“Everyone, please give us some space!”
“Hurry up!”
Qi Yan frowned as he watched the ambulance cot disappear behind the elevator.
“Qian Qian?” Cen Baihe noticed that Qi Yan’s expression didn’t look right.
“I just saw that person yesterday,” Qi Yan sighed, “She was fine then.”
Cen Baihe patted his shoulder silently, “Let’s go to treat your wound first.”
Qi Yan was scolded by the doctor. Facing the doctor’s stern eyes, Qi Yan could listen to his lecture.
“The inflammation of the wound is not too serious. Fortunately, you came in time. If left for too long, we’d have to remove the dead skin, and then re-suture it,” the doctor said, “You young people also don’t take your body seriously. You should go to bed early and keep exercising. Health is the most important.”
Qi Yan nodded obediently. The doctor saw that Qi Yan was so obedient, so he didn’t go on. After helping him with the wound, he prescribed an oral anti-inflammatory drug, “Go to the pharmacy downstairs to get the medicine.”
“Thank you doctor.” Qi Yan walked out of the doctor’s office with a long sigh of relief.
Seeing him like this, Cen Baihe couldn’t help but be amused, “Now you’re afraid?”
Qi Yan glared at him, “Are we still brothers? It’s fine that you don’t feel sympathy, but you even laugh at me.”
“Who said I don’t sympathize with you, I do,” Cen Baihe coughed dryly, “I’ll have someone deliver the medicine on this list to you, you don’t have to go line up.” When he went upstairs just now, he saw that there was a long queue.
“Okay,” Qi Yan put the medicine list in Cen Baihe’s hand. When the two were about to enter the elevator, an old lady stopped him.
“Qi Yan.”
“Aunt Hao, why are you here?” Qi Yan didn’t expect to meet the old lady who competed with him yesterday, because when Aunt Wang told him her name which sounded so unique, he remembered it at once.
As soon as Hao Meili heard Qi Yan’s name, she knew that Wang Jiaojiao must have told the young man her name, “Someone in our community has been sent to the hospital. As a representative of the owners’ committee, I came to see her.”
Qi Yan thought for a while, “A very beautiful young woman?”
“You know her?” Hao Meili raised her brows in surprise. “She is seriously injured and in a coma. The cause of her injury is unknown. Now the police are investigating the case.” After saying this, she noticed Cen Baihe next to Qi Yan, and was shocked. She took a deep breath and wondered who this person, who had such good energy around him, was.
She glanced at Cen Baihe’s face several times before she said with a smile, “What a handsome young man.”
Qi Yan laughed when he heard that. Aunt Hao and Aunt Wang were indeed good friends. They even said the same thing about Cen Baihe, “Yeah, birds of a feather flock together. I am so handsome, how can my friends not be?”
Hao Meili laughed a few times, but didn’t refute Qi Yan’s words. She glanced at his hand, “Blessed by misfortune, it’s not bad to get some new blood after an injury.”
After saying goodbye to Aunt Wang, Qi Yan and Cen Baihe walked into the elevator. Cen Baihe asked, “That old lady is also from your community?” He always felt that the people in Qiyan’s community were very different from others, but he couldn’t pinpoint what the difference was.
Qi Yan shook his head. “She’s from the same area, but not the same community.” There were other people in the elevator, and Qi Yan didn’t tell him Hao Meili’s true identity.
The elevator stopped on the sixth floor, and soon a couple came out holding a baby. The child was crying so badly. While coaxing the child, the mother took out a milk bottle filled from the bag in the man’s hand.
There were many people in the elevator. When the bottle was taken out, it accidentally touched Qi Yan’s arm. Qi Yan realized that the milk was cold.
The baby didn’t seem to want the bottle. Although everyone in the elevator didn’t like to hear the cry of babies, they were considerate, so no one said anything. The parents were the ones who looked impatient.
“Miss, he is crying so badly, so don’t feed him anymore. What if he choked?” Qi Yan glanced at the child’s mother’s haggard face and the child’s tender face. The couple had monolids, but they gave birth to a double-eyelid child? What were the odds? When he grew up, he should buy a dozen lottery tickets to try his luck.
“Thanks.” The eldest sister’s hand froze while holding the baby bottle and she put it back into the man’s hand, and continued to coax the baby.
“Let me try,” Qi Yan took the child in her hand while she was not paying attention, “I’m the best at coaxing children.”
Qi Yan’s action was too abrupt, and everyone in the elevator began to suspect that he was a kidnapper. Two young people even stood at the elevator door, ready to stop Qi Yan at any time.
