Can't Bear to Look

When Shen Yi arrived at the hospital, he saw Jiang Zi Tao lying on the hospital bed, his entire body bandaged like a mummy.

Only his hands were somewhat intact, not bandaged, and one leg was even suspended.

He was also connected to all sorts of monitoring equipment; it truly couldn't be described as anything less than "miserable."

He walked to the bedside. Jiang Zi Tao was alone in the room, but the room was extremely luxurious. Shen Yi wasn't surprised; a young master of this caliber couldn't possibly stay in a normal hospital room.

"Brother Tao, what happened to you?" Seeing Jiang Zi Tao still with a cheerful expression, Shen Yi asked curiously.

"Got hit by a car, been lying here for a few days," Jiang Zi Tao said nonchalantly.

"Hit by a car?" Shen Yi felt his mind was a bit slow. An Ability User, at least a Fifth Stage powerhouse.

How could he be hit by a car? With his reaction speed and body strength, it would be lucky if he didn't send the car flying.

Could it be that he was hit by a high-stage Ability User driving a car?

"Your Wish-Granting Card is really useful. Xiao Shi has been coming to the hospital to visit me every day these past few days, talking to me, and she's especially gentle." Looking at his lovesick expression, Shen Yi felt a bit unable to look directly, almost drooling from the corner of his mouth.

"What did you wish for?" Shen Yi suddenly thought that his hospitalization might be a side effect of the Wish-Granting Card, and asked with a guilty conscience.

"That day, after you gave me the card, I wanted to try it immediately. As soon as I left the hotel, I held the card and used it."

"Initially, I intended to wish for Xiao Shi to love me forever and stay with me, but the card had no effect. Perhaps it's as you said, the wish was too grand."

"So what did you wish for?" Shen Yi was very curious what wish he had made to end up like this.

For a Fifth Stage Ability User, being hit by a car was a first for this hospital.

"Then I thought, if that wish was a bit too much, I'd change it. I wished for Xiao Shi to gently take care of me, to let me experience the feeling of her caring for me."

"As soon as I spoke my wish, the Wish-Granting Card turned into a purple light and vanished into thin air."

"I walked back, full of joy, and then a car suddenly rushed towards me. At that time, I didn't know why, but I forgot to dodge."

"But luckily I didn't dodge. Do you know who was driving the car that hit me?"

"Senior Sister Xu?" Looking at his expression, Shen Yi asked with some uncertainty.

"Yes, it was Xiao Shi. She was driving. As soon as she reached the intersection, she hit me and sent me flying several meters. Before I could even get up, she drove over again, directly running me over. Perhaps she was afraid I wasn't dead, so she reversed the car and ran over me a few more times." Speaking of this, Jiang Zi Tao's face actually showed a hint of joy.

"He wasn't afraid of not killing you, but afraid of not killing you enough," Shen Yi grumbled inwardly. He didn't know what to say to this unlucky guy anymore. What was with his cheerful expression?

Was he hit by a car and had his brain damaged?

"After that, Xiao Shi got out of the car, saw it was me, and quickly took me to the hospital. You don't know, Xiao Shi has been taking care of me these past few days. Three meals a day, she brings them all, and sometimes she even peels fruit for me to eat." After saying that, his face was still full of a happy smile, looking even more like a lovesick fool.

Shen Yi now understood that this Wish-Granting Card was indeed a trap.

It was true that she was taking care of him, and treating him well, but who takes care of someone like this?

"Shen Yi, you don't know, these past few days have been the happiest days of my life. I've never seen Xiao Shi treat me like this before."

"I'll tell you a secret, actually my body recovers very quickly, but whenever I feel like I'm about to recover, I use my spiritual energy to tear open my wounds again. You absolutely must not tell her."

Originally, Shen Yi felt a little guilty, but hearing what he just said, it truly shattered his worldview. Was this person a masochist?

Or was his brain really damaged from the accident? He was a bit confused.

"Don't worry, I won't tell Senior Sister. Are you planning to stay like this forever?" Shen Yi looked at him with wide eyes, nodding in surprise, a bit at a loss for words.

"How could I? If it takes too long, it'll be exposed. I plan to be discharged in a few days. I'm telling you, my dad initially wanted me to go home to recover, but I firmly refused."

"If I went home, Xiao Shi definitely wouldn't visit me like this, and I even fired the nurse my family arranged for me," Jiang Zi Tao said triumphantly.

"As long as you're happy."

"Oh, right, Shen Yi, do you still have any Wish-Granting Cards? I feel like this thing is too useful for me."

Hearing Jiang Zi Tao, he quickly shook his head. Even if he had one, he wouldn't dare to give it to him. If he caused another incident next time, and a real accident happened, he would feel guilty.

"That's a shame. I wonder if Xiao Shi will still be as gentle and caring towards me after I'm discharged."

"Brother Tao, if you're okay, I'll head back to school first. Call me if anything happens." Looking at his watch, Shen Yi prepared to return to school.

After saying goodbye to Jiang Zi Tao, he left the hospital room.

As soon as he reached the door, he saw Xu Ying Shi carrying a thermal lunchbox, walking into the hospital.

"Senior Sister," Shen Yi greeted.

Xu Ying Shi heard someone speak, looked up, and saw Shen Yi, her eyes lighting up.

"Shen Yi, where have you been lately? You didn't run away with Xiao Yan, did you? I haven't even been able to contact Xiao Yan lately."

"I went home for a trip, had some family matters, and just returned today."

"You two introduced each other to your families so quickly?"

"Huh? What family introduction?" Shen Yi was confused by her.

"Didn't you take Xiao Yan home to meet your family?"

Shen Yi: "..."

"Today I heard that Senior Brother Jiang was hospitalized, so I came to visit."

"Are you here to bring Senior Brother food?" He pointed at the lunchbox in her hand and asked.

"That day, I had just gotten my driver's license. As soon as I reached the intersection, I saw someone there, got nervous, and stepped on the accelerator instead of the brake. Then I wanted to get out of the car, but my hand hit the gear stick, and I surged forward again, then..." Xu Ying Shi explained with a bit of embarrassment.

Hearing her explanation, Shen Yi secretly thought, "Fortunately, the person hit was Jiang Zi Tao. If it were an ordinary person, with her driving, wouldn't they have died on the spot?"

"Well, Senior Sister, you should go in quickly, don't let the food get cold. I'm heading back to school." He didn't want to disturb their two-person world, since it had already come to this.

"Okay, has Xiao Yan returned?"

"I don't know, I didn't see Sister Yan." Shen Yi told the truth. Ji Yan was taken away while unconscious, and he hadn't seen her.
