Chapter 39 - Getting Rid of that Bigshot (16)

translator: baumkuchen editor: glitterypanda

When the nurse returned to the ward, the doctor and the other nurses had already gathered in Zhou Kais ward, receiving quite the headache.

Zhou Kais eyes were bloodshot and he was howling incessantly.

All of you get out! Dont touch me!

What kind of scam of a hospital is this!? What are you doing to me? You making me like this, was this Shen Changqings idea?!

Shen Changqing! Wheres surnamed Shen?! Where did he go? Call Shen Changqing to come see me!

The attending doctor was a black woman.

Despite being faced with a hysterical Zhou Kai, her attitude remained fairly serene, Mister Zhou, this is one of the best hospitals in Toronto. If you wish to receive even better treatment, we will transfer you after your condition stabilises.

Zhou Kai still wasnt willing to believe it.

He only felt the pain all over his body and the powerlessness of his lower limbs. It was natural that hed think that Shen Changqing had carelessly thrown him into some hospital to be given lacking treatment, leaving him to die a slow death.

While he was in the house taking stock of Zhou Kais assets, Chi Xiaochi received a call from the hospital.

The hospital politely invited him to come.

Zhou Kais parents had died long ago, he had few relatives, and he obviously didnt have children. Other than Shen Changqing, Zhou Kai really couldnt find another closer person in this world.

However, it was clear that Mister Zhou had not yet been able to understand the situation.

Just before, he had been cursing at Shen Changqing, saying that what hed done was attempted intentional homicide and abuse.

The hospital also rarely received this new kind of psychosis, but transferring him to the psychiatric department also came with its own set of troubles. As his injuries were too severe, the psychiatric department might not have adequate equipment to treat him.

As such, they asked Chi Xiaochi on how he wanted them to manage this.

Chi Xiaochi said very politely, weve troubled you all, please increase the dose of sedatives, Ill be there immediately.

After putting down the phone, Chi Xiaochi said, Zhou Kais really overthought it. How could I do such a thing.

061 expressed his agreement.

Right now, there was no one who wanted more for Zhou Kai to live a long life than Chi Xiaochi.

Chi Xiaochi took out a cigarette and held it in his mouth with no intention of lighting it.

In the previous world, Cheng Yuans voice was more precious than gold, so he couldnt smoke; in this world, Shen Changqing was injured. At one point, Chi Xiaochi had suspected that this Lord God was an advocate against smoking.

However, this had its advantages. After such a long time, his need to smoke had lessened by quite a lot.

He asked, How are Zhou Kais assets now?

061 said, I checked the laws here, in cases like Zhou Kais, after divorce, he needs to give a cut of at least one half of his assets to Shen Changqing, and every month, he still needs to pay a high sum of alimony. Adding the 5% of the companys yearly dividend that Sam promised to give Shen Changqing every year, theres enough money to ensure that Shen Changqing can live the next half of his life without worries.

The coming worry-free decades had been the earnings of a gamble wagering three years of hell and two lives.

Chi Xiaochi, cigarette between his lips, raised his head to look towards the ceiling. He spoke to himself, Was it worth it?

061 said, At least looking at it now, it seems to have been worth it.

Chi Xiaochi, Do you know what Im talking about?

061, I made a guess.

Chi Xiaochi said, Liu-laoshi, be honest. Did you plant some sort of virus in my mind to steal information?

061 laughed, That means, I guessed right.

There isnt a reward, what was the point of guessing?

For a moment, 061s words caught in his throat. He didnt know how to respond.

There wasnt a reason, I just wanted to guess.

It gave the impression that he was normally very bored, but when he was together with Chi Xiaochi, 061 could feel his ability to experience human emotions slowly awaken within him.

However, he wasnt clear if he liked this kind of feeling, or if he just liked being together with Chi Xiaochi.

Of course, they needed to go to the hospital. No matter what, Zhou Kai was still Shen Changqings husband on paper. He was awfully busy making a fuss, it wouldnt be good for Shen Changqing to shrink back and hide away.

Chi Xiaochi placed the unlit cigarette in the ashtray, then leisurely went off to tidy himself up. He also didnt dress up meticulously, just dressing appropriately for this first important task.

Upon arriving at the hospital, Chi Xiaochi first went to take a look at Zhou Kai.

The sedatives were still in effect. He lay on the bed, sleeping, his hair in a mess, the white hair amongst them already no longer able to remain hidden, each strand sticking out, looking very much dispirited.

Chi Xiaochi turned to go to the doctors office to inquire about Zhou Kais injuries.

Beyond answering his questions factually, the female doctor also expressed her sincere sympathies for Shen Changqing.

Shen Changqing lowered his head, and smiled gently, Its alright, its all over now.

Anybody would like this kind of beautiful and good-natured youth. This was especially so for this female doctor, whose strong maternal instincts were triggered. She said, In the future, you should come to the hospital to get checked up often. No matter how severe the injuries inflicted on your body are while youre young, if they havent been treated properly, therell be consequences when you get older. Our director was also very concerned about your matter, saying that if you came, our hospital would provide you with indefinite free medical examinations.

Shen Changqing shyly lowered his head. Thank you. However, I might be leaving this city soon.

The female doctor was really understanding of this. She asked, Leaving this place is also good. Where are you planning on going in the future?

Shen Changqing said, I havent thought about it yet.

As 061 looked at Chi Xiaochis smiling face, he was momentarily lost in thought.

Actually, hed already thought about it long ago.

When Shen Changqing had still been alive, he loved to flip through all kinds of geographic magazines. Every time he came across Melbourne-related content, his attention would be drawn to it and he would stop there, transfixed, for a long time.

It was a city recognised by the entire world as one of the best places to live, tending towards literature and art, a slight graceful air, and having the distinctive style of an old city, with a leisurely, slow pace of life, most suited for a person to silently heal from their wounds.

Over these two days, 061 had been responsible for looking over the bills, while Chi Xiaochi thoroughly looked through all the geography magazines in the house, photocopying and cutting out all Melbourne-related content, and began to search for housing information in Melbourne.

He didnt know why, but as he watched Chi Xiaochi work on his newspaper clippings with the utmost seriousness, 061s heart was as if it had been soaked in warm water infused with honey, unbearably soft.

He didnt know what kind of feeling it was. It was a little unfamiliar, he couldnt even find an appropriate word to describe it in the first moments of it happening.

At that moment, a male nurse knocked on the door and entered the doctors office, No. 26 is awake, he says he wants to see Mister Shen. Hes making a really big ruckus.

Immediately, Chi Xiaochis eyes, which had just been filled with warmth, flashed with a gleam like that of a little fox.

He said to 061, Still alive, huh.

061, Suddenly thinking it might have been better for Zhou Kai if he just stayed unconscious.

The little foxs tail was held high up in the air as he sauntered into the ward.
