Chapter 52: The Trouble of First Love’s Return
Around 10 o’clock in the morning, Wei Han’s ward in the hospital.
“Just obediently sit there.”
Ou Yizhe said while listening to Wei Han’s heartbeat with a stethoscope and then he pulled the eyelids to look. After verifying that there was nothing wrong, he smiled at Wei Han and kindly poured him a cup of water.
In a daze, Wei Han received it in his hands. “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome. In a few days, you’ll be able to leave the hospital.” After saying that, Ou Yizhe stretched his body and quite familiarly, sat on Wei Han’s bedside and inspected him even more closely.
Wei Han became a little nervous under his gaze and he slightly shrunk his neck. “Dr. Ou, you…don’t you still have something to do?”
Ou Yizhe shook his head. “I’m quite idle right now, so I wanted to look at you, Wei Han.”
“Uh…I’m really not much to look at.” Wei Han wryly smiled. He wasn’t a giant panda at the zoo.
“Indeed, you’re very ordinary. But who told Michael and Zhifan to be so nervous about you, so it also made me very curious about you.” Finished saying this, Ou Yizhe narrowed his eyes and drew even closer to Wei Han.
“Michael?” Wei Han was puzzled.
“Yeah, it’s Leng Yan.”
Wei Han: “……”
It turned out that Six Hot had already known him! Dang, what kind of fate was all of this?
“It was for you that Michael called me back to the country. I’d thought that in this lifetime…no, that I wouldn’t come back to look until I was at least forty or fifty.” Ou Yizhe shrugged helplessly.
“Why didn’t you want to come back? Is it because…” Wei Han wanted to say something but hesitated.
But Ou Yizhe instantly understood what he meant and the teasing smile on his face faded. He said softly, “Yeah, because of Zhifan. That year when I threw him away like that and left, I’ve always felt that I owed Zhifan too much and didn’t have the face to see him.”
“Then what about now?”
“Now, Iー”
Suddenly, there was a burst of rapping on the door, interrupting the conversation between the two. A crisp voice came from outside the door: “Big Brother Wei, it’s me, Little Yao.”
Wei Han: “……”
Ou Yizhe hadn’t left yet, but Chu Chuanyao came. Exactly what rhythm was this ah!
Ou Yizhe got up and opened the door. When the door opened, Chu Chuanyao looked at this eye-catching face and was suddenly dumbstruck: “……”
For a split second, Ou Yizhe couldn’t help but stare with a blank look. But he suddenly recalled something and slightly smiled. “You’re the one who Michael said really looked like me? Heh, really interesting.”
While talking, Ou Yizhe’s hand had already raised up Chu Chuanyao’s chin, looking at his left and at his right. Finally, he squeezed his face and lamented, “Really tender. It reminds me of myself a few years ago. It seems like this trip back was still worthwhile.”
Wei Han’s face shook: this man had just finished teasing him and now also seized the opportunity to take advantage of Little Yao.
“Hello, I’m Cyril, or you can call me ‘Dr. Ou’. Right, what’s your name?”
Chu Chuanyao’s spirit slowly returned and stammered, “Chu…Chu Chuanyao.”
Looking at his nervous little appearance, Ou Yizhe happily patted his shoulder. “What are you afraid of? I won’t eat you.”
Finished saying that, he beamed and went back to Wei Han’s side, pulled his neck and immediately kissed the side of his face.
Wei Han became rigid at once: “……”
“Well, Wei Han, you guys talk. I’ll go first.” Ou Yizhe waved his hand and left, completely ignoring the already dumbfounded Wei Han and Chu Chuanyao.
Afterwards, Wei Han wiped his face a little resentfully. He thought that Ou Yizhe probably had been in the United States for a long time so his personality was open, so now, wouldn’t he just meet people and then ‘kiss goodbye’? Then he and Odd Trouble, having met again after so long, wouldn’t it be…
Chu Chuanyao interrupted Wei Han’s irrepressible delusions in time. Somewhat at a loss, he lightly sighed, “Ai, Big Brother Wei, it turns out that he was the friend that Mr. Leng mentioned once.”
“Uh, yes, I also didn’t expect it.”
