Although Qin Ruoying's voice was hurried, the room was so quiet that every word clearly reached Qin Ruojing's ears.

Hearing her sister make such a request, Qin Ruojing couldn't help but feel anxious. This was a hospital room, no matter how they took the photo, there would be flaws. Given Qin Ruoying's personality, if she saw them both in the room, she'd definitely rush over from Kyoto by tomorrow.

Just as Qin Ruojing was looking around the room, trying to find a relatively safe spot, Chu Ge calmly spoke into the phone.

"Okay, just wait a moment, I'll send it to you right away." Having said that, Chu Ge hung up the phone.

"Chu Ge, quickly take a look, where would be best for us to take a photo? I wonder if we can fool little Ying."

Looking up at Qin Ruojing, Chu Ge chuckled, "Take a photo? No matter where we take it, it'll be exposed."

"Then why did you agree to her?" Qin Ruojing's brows furrowed instantly.

"Don't worry, I have a plan. Just turn off your phone first, stop looking at me, just turn it off."

Although unsure what Chu Ge was up to, Qin Ruojing nodded and turned off her phone.

"And then?"

"Use my phone to call your sister, leave it to me to talk."

Qin Ruojing did as instructed, using Chu Ge's phone to dial Qin Ruoying's number, then placed the phone next to Chu Ge's ear.

When the call connected, Chu Ge said helplessly: "Hey, little Ying, I was about to take a photo, but your sister's phone ran out of battery. What a crappy Apple, the battery dies so fast, my old brick phone was more reliable. Unfortunately, my phone doesn't support MMS, so I can't send it to you."

"Can't you just charge my sister's phone and take another photo?"

"Do you believe me if I say there's a power outage at home?"

"I don't! How can it be such a coincidence?"

"Well, if you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do. Why don't you come see for yourself?"

Hearing Chu Ge say that, Qin Ruojing's heart skipped a beat, isn't this just bringing it up when it's inconvenient?

On the phone, Qin Ruoying hesitated for a few seconds before continuing to ask: "Are you guys really okay?"

Chu Ge laughed heartily: "Well, we're not okay, we're both in bad shape. I'm lying here on my last breath in the hospital, come take one last look at me."

"Okay, I'm coming right now."

With that, Qin Ruoying's voice cut off, and Chu Ge smiled at Qin Ruojing, "Alright, it's fine now."

"Really, truly fine? Didn't little Ying say she's coming now?"

Chu Ge gave Qin Ruojing a look, "Don't you know your own sister? Do you really think she'd come? Relax, go home and get some sleep. I'm going to sleep too, not seeing you out."

Although Qin Ruojing thought her sister was likely speaking sarcastically, she couldn't completely rule out the twenty percent uncertainty. However, she didn't have any better options now and could only choose to trust Chu Ge.

Qin Ruojing left the hospital, still pondering whether her sister would actually come. As for Chu Ge, he soon fell asleep.

When Chu Ge woke up, it was already broad daylight. Looking at the sunny weather outside, he couldn't help but feel that life was a bit miserable given it was a beautiful Sunday.

He did want to live a peaceful and leisurely life, but being alone in an empty hospital room, it was peaceful but not at all leisurely.

Soon enough, he discovered an even more miserable and awkward issue—he couldn't go to the bathroom by himself.

Although the room had a private bathroom, his hands were wrapped tightly in layers of Vaseline bandages, making movement really inconvenient. Just taking off his pants, a simple task, became a challenge.

At this moment, he had an urge to rip off these annoying bandages, but ultimately gave up on the idea with resignation.

After all, he didn't want anyone to know about his freakishly fast recovery abilities, nor did he want Qin Ruojing to think he was ungrateful for her good intentions.

Luckily, he hadn't drunk much water yesterday and lost a lot of fluid during the fire, so while he felt some urgency, it wasn't overwhelming, he could bear it.

"Sigh... I wonder which department Chu Shiyao is a nurse in, it would be nice if she could take care of me."

Sitting on the hospital bed, Chu Ge idly thought, although he knew the chances of this happening were virtually zero.

After all, there were a lot of nurses in the hospital, and without knowing which department Chu Shiyao was in, even if he wanted to find her, it wouldn't be easy.

Just as Chu Ge was pondering what he could do, a heavy-set nurse pushed the door open and came in. Chu Ge's head was filled with black lines, feeling even more miserable.

This big sister looked not quite forty, maybe slightly less, weighing at least a hefty 160 pounds, with a thick build, thick eyebrows, and big eyes, just like a hero out of "Water Margin", only probably born into the wrong body, resulting in such a female figure.

