After confirming his relationship with He Qing, Feng Xinyang notified his two ‘fellow enthusiasts’. However, one of them was pressured by his family to inspect a branch company out of town. The remaining one, Yan Xizhi, who stayed in the capital eating, drinking, and playing around, came scurrying over happily as soon as he heard there was new fun to be had.

Yan Xizhi was the same age as Feng Xinyang. Unlike Feng Xinyang, who was the only child in his family and acted without any scruples, Yan Xizhi was an illegitimate child. He had a bunch of siblings at home who fought every day until they were black and blue. Very cleverly, Yan Xizhi displayed a playboy demeanor in his youth, successfully standing out from a pile of brothers who scrambled to be ambitious every day, and became Old Master Yan’s most doted-upon youngest son.

After graduating, he didn’t go to the family company like his brothers did, but followed his superstar mother into the entertainment circle. Because of his gorgeous face that resembled his mother’s, coupled with his massive network of connections, he also managed to earn the title of ‘male god’. Of course, this was just playing around for fun; after all, he had no interest in jumping into freezing water in the dead of winter.

Upon hearing that there was a new toy, Yan Xizhi skipped the afternoon audition arranged by his manager without any psychological burden and came all the way to the hospital. When Feng Xinyang brought He Qing in and pushed the door open, he was currently mocking Ning Feng on the bed, “Are you keeping watch for Xinyang? You don’t have any illness or disaster, do you really plan to live in the hospital for the rest of your life?”

Just as his voice fell, the door was pushed open. Feng Xinyang glared at him, “What are you saying!”

“A-Qing, let me introduce you. This is my childhood friend, Yan Xizhi, you can just call him Xizhi. Xizhi, this is my boyfriend, He Qing.” With a smile on his face, he very intimately pulled He Qing into his arms. “In the future, I will bring A-Qing to our gatherings, you guys should get to know each other!”

Yan Xizhi completely inherited his Movie Queen mother’s gorgeous looks. A man, looking more beautiful than any girl He Qing had ever seen. Being stared at by those peach-blossom eyes, the mild-mannered doctor’s face reddened slightly. “Hello, Xizhi…” He looked somewhat shyly at Feng Xinyang, who was watching them with a smile, nervously pursed his lips, and continued, “I am Xinyang’s boyfriend.”

A trace of surprise flashed across Yan Xizhi’s handsome face. He didn’t show it, and waited until He Qing left for ward rounds before pulling Feng Xinyang aside: “What’s going on with you? Your taste is this terrible this time? He’s way too old!”

When have they not looked for tender, green-onion-like youths? Boys who had just come of age were easy to fool and had delicate looks. How were they like this Dr. He? Although he also looked quite easy to fool and wasn’t bad looking, he was too far off from those little cuties!

Hearing Yan Xizhi question his taste, Feng Xinyang became unhappy: “If you don’t like him, then don’t join in!”

Yan Xizhi instantly became amused: “What’s going on with you, exploding at the slightest touch. What’s so special about this He Qing that you don’t want me to touch him so much?”

As soon as Feng Xinyang spoke, he also realized he was a bit too agitated. His brows furrowed imperceptibly, and his tone softened slightly, “You look at the face, I look at the hands. If A-Qing doesn’t suit your taste, then let’s forget about it this time.”

Forget it? Look for another one anew? Before Yan Xizhi had time to ask, Ning Feng, who had been reading on the side all along, coldly put down his book. His stern face was full of impatience: “Can you go outside to discuss these things!”

“Fine! I’m going out, I’m going out!” He ran over excitedly, only to see a ‘subpar good’. Yan Xizhi curled his lips and walked out of the ward. Along the way, passing little nurses whispered among themselves after seeing him. Only then did he remember that from the moment they met until they parted, that little doctor hadn’t expressed anything regarding his identity.

Only then did Yan Xizhi drum up a bit of interest. Ever since he stepped into the entertainment circle, every time he came out, he was the focus of the crowd’s eyes. This was the very first time he was treated so calmly by someone. However, thinking of He Qing’s gentle face that was neither delicate nor beautiful, the interest that had just risen fell back down again.

Forget it, instead of having this free time, he might as well go hook up with a few young fresh meats!

Just as the beautiful man was swinging his car keys and crossing the hospital garden intending to leave, he heard faint scolding and crying coming from the other side of the garden. He didn’t plan to intervene, but the crying grew louder and louder, sounding like a child’s voice. Yan Xizhi frowned sharply and strode with his long legs toward the location of the crying.

“What are you crying for! I’m just borrowing your toy to play with for a bit!” An approximately ten-year-old boy had an arrogant look on his face, holding a toy car in his hands. His childish voice was full of malice: “Anyway, your legs are broken and you can’t play, what’s wrong with letting me play with it!”

The boy who was crying was about seven or eight years old. With a cast on his leg, he sat in a wheelchair crying until his face was completely red, sobbing as he spoke: “This is, Mom, Mom bought this for me…”

“Isn’t she using my dad’s money? Toys bought with my dad’s money, why can’t I play with them? You are not my dad’s son, you’re the one who shouldn’t play!” The ten-year-old boy looked down condescendingly at the non-stop crying little boy. “If you cry again, I’ll tell my dad your mom bullied me and have him kick you guys out!”

Hearing the last sentence, Yan Xizhi’s face suddenly darkened. Just as he was about to step out, a gentle voice called out from the other side, “Chenchen, Chenchen… is that you crying? Where are you?”

