The hotel where Momo stayed was not far from the farmhouse hotel from last night.
A few minutes later, Huo Song appeared outside her room door, and his knocking simultaneously drew out the bodyguards living across from her.
Momo opened the door for Huo Song and let him in.
"Junior sister, are you sick? Your face is very red."
After the floor-to-ceiling curtains were opened, Huo Song immediately noticed Momo’s unusually flushed face. He stepped forward, grabbed her hand that was pressing on her forehead, and placed the back of his hand against it.
His attractive eyebrows furrowed as a result.
The concern in his eyes turned into worry, "Junior sister, you have a fever."
"Fever?"
Momo stared at him blankly. Because of her headache, she forgot to struggle free from his hand.
"I’ll take you to the hospital."
Huo Song frowned and said seriously.
"It’s just a headache, I don’t need to go to the hospital. I brought some mon medicines from home, including fever reducers. Even if it’s a fever, taking some medicine will be fine."
"No way, you’re not a doctor, you can’t just take medicine casually."
Huo Song’s face was posed, his attitude firm, his tone unprecedentedly serious.
As he spoke, he let go of her, walked over to pick up her phone, returned to grab her, and headed toward the door, "Since I’m here, I can’t let you stay sick without seeing a doctor."
Momo had never seen Huo Song so serious.
He led her out of the room, into the elevator, down the stairs, and out of the hotel.
She looked back and saw two bodyguards silently following them.
"I’m taking my junior sister to see a doctor now, if you want to e along, then e." Huo Song said, continuing to lead her away.

After finishing her call with Tang Jinchen, Gu Zhitong dialed Ye Zhan’s number.
This was a number she had seen on Momo’s phone before, and when Momo deleted Ye Zhan, she memorized it.
The phone rang a few times, and Ye Zhan’s voice came through, "Hello."
"Ye Zhan, this is Gu Zhitong..."
Just as Gu Zhitong finished introducing herself, she heard Ji Anyun’s voice from the other end of the line, "Ah Zhan, I made this breakfast myself..."
"..."
Damn!
Gu Zhitong hung up the phone, cursing in frustration.
On the other end, Ye Zhan looked at the suddenly ended call record.
He looked up to see Ji Anyun standing by the hospital bed, holding a steamer basket, her expression gentle and caring.
The atmosphere around him suddenly turned cold, "Take it away, I don’t like eating buns."
Ji Anyun’s face turned pale.
Her eyes welled up with a sense of grievance as she looked at him blankly, "You don’t like buns? Then I’ll go get you something else for breakfast. What do you want to eat?"
"I’ve been busy these days, and there are things I haven’t had a chance to tell you." There was no sign of warmth in Ye Zhan’s cold and stern features.
Looking at Ji Anyun’s aggrieved and humble demeanor, an inexplicable sense of disgust arose in his heart.
Images of Momo’s indifference from last night flashed before him, and he said mercilessly, "The rumors online last time were just rumors. I don’t want you to overthink it. I don’t like you, so don’t waste your time on me anymore."
...
When Chu Junming arrived at the hospital, Ji Anyun ran out.
Ye Zhan saw the breakfast Chu Junming was carrying.
"Why are you here?"
"How could I not e? Second brother said the injury on your hand got worse."
Ye Zhan was very annoyed.
Chu Junming handed him the breakfast, kindly saying, "Take a few days to heal properly, don’t let your hand get disabled."
"It won’t be."
Ye Zhan took the breakfast from his hand.
Chu Junming squatted down, picked up the buns Ji Anyun had left behind, and threw them into the trash can.
He looked up to see Ye Zhan focused on eating the breakfast he bought, lightly curved his lips, "What did you do to Ji Anyun, she was crying so sadly just now."
"I made things clear to her."
"Made things clear?" Chu Junming raised an eyebrow in surprise.
He pulled over a chair, sat down, and leaned forward to look at Ye Zhan on the hospital bed, "You didn’t tell her you were using her before, did you? How did you make things clear to Ji Anyun?"
Ye Zhan swallowed the food in his mouth.
A shadow of gloom settled between his brows, and a dark hue filled his eyes, "Maybe I was wrong before."
"What do you mean?"
Chu Junming looked at Ye Zhan in confusion.
He felt that there was something unresolved that troubled Ye Zhan.
"Big brother, is it because of Momo? You did that for her before, and when you explain it to her in the future, she’ll understand you."
"How long is the future?"
Ye Zhan’s lips curled in a self-mocking smile.
This smile made Chu Junming’s heart tighten at the sight.
He subconsciously called out, "Big brother."
Ye Zhan lowered his head, gazing intently at the bun in his hand.
Listening to Chu Junming’s warm voice saying, "Big brother, you’re not Uncle Ye, and Momo isn’t Auntie Ye. What happened back then won’t happen again."
