In the hospital corridor.
Yan Jin secretly chuckled inside.
To make Ji Baijian listen to him is probably nothing short of a daydream.
But as the saying goes, old ginger is hotter!
“By the way,” Yan Jin suddenly thought of something, “Baijian asked me not to tell you.”
Song Zhizhi’s brow wrinkled.
“It has to do with a man’s dignity, so you have to pretend you don’t know, otherwise it will put me in a difficult position.”
“I understand.” Song Zhizhi nodded like a pecking chicken.
“Alright, just pay more attention to his wounds and don’t let him stand up forcefully due to his leg injury.” Yan Jin instructed again.
“I got it.”
“I won’t be able to talk much with you for now, if anything happens to Baijian, take him straight to the hospital.”
Yan Jin said a few more words, then turned around and left.
Watching Yan Jin’S retreating figure, Song Zhizhi let out a sigh of relief.
So, Ji Baijian’s sudden decision to return home, was it because he knew about his condition…
She didn’t know who was the unluckier of the two.
She took Luo Xiaolang back home
To their new house.
Xiaolang didn’t follow Song Zhizhi, he went straight back to their apartment downstairs.
Song Zhizhi opened the door.
Right in the vast living room, she saw Yin Qin asleep on her couch, looking like a mess.
He was even snoring.
Song Zhizhi rarely bothered him. She walked to the second floor.
As she opened the door, she saw Ji Baijian sitting in the Sky Garden outside the bedroom.
She had no idea how Ji Baijian managed to get up there.
After giving it some thought, he was probably carried up by Yin Qin.
She walked over there.
Ji Baijian seemed to have heard something. He turned his head and gave Song Zhizhi a small smile as he saw her return.
No matter when she saw Ji Baijian, even when he was filled with scars, he was handsome!
Extremely handsome!
“Why were you discharged so early? I just went to the hospital.” Song Zhizhi complained.
“I don’t really like the smell of hospitals.” Ji Baijian said, “Besides, I sent you a message.”
“Sent me a message? I might not have noticed.” She had been discussing things with her father in the morning and hadn’t logged into WeChat.
While speaking, she took out her phone to check.
Indeed, there was an unread message: My lady, your husband has been discharged and is safe.
This guy, why was he so wordy.
Safe?
What was safe?
At that moment, she couldn’t help but look at Ji Baijian.
Ji Baijian frowned.
Being stared at so intensely would make anyone feel awkward.
He asked, “Is your period over?
Song Zhizhi abruptly shifted her gaze.
Just now… What was she thinking about just now?
Doctor Yan said not to let Ji Baijian know.
She quickly shook her head, “No, I don’t know if it’s because of the rain, but it’s been worse these past two days. It’S just that I have to use the bathroom now so I don’t show you any unpleasantly bloody scenes.”
After saying so, she turned around and left.
Ji Baijian watched as Song Zhizhi fled.
He lowered his gaze to his injured leg that was in a brace.
What is that taboo thing he was talking about?!
Well, that was just said in passing.
He took a deep breath and pushed his wheelchair into the bedroom.
When Song Zhizhi came out of the bathroom, she tried her best to look as natural as possible. She asked, “Did you have lunch yet?”
“No.”
“Should I order takeout?”
“No need. I asked the Ji Family to send us three meals a day.” He added, “They will also send one to Xiaolang. It should be here soon.”
“Alright.” Song Zhizhi nodded, “Then I’ll go change into some house clothes. Do you need to change?”
Song Zhizhi looked at Ji Baijian still in his hospital gown.
Although the VIP hospital gowns are high-end and luxurious, the large hospital logo was still a bit of an eyesore.
“No need.”
“Let me help you change. I don’t like hospital clothes.” Song Zhizhi said.
So Ji Baijian nodded.
It seemed like whatever she said, he would agree.
But why did he hide so much from her?
Song Zhizhi didn’t want to be entangled in that thought.
Since she has decided to be with Ji Baijian in this on-and-off way, she’ll just keep going.
