hold a favor in return

Chapter 69

Inside the ward.

Lin Yanming was ready to leave with the list of snacks Shi An had given him, and had just reached the door of the ward when it was pushed open from the outside.

A familiar figure appeared in the doorway of the hospital room.

Lin Yanming's expression cooled, "What are you doing here?"

Shi Rui : "Of course I came to visit my brother ......"

His expression froze, and he subconsciously glanced at Shi An, changing his words to, "...... visiting Shi An's."

He had heard about Shi An's participation as a member of the Power Department in the Avon District's Learning Exchange, but he hadn't paid much attention to it; after all, with Shi An's size and strength, even if he had gone, he would have been at the bottom of the list.

The blizzard in the southern canyon made the news, and Shi Rui was secretly looking forward to it for a while, but unfortunately there weren't any casualties in the end, and the study exchange was just canceled.

Shi Rui turned his head toward Shi An and said, "Father heard about what happened in the Avon Sector, and he was worried about you, so he sent me to see how you were doing."

He walked in around Lin Yanming, showing off the gift box he was carrying:

"A little sympathy."

--For some reason, Shi Zechun seemed to be very nervous when he learned about the accident in Irving, urging Shi Rui to come and visit Shi An to find out what had happened at the conference.

This alerted Shi Rui, and a heavy sense of crisis struck him.

Could it be that ...... Shi Zechun has really decided to start taking Shi An seriously again?

However, no matter what Shi Rui thinks, he still has to do a good job on the surface.

Not far away, the teenager was sitting on the hospital bed and concentrating on the game, not even lifting his head for a moment, seemingly half noticing this side.

Shi Rui walked around Lin Yanming to the hospital bed, pulled out a chair and sat down, asking in a pleasant manner:

"How are you feeling? If there's anything you need, just ask, and I'll help explain it to father ......"

"...... By the way, father instructed me to ask you, what exactly happened at the academic exchange meeting in the Avon District? Don't look at him like this, he still cares about you, and stop gambling between you two--" Shi Rui said with a smile on his face and a fake sympathy.

The sound of the game stopped abruptly.

Shi An paused the game and looked up in Shi Rui's direction.

The teenager in front of him had dark eyelashes and a pair of dark, sunken eyes that didn't carry much emotion, but inexplicably made people's hearts flutter:

"You're really loud."

Shi Rui's unspoken words subconsciously got stuck in his throat.

He swallowed, and had a sudden urge to turn and run, but he managed to tug a little stiffly at the corner of his mouth, ready to say something to break the ice.

At that moment, Shi Rui heard the sound of a door shaft turning behind him.

A mellifluous voice rang out, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Shi Rui slowly twisted his head, then raised it a little.

He only saw a man who was nearly two meters tall, with a sturdy and strong body, and a face as heavy as water standing behind himself, and although his body still carried injuries, it didn't affect his aura at all.

Shi Rui remembered that this should be the third year senior Zhao She, who was one of the top existences in the power department of the entire Ableist Academy.

Zhao She narrowed his eyes and looked over toward Shi An, "This kid is picking on you?"

Shi Rui : "!!!"

He quickly opened his mouth to try to explain something, "No, no, you misunderstand ......"

A gentle voice came from behind Zhao She, "Zhao She, don't scare people."

Only to see a slender, handsome and gentle-faced teenager walk out from behind Zhao She, carrying condolences in his hand with a smile on his face, but without much warmth under his eyes, "This schoolmate should also be here to visit the patient, right? But this situation should also take into account the patient's mood, such as whether he is willing to receive guests at this time, as well as whether he wants to receive guests, right?"

Shi Rui: "......"

This one he also recognized.

Wang Li, the second year senior, is highly talented, born into a famous family, and is very good at being a good person, and already has a hidden reputation and prestige within the entire academy.

"What's the point of saying such polite things?" A cold female voice interrupted, "Shi An didn't want to receive him at first glance, he's the one who's dead set on staying here."

Shi Rui: "............"

He stood still, his mind spinning a bit for a moment.

This, this is ......

