Wang Wen was taken aback.What is this guy’s relationship with Sang Yu? He even met her mother?
Sang Yu had never spoken about her past for as long as Wang Wen had known her. Every time he asked, she would simply say that she no longer had any living relatives before brushing it off. She never even mentioned how she lost them, and she never shared anything specific.
Looks like Shen Peichuan knows all about her past.Still, they may be close, but they are not of the same age group. I’m probably overthinking about their relationship. Besides, if the guy knew Sang Yu’s mother, then he must know a lot about her past as well. I may be able to learn more from him.
“You’re Sang Yu’s friend, so it is understandable that you’d want to see how she’s doing. However, the doctor asked you to stay put for forty-eight hours, so you shouldn’t leave just yet,” said Wang Wen.
“I’m fine. As I said, I know what my body can handle,” replied Shen Peichuan. He never intended to ask Sang Yu about her take on the matter before he made a decision.
Sang Yu turned to Wang Wen, then to Shen Peichuan. “What are you boys doing?” asked Sang Yu.
“He’s your friend. There’s nothing wrong with him checking your place out and making sure you’re alright,” answered Wang Wen.
“He is my friend, but…” Sang Yu trailed off. It was obvious that she didn’t want Shen Peichuan to barge into her life again.I don’t want to go through that again. It’s awkward enough as it is.
Sang Yu wouldn’t mind if she had never written that letter and confessed her love for him. Unfortunately, she did, and they were stuck in an awkward situation.How am I going to face him?
“What? Am I not allowed to go check your place out? Take me over,” insisted Shen Peichuan while standing up.
Sang Yu didn’t move a muscle, so Wang Wen nudged her and urged, “Let’s go.”
Sang Yu was reluctant. She turned to Shen Peichuan and pointed out, “You are not family, and you have no right to check out my living condition. Besides, don’t use my late mother as an excuse. She’s gone, so you no longer need to keep your promise to her. Also, you should head back immediately if you’re fine. There are many who must be worried sick about you.”
After saying her piece, she tugged at Wang Wen’s hand and added, “Let’s go.”
Wang Wen’s mind blew when he saw her holding his hand. He forgot all about how he should react or if he should move away like a gentleman. His heart was thumping like mad.
In the meantime, Shen Peichuan just stood there in shock. It seemed that he never expected Sang Yu to turn him down like that.
He watched as she disappeared behind the door, and for a moment there, he lost sight of what he should do or where he should go.
Sang Yu let Wang Wen go after they walked out the door. She walked ahead while Wang Wen stared at the hand that was holding hers a moment ago. He clutched his fist with determination burning in his eyes before chasing after her. “Sang Yu, why do you hate him so much?” asked Wang Wen.
Sang Yu paused and turned around. “I never said I hate him,” refuted Sang Yu.
“If you don’t, why did you abandon him in the hospital before he recovered?” asked Wang Wen.
Sang Yu was shocked back to her senses.He’s right! Shen Peichuan hasn’t recovered. How can I leave him all alone in there?
Sang Yu then headed towards the hospital again. Wang Wen followed closely behind before adding, “Sang Yu, are you heading back in?”
Wang Wen suddenly found himself conflicted. On one hand, he wanted to keep Shen Peichuan around to learn more about Sang Yu’s past. On the other, he didn’t want Sang Yu to spend too much time with Shen Peichuan.
“I know the guy after all, so it’s not right for me to leave him all alone in there. I’ll walk him out after he recovers,” explained Sang Yu. She finally thought things through, so her footsteps were faster.
However, the bed was empty when they returned.He left?
“The doctor was just here to do his rounds. Your friend followed the doctor to the office,” shared the patient who was staying on the bed beside Shen Peichuan’s.
Sang Yu nodded politely before leaving the room and heading towards the doctor’s office.
When she got close, she heard the doctor saying, “Your head is injured. We examined your wounds, and it looks like it is just a flesh wound, but it is also possible that you have a concussion. You should go to a hospital with better facilities to undergo some more tests. Do you feel any discomfort?”
Shen Peichuan answered, “No.”
“We can sign you off if you really are that eager to leave the hospital. You just have to sign the disclaimer form for that. However, you must go to the hospital to check everything out if you have a headache, get drowsy, or feeling nauseous,” advised the doctor.
“Okay, got it,” replied Shen Peichuan.
“Then you may leave to sign the papers,” informed the doctor. Shen Peichuan murmured a simple thank-you before walking out of the office.
Coming out, he caught Sang Yu eavesdropping by the door and was surprised. “Sang Yu,” greeted Shen Peichuan.
Sang Yu grinned and put on a nonchalant expression before saying, “We’re friends, after all, so I feel guilty about leaving you in the hospital while you’re still sick. If you’re leaving the hospital, then let me help you with the paperwork. Wait here. I’ll be back soon.”
After saying her piece, Sang Yu turned around and walked towards the reception.
Shen Peichuan stared at Sang Yu’s back and was momentarily stunned. Right then, Wang Wen walked over and blocked Shen Peichuan’s line of sight. “Hello, what’s your name?” asked Wang Wen.
Wang Wen’s words dragged Shen Peichuan back from his daydream. The latter’s voice was calm when he said, “Shen Peichuan.”
“Yo, Mr. Shen, can I ask you a question?” asked Wang Wen again.
Shen Peichuan frowned. He didn’t like how Wang Wen spoke like the two of them knew each other well, but he didn’t complain. He simply said, “Ask away.”
Wang Wen deliberated for a while before voicing out, “What is your relationship with Sang Yu? Are the two of you close? You seem to know a lot about her past. Will you share them with me? Why doesn’t she have any relative or family?”
Shen Peichuan was surprised to hear that question. He narrowed his eyes and said, “You don’t know?”Did I overthink everything? Is this not her boyfriend?
“I love her,” confessed Wang Wen boldly. He never intended to keep that a secret.
