Chapter 271

The sudden thunderclap caused an electrical disturbance in the hospital. Shi Li could hear the crackling of electricity, followed by the room's lights flickering twice.

Feng's Mother was startled by the brief darkness. She patted her chest, saying, "What's happening? It's quite frightening."

This change had given Feng's Mother quite a scare.

She quickly stepped forward to inquire about Feng Yunhe's condition, "Son, are you alright? Are you okay? Will the thunder affect you?"

Shi Li couldn't help but mock internally: [What does Feng Yunhe have to fear from thunder? He hasn't done anything to feel guilty about.]

[He didn't make any vows during thunder, and he doesn't have a lightning rod on his head, what's there to be afraid of?]

Feng Yunhe, who indeed had no lightning rod on his head: ......

[Though hailstones the size of fists did target only his head, so maybe he should be careful during thunder.]

Feng Yunhe, with bandages wrapped around his head: ...... So much for having a secret crush on him, just to mock him internally like this.

Feng Yunhe, unwilling to be outdone, patted his mother's arm, "I haven't done anything unconscionable, you don't need to worry about me."

A mother's worry for her son needs no reason. After confirming her son was fine, Feng's Mother finally relaxed.

Someone knocked on the door from outside, and the nurse in charge came in to check on them concernedly, "Hello, our hospital just experienced some minor electrical issues. Patients and family members need not worry, workers are already conducting repairs. If you need anything, please use the call button."

Though these questions were tedious, Feng's Mother listened very attentively.

After the nurse left, she asked everything again, and Feng Yunhe answered his mother's questions patiently without showing any annoyance.

After quite a while, Feng's Mother suddenly remembered, "Oh my, I should go next door to check on your father."

Feng's Mother's tone carried some complaint, "That old man, at his age, still causes worry. Worrying about you is enough, now I have to spare thoughts for him too."

Liang Rongrong covered her mouth and laughed, "Godfather and godmother are really loving."

Shi Li's mouth twitched, [They really are affectionate]n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

After Feng's Mother left, only Shi Li, Feng Yunhe, and Liang Rongrong remained in the ward.

Liang Rongrong moved to Feng Yunhe's bedside, forked a piece of pear, and held it to his mouth, "Brother Yunhe, have some fruit to soothe your throat."

Feng Yunhe remembered how Liang Rongrong had tried to harm him, and turned his head away. Thinking about how she had still saved him, his tone wasn't too harsh as he said, "You can eat it yourself, don't worry about me, I don't like fruit."

Since Feng Yunhe's tone was relatively gentle, Liang Rongrong didn't suspect anything. After all, Feng Yunhe was known for his mercurial moods, and he even showed concern by telling her to eat it herself.

Liang Rongrong showed her rice-grain teeth, "Okay, Brother Yunhe."

Shi Li also smiled, "Brother Yunhe, when I heard about your accident, I was so worried I couldn't even stay at school. I just had to come see you. I'm relieved to see you're okay. You must follow the doctor's orders while in the hospital and rest well. Don't rush back to handle company matters before you've fully recovered."

[Such a fatal wound, yet he's recovering so quickly]

[As expected of him, he's really hard to kill]

Feng Yunhe: Woman, your name is hypocrisy

Feng Yunhe looked up, "Thank you, I'll take good care of myself. I won't disappoint your expectations."

Originally, when Feng Yunhe had declined her offer, Liang Rongrong hadn't felt too rejected, since Feng Yunhe was equally impatient with all women except his mother.

But now he was responding to Shi Li so patiently, which surprised Liang Rongrong and sparked a sense of crisis within her.

Shi Li almost teared up, "Brother Yunhe is actually listening to me, I'm so touched and honored."

Feng Yunhe had long since labeled Shi Li as a drama queen in his mind. He showed a faint smile, "You're genuinely concerned about me, and I'm not someone who can't tell right from wrong."

He particularly emphasized the word "genuinely."

Shi Li got goosebumps hearing this, [So greasy, so very greasy, he fits his character better when he's arrogant]

The "greasy" Feng Yunhe: ...... She complains when I'm arrogant, and she complains when I'm not. She's really hard to please.

The cut fruit had almost been mashed by Liang Rongrong's fork. He really was different with her.

In Liang Rongrong's memory, Feng Yunhe had always been impatient with Shi Li, so when did this change? She hadn't even noticed.

"I'm so touched, I knew you cared about me."

"I've noticed you're very easily moved."

While Shi Li maintained her composure externally, she was exploding internally, [What's wrong with him? Did the hit to his head scramble his brains or is he possessed? How can he say such things, especially in front of Liang Rongrong?]

[Don't drag me into this relationship-destroying behavior!]

Feng Yunhe's eyes flickered. There was still a relationship thread between him and Liang Rongrong?

Shi Li caught Liang Rongrong's small movements from the corner of her eye and suddenly understood, [I get it]

Feng Yunhe: Feels like she's understood something remarkable

[Major drama hurts, but minor drama entertains. She's trying to make Liang Rongrong jealous]

Feng Yunhe closed his eyes in slight despair - she guessed right, but please stop guessing.

After Shi Li and Feng Yunhe "flirted" for two more rounds, when Shi Li looked back at Liang Rongrong, the pear pieces had been completely mashed.

Shi Li internally exclaimed, [As expected of you, Liang 'Blender' Rongrong]

Feng Yunhe, who had been hit on the head by hail and had bandages wrapped around his head, found Shi Li's internal monologue too lively today. He couldn't help wanting to rub his temples but stopped when he touched the bandages.

Shi Li's phone ring saved him.

Shi Li saw that the caller was Fu Huixing, "I'll step out to take this call."

Shi Li found it a bit strange, as Fu Huixing rarely called her, usually preferring to contact her through a certain green app.

Him suddenly calling today must mean something important.

"What's wrong? Did something happen?"

"Yes, something did. Are you busy?" Fu Huixing's voice was somewhat serious.

"No, I'm not busy. Tell me."

"After school today, I encountered some thugs bullying Song Ying."

The real situation was that when some thugs tried to cause trouble for Song Ying, she had fought back with whatever weapon was at hand. Though it was hard to fight against multiple opponents, by the time he arrived, Song Ying was injured, but the attackers hadn't fared well either.

Seeing that reinforcements had arrived, the thugs scattered.

"I took her to the police station to file a report." The police said they would check the surrounding surveillance cameras, and then they were sent on their way.

"I took Song Ying home, but I felt I should tell you about this, since she's your sister." Fu Huixing paused, "When you get home, check if she's offended anyone, and talk to her family too. It would be best if she had bodyguards when going out."
