Chapter 133 The Cat Returns 17
Yi Changfan had already prepared himself for Chen Shao's sarcastic remarks, since their relationship had never been good.
However, to his surprise, Chen Shao took the initiative to tell him everything that had happened that night.
Not only that, Chen Shao also expressed his apology to Yi Changfan, although this apology was mainly directed at Mo Mo.
He admitted that he shouldn't have stood by and watched Zhou Mengqi feed Momo roasted meat, and he shouldn't have continued to stand idly by when Momo was hiding from him out of fear.
Chen Shaocai breathed a sigh of relief upon learning that Momo was safe and sound.
At this moment, Chen Shao sat quietly in the back seat of the car, gazing at the night view outside the window, and took a deep breath.
For some reason, ever since he met Mo Mo, an indescribable feeling of affection welled up in his heart.
Even after learning that the cat belonged to Yi Changfan, he secretly plotted how to buy Momo from Yi Changfan.
But now, witnessing Yi Zeyu's affectionate attitude towards Momo, he understands that it's probably hopeless to make Momo his pet.
When Yi Changfan learned the truth, his long, slender fingers gripped his phone tightly. He knew Chen Shao well; he was arrogant and conceited. The fact that someone like him would apologize to him was enough to prove that he was telling the truth.
Disappointment flashed in Yi Changfan's eyes. Why had Mengqi become like this, spewing lies?
Has the girl who used to comfort him in his darkest moments changed? Or was it that he never truly understood her from the beginning?
Yi Changfan was filled with confusion and bewilderment.
He recalled the moments he had spent with Zhou Mengqi in the past, those warm moments seemed to be right before his eyes, but now Zhou Mengqi felt so unfamiliar to him.
Yi Changfan leaned back in his chair, lowered his eyes, and began to reflect on whether his understanding of Zhou Mengqi was too one-sided.
Inside the hospital room, it was already past midnight. Yi Changfan and Yi Zeyu had been staying there the whole time, keeping watch over Shen Chumo. The driver had tried to persuade them earlier, but to no avail, so he could only return to the car and wait.
As he left, he shook his head, wondering to himself, "It's just a cat, not their child, why are they so nervous?"
Yi Zeyu had been resting against the wall with his back to Yi Changfan when suddenly, his body swayed slightly, and then he slumped limply into the chair.
Yi Changfan noticed something was wrong and stood up to look at Yi Zeyu.
Yi Zeyu's face was pale and his forehead was covered in sweat. Yi Changfan quickly went to Yi Zeyu's side and touched his forehead.
"It's so hot! You have a fever!" Yi Changfan exclaimed.
Yi Zeyu weakly opened his eyes, wanting to say something, but he had no strength.
Without the slightest hesitation, Yi Changfan immediately picked up Yi Zeyu.
"Mo Mo, I'm taking Yi Zeyu to the hospital. You get some rest. I'll pick you up tomorrow," Yi Changfan told Shen Chumo.
Shen Chumo meowed worriedly, indicating that she understood.
I hope he's alright, since he got a fever because of her.
Yi Changfan carried Yi Zeyu and ran out of the hospital. Fortunately, the driver hadn't left yet, and Yi Changfan helped Yi Zeyu into the car.
"Quick! Get to the hospital," Yi Changfan said anxiously.
The driver could tell from Yi Zeyu's appearance that he had a fever, so he didn't say anything and just stepped on the gas and drove off.
Yi Zeyu leaned softly against Yi Changfan's shoulder, feeling unbearably hot all over, so hot that he couldn't even open his eyes.
His consciousness was somewhat blurred; he only felt an unbearable heaviness in his body, as if he were enveloped in flames. Every breath he took was scorching hot, making him extremely uncomfortable.
"Water, I want to drink water," Yi Zeyu murmured, his voice weak and hoarse.
Yi Changfan picked up the water bottle from the car, unscrewed the cap, helped Yi Zeyu up, and carefully fed him water little by little.
His movements were gentle and focused, as if he were afraid of hurting Yi Zeyu. Seeing Yi Zeyu's weak appearance, Yi Changfan felt a complex emotion welling up in his heart.
He never imagined that Yi Zeyu, who was always stubborn and proud, would have such a vulnerable side.
While feeding Yi Zeyu water, Yi Changfan gently comforted him, "It's alright, we'll be at the hospital soon, just hang in there a little longer."
His voice was gentle yet firm, as if it instilled a sense of strength in Yi Zeyu.
Yi Zeyu moved his lips slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he did not make a sound.
He leaned against Yi Changfan's chest, feeling a sense of warmth and security, and gradually fell into a coma.
When Yi Zeyu woke up, he saw a white ceiling and a slightly swaying IV tube.
His head was still a little dizzy. He tried hard to recall what had happened before. Gradually, he remembered that he had a fever and fainted, and it was Yi Changfan who brought him to the hospital.
He slowly turned his eyes and saw Yi Changfan asleep by the bedside.
Yi Changfan looked tired, and his hair was a little messy. Yi Zeyu felt a pang of emotion, a complex feeling welling up inside him. He hadn't expected that Yi Changfan would be there to take care of him during his most vulnerable time.
Yi Zeyu stirred slightly, trying to sit up, but the slight movement startled Yi Changfan. Yi Changfan looked up and saw that Yi Zeyu was awake, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes.
"You're awake? How are you feeling?" Yi Changfan asked.
Seeing Yi Changfan's nervous expression, Yi Zeyu opened his mouth but didn't know what to say. In the end, he simply shook his head gently to indicate that he was fine.
A quiet atmosphere lingered between the two. Yi Zeyu suddenly felt embarrassed, and a faint blush appeared on his earlobes. It just so happened that Yi Changfan had seen him at his most embarrassing moment. Yi Zeyu raised his fist and coughed lightly twice.
Yi Changfan frowned slightly, got up and poured Yi Zeyu a glass of water. Yi Zeyu took the glass, took a sip, and felt his throat feel a little better.
"Thank you," Yi Zeyu said softly.
Yi Changfan was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "I never thought I would hear you say thank you to me in my lifetime."
Yi Zeyu's eyes dimmed, and he turned to look out the window. Two sparrows flew by and perched on a branch, chirping.
“Actually…” Yi Zeyu hesitated, his eyes revealing complex emotions.
The sunlight outside the window shone on his face, but it could not dispel the gloom in his heart.
"Actually what?" Yi Changfan pressed.
After thinking for a long time, Yi Zeyu finally said, "Actually, you don't have to move out of the Yi family. I like Momo very much, and everyone in the Yi family likes Momo very much, so you don't have to worry about what happened today happening again."
Yi Changfan's eyes flickered; he had a feeling that this wasn't what Yi Zeyu was going to say at the beginning.
Yi Changfan smiled calmly and said, "I'm not actually worried that the Yi family will hurt Momo, which is why I'm thinking of moving out. It's because I should have moved out a long time ago. The Yi family... is not my home after all."
