Summer Vacation Part 2

The two of them continued to bicker until Luo Donghao intervened and they finally settled down. The three of them then walked towards the cafeteria together. On the way, Luo Donghao glanced at Shi Jin's shoulder and leaned over to ask in a low voice, "Did you do it on purpose?"

Shi Jin turned his head and looked at him with a mysterious expression, "No one is saying that I skipped class to play anymore, right?"

Luo Donghao shook his head and couldn't help but laugh, patting him on the shoulder.

......

Life seemed to have settled down again. Everyone went to class, received treatment, and handled their work. Days passed peacefully, and there was a feeling of everything being settled in the haze.

If only everything could really be settled.

In late June, when Shi Jin began his painful preparation for the final exams, a phone call from Lu Shan shattered the tranquility of life.

"Recently, you need to be more vigilant. The official inspections on major organizations have ended, and all the small groups that committed crimes have been eliminated. The most dangerous time has passed, but Meng Qing has started to become restless again."

While reviewing materials, Shi Jin's movements paused as he heard this. He looked up at Lian Jun's phone in his hand.

"What does he want to do?" Lian Jun asked.

"I'm not sure, but I found out that he's still investigating the school where Shi Jin is studying. You know his personality. After Shi Jin tricked him last time, how could he be willing to let it go?" Lu Shan's tone was somewhat serious.

She instructed, "In any case, everyone needs to be more careful, especially Shi Jin. Don't let Meng Qing find out which school he's attending, and don't let Shi Jin be alone. Meng Qing is not like Zhuo Yang. He's very ruthless when it comes to handling things."

Frowning, Lian Jun hung up the phone and looked at Shi Jin. "I'll be more careful from now on," Shi Jin quickly said, hoping to avoid any further discussion about his involvement with Meng Qing.

"But being careful isn't enough," Lian Jun pointed out, tapping his finger on the desk. After a moment of thought, he picked up his phone and dialed Zhang Zhuoyuan's number.

Not long after, another young man with the same name as Shi Jin, who also acted in a high-profile manner, enrolled in a police academy in City C. When Shi Jin discovered this student file, he was stunned and asked, "What is this?"

"It's a diversion," Lian Jun explained, "If Meng Qing tries to investigate your school through official channels or through the line to Xiang Aoting, they'll only find this person and end up barking up the wrong tree."

As Shi Jin flipped through the documents, he couldn't help but feel a little itchy seeing how calm and confident Lian Jun looked while strategizing. He leaned over and hooked his arm around Lian Jun's neck, planting a kiss on his cheek.

Lian Jun looked up at him.

"Is the rehabilitation about to begin?" Shi Jin suddenly asked.

Lian Jun's eyes flickered as he held the back of Shi Jin's head and leaned in for a kiss.

It had been over a month since Lian Jun had passed the active period of the toxin, and his health had visibly improved as his diet returned to normal. His complexion was no longer pale, his sleep patterns had returned to normal, he had gained a little weight, and he had even started to use a wheelchair less.

Uncle Long was happy to report that with the current treatment progress, Lian Jun would be able to completely rid himself of the toxin's torture in just three more months. This was undoubtedly good news, and everyone secretly hoped for the day when Lian Jun would fully recover to come as soon as possible.

Lian Jun himself was also looking forward to it. In fact, since he fell in love with Shi Jin, he had never stopped hoping that he could walk by his side like a normal person.

And now, this wish was about to come true. After the toxins stopped being active, the leg pain that had plagued him for years gradually disappeared. This time, the rehabilitation would be a real rehabilitation.

"Thank you," Lian Jun murmured contentedly, hugging Shi Jin tightly.

Shi Jin smiled and playfully bit him.

......

After a hellish week of studying, the exams finally ended in July. In the early days of the month, Shi Jin welcomed his first summer vacation in college. He quickly said goodbye to Liu Yong and Luo Donghao, who wanted to invite him to play during the summer, and ran to the school gate with his few belongings to find Lian Jun's car.

"Let's go to Fujian!" he shouted happily as soon as he got in the car, extremely excited.

However, Lian Jun had a serious expression on his face and held Shi Jin's hand, saying, "Shi Jin, there's something I haven't told you."

Shi Jin froze, taking in the expressions of Number One and Number Two, who were sitting in the front seat with equally troubled looks. He realized that something bad must have happened. Slowly setting down his backpack, he asked, "What's wrong? Did something go wrong with the treatment or rehabilitation?" As he spoke, he furrowed his brow and nervously grasped Lian Jun's hand, wanting to check on his leg.

"No, my treatment and rehabilitation are fine," Lian Jun quickly stopped him from bending down and said, "The problem is with Fei Yujing. Three days ago, he was attacked by Meng Qing's people on his way to the office. The vehicle he was in had an accident, and he and his assistant were injured. They are now receiving treatment at a hospital in M country. Because you were taking your exams at the time, they asked me to keep it from you, so I didn't tell you immediately."

