Arriving at the hospital, it was still the Southern Fourth Hospital. General surgery outpatient department, Feng Chengyue had already received the news first and, because she was an intern herself, brought Qiu Mingyan along. After saying hello to the chief physician, they started stitching Yu Xi’s wound first. Yu Xi indeed had a car accident, but looking at the two-inch wound on his forehead, surrounded by others, with a line of young nurses giggling and ready to hand over bandages and antiseptic swabs at any moment. Feng Chengjin, upon arrival, almost wanted to ruin Yu Xi right there, forcing him into inpatient surgery himself! On the side, Qiu Mingyan was meeting Yu Xi for the first time, only shaking his head repeatedly, "The genes of the Feng family are simply defying the heavens, absolutely defying the heavens. They really should be studied, perhaps next year’s academic paper topic..." Seeing Qiu Mingyan was always either making money or trying to oust Professor Li in his career path, Feng Chengyue was embarrassed to trouble the surgical chief, half-laughing at Qiu Mingyan while personally bandaging Yu Xi. Yu Xi was yelling like a banshee, "Ouch, my goodness, Aunt, take it easy!" Feng Chengyue laughed, "Is it ’goodness’ or ’Aunt’?" "Auntie, how about that?" Yu Xi grimaced, tearing his mouth a little further. Seeing Feng Chengjin arrive, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Uncle!" Seeing such a handsome young guy ranked lowest in the Feng family, Qiu Mingyan couldn’t help but shake his head again, unable to imagine how he’d managed to grow sturdily into over 1.8 meters tall under the dual pressure of Feng Chengjin and Feng Chengyue. Feng Chengjin’s face was already as cold as ice, "Is this what you call having surgery?" "I’ve got three whole stitches! Uncle, I’m going to be disfigured and unattractive, isn’t that surgery?" Yu Xi was experiencing such a severe injury for the first time and naturally wanted to complain pathetically. Especially seeing his beloved uncle, he let out his loudest wail. If it were an ordinary day, Feng Chengjin might just spoil him as usual, asking him if he wanted a car or cash, or perhaps a trip abroad to compensate him a bit. But today, under the cuffs of his shirt, Feng Chengjin’s fist slightly clenched. Yu Xi soon noticed Feng Chengjin’s unusual demeanor, especially the look colder than ice, more terrifying than Yama. Scratching his head, Yu Xi murmured, "What’s wrong..." Both Feng Chengyue and Qiu Mingyan noticed Feng Chengjin’s difference as well. Qiu Mingyan twirled his eyes as usual, pretending to see nothing, looking away. Feng Chengyue noticed that in today’s cold weather, her uncle was not wearing a coat, his shirt even had a few wrinkles, and there was a hint of... some lingering woman’s scent, and squinted her distant dark pupils, her lips curled into a smile. Carrying the cold, low pressure continually radiating around Feng Chengjin, his hands pocketed, "Where is the person you hit?" Yu Xi was stunned for a moment, then as if remembered the actual matter, he said, "In the orthopedic inpatient department." After Yu Xi was bandaged up, the group arrived at the orthopedic inpatient department. Through the glass window at the entrance, Yu Xi pointed at the woman inside and said, "Look, it’s her, really she just got a dislocation and some scrapes, she’s not even as injured as me! Yet she’s insisting on going to the police to sue me." Yu Xi described it simply, but Feng Chengjin, upon catching sight of the person inside, narrowed his eyes instantly. The woman inside was none other than someone he also had investigated, and often caused trouble for Gu Zixuan. From the He family mother-daughter duo, it was the daughter — He Xiaoqi. Seeing his uncle’s face becoming even colder instantly, Yu Xi scratched his head, puzzled, "What should I do? Should we go in and negotiate with her about how to settle this? I really don’t want to go to the police station." The speed limit in that place was 40, and he drove 80. As long as the other party sticks to their story, the police could check the surveillance footage, and he’d lose his license... Coincidence? Accident? With a cold face, Feng Chengjin concentrated in thought. After all, Mrs. Zhou had just left Feng Yi not an hour ago...

Seeing the nurses and doctors over there also treating He Xiaoqi’s wound, Feng Chengjin reined in his thoughts and said, "Wait until the injury report comes out." Yu Xi was taken aback, his eyes brightened instantly. Indeed, once the injury report is out, there’s no fear of the other side maliciously extorting him with falsehoods. At this point, Yu Xi admiredly said to Feng Chengjin, "Uncle, you are really amazing." Feng Chengjin didn’t want to talk to Yu Xi and just glanced at him, then walked to sit on a bench outside the ward. Yu Xi followed and sat down next to him, looking around, finding there were no nurses watching him at this moment. Immediately, he pulled out his cigarette pack, wanting to have a smoke for a moment. But before he could put it between his lips, a slender hand next to him reached over and took it away. Thinking his uncle was going to scold him and snap it off, he was surprised when Feng Chengjin directly put it to his own mouth and said, "Fire." Yu Xi was shocked, "Uncle, you actually smoke?" Feng Chengjin shot a cold glance, saying nothing. He just didn’t like smoking, but it’s not that he couldn’t. As a man, what’s so surprising about having a smoke? Feng Chengjin directly took the lighter, lighting up a stick, silently. The act of quietly lighting drew Yu Xi to straightaway feel his uncle today was tall, mighty, and most importantly! So down-to-earth! Immediately, he impulsively lit one for himself, scooting closer to Feng Chengjin’s side, trying to get closer. However, between men, there’s always a difference. Even if it were just a regular smoking action, for him, those little girls at most would say it’s cool. Simply put, it’s more like being cocky. For Feng Chengjin, it was capital "fashion" from head to toe. Not to mention that even at thirty-four, he could still kill with his looks, the mature aura tinged with a bit of melancholy, and amidst the swirling smoke, the pair of half-squinted eyes gazing into the air, lost in some unknown deep thought. All this left Yu Xi utterly mesmerized. He deeply realized that his road in life was still long to walk, with many qualities to cultivate and much mindset to stabilize. But seeing in the end, facing a person who previously never smoked. Only when the stress was particularly high, would he have a few glasses of red wine to sleep, his uncle, Yu Xi thought about it for a moment, couldn’t help but speak, "Uncle, what’s wrong with you? You seem really melancholic today, like you are unhappy." Feng Chengjin was silent for a moment, his eyes barely swept past the freshly applied bandage on Yu Xi’s forehead. Returning his gaze, continuing to smoke silently. Yu Xi continued, "My intuition tells me you’ve definitely encountered something, tell me, who’s troubling you?" Feng Chengjin glanced at Yu Xi more deeply. Eyes fell on the ward behind them. He still said nothing, averting his face at the same time, while the fingers clutching the cigarette butt turned slightly pale. The deep chill made Yu Xi feel even more that his uncle was strangely abnormal today. But what to do if he wouldn’t answer any questions? Recalling those years when his uncle was particularly depressed, often sitting by the window of the old mansion, watching the little girl of his second aunt playing on the lawn, and then not saying a word for a long time, which worried everyone in the Feng family terribly. Yu Xi felt that today’s Feng Chengjin closely resembled the state from those years. Hence, with good intentions and as a nephew showing his utmost sincerity. Also afraid that Feng Chengjin was slipping back into that depressive phase. Yu Xi said, "If you ask me, Uncle, I think you’re just too lonely, you should find a woman. At your age, if you had found a woman earlier, or said you had interest in something, by now the kids would already be grown up!" This time, Feng Chengjin completely paused his hand, and eerily, slowly turned his gaze toward him....
