Rebirth and Revenge: The Young Lady is Actually a Top Killer

Chapter 144: Standing someone up is so rude

Jiang Siyue leaned halfway in his arms, and the pain and fatigue that she felt belatedly swept through her body.

In a trance, she couldn't tell whether this was reality or still in a dream.

"…What you fear will come true."

She slowly drank half a cup of warm water, her voice hoarse due to the high fever: "Fortunately, I have asked for leave from school in advance for class."

"Let's put off going to America this week," Zhou Shiyan put the back of his hand against her neck again, his attitude gentle but firm, "The most urgent thing is to get your body back in shape."

Jiang Siyue pushed the water cup away, indicating that she didn't want it anymore, and then said, "I'll think about it."

"Ayue..."

"click"

"Oh Miss Jiang, it's good that you're awake, it's good that you're awake!"

Zhou Shiyan softened his tone and was about to discuss a few more words with her, but Director Da Huang, who was only dedicated to serving the patients, had already rushed into the ward with the test reports.

Jiang Siyue looked calmly at Director Huang, who had obviously just gotten out of bed and hadn't even had time to style his hair: "Director Huang, is it a cold?"

"Yes, yes, yes," Director Huang stood at the foot of the bed, not daring to look at his boss's gloomy face, "The wound is not a big deal, it's just a simple cold."

"The heating has been turned up, Miss Jiang, are you still feeling cold?"

Jiang Siyue said truthfully: "A little bit, but it's a severe headache."

Zhou Shiyan pursed his lips without saying a word, then put the cup down with a "pop", a sound that seemed to be made unintentionally.

Director Huang understood it immediately.

"Ahem, this headache...headache is normal," Director Huang, who was under great pressure, cleared his throat and said calmly, "Don't take off the cooling patch on your forehead yet. The fever will be gone after the injection."

"Try to stay out of the wind during this period, drink more hot water and get more rest. I've asked Xiao Yang to go to the pharmacy to get the new cold medicine. Take it once it's delivered to you."

"It contains ingredients that help you sleep. At least you can sleep more comfortably after eating it."

She didn’t know if it was an illusion, but Jiang Siyue always felt that when Dr. Huang mentioned the word “rest”, he seemed to secretly glance at her side.

"...Well, I understand." But she still said nothing, just smiled slightly, "You have worked hard."

Director Huang: "Of course I should~"

The door of the ward opened and closed again, and only Jiang Siyue and Zhou Shiyan were left in the room.

There was also a faint sound of central air conditioning blowing air in the eerily quiet atmosphere.

"I think……"

"Not good." Jiang Siyue had just uttered two words when Zhou Shiyan flatly rejected her.

"..." Jiang Siyue turned her head with a look of both laughter and tears, "I haven't said anything yet?"

Zhou Shiyan pulled the quilt higher for her and muttered softly, "It's definitely not a good thing..."

"You can be discharged from the hospital when the fever subsides," Jiang Siyue didn't care whether he would listen or not, and said directly, "It's just a minor cold. There's no need to stay in the hospital all the time."

"If you're really worried, I can stay until the evening and pick you up in person after get off work."

"?" Zhou Shiyan looked at her in surprise, "Wait for me?"

Jiang Siyue said "hmm" with a strong nasal tone: "I will consider going to find Zelan."

"But the specific decision will depend on how Miss Jiang recovers."

"Besides, even if we take a step back, I still have a buff." She raised her chin slightly and pointed at the sapphire on her wrist. "Is there any problem with going back to recuperate?"

Zhou Shiyan stared into her eyes. Years of understanding made him feel that there was something strange in Jiang Siyue’s words.

But he didn't realize what was so strange at first.

"You promised me that you would decide based on the situation and never act stubbornly?" He asked Jiang Siyue's opinion softly, and said helplessly, "Ayue, I know you agreed to be hospitalized this time because this is Miss Jiang's body."

"If it were the real you, you probably wouldn't even bother to enter the hospital. Right?"

