Chapter 50: Promise? Ou Yizhe? Before Rebirth?

Qi Zhifan had not seen Wei Han for three days. Not only could he not see his silly and foolish appearance, but he could not hear his voice. He had been unable to contact Wei Han, so he could only wait for Wei Han to call.

He wrinkled his brows and his face was overcast. He’d looked at his cell phone every five minutes and he decided that if Wei Han called, he would fiercely scold that fool for a spell, actually leaving a green parrot to get by him!

In the end, Qi Zhifan waited for another two days, and in this way, five days already passed.

A week passed and Qi Zhifan still didn’t received a call from Wei Han.

Although midway through, Qi Zhifan suspected countless times that something had happened to Wei Han outside, but when he contacted the people that he knew in the police department, they hadn’t received any news. They said that it was a normal phenomenon and that the assigned police officers must obey the sergeant in all matters. It was estimated that they were too busy and the signal wasn’t good in some remote places in the country.

“Hubby, mwah mwah~”

“Trouble, mwah mwah~”

......

Listening to the green parrot’s mwah mwah~ everyday, Qi Zhifan’s irritability and gloominess in the beginning had become a kind of deep yearning. Also, from telling Butler Sun to take this annoying green guy far away, he was now personally feeding it himself.

Putting the green parrot in his palm, QI Zhifan stroked the little guy’s feathers while teasing it, “Say something a little nicer.”

Qi Zhifan wasn’t afraid that it would suddenly fly away because he already knew that this green guy had both a lazy and stupid, urine character. During this time, he also taught the parrot to say a lot, including narcissistic self-boasting, and also some special words of love for Wei Han that Qi Zhifan normally wouldn’t say.

“Hubby Trouble, mwah mwah~”

“Trouble Hubby, mwah mwah~”

In the end, when the little guy opened its mouth, it always said the things Wei Han first taught it.

Qi Zhifan: “......”

He would love to teach this stupid parrot so many sweet speeches and honeyed words, but it didn’t even remember a single one!

Qi Zhifan wasn’t in the mood to work this afternoon. He was staring at the photo in his wallet that Wei Han had casually handed over to him, that one-inch photo of him that was stuffed in his wallet.

Actually, Qi Zhifan still had many photos of Wei Han in his cell phone, such as Wei Han’s earnest side when he was cooking, his quiet sleeping face; and Wei Han’s solemn appearance when he wore his police uniform and hat, as well as when he was wearing a large T-shirt at home, leaning lazily on the sofa with the collar freely open...

Accustomed to those photos, Qi Zhifan felt that this one-inch portrait of Wei Han seemed to have a special “flavor”. Fortunately, he hadn’t been impulsive and thrown it away at that time. Before, he’d especially ignored this one-inch photo, but now he particularly cherished it.

The cell phone rang suddenly. When he saw the screen displayed the three characters ‘Stomach Cold’ and Wei Han’s silly smiling face, Qi Zhifan’s fingertips stopped, fearing that it was his own delusion.

The phone continued to ring, and Qi Zhifan, with rapt attention, connected through.

“Hey, Odd Trouble, you haven’t gotten off work yet? I...I’m not disturbing you?” At his end of the line, Wei Han’s voice was filled with emotion and obviously also apprehensive.

Qi Zhifan found that the several days of anger that he’d accumulated had suddenly disappeared when he heard Wei Han’s familiar tone and voice.

“You can disturb me as much as you like.”

Wei Han was startled for a moment. He felt that although Qi Zhifan’s words now weren’t warm or hot, but they must be concealing a desire to murder inside, so he immediately took the initiative to admit his mistake, “Odd Trouble, I’m sorry, I’m sorry! It’s been so long before I called you, and you also didn’t answer your phone so I know you must be very angry. In fact, I really miss you, but Iー”

“No need to explain.”

Qi Zhifan interrupted him. The ‘I really miss you’ in Wei Han’s mouth instantly made Qi Zhifan feel much more at ease. Wei Han was a policeman, so he naturally also understood that he had his difficulties.

“You...” Qi Zhifan still wanted to ask something, but he paused for a moment.

“Hmm? Odd Trouble, what do you want to ask?”

In fact, Qi Zhifan wanted to ask a lot: he wanted to ask Wei Han if he was living well outside. Did he eat well? Sleep well? Did someone else bully him? Did he protect himself? Did he stay farther away from that malicious Shao Yi guy?

“Wei Han, will you always stay with me?”

However, Qi Zhifan suddenly asked such headless and brainless words.

“......” Wei Han was slightly stunned, vaguely being able to feel something. The love that sprouted from the bottom of Qi Zhifan’s heart—beside the feelings he had for Ou Yizhe in his youth—was now given to him. Was he afraid that he would leave him too?

“Mm, of course I will always stay with you,” Wei Han smiled and promised.

This day, Qi Zhifan was tidying things up in Wei Han’s room. In the room that he had carefully prepared for Wei Han, he usually didn’t let the housekeeper aunts clean up. As long as he had the time, he would do it himself.

Suddenly, Qi Zhifan found a very thick notebook. He felt that it was a little strange so he took a closer look. Carefully and neatly written on the cover was: “Odd Trouble Grievances Record”.

“......”

Qi Zhifan’s brows jumped. What kind of thing was this?

