Shen Wanci just received a video call from Bo Jingzhou as soon as she returned to the hotel. She picked up the video call while stretching her sore neck: "Yuezhi said you were poisoned, how are you now? Is it serious?"

"It's not serious, you can be discharged after observing for two days. I just can't visit you temporarily right now," Qin Yuezhi said to Shen Wanci when he was by her side. They were both aware of the conversation content, so there was no need to worry about being exposed.

But he didn't want to lie to her, especially not when faced with Shen Wanci's worried eyes. He felt a pain in his throat, unable to utter a single word.

She truly didn't doubt a single word of Qin Yuezhi's flimsy excuses.

Bo Jinchou quickly changed the subject: "How was the competition today?"

"A little nervous," Shen Wanci's voice was filled with excitement as she talked about her field, "There are so many audiences downstairs, all famous seniors in the industry. Besides, there are people recording and filming the whole time. Plus, the judges sitting on the edge of the competition stage... I feel like I'm back in the high school entrance exam, being watched by the proctor as I take my test."

Bo Jingzhou was amused by her vivid description, but soon, the corners of his lips drooped. "Wanwan, I'm sorry."

"Apologizing so smoothly, did you do something wrong?" Shen Wanci looked at him with a smile, seemingly just an offhand question, but if you looked closely, you would find that her eyes and eyebrows were actually quite serious. "Confession leads to leniency, resistance leads to strictness. Tell me the truth quickly, for your sake of confessing willingly, I'll forgive you."

"I said I would come to Italy with you today, but I broke my promise, I'm sorry."

"Isn't this also a sudden situation? And even if you came over, you wouldn't be able to meet tonight. Just now during the competition, they said that we can't leave the team during the competition, let alone leave the competition area," Shen Wanci lay on the bed doing yoga stretches: "If you came over, we would be one inside and one outside, so close yet unable to see each other. Then I would definitely think of you all day tomorrow during the competition, wouldn't that distract me even more?"

An indescribable feeling surged through Bo Jingzhou's heart, his heartbeat accelerating and buzzing in his ears. The gloomy mood he had been in immediately lifted thanks to her.

The man curved his lips, a faint smile in his low voice: "So that means you wouldn't miss me if I were back in the country?"

This person is deliberately nitpicking with her, isn't he?

Shen Wanci smiled softly, "It's too far from home. Even if I wanted to, I couldn't see them in a short time, so I subconsciously stopped thinking about it."

Bo Jingzhou hurriedly said, "I'll come see you tomorrow."

"No need, the competition ends the day after tomorrow. You'd sit for hours on a plane to pick me up and then another few hours to fly back. Isn't that too much of a hassle?"

“But I promised to go to Italy to pick you up,” Bo Jingzhou was silent for a few seconds, “Besides, I’m too lazy to run.”

"Then you just stay in the hospital and wait for me to come back and pick you up."

Bo Jingzhou: “...When will you be back?”

"Let's wait two days after the competition ends. Everyone wants to buy some souvenirs, and we've all been on edge for so long. It'll be a good chance to relax."

"You've been wandering the streets for so many days, and you still haven't bought anything?" Hearing that Shen Wanci was going to stay there for a few more days, Bo Jingzhou's mood soured instantly.

Shen Wanci softly coaxed him: "It'll be over soon."

Compared to their warm interactions, the two people in the car were not so pleasant. Qin Yuezhi had already forgotten how many times she had checked the time, her face was black as a pot bottom: "How come they haven't come down yet? Does he plan to stay here overnight? Is he planning to marry me or something?"

Huo Tingdong drove around the parking lot, he didn't want to, but if he didn't, the air conditioner wouldn't cool down.

Hearing Qin Yuezhi's voice burning with anger beside him, he helplessly said, "Shall I give him a call?"

"Don't hit, I want to see how long he thinks he can stay up there."

She doesn't care whether Bo Jingzhou leaves or stays. Ideally, he shouldn't come down at all. She wants him to be locked up with that immoral woman on the surface and never bother anyone else. But Wan Ci is currently abroad, so she has to keep an eye on her and make sure she stays put.

Even if something were to happen, it had to be discussed with Wanci first before anything else.

Before persuading Wanci to go abroad, she promised that she would keep an eye on Bo Jingzhou for her, but now...

Qin Yuezhi glanced at the entrance of the inpatient department. She hadn't seen Bo Jingzhou's figure yet, so she couldn't help but elbow Huo Tingdong: "Call him."

Ho Tingdong stopped the car and, risking being scolded to death by Qin Yuezhi's fury, defended Bo Jingzhou: "The things you're worried about won't happen. Don't overthink it and get angry at yourself."

"I can imagine things, and it's because he gave me room for misunderstanding. If he knew better, what would I have imagined? On the subway, people are crowded together, and when someone brakes suddenly everyone bumps into each other. I wouldn't even think about it that way."

"…" Miss Xie, after all, saved Jingzhou. In that situation, he couldn't just leave her behind."

To abandon a savior would be to invite the wrath of internet users, who could drown him in their scorn. Come morning, Thin's stock will plummet at the opening bell.

"If it wasn't for Miss Xie pushing Jingzhou away, it would be him lying in the hospital now, uncertain of life and death. Xie Chuyi leaned forward when she pushed someone, so her back was hit, but if it had been Jingzhou, the place he got hit would have been his head..."

He Tingdong held Qin Yuezhi's hand: "What kind of result do you think Shen Wanci wants to see more?"

"Qin Yuezhi wasn't unreasonable. She knew the difference between what was important and what wasn't. The reason she was so angry wasn't just because Bo Jingzhou brought Xie Chuyi to the hospital and missed her flight: "Then, given your understanding of Bo Jingzhou, tell me, what kind of gift was so essential that he had to make this trip before leaving?"

Even if you're going to buy, wouldn't you choose a place with a shopping mall? Besides that big RT-Mart, what else is there in that area? Not only is the location unsuitable, but it also happens to be where Xie Chuyi gives tutoring lessons. This coincidence is like fate opening the door for coincidence, coincidence all the way home.”

Because Shen Wanci had her investigate Xie Chuyi before, she paid special attention to that woman this time.

Bo Jingzhou's new assistant has been by her side this whole time, going to report every day, even more frequently than going to see the official boss lady, Wan Ci.

Qin Yuezhi now didn't want to hear Huo Tingen speak well of Bo Jingzhou at all. Seeing that he was still going on and on, she slapped his arm, "Call, don't talk."

Today, the temperature dropped. Huo Tingdong wore a light down jacket. With her pat, all the feathers scattered.

Qin Yuezhi blurted out a dialect she learned from the TV: "What kind of junk."

Huo Tingdong : "..."

Just as he was about to make a phone call, Bo Jingzhou came out. top: 29419step on: 97
