"It's late now. Have some sleep. I'll tell my secretary to investigate the woman tomorrow," said Leng Shaoming. After Zhan Zhiyin came back, he said nothing about her secret. He wasn't avoiding it, but there was no need to ask about it since he was already aware of the secret.If he brought it up, both of them would be embarrassed.
"Good night." Zhan Zhiyin replied.
"Good night," said Leng Shaoming.
However, that night neither of them could sleep. During the next few hours, they stayed awake in their own thoughts.
They knew neither of them was asleep, but no one said anything.
They didn't sleep until 3 am.
At 6 am, they woke up. Looking at each other, they were still a little uneasy.
"You're awake so early! Why don't you sleep for a while longer?" asked Leng Shaoming. He honestly didn't know what to say.
"I'm used to getting up early," said Zhan Zhiyin.
"What do you want for breakfast? I'll go buy it for you," asked Leng Shaoming, getting out of bed.
Zhan Zhiyin wanted to stop him, because she didn't want to bother him, but it wasn't a big deal. "Congee with pork and century eggs please," she said.
"What else?" asked Leng Shaoming.
Zhan Zhiyin thought for a while, then said, "A glass of soy milk."
"And?" asked Leng Shaoming again. He was afraid that Zhan Zhiyin might be too shy to tell him what she really wanted to eat.
"That's it. Nothing else," said Zhan Zhiyin. Normally, she had a very simple breakfast.
"Great, I need to wash up first," said Leng Shaoming, then he went to brush his teeth and wash his face. A few minutes later, he walked out and said to Zhan Zhiyin, "I'll be back in a while."
Hearing that, Zhan Zhiyin felt touched and was filled with happiness.
Happiness was very simple. When you were in love, a loving sentence could fill you with it.
"Sure," said Zhan Zhiyin.
After that, Leng Shaoming went out.
When Leng Shaoming was gone, Zhan Zhiyin got up and washed up too.
After washing herself, she gazed out of the window.
She now had mixed emotions. Although Leng Shaoming said he could accept the fact that she was a half monster, they weren't girlfriend and boyfriend yet, which made her feel worried.
She understood that it would take time, but she couldn't wait to hear a definite answer since she was deeply in love with him.
…
About twenty minutes later, Leng Shaoming got back. He bought two servings of congee with pork and century eggs and soy milk.
Leng Shaoming ate the same food as Zhan Zhiyin.
After breakfast, it was nearly 7 am, so Leng Shaoming's secretary came.
Leng Shaoming had a screen capture of the woman and the license plate of her car, then he sent the pictures to his secretary and told him to investigate it.
"Oh, will she come again to make sure whether you've drunk the glass of water and had an accident?" said Zhan Zhiyin.
"It's possible, but she's just a pawn, so we don't need to care about her. Most importantly, we need to catch the mastermind," said Leng Shaoming.
"Right," said Zhan Zhiyin.
"Let's leave the hospital in a while. We can go to have delicious food," said Leng Shaoming.
Zhan Zhiyin smiled and agreed. "Sure!"
During the morning, Leng Shaoming didn't give Zhan Zhiyin a definite answer, because he had his own plans. He planned to do something romantic.
Because Leng Shaoming didn't talk about it, Zhan Zhiyin said nothing. She thought he needed time to completely digest it.
Anyway, since he said he was willing to accept her, they would get together sooner or later.
Like Zhan Zhiyin said, the mastermind might send someone to check on Leng Shaoming's condition today. They wanted to know whether he had drunk the water and what happened afterwards.
At about 8 am, a strange man walked forth and back outside Leng Shaoming's ward, but there were too many people walking by, so no one noticed the man's strange behavior. Even though they saw it, it had nothing to do with them.
Leng Shaoming and Zhan Zhiyin stayed in the ward and didn't see the man. Even if they saw him, they wouldn't pay special attention to him.
The man waited outside for an hour, but didn't see anything wrong in the ward, so he thought that Leng Shaoming might not have taken the water.
Therefore, he walked away.
…
At about 10 am, Leng Shaoming and Zhan Zhiyin were discharged from the hospital.
Because Leng Shaoming's car was useless now, they could only take a taxi.
Then Leng Shaoming took Zhan Zhiyin to a private clubhouse.
"Are you sure we're going to have lunch right now? Isn't it too early?" asked Zhan Zhiyin. It was slightly past 10 am, and she usually had lunch at about 12 pm.
"The club over there is by the lake. We can row a boat in the lake. If you don't want to eat so early, we can row first," Leng Shaoming said. In fact, he took Zhan Zhiyin there so early in order to row a boat with her for a while.
"Why not!" Zhan Zhiyin answered. Even though she didn't have many hobbies, she felt she would be interested in everything as long as she was with Leng Shaoming.
About twenty minutes later, Leng Shaoming and Zhan Zhiyin arrived at this private clubhouse.
Because it was a private clubhouse, it was located farther from the city center for quietness and space.
Only members could go inside, and they needed to swipe their membership cards or show their electronic membership cards before getting in.
The membership card was just a card, while the electronic membership was bound to their mobile phones. They could directly take out their phones and show the code.
It was convenient to use an electronic membership card, but a concrete card was still useful sometimes. Although a membership card was needed, they could use their friends' as well. It didn't have to be the owner of the card.
In addition, the services here were expensive. Only the rich and powerful could afford it.
It had a great environment with a lot of entertainment and most people could spend a whole day there once they came.
Leng Shaoming was a member of this club and had a good relationship with its boss.
Although Zhan Zhiyin had come to the capital to see him many times, this was the first time that Leng Shaoming took her here, because this club wasn't open until last week.
At the door of the club, Leng Shaoming showed his electronic membership card to get in.
Right as Leng Shaoming and Zhan Zhiyin walked in, the club manager came to welcome them.
