The handsome guy caught it and took a bite. “Bro, I just got back from a business trip. As soon as I heard you were escorted to Beijing by the old man, I rushed back to see what torture you’re enduring.”
He looked at me and smiled mischievously like Ye Zhengchen. “Looks like you’re not doing too badly, with a beautiful companion.”
“How am I not miserable? It’s worse than being in prison,” Ye Zhengchen complained, pointing to the guard. “Quickly think of a way to get me out of here.”
“I’m powerless. Your father has arranged everything. Unless your injury is completely healed, you can’t step out of here.”
Ye Zhengchen deflated, lying back on the bed.
The handsome guy walked to my side. “Hi, I’m Zheng Wei…”
Hearing these two words, I remembered Yin Zhongtian’s last conversation where he mentioned Ye Zhengchen’s friend Zheng Wei was handling his case.
Before I could respond, Ye Zhengchen pulled me aside, “Stay away from him. He has everything except good character!”
It was the first time I’d heard someone praise their friend like this. Zheng Wei laughed, patting my shoulder, “Don’t believe him. He has everything except a conscience!”
I was certain they were best friends!
Zheng Wei sat in the hospital until dusk, chatting for three hours. Before leaving, he glanced at the supplements, “You don’t even need these. I’ll take a few back for my old man.”
“Take whatever you like.”
He picked up several items and walked to the door, holding them out to the guard, “Can you come with me?”
The guard hesitated, looking at Ye Zhengchen.
“Go quickly!” Ye Zhengchen commanded.
The guard saluted and left with the items. Zheng Wei waved at Ye Zhengchen, “No need to thank me!”
“I’ll treat you to drinks when I’m discharged.”
Zheng Wei locked the door behind him.
For a continuous week, we barely touched. The moment someone left, this beast would seize the opportunity to hold me close.
“Do you have to be this urgent?”
“The nurse will come to give me an injection in twenty minutes.”
“What if someone comes to visit?”
“Who would come this late?”
