Chapter 052: Feelin’ Really Good
That disinfectant smell unique to hospitals filled his nose. The surroundings, though, were quiet.
Qi Yu stared blankly as the doctor applied the red antiseptic solution on him — Because of his punch, the knuckles on the back of his hand were scratched.
“Okay, there are no major problems,” the doctor finished treating the wound for him, and gave him a sideways look. “You young ones shouldn’t be so impulsive in the future…”
After speaking, he got up and went out. Xu Jing walked in and asked, “Feeling better?”
Qi Yu lowered his head, his expression was still swinging from clear to gloomy.
After the incident, Xu Jing handled everything as quickly as possible. He contacted the people he had to contact and sent the few of them who were injured to this private hospital.
Looking at Qi Yu, who had been silent all this time, Xu Jing sighed and comforted him, “Don’t worry, it’s nothing serious. Tang Weiye is already awake. He just has a slight concussion. The doctor said he should be better after about ten days of rest.”
Qi Yu nodded.
Xu Jing added, “I just talked to them and asked them what they want to do with this matter. If they wanted to contact their elders or if they wanted to settle this privately…”
Qi Yu asked indifferently, “What did they say?”
“When I mentioned contacting their elders, they all said no. Maybe they’re also feeling guilty.” Xu Jing smiled helplessly. “Besides, they’re all kids of business families. They know to weigh the advantages and disadvantages. This kind of small fight is pretty common among the rich second generation in China.”
Qi Yu slowly got up and said, “I’ll go see them.”
“You’re going to see them now?” Xu Jing was stunned, “You’re not angry anymore?”
“Didn’t you hear Si Hang? These are all ‘our own people’? Qi Yu’s mouth twitched up, but his eyes were still cold. “After all, I hit first. After a hit, you’ve got to give candy, right?”
Xu Jing: “…”
Xu Jing first led Qi Yu to the private room where Si Hang was resting.
Si Hang wasn’t badly injured, but he’d suffered a punch and gotten a nosebleed. He was currently leaning against the hospital bed, having already been treated. His nose was stuffed with two balls of cotton, and his face was slightly red and swollen.
Zhu Lin was sitting on the edge of the bed, chatting with him. It seemed that it was rare to see Si Hang suffer a beating and unexpectedly, the other was even taking a bit of pleasure in the other’s misfortune. It was unknown what they were talking about but their words were strewn with curses.
Seeing Qi Yu come in, the ward suddenly became quiet.
Si Hang glared at him, obviously still angry at the unexpected disaster he’d suffered.
“Si Hang,” Qi Yu walked to his bed, his brows furrowed slightly. His voice carried with it a hint of guilt, “I was impulsive just now. I only wanted to beat that bastard Tang Weiye. I didn’t expect to hurt you by mistake. If I’d clearly seen it was you, I definitely wouldn’t have hit you.”
Si Hang: “…”
Qi Yu leaned forward and touched Si Hang’s wound with his injured hand. He said worriedly, “Are you alright?”
Si Hang hissed with pain. “D-d-d-on’t touch me, f-f-f*ck!”
Qi Yu couldn’t hold back and let out a “pft” of laughter.

Si Hang said angrily, “You’ve still got the f*cking nerve to laugh at me! I’m just collateral damage in your sh*t!”

Si Hang avoided Qi Yu’s hand and mumbled, “My relationship with my brother is not as good as your relationship with yours. He only gives me money and doesn’t feel like bothering with me…”
Qi Yu’s eyes flashed. No wonder Si Hang could make that kind of joke at the dinner table…
He spoke with Si Hang for a while, and when Si Hang’s attitude had eased up, Qi Yu went to see Tang Weiye next door.
The atmosphere in Tang Weiye’s room was much more oppressive than that in Si Hang’s. There was someone accompanying him, but neither of them spoke. One was lying there blankly, and the other was sitting to the side playing with his phone.
It seemed that Tang Weiye never expected Qi Yu to visit him. From the moment Qi Yu entered the room, Tang Weiye stared fixedly at him, his eyes contained a mix of surprise, anger, and sadness.
Qi Yu walked over to him. He looked at Tang Weiye’s head wrapped in white gauze like a mummy, and asked mockingly, “What, have I beaten you stupid?”
Tang Weiye: “…”
Qi Yu leaned closer, and asked in a low voice, “Or have I finally knocked some sense into you?”
He had totally two different attitudes towards Si Hang and Tang Weiye.
