"Ugh..."

In the instant Chen Tingting pinned Ye Qiu to the ground, Ye Qiu actually wanted to resist. But since he'd also had some drinks earlier, his mind was a bit foggy, and his body felt weak.

Besides, Chen Tingting's strength was unexpectedly greater than his, so Ye Qiu couldn't fight back and was pinned by Chen Tingting, who mounted him and sealed his lips with her alcohol-laced ones.

In that fleeting moment, Ye Qiu's eyes widened, frozen in place.

Chen Tingting was wearing white shorts and a white T-shirt today, but on the front of her T-shirt was printed a masked racing driver, who was none other than Ye Qiu himself.

After pressing Ye Qiu beneath her, Chen Tingting, like a frenzied tigress, drunkenly peppered kisses on Ye Qiu's face, murmuring incoherently, "Ye Qiu, idol, I finally get to see you. Do you know how much I love you, how much I adore you?"

Initially, Ye Qiu was just slightly bewildered but then he regained his senses. With a sudden force, he pushed Chen Tingting away. Seeing that she was still intent on pouncing towards him, Ye Qiu firmly restrained her and with a gaze at the drunken Chen Tingting, said, "You're drunk!"

"I am not..."

Ye Qiu frowned, then swiftly picked Chen Tingting up, saying, "You're drunk, I'll take you to bed!"

"I'm not drunk, not drunk, I can still drink..."

Chen Tingting flailed her limbs in Ye Qiu's arms, but soon wrapped her arms around Ye Qiu's neck, burying her head deeply into his chest.

Ye Qiu glanced at Chen Tingting, said nothing, and then headed towards the place where Chen Tingting usually slept.

While carrying Chen Tingting to her sleeping spot, Chen Tao, who had been drinking with Ye Han, suddenly nudged Ye Han and said, "Hey, hey, look, your brother-in-law is taking Chen Tingting to the bedroom..."

"Let him go..." Ye Han waved his hand, then suddenly rose abruptly, "Who did you say? My brother-in-law took Chen Tingting to the bedroom?"

"That's right!" Chen Tao said, "He's already inside!"

Ye Han was immediately startled, "That's not right, Brother-in-law, you belong to my sister. How can you do something that betrays my sister? Besides, of all people, why Chen Tingting..."

Eager and anxious, Ye Han took great strides towards Chen Tingting's room, murmuring as he went, "Don't let anything happen, don't let anything happen!"

Bam.

He kicked open Chen Tingting's door, shouting, "Brother-in-law, you..."

His words caught in his throat as he saw Ye Qiu standing at the doorway, looking at him.

"You didn't with Chen Tingting?"

"What's going on?" Ye Qiu asked.

Ye Han mumbled, glancing at Chen Tingting who was sleeping soundly behind him, then looked at Ye Qiu with an awkward smile, "Nothing, nothing!"

Ye Qiu nodded, said, "She drank too much. Let her sleep well. It's late already, so I'll head out now!"

"Hey, brother-in-law, where are you going?"

Ye Qiu said, "My friend is still in the hospital. I can't leave her alone!"

Actually, if Ye Qiu had been willing earlier, Chen Tingting would be his tonight. However, Ye Qiu learned a profound lesson last time with Xu Lei, and he still doesn't know how to deal with Xu Lei right now, so he can't be emotionally reckless anymore!

To say he wasn't tempted, no man would dare say that. Ye Qiu, despite feeling the heat in his belly now, couldn't sacrifice a lifetime of remorse for a moment's thrill.

Ye Qiu left Ye Han's little base, agreed with Zhou Yun on when they'd race, then called him!

Once outside, the cool breeze sobered him up quite a bit.

Looking at the night sky, filled with stars, Ye Qiu's heart felt a touch of melancholy, "I'm about to join the racing team and start my racing career soon!"

Thinking back to his days in the United States, where he had a structured racing life and training, Ye Qiu was very happy then, especially with Lin Xirou's companionship.

"Going back to racing!"

Ye Qiu, at this time, didn't feel the initial passion for returning to competition, but inside, for some unknown reason, he wanted to race a few laps on the professional circuit.

"Now I'm racing not for fame or fortune, but merely to make myself happy."

Ye Qiu nodded, then walked out of the little base, hailed a taxi and headed to the hospital.

...

Upon arriving at the hospital, he saw the doctors were still in Xu Lei's room, seemingly discussing something, which paused Ye Qiu, prompting him to stride over.

Upon seeing Ye Qiu arrive, the doctor apologetically said to him, "You're the patient's family member, right? I regret to inform you of something."

Ye Qiu's heart skipped a beat, he swallowed his saliva and said, "It's okay, please go ahead!"

The doctor said, "After consulting among our specialists, we've established the patient cannot recover. Our hospital lacks this capability..."

Bam.

Ye Qiu's calf weakened, causing him to stagger and almost fall, but only by the doctor's support did he remain upright.

"Are you alright?" The doctor asked worriedly.

Ye Qiu shook his head, then shuffled over to Xu Lei.

Gazing at Xu Lei on the hospital bed, her face devoid of color, eyes tightly closed, her breathing faint and weak, Ye Qiu extended a trembling hand, lightly stroking Xu Lei's cheek.

"Ms. Xu, I wronged you..."

Ye Qiu choked up, thinking of how this woman, his truly first, who shielded him from bullets, would now spend her life lying on the hospital bed, becoming a vegetative state, Ye Qiu couldn't help his heart from trembling involuntarily.

"Lei, rest assured, I will fulfill my promise. I will care for you forever, stay by your side forever, and never let you be alone..."

Ye Qiu took a deep breath, then leaned over Xu Lei, unable to hold back the tears in his eyes any longer, and quietly began to sob.

In reality, Ye Qiu was still just a child. Although he'd been through much, making him more mature than his peers, bearing such a burden would be unacceptable to anyone.

A living person becoming a vegetable, a person in the prime of life to forever lie on a cold hospital bed.

And it all happened because of him, and this woman even gave her first to him.

The guilt, remorse in Ye Qiu's heart, and all these emotions surged like a tide at this moment.

...

"Ah! Such devoted love..."

The doctors watching Ye Qiu cry also sighed and shook their heads. Witnessing Ye Qiu's tearful appearance at this moment moved them as well.

One doctor, wearing black-rimmed glasses, said, "Why don't we tell him about that option!"

"Will it help? The chances are extremely low, telling him is pointless!"

The doctor with black-rimmed glasses looked at the heartbroken Ye Qiu, pondered briefly and decided, "We should tell him anyway. People need goals, and we need hope."

With that said, he walked over to Ye Qiu, patted his shoulder, and said, "Young man, let me tell you something. Actually, there is a way for your friend to recover!"
