Sleepless Night

Zhou Xun leaned against the head of the bed, exhaustion evident in his eyes. He knew that the person called Hong Yi had feelings for Fang Tan, and because of this, he was even more worried. He feared that Hong Yi would lay a hand on Xiao Ye...

"Eh, you woke up!"

The melodious voice brought Zhou Xun's thoughts back. He raised his eyes and looked at the person speaking, a hint of confusion on his face.

Lilian smiled and placed her bag on the table, while organizing her documents, she said, "I am the new doctor. Actually, I saw you yesterday, but you were resting, so I didn't disturb you. Later, your brother came and I saw that you were fine, so I went back to pack my things. Um... today is officially my first day at work!"

Zhou Xun smiled and said, "Thank you for your trouble."

Lilian waved her hand and politely said, "It's my job, it's only natural. By the way, my name is Lilian. What's your name?"

Zhou Xun.

Lilian nodded in understanding and, thinking about the address, became very curious. "The butler calls you 'Sir,' which means you're an important figure in the Qin family. So why did you get so many injuries?"

Zhou Xun smiled faintly, a trace of helplessness in his words. "I am not someone important. These injuries are just punishment for my mistakes."

Lilian still didn't understand, but she didn't continue to ask further. Perhaps it was a woman's intuition, she felt that the other party didn't really want to answer this question.

"I saw the head of the Qin family yesterday, and he is..."

The conversation abruptly stopped, and Lillian nervously patted her pocket. Her heart skipped a beat. Could things really go this badly...

Zhou Xun sensed that something was off and asked, "What happened?"

Lilian awkwardly scratched her head, "Um...my phone...it's at home."

If it's something important, go back and get it quickly. It wouldn't be good if you miss any important news.

Lilian nodded apologetically at the person and said, "Sorry, I'll be back soon," before grabbing her bag and leaving.

Zhou Xun glanced around, removed the needle, slowly got off the bed, and leaning against the wall, walked towards the bathroom.

Although it was only a distance of about ten steps, the person had a difficult time walking, with a thin layer of sweat appearing on their forehead. When Zhou Xun saw the pale and haggard figure in the mirror, it was as if he had glimpsed something terrifying, quickly averting his eyes.

After he finished washing up and was preparing to go find his younger brother, the tightly closed door happened to be opened by someone.

Both of them were taken aback. Zhou Xun's face slightly changed, he moved his lips, but no words came out.

Qin Fangtang raised his eyebrow and looked up and down at the person, smiling as he said, "Oh, it seems like you've recovered quite quickly."

"I... "

Without waiting for the others to finish speaking, Qin Fangtan interrupted, saying, "Since you can go to the field, that's perfect. There is a banquet the day after tomorrow, so make sure you don't mess it up for me."

After speaking, he stretched out his hand and seized the other person's wrist, pulling them along as they began to leave.

Zhou Xun couldn't keep up with the other person's pace and stumbled, crashing into someone. This collision irritated Qin Fangtan, causing him to angrily shout, "What are you doing!"

Zhou Xun saw that the person was angry, so he reached out his hand and gently rubbed the other person's shoulder. He apologized in a soft voice, saying, "Sorry..."

Qin Fangtan looked at the person with a sidelong glance. When he saw the injuries on the person's ten fingers, his eyebrows furrowed, and he quickly removed his hand.

"Enough, I have something to do later, can you hurry up!"

"I understand..."

Qin Fangtan didn't pay attention to anyone and walked ahead by himself. After about ten steps, he suddenly stopped. He turned around and saw the person's footsteps seeming ethereal. Annoyance welled up in his heart, and his face became even uglier.

"Are you capable or not?! If you're not, then let your younger brother go!"

Zhou Xun's face suddenly changed, and he quickly said, "I can do it, I don't need Xiaoya..."

Qin Fangtan looked at the person's limping appearance, angrily smiling, "Zhou Xun, I know what you're thinking. The banquet in two days is not a pet exchange market. What I want is a proper person. Are you joking with me in your current state?"

Zhou Xun pursed her lips and said, "I will take painkillers for the banquet the day after tomorrow."

Qin Fangtan's face remained grim, as he coldly snorted, "That's great. If you mess up, you know the consequences."

"Um..."

Qin Fangtan squinted his eyes and walked up to the person's side without saying a word. He then horizontally lifted the person in his arms.

Surprised, Zhou Xun felt a sudden sharp pain in his back, causing him to furrow his brows. Qin Fangtan didn't expect that this movement would disturb the other party's wound, so he continued on without a care.

Zhou Xun lifted his gaze, glanced at the person's profile, and slowly relaxed his furrowed brows. He gently placed his hand on the other person's shoulder and, seeing that the person didn't say anything, slightly tilted his head and leaned against them.

At this moment, the person standing by the window on the second floor coldly watched this scene, their beautiful face seemingly twisted.
