Chapter 214

When Xu Xiuhe arrived, Chang Zhiyuan was howling.0

"You finally came! If you'd been any later, my bladder would have exploded."0

"Serve you right. Why didn't you call a nurse?"0

"Nurses are women. How could I let another woman touch my body? No way, no way. A good man must keep himself pure." Chang Zhiyuan waved his hand dismissively.0

"Sure, I believe you," Xu Xiuhe said sarcastically, wondering how anyone could be even more thick-skinned than him.0

"Xiuhe, what do you mean? You don't believe me? I admit, I might have been a bit of a player before, but that was only because I hadn't found true love yet. It's different now. Now I have to stay chaste for my dear Shu Yi."0

Xu Xiuhe looked at him with disgust. "Has your bladder grown larger?"0

"Quick, I'm about to burst. Hurry up and help me to the bathroom."0

Xu Xiuhe reached out and pulled Chang Zhiyuan up by one arm.0

When Chang Zhiyuan came out of the bathroom, he let out a sigh of relief. "Finally took care of that. Xiuhe, I absolutely must treat you to a meal."0

"What happened to you? How did you end up like this? Will you be able to walk in the future?"0

"Don't curse me. It's just a fracture. I'll be fine in a while."0

"It takes a hundred days for muscles and bones to heal. You're telling me it'll only take a few days?"0

Xu Xiuhe's words hit a sore spot for Chang Zhiyuan. It was just bad luck that he could break a bone going down stairs. He was too embarrassed to tell anyone.0

"Where is everyone? Where's the caregiver?" Xu Xiuhe asked.0

"Don't even mention it. I purposely didn't hire a caregiver so that Shu Yi could take care of me. But then my parents showed up this morning, and she left. Now I'm all alone here, lonely and pitiful."0

"Zhiyuan, you didn't hurt yourself like this on purpose just to get her to take care of you, did you?" Xu Xiuhe looked at Chang Zhiyuan's right leg, which was covered in a plaster cast.0

"Do I look crazy to you?"0

"You look like you're sick, the kind that needs medication."0

"Alright, let's talk about what's important. Why did Shu Yi leave? I called her, but her phone is turned off."0

Xu Xiuhe walked to Chang Zhiyuan's bedside and put his hand on Chang Zhiyuan's head, examining him. "It's your leg that's broken, not your brain."0

Chang Zhiyuan immediately caught on.0

"If you're my friend, don't beat around the bush. Just say it straight."0

"Didn't you say your parents came? When she saw your parents arrive, of course she would leave. Her phone is off – think carefully, what could be the reason? Is it possible they said something to Shu Yi?"0

"How did I not think of that?" Chang Zhiyuan slapped his forehead.0

Xu Xiuhe marveled again at how a man in love could be so irrational.0

The nurse pushing the wheelchair came over, making a motion to help Chang Zhiyuan.0

Chang Zhiyuan quickly waved them off. As a good man, he had to uphold male virtues. Men and women shouldn't touch casually. It would be better if he got into the wheelchair himself.0

Chang Zhiyuan first put his left foot on the ground, then supported himself with both hands on the bed and sat down in the wheelchair.0

"Push me to the hospital entrance."0

The young nurse complied.0

Chang Zhiyuan was wearing hospital clothes and only took his phone when he left the room.0

Chang Zhiyuan called Shu Yi many times, but each time he heard the message: "The number you have dialed is powered off."0

Chang Zhiyuan sat in the wheelchair and waited for a while. His assistant drove up and stopped at the hospital entrance.0

"Boss."0

"Quick, get me into the car."0

The assistant supported Chang Zhiyuan with one hand as Chang Zhiyuan hopped on his left foot to the back seat of the car.0

"Put the wheelchair in the trunk."0

The assistant opened the trunk, and the young nurse pushed the wheelchair forward. With the assistant's help, they put it in the trunk.0

"The patient needs to return by tonight. We have another examination," the nurse said.0

The assistant quickly agreed, closed the trunk and the back door, then got into the driver's seat.0

At the ice cream shop, Shu Yi felt half of her unhappiness melt away after the therapeutic effects of the dessert.0

"How do you plan to face him next?" Shen Yin asked.0

Shu Yi shook her head. She was an artist under his company. As long as she stayed with his company, it would be impossible for them to avoid crossing paths. In the past, it wasn't so bad, but now they had filmed a drama together and still had to coordinate to make official announcements. They would have to work together in the future as well.0

"Let it be. If I'm not mistaken, your phone is probably turned off right now."0

Shen Yin took a sip of her drink.0

"Who is he?"0

Xu Yunzheng looked up, glancing at Shu Yi, then back at Shen Yin.0

"He's my godfather."0

"Didn't Dad say that godfather likes godmother?"0

Shen Yin quickly covered Xu Yunzheng's mouth with her hand, but Shu Yi had already heard.0

Shen Yin had expected Shu Yi to be upset for a while.0
