As an admirer, it was natural to visit Feng Yunhe in the hospital.
So Shi Li only attended classes for two days before telling her Class Teacher and simply slipping away.
The Class Teacher had become numb to it by now - he couldn't control Shi Li anymore, so she could do whatever she wanted.
Zuo Hengyi had hoped that Shi Li would wait until after school so they could visit Feng Yunhe together.
But he hadn't expected her to be so eager that she'd skip class just to see Feng Yunhe.
However, he was different - he was a poor student who still had to attend school.
Shi Li learned which hospital Feng Yunhe was in from Zuo Hengyi. Instead of having her family's driver take her, she hailed a taxi from the street.
This was a luxury hospital where many wealthy people in Blue City preferred to go. It had an excellent environment, good privacy, and great service - its only flaw was being expensive.
However, price wasn't an issue for wealthy people.
Xiao Feiyu's brother was also currently a patient in this hospital.
After Shi Li gave the nurse the floor and room number, someone personally escorted her to Feng Yunhe's suite.
Though Shi Li came mainly out of curiosity, she still had to act like a proper visitor, so she brought flowers in one hand and fruit in the other.
"Brother Yunhe, I heard you were injured, so I came to see you. How are you feeling? Is your body okay?"
Feng Yunhe lay pale in his hospital bed, looking somewhat pitiful, with Feng's Mother and Liang Rongrong sitting on either side of his bed.
Shi Li smiled and greeted Feng's Mother, "Auntie, how are you? You must have been terrified. I brought apples - they have a calming effect, so please eat some."
Feng's Mother was very fond of Shi Li. She put the flowers she brought in a vase on the tea table and placed the fruit basket on Feng Yunhe's bedside table.
"That's very thoughtful of you."
While her husband's injury had upset her, she had grown accustomed to it over time as he was frequently injured, and gradually became less worried.
But her son was different - he was her precious child, and his injuries affected her deeply.
Feng's Mother hadn't slept properly for several days. Even though there were nurses and caregivers looking after her son, she slept in the suite's second bedroom and couldn't rest at night, getting up several times to check on him.
Seeing Feng's Mother's poor condition, Shi Li reminded her to take care of herself and not neglect her own health while focusing on Feng Yunhe.
Feng's Mother nodded in agreement, and Shi Li casually asked, "Where's Uncle? Is he busy with company matters?"
There are no filial children by a long sickbed, let alone a wife.
Feng's Mother now had major grievances with her husband, and said with a grimace, "Him? When he heard Yunhe was injured, he had a heart attack and is lying in the next room."
Shi Li: !!
[He's really become like the fragile Lin Daiyu now]
[But Feng's Father's health is really too poor - he's only fifty, yet just hearing the news was enough to trigger a heart attack]
The culprit, Feng Yunhe, lay calmly in bed reading company financial reports as if none of this had anything to do with him.
Liang Rongrong sat obediently by the bed, "You all chat, I'll go wash some fruit."
Shi Li asked a couple of concerned questions about Feng Yunhe's condition.
Feng's Mother remembered it was still a workday, "Li, why aren't you in school? Did you skip class just to see this boy? That won't do - you could come see him after school, or wait until the weekend in two days. You shouldn't miss school for something like this."
Though Feng Yunhe's eyes were on the financial report, he still managed to interject, "Mom, Shi Li got early admission, she doesn't need to go to school anymore, remember?"
Feng's Mother had indeed forgotten about this. She held Shi Li's hand and praised her, "Auntie forgot about that. You're such a good child. Yunhe should learn from you. I don't know what he's always so busy with, his grades are terrible - I don't even want to talk about it."
As an admirer, Shi Li defended Feng Yunhe with a shy face, "Please don't say that. Brother Yunhe is already amazing - he's busy with company work but still manages to rank near the top of the class."
[This setting is ridiculous - letting a high school student neglect his studies to work at a company. Is he really that capable of multitasking, handling both college entrance exams and business battles?]
Feng Yunhe, who was reading company reports: ??
[Working even when feeling unwell]
Feng Yunhe: She must be concerned about me
[Can he really focus on reading? Is he just posing to look cool?]
Feng Yunhe: You said you liked me, is this how you show it?
Liang Rongrong returned with a plate of fruit, "Classmate Shi Li, I washed some pears, would you like some?"
Shi Li shook her head, "No thank you."
She had cut the fruit into small pieces and arranged them neatly on an elegant plate with small silver forks.
Liang Rongrong eagerly offered the plate to Feng's Mother, "Auntie, please have some."
Feng's Mother politely ate a piece, "Not bad."
Liang Rongrong had often tried to curry favor with Feng's Mother before, but Feng's Mother never fell for it and treated her like air, which greatly displeased Feng's Father.
Because Liang Rongrong had saved Feng Yunhe this time, Feng's Mother's attitude toward her had improved considerably.
When Liang Rongrong showed her attentiveness now, Feng's Mother wouldn't completely ignore her and would respond somewhat.
Seeing their relationship improve, Shi Li couldn't help but reflect, [Feng Yunhe's injury wasn't for nothing - at least it helped improve the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law]
[According to the original trajectory, Feng Yunhe would have been hit by rolling rocks in a mudslide, saved by Liang Rongrong, and then developed feelings for his savior]
[Well, his injury is somewhat of a good thing in a way]
[Although you almost lost your life, you gained a kind and beautiful partner]
[Although you almost had to reincarnate, your wife and mother's relationship became very harmonious]
Feng Yunhe rubbed his arms, feeling that Liang Rongrong seemed less like his savior and more like someone who had come to take his life.
Feng Yunhe didn't need a kind and beautiful Liang Rongrong as his partner, nor did he need Liang Rongrong to have a harmonious relationship with his mother.
He especially didn't want all of this to come at the cost of nearly losing half his life.
At this moment, he had only one thought: was Liang Rongrong bringing him bad luck?
He needed to find a way to stay away from her.
In the cloudless sky, a thunderclap suddenly exploded out of nowhere.
