Chapter 120: The Hospitalised Woman

You Huo sat down in a chair by the window.

There was actually a chair opposite his, but Qin Jiu didn’t choose to sit there. He leaned against the back of the You Huo’s chair and asked, “What are you looking at so eagerly?”

“Photo.” You Huo didn’t hide anything, He lifted his phone to show him.

“Something you received?” Qin Jiu reminded him, “You didn’t go online did you?”

“No.” You Huo glanced at him, “Not asking where I got it?”

“I can guess.”

“That 001 rank isn’t in vain. Your observational skills are not bad.”

You Huo moved the phone to his right hand to let Qin Jiu see as well.

Qin Jiu let out an ‘oh’, “Then compared to A?”

You Huo didn’t look back, “Almost there.”

After saying that, his hair was ruffled.

You Huo quietly snorted as he selected open the photo.

That photo wasn’t very clear and there were also lines running through them that would typically appear when one takes photos of screens. Since 021 was nervous when she took the photos, the first one was blurry.

But Qin Jiu could tell that it was a photo of a monitoring screen. It was a photo of someone’s confinement room.

He was a little surprised.

“Whose?” Qin Jiu asked succinctly.

“Old Yu.” You Huo zoomed in on the photo and pointed at a figure, “Here.”

Although the face had turned pixelated, Old Yu’s unique posture and bent neck could easily be identified.

The pure white bed and a basket of flowers were also distinctive features despite its blurriness. You Huo recognised it at once, “Should be the hospital.”

Qin Jiu lowered his finger and moved the photo to the right, revealing another pixelated figure on the bed, “Who is this?”

You Huo was a little hesitant.

It seemed that in this photo only that part there was something he was unfamiliar with.

Qin Jiu examined the blurry photo and couldn’t’ seem to understand 021’s intentions, “Any other photos? Ones where you can see their faces more clearly.”

You Huo was still in daze.

He reacted a few seconds later and swiped to the next photo.

The picture this time was clear. It was as if someone with short-sightedness finally put on glasses.

Without even needing to zoom in, the face of the person on the bed could be seen.

“Do you recognise her?” Qin Jiu asked.

He glanced at You Huo and saw that the other party’s eyebrows were slightly furrowed as he stared at the sickly woman who was seemingly pretending to be healthy and also seemingly a little dazed.

After a moment, he saw You Huo’s brows relax. A self-deprecating smile appeared on his face, “My mother.”

Qin Jiu was completely stunned.

For a moment, he didn’t know what to say.

He had thought that it was probably You Huo’s distant relative, or even an unrelated stranger....

He didn’t expect this answer.

You Huo stared at the photo for a very long time. This continued until someone comfortingly swiped their finger across his face.

It was You Huo from many years ago. According to his memory, he should not have appeared in this ward.

The moment he saw this photo, he suddenly seemed to have recalled something.

He seemed to remember the strong smell of disinfectants. It was a smell unique to hospitals.

And there was also Old Yu’s stunned face.

After a moment, You Huo chuckled softly.

“Look, I won the bet.”

He raised his phone.

His hand was suddenly empty. Someone had taken the phone.

“Not necessarily.” Qin Jiu’s arm hooked over. His muscles were warm and firm, “It’s just a confinement room. It doesn’t necessarily represent the truth.”

You Huo made a sound of agreement.

The sky outside the window was completely dark. His and Qin Jiu’s figures were clearly reflected on the windowpane. Although it was just a reflection, it was more real than any memory.

He suddenly felt that it didn’t matter.

“I have to ask Old Yu about this properly. He also looks like he has something to say.” You Huo decided.

In just a blink of an eye, his tone had turned for the better.

Qin Jiu agreed, “Choose a suitable time.”

“Wu Li said last time that she had something to tell us, but we didn’t have the chance.” You Huo then said.

“Then choose a suitable time for that too.”

“I suspect that these two matters are related.”

“That’s better. It can fill in the gaps.”

You Huo nodded. He rubbed the back of his head against Qin Jiu’s chest, “But Old Yu might not tell the truth.”

“Don’t forgot your silly brother. If worst come to worst, you can bluff him.” Qin Jiu reminded.

“That makes sense.”

“What about me?” Qin Jiu asked.

You Huo turned his head to look up at him, “What about you?”

“Mr Invigilator here is clearing out past debts but you have missed your biggest enemy here. I feel very left out.” Qin Jiu playfully joked.

You Huo looked at him through half narrowed his eyes before suddenly reaching out to rub his neck and throat, “Invigilator Gi’s punishment......is to make this Head Invigilator happy.”

........

No light could be penetrated through the heavy curtains.

The coolness of the night outside however could still travel through the window and curtains into the room, but it was completely gone before it could reach the bathroom.

A slender and sharply defined hand was pressed against the glass that was coated with water droplets. Under the steaming heat and sound of water splashing, that hand tensed and relaxed over and over again.

Water droplets rolled down You Huo’s neck, running down his thin shoulder and waist before reaching his mermaid line and hip bones.

Qin Jiu’s kiss fell on You Huo’s shoulder as the other party stretched out his neck in response before turning to look back at him with narrowed eyes.

He knew. His Big Invigilator is a very resilient person. No matter what he saw, remember or encounter, he would always be able to calm himself back down very quickly.

Between them, there was no need for one-sided comforting and pity.

I’m not here to save you, I’m here to love you.
