Gu lu, gu lu!

Pei Ge was daydreaming while watching the soup boil. The blue flames of the stove warmed the small pot continuously.

Through the transparent lid, she easily saw the color of the soup in the pot gradually change from transparent to milky white.

The air in the kitchen slowly filled with the aroma of the fish soup.

Zhang Manhua caught a whiff of this aroma from the living room, walked into the kitchen, and found her daughter dazedly standing in one spot. She laughed and said, You lass, dont you usually hate cooking? Why do you insist on cooking this yourself, then?

This soup was not easy to make as it required cleaning the fish and preparing the many ingredients.

Thus, she found it strange that her daughter, who usually hated such taxing activities, was willing to go through the trouble today.

Zhang Manhuas voice pulled Pei Ge out of her anxious thoughts about Ji Ziming.

Mom, this person is injured and in the hospital because of me; I have to express my sincerity through this, she answered softly, her eyes expressing her worry.

Zhang Manhua saw her daughters current state and asked curiously, Why would it be because of you?

Oh, yesterday, on the way home, there was a little accident. Pei Ge was afraid that Zhang Manhua would worry, so she did not tell her about the close shave she had had yesterday.

What accident involving you caused that person to be in the hospital? Although Pei Ge had not said it aloud, Zhang Manhua had already guessed that this accident involving her daughter was not a small matter.

Its nothing. Alright, Mom, Im boiling the soup now, dont disturb me. As she said this, Pei Ge stretched her hand to lower the fire.

Zhang Manhua wanted very much to ask Pei Ge whether the friend who was in the hospital was a man or woman, but she saw how serious her daughter was at boiling the soup.

Time passed by and the aromatic smell of the fish grew stronger.

Pak!

Pei Ge finally turned off the fire of the stove.

She lifted the pot of soup, which had been boiled for three whole hours, and poured it into a thermos flask that she had prepared earlier.

After doing all these, she hesitated for a long while and was about to call Qin Qitong to ask if she could drop by the hospital now when the latter called her.

Sister Pei Ge, you can come over now. My auntie and uncle have just left! Now, its just the nurse! You hurry over!

Pei Ges mouth curled into a smile at Qin Qitong words and she swiftly replied, Alright, Ill head over now.

Hanging up the phone, she took her handbag and the thermos flask and informed Zhang Manhua of her leaving for the hospital.

Compared to the night sky earlier, it was much darker now. The buses that drove by this neighborhood already had their last trip of the day hours ago.

Since she was in a neighborhood that was relatively isolated, taxis hardly drove in and the residents mostly relied on buses to travel about.

Pei Ge carried the flask and walked for a long while before she managed to flag down a taxi.

Sir, bring me to the capitals hospital.

Alright.

The taxi sped toward the hospital Ji Ziming was at, and as she looked at the passing scenery through the taxi window, her heart began to worry again.

I wonder how he is. Although it was determined to be a minor concussion by the doctor, it is still a brain injury.

These thoughts accompanied her all the way to the hospital.

The taxi drove for a long while and eventually arrived at the capitals hospital.

After paying a huge sum for the taxi fare, she rushed toward the wards location Qin Qitong had told her earlier.

Ding!The moment the lift doors parted open, she was met with the sight of Qin Qitong waiting by the lobby.

Sister Pei Ge! Qin Qitong greeted when she saw her come out of the elevator and said with a grin, You finally arrived! Any later and I will have left!

Sorry, my house is quite a distance away, she apologized.

Its alright. Lets go! Ill bring you to see my cousin, Qin Qitong said. She was about to reach for Pei Ges wrist when she saw the thermos flask in her hand.

Yi! Sister Pei Ge, why did you bring food? Qin Qitong looked curiously at the flask in her hand.

Oh, I boiled some fish soup. Pei Ge smiled and explained, I didnt know what to buy for CEO Ji, so I just boiled him a pot of fish soup.

Sister Pei Ge, actually, you coming here is already enough, Qin Qitong said as she brought her to the VIP ward that Ji Ziming was staying.

Walking down the clean and quiet hospital hallway, her heart began to feel nervous when she saw that she was drawing closer to Ji Zimings room.

What should I say when I see him later?

Sister Pei Ge, we are here! Qin Qitong pushed open the wards wooden door, turned over to look at her, and saw her looking all nervous.

Oh, oh, alright. Pei Ge nodded and followed after Qin Qitong. She changed into a pair of indoor slippers before entering the ward.

Saying that this was a hospital ward would almost be hard to believe.

This was nothing like a hospital ward. Be it the decoration or the ambiance, the ward looked very much like a bachelor pad.

Pei Ge stepped onto the smooth wooden floor. The simple yet elegant decoration of the ward helped calm her nerves down.

Brother Ji, guess who came to see you! Before she saw Ji Ziming, Qin Qitong already announced this loudly.

The person in the room was obviously not interested in playing the guessing game and, therefore, did not deign to reply.

Qie! What a boring response. Not cooperative at all! Qin Qitong pouted and took big strides over.

This turn brought them past a wall and allowed Pei Ge to see Ji Ziming who was sitting upright on the bed in a white hospital gown and reading a book.

Aiya, Brother Ji! The doctor said that you should rest and not do anything that would stress your brain! When she saw her cousin reading a book, Qin Qitong hurried over to take it away.

Pei Ge inexplicably found this scene quite hilarious.

The corners of her mouth had just curled up slightly when she felt someones eyes on her.

Meeting that icy cold gaze, she could not help but feel nervous again.

Why are you here?
