Chapter 198 Going Home
Ye Wanqing carefully tucked in the corners of the quilt for Su Zimo to ensure that he slept soundly. At this time, Li Meng pushed the door open and walked in, stepping lightly, afraid of disturbing the tranquility.
Her eyes gently swept across Su Zimo's peaceful sleeping face, and she asked softly, "Is he asleep?"
Ye Wanqing smiled slightly, with a gentle look in her eyes: "Yes, I just closed my eyes and was sleeping soundly."
Li Meng approached slowly, carrying a few exquisite small bags. They were lunches she had prepared for the two of them. "Look, I specially picked out some of your favorite foods, knowing you wouldn't have time to eat at noon. Let's go outside and talk while we eat."
Ye Wanqing nodded gratefully. Although the feeling of hunger was not as strong as before, Li Meng's thoughtfulness made her heart warm.
So, the two of them quietly left the ward, found a quiet corner downstairs, sat on a bench under the shade of a tree, and enjoyed their rare leisure time.
Li Meng opened the lunch box, and the aroma of food instantly filled the air. Each dish was carefully selected according to Ye Wanqing's taste.
However, faced with this table full of delicious food, Ye Wanqing only moved her chopsticks symbolically and then put them down.
Seeing this, Li Meng's eyes flashed with worry: "What's wrong? Is it not to your liking? Or are you too tired recently and have no interest in eating?"
Ye Wanqing shook her head gently, a faint smile curling up at the corner of her mouth: "Maybe I've been worried too much lately, and my appetite has also gone on strike. However, I appreciate your kindness."
Li Meng held Ye Wanqing's hand distressedly and stroked it gently: "Seeing you become so thin, it hurts me. Is it because your new book has hit a bottleneck, or is there something else bothering you?"
Ye Wanqing hesitated for a moment, then finally shook her head and nodded slightly, as if even she herself couldn't explain the complex emotions: "Well...some things have been distracting me recently."
Li Meng didn't ask any further questions, but silently handed over a bowl of warm porridge: "If you can't eat, drink some porridge to nourish your stomach. Don't push yourself too much, your health is the capital of revolution."
Ye Wanqing gratefully accepted it, but remained silent, watching the steam rising from the bowl. The topic naturally turned to Su Zimo: "Su Zimo's affairs went viral so quickly, I couldn't stop it."
Ye Wanqing's fingers unconsciously twisted around the corner of the tissue: "Actually, it's not necessarily a bad thing. Since I can't remove it, let it fade away naturally."
She looked up at Li Meng with a hint of concern in her eyes: "Has the police made any progress?"
Li Meng shook her head, a serious look on her face. "There's no definite news yet, but the crew is in chaos. Even the actors from the crew next door have been called in for questioning. Filming has to be put on hold for now."
Ye Wanqing pondered for a moment, then raised a key question: "Su Zimo's injuries are serious, and he will need to recuperate for at least a period of time. Has the crew contacted you to discuss follow-up arrangements?"
Li Meng sighed, as if she had anticipated this question. "They did mention it, meaning they hope to wait until Su Zimo recovers. After all, the filming is nearing the end, and a last-minute replacement would not only be troublesome, but it might also affect the overall effect."
Ye Wanqing has always been confident in Li Meng's ability to handle things: "Then do as you wish. If there is anything you need me to do, please let me know at any time."
Li Meng nodded, a determined light flashing in her eyes. "Don't worry, I will never let Su Zimo suffer this injustice in vain. I will definitely find out the truth and make sure he gets the justice he deserves."
After a few days of calm reflection, Li Meng had a vague idea in her mind. Su Zimo's fall from his horse might not have been a simple accident.
Sure enough, within a week, the police came with news that confirmed Li Meng's guess that Su Zimo's fall from the horse was a malicious human injury.
It turned out that a crew member was caught secretly taking photos of Su Zimo with a fan and was punished. Fueled by resentment, he took the initiative to attack Su Zimo, using drugs to make the horse lose control, leading to the tragedy.