When Shi Jin heard the news, his mind went blank. He remembered the scene when Fei Yujing left the island and said he was happy to be used by him. His hand clenched tightly as he asked, "How is he? Is he badly injured?"

"He has a broken rib that punctured his lung. He's stable for now, but we need to keep monitoring the fluid in his lungs," Lian Jun answered, patting Shi Jin's head to comfort him. "Do you want to go see him?"

Shi Jin nodded without hesitation, but then he suddenly stopped and looked at Lian Jun.

"I'm fine here. My treatment and rehabilitation are going smoothly. You don't have to stay with me," Lian Jun saw through his thoughts and reassured him. "Do you want to go see Fei Yujing? If so, I'll arrange a private plane for you as soon as possible."

"I'll go." Shi Jin's brow furrowed tightly, his heart already in a panic as he tightly grasped his hand.

Lian Jun hugged him and patted his back, silently comforting him.

......

That night, Shi Jin bid farewell to Lian Jun and boarded the plane to M country with Number Two and Number Five. Before leaving, he made a phone call to Li Jiuzheng to confirm his safety.

On the plane, Shi Jin remained silent, his mind filled with Lian Jun's words about the broken rib piercing his lung, unable to calm down.

Number Two noticed and reassured him, "Don't worry too much. Young Master Jun has already sent a trustworthy doctor to Lawyer Fei's side, and the hospital where he's staying is tightly protected. There won't be any more trouble. They also said that the rib didn't directly pierce the lung, just touched it, so it shouldn't be too serious."

Shi Jin snapped out of his thoughts and shook his head. "I'm worried about the possibility of any lingering effects. After all, it was his lungs that were affected... It's all my fault for being careless. Aunt Lu called to remind me, but I didn't think that if Meng Qing wanted to target me, she wouldn't spare Fei Yujing and Li Jiuzheng, who were close to me at the time. I should have warned Fei Yujing earlier or sent someone to protect him."

Number Two chimed in, "No one expected Meng Qing to be so ruthless, even going after an unrelated lawyer..."

"I shouldn't have called out to Fei Yujing as my brother during the meeting. It was inappropriate and put him in danger," said Shi Jin, feeling increasingly guilty. He noticed Number Two's disapproving gaze and paused, pressing his forehead in frustration.

"I'm sorry, I'm not thinking clearly again. I'm just spouting nonsense. What's the point of saying all this now?" Meng Qing and the others knew that Fei Yujing was his brother, but Shi Jin had been too focused on himself at the time to consider the consequences of his words.

"I didn't mean it that way. It's normal to have wild thoughts when you're worried," Number Two lightly patted his shoulder to comfort him, teasingly adding, "You always act like you're resistant and repulsed by your brothers, but when they're in trouble, you panic like a child. Are you actually a clingy and delicate little brother?"

Shi Jin was taken aback, avoiding his gaze and looking out the window at the night sky. He denied, "No...it's not like that."

But was it really not like that? He couldn't help but space out, images of his older brothers flashing through his mind. He lifted his hand to cover half of his face and lowered his eyes.

......

The next morning, Shi Jin landed in M country and took a private car to the hospital where Fei Yujing was located. Unexpectedly, he saw someone he didn't expect to see there.

"Third Brother?" He looked at Rong Zhouzhong, who was sitting outside the ward with two big dark circles under his eyes, his face full of confusion. "What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be filming in seclusion in Y country?"

After returning to B city, Shi Jin had contacted Rong Zhouzhong and wanted to invite him to dinner, but unfortunately, Rong Zhouzhong was overseas filming and couldn't make it.

When Rong Zhouzhong saw him, he was taken aback and then suddenly became angry. "Why am I here?" he exclaimed. "That workaholic lying in the room is the one to ask! I was filming my drama perfectly fine when suddenly a stranger claiming to be from the hospital called and said my brother was dying, asking me to come and collect his body. What could I do? I had to leave my work and rush over here.

"That cunning Fei Yujing must have known that the filming location was close by and deliberately tricked me into coming. And not only did he trouble me, but he also dragged you into this mess, Xiao Jin. Don't fall for it, hurry back and leave him to fend for himself!"

Shi Jin was a bit confused by his rapid speech, and it took him a while to digest what was said. In the end, he only heard the phrase "collect his body" and was startled. He quickly walked past him and entered the hospital room.

Inside the room, Fei Yujing was leaning on the bed, flipping through documents. He looked calm and normal, not at all like a patient. His complexion was even better than Rong Zhouzhong, who was sitting outside the room.

When he heard the commotion, he looked up and saw Shi Jin standing at the door. He casually waved his hand and greeted him, saying, "You're here. Don't just stand there, sit down. Old Third, pour two glasses of water."

Shi Jin was speechless. Was this really the person who had just been in a car accident?

Suddenly, Rong Zhouzhong poked his head in from outside and exclaimed angrily, "What are you drinking water for? Someone like you only deserves to drink the wind! Xiao Jin, let's go. I'll take you out to eat. Let this sick person die here!"
