Xiao Feng walked out of the west room, only to hear a light "bang" behind him as the door closed.
Following was a "click" as the door locked.
Nie Lan supported Nie Shouping onto the sofa and gave Xiao Feng an apologetic smile, "Sorry, Xiao Feng, I really can't handle Jiaojiao's dad.
When he should be waking up, he sleeps like a dead pig, and even kicking him does no good.
But when he shouldn't be waking up, he suddenly wakes up."
"Shut up!" Nie Shouping scolded angrily, "Won babbling, is it your place to speak?"
Perhaps because he just received one hundred and twenty thousand and was in a good mood, or maybe he thought it was pointless to argue with a drunk.
Nie Lan didn't argue with Nie Shouping, just said, "Xiao Feng, could you please watch him for while I go buy so 'Hangover Redy'?"
Xiao Feng nodded and agreed.
But Nie Shouping grumbled, "Every ti it's Hangover Redy, Hangover Redy, it drives people crazy!"
Xiao Feng stepped forward and sat down, roughly understanding why Nie Shouping had such a poor alcohol tolerance.
He rembered a doctor friend once told him that taking Hangover Redy in advance could indeed increase one's drinking capacity.
Like if soone usually drinks half a catty, with Hangover Redy, they could drink eight taels, or even one catty.
But the side effect is, with each use, it weakens the drinking capacity.
Typically, the normal half a catty, without Hangover Redy, would reduce to three taels.
Whether there's scientific backing, Xiao Feng didn't know; anyway, he couldn't get drunk, so he had no fate with this kind of thing.
"Bro, why did you leave halfway through the drink?" Nie Shouping patted Xiao Feng's shoulder, looking quite displeased, "Do you look down on ?"
"Phew..." Xiao Feng exhaled deeply, forming a knife with his five fingers, gently chopping it on his shoulder.
Nie Shouping's body trembled and then lay down, snoring loudly.
Xiao Feng laid him flat on the sofa, walked into the courtyard, and called Zhao Guo'an to coordinate their stories.
After all, there needed to be a reason for not returning ho at night.
"Old Zhao, I'll keep it short. I told Du Qingyue I'm at the hospital protecting you, so don't slip up later," Xiao Feng said straightforwardly.
On the other end of the line, Zhao Guo'an was clearly peeved, "You're asking to lie for you, Old Xiao. Be honest!"
"I don't have ti to talk nonsense with you. Anyway, if you spill, you'll face the consequences," Xiao Feng said and hung up without hesitation.
And not even ten seconds after hanging up, Du Qingyue called.
...
In the hospital, Zhao Guo'an looked at Zhen Jinghan beside him, indignantly, "Do you think Old Xiao is even human?
Asking to lie for him without even a benefit, I truly regret knowing him."
"Regret eting in Jiuyou Town, right?" Zhen Jinghan said while peeling an orange, "If you hadn't known him, you wouldn't have gone to Jiuyou Town, and you wouldn't have t ."
Zhao Guo'an's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly said, "I absolutely didn't an that, it's just that I can't stand Old Xiao's scoundrel face!"
Zhen Jinghan opened her mouth, but before she could speak, there was a knock on the door.
"Knock! Knock! Knock!"
Zhao Guo'an lifted his shirt at the back, waiting for the "quack doctor" to co in and check on his wound healing.
However, when the door opened, it wasn't a white-coated dical staff but a pretty woman.
She was tall, wearing a sky-blue down jacket on her upper body, black casual pants below, and a pair of Martin boots, looking very neat overall.
"Miss Zhongli?" Zhen Jinghan exclaid in surprise and moved aside.
Zhongli ng nodded, bringing in so nutritional products and a bouquet of fresh flowers, and looked at Zhao Guo'an. "I heard you were injured, so I ca to check on you. How are you feeling?"
Zhao Guo'an quickly let his shirt down and said, "Just a minor injury, but, who told you I was injured, Old Xiao?"
"No." Zhongli ng shook her head, explaining, "I originally planned to pay a visit, and when I got there, I found out you weren't ho.
Your two little girls at ho told you were injured."
"Two little girls?" Zhao Guo'an muttered to himself, but quickly realized she ant Mu Shihan and Lin Jiaxuan.
Zhen Jinghan brought a chair over, smiling, "Don't stand, sit and chat, tea or water?"
"No need to trouble, I'm not thirsty." Zhongli ng smiled gratefully and sat down.
"How's your grandfather?" Zhao Guo'an casually asked.
Zhongli ng's expression turned serious, "The treatnt went well, thanks to your help!"
Zhao Guo'an waved it off, nonchalantly, "We're friends, no need to be so formal, everyone faces tough tis.
By the way, when you were looking for , didn't you stop by to see Old Xiao?"
ntioning Xiao Feng brought a faint smile to Zhongli ng's lips, "I thought he was at the hospital, so I didn't."
"Why do you think he's here?" Zhao Guo'an seed exasperated.
Zhongli ng slightly frowned, "Soone so loyal and true, a friend's hurt, he'd definitely co to help."
"Haha, loyal and true?" Zhao Guo'an couldn't help but laugh, "What if I told you that just two minutes before you knocked, he called asking to lie for him?"
Zhongli ng's brows furrowed again, "That's normal, right? Everyone lies, surely he has his reasons."
"As if lying needs no reason?" Zhao Guo'an scoffed. "I don't know his reasons.
But asking to lie and deceive his wife says a lot about his character, doesn't it?"
Just as he finished speaking, Zhongli ng suddenly stood up, her eyes wide, "What did you say!"
"Uh…" Zhao Guo'an was startled, not understanding her strong reaction.
Zhongli ng seed to realize her lapse, blushing slightly, she coughed, "You an… he's married?"
"Yeah." Zhao Guo'an nodded, "Although they haven't formally held a wedding, Old Xiao is indeed married. Is there a problem?"
Zhongli ng didn't reply, only felt a sharp pain in her heart, like a dagger stabbing.
She shook slightly, stepping back and knocking over a chair.
"Bang!"
The sharp sound echoed in the room.
Zhongli ng ca back to her senses, lifted the chair she knocked over, "Sorry, I suddenly rembered sothing important, I'll co back another day."
She said, then quickly left.
Zhao Guo'an and Zhen Jinghan exchanged glances, realizing Zhongli ng's odd behavior likely had to do with Xiao Feng.
From how she sprang up hearing he was married, they could tell as much.
"She seems… quite fond of Xiao Feng." Zhen Jinghan spoke slowly, it sounded like a question, but her eyes carried a degree of certainty.
