In the blink of an eye, another week has passed.
After this period of treatnt, Ling Chen’s body has mostly recovered, but because the explosion burned a lot of his skin, he now has to be wrapped in bandages, so that no one can see his terrifying appearance. However, the fortunate thing is that possibly due to the Prajnaparamita Sutra of the building and his own genetic mutation, the areas that originally required skin graft surgery have grown new flesh, and it won’t be long before his looks are restored.
These days, Ling Gengqiu has been by Ling Chen’s side, as well as Zhu Qing, who is responsible for looking after Ling Chen’s diet.
After a week’s recovery, following the doctor’s diagnosis, Ling Chen moved out of the intensive care unit to live with Jiang Hao. The two brothers lie side by side on the sickbed, and can chat now and then, chew the fat, and don’t feel bored.
"Co, have so chicken soup. I made it with my own hands today, it’s very fresh." Jiang Hao’s girlfriend Liu Xin handed a bowl of chicken soup to Ling Chen, then personally fed Jiang Hao with a spoon, making Ling Chen next to him envious.
"I say, can’t you two be a bit more low-key?" Ling Chen said helplessly: "At least consider my feelings."
Jiang Hao grinned and said: "Chen, look at how you’re talking, we’re not showing off our love in front of you. Right, Xinxin?"
"Ling Chen is not getting any younger, is he? Why not find a girlfriend?"
"Ugh! I’m not as lucky as Jiang Hao to find a virtuous girlfriend like you." Saying this, Ling Chen glanced at Zhu Qing who was busy beside him, handed the chicken soup over, and said with a smile: "Lady Zhu, why don’t you feed ?"
Hearing this, Zhu Qing rolled her eyes at Ling Chen with displeasure, "You’re not without hands or feet."
Having been snubbed by Zhu Qing, Ling Chen couldn’t help but sigh, and drank the chicken soup in the bowl cleanly in one gulp.
"You guys rest well, I have class in the afternoon, I’ll co see you after work." Liu Xin said while tidying up the dishes.
"Xinxin, you don’t need to run over every day, it’s too tiring for you. Anyway, my injuries aren’t serious, after a few days of rest I can be discharged, you stay ho and have a good rest."
"That won’t do. Without by your side, how will you take care of yourself? All right! No more talking, I’m leaving now. Bye-bye!"
Watching Liu Xin leave, Ling Chen grinned and said: "Jiang Hao, you’re a lucky guy, don’t miss out on such a good woman."
"I know."
Not long after, two nurses ca in and helped Jiang Hao go outside. Jiang Hao’s leg is injured, although he’s mostly recovered, he still needs further physical therapy, requiring two hours of activity outside each day.
Watching Jiang Hao leave, Ling Chen also let Zhu Qing go rest, leaving only Ling Gengqiu in the ward.
"Jiang Hao’s girlfriend is nice, good for a lifeti," Ling Gengqiu said while peeling an apple.
"I think so too, actually I’m quite envious of them."
"What’s there to be envious of, your girlfriend is so pretty, and you have so many close female friends."
On hearing this, Ling Chen touched his nose, smiled bitterly and said: "Brother, actually I’m curious how you used to handle such complex relationships? You have so many won around you, do they all not know each other’s existence?"
"No." Ling Gengqiu shook his head and said: "On the contrary, not only do they know about each other’s existence, they all live together. In my ti, polygamy was common, so this phenonon wasn’t strange. However, I want to tell you, although the system allowed it, having so many won living in harmony is a very difficult thing."
Talking about won, Ling Gengqiu seed very proud and boastful, "Kid, I’m not bragging, when it cos to experience with won, ten of you wouldn’t compare to . Actually, I understand your confusion, because in this era the system lets you choose only one woman as a wife, and you must be loyal, avoiding extramarital affairs. However, a man’s wandering heart can’t be changed with the tis. Furthermore, the more outstanding a man is, the more won he has around him, just like you, besides your official girlfriend, you have many female friends with whom you’re very close. Actually, so won don’t care about a title, they care about how much you really care about her, you understand? If you’re willing to give up everything for a woman, as long as she truly loves you, even without a title, she’ll stay with you unwaveringly."
"In terms of emotions, won and n are actually very emotional creatures, few truly rational people exist. So my advice to you is, don’t care so much about rules, when with won let your heart guide you, don’t just avoid it. Like is like, why find excuses to hide it, repressing your feelings. As a man, be one who stands tall, takes responsibility, gives won a sense of security. Understand?"
After listening to Ling Gengqiu’s advice, Ling Chen nodded ambiguously.
"Yo! Just you two?" at this mont, the door of the ward was pushed open and Hu Fei walked in with a few bags of fruit.
"Why did you co today?"
"As a friend, can’t I co see you? Where’s Jiang Hao?"
"Went out for activity."
Hu Fei nodded, walked to the bedside on his own, put down the fruit, then took a laptop out of his backpack.
Seeing Hu Fei’s actions, Ling Chen imdiately realized his visit to the hospital might have an ulterior motive. Sure enough, as Hu Fei opened the laptop, he said: "There’s news from Beijing, we found Zhu Hong’s whereabouts."
As the screen on the laptop opened, Ling Chen imdiately saw Zhu Hong’s face. Although the surveillance video was shot at night, the picture was crystal clear.
However, Zhu Hong only appeared in the surveillance footage for three seconds before disappearing. Before disappearing, Zhu Hong glanced at the surveillance, seemingly noticing it and hiding to the side.
"Where in Beijing is this?"
"Next to a plaza," Hu Fei said: "After finding Zhu Hong’s whereabouts, I imdiately searched the surrounding area. Zhu Hong suddenly appeared there, likely for a complex reason."
"Any findings?"
"In an office building near that plaza is a research organization sponsored by a private tycoon, mainly focusing on cell evolution and genetic research. I suspect Zhu Hong might have gone there for this research organization."