The police investigated every detail of the case and found that the staff member had indeed planned the incident alone out of personal grudge, not under the instructions of anyone else.
When the police's clues gradually converged and pointed to the staff member, he was trying to flee the city in an attempt to evade legal sanctions.
However, the police acted swiftly and apprehended Su Zimo. Since Su Zimo was still recovering in the hospital and unable to go to the police station in person, Li Meng went with her attorney to handle the tedious legal procedures.
Ye Wanqing did not go with him. She chose to stay in the hospital and accompany Su Zimo through this difficult time.
Su Zimo was lying on the hospital bed, but he still maintained an optimistic attitude and jokingly called this accident a "paid vacation."
He looked at Ye Wanqing who was carefully peeling an apple, and a warm feeling surged in his heart. At the same time, he also remembered the unpleasant meeting with Zhang Duoer, and his brows couldn't help but frowned slightly.
"Sister Wanqing, have you encountered anything unhappy recently?" Su Zimo asked tentatively, with some concern in his eyes.
Ye Wanqing raised her head, her eyes gently falling on Su Zimo: "Why do you ask this suddenly?"
Su Zimo pursed his lips, seeming to find it difficult to speak: "I mean... has Zhang Duoer bothered you again?"
Ye Wanqing smiled lightly, with a hint of relief in her tone: "She did come to see me, but I didn't take it too seriously."
As she spoke, she cut the peeled apple into small, delicate pieces and handed them to Su Zimo: "The most important thing for you now is to take good care of your health. Don't worry about anything else."
Su Zimo took the apple, a warm feeling welling up in his heart: "Sister Wanqing, you are so kind. So are you going back to the capital tomorrow?"
Ye Wanqing nodded, with a look of reluctance in her eyes: "Yes, I have been here for a week, I have to go back."
Su Zimo heard this, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes: "So fast... Then you must be careful on the road."
"Yes, I will." Ye Wanqing responded with a smile, but in her heart she was silently calculating the arrangements for after returning.
In the evening, Ye Wanqing returned to the hotel, opened her suitcase, and saw the skirt Su Zimo had given her. A warm feeling welled up in her heart. Although she hadn't had time to try it on, she knew that this thought was more precious than any gift.
The next day, Ye Wanqing got up early, packed her luggage, and prepared to leave. She went to the hospital to visit Su Zimo, and once again urged him to take good care of his injuries before taking a taxi to the airport.
After arriving at the airport, Ye Wanqing found a quiet corner to sit down and wait for boarding. She took out her phone and saw a message from Ji Mu asking about the new book.
Ye Wanqing replied, "There's only one ending left, and I'll be able to submit it soon." Ji Mu sent her a series of encouraging emoticons, which gave her a surge of motivation.
After eating a bowl of hot noodles, Ye Wanqing passed the security check smoothly and boarded the plane back to Beijing. The plane slowly landed at Beijing Airport. Ye Wanqing dragged her suitcase and hurried out of the airport, ready to go home.
However, just as she was about to walk out of the exit, a familiar voice suddenly rang out: "Miss Ye?"
Ye Wanqing subconsciously turned around and saw Zhao Yu and Lin Xuan standing beside him. She was a little surprised. She didn't expect to meet them here.
Lin Xuan nodded gently, with a gentle look in his eyes: "Back from West City?"
"Yeah, I just got off the plane." Ye Wanqing responded with a smile, but she was a little curious about why they appeared here.
At this moment, Lin Xuan's phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the screen and said to Ye Wanqing, "I'll take a call first."
Ye Wanqing smiled and nodded, showing her understanding. She looked at Zhao Yu, who smiled back at her, as if he had something to say but didn't know where to start.
Ye Wanqing dragged her suitcase and prepared to move on. Zhao Yu looked at her leaving figure and felt an inexplicable sense of loss in his heart.
He opened his mouth, but in the end, he only said: "Miss Ye, be careful on the road."
Ye Wanqing smiled and nodded in response: "Thank you, Secretary Zhao, take care of yourselves too."
Then, she dragged her suitcase, slowly walked out of the airport hall, and disappeared into the crowd.
