Shen Zichu almost choked to death on his soy milk while eating breakfast and getting ready for work.

No wonder Huo Tingxiao had called yesterday, telling him to be cautious and watch his words, he was apparently waiting for this.

This man was too scheming, actually playing this kind of trick with Mu Lan?

God damn sleepwalking! It was obviously him who sneaked over and carried her in the middle of the night, sigh, how could Mu Lan be so naive? Doesn’t she have any doubts?

“Mm, don’t panic, take it slow.”

Since they were putting on a show, they had to do the full act, sigh, this couple really was funny. Couldn’t they just talk things out properly instead of going through all this?

...

“These past two days it’s like I’ve been possessed. I slept in the guest room the night before last, but when I woke up I was in the bedroom.

I locked up the guest room door yesterday, but this morning when I woke up… I was still in the bedroom!”

Shen Zichu thought to himself, if Huo Tingxiao carried you over, of course you would be in the bedroom.

“Huh? You guys are sleeping in separate rooms?”

Mu Lan was taken aback and hurriedly blurred the focus.

“That’s not the point. My problem is, do you think I should see a psychic or a psychiatrist first?”

“…”

Shen Zichu really was about to die of laughter because of Mu Lan.

How could she even bring up a psychic? Did she truly believe she was possessed?

“I don’t think it’s that serious. You’re just not used to sleeping alone, and sulking doesn’t mean you have to sleep in separate rooms.”

Mu Lan pursed her lips and let out a hum.

“That’s a biased view if I’ve ever heard one, you don’t know what happened.”

“Hey, sister-in-law, you’re really breaking my heart with that. I picked up your call first thing in the morning, and I have two surgeries lined up in a bit. How could I be biased?”

Shen Zichu’s pitiful tone made Mu Lan feel as if she had been too sharp and she quickly apologized.

“I have morning grumpiness, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to lash out at you, it’s just…”

Who would have thought Mu Lan would take a couple of fibs seriously? Shen Zichu felt that he was somewhat a bad person, sigh, but what could he do? Huo Tingxiao was his childhood friend after all. Sorry, sister-in-law.

“No problem, no problem. If you’re not at ease, just get a neurological checkup.”

“Alright, alright, then I won’t eat breakfast this morning, just in case I need to have blood drawn or something.”

As soon as Mu Lan finished saying this, Shen Zichu felt even more guilty, thinking to himself, sister-in-law, that’s really not an illness at all… sigh.

“Then… okay.”

“You go ahead and get busy, I won’t bother you anymore.”

After ending the call, Mu Lan brushed her teeth and washed her face, huffing with irritation. By the time she came downstairs, Huo Tingxiao had also left without having breakfast.

Sigh, she was in a very bad mood.

So he really planned to treat her like air, didn’t he? Mu Lan felt she was being melodramatic, even though they’d agreed to not interfere with each other, but when Huo Tingxiao actually became so cold, it made her uncomfortable.

“Sister Li, I’ll be going to the hospital for a checkup later, so I won’t eat.”

“Are you sick?”

“Uh… a bit under the weather.”

Mu Lan was too embarrassed to admit she was sleepwalking.

Yun Xi finished her breakfast in record time, polishing off a bowl of porridge and a basket of buns in two minutes, leaving Mu Lan stunned.

“You don’t have to rush, take your time to eat.”

Yun Xi calmly wiped her mouth.

“I’m used to it.”

Mu Lan wondered what kind of past Yun Xi had been through to develop such rapid eating habits. Could it be that she had been a soldier? On the way to the hospital, Mu Lan was like a walking encyclopedia of questions, asking non-stop.

“Yun Xi, were you a soldier before? Why do you eat so… fiercely?”

“Mm.”

“Really? That’s amazing!”

“Not severe, but almost died.”

Mu Lan was stunned, a bit reluctant to ask any further.

Yun Xi looked cold, but at times also appeared very melancholic, evidently a person with a story.

Perhaps, even an unpleasant story, it was better not to pry too much into others’ privacy.

Mu Lan had intended to queue up for registration herself, but instead, Shen Zichu sent her a WeChat message asking her to go directly to Director Wu.

Without being pretentious, she simply replied with a thank you.

Shen Zichu glanced at the screen and then at the man sitting in his office.

“Really now, is all this necessary? If you want to reconcile, just say so—no need for these underhanded tactics, right?”

Huo Tingxiao looked at him coolly.

“When did I ever say I wanted to reconcile?”

“…”

Stubborn pride, secretive schemer, just keep pretending—with his face screaming reconciliation, yet still putting on an act.

“I’m speaking from experience here, when it’s time to let go of pride, don’t hesitate. Being stubborn gets you nowhere.”

Huo Tingxiao observed Shen Zichu, his tone touched with a hint of cool indifference.

“Advising me? Oh, still thinking about Shao Wei?”

The moment Shen Zichu heard that name, his facial expression remained unchanged, but his complexion did a complete turnaround.

“Who… who said I’m thinking about her?”

“Actually, Gu Xiaoman isn’t bad.”

After Huo Tingxiao said this, Shen Zichu looked puzzled. Had he really become so fond of Gu Xiaoman? To Huo Tingxiao, she used to be a nobody, so why the sudden change?

“Gu Xiaoman is not bad, but…

Forget it, I won’t meddle in your affairs anymore, but could you leave me alone as well? I’ve already arranged a doctor for her in neurology, but rest assured, I made up everything on the fly, and pinned it all on Mu Lan. She’ll know what to say when the time comes.

I’m off to prepare for a surgery; you’d better slip away through the back door soon too. It’d be pretty awkward if you bump into someone.”

Actually, Shen Zichu wanted to mock him a bit more. A simple phone call could have solved the issue, yet he had to make a personal visit—talk about having too much free time.

Meanwhile, Mu Lan was waiting for the elevator to go to the neurology department on the third floor. Coincidentally, she looked up to see Lin Yize walking towards her with a smile.

“Senior?”

“Didn’t expect to bump into you at the hospital again. How’s your injury? Are you here for a follow-up? I meant to contact you, but I feared Mr. Huo might misunderstand.

The words I said to you in the hospital room last time—I apologize. It was too rash, and if it’s caused you any burden, I’m really sorry.”

With Lin Yize saying that, Mu Lan was actually a little embarrassed.

“There’s no need for you to say that, Senior. You are here to…”

“To make an appointment for a health check-up for my mom. She mentioned that you two are on good terms now, and that you said you’d introduce a girlfriend to me?”

Mu Lan did not expect Yun Meixian to act so swiftly. How anxious could she be?

“Ah… that…”

“Great, if you do know a suitable girl, feel free to introduce her to me.”

Lin Yize was sincere without any signs of hesitation.

Mu Lan paused, thinking about what Huo Tingxiao had said about Lin Yize not having pure intentions.

Just admit jealousy if that’s the case. Who, with no pure intentions, would eagerly ask for a girlfriend to be introduced?

“No problem, leave it to me.”

The elevator arrived, and as the door opened, Mu Lan was startled to see Huo Tingxiao appear.

He had skipped breakfast to come to the hospital? Could he be ill?

Huo Tingxiao’s gaze fell on Lin Yize next to Mu Lan, his eyes cold.

This Lin Yize, always finding ways to infiltrate. To claim this was a chance encounter? No ghost would believe that.
