Chapter 93: Emotional Master

The days in the hospital seemed shrouded in a layer of tranquil gauze, appearing exceptionally peaceful and serene.

Jiang Xianchuan spent each day here with ease and comfort. His daily activities were nothing more than getting a good night’s sleep, then intimately clinging to his beloved Li Lingyu, enjoying that sweet and blissful time. If he felt a little tired, he would leisurely stroll around, inspecting the hospital’s operations, making this kind of life incredibly pleasant.

Today, the sunlight was as bright as shattered gold, scattering across the hospital rooftop. Jiang Xianchuan comfortably lay on the wide lounge chair, basking in the warm sunlight. Just as he was indulging in this beautiful moment, a slight movement came from the empty space beside him. It was Shi Yi, gently lying down.

Shi Yi sighed softly, and although it was quiet, it still caught Jiang Xianchuan’s attention. He turned his head to look at Shi Yi, asking with concern, “What’s wrong? In a bad mood?” Shi Yi nodded slightly in agreement.

Then, she said in a somewhat confused tone, “There’s something about relationships that I can’t figure out, so I came to you, the emotional master, to guide me and enlighten me.”

As soon as Jiang Xianchuan heard it was a relationship problem, his eyes lit up, and he excitedly urged, “Tell me in detail, what’s going on?” Shi Yi paused slightly, organized her thoughts, and then slowly began to narrate, “I often work with Qi Xiaoyao, and although he occasionally complains that I’m stupid and even ruthlessly calls me an idiot, what’s strange is that whenever I encounter difficulties or mess something up, he silently cleans up the mess for me and handles everything properly. For a long time, he has been secretly caring for me in every possible way. That kind of silent dedication really makes me feel that, as time goes by, he’s actually quite a lovable person.”

Before Shi Yi could finish speaking, Jiang Xianchuan said, “Oh, you like him, don’t you?” As he said this, a hint of curiosity and inquiry flickered in Jiang Xianchuan’s eyes.

Shi Yi was slightly stunned when she heard this, then shook her head and nodded, slowly saying, “Actually… I don’t even know what kind of feelings I have for Qi Xiaoyao. If you ask me if I like him, it seems like I do a little, because I definitely have a pretty good impression of him now. But at the same time, I’m also a little scared, worried that I’m just simply treating him as a very good friend.” As she said this, Shi Yi unconsciously frowned, as if lost in deep thought.

After a while, Shi Yi was silent, just standing there quietly, like a statue of a thinker. After a long time, she finally raised her head again, her face still carrying a trace of confusion.

At this moment, Jiang Xianchuan, who had been listening silently, gently patted Shi Yi’s shoulder and softly suggested, “Perhaps, you could try to understand him more deeply. For example, carefully observe what his usual likes and habits are; or seize every opportunity to chat with him and explore topics that you both are interested in. You know, often, deep friendship can gradually develop into love.” After hearing Jiang Xianchuan’s words, Shi Yi nodded as if awakened from a dream, secretly pondering what he said, and the more she thought about it, the more it seemed to make sense.

In the days that followed, just as Jiang Xianchuan had suggested, Shi Yi began to consciously pay more attention to Qi Xiaoyao. Whenever they worked together, Shi Yi would always pay extra attention to Qi Xiaoyao’s every move, carefully remembering his every little detail and preference.

Not only that, but she would also rack her brains to find all kinds of suitable opportunities to actively engage in communication with Qi Xiaoyao and strive to uncover more interesting topics that could resonate between them. Gradually, as the frequency of interaction between them continued to increase and the degree of understanding deepened day by day, Shi Yi found that her feelings for Qi Xiaoyao seemed to become more and more complex and subtle.

After a period of getting along day and night, Shi Yi gradually realized that she had developed a different kind of feeling in the depths of her heart for that person. She repeatedly pondered this feeling and finally came to a conclusion that surprised her a little: “I think I might really like him.”

Hearing Shi Yi so bluntly express her feelings, Jiang Xianchuan smiled and responded, “Since you like him, then go confess! Bravely express your feelings, maybe there will be unexpected gains.” However, Shi Yi immediately fell into deep entanglement, frowning tightly, and worriedly said, “But what if he just treats me as a regular friend? Wouldn’t that be very awkward…”

Hearing this, Jiang Xianchuan turned his head, looked at Shi Yi with a firm gaze, and said seriously, “No, I can feel that Qi Xiaoyao also has feelings for you.” After hearing this, Shi Yi stared at Jiang Xianchuan with a suspicious look and asked, “Really? How are you so sure?” Jiang Xianchuan pondered for a while, then pretended to be mysterious and replied, “This is a man’s intuition, trust me, you can’t go wrong! Oh, don’t hesitate, go try it, I believe you will succeed with your charm.”

After listening to Jiang Xianchuan’s encouraging words, although Shi Yi still had doubts in her heart, she decided to think carefully about whether to take this crucial step. In the following days, Shi Yi was immersed in her own thoughts, repeatedly weighing the possible results of a confession.

At this time, Jiang Xianchuan was leisurely strolling in the hospital with his friend Li Lingyu. Suddenly, their line of sight was attracted by a pair of figures holding hands tightly not far away.

Upon closer inspection, wasn’t that Qi Xiaoyao and Shi Yi? Both of their faces were filled with happy smiles, as if everything around them was irrelevant. Seeing this scene, Jiang Xianchuan couldn’t help but reveal a gratified smile, turned his head, and whispered to Li Lingyu beside him, “See, I told you I was right, they really got together.”

Seeing this scene, Li Lingyu did not hesitate to reach out and gently hold Jiang Xianchuan’s hand. He nodded slightly and responded softly, “Yeah.”

However, facing Li Lingyu’s somewhat cold and perfunctory response, Jiang Xianchuan couldn’t help but frown, pouting his little mouth and saying, “Why are you like this? You’re not even a little interested in this explosive gossip! Don’t you want to hear the wonderful details?”

Hearing Jiang Xianchuan’s slightly dissatisfied complaint, Li Lingyu slowly raised his head, his gaze gently and intently fixed on her delicate and charming face, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he slowly said, “Those are not related to me, the only thing I care about is you.” After saying that, he held Jiang Xianchuan’s hand even tighter, as if afraid that he would disappear if he let go.
