Starlight Has No Past
Chapter 41 Part 2

Zhou Tingshen kicked the rest of Gu Jin's sentence under the chair along with his body, plopping right on top of the flowers. Zhou Tingsheng knelt down and knocked on the chair with his fingers a couple of times: “I'm asking you, whether you know?”
Each crisp knock echoed down the empty hallway.
There was a disheartened look in Gu Jin's eyes on his disheveled face. His mouth faintly moved a couple times: “......I know.”

This was the first time Zhou Tingsheng had hit someone ever since that incident. At this point, all jealousy, hatred, and urge to break Gu Jin into pieces had become meaningless. With a calm demeanor, every curse in his mind became one sentence as it came out of his throat: “Ye Qiao was blind falling for you in the past.”

Zhou Tingsheng stood up and coldly said: “Don't talk about compensation, you're not qualified.”
Zhou Tingsheng straightened his back and walked back into the room.
The thin door shut in front of Gu Jin. He sat up with a dull pain in his ribs. His a.s.sistant happened to arrive at the time and was shocked: “What happened Director? Ouch, your forehead, let's go downstairs and take care of that first……”

Zhou Tingsheng walked over to the bed. It was now quite outside.
Ye Qiao was deep asleep, looking quite carefree and innocently sweet. Zhou Tingsheng focused on her eyelashes and became lost in his own thoughts. After a long while, he smiled as if he had just survived a disaster.

Ye Qiao didn't wake up until noon time. She opened her eyes and saw Zhou Tingsheng awkwardly putting flowers into the vase. The flowers were from her agency. Ye Qiao couldn't help but chuckle seeing Zhou Tingsheng handle the flowers as if they were daggers.

Zhou Tingsheng turned around after hearing a light chuckle: “You're wake?”
“En.” Ye Qiao noticed that he seemed to be preoccupied with something and asked, puzzled: “Why the face?”
Something flashed by in his eyes, but he deflected: “Nothing. Are you hungry?”
Ye Qiao was very experienced at staying in the hospital: “How can I eat food now. And a liquid diet tastes so bad, I'll just have an infusion.”
Zhou Tingsheng frowned but with a smile: “You've just woken up and somehow become a picky eater right away. Can't you be more like a patient?”
“This is no big deal. This has been opened up before.” Ye Qiao pointed at her heart and gestured up and down, telling him a horror story as if it was nothing.
Zhou Tingsheng pushed her hand down: “You're feeling good?”
“En…...much better.”
Zhou Tingsheng touched her palm, it had gone back to her normal temperature. He lightly kissed her lips: “Not bad, you recovered pretty quick.”

Qianxi happened to come in the room just then with a nurse to change Ye Qiao's dressings. She covered her eyes and yelled: “Ahhh, see no evil!” Ye Qiao buried her face in the white pillow. Given that she was imperious most of the time, it was rare to see Ye Qiao so embarra.s.sed. Zhou Tingsheng even took the chance to pinch her red earlobe and whispered in her ear: “Are you shy?” Ye Qiao reached out to pinch him too.

After encountering a similar situation a few times afterwards, Qianxi could totally ignore their public display of affection. She happily came to her cousin's room every day, to have good food and soup. Since Ye Qiao was on a liquid diet in the beginning, Zhou Tingsheng cooked soup for her every day. All the solid ingredients in the soup, such as the chicken and goji in chicken soup or the corn, carrot, and spare ribs in spare rib soup all went into Qianxi's bowl. Qianxi came to work every day in high spirits; Ye Qiao's hospital room had turned into Qianxi's private dining room.

Qianxi knew she had to appreciate the person cooking all the food and repeatedly confessed to Ye Qiao: “It was I who was too ignorant to recognize such a good man. I was too sn.o.bbish to have looked down upon him. I didn't know what I was talking about before……” She deeply regretted the fact that she had tried to prevent Zhou Tingsheng from getting closer to Ye Qiao.
Ye Qiao laughed at how shameless Qianxi had become: “He feeds you dog food for a couple days and you start to wag your tail at him?”

That was exactly what Qianxi was doing! Zheng Xishuo came to the hospital everyday, his intent hidden from everyone. Qianxi would always bring him into the room while Ye Qiao was asleep! Qianxi proudly said: “A dog is lucky to be fed this kind of dog food!”

Then Qianxi began to complain: “My dad is so stingy. He won't even give me spending money. I have to make a harsh living with my meager intern wage. I even have to count my money before I can have a bite of meat! All my cla.s.smates say that they have never seen such a miserable member of the second generation of a rich family!”

Zhou Tingsheng walked in the room after washing all the dishes and heard the ending part of Qianxi's complains: “What are you talking about?”
Ye Qiao shook her head to say it was nothing. Qianxi turned her head around, using both of her hands to make ears on top of her head, and moved her hands: “Woof-- --”

In a few days, Ye Qiao was allowed to have light, solid food. Qianxi still came over to share her food. Zhou Tingsheng would even cook some dishes with a stronger taste for her. But, he then found out that Ye Qiao would sometimes sneak a few bites from Qianxi's dishes. Since she was the patient, no one was willing to be too strict with her. Some of the dishes ended up in Ye Qiao's stomach. After a while, Zhou Tingsheng stopped making extra meals for Qianxi.
Qianxi was saddened but didn't complain. Ye Qiao however was not happy about the change and depressingly laid in bed.
