Zhou Li: "Are you showing off to me?"
Yuanye: "That's not necessary. Aren't you and Sister Yubai quite happy?"
Zhou Li: "You are going to fall out with me over a woman."
Yuan Ye: "Fourth brother, what you said is not right. Jiang Mingzhu liked you before, but you two are not even boyfriend and girlfriend. It was you who ignored her first that gave me a chance."
"I didn't try to pick a corner, and I didn't sow discord. I also took the blame for you for so long. How can I be considered to have turned against you?"
Yuan Ye had a smile on his face, and his tone was neither urgent nor slow, without the slightest fear.
Zhou Li's attitude towards Yuanye is not surprising. Yuanye is just a genius having fun, not a second-generation ancestor without ability.
Zhou Li: "Are you serious?"
Yuan Ye: "What does seriousness mean to you?"
Zhou Li: "Does she like you?"
Yuan Ye: "If you don't like it now, you will like it in the future. She can tell who treats her well."
Before Zhou Li had time to reply, Xu Siyan had already walked up, and Yuan Ye's words just now reached his ears.
——
Jiang Mingzhu has been feeling unwell for the past few days since she returned from New York. She is always dizzy and nauseated.
At first I thought it was because of jet lag, but I suddenly vomited after lunch that day.
I vomited to the point where bile almost came out, but the retching didn't get any better, and I even started to have stomach pains.
It was only then that Jiang Mingzhu realized that she might be sick.
Jiang Mingzhu called a car and dragged her weak body to the door of the villa area to wait for the car to pick her up.
She was so dizzy that she couldn't see the license plate number clearly. A car parked in front of her, so she opened the door and got in.
Jiang Mingzhu wiped the sweat from her head without raising her eyes: "Master, please drive faster."
"What’s wrong with you?"
The person who responded to her was not her master, but an all-too-familiar voice.
Jiang Mingzhu suddenly raised her head and saw half of Zhou Li's face in the rearview mirror.
"……why you?"
Zhou Li didn't answer her, stepped on the accelerator and drove in the direction of Ruihe Hospital. During this period, he kept looking at Jiang Mingzhu's condition through the rearview mirror.
His face was not good, he was sweating, his hands were covering his stomach, and he was retching from time to time.
Zhou Li: "Stomach upset?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "Yeah."
Zhou Li: "Let you eat so much cake."
Jiang Mingzhu: "If you can't speak, you can shut up."
Zhou Li: "What are the symptoms?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "Why are you asking so many questions? You are not a doctor!"
Zhou Li: "..."
He still had the energy to yell at people, so it seemed that the situation was not as serious as he thought.
Zhou Li took Jiang Mingzhu to the emergency room in Ruihe. After the doctor's consultation and examination, it was confirmed that Jiang Mingzhu had acute gastroenteritis.
Doctor: "The dehydration is a bit serious. Let's get some glucose and antibiotics."
Zhou Li: "Are you hospitalized?"
Doctor: "In principle, it's not necessary. Just come to the hospital on time for fluids in the next few days."
Zhou Li: "Let's arrange hospitalization."
Jiang Mingzhu: "I don't want to be hospitalized."
The two people disagree and the person in trouble is the doctor.
But the doctor finally listened to Zhou Li and arranged for Jiang Mingzhu to be hospitalized.
Ten minutes later, Jiang Mingzhu was pushed to the single ward, and several nurses surrounded her and put water on her.
After a few instructions, the nurse withdrew.
Zhou Li closed the door and walked to the hospital bed and looked at Jiang Mingzhu on the bed.
Jiang Mingzhu was still angry that Zhou Li arranged for her to be hospitalized without her consent, and she looked at him with angry eyes.
Jiang Mingzhu: "Who asked you to arrange for me to be hospitalized on your own?"
Zhou Li: "Do you still have the energy to argue?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "...Why are you at my door?"
Zhou Li: "If you are sick, just say less."
Zhou Li's dog couldn't spit out ivory. Jiang Mingzhu didn't want to waste her time with him anymore. She picked up her phone and was about to call Fu Xiaozhi.
Before the screen was unlocked, Zhou Li snatched the phone away.
Jiang Mingzhu became even more angry, and her eyes were red with anger: "Give it back to me!"
Zhou Li: "Just tell me what you want."
Jiang Mingzhu: "I want you to get out!"
Zhou Li suddenly lowered his head and came closer to her. The tips of their noses seemed to brush against each other, and there was an itching feeling.
Jiang Mingzhu's breathing paused, her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and there was a "dong dong" sound in her ears.
She suddenly remembered Fang Qinyang's words——
Zhou Li's voice interrupted her thoughts: "Stop making trouble with me and have a good rest."
His voice didn't sound as cold and hard as usual, but it sounded a little more helpless. At first glance, it sounded like he was coaxing a disobedient child.
Jiang Mingzhu was stunned by his abnormal attitude and blinked blankly.
Zhou Li stepped back, rubbed her hair twice with his palm, and then took it back.
Then he sat down on the bed opposite, raised his eyes and glanced at the IV bottle: "Is this speed okay?"
Jiang Mingzhu finally recovered from his abnormality.
She said nothing, and stared straight at him with her big eyes, full of curiosity.
Zhou Li: "I'm asking you something."
His voice returned to its usual coldness.
Jiang Mingzhu: "You haven't answered why you are at my door yet."
Zhou Li: "Passing by."
Jiang Mingzhu: "Do I look like a fool?"
Zhou Li: "Don't you like people who care about you?"
Jiang Mingzhu's eyelids twitched. Did she understand Zhou Li's words?
Why does he have to care about what she likes? Are you really fascinated by her?
When Jiang Mingzhu was a little shaken, Zhou Li suddenly spoke again.
"Are you angry again?" he asked.
Very good, a question that makes people bow their heads.
Jiang Mingzhu: "What do you mean I'm angry again? Do you think I have a bad temper and get angry easily?"
Zhou Li: "Aren't you?"
He asked the question confidently and did not feel that he had made any mistake.
Jiang Mingzhu was so angry that she wanted to kick him hard.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Li took a few steps forward, and Jiang Mingzhu kicked him on the knee.
Zhou Li: "Have you relieved yourself?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "No."
Zhou Li: "One more time."
Jiang Mingzhu: "...What exactly do you want!"
Her tone sounded even more angry than before. Zhou Li couldn't help but frown, not understanding what she was angry about.
He should have asked her what she wanted.
Zhou Li: "I didn't think about it."
Jiang Mingzhu: "Then can you stay away from me? Damn it, you don't really want to chase me, do you?"
Zhou Li: "No way."
Jiang Mingzhu: "If you give up on this, I won't let you be an underground lover."
Zhou Li: "That's not what I'm talking about."
Jiang Mingzhu's face was full of sarcasm: "It's not this, don't tell me that you are going to kick your fiancée and marry me."
Zhou Li: "What if I say yes."
If if, if again.
Jiang Mingzhu was tired of hearing this kind of hypothesis. There were so many ifs. It was just a bait used by men to trick women into taking the bait.
Although she has never been in a serious relationship, she definitely doesn't know how to fall in love!
Jiang Mingzhu: "If you come here, you can chase me if you want. Wait until you really kick her before you come back."
Jiang Mingzhu didn't expect Zhou Li to reply.
Unexpectedly, he actually said two words after a period of silence: "Yes."