The ten-year-old boy somewhat panickedly dropped the toy, threw out a threat, and abandoned the boy to run away. Yan Xizhi pulled back his outstretched foot, watching him run far away with gloomy eyes. A few seconds later, the gentle man wearing a white doctor’s coat walked out. He squatted down in front of the constantly sobbing and crying boy, took out a handkerchief, and tenderly wiped his tears clean.

“Chenchen, Uncle heard everything. Don’t cry anymore, it’s your brother’s fault for bullying you,” he rubbed the boy’s head, comforting him, “As long as Chenchen grows up, no one will be able to bully you anymore.”

Hearing the youth’s words, Yan Xizhi sneered in his heart. Grow up? Growing up only means that this kind of thing will happen more and more. Those people will only become less and less able to tolerate him. Bystanders like them only self-righteously tell them to endure, but have never thought about how painful enduring is.

Thinking of how he was bullied openly and secretly by those so-called older brothers since he was little—he had cried and made a fuss, but in the end, it only bought him a sentence of ‘endure’ from his mother. And the result? If he hadn’t listened to Ning Feng’s words to hide his talents and disguise himself as an ignorant, unmotivated person who didn’t seek to improve, would he still be alive right now?

The little boy’s tears were wiped dry, but new tears fell again. Red-eyed, he said aggrievedly, “But growing up takes a long time. Brother is always bullying me. My leg was broken because he pushed me downstairs, and he won’t admit it. Dad believes him and doesn’t believe me. I don’t dare tell Mom, Mom works very hard. Brother said he’s going to kill me, I’m so scared…”

He Qing was stunned. He looked down at the boy’s leg in a cast. When he looked up again, his expression was noticeably heavier. “Chenchen don’t be afraid, Uncle will help you. Let’s go back first, okay? I’ll tell the nurse sisters not to let your brother push you out anymore.”

Watching the young doctor push the little boy in the wheelchair away, Yan Xizhi sneered. As expected, another person who only knows how to speak pretty words. But even as he thought this, his footsteps still followed uncontrollably.

Yan Xizhi saw the young doctor carefully call the boy’s mother out. The two spoke for a long time. After a while, the young mother entered the ward with red eyes. Standing outside the ward, he heard the plain-looking mother tell the little boy that she would divorce that man; even if it was a bit tough, she wouldn’t let others bully her child.

How nice. Yan Xizhi lowered his eyes slightly, but the corners of his mouth drooped ironically. When He Qing came out from the corner, he saw the beautiful man dejectedly lowering his eyelashes, his entire body overflowing with a sad aura. He hesitated slightly, but still walked up.

“Xizhi… are you… lost?”

Yan Xizhi’s low pressure was instantly washed away by this sentence. He couldn’t help but curl up the corners of his mouth. With his peach-blossom eyes, he raised an eyebrow and looked at the gentle man. Looking closely, this man was actually quite good-looking. Not a delicate youth, but with a different kind of charm. Especially those eyes, mild and harmless, just like a cute little puppy that would unconditionally trust humans no matter what happened.

Looking further down, his upper body couldn’t be clearly seen, but his proportions were very good. His straight legs stood slender and long. The highlight was his hands relaxing on both sides. The fingers were slender and jade-white in color, making people want to just play with them upon seeing them. Yan Xizhi felt that he had found the reason why Feng Xinyang chose He Qing.

That pervert just likes beautiful hands.

The more Yan Xizhi looked at the young doctor in front of him, the more satisfied he became, completely forgetting his previous disdain. The smile on his lips widened into the most handsome arc, like a peacock spreading its tail, displaying his charm to his heart’s content. “A-Qing, take me back.”

[Ding! Yan Xizhi favorability: 40. Please keep up the good work.]

————

While Yan Xizhi was hooking up with He Qing, Feng Xinyang was currently conflicted. He discovered that when Yan Xizhi expressed that he didn’t want to participate and share the little doctor, a subtle sense of secret joy actually welled up in his heart.

It was the secret joy of being able to monopolize He Qing. After Yan Xizhi left, the more Feng Xinyang thought about it, the more he felt that a beautiful collectible like He Qing was better kept for himself to enjoy alone.

Good thing Yan Xizhi didn’t take a liking to A-Qing. As for Zhao He’s side, he didn’t care about this; all he had to do was make a phone call. Anyway, Yan Xizhi was the one who gave up first, wasn’t he?

Feng Xinyang even somewhat regretted telling the other two about He Qing’s existence. For some reason, this time he didn’t want to share with anyone.

Fortunately, fortunately there was still room to turn things around.

Ning Feng glanced at his friend whose expression was constantly changing, and frowned somewhat uninterestingly. He had stayed in this hospital long enough, but still hadn’t figured out the reason why he could sleep peacefully here. The company’s affairs had piled up for a long time; he started contemplating the possibility of buying this hospital.

The door opened and He Qing walked in. Feng Xinyang’s eyes lit up. The corners of his mouth curled up, but before he had time to speak to him, behind him, Yan Xizhi, the smiling peacock, followed him in.

He very naturally rested his hand on the oblivious youth’s shoulder, speaking chummily: “I got lost, thank goodness A-Qing brought me back.”

From an angle that He Qing couldn’t see but Feng Xinyang could see perfectly clearly, the man behind him curled his lips ambiguously: “Tonight, let’s go out for a drink. Treat it as celebrating you and A-Qing getting together.”

Clearly seeing the familiar, brimming interest in his friend’s eyes, the smile on Feng Xinyang’s lips gradually vanished.