This big sister seemed not in the best of moods either, saying "Lie down" as she hooked Chu Ge up with an IV drip, left a cup of millet porridge with a straw, and then turned and walked out.

Lying on the hospital bed, staring at the medicine drop by drop through the IV tube, Chu Ge felt as bored as could be.

Although he's been through many more tedious situations before, that was in the past. Since returning to the city, he had never felt so idle.

Just as Chu Ge was feeling gloomy, the door opened once again, and in walked a man around thirty, with prominent cheekbones, slicked-back hair, his right hand in a bandage, with an arrogant look on his face.

Behind him followed two people, one a man in a white coat, looking like a doctor, the other a young woman of average appearance, dressed in a white shirt and black pencil skirt, standard office attire.

Upon entering the room, the man scanned the environment inside. When he saw Chu Ge, he slightly frowned and turned his head back, chin up, speaking to the doctor, "Why is there someone else in this room? Didn't you say you arranged a private room for me?"

The doctor at the door also froze slightly upon seeing Chu Ge, replying very respectfully, "Minister Lin, well, the private rooms are all full now. I just got in this morning, really didn't know someone was here, sorry, very sorry."

Lin Bin's face was stern, giving a snort from his nose, clearly dissatisfied with the doctor's words.

Seeing Lin Bin's displeasure, the doctor at the door spoke with a pained expression, "Minister Lin, how about this, please wait a moment, I'll check again for you, would that be okay?"

Lin Bin didn't respond, he sat down on the hospital bed next to Chu Ge and crossed his legs.

"Minister Lin?" the doctor at the door asked cautiously again.

"Do you have to keep asking about such trivial things? Can't you hurry up?" Lin Bin's female secretary took up the conversation, speaking with some impatience.

"Hey, hey, I'll go right now. Minister Lin, please wait a moment, I'll be right back."

The doctor replied very respectfully again, then immediately left the doorway. Though he thought Lin Bin was rather pretentious, there was nothing he could do since Lin Bin could help arrange a job for his child.

Lying on the hospital bed, Chu Ge originally wanted to greet the hospital mate and chat a bit to pass the time, but seeing the other party so clearly dismissive of him, he gave up the idea, closed his eyes, and continued to feign sleep.

Less than two minutes later, the doctor who had just left returned, his face bearing an even deeper apology, as he opened his mouth somewhat nervously, "Minister Lin, really sorry, there really are no vacant rooms. Comparatively, this is the best room I can arrange for you."

Lin Bin's female secretary turned back, eyes glaring, "Can't you even handle such a small matter? What are you good for?"

Hearing this, the doctor at the door felt such frustration; whether there were rooms available wasn't up to him. Besides, Lin Bin hadn't spoken yet, so why was this woman strutting around asking stupid questions under his authority?

But even though he was displeased, he didn't say much, with an embarrassed look on his face, said "It's my fault," then left the room.

Lin Bin frowned again, looking at his secretary, then at Chu Ge.

The secretary understood the look, immediately took her wallet out of her handbag, counted out five new hundred-yuan bills, and impatiently spoke to Chu Ge.

"Hey, here's five hundred yuan, change to another room."

Hearing this, Chu Ge didn't feel angry at all, instead finding it quite amusing. These two were really good at putting on airs, weren't they?

Pretending not to hear the woman's voice, Chu Ge continued to relax with his eyes shut.

"Hey, I'm talking to you, are your ears having issues?"

Seeing that Chu Ge completely ignored her, the female secretary's face couldn't keep up appearances; she wiggled her hips, walked briskly in high heels, and dumped the five red bills by Chu Ge's pillow.

Chu Ge was even more speechless now. He didn't feel like talking to the woman, but she was getting all worked up, wasn't she?

Opening his eyes, Chu Ge glanced at the cash by his pillow, speaking with a bit of confusion, "Huh? Were you talking to me?"

The female secretary frowned, full of impatience, speaking in a condescending tone, "Nonsense, take the money and move to another room."

"Really? Five hundred yuan? Just to switch rooms, that simple?"

"Yes, it's that simple, take the money and get out."

Seeing Chu Ge's apparent delight at hearing the money, the female secretary became even more disdainful and impatient.

"Oh, this is really a good thing. I just heard you calling 'A, A' over there, and I was wondering whose name sounded so foreign, turns out it was you calling me. By the way, is your name B? Should I call you Big B or Little B?"

With his bandaged hands, Chu Ge picked up those five bills, eyeing the secretary's pencil skirt center, smiling with the corners of his mouth curled.