She quickly changed into a set of house clothes and found him a set as well.
The necessities of life in the house were all prepared by Ji Baijian, so they all came as couple sets.
And then she was moved by these small actions.
She brought Ji Baijian’s clothes and returned to the bedroom.
Where is he?!
Song Zhizhi frowned.
Ji Baijian’s practically missing half a leg and he’s still bouncing around everywhere.
She looked around in the Sky Garden and downstairs. When she came back to the bedroom, she saw the closed bathroom door. She knocked on the door, “Ji Baijian.”
“Yes.”
“Are you using the toilet?”
“Can you do it yourself?”
“Yes.
“Ji Baijian.” Song Zhizhi’s voice was a bit louder. She clearly heard the sound of running water.
“Yes?”
“Open the door.”
“It’s not convenient.”
“Ji Baijian!” Song Zhizhi’s voice was even louder.
After a while, the door slowly opened.
Ji Baijian was sitting in a wheelchair, his clothes and trousers neatly arranged.
‘What are you doing?” Song Zhizhi asked, clearly not using the toilet.
“I was feeling uncomfortable and was planning to take a bath.” Ji Baijian admitted.
“Didn’t the doctor tell you not to get water on your wound?”
“I’ll be careful.”
Song Zhizhi rarely argued with Ji Baijian.
She walked into the bathroom and pushed Ji Baijian’s wheelchair.
“Madam, no need to trouble yourself…” “Shut up.” Song Zhizhi’s voice got a little louder. “I’m not used to it.”
“Don’t talk!” It was like she was very used to it.
The space was somewhat silent. “Madam.”
Song Zhizhi looked up.
“Thank you. ”
Ji Baijian, at any moment, could make her heartbeat wildly out of control!
Yin Qin was awakened by the doorbell.
With his messy hair, he looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings.
His face showed an obvious expression of “Who am I, Where am I?” It took him a while to realize he was in Ji Baijian’s new home.
This damn house was so large and yet there was only one bed.
When he was sleepy, he had no choice but to sleep on the couch. Just thinking about it made him angry.
He opened the front door.
Standing at the front door were two Ji Family servants. Of course, they recognized Yin Qin. One of them said, “Young Master Yin, we’re here to deliver lunch to our young master.” “Come in.”
“Alright.” The servant respectfully placed a lavish lunch onto the dining table. There was a vast variety of dishes, each one meticulously prepared.
Even Yin Qin felt hungry just looking at it.
After setting everything up, the servant said, “Young Master Yin, could you please call our young master. We’ll now deliver lunch to Miss Luo Xiaolang.” “You go do your things.” Yin Qin waved them off.
The servant respectfully left.
Yin Qin looked at the tempting food, but he still held back, quickly ascending the stairs to call Ji Baijian.
As soon as he arrived, he bumped into two people coming out of the bathroom.
The scene seemed… off.
Had these two been drinking?
Looking like this?
“Why don’t you knock before you come in?” Ji Baijian’s tone was rather harsh.
“I…” For a moment, Yin Qin felt somewhat embarrassed, then seemingly regaining confidence, “Wasn’t I worried about you being hungry? Your housekeeper brought lunch over, and I specifically called you for a meal. Besides, I didn’t know Song Zhizhi had returned. Even if I knew she was back, I wouldn’t know what you were doing…”
As he rambled on, he ended up smirking with a wicked smile.
The room seemed to be filled with… an unusual atmosphere.
But then.
A thought suddenly hit Yin Qin, and he exclaimed, “Uncle Yan forbade you from…”
“Shut up?” Ji Baijian suddenly yelled at him.
Yin Qin’s eyes widened in surprise.
Ji Baijian said, “Bring the lunch up here, it’s inconvenient for me to go down.”
“Oh.” Yin Qin nodded, turned to leave, then backed again glancing at Ji Baijian, “Hold on, man, stay steady!”
Ji Baijian’s face immediately darkened.