“It’s no wonder that Mr. Leng said that he had an eye for me.” The luster in Chu Chuanyao’s eyes gradually dimmed. “Maybe he started to care about me and helped me so much was probably just because I look like Dr. Ou and nothing more. But Dr. Ou is obviously much better-looking than me, and stylish and self-confident. How can I compare?”
Wei Han heard this and hurriedly advised, “No…it wouldn’t be. Little Yao, don’t overthink it. Leng Yan should really just be friends with him. You still have a good chance.”
“Really?” Chu Chuanyao’s eyes shined with a glimmer of light again.
“Yeah, believe me.”
Leng Yan and Ou Yizhe wouldn’t have anything, but what about Qi Zhifan and Ou Yizhe?
In contrast to Ou Yizhe, Little Yao was inferior, then what about himself? He and Ou Yizhe were one heaven and one earth, simply unable to compare from the start.
Qi Zhifan said that he would come back in half an hour, but this time, the work was a bit troublesome and the client’s requests were many, so it couldn’t be completely resolved in a short time. Qi Zhifan called Wei Han and explained the situation. Wei Han didn’t mind and just said that he’d have a proper lunch and then he’d take a quiet and peaceful nap.
After eating lunch, Wei Han’s state of mind was somewhat uneasy. He closed his eyes but couldn’t sleep. He rummaged through the clothes Qi Zhifan had brought him and suddenly found his own “Odd Trouble Grievances Record”. He froze on the spot: fuck me, could Odd Trouble have already seen this?
Suddenly, Wei Han heard gradually more distinct footsteps. Figuring out the time, it should be when Qi Zhifan would return. Without delay, he put the notebook in his hand back in place and hurriedly rolled up in the quilt.
This “Odd Trouble Grievances Record”, he’d originally intended to wait until he and Qi Zhifan were both old to read it. At that time, they would have been together for several decades. As old husbands, they certainly wouldn’t feel that it was anything.
But now, if Odd Trouble really read it all…Uh, Wei Han just thought about it and was too ashamed to show his face. After all, his face hadn’t been trained to be that thick yet.
When Qi Zhifan entered the ward, he saw a round lump arched on the bed with Wei Han’s entire body wrapped up inside the quilt. Qi Zhifan’s brows suddenly wrinkled: this fool, sleeping smothered so tightly, could he even breathe?
Qi Zhifan walked over and pulled Wei Han’s quilt. When he pulled it off, he saw a pair of big, jet-black eyes staring at him.
“You’re pretending to sleep?”
“No…no, I just can’t sleep,” Wei Han quickly played innocent.
Qi Zhifan apparently didn’t believe him. “Aren’t you the type to fall asleep in three seconds? You usually sleep like a lazy pig, so how can you not sleep?”
Wei Han was hit with an inspiration, and he raised his lips and laughed, “Good Trouble, great beauty, isn’t it because bro misses you too much?”
Qi Zhifan: “……”
Lord Wei just teased the beauty and his mood was suddenly a lot more pleasant. Qi Zhifan looked at the table and saw that a plate of fruit was added. He asked, “Someone came to visit you this morning? Who?”
“Oh, it was Little Yao.”
Qi Zhifan was slightly displeased. Today was Chu Chuanyao. Yesterday was Leng Yan. The day before yesterday was Shao Yi. How come all these men he didn’t want to see had to all come over? So annoying.
When Chu Chuanyao was mentioned, Wei Han naturally thought of Ou Yizhe. “Odd Trouble, in fact, this morning, I…that…”
“Why are you stuttering? If you have something, just say it.”
“I met Ou Yizhe in the morning,” Wei Han simply said it out.
“……” Qi Zhifan was suddenly stunned, the ward’s warm atmosphere also changing instantaneously. He was silent for a good while before he faintly said, “Don’t see him later.”
“…Oh.”
Wei Han nodded. He wondered exactly what Qi Zhifan thought in his heart. Obviously, Qi Zhifan didn’t want to say anymore now, so he wouldn’t force Qi Zhifan either. Perhaps, Qi Zhifan still needed time to straighten it out.
At dinner, Qi Zhifan hand-fed Wei Han. Suddenly, he reached out and pinched his face, discovering that with a light pinch, he was able to pinch out a lump of flesh. “Hey, are you eating then sleeping, sleeping and eating everyday now and being too comfortable? You’ve gained a lot of weight.”
