TVSFPAG -Chapter 75 Seeing You Suffer, It Hurts Me

“Sorry about that, are you two okay?” The driver, after calling an ambulance and the police, turned back to ask the two in the back seat.

Song Yunfei shook her head. “We’re fine. Let’s keep going.”

“Alright, sit tight.”

The taxi slowly started moving again and quickly left the scene.

Seeing that he was still in a daze, Song Yunfei reached out and poked his shoulder with a finger.

“Chu Jinhan, are you okay?”

“Chu Jinhan?”

Before Chu Jinhan could recover, Bai Yu’s call came in.

It was obvious he had noticed that Song Yunfei had deleted him.

Right now, Song Yunfei had no time to deal with him. Seeing that her phone was on silent, she turned to the driver and said, “Driver, please change the destination to the hospital.”

“Alright—your boyfriend got scared, huh?”

Through the rearview mirror, the driver saw Chu Jinhan’s unfocused, vacant gaze, looking very much like someone who had been frightened into a daze.

“Probably,” Song Yunfei replied with an awkward smile, though she was inwardly panicking.

She suddenly thought: she should have accepted that 320,174 just now, jumped out of the car on the spot, and bought a train ticket to run overnight.

If she couldn’t get a ticket, she’d ride an electric bike and escape!

Just as she was feeling restless, Chu Jinhan let out a sigh.

Song Yunfei immediately turned to look at his expression.

He was rubbing his temples, his face showing a hint of pain.

“Chu Jinhan, what’s wrong? Don’t scare me.”

After a moment of recovery, Chu Jinhan finally spoke in a low voice while still rubbing his temples, “Just now, some images flashed through my mind.”

“…Then, what did you remember?”

“Nothing. It’s too fragmented.”

He hadn’t moved earlier because he wanted to use those scattered fragments to try to recall something. Unexpectedly, the more he tried, the more his head hurt, and even those fragments were beginning to fade away.

Song Yunfei, unwilling to give up, continued probing, “For example?”

After a moment of silence, Chu Jinhan said, “A car.”

“What else?”

“High beams, braking sounds, and…” He paused, trying to recall the images in his mind. “Spinning.”

As he spoke, he looked up and stared at her. “Did I… also have a car accident before?”

Song Yunfei felt her entire body tense up at his question.

She opened her mouth, about to make something up—but when she saw the confusion and suppressed pain in his eyes, the lie that was on the tip of her tongue got stuck there and wouldn’t come out.

No matter what the fully restored version of him might be like, at this moment, he was a blank and helpless soul.

“I…”

A shift stirred in Song Yunfei’s heart. She suddenly hugged him tightly, pressing her face against his chest.

“It’s really good that you’re okay. You scared me just now—I thought something had happened to you.”

Her voice carried a slight sob. She had likely been frightened by his reaction earlier, and tears came easily.

Anyone who has died once would fear dying a second time even more.

Chu Jinhan froze for a moment, looking down at the woman in his arms.

Her tears fell onto his shirt, slowly soaking in and spreading across the area over his heart.

No matter how many doubts he had, they gradually faded in the face of her soft sobbing.

He raised his hand and wrapped it around Song Yunfei’s shoulders. “I’m fine.”

The driver glanced at them through the rearview mirror and clicked his tongue in mild amusement, thinking that young people really were timid—fine for girls to be scared, but even a grown man acting like this was unusual.

Song Yunfei stayed in his arms for a moment before lifting her head to observe his expression. “If you can’t remember, then don’t force it. Seeing you in pain—it hurts me.”

Chu Jinhan lowered his gaze to look at her.

After a brief pause, he raised his hand and gently wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes with his fingertips, responding in a low voice, “Alright.”

In the dim interior of the car, the two of them looked at each other at such close distance that Song Yunfei’s heartbeat inexplicably quickened by a couple of beats.

“Hey, you two, behave yourselves—don’t mess around in my car.”

As soon as the driver in front spoke, Song Yunfei immediately sprang out of Chu Jinhan’s arms and moved to the far side, pressing herself against the car door.

Chu Jinhan then said to the driver, “No need to go to the hospital. Go back to the previous address.”

The driver rolled his eyes but said nothing. He made a U-turn ahead anyway—after all, he charged by distance; as long as he got paid, it didn’t matter.

Soon, the taxi arrived downstairs.

The two got out of the car and went back inside.

Song Yunfei could tell he was still deep in thought. She wanted to say something but didn’t know where to begin.

After entering the apartment, Song Yunfei saw Qiuan running out of the bathroom, bouncing around them excitedly.

She suddenly slapped her forehead. “Oh no—I forgot to take it out for a bathroom break today!”

With that, she quickly ran into the bathroom—and was shocked to find that the little guy had actually pooped inside the squat toilet.

Song Yunfei turned back in disbelief and pointed at Qiuan. “Is it… becoming a spirit or something?”

“You taught it before,” Chu Jinhan said.

“But I only taught it twice. Can it really remember at such a young age?”

“I don’t know.”

Although she had seen many smart dogs online before, the comments usually said they were trained.

These past few days, aside from teaching Qiuan to sit, lie down, and shake hands, she hadn’t trained it in anything else.

Song Yunfei didn’t dwell on it further. She flushed the waste down the squat toilet, then carried Qiuan back into the bathroom and rewarded it with a bath.

Everything else about Qiuan was fine—except for bath time.

She couldn’t handle it alone, so she had to call Chu Jinhan in to help.

Giving Qiuan a bath was like going to war.

Both she and Chu Jinhan were splashed all over with water, their hair sticking into damp strands.

Song Yunfei squatted on the floor while washing and said, “I’ll look up some tutorials online later to see how to make it behave during baths.”

Chu Jinhan watched her. The air conditioner didn’t reach the bathroom, so the droplets of water and sweat on her face mixed together and slid down her chin.

Her loosely tied hair had come undone a bit, with strands at the sides of her face clinging to water and foam.

As she muttered complaints to herself, her hands didn’t stop moving, and the dog in her hands kept struggling as if trying to escape.

Noticing his gaze, Song Yunfei flicked her hand, sending some foam flying onto his face and white shirt.

“What are you looking at? The dog’s about to run away.”

Chu Jinhan tilted his head to dodge—but he was a step too late.

A clump of foam landed right above his upper lip, turning the handsome man into a rather comical sight.

Song Yunfei couldn’t hold it in and burst out laughing. “Hahahaha… this is too funny!”

Chu Jinhan raised his hand to wipe it off, but his movement paused halfway as his eyes landed on her, laughing so hard she was bent over.

Song Yunfei abandoned the dog she was washing and hurriedly grabbed her phone from the sink, turning on the camera to take a photo of him.

This time, Chu Jinhan was quicker—he raised his arm to block his face.

Song Yunfei failed to capture his lower face and grew annoyed. “Put your hand down!”

She grabbed his arm, trying to pull it away.

“Don’t mess around.”

“Let me take one, hurry up!”

“……”

Chu Jinhan directly wiped the foam off his face.

“Not fun at all,” Song Yunfei pouted. But on closer inspection, she realized she had accidentally switched to video instead of photo.

It had even recorded one second.

She gave Chu Jinhan a mysterious smile and put her phone back.

Still smiling, she continued bathing Qiuan.

The bathroom lighting was dim and yellowish, cramped and narrow. The two of them squatted inside, nearly filling the entire space.

The stuffy, humid environment was given an oddly mismatched warmth by this ordinary scene.