Song Zhizhi was also made to feel awkward by Yin Qin’s remarks.
Being in the bathroom was… well.
Even though Ji Baijian was the only one taking a shower, still, there were some… indescribable feelings.
She even thought of doctor Yan’s reminder at that moment.
Yin Qin was alluding to it just now, right?
Reflecting on it all, she felt so wronged.
Song Zhizhi bit her lip; she was the one who needed to stay calm.
She could not hurt Ji Baijian’s pride, not her pride.
A little while later.
Like a little bee, Yin Qin busily brought all the lunch up.
The three of them sat at a long table in the Sky Garden, surrounded by beautiful scenery, blue skies, white clouds, a gentle breeze, fragrant flowers, and such delicate lunch.
“Your soup is really delicious.” Yin Qin ate with great relish, commenting, “You see, there are medicinal ingredients in it, but the medicinal taste is not strong, instead, it’S very aromatic.”
“Auntie made it.” Ji Baijian said.
“Ji Baixin’s mom?” Yin Qin asked.
“Hmm.” Ji Baijian nodded.
“I’ve always felt that Ji Baixin’s mother treats you well.” As Yin Qin sipped the soup, he commented.
“Hmm.” Ji Baijian agreed.
Yin Qin finished one bowl and reached for more.
“You should drink less.” Song Zhizhi said, “This is for Baijian to nourish his body.”
Yin Qin pouted.
“It’S a pity you can’t marry Baixin, or you could have this every day.” Song Zhizhi refilled another bowl for Ji Baijian.
“Song Zhizhi, you’re just bringing up the sore subject, aren’t you?” Yin Qin was completely put off by her comments, “I can’t just sell myself for a bowl of soup.”
“To be sold, there must first be a willing buyer. Clearly, Baixin is not interested.”
“Damn it!” Yin Qin put down his bowl and chopsticks.
Song Zhizhi looked at him.
“I’m not eating anymore, I’m stuffed with anger.”
With that, he actually turned around and walked away.
Song Zhizhi watched Yin Qin’s retreating figure.
Had she really upset him?!
A pang of guilt welled up in her for some reason.
“Ignore him, he only leaves when he’S full.” Ji Baijian spoke plainly.
Song Zhizhi turned back.
“Yin Qin isn’t that petty.” Ji Baijian explained, “But his matter with Baixin, indeed needs a resolution.”
“So you’re not planning to play matchmaker for them anymore?” Song Zhizhi asked.
“Do you think they’re suitable for each other?” Ji Baijian countered.
“I don’t know. All I know is that Yin Qin is great, and treats Baixin well. It’d be a pity if Baixin lost him.”
“I used to think so too.” Ji Baijian said, “But Baixin truly doesn’t like Yin Qin. Love cannot be compelled; what’s destined won’t be forced.”
Ji Baijian’s words seemed somewhat strange.
It seemed as if he was sighing at something.
As if there were implications underlying his words.
And when he said that, he was staring at her.
It was as if he had a point to make.
Song Zhizhi furrowed her eyebrows.
Ji Baijian deftly moved on from the subject at that moment, “But it might be worth waiting a little longer.”
“Mm.” Song Zhizhi nodded.
Hopefully, Baixin could see Ying Qin’s goodness.
However, that would indeed be quite difficult.
When a woman has her own lover, it’s difficult for her to notice the goodness in others. Even if she does notice it, she would only feel burdened. It is neither moving nor something she would fall in love with.
For this lifetime, Yin Qin and Ji Baixin may never be meant for each other.
“Speaking of which, is your stepmother really that good to you?” Due to past experiences, it’S hard now to fully trust and not be biased.
“At least, she won’t harm me.” Ji Baijian laughed.
“That’s actually already enough.” Song Zhizhi murmured.
The two chatted and ate at a leisurely pace.
After lunch.
Song Zhizhi and Ji Baijian lay together on the bed.
Ji Baijian, this guy, didn’t look like he had much flesh, but he was quite heavy.
