Stealing Your Heart

“Only middle-aged men wear floral prints. They are in denial of their age.”

“Hey, don’t make fun of my fashion preference!” Shao Yun bellowed.

Shao Yun sounded livid.

Qin Ya laughed. “Alright. I shall not mock you anymore, dear uncle.”

“That’s more like it. Also, give me your current address.” Shao Yun only pretended to be angry to enliven the conversation. He knew Qin Ya was probably feeling dreary as she needed to take care of Su Zhan overnight and wanted to cheer her up a little.

Qin Ya told Shao Yun the address of the hospital and the number of the ward she was in.

After that, the two bid goodbye and hung up the phone.

As Qin Ya turned her head around, Su Zhan hurriedly shut his eyes. His heart was thumping violently in his chest.

Su Zhan could sense the imminent danger he was facing. Despite popular beliefs, men were also as sensitive as women to threats in their relationships.

Even though Su Zhan trusted Qin Ya, there was still a possibility that she might grow fond of Shao Yun over time.

Whenever Qin Ya was in C City, she would spend time with Shao Yun. With time, there would be attachments formed between them. It was not a phenomenon exclusive to two humans of opposite sexes. Any human could form a bond with another human if they had quality time together.

Qin Ya went to fetch a pail of water to wipe Su Zhan down.

Su Zhan purposely wriggled his little finger. He needed to get out of his coma sooner as he was scared that Qin Ya might grow tired of him.

I’m not going to let my plan backfire on myself!

Qin Ya noticed the little movement Su Zhan made with his little finger and yelled in agitation, “Su Zhan! Su Zhan!”

However, Su Zhan did not respond. Qin Ya thought she was hallucinating and rubbed her eyes before staring intently at Su Zhan’s hand again. Su Zhan moved his little finger again but this time the motion was of a greater magnitude.

Now, Qin Ya was very sure that Su Zhan’s finger had moved. She ran out of the room to inform the doctor about her discovery.

The doctor came to the room and pretended to perform a checkup on Su Zhan. He thought to himself, Man, this guy is sure good at acting! He should be an actor!
