Chapter 51

Because he left home so early, some of the malls were not yet open, which made Xia Tianqi change his mind and decide to go to the hospital to see Leng Yue first.

However, one cannot visit a patient empty-handed, so Xia Tianqi specially went to a nearby supermarket to buy a few health supplements.

Protein supplements, vitamin supplements, blood tonics, kidney tonics...

"Let that bitch die from the supplements!"

Xia Tianqi came out of the supermarket with a large bag of nutritional supplements and didn't need to take a taxi because the hospital where Leng Yue was located was nearby, just a three to five-minute walk away.

Since he didn't have Leng Yue's phone number and didn't go to the hospital with her, he didn't know which ward she was in. He had to muster the courage to ask the on-duty nurse, who then told him which ward Leng Yue was in.

Leng Yue's ward was on the 9th floor, a private room. If it were a hotel, it would probably be at least a four-star.

Xia Tianqi stood outside the door and peeked into the ward, finding that Leng Yue was already awake, leaning against the headboard reading a book. Sunlight filtered through the curtains, casting a small shadow on his handsome face.

"This guy is really at ease."

Muttering with a bit of jealousy, Xia Tianqi deliberately put on a stern face and pushed open the ward door.

The door creaked open, catching Leng Yue's attention. He put down the book in his hand and instinctively looked toward the door.

However, when he saw that the visitor was Xia Tianqi, a look of surprise appeared on his face, but it quickly returned to normal as he placed the book on the pillow.

"Don't misunderstand, I just came to see if you're still being a bitch."

"Ha ha." Leng Yue couldn't help but laugh, gesturing for Xia Tianqi to come over and sit down.

But to Xia Tianqi, this smile was a charming one, full of cheap tricks.

Unable to suppress a frown, Xia Tianqi walked toward Leng Yue with the bag of nutritional supplements.

"These are all supplements, but I think you don't need to take any of them except the kidney tonics."

Leng Yue completely ignored Xia Tianqi's verbal attack, not taking it personally. He then slowly said:

"Thank you for what happened last time. I owe you my life."

Leng Yue's expression suddenly became serious, making Xia Tianqi feel uneasy. He quickly interrupted:

"No, don't say that. It makes it sound like I'm the only one you can marry. Last time, we both helped each other. Without you, I would have been dead long ago."

Leng Yue didn't say anything more after hearing this, his face adding a few more complex expressions.

Xia Tianqi also didn't know what to say, as it was unrealistic for him to start showing concern for Leng Yue with all sorts of warm words.

Both of them fell into silence, and the atmosphere in the ward became awkward.

After a while, Xia Tianqi broke the awkward silence:

"I just came to see if you were dead. Since you're fine, I'll leave now. I have something to do later."

After saying this, Xia Tianqi didn't care what Leng Yue would say and was about to turn and leave. But at that moment, he suddenly felt a sharp vibration on his wrist, followed by a somewhat shrill ringing sound.

"Huh?"

Disturbed by the honor watch, Xia Tianqi couldn't help but stop and look at the watch face. He found that a red email was flashing on the watch face, with the words "Event Reminder!" on it.

Upon seeing the words "Event Reminder," Xia Tianqi felt as if a fish bone had stuck in his throat, causing both pain and nausea.

"Another nightmare is coming."

Xia Tianqi sighed in frustration in his heart but still controlled his consciousness to open the email. The email read:

"By the 20th of this month, go to Zhen Shui Ridge Hu Lu Village. Number of participants: 2. Position: Ordinary staff. Name: Xia Tianqi; Leng Yue

Direct supervisor: Fu Haiyi (interim)"

There was no doubt that this was an event reminder email, reminding him to arrive at the event location, Zhen Shui Ridge Hu Lu Village, by the 20th of this month. This was the first paranormal event he would participate in after being regularized.

However, what truly surprised him, or rather, what he never expected, was that Leng Yue's name was on the list of participants. Of course, this surprise came from two aspects: one, Leng Yue was also going to participate in the event with him; and the other, "Leng Yue" was actually his real name.

He had always thought that "Leng Yue" was just his nickname or a name he casually chose, but now it was clear that this was his real name. It wasn't surprising that he thought this way, as the name sounded very much like a woman's name, always making him think of Sailor Moon.

"How did you end up in this event? Did you also go to the Gold Office to sign the regularization contract?"

Xia Tianqi turned around, looking at Leng Yue with full doubt.

"I signed the contract yesterday."

Leng Yue rolled up his sleeve, revealing the honor watch on his wrist. He shook his wrist and said:

"Although the wound still hurts a bit, it's not a problem anymore."

Leng Yue's words left Xia Tianqi speechless, and it took him a while to react, asking in confusion:

"You recovered too quickly. Besides, since you're already fine, why are you still in the hospital?"

"Because I have a slight fever, so I plan to stay here for a few more days for observation."

"..."

Xia Tianqi was really speechless about Leng Yue, really wanting to ask if he could be any more of a cheap trick, as he had never heard of anyone needing to be hospitalized for a low fever.

But no matter what, having someone accompany him on this event was a good thing. He was very clear about how inexperienced he was, and having a skilled Leng Yue by his side would undoubtedly be much safer. Besides, they could be considered old partners.

The "Event Reminder" required them to arrive at the event location by the 20th, and today was the 15th, giving them five days to prepare. However, when Xia Tianqi used the honor watch to search online, he found that Zhen Shui Ridge was a very remote place with no direct flights or trains.

To get there, they would first have to take a train and then a bus to reach Zhen Shui Ridge. To get to Hu Lu Village, they would have to walk.

Xia Tianqi roughly calculated that it would take at least three days to get there.

So, 5 days minus 3 days left them with only 2 days to prepare.

Thinking that in just 2 days he would have to go through another life-and-death event, Xia Tianqi felt as if a huge rock was pressing on his chest, making it hard to breathe.

In contrast, Leng Yue seemed to be fine, showing no signs of fear.