Cen Baihe didn’t expect Qian Qian to do this suddenly, but based on what he knew about Qi Yan, he must have his reasons. He reached out and stepped in front of Qi Yan, preventing the couple from taking the child away.
It’s strange to see that the child calmed down after being held by Qi Yan. In just half a minute, the crying voice gradually subsided, and he turned around with his big black eyes and seemed to be very curious about the surrounding environment.
In the confined space of the elevator, everyone felt that something was wrong with this situation. Some felt that Qi Yan was weird, and some felt that the couple was, but everyone became more alert.
The elevator descended to the first floor and the moment the elevator door opened, the couple wanted to reach out to grab the child in Qi Yan’s hand, but Cen Baihe pushed them away. Taking advantage of this moment, Qi Yan shouted, “They are not the parents of the child, hurry up and call the police.”
There were many people in the lobby on the first floor, some came to register, and some came to pay the hospital fee. When they heard Qi Yan’s cry, many people looked at Qi Yan. When the two nurses at the information desk heard this, their expressions changed and they rushed towards the elevator.
“No one is allowed to leave!”
“The child is handed over to the hospital staff! Call the police!”
Someone in the crowd called out twice, and instantly surrounded Qi Yan, Cen Baihe, and the haggard-looking couple, making it hard for them to leave.
The couple’s faces turned pale. They never thought that such an accident would happen. They looked at each other and tried to run away without anyone noticing, but two young men blocked their way.
“You…what do you want?”
“You don’t even want your child anymore?” The two young people were not stupid. The couple’s reaction made it clear that they were guilty.
The situation was quickly resolved when someone called the police saying their child was lost in the hospital.
The couple who kidnapped the child were taken away by the police. Qi Yan kept his anonymity and sneaked away from the crowd. Soon he appeared on a local news program again, and the title was “Witty Boy Fights Against Traffickers”. The host described the incident in an exaggerated tone. Qi Yan’s face turned red when he heard it, but the Cen family watched it with relish. Even Tuan Tuan listened quietly like a little adult.
“Qi Yan, do you think you are a lucky star? As long as you show up, any disaster will be solved in advance.” After watching the news, Third Master Cen thought about his car accident and what happened at Tuan Tuan’s school. He couldn’t help but say, “You are a god in your last life, right?”
“Yeah,” Qi Yan nodded, “I did a good job in my past life, the Jade Emperor gave me some time off and asked me to come to this world for vacation.”
“Then will you go back?” Tuan Tuan nervously tugged at Qi Yan, “Uncle Qi, don’t go back, otherwise my fifth uncle and I will be very sad.”
“Well, as long as Tuan Tuan eats and sleeps on time, I won’t go back.” Qi Yan did not mind deceiving children.
“Really?” Tuan Tuan widened her eyes and stretched out her little finger, “Then we have to pinky promise.”
“Okay.” Qi Yan made a serious promise with Tuan Tuan. His acting skills were superb. It was a pity that he didn’t win the Oscars.
First Master Cen was amused and annoyed. His cute little girl was now talking about Uncle Qi all day long, and did not care about her father anymore.
After eating, Qi Yan couldn’t sleep, so he walked to the balcony to look at the stars outside. The more he looked, the more he felt that the autumn moon was the most beautiful and brightest. The moonlight on him was very comfortable, even strangely warm.
“Qian Qian,” Cen Baihe was also standing on the balcony, and when he saw Qi Yan come out, a smile appeared on his expressionless face, “It’s so late and you haven’t slept yet?”
“You haven’t slept either,” Qi Yan leaned on the balcony fence, tilted his head to look at Cen Baihe in dark pajamas, and smiled at him, revealing his deep dimples, “Can’t you sleep?”
“Mm,” the two of them were separated by a room, but Cen Baihe felt an unprecedented peace in his heart, “how about you, why can’t you sleep?”
“I was thinking about that woman today.”
The smile on Cen Baihe’s face was a little stiff, “What about her?”
“I’m thinking about the reason for her injury,” Qi Yan sighed. “She was sent to the hospital for rescue, but her husband, who was known to be a good husband, didn’t show up. Her husband has a dog outside.”
“A dog?”
“He’s cheating on her,” Qi Yan shook his head, “so no matter how beautiful a relationship was in the beginning, they may fade in the end. Choosing to break up peacefully is the best ending. The most embarrassing ending is betrayal.”
Maybe the couple really loved each other, but it could not withstand time. The woman thought they were still in love, but the man had betrayed this relationship.
“Do you…not believe in love?” Cen Baihe was silent for a long time, and finally asked the question he wanted to ask.
For a while, there was silence between them.
