Let Me Hug You to Recharge

Perhaps it was the worries on his mind, but time seemed to pass incredibly quickly.

When Fang Zhou finally landed and set foot on his homeland again, he felt a moment of disorientation.

It had only been three or four days since he left, so why did it feel like he had been gone for a year?

“Let’s go, the driver is waiting for us at the entrance.”

While Fang Zhou was lost in thought, Han Xi had already walked past him toward the exit.

Ever since they had confessed their feelings to each other, the old sense of mutual understanding seemed to be gradually returning. A single glance or a small gesture was enough for them to know what the other was thinking.

Han Xi also felt an unprecedented sense of peace.

Although they hadn’t achieved their main goal of finding a suitable kidney donor for Fang Zhou’s sister, at least their relationship had become much clearer.

They both had each other in their hearts, so there was plenty of time for the future.

Han Xi wasn’t in a hurry to ask Fang Zhou to do anything in the next few days. After all, he had more important matters to attend to right now.

And she had her own family and company troubles to deal with.

The best state for them was to each focus on their own responsibilities while still caring for each other. That was enough.

So, when they got into the car arranged by Han Xi’s assistant, Han Xi first instructed the driver to take Fang Zhou to the hospital and then to drop her off at the company.

Fang Zhou hadn’t seen his sister in a few days, so he was probably eager to see her.

As they arrived at the hospital entrance and Fang Zhou was about to get out of the car, Han Xi grabbed his arm.

“What’s wrong?”

Fang Zhou thought Han Xi had something to say, but then he saw the usually cool and composed woman slowly lean toward him.

Her expression was calm, and then she kissed him on the cheek.

The warmth of the kiss spread from his face to his heart, like an electric shock, leaving Fang Zhou in a daze for a long time.

Just like his feelings over the past few days.

Han Xi had become much closer to him, even more reliant on him than ever before. Although they hadn’t explicitly stated it, their relationship felt just like it did during their early days of passionate love.

“I might be busy for the next few days and won’t have time to see you, so I wanted to kiss you to recharge.”

Han Xi’s voice was low, right next to Fang Zhou’s ear, as if she were whispering to keep the driver from hearing.

But in reality, the driver had already adopted a “see no evil, hear no evil” stance, not daring to glance around.

Who could understand? After working at the company for so many years, he had never seen the president so attached to a man!

Just a moment ago, he had accidentally caught a glimpse and nearly had his eyes pop out of his head.

The once cold and ruthless CEO was now showing such a tender side to a man.

It was truly astonishing.

And what did she just say, “recharge”?

Isn’t that something only a teenage girl would say?

It turns out that love really does lower a woman’s IQ, and even President Han is no exception.

Fang Zhou couldn’t help but chuckle softly, then he wrapped his arm around Han Xi’s waist and kissed her back on the lips.

“Is your battery fully charged now?”

His eyes were filled with warmth and affection, like a jar of honey that was about to overflow.

Han Xi felt a sweetness in her heart, more intoxicating than any dessert she had ever tasted.

She buried her head in Fang Zhou’s chest, catching a faint scent of tobacco on him. It was light, but it was there. (tln : ah fang zhou do smoke)

This was something she had never noticed before.

Fang Zhou had started smoking.

Han Xi blinked, realizing that he must have been under a lot of pressure during this time.

Her heart ached as if she could feel the bitterness in Fang Zhou’s heart. She silently tightened her grip on his shirt and made a decision in her mind.

Han Xi let go and pulled away from Fang Zhou’s embrace.

“Alright, I’m fully charged now. You can go.”

Fang Zhou nodded gently, opened the car door, and headed into the hospital.

In the car, Han Xi slowly put away her smile, reverting to her usual cold and ruthless demeanor.

She took out her phone and began contacting her assistant.

“Look into resources in Country M and see if we can find a suitable kidney donor there.”

Han Xi put away her phone and saw her reflection in the black screen.

It wasn’t time to give up yet. Maybe Fang Zhou’s sister would have a stroke of luck, so she had to keep trying.

The black Bentley slowly pulled away from the hospital entrance and headed toward the company.

Meanwhile, Fang Zhou, who had already gone upstairs, was trying to collect his thoughts.

This trip hadn’t been entirely fruitless.

He was just relieved that he hadn’t told his sister what he had been up to. It would have been too cruel to give her hope only to bring disappointment.

Moreover, Fang Wenjing probably didn’t know the full extent of her condition, so he couldn’t let her emotions fluctuate too much.

As he pondered this and stepped into the hospital room, he was surprised to see an unexpected person inside.

Qin Yun.

The woman who had once treated his sister like a plague, who had been too guilty to face her directly, was now sitting on the edge of the bed with a stethoscope, examining his sister?

Not only that, but they were chatting and laughing as if they had known each other for a long time.

Fang Zhou stood frozen at the door, even rubbing his eyes, thinking there must be something wrong with them. Otherwise, how could he be seeing this?

Wasn’t Qin Yun too ashamed to face his sister after almost hurting her before?

So how had things come to this?

What had happened in the few days he was gone to cause such a drastic change?

Before Fang Zhou could process it all, Fang Wenjing noticed him at the door and called out in surprise.

“Brother! You’re back!”

The girl’s excited voice echoed in the room, like a stone thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples that spread outward.

The largest ripple reached Qin Yun, who paused in her actions with the stethoscope and turned to look at the door, where she indeed saw Fang Zhou.

The man was dressed in a black T-shirt and white shorts, with sneakers on his feet, giving him a youthful appearance.

But his eyes looked tired, whether from the long journey or from the worries on his mind, it was clear he hadn’t rested well.

She smiled faintly, stood up, and made room for Fang Zhou, watching as the siblings talked.

“Yes, I’m back. I came to check if our little piggy at home has lost weight or if she’s been eating well.”

Fang Zhou’s teasing tone was as annoying as ever, prompting Fang Wenjing to punch him on the shoulder without hesitation.

The girl huffed and pretended to be upset, saying, “I’m not picky like someone else.”

After a few seconds, she realized something and added, “Wait! I’m not a pig!”

“You’re the pig!”

The once quiet and obedient Fang Wenjing, who had just been calmly undergoing her examination, suddenly became lively, full of the energy of a typical seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl.

The siblings bantered back and forth, showing their close bond.

Qin Yun stood quietly to the side, watching their interaction with a sense of calm.

She realized how foolish she had been to doubt Fang Zhou and to almost harm Fang Wenjing.

This was clearly a strong sibling bond, nothing like what she had imagined.

Everything was her own misguided thinking.

But it was too late for regrets now. This time, she would make it up to them.
