MGAG: Chapter 98 Part 1

The pink rubber band in the phone camera wasn’t firmly tied. It seemed to loosely hold the forehead hair. The slightly upturned hair did reveal a wider field of view. There seemed to be no problems if he ignored the pink color.

Chen Qizhao’s gaze stayed on the circle of pink for a long time. He felt the urge to reach out and pull it off immediately.

Just a moment before he did it, he caught a glimpse of Shen Yuhuai sitting next to him. The other person’s eyes were also on his head.

Chen Qizhao reluctantly said, “It isn’t pretty.”

It was ugly.

Shen Yuhuai said, “It suits you.”

Chen Qizhao: “……”

There was a click.

Before Chen Qizhao could react, there was the sound of a phone taking photos from the side several times. He tilted his head slightly and saw Zhang Yazhi standing beside him with her phone. She was frantically taking photos of the hair at the top of his head.

Chen Qizhao: “……”

He looked at Shen Yuhuai. “It really isn’t pretty.”

Shen Yuhuai paused. “Then should I tie it for you again?”

Zhang Yazhi finished taking photos and kept looking at them. Seeing Chen Qizhao’s cold face in the photo with the small amount of hair pulled up, her heart softened for some reason. Her eyes couldn’t help staying on the interaction of the two people by the hospital bed. The youngest son of the Shen family had helped them a lot during this time. In addition, there was the matter of the Gu family. This meant the Shen and Chen families had been in contact with each other a lot recently.

For Shen Yuhuai, her initial impression was still that polite child when young. Every time he came to their house, he would play with Chen Qizhao, who was considered a child. The relationship between the two of them had been very good since childhood. It was only later when the Shen family encountered more things, and Shen Yuhuai went to study in B City that their relationship gradually faded. Now it seemed that the relationship between the two of them had recovered since last year.

Shen Yuhuai had never been a character who talked a lot. Zhang Yazhi had been keenly aware of it since he came to the house before. For this reason, she had specially asked Shen Yuhuai’s mother and learned that Shen Yuhuai was a restrained and quiet child. There was indeed a big problem in the Shen family during that time. The siblings of the Shen family might’ve already felt that compared to the outgoing Shen Xuelan, Shen Yuhuai’s mind was more restrained. His interaction with outsiders stopped at the level of politeness.

When Chen Shiming and Shen Xuelan would enter the study to learn, he still didn’t say much, but he stayed by Chen Qizhao’s side, who was still playing around.

There was an age gap, and Chen Qizhao was usually a quarrelsome person. Zhang Yazhi once thought that the two children couldn’t get along, but it didn’t seem as bad as she thought.

Zhang Yazhi lowered her head slightly and suddenly felt her eye sockets becoming a bit hot. She avoided the child and quietly wiped away the tears from her eyes with her little finger.

On Saturday, Shen Yuhuai had the day off and stayed in the hospital to accompany Chen Qizhao.

The two of them didn’t say much. As Chen Qizhao read the journal, Shen Yuhuai sat beside him and read the documents on his phone.

There was a chair next to the hospital bed. Shen Yuhuai casually spread his legs there and held his phone while looking over. From Chen Qizhao’s perspective, he could see the dense English periodicals on the phone. The other person read a bit fast. Not longer after, his fingers scrolled to the next page.

Chen Qizhao had seen this type of scene before. Previously when he was in the hospital, Shen Yuhuai also sat and played with his phone when coming to the hospital to see him.

The atmosphere was no different from before, but Chen Qizhao always had a strange feeling.

When a person was clear-headed, they would always think about some illogical things uncontrollably. For example, yesterday in the bathroom, he nonsensically pressed against Shen Yuhuai for no reason. It seemed that it had been a long time since their relationship was established, and the matter of dating seemed to have become some type of hidden rule, tacitly becoming the norm in the hearts of both of them. This made it so that in uncontrollable times, he just wanted to kiss Shen Yuhuai.

He couldn’t explain this feeling, but it was different from the feeling he had at the hotel or the school’s grilled fish restaurant.

It was as if Shen Yuhuai had never asked anything and only had endless connivance for all his actions.

Chen Qizhao couldn’t explain the logic of his behavior recently.

Was he really dating Shen Yuhuai?

What did Shen Yuhuai think of him?

Questions emerged one after another, and it was difficult for Chen Qizhao to concentrate on the journal. Even though it was talking about the algorithm he was interested in, it wasn’t as vivid as the finger that kept moving in the distance. He lowered his eyes halfway, and his eyes seemed to follow Shen Yuhuai’s fingers. He saw Shen Yuhuai opening a page and then going to the next page.

His forehead was cold. Without the cover of his bags, some feelings were always too clear.

His eyes followed the finger. Intermittent words emerged from his empty mind, and he started to examine his behavior during this time.

Chen Qizhao forced himself to withdraw his gaze and grabbed the phone next to him. Then just two minutes after entering the Tetris game, he received the notification that his battery ran out.

At this time, he noticed the gaze on the side.

“What’s wrong?” Shen Yuhuai looked over.

“The phone is out of battery.”

Hearing this, Shen Yuhuai stood up. He took a tablet from the backpack next to him and handed it over. “The password is 0108.”

The tablet fell into Chen Qizhao’s hands. He saw several apps on the desktop that he didn’t recognize as soon as he opened it.

In addition to information, Shen Yuhuai’s tablet had a variety of practical apps. However, there were no games, and he had to search for a long time in the app store. Shen Yuhuai had just scrolled a page, and behind a certain app on the last page, he saw the Tetris app with the same icon as his mobile app.

Shen Yuhuai’s tablet was often used, and the game app appeared on the last page.

He didn’t play games, but his work tablet has an extra game app that was recently downloaded.