Wei Han’s face instantly stiffened: “……”
Fuck! Why would he get fat while being sick in the hospital?
Now was the critical moment of the ‘love rival’ return! The moment he got out of the hospital, Wei Han vowed to control his diet, retrain his body, strengthen his physique and eliminate any possibility of gaining weight.
But the next day, Mother Wei specially brought a pile of Wei Han’s favorite sweets to come see him. He swallowed his saliva. Upholding the ‘only his true love of gourmet food can’t be betrayed’ belief, Wei Han decided to eat his fill before losing weight.
“Han-han, it really scared me to death when you were unconscious.”
Wei Han hung his head. “I’m sorry, mom, I made you and Uncle Qi worried.”
Mother Wei shook her head, touching her son’s head instead. “Ai, sometimes I’m not strong enough. There are clearly already two policemen in this family, and I’ve also been mentally prepared early on, but once an accident happened to you, I’m still…”
Wei Han interrupted her, “Mom, don’t say anymore. It’s been hard for you. Don’t worry, Uncle Qi and I will definitely protect ourselves.”
“Yeah.” Mother Wei laughed softly. “Han-han, I think Fan-fan still really likes you, this big brother.”
Hearing this, Wei Han raised his brows. “Huh?”
“You don’t know ah, when you didn’t wake up, Fan-fan always meticulously took care of you. During that time, he became very silent, almost ignoring everyone else. Sometimes, he even became bad-tempered and flared up a few times.”
“What?” Wei Han stared with wide eyes. The always calm and collected Qi Zhifan, he…
“It’s true. Your Uncle Qi also said that since his mother’s death, he hadn’t seen Fan-fan like this for many years.”
“……” Finished listening, Wei Han fell silent. If it were him and the one unconscious was Qi Zhifan, he may also get out of control and not know what he would have done.
“Aiya, I got sidetracked a bit. Why don’t I tell you something fun.” Mother Wei winked and laughed. “Han-han, do you remember I mentioned once to you that Fan-fan went on a blind date?”
Wei Han: “Yeah.”
Mom, this isn’t fun for me at all.
“Afterwards, I heard your Uncle Qi say that Fan-fan refused to go on a blind date again, and that he’d told his grandfather he was already in love with someone. The Old Master was happy and always looking forward to him bringing that girl to come visit.”
“Re…really?”
“Really. Aren’t you curious? Anyway, I also really want to see what kind of girl she is.” Mother Wei’s eyes were bright. Said to here, she added, “Then what about you, Han-han? Mom has always been waiting for a grandson ah.”
Wei Han knew that Mother Wei had always liked little babies, so he hadn’t dared to confess to her that he liked men.
Wei Han tried to squeeze out a smile. “No rush.”
Mother Wei found that her son was a little strange, especially every time he heard Qi Zhifan, something would always flash in his eyes: now happy, now worried, this reaction…
Although Mother Wei was usually always confused, but sometimes, she also had a woman’s intuition. She definitely wouldn’t mention some things. For example, when Wei Han was in a coma, Qi Zhifan had tightly held Wei Han several times deep into the night.
“Han-han, you’ve promised me more than once that you would be a good older brother. You haven’t forgotten, right?”
“Yeah,” Wei Han answered in a low voice.
His and Qi Zhifan’s matter, wouldn’t it certainly destroy this current family? Wei Han was suddenly a little scared.
A few days later, Wei Han was discharged from the hospital.
This weekend, Qi Zhifan had something to do and went out. Wei Han was cooking at home when he received a call from Shao Yi.
“Hey, Shao Yi, what’s the matter?”
Shao Yi’s voice was somewhat low and hoarse: “Wei Han, can you come out and meet me one time and just accompany me for a meal?”
Wei Han was afraid of angering Qi Zhifan and a little awkwardly said, “Uh…is it an important matter? Can’t you say it over the phone?”
“If it’s inconvenient, then forget it.”
“Wait, wait! Okay, what time and place?”
Soon, Shao Yi informed him and Wei Han nodded, preparing to tidy up, then go. Anyway, there was time today and Qi Zhifan wouldn’t return until the evening.
