"Okay, then I’ll take the person away." The people from the Huo Family were well trained and left the hospital room swiftly.
Tang Wan was holding a stack of docunts, unable to suppress a laugh, "How co Big Brother Huo..."
She wasn’t the type with thick skin either; having eight well-built, decent-looking n staring at you was truly... an indescribable feeling.
Ruan ngxi had joked before that she wanted to be embraced by a rank of strong n to pick and choose from; even she would feel timid if she encountered this scene.
Jiang Jinsang took the docunts from her hands and leisurely flipped through them, finding them detailed down to the ho addresses and contact information.
"Which one do you like?" he asked nonchalantly, but his heart secretly started to pound.
Those n were muscular, while he was slender—not the sa type at all. He frowned, wondering...
Would Tang Wan be interested in that kind of guy?
But Tang Wan quickly picked up on the hint of jealousy. She propped herself up with her elbow on the hospital bed, leaning in close, almost bumping into his face, her breath clearly felt.
Her fingers pinching the docunts tightened slightly.
"You were looking at the docunts quite intently just now," she said with a tangibly sour tone.
"If I’m not looking at the docunts, should I have stared at those eight n instead?" Those eight n stared at her until she had nowhere else to cast her uneasy gaze but on the docunts.
Jiang Jinsang was well aware of her discomfort and chuckled softly, eting her eyes.
They were so close that if either one of them moved slightly forward, they could easily touch each other’s lips.
"You could look at ," he said in a voice deliberately hushed and unexpectedly seductive.
Tang Wan reached out, grabbed his collar, and pulled him closer, initiating the move...
Right now, in the hospital, she dared not go too far, making her move gentle and devout.
"You’re asking which one I like..." Her voice was warm and soft, brushing against his lips as if to lt him, "I like..."
"I like you."
Jiang Jinsang narrowed his eyes and reached to cradle the back of her head, deepening their kiss.
It wasn’t until they heard soone moving outside that they finally separated, and Jiang Jinsang’s originally neat patient uniform had been rumpled by Tang Wan’s hands.
...
Qi Zeyan and Ruan ngxi, who were out on business, happened to pass by the hospital and decided to drop in on a whim, buying a fruit basket and a bunch of bananas from a fruit shop outside the hospital.
"Business has been tough lately, it’s getting harder and harder to earn money..." Qi Zeyan often ca by and didn’t stand on ceremony, finding a place to sit down without being asked.
"What’s wrong? Who else has been giving you a hard ti?" Jiang Jinsang straightened out his clothes with ease.
His calmness led Qi Zeyan to believe the disheveled state of his clothes was accidental, completely missing the other possible reason.
He nonchalantly tossed the docunts of muscular n into the trash bin.
"What’s that?" Qi Zeyan raised an eyebrow.
"Trash."
"You guys chat; I’ll go get the clothes that were drying today." Tang Wan coughed and made her way outside—the hospital had a designated area for drying clothes, available anyti the sun was out.
"I’ll go with you," Ruan ngxi said, feeling awkward about staying.
In the sparsely populated laundry area, Ruan ngxi asked in a low voice, "Wanwan, tell the truth, is Fifth Master not capable in that departnt?"
"Who’s been spouting nonsense to you now?"
"On the way to the hospital room, we overheard two nurses talking about him finding several strong n for you to choose from."
"It wasn’t Fifth Brother who found them; it was Big Brother Huo, he..."
"Fifth Master asked a friend to find them?"
"..."
Tang Wan finally understood the saying "a lie repeated a thousand tis becos the truth"—rumors started just like this.

Four days later
Jiang Jinsang’s surgery was scheduled for 8:30 a.m. and was expected to last eight hours. Before the operation, everyone arrived one after another, even the Tang Family sent a representative, with Tang Yunxian coming to express her well-wishes.
The old lady: "Xiaowu, don’t be afraid, you have to believe in the doctors, we will definitely get better."