When she was helping him onto the bed, she almost got herself to death.
She was panting and lay next to him.
Maintaining a subtle distance from Ji Baijian.
“Ji Baijian, I want to ask you something.” Song Zhizhi steadied her breathing.
“Mm.” Ji Baijian nodded.
His eyes were fixed on her, as if… assessing her from top to bottom.
“Is Qin Jingxiang really remarkable?” Song Zhizhi asked.
In the end, from an interest standpoint, she had to understand this woman, and might even have to deal with her!
“In what regard?”
‘What do you think?” Song Zhizhi frowned.
Ji Baijian laughed.
This guy, what was he laughing at?
If he continued to look so handsome when laughing, she will…
She looked serious, “answer quickly!”
“She’s really good at computers.” Ji Baijian nodded.
Song Zhizhi asked, “So the so-called G-value index is an international standard ranking, yes?”
“This is a standard value within the hacker community. There is a competition within their circle every year, and then according to the status of this competition, they make an international ranking, selecting the champions of the year.” Ji Baijian explained.
“So, the IT gurus in our country, are really not so good in the hacker world.” She had seen on her father’s computer that the last G value of our country ranked 23rd worldwide, and only eight made it to the top 100.
This, is a completely hopeless situation.
She compared it with Y Country, where five out of the top ten spots are occupied, making us incomparable.
“Are you asking about Qin Jingxiang’s ranking?” Ji Baijian asked, looking at Song Zhizhi, who was at her wits’ end.
“Yes.” Song Zhizhi nodded.
She had checked Qin Jingxiang’s information, but didn’t see this index on her profile.
So, she didn’t know how good she really was?
But judging from her performance in M country and Ji Baijian’s recognition of her abilities, she figured she must not be bad.
Perhaps she just wasn’t interested in joining such competitions. “You can look up this person, SWT.”
“SWT!” Song Zhizhi was a bit excited, “Is that Qin Jingxiang?”
Song Zhizhi felt a twinge in her heart.
Don’t ask her how she knew that name. Today, because she saw the G value index on many profiles, she went through the so-called G leaderboard, and saw the big English letters “SWT” shining in first place.
“Really good” at computers, as Ji Baijian put it, was clearly an understatement!
“How did you know SWT is Qin Jingxiang? I thought you said you didn’t have much information on her?”
“Yin Qin and I also dabble a bit in computers, but our skills are not good. Once, we inadvertently participated in such a hacker competition. I don’t know how Yin Qin buddied up with Qin Jingxiang. Probably because she was number one and he wanted to up his game, which he always finds frustrating.” Ji Baijian nonchalantly described, “As a result, we found out that Qin Jingxiang happened to be from our school, and so we got acquainted.”
“You and Yin Qin dabble a bit?” Song Zhizhi raised her eyebrows, “From what I know, this hacker competition isn’t open for just anyone to join, it’s only by invitation. Those who get invited have some achievements.”
“Ordinary people surely can’t compete. But in the realm of hackers, it’s not worth mentioning.”
Some people sure have a way of subtly praising themselves.
Song Zhizhi puckered her mouth.
She said, “So in other words, if Qin Jingxiang joins this time’s commercial management IT project, our odds of winning would greatly increase.”
“You can interpret it that way. But it doesn’t mean she’ll join.” Ji Baijian threw a bucket of cold water. “If she’s helping her country, she wouldn’t be that selfish, right?” Song Zhizhi looked at Ji Baijian.
Ji Baijian just smiled but didn’t reply.
Song Zhizhi understood what Ji Baijian meant.
If the person in charge of this project were someone else, someone who has no connection to her, Song Zhizhi, maybe Qin Jingxiang would join. But the problem now is that the project leader is her father.
Moreover, it’S important to say that Qin Jingxiang’s father and her father are competitors. It seems that the likelihood of Qin Jingxiang participating is almost zero.
She looked at Ji Baijian.
Ji Baijian furrowed his eyebrows, “I will not sell my charm!”