Chen Qizhao couldn’t help glancing toward Shen Yuhuai. The other person was close, and he could see everything on the phone at a glance.

The other person didn’t seem to be reading those English journals any longer. There was a newly opened document, and there were several chemical structural formulas when he swiped over it.

Chen Qizhao clicked on Tetris. The sound of the game was particularly loud.

Zhang Yazhi glanced over. She saw that Chen Qizhao was playing a game and quickly looked back at her work draft.

Chen Qizhao quickly turned off the sound of the game. Shen Yuhuai’s VX account had already been logged in, and his profile picture was of fireworks by the sea. He clicked it to play a few games, but soon quit with no interest. His eyes stayed on the tablet’s phone gallery app for a while, but he didn’t click in. Finally, he clicked on the browser next to it.

The room was quiet without the sound of fingernails touching the tablet.

The tablet in the distance seemed to have stopped on a certain Internet page for a long time. When Shen Yuhuai swiped his hand to the next page, he looked at the broken English notes. With a slight movement of his hand, he swiped to the previous page of the document and read this paragraph again. During the third repeated reading, Shen Yuhuai raised his eyes slightly and noticed that the browsing page of the tablet seemed to be closed.

Someone was not looking at the webpage, but looking at him.

Shen Yuhuai looked up and met those unshielded eyes. Without the layer of bangs, Chen Qizhao’s eyes seemed a bit brighter than yesterday.

The two of them stared at each other for a while before Shen Yuhuai said, “Hand.”

Chen Qizhao stretched out his hand.

Shen Yuhuai took his hand. Using the cover of his body, the two of them held hands unscrupulously.

Chen Qizhao glanced in Zhang Yazhi’s direction and couldn’t help adjusting his posture. He lowered his voice. “I didn’t want to hold hands.”

“I wanted to.” Shen Yuhuai squeezed his fingers and looked down at the contents of his phone. “Wait for me for a while. I’ll finish reading this article soon.”

Chen Qizhao responded positively and hooked Shen Yuhuai’s little finger.

On the sofa in the room, Zhang Yazhi was still looking at the drawings. On the table were the accumulated design drawings during this time. She didn’t notice that the distance of the two people by the hospital bed was getting closer and closer.

Liu Sui had sent many things. By the time Shen Yuhuai finished reading it, there seemed to be steady breathing next to him.

He looked to the side. The young man had fallen asleep at some point.

Shen Yuhuai was about to lower the hospital bed. But when he left, his little finger was pulled by some force.

He stopped moving and saw that his little finger was circled by the other person.

“Xiao Zhao fell asleep?” Zhang Yazhi’s voice came over. “He will be sleepy after taking those medicines. Perhaps he is sleepy.”

Shen Yuhuai’s eyes dimmed slightly. Once he heard Zhang Yazhi’s footsteps, he carefully pulled out his finger.

Zhang Yazhi lowered her voice and asked, “Yuhuai, will you stay here for lunch?”

Shen Yuhuai had just lowered the hospital bed. He was about to answer when the phone in his pocket vibrated.

Yan Kaiqi’s name was displayed on the screen. He said, “I am busy with something, so I won’t stay here at noon.”

Shen Yuhuai didn’t answer the phone and inadvertently swiped open the phone camera.

Zhang Yazhi felt a bit regretful. She went over to pull up Chen Qizhao’s quilt and gave him Shen Yuhuai’s tablet. “IS this yours?”

Several VX notifications popped up on his phone. Yan Kaiqi and sent him several messages.

Shen Yuhuai turned off his phone. “Yes, tell him this when he wakes up.”

—

After coming out of the hospital, Shen Yuhuai drove to a coffee shop. Soon, Yan Kaiqi came in from outside with a computer bag. He looked around before sitting beside Shen Yuhuai.

“You just came out of the hospital?” Yan Kaiqi sat down next to him and quickly pulled things out. “I called you as soon as the things were restored. But why are you doing this? Your family should have more information than me. Why are you still asking me about this?”

Shen Yuhuai told him, “No, it is best to confirm it again.”

Previously, Gu Shen sent someone to hack Yan Kaiqi’s computer. Later, Shen Yuhuai asked people to check the computer but didn’t find any malicious programs implanted inside the computer. He was mainly curious about how Gu Shen discovered Yan Kaiqi in the first place. Originally, he thought it was by relying on a relationship in the capital, but he always felt that something was missing.

Gu Shen’s social circle here was limited. Aside from Lin Medical, was there any potential contact network?

“All the data that could be recovered is here.” Yan Kaiqi suddenly remembered something when he said this. “Oh yes, one of the things that were originally checked failed to be recovered. Didn’t you suspect the extraction of controlled substances at the beginning? I couldn’t find the copy of the market-approved institutes before the extraction of the controlled substances. It took too long, and I might’ve deleted it in advance.”

Shen Yuhuai was looking at the information on the computer. Then he passed over the tablet from his bag. “It should be there. Save a copy and then check if there is any information change on the institutes.”

With the fall of Lin Medical, there had been too many things happening in S City recently.

“If I knew this, I would’ve brought an extra laptop.” Yan Kaiqi found the information and took photos of the names of several institutes. “I will use your tablet to check.”

Shen Yuhuai looked at the computer intently. “Hmm.”

“Didn’t you make sure there was no problem at the beginning? Why…”

Yan Kaiqi had just clicked on the browser when he suddenly stopped.

Shen Yuhuai noticed his silence and looked up. “What’s wrong?”

Yan Kaiqi turned the tablet over. The few lines of words under the browser search box were particularly eye-catching.

“How to date after confirming the relationship? What is the cold period between couples? F*k…” He was shocked. “Shen Yuhuai, are you in a relationship?”

Shen Yuhuai took back the tablet.