Fan Mingyu: "If you pull through this ti, everything will be fine."
Jiang Zhenhuan and Jiang Yanting both had stone-faced expressions, but Jiangjiang had created a drawing for him...
Honestly, with a red face, black hair, green clothes, and blue trousers, he really couldn’t tell it was him—most importantly, he didn’t draw either of his arms.
"Uncle, co on." Taotao spoke with a childlike lilt.
Jiang Chengsi stood to one side, "He’s always been tough. He survived so many tis as a child, he’ll definitely be fine this ti too..."
"And he’s got younger siblings waiting for him."
Today, he wasn’t in the mood for jest or playing dumb.
"Huo Big Brother didn’t co today?" Tang Wan looked around at the crowd. Everyone was present, even Shen Zhixian and the Xie siblings, but the person who usually ca most frequently was conspicuously absent.
"That person doesn’t like crowds. Maybe he knew there would be a lot of people today and decided not to co." Jiang Chengsi said with a smile.
Zhou Zhongqing had considered many plans and ultimately chosen the one he believed to be the best. Yet, the risk of the surgery was still significant, and it could very well cost a life. Jiang Zhenhuan was the one who had signed the consent form.
Zhou Zhongqing had gone over the risks of the surgery with everyone in advance, trying to explain in the simplest and most understandable way possible. Summing it up...
The risks were significant.
Jiang Chengsi didn’t like such scenes that felt like preludes to life-or-death separations. After glancing at Jiang Jinsang, he decided to leave early and happened upon an acquaintance just around the corner near the elevator...
"Brother?"
Jiang Shiyi was leaning against the wall, glancing at him, "Has he gone into the operating room yet?"
"Not yet. Since you’re here, want to go in and see him?"
Ever since he had confronted Jiang Zhaolin, Jiang Chengsi had started to see Jiang Shiyi in a new light. But the distance between them had grown over ti, and even encountering a brother could feel awkward and estranged.
"No need, there’ll be plenty of chances to see him later."
"Then are you leaving? Together?" Jiang Chengsi was, after all, the younger brother, and in front of his own sibling, he couldn’t help but feel sowhat restrained.
For so reason, the elevator should have been busy at this ti of day, but today, oddly, it was just the two of them...
"You used to like hanging around a lot. Now, when you’re with , you have nothing to say?"
Jiang Chengsi used to be sunny and outgoing, and he had always gotten along very well with his brothers.
"It’s not..." He cleared his throat softly, not sure what to suddenly say.
"Then talk."
"..." Jiang Chengsi fell silent for two seconds, "Have you eaten?"
...
After an awkward silence so long that Jiang Chengsi could almost feel a row of crows flying over his head, Jiang Shiyi looked at him for a couple of seconds and then broke into a smile, "No wonder you’ve never managed to get a girlfriend; your way of starting a conversation is outdated, too low."
Jiang Chengsi was taken aback...
Still the sa authentic brother.

Hexi Huo Family
The man stood on the range, having just emptied a magazine. He lifted his hand to remove his earmuffs, reached out deftly, unloaded the magazine and reloaded the bullets.
"Master Five will be going into the operating room soon, are you really not going to go and see?" A mber of the Huo Family approached and asked softly,
The risk was said to be high; today might be the last chance to see him...
"Mm." He grunted, skillfully reloading and chambering a round.
"Everyone went, even Miss Tang’s father made a special trip from Pingjiang."
During the ti Jiang Jinsang was hospitalized, he frequently visited the hospital. They had followed him long enough to know that despite his seemingly cold heart, he was a person who placed great value on his emotions.
"Have you found all the books I asked you to look for?"
At tis like this, you still have the mood to look for books.
"All found."
"Pack them. Once he cos out of the operating room, I’ll go see him."
He believed...
He would definitely make it through this challenge.
Thus, all the way until Jiang Jinsang entered the operating room, he didn’t see that soone in person, but he received a supportive text ssage that still bore his signature conciseness:
[Co on!]
