Xi Cheng’s eyes reddened, and he muttered, “I want to know if she’s alright.”

Shi Nian felt like punching him awake, thinking, ‘This guys truly unbelievable!’

“Then come in and see her.” Shocked, Xi Cheng and Shi Nian looked toward the speaker from the stairwell and saw Ye Kun at the ward’s door.

“Come on in,” Ye Kun impassively said as he opened the door. Xi Cheng immediately strode in without hesitation, and Shi Nian quickly followed, worried that the two would fight in front of Fang Xi.

Fang Xi lay quietly on the hospital bed, the head of the bed elevated. She looked as if she were peacefully sleeping if you ignored the machines beeping around her and her too-pale face.

Xi Cheng couldn’t help but walk towards the bed. He stretched his hand out from afar, wanting to caress Fang Xi’s face. Ye Kun stopped him and warningly uttered, “Keep your hands to yourself! Don’t push your luck!”

Xi Cheng glared at him, wanting to barge right through. “Calm down!” Shi Nian scolded as he came forward and separated the two, pulling Xi Cheng some distance away from Ye Kun.

Xi Cheng glowered defiantly at Ye Kun. Ye Kun glanced back at him indifferently before turning to Fang Xi. His voice softened as he stated, “Don’t disturb her. She’s immersed in her own world right now; she’ll wake up when she has thought things through and wants to wake up. Only she knows who she loves. None of us have the right to interfere. You and I shouldn’t think overly much about it or hold any illusions.”

“We’ve been together for seven years!” Xi Cheng heavily enunciated each word.

Ye Kun didn’t even turn his head as he replied, “Seven years, huh? All the cells in the human body get replaced every seven years; you’re now a completely different person from who you were seven years ago, and it’s the same case for her. She gave you seven years, but you wasted your chance, and you choose now—when she’s in this state—to remember the seven years you spent together? Don’t you think it’s ridiculous?”

Ye Kun turned around and stared at Xi Cheng. “If she wakes up one day and still chooses you, then I’ll back out and never disturb you guys ever again! Is that okay, Xi Cheng? Is that fair enough for you?”

Xi Cheng gaped at Ye Kun in shock. The Ye Kun before him suddenly seemed unfamiliar. Even Shi Nian was surprised. Ye Kun gazed coldly at Xi Cheng and told him, “But before she wakes up, she’s still my fiancée because, on the day of the accident, she attended your mother’s birthday party as my fiancée, not your so-called lover!”

“And Xi Cheng, you have an obligation to clear her name! Of course, you’ve never done anything for her, and Fang Xi doesn’t care, so it’s up to you! Can you leave now that you’ve seen her?”

Xi Cheng opened his mouth, but there was nothing he could say. Shi Nian pulled him away, saying, “Xi Cheng, let’s go!”

Xi Cheng got pushed out of the ward by Shi Nian. He wanted to turn back for another look at Fang Xi, but Ye Kun had pulled the bed curtains close.

Xi Cheng sat on the bench by the door, covered his face with his hands, and buried it between his knees. Shi Nian stood before him and stared, not knowing whether to comfort him or blame him.

After a long while, Xi Cheng whispered, “My mother wants me and Lin Yu to get married as soon as possible.”

Shi Nian was stunned when he heard that and then became furious. “Then why did you come to provoke Ye Kun and Fang Xi?!”

Xi Cheng lifted his head and gave Shi Nian a lost look. “But I love Fang Xi. No matter who I marry, it won’t affect my love for Fang Xi!”

“Then why don’t you marry the one you love?” Shi Nian asked coldly. Xi Cheng stilled, speechless.

Shi Nian’s sympathy for him vanished. “Don’t play Romeo if you don’t have the ability to protect her. Xi Cheng, you’re not worthy of her!”

‘ You’re not even worthy of Lin Yu,’ Shi Nian wanted to say, but in the end, he swallowed the second half of his sentence for the sake of his many years of friendship with Xi Cheng.

Xi Cheng returned home drunk as a skunk. He heard the maid say they had guests as soon as he entered the house, so he bypassed the main house areas and went straight to his room.

Lin Yu rushed over when she heard he’d returned. She helped him change his clothes as she asked the staff to make a pot of strong tea.

“I want honey water!” Xi Cheng mumbled. Fang Xi would always prepare honey water and hangover soup for him. It had been a long time since he had had that sweet and sour hangover soup.

Lin Yu quickly ordered the staff to prepare honey water and complained, “What kind of social event did you have this time to come home so drunk? The Gu family is here today to discuss Xi Feng’s matter with Mom. They want to finalize Xi Feng and Gu Fei’s marriage as soon as possible. Our aunts are all here, too, but you won’t be able to go over and greet them in your current

state. ”

Xi Cheng gave her a short hum and fell asleep on the bed. Lin Yu had no choice but to help him take off his shoes and jacket. While she did so, Xi Cheng suddenly held her hand and muttered, “Fang Xi, I was wrong. Don’t go!”

Lin Yu froze and looked at Xi Cheng, who was sleeping soundly, feeling as if something was slowly tearing a hole in her heart..
