She had only been separated from Shen Hanyu for a few days, but at this moment, when their eyes met, she felt a mix of emotions.
There were too many things she wanted to say to him, but now was not the time to talk.
“1 can’t accompany you to the hospital tomorrow.”
Shen Hanyu said in a low voice, ‘Til ask Jian Zheng to arrange everything.”
Sang Qianqian’s nose was a little sore. “Mmm, be careful.”
He looked at her deeply.
There were elders and juniors around him. With his personality, he wouldn’t be overly intimate with her in front of the others.
But at this moment, he reached out and pulled her into his arms, hugging her tightly.
His hoarse voice fell into Sang Qianqian’s ears as he said, “1’11 be back soon.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he had already let go of her and strode away.
Zhen Zhu couldn’t hold it in anymore. “Cousin, what about what you promised me?”
Shen Hanyu did not even turn his head. “I won’t go back on my word. Just wait patiently for two days.”
The results of this investigation were really unexpected.
Perhaps even Zhen Yiping was kept in the dark about the truth.
However, he needed to talk to Zhen Yiping first before he could tell Zhen Zhu. Otherwise, there would definitely be trouble.
Unfortunately, now wasn’t the time to talk about this.
As he watched Shen Hanyu leave, Zhen Yiping’s breath that he had been holding up suddenly relaxed. He was so weak that he could barely stand.
Fortunately, the Zhen family’s chauffeur had already arrived. The chauffeur quickly helped him into the car and sent him to the hospital.
Zhen Yiping fainted from pain on the way there. When he reached the hospital, he barely woke up for a while, but then he fell unconscious again.
Old Lady Zhen insisted on waiting at the hospital until Zhen Yiping came out of the Emergency Room. The doctor said that he was out of danger, so Sang Qianqian sent the old lady back to the Zhen family’s residence.
Afraid that something would happen to her, Sang Qianqian stayed at the Zhen family’s house that night.
The next morning, Jian Zheng came to pick her up on time. When she arrived at the hospital, Ruan Xiaoshuang and Xie Shi’an had already arrived.
Xie Shian finally rushed back home.
Firstly, Ruan Xiaoshuang’s surgery was a big deal. Secondly, the three paintings at the back of the album really made him suspicious, and Sang Qianqian obviously knew something. The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became. He was eager to know the reason.
The two of them sent Ruan Xiaoshuang into the operating room. Xie Shi’an then looked at Sang Qianqian and asked in a low voice, “What’s going on with those paintings?”
“Do you think Xiaodie was the one who made those drawings?” Sang Qianqian asked.
Xie Shi’an did not know how to answer this question.
That night, when he saw those paintings during the video call with her, his first reaction was to believe that these were definitely not Xiaodie’s drawings.
How could she have drawn it?
Xiaodie’s IQ.was only that of a child, but the two paintings had a clear theme to them. Moreover, the longing expressed in the sentence was also very clear. It could be seen that the person who made that drawing was very sane.
On the other hand, that last drawing was full of hostility, so how could it be from Xiaodie?
However, in the past two days, Shi’an had looked at the drawings dozens of times.
Especially the one where the girl was looking back at the boy.
The young girl’s eyes and brows were very similar to Xiaodie’s. As for the young man, although he only showed his side profile slightly, his figure was also blurred.
However, the more Xie Shi’an looked at him, the more he felt that the young man looked like Shao Jin.
Xie Shi’an’s conviction slowly wavered.
He remembered some old things that he had neglected.
At that time, Shao Jin had just returned from abroad. Once, he stood by the window upstairs and looked at the pigeons flying in the sky in a daze.
He suddenly asked Xie Shi’an, “Have you ever fed pigeons?”
Xie Shi’an shook his head, somewhat surprised by the question.
Shao Jin smiled, with a hint of nostalgia in his eyes, “Feeding pigeons is quite fun. Just imagine, pigeons in a square, hopping around you. Some of them even fly to your hands, body, and head to eat. The scene is quite fascinating.”
Xie Shi’an replied, “Sounds like you often feed them? Aren’t you supposed to accompany the Third Miss over there? Where did you find the time for such leisure?”
Shao Jin grinned and patted him on the shoulder. “Third Miss usually feeds them, so can’t I just join her as well?”
He chuckled and added, “One day, you should try it too. Who knows, you might end up loving it.”
Xie Shi’an looked at his back. It took him a while to understand that Shao Jin was talking about feeding the pigeons.
At that time, he felt that it was baffling, but now he realized that perhaps Shao Jin’s words had a deeper meaning.
The man was more resolute and decisive than him in handling matters.
He rarely revealed his true feelings, even to his childhood friend, Xie Shi’an.
But a few days before he decided to help Ruan Cheng escape, he came to see Xie Shi’an.
They wanted him to join their escape plan and leave together.
Not only did Xie Shi’an reject it, but he also disapproved of it. He thought that this was too risky and that if it failed, it would do no good to Ruan Cheng.
“I also know that this plan is very risky.”
Shao Jin continued, “But Master Cheng only has this chance. He can’t go to jail. His body can’t go to jail either.”
Therefore, even though he knew that this plan’s success rate was extremely low, he still had to accompany Ruan Cheng in his gamble.
He didn’t try to persuade Xie Shi’an, but he didn’t leave either. Instead, he sat down on the sofa and asked, “Do you have alcohol on you?”
Xie Shi’an took a can of beer from the fridge.
He drank silently as if he had a lot on his mind, but in the end, he didn’t say a word.
He only stood up after finishing the beer.
“It’s good that you aren’t participating in this plan.”
Shao Jin looked at him. “If anything happens to me and Master Cheng, please take good care of Third Miss.”
He laughed self-deprecatingly. “I originally promised Third Miss that 1 would go back immediately after the matter in the capital was over. But 1 don’t know if I still have a chance. If I go back on my word, please apologize to her on my behalf.”
At that time, Xie Shi’an didn’t think much about his words. After all, Shao Jin had accompanied Ruan Xiaodie for ten years abroad.
He had thought that Shao Jin was unable to let go of his responsibilities, but now that he thought about it, perhaps the man was just entrusting his last concern to him.
Shao Jin was only a few years older than Ruan Xiaodie. When he first went to her side, he was only sixteen years old.
Although Ruan Xiaodie had a problem with her intelligence, she had her own innocence and cuteness.
It wasn’t incomprehensible for a young man and woman to develop feelings for each other after spending so much time together.
Could it be that when Shao Jin returned to the country, Xiaodie had already recovered her consciousness, which was why she painted those two drawings filled with longing? And after he passed away, she was so angry that she made that black drawing?
However, why did she pretend to be an ignorant child in front of him? What did she want?

Xie Shi’an didn’t want to think about it anymore and closed his eyes. “I don’t know, Qianqian.”
Sang Qianqian didn’t say anything. She took out a prescription from her bag and said, “Xiaodie’s condition is recovering very well. In the next stage, there will be no need for acupuncture treatment. If she is willing, she could take these medicines.”
Xie Shi’an took the prescription. “This seems very different from the previous one.”
“Yes, she doesn’t have to eat the previous ones.”
Sang Qianqian said, “This medicine is used to nourish the lungs and body. After that, Xiaodie probably won’t need me anymore.”
Xie Shi’an’s fingers that were holding the prescription unconsciously tightened.. “So, you also think that Xiaodie…”
