The night was cool as water, and in the quiet villa, all the lights suddenly went out.
Feng Qingyi was cooking porridge in the kitchen, with the blue flame of the gas stove still burning.
Feng Qingyi took out her phone, turned on the flashlight, and prepared to go out to check if there had been a power trip.
Just as she reached the living room, Feng Qingyi heard somewhat heavy footsteps.
Feng Qingyi held up her phone to look around, but saw no one.
She had clearly just heard footsteps, could it have been her imagination?
As Feng Qingyi was puzzling over this, she found herself being embraced from behind.
Feng Qingyi was about to push away when the person behind her spoke.
"Qingqing, don't be afraid, it's me."
Feng Qingyi turned her head and, by the light of the flashlight, saw Qin Yuchuan's face.
"You, what's wrong with you?"
Qin Yuchuan just held Feng Qingyi without speaking.
Feng Qingyi grew worried, his state was completely off, could he be injured again?
"Are you hurt?"
Seeing he didn't answer, Feng Qingyi pried open his hands and turned around, only to find he had already fallen unconscious.
Feng Qingyi had no choice but to help him lie down on the sofa, then went to check the circuit breaker.
It had indeed tripped, and after Feng Qingyi pushed it back up, the villa instantly became bright again.
Feng Qingyi looked at Qin Yuchuan on the sofa, his face as pale as paper, and touched his forehead, finding no fever.
Feng Qingyi looked him over carefully and found no visible wounds, but his condition was clearly not normal.
After much deliberation, Feng Qingyi decided to call 120 and take him to the hospital to find out what was wrong and get proper treatment.
At the hospital, after much fuss, they concluded it was food poisoning.
When Qin Yuchuan woke up, he found himself wearing strange clothes, lying in bed with a needle in the back of his hand connected to a bottle hanging by the bedside.
A Little Girl was sleeping with her head on the edge of the bed. Qin Yuchuan gently stroked her hair, a faint smile appearing on his face.
Suddenly, the door to the ward opened, and a Middle-aged Doctor holding a stack of medical records walked in.
"Young man, you're finally awake!"
"What were you thinking, trying to commit suicide by poisoning yourself?"
"Life is precious and only comes once, you must cherish it. Even if you don't think about yourself, think about your parents."
"You're so young, with a long future ahead. Even if you encounter difficulties, you can't think about ending your life."
"That Little Girl next to you is your girlfriend, right? You don't know how she's been running around worrying about you, almost to tears. Think about it."
Qin Yuchuan: "..."
When did he attempt suicide? He had no idea about this.
"Now you rest well, you'll need to stay in the hospital for observation for a few days. No food for 20 hours, if you're hungry just bear with it. After all, if you dared to attempt suicide, going hungry for a while shouldn't be a problem."
"This IV drip will take some more time to finish. If it runs out, press the call button."
After giving his instructions, the doctor closed the ward door.
The sound of the door closing woke Feng Qingyi. She sat up, rubbing her eyes sleepily.
"Sorry for waking you."
Hearing the voice, Feng Qingyi looked at Qin Yuchuan.
"You're awake. How do you feel now?"
Qin Yuchuan: "I'm fine, Qingqing, don't worry."
Feng Qingyi: "You're fine? You've been poisoned. The doctor just said if we'd brought you in any later, you might not have made it."
"I thought you were so capable, but you're either getting injured or poisoned. Didn't you say you were safe?"
"Qingqing, this time it really was an accident," Qin Yuchuan tried to pat Feng Qingyi's head, but she dodged.
"That's what you say every time." A few more times like this, and she might never see him again.
Qin Yuchuan held one of Feng Qingyi's hands, "Qingqing, I'm sorry for making you worry."
"Then you have to take better care of yourself in the future. No getting hurt, and no getting sick." Feng Qingyi said.
Qin Yuchuan smiled wryly, "Qingqing, I can only say I'll try my best."
"Alright, I don't want to talk to you anymore. It's so late, I'm going to sleep."
Feng Qingyi was about to lay her head down on the edge of the bed when Qin Yuchuan pulled her back, "Sleep on the bed."
Feng Qingyi looked at the single hospital bed, which clearly couldn't support two people lying down.
"It's fine, I'll just nap here for a bit. It'll be dawn soon anyway."
Qin Yuchuan sat up, "You lie down, I can sit."
"You're the patient now, lie down and don't move around. I'll just stay here for a while."
Seeing Feng Qingyi's insistence, Qin Yuchuan slowly lay back down.
Feng Qingyi had only been resting by the bed for a short while when her phone alarm went off.
She pulled her phone out of her pocket to turn off the alarm, and looked up to see Qin Yuchuan giving her a somewhat pitiful look.
"What's wrong?"
Qin Yuchuan: "Are you leaving?"
"No, that was just my wake-up alarm. Your IV drip is almost finished, I'll call the doctor for you."
Feng Qingyi pressed the call button, and soon a Nurse came to remove Qin Yuchuan's IV.
"The patient shouldn't eat anything for 24 hours. After 24 hours, he can only have liquid foods. Once he's recovered normally, he can gradually return to a normal diet."
Feng Qingyi nodded, "Alright, thank you!"
After the Nurse left, Qin Yuchuan asked, "Where is this place?"
"This is a hospital, like the medical halls in your world."
Qin Yuchuan looked around, secretly marveling at the novelty of this place.
Outside the window, day was breaking, and Qin Yuchuan remembered what had happened the night before.
"Qingqing, I should go back."
Feng Qingyi looked at him, "You need to stay in the hospital for two days for observation, to check for any adverse reactions. You can only leave when everything's normal."
Qin Yuchuan: "I need to go back and give instructions to my subordinates."
"Alright then, but come back quickly. I'll keep watch at the door for you."
Qin Yuchuan, wearing slippers, walked to Feng Qingyi's side, "Thank you for your hard work."
"Remember to come back soon. If the doctor comes for rounds and the patient is missing, I won't know how to explain," Feng Qingyi said.
Qin Yuchuan nodded, "I'll be back shortly."
Feng Qingyi was somewhat relieved that she had chosen a private room last night, and that there were no surveillance cameras in the room. Otherwise, he might really have been taken away for research.
Back in his camp, Qin Yuchuan summoned Yan Chi and Yan Yang to give them instructions.
This poisoning was very unusual. It seemed that the people around him also needed to be thoroughly investigated.
Seeing Qin Yuchuan's strange attire, Yan Chi and Yan Yang guessed where he had been and weren't too worried.
"General, how are you feeling now?"
Qin Yuchuan: "I'm fine for now. Spread the news of my poisoning."
Yan Chi: "General, that's absolutely out of the question. It would cause unrest in the army."
