Chapter 17

Half a month later, the bandages on Shang Ke's head were taken off. He only needed to stay a couple more days in the hospital for observation before he could leave.

He was very spirited at the moment, completely unlike someone who had just underwent an operation. Everyday, he would take a walk in the garden and find some people to befriend, chat, and play some chess with. His life was very satisfying.

The only negative part was that Jian Chenfeng was becoming increasingly intimate with him, and the affection in his eyes was almost overflowing. Especially when they were alone, it would be completely visible for the world to see.

Shang Ke felt that this guy must be harboring some kind of scheme that will be used on him once he gets out of the hospital....

"Donglin, why are you not going in?" Jian Chenfeng saw Jiang Donglin standing foolishly outside Jian Xin's sickroom and asked with a frown.

"No need, I don't want to disturb her rest." Jiang Donglin turned around to leave.

Jian Chenfeng stopped him, saying, "Xin'er said that you haven't came to see her in a long time. You've been busy lately?"

"Hm, I am dealing with a major project," Jiang Donglin absent-mindedly replied.

"What project is so important that you don't even have the time to walk into the sickroom and see her for a moment?" Jian Chenfeng walked to his side, his sharp eyes staring into him as he continued, "Jiang Donglin, since you have agreed to be together with my younger sister, then don't betray her. If I find out that you are doing something inexcusable to her, then I will not let you off."

Jiang Donglin raised his head to look at him confessing, "Chenfeng, I'm afraid that I can no longer stay together with your sister."

"What?"

"After Yumo has done so much for her, I really don't have the qualifications to be together with her."

"Are you an idiot?" Jian Chenfeng grabbed him by the collar, angrily saying, "The one Xin'er likes is you. The one who has done the most for her will not necessarily be able to obtain her feelings. You one-sidedly gave up, but have you thought about her feelings?"

Jiang Donglin looked down, gloomily saying, "But I can't disregard my brother's feelings either. Seeing his own beloved in a relationship with his own older brother, just how painful must it be for him?"

"Jiang Donglin, those are all just your excuses. You just want to make yourself feel better," Jian Chenfeng spoke as he pushed him away. "Your brother is far more understanding than you. He knew that the one Xin'er liked was you, so he did not force it, and rather helped you. And you? Just because you felt guilty, you felt bad and decided to hurt my younger sister after you finished hurting your younger brother? You certainly have no qualms about it. Do you plan on walking away from your problems and leaving others to clean up your mess?"

"Jian Chenfeng, I do not plan to avoid responsibility." Jiang Donglin continued to seriously speak, "I just want to give Jian Xin another chance to choose, and let her get to know Yumo again. If they really can't get together in the end, then I will do everything in my ability to chase her."

Jian Chenfeng coldly sneered, "So you think that if you want her to choose, then she will choose, and if you want to chase, then you can just chase after her? Jiang Donglin, I really did misjudge you. I have always thought that you were a responsible man, but you are just an opinionated hypocrite. Leave, my younger sister's feelings do not need your meddling."

Jiang Donglin closed his eyes, and quickly left with a soft "I'm sorry."

"Miss!" A cry of fear came from the sickroom.