Jiang Siyue hummed again, his reaction was very flat.

Zhou Shiyan had no way to deal with her, so he could only turn his upper body and gently stroke her face with both hands: "So promise me, do what you can, okay?"

"Whatever you do, I'm only concerned about your health."

Looking at his sincere and passionate eyes, Jiang Siyue's heart moved, and she suddenly asked: "Did you touch my face like this just now?"

"? Huh?" Zhou Shiyan was stunned by the question and followed her topic unconsciously, "Just...just now? You mean before the injection?"

Jiang Siyue straightened his lips and nodded slightly.

Zhou Shiyan blinked his beautiful peach blossom eyes twice guiltily: "How did Ah Yue know...?"

That's it.

"What do you think?" Jiang Siyue raised her eyebrows meaningfully, "Why don't you let go?"

"..." A man who knows the current situation is a hero. Zhou Shiyan immediately withdrew his hand and asked curiously, "Ayue~how did you know~?"

Jiang Siyue leaned her head against the cushion behind her and said casually, "I had a dream when I fell asleep. I had a fever in my dream too."

"There is someone who touches my face, and his palm is as warm as yours."

"! Really?!" Although he knew that the person she dreamed of was definitely not him, Zhou Shiyan's eyes still lit up, "They say that dreams are a reflection of reality..."

"Maybe it's synaesthesia~?"

Jiang Siyue originally just wanted to glance at him lightly, but the moment she saw him, she smiled as if possessed by a ghost: "Maybe."

Zhou Shiyan tilted his head and looked at her and smiled: "Ayue, are you deliberately changing the subject?"

"..." Jiang Siyue didn't expect that this guy would be hard to fool today, "No."

"Then you promise me?"

"..."

"Huh? Why don't you say anything? Are you really going to do something bad without telling me?!"

"……No."

"I don't believe it! No, A-Yue, are you having an affair with someone else behind my back?!? Ah? Are you having an affair with someone else?!!"

"Are you done yet? I told you to pick me up at a certain time, why are you talking so much nonsense?"

Zhou Shiyan stood up with a bang, eyes wide open in disbelief: "Ayue?! You, you, you...if you really have someone else, can I still be your principal wife...?"

"What are you thinking about!" Perhaps the antipyretic injection took effect. Jiang Siyue no longer had a headache and even had the energy to curse. "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll slap you! Sit down!"

Mr. Zhou successfully sat down obediently with a "qwq" expression.

Jiang Siyue glanced at him and was about to reach out to take the half glass of water left on the bedside table.

"...?"

The moment she raised her hand, Zhou Shiyan, who was still sulking in front of her, predicted her next move at god-level—

He took the cup of water in front of Jiang Siyue, quickly walked to the water dispenser and got a hotter cup.

Then he held the cup tightly, making sure it was not hot, then he grabbed Jiang Siyue's right wrist and put the cup into her hand: "Drink it hot."

Jiang Siyue held the water cup and followed his figure with her eyes.

Until Zhou Shiyan walked around the end of the bed and sat back in the chair he had placed next to his bed.

"...Ayue, have you already planned to target Tao Xinrui, Xu Yuze, and the Chevrolet owner?"

The chair seemed to have magical powers. As soon as Zhou Shiyan sat down, he immediately understood the strangeness in Jiang Siyue's previous words.

——She was not in a hurry to go to America. What she needed most was the time before she was discharged from the hospital this afternoon.

Seeing that he had guessed it, Jiang Siyue didn't act too surprised.

After all, in her heart, it would be strange if Zhou Shiyan couldn't guess it.

"Well," she took a few sips of hot water and said frankly, "I really think it's extremely impolite to stand someone up."

Zhou Shiyan burst out laughing.

But as he laughed, he could only sigh and asked teasingly, "Madam, do you still need me to pick you up from the hospital after get off work in the evening?"

The mug in Jiang Siyue's hand covered most of her face, revealing only a pair of smiling eyes with a cold light: "Forget it, you should just go home and wait for me for dinner."
