271 Didn’t You Want to See Me?

In the laboratory, Sang Qianqian was so immersed in her work that she had even forgotten to eat dinner. However, she did not feel hungry.

The concoction process went smoothly without any accidents.

She only needed to follow Professor Fu’er’s method and mix a certain amount of medicine in order.

The entire process would only take two to three days if nothing unexpected were to happen.

By the time Sang Qianqian had completed the first stage of the concoction, the sky had already turned dark.

It was already past ten o’clock at night.

Sang Qianqian walked to the window and looked at the night sky. She suddenly wanted to see Shen Hanyu. It was time to meet him.

The antidote would be ready soon, but she still had no idea how Shen Hanyu was doing.

Her finger was already on Shen Hanyu’s number, but Sang Qianqian deleted it.

Instead, she turned around, picked up the house phone on the table, and dialed Shen Hanyu’s number.

—

In the dimly lit room, only an orange wall lamp was turned on.

Shen Hanyu woke up with a splitting headache. He was in a daze and his temples were throbbing.

“You’re awake?”

Fang Lan, who was by his bedside, asked happily, “Do you feel better now?”

Shen Hanyu’s voice was hoarse. “You haven’t left?”

“I’m on leave for the next few days. I don’t have anything to do even if I go back.”

Fang Lan helped Shen Hanyu sit up and asked, “Do you want to eat something? Are you hungry?”

Shen Hanyu shook his head. “What time is it?”

“It’s past nine in the evening.”

Fang Lan turned around to get some warm water and brought a few pills over. “The doctor came over again just now and prescribed some more medicine.”

Shen Hanyu put his hand to his lips and coughed.

He took the glass of water and the pills from Fang Lan and swallowed them.

“It’s my fault that you’re sick this time.”

Fang Lan’s face was filled with guilt, “I won’t look for you at night anymore. It must be because you stayed up late the past few days that you fell sick.”

She really regretted her Second Uncle’s broken Internet Security Center. All kinds of things wouldn’t stop happening every day.

Shen Hanyu’s health was getting worse by the day, and Fang Lan had been very careful not to bother him.

However, not long ago, she had been temporarily transferred to the military’s Technical Department for more than half a month and had encountered a rather tricky network problem that she could not solve no matter what.

Due to this, she had no choice but to call Shen Hanyu in the middle of the night for help. Shen Hanyu got dressed and got out of bed, then helped her solve the problem remotely.

However, he started to catch a cold and had a fever the next day. He was bedridden for more than a week and did not recover.

After Fang Lan returned from her temporary transfer, she skipped work and went to the Zhen family to visit Shen Hanyu without even asking for her Second Uncle’s permission.

Fang Hongyi knew her well, so he gave her a few days off so that she could take care of Shen Hanyu.

“It has nothing to do with staying up late. It’s my own problem.”

Shen Hanyu’s voice was nasally. “If you have a problem, you should look further for solutions. I can’t help you for long.” he said.

In the past two months, Shen Hanyu could clearly feel that his body’s functions were declining rapidly, except for his limited mobility.

He fell sick easily. Even a small cold and fever could make him weak and fragile. He had never felt so tired and heavy before.

Fang Lan’s heart was very sad, but she still smiled and said, “The winter in the capital is too cold. Grandma Zhen said that when you’re better, we can go to the southern island. It’s warmer there…”

As they were talking, Shen Hanyu’s phone rang from the computer desk outside.

“I’ll get it for you.”

Fang Lan quickly got up to get the phone. “It’s a fixed number. Could it be a sales call?”

Not many people knew about Shen Hanyu’s phone, and all the numbers that could be called had a saved note.

However, an unknown, fixed-line phone call came in. It wouldn’t make sense to be a sales call.

“I doubt it’s a sales call.”

Shen Hanyu said tiredly, “Pick it up for me. It should be Guo Muyang.”

Whenever Guo Muyang came to Beijing, he would use the hotel’s landline to contact him.

Fang Lan answered the call and put it on speaker.

There was no response from the other end of the phone. Fang Lan was getting impatient. “Guo Muyang, if you have something to say, say it.”

The phone was silent for two to three seconds before Sang Qianqian’s voice came through the phone line. “Fang Lan, it’s me.”

“M-Miss Sang?”

Fang Lan was shocked. “Is it really you?”

After Sang Qianqian returned to Yuecheng, there had been no news from her for the past two months. Fang Lan had thought that she had completely given up on Shen Hanyu. She did not expect that she would call again.

Sang Qianqian hummed in acknowledgment. “Is Hanyu here?”

“Yes. Wait a moment.” Fang Lan was about to hand the phone to Shen Hanyu.

Shen Hanyu didn’t move. He just shook his head.

Fang Lan coughed awkwardly. “Miss Sang, well, Hanyu can’t answer the phone right now. Tell me what you want to say, I’ll pass the message to him.”

It was as if a basin of water had been poured on her, and all her emotions were completely doused.

Sang Qianqian was silent for a moment. “Fang Lan, I would like to meet Hanyu.”

Fang Lan was stunned. “Has Miss Sang returned to the capital?”

“Yes, I’m back.” Sang Qianqian said, “Can you help me ask if he’s free tomorrow?”

Fang Lan subconsciously looked at Shen Hanyu, who was pursing his lips tightly. It was obvious that he did not want to see Sang Qianqian.

Two months ago, Fang Lan still had the intention to fix Shen Hanyu’s relationship with Sang Qianqian.

However, now… Even if she wanted to, she probably couldn’t.

Fang Lan sighed. “Miss Sang, Hanyu… Doesn’t have the time.”

“What about the day after tomorrow?”

“He’s not free the day after tomorrow either.” Fang Lan bit the bullet and replied, “Hanyu has been very busy recently.”

“Is that so?”

Sang Qianqian’s tone sounded nonchalant. “But I have something to do and I have to see him. Miss Fang, let’s do it tonight. Please tell him that in half an hour, I will be waiting for him at the café where we met last time. If he doesn’t come, I will continue to wait.”

She hung up the phone without giving Fang Lan a chance to refuse.

“You heard it. It’s not that I didn’t follow your instructions. It’s just that Miss Sang doesn’t play her cards according to common sense.”

Fang Lan handed the phone to Shen Hanyu helplessly. “What do we do now?”

Shen Hanyu’s expression was unreadable as he looked down at his phone.

Only then did he realize that Sang Qianqian had also called him in the afternoon and sent him a message. However, Fang Lan wasn’t around and he had probably fallen asleep, so he had missed it.

“If it really doesn’t work, I’ll just go see Miss Sang.”

Fang Lan thought for a moment and stood up. “You’re sick and can’t go out. I’ll-”

“No need.”

I’ll go and see her,” Shen Hanyu said in a hoarse voice.

Sang Qianqian would do what she said. If he did not go, she would really keep waiting.

Fang Lan looked at Shen Hanyu with a complicated expression. “But you…”

Didn’t you not want Miss Sang to see you like this?

When the words reached her mouth, they eventually turned into another sentence, “I’ll make the arrangements then.”

—

At the coffee shop.

Sang Qianqian sat alone in a secluded corner, not in a good mood.

She insisted on meeting him tonight because she was angry at Shen Hanyu’s attitude.

However, she was not sure if Shen Hanyu would come.

‘It’s fine even if he doesn’t come,’ she thought angrily. ‘I’ll personally go to the Zhen family in a few days. Let’s see how he can hide then.’

Sang Qianqian did not expect to receive a call from Shen Hanyu less than ten minutes after she arrived at the café.

“Didn’t you want to see me? Come down.”