Fourth grade Chen Meng, the famous ice beauty, beautiful and strong family is good, but she is arrogant and very difficult to approach.

How did they get here ......?

Hard, isn't it?

No way?

Shi Rui incredulously craned his head to look at Shi An, who was not far away, only to see the teenager in the hospital bed flashing a smile at the few people in front of him, "You guys are here?"

"Brought me ice cream!" He asked with bright eyes.

Chen Meng frowned and walked in, "Just know how to eat."

She tossed him the bag she was carrying, her face still cold, "Here, chocolate barfi."

"I actually wasn't going to bring it to you, you have a history in this area," Wang Li said with a smile, "It's Chen Meng's soft heart-"

Chen Meng coldly said, "You shut up."

Shi Rui stood dumbfounded at the door, feeling awkward and redundant as he could neither enter nor retreat.

Wang Li turned his head to look at Shi Rui, his face still wearing a polite smile, but it had noticeably faded a few points:

"Schoolboy, don't you have anything to do next?"

Shi Rui coped dryly, then turned away in a sorry state.

The door to the hospital room closed behind him, blocking out a room of joyful atmosphere.

Shi Rui leaves the hospital with gloomy eyes and an expressionless face.

He just couldn't figure out ...... why Shi An had been able to get everything so easily, whether it was a flawless birth, the other eye of the number one powerhouse, or even perfect relationships, and now even his father's regard was at stake ......

He went to an unoccupied corner and pulled out of his pocket as well as his long unused contact device.

Two ticks later, a man whose face was shrouded in the shadow of a hood emerged on the screen, the other man's voice obviously processed by a machine with a nuisance current, "You figured it out?"

Shi Rui's face twisted slightly, "...... Right."

*

There were video games, countless snacks, and humans who volunteered to be enslaved to run errands.

Shi An is enjoying his stay at the hospital.

Until this day, he suddenly received a call from Zhuo Fu.

"An An Na, you have to help me! Officer Mu, he wants to work before he's fully recovered, he won't listen to anyone, you're the only one who can persuade him now!"

Shi An: "????"

Huh?

However, before he could think clearly about the connection, he was received by Zhuo Fu into the Administration by no means.

Shi An was familiar with this area of the Administration, as he was brought here by Mu Hang for a body checkup last time.

Zhuo Fu led Shi An forward, while complaining about how traumatized he was by Mu Hang's arrival - not only did he never listen to the doctor's advice, but he also committed mental violence against the person in charge of treating him, Zhuo Fu himself, every day, which made him the most difficult patient to deal with in the world. He is the most difficult patient in the world to deal with.

At the end of the corridor was a translucent, inorganic glass door.

Heavy silhouettes were faintly visible inside.

Soon after, the glass door opened with a click.

Wen Yao, clutching a stack of materials, emerged from the center.

Recently, she has been in charge of collecting information related to dragons and mercenaries, including part of the problems related to the follow-up treatment of the Irving District. Although Mu Hang's body has not yet completely healed, it has basically resumed the intensity of the work before the injury, and Wen Yao, as a henchman, although they are very worried, they are also powerless to stop their own officer's irrational behavior, and at most they can only give up on the part of "not going out in the field". The most they could do was to give in on the part of "not going out to the field".

At the sight of Shi An, Wen Yao was surprised for a moment and turned his head towards Zhuo Fu:

"This is ......"

Zhuo Fu squeezed his eyes at her, "Aren't you worried about Officer Mu's health? Isn't this the way to do it?"

Wen Yao froze with a look of dawning realization.

She smiled at Shi An and sidestepped out of the way, her eyes taking on a hint of eagerness that was hard to see, "Come on in, the officer's been waiting for you for a long time."

Shi An: "????"

You humans are so hard to understand when you talk.

What's all this and what's all this!

Zhuo Fu pressed his palm on a switch on the side, only to hear a dripping sound and the door opened.

Mu Hang sat on the hospital bed, his long silver hair unbound and cascading down like a brilliant waterfall, not wearing his usual jacket but still habitually covering every inch of his body.

His face was pale, his stern brows furrowed, and he was glancing down at the papers in front of him.