Tang Weiye looked at him, the sadness in his eyes overwhelmed his anger a bit. He said, voice hoarse, “Qi Yu…”
“It’s no use pretending to be pitiful,” Qi Yu narrowed his eyes and threatened with a smile that was yet not a smile, “Next time you get any smart ideas, you better believe I’m going to beat you up.”
Tang Weiye watched Qi Yu smile at him and it was like he’d been pulled under a spell. He was obviously the one who’d been beaten, but he found himself apologizing to the other person instead. “Don’t be angry, those things we were saying at the dinner table, we were joking… …”
Qi Yu snorted slightly, and his tone eased a little. “Rest up. I’ll see you in a couple of days.”
There was a glimmer of hope in Tang Weiye’s eyes. He struggled to prop up his body. He looked at Qi Yu’s retreating back and asked, “Can you…not blacklist me?”
Qi Yu paused and then walked out without looking back.
After leaving the ward, Qi Yu saw Xu Jing and Xu Yizhou standing in the private lounge, chatting. Qi Yu went over and said hello, “Secretary Xu.”
Xu Yizhou looked helplessly at him and said, “I left for just a moment, how’d you end up fighting?”
Qi Yu: “I was impulsive.”
Xu Yizhou sighed. “President Xu has already explained it to me. Si Hang and the others are children and sometimes they shoot their mouths off. Don’t lower yourself to their level.”
“I’m sorry. I will restrain myself in the future.” Qi Yu stretched out his hand, “I’ve caused you trouble.”
Xu Yizhou shook his hand. “It’s fine, it’s nothing. I handle all kinds of things for them every day, I’ve gotten used to it…”
Xu Jing said, “I was just telling Secretary Xu that we will be paying the medical expenses for Si Hang and the others.”
Qi Yu: “As it should be.”
After bidding goodbye to Xu Yizhou, the two left the hospital.
From beginning to end, the entire matter took two hours. Finally, the curtains were drawn on this complete farce.
Xu Jing called the car and first sent Qi Yu back to the hotel. After getting in the car, he sighed with emotion, “I’ve known you for so many years but this is the first time I have seen you charge in so violently to a fight.”
Qi Yu: “…”
Xu Jing looked at him and asked with a smile: “Are you open to an interview? How did it feel like to fight?”
Qi Yu closed his eyes, thinking about that scene from the restaurant two hours ago.
Because he’d used too much force delivering that punch, the muscles in his right arm were still slightly cramping and the broken skin on the back of his hand was still stinging.
But he hadn’t felt any fear at the time. On the contrary, he’d felt excited. — He knew that violence was wrong, but at that moment, it was like he’d released the long suppressed emotions in his body and he was feelin’ really good…
Opening his eyes, Qi Yu whispered two words. “So cool.”
Xu Jing: “…”
However, the expression in his eyes had return to its usual calm. “Don’t worry. It won’t be like this next time.”
While he’d been sitting in the examination room, Qi Yu had already reflected on it.
It felt cool to vent your emotions without any scruples, but after venting, you’d still need to consider so many problems — Today, he’d been lucky that it was Si Hang and Tang Weiye. He was lucky that Tang Weiye woke up, lucky that it hadn’t devolved into a bigger commotion… He’d been lucky that he was Qi Yuancheng’s son.
If he’d been someone else, if he’d hit someone else, if he’d lost control a little bit more, the situation wouldn’t have been so easy to deal with.
Moreover, even after, he still had to endure his impatience and make use of Si Hang’s goodwill towards him and Tang Weiye’s desire for him to resolve this deadlock.
Money, emotion, time — You had to pay such a high price to do one impulsive thing.
Qi Yu reminded himself that he must never make the same mistake again in the future.
He hoped to become a calm and wise mature man like Fu Yansheng, not a violent person.
Xu Jing looked at him for a while. Then, he suddenly said, “I thought I already understood you well, but I just found out that my understanding of you is still too little.”
Qi Yu was about to say something when the car stopped. They had already arrived at the hotel.
“Oh, right,” Xu Jing took out a phone from his pocket and handed it to him. “When you were fighting with them just now, your phone fell out.”
Qi Yu took it over and thanked him. Xu Jing said again, “Take a good rest. If you feel unwell, ask for a leave tomorrow. Don’t go to work.”
Qi Yu answered with an “en”. “You go back and rest too…”
He opened the door and got out of the car. When he entered the hotel, Qi Yu was surprised to see Fu Yansheng and Qi Feng sitting on the sofa in the lobby, chatting.
