Rebirth: Ghost Exorciser

20 minutes later, the car stopped at a military hospital. Because of the old man's identity, there was a dedicated person in charge of Grandpa Qi's health at the military hospital. In addition, the environment here was good. Ever since what happened in the Qi family, Grandpa Qi had stayed here to recuperate and hadn't returned to the old residence.

Chi Shuyan was worried about Grandpa's health. She followed the man closely and wasn't in the mood to talk. It wasn't until the two of them took the elevator to the 16th floor that Chi Shuyan realized that it was a little late to rush over and see Grandpa. If Grandpa was already resting, wouldn't she be disturbing him for no reason?

The more Chi Shuyan thought about it, the more she felt that she had been in too much of a hurry to come. If she had thought about it earlier, she would have come to see him in the morning.

But they were almost at the door of the ward. For a moment, Chi Shuyan dithered. She stopped and tilted her head carefully to ask the silent man next to her, "Is it too late for me to see Grandpa now? When does he usually rest? If he's already asleep, why don't I come back tomorrow morning to see him?"

Seeing that his wife had taken the initiative to talk to him after so long, Qi Zhenbai's mood immediately improved and his expressionless face also became a little more animated. Before he spoke, he raised his wrist to look at the time, as if unintentionally, and then said calmly, "Grandpa might indeed be asleep at this time!"

As soon as he said that, Chi Shuyan's heart sank and she hurriedly said, "Then, why don't I come tomorrow morning?"

It was her fault for not thinking things through. It was so late. Wouldn't she be disturbing him if she saw him now?

Father and Mother Qi might also be here at that moment. If she went in now, the elders would probably still have to entertain her, which would definitely disturb Grandpa's rest. The more Chi Shuyan thought about it, the more she felt that was the case. She immediately changed her mind and said that she would come over in the morning.

Qi Zhenbai didn't refuse. His face didn't change as he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll send you back!"

Chi Shuyan's first thought was to refuse to avoid muddling their relationship. Unfortunately, the man next to her didn't give her any room to refuse at all. Not only that, as soon as the two left the hospital, the other party immediately said that it was still early, so why not take a walk together?

When Chi Shuyan heard this, her face froze and the corners of her mouth twitched fiercely. She subconsciously tilted her head to look at the man next to her. Under the light, the man was still impassive, as if his words were nothing more than a passing suggestion.

Chi Shuyan felt that she was thinking too much; when she saw how natural the man's expression was at that moment, she was sure that his words didn't mean anything. She also understood; he had just mentioned it casually and didn't mean anything by it.

However, there was one thing she was very puzzled about. Although an ex-couple didn't have to avoid arousing suspicion all the time, there were fewer cars and people so late at night at this time – was it suitable for a man and woman to take a walk together right now?

Even if they weren't exes, Chi Shuyan wouldn't wander the streets with a man in the middle of the night, unless she had a good impression of him and wanted to woo him!

So, Chi Shuyan naturally refused without thinking and said tactfully, "It's getting late. Someone is waiting for me at home. I have to go back first!"

Chi Shuyan was referring to Chef Li and the others.

However, Qi Zhenbai heard something else. Who knew what he was thinking, but his face suddenly turned livid and his lips trembled, as if he had suffered a huge blow.

Against the light, a bright red light glowed in that pair of dark and reserved eyes.

Chi Shuyan couldn't see through the other party's thoughts. She didn't understand why his expression suddenly turned incomparably unsightly. Not only was it unsightly, his chest heaved violently, as if he was desperately suppressing some emotion. Although his face was still calm, it was too terrifyingly calm at that moment!

What surprised Chi Shuyan even more was the incomparably fierce and complicated pain in the other party's eyes when he looked at her. It was as if he were a husband who had caught his wife cheating on him.

Chi Shuyan didn't think she had said or done anything over-the-top just now. She was stunned by his livid face and forgot what she wanted to say. She stared blankly back at him.

It was only when a cold wind blew past her cheeks that Chi Shuyan came back to her senses.

When she came back to her senses, she realized that she and Qi Zhenbai were glaring at each other by the main road, and the corners of her mouth twitched fiercely. However, she had also experienced this man's volatile mood swings before!

She couldn't be bothered to argue with him, nor did she trouble him to see her off. She said, "It's not too late. I'll just take a taxi back. I won't trouble you!"

With that, she walked toward the road to take a taxi, but the man grabbed her wrist. His grip was too tight. Enduring the pain, Chi Shuyan took a deep breath. She heard the man behind her suddenly say in a deep voice, "I'm a little tired. Sit with me?"

Chi Shuyan didn't answer. The man sounded especially tired and even a little pleading as he repeated, "Sit with me?"

Chi Shuyan looked at the man in shock and disbelief. She vaguely sensed that his mood was abnormal at that moment. She was about to refuse, when she saw the man in front of her enunciate every word with bloodshot eyes and a vicious expression. "Who are you rushing back to see?

"Is he that important to you?

"Is sitting with me for a while now a waste of your time?"

The man enunciated each word clearly, and the veins on his forehead bulged one by one; he was completely on the verge of losing control.

Chi Shuyan was stupefied.

Chi Shuyan was so shocked by the man's uncontrollable emotions that she couldn't react, let alone understand what he meant.

She just wanted to go back to the villa to rest. How did it turn into her not being able to wait to meet someone else? Who did she have?

Fortunately, her phone suddenly rang at that moment, breaking the sudden silence. Chi Shuyan touched her pocket with her left hand and hurriedly took out her phone, planning to find an excuse to run away immediately. As for this man, they would meet again after he calmed down.

However, just as she took out her phone, the man in front of her snatched it away expressionlessly and smashed it into pieces.

Chi Shuyan saw with her own eyes how the screen of her phone shattered and the battery inside rolled out. She was about to glare angrily, when the man in front of her suddenly let go of her hand. He looked especially tired and lonely. "Sorry!"

Chi Shuyan: …