Hearing the gate open, Mu Hang raised his eyes questioningly in the direction from which the sound had come.

At the sight of Shi An, Mu Hang stared slightly.

In the next second, he seemed to realize something violently, and his eyes suddenly became stern, shooting straight towards Zhuo Fu beside Shi An like an ice-cold blade.

Zhuo Fu bothers to shrink back toward Shi An's back, "Hahaha, I remembered I have things to do in my lab, you guys talk first, hahaha!"

He ran out of the room as if he were fleeing, and in the blink of an eye he was gone.

Only Shi An and Mu Hang were left in the large magic healing room.

Mu Hang: "......"

He raised his hand and pinched his brow, gritted his teeth and said coldly, "Zhuo Fu This guy ......"

Shi An walked over to the hospital bed and looked the man in front of her up and down.

Although he couldn't tell much from the outside, he was able to sense through the vague fluctuations in his magic that Mu Hang was still in a weak state.

Obviously Zhuo Fu is absolutely right.

Shi An instantly became serious.

That's not good!

As your future is a collector's item, you must protect your body before that day comes!

He frowned slightly, seriously:

"You should get some rest now."

Mu Hang looked at the teenager in front of him and subconsciously softened his voice under the other's serious gaze:

"...... Don't you listen to them."

Shi An: "So did you get some rest?"

Mu Hang's eyes flash: "......"

Shi An sighed and shook her head disapprovingly, "If you're too tired, your hair will lose its luster."

Mu Hang froze, "......?"

He obviously didn't expect Shi An to use this reason to persuade him, and was baffled.

However, the other party looked serious and looked very serious.

Mu Hang finally gave in and sighed, closing the file in front of him.

"Okay."

He pushed the papers away and raised his eyes to Shi An.

The young man in front of him has a fair face, his eyes are extremely clear black, the curvature of the corners of his eyes are round and arched, good and soft but not losing flora, his light-colored lips are slightly pursed, the corners of his mouth are sunk into a small arc, which looks very soft and suitable for kissing.

Mu Hang's eyes were slightly dark, a pair of blue eyes like deep abysses under the surface of the sea.

In the next second, his mind flashed back to Zhuo Fu's earnest words that day.

You can't scare the other person until you know for sure if they intend to.

You can't take advantage of people and hold them hostage.

Mu Hang looks away somewhat uncomfortably.

He took a deep breath, his voice low and slightly hoarse, and said with some difficulty, "That day-"

Shi An was stunned.

...... Right Oh!

Mu Hang got stuck just two words in, his eyes flickering and looking hesitant.

What to say ......

At that moment, a bit of shadow suddenly pressed down.

Mu Hang came back to his senses, his pupils suddenly tightening.

Only the teenager lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes covering his dark eyes, and softly and wordlessly leaned in closer.

A little touch of warmth fell on his lips.

Mu Hang The muscles in his body instantly tightened and his knuckles clenched violently.

Time seemed to pause in its flow.

Shi An's eyelashes fluttered and she lifted her curtains, gazing into the slightly lagging dark blue eyes of the man in front of her, frowning in some confusion.

...... eh? Shouldn't it be like this?

He's obviously following Mu Hang's way! Is there something wrong?

Shi An reflects thoughtfully for a few seconds, then blinks and tries to draw back.

But in the next second, the man's long and powerful fingers clasped the teenager's slender waist, applying force under his palm and violently bringing him forward.

"!"

Shi An's eyes widened in shock, and, caught off guard, she lost her balance and stumbled forward before being firmly trapped in the other man's arms.

Chin pinched, Shi An lifted her head almost forcibly and opened her mouth to take the other man's almost intense licking and nibbling.

Lips tingled and ached, breath was suppressed, and the wet, watery sound of lips and tongue entwined came to his ears.

The teenager's eyes reddened at the corners and his mind was in a chaotic daze.

......???

Wait, wait?

Something doesn't seem right about this direction?

Beneath the silver-white lashes, the man's eyes burned with a blazing dark fire, raging and furious, curling with devouring heat.

Even if he did take advantage of people's danger and hold them hostage, so what?

Getting people is enough.