When he entered, Fu Yansheng also saw him. He got up first and walked towards him.
“I called you so many times, why didn’t you answer?” The man asked once he got close.
Qi Yu was a bit surprised. He took out his phone and unlocked it. There was nothing displayed on the screen. After opening the call log, he saw five missed calls on top, all of which were from Fu Yansheng and all of them were made within the last two hours.
Strange. Xu Jing must have heard Fu Yansheng’s call. Why didn’t Xu Jing tell him?
“My phone wasn’t with me. I got it back just now. I didn’t see it,” Qi Yu explained. He didn’t dwell on this trivial matter. He put away the phone and asked them, “Why are you both here?”
Qi Feng hurriedly explained, “I just arrived. I saw Fu Dage sitting here so I approached him and asked. I found out that he was waiting for you.”
Qi Yu: “Didn’t I give you the room card?”
Qi Feng said, embarrassed, “I asked him if he wanted to go up and wait. He said that since you weren’t in the room, it wouldn’t be convenient for him to go up with me.”
Qi Yu: “…”
Qi Yu signaled to Qi Feng with his chin. “You go up first. I’ll just talk with him here for a bit.”
Qi Feng said “Oh” and glanced at Fu Yansheng. The two of them locked eyes, as though they were communicating silently.
After Qi Feng left, Qi Yu asked Fu Yansheng, “Why’d you come looking for me so late?”
Fu Yansheng frowned and stared at the wound on his hand. “Xu Yizhou said that you had a fight with someone. He said you were injured and that you went to the hospital…What happened? You really got into a fight?”
Qi Yu had almost forgotten that Fu Yansheng and Xu Yizhou were friends. However, he found it a little strange, why did Xu Yizhou tell Fu Yansheng everything?
“My skin got torn a bit but it’s nothing serious.” Qi Yu let him have a look. He raised his eyebrows and said, “You came here for this?”
“What he told me was exaggerated. I called you and you didn’t answer, so I was a little worried.” Fu Yansheng looked him up and down, “But seeing how you are, it seems that there has been no flesh lost and not even a strand of hair lost…Alright, if it’s nothing serious, I’ll be heading back.”
Seeing that Fu Yansheng was about to leave, Qi Yu stopped him and said, “You… just came here to see me?”
“What else could I have come here for?” Fu Yansheng raised his hand to look at his watch. “It’s past twelve o’clock. I’ve been sitting here waiting for you for almost two hours. I have to go to work tomorrow.”
“Oh…” Qi Yu was inexplicably felt happy after hearing that he’d waited for him for two hours. “It’s already getting late, so I won’t invite you to go up to chat. How about we have dinner together tomorrow night?”
Fu Yansheng nodded. “Alright, I’ll contact you tomorrow.”
After watching Fu Yansheng leave, Qi Yu returned to his room. Qi Feng greeted him and asked him a few questions about his injury during the fight. Fu Yansheng had probably told him about it downstairs.
Qi Yu told him a bit about it but didn’t want to tell him too much of the inside information. He suddenly remembered the silent exchange Fu Yansheng and his younger brother just had downstairs. Qi Yu was suspicious. He stared at Qi Feng and said, “Qi Feng, I have something to ask you.”

【Little Theater】
Si Hang: F*ck me! Zhu Lin, did you see Qi Yu’s eyes when he was looking at me just now? My own brother has never looked at me so tenderly! Is he poisonous?
Zhu Lin (Dumbstruck): Looks like you actually benefitted from this…
Qin Han (Dumbstruck): Tang Weiye must have really been beaten stupid. He almost got his skull cracked open and even apologized to the guy who beat him! ?
Xu Jing (Dumbstruck): When did the innocent little brother I watched grow up become so vicious?
————
Qi Yu: Qi Feng, I have something to ask you.
Qi Feng: Oops, you may go undetected during the new moon, but at full moon you'll be found out!

Thank you for the chapter… another cliffhanger 🌸
Xu Jing, you idiot, stop provoking our CP! Also, what innocent little brother? Hasn’t Qi Yu always been somewhat vicious, for example, towards Qi Feng, or any of Qi Feng’s „pursuers“? Also, Fu Yansheng specially coming over is cute, but he should have stayed a bit longer! Though I feel like ge got some „insider information“ from Qi Feng…🤔
Thank you for the chapter!!