If this was an ordinary notebook, Qi Zhifan wouldn’t have bothered to look, but seeing the words ‘Odd Trouble’ in front, his curiosity was thoroughly aroused.

Qi Zhifan opened the first page and the first line of words was【Qi Zhifan was my love rival in my past life!】

Qi Zhifan: “......”

Past life? Had this fool been with Leng Yan for so long that his brain hole had become big enough to write novels?

Following that were dense words, all very trivial things: the meal when they first met, Qi Zhifan had a very good “eye” and drank Mother Wei’s dark soup; Qi Zhifan didn’t study but went to mix at a gay bar; Qi Zhifan was a picky eater with a poisonous mouth...

These item after item, he knew at a glance that when Wei Han recorded them, he must have hated him so much in his heart. Qi Zhifan couldn’t help but hook his lips up and smile, thinking it was very interesting. It turned out that Wei Han had cared about him so much at that time.

His eyes swept back to the first line of the second page【I’m his older brother in this life!】

Qi Zhifan didn’t understand it yet when Pei Yuyang’s call came through.

“Ah Fan, I’ll tell you something soon. You have to promise me first that you’ll stay calm.” Pei Yuyang’s tone was seldom so solemn and serious. When Qi Zhifan heard it, he suddenly had a sense of foreboding.

“Say it quickly,” Qi Zhifan impatiently said.

“Curlie received an emergency notice. Wei Han, he...”

Wei Han was shot in the head, and a few hours later, he was rushed to S City’s major hospital for surgery.

When Qi Zhifan and Pei Yuyang hastily arrived, many people were already keeping watch outside the operating room. Dad Qi and Mother Wei, Jiang Chengrui, and also Leng Yan had come.

“What...what’s going on? Han-han, he...he has to be okay,” Mother Wei, hugged to Qi Hao’s bosom, had already broken down into tears.

“Don’t be afraid. He’d be able to get through this.”

Qi Hao comforted her while holding her even tighter. Natural and man-made disasters, life was full of accidents and no one knew what would happen next. Even if he was used to seeing life and death, faced with his own family’s, his heart was still painful.

“I’m sorry. If I was by Silly Han’s side during this mission, maybe this wouldn’t have happened.” Seeing Qi Zhifan had come, Jiang Chengrui also had a heavy expression.

Qi Zhifan shook his head with almost no expression on his face. He only closely stared at the entrance to the operating room. When he saw that the red light was on, his heart had been seized and couldn’t help but remember Wei Han’s promise to him a few days ago.

That fool, obviously he’d promised to stay with him, obviously he’d smiled and promised!

“Rest assured, Cyril is inside.” At this time, the always silent Leng Yan also came over.

Jiang Chengrui to the side heard this and hurriedly added, “Dr. Cyril is the brain surgeon who just got off a plane a few hours ago and rushed over here. He’s also the friend that Mr. Leng specially invited back from the United States.”

After hearing this, Qi Zhifan glanced at Leng Yan.

“With Cyril here, Wei Han will be fine,” Leng Yan said again.

Qi Zhifan looked at Leng Yan again and pulled his lips: “Thank you.”

In general, Qi Zhifan seldom opened his golden mouth to say thanks, especially to his ‘love rivals,’ but there was an exception to everything.

The operation was still ongoing and everyone outside the operating room stayed almost a day and a night. In the early morning, seeing that everyone was very tired, especially the older Dad Qi and Mother Wei, Jiang Chengrui planned to first go buy some breakfast and come back. Pei Yuyang saw this and also anxiously wanted to follow him.

His face filled with a welcoming smile as always, it was hard for Jiang Chengrui to refuse. He lowered his head and also let Pei Yuyang go with him.

Then, about fifteen minutes later, the red light at the entrance of the operating room finally turned off. The door was opened from the inside and the doctors and nurses immediately walked out one after the other.

When the chief surgeon came out, Qi Zhifan originally was the first to come forward, but when he saw the doctor in the lead, his steps instantly faltered and he stood stiffly in place.

This man, even if he was wearing a mask, but Qi Zhifan was still very familiar with those pair of slender and quick-witted brows and eyes. In those lush green years, he’d always been obsessed with the owner of this pair of eyes.

“Doctor, how’s my son?” At this time, Qi Hao asked while supporting Mother Wei.

“The bullet has been smoothly extracted and I’ve done all that I could. The rest is up to his own willpower,” the doctor said, taking off his mask.

“Hard work, Cyril.” Then, Leng Yan also stepped forward and patted him.

“Little thing. Michael. You rushed to get me back here overnight, so he should be a very important friend of yours?” Dr. Cyril winked.

“Yeah.”

He faintly smiled again. “Since he’s your friend, then he’s also mine.”

Voice hadn’t fallen when Cyril’s eyes swept a casual glance and coincidentally met Qi Zhifan’s eyes.

In a split second, two people’s four eyes came into contact and both were stunned.

“You are Ou...Ou Yizhe?!”

Just came back from buying breakfast, Pei Yuyang cried out in surprise. His astonished gaze rested on Cyril for a long time. The man he’d seen several times in the photo was now standing live before his eyes.

Leng Yan’s face also flashed with a hint of surprise. “So you all knew each other?”

“Yeah.” Cyril nodded and slowly walked in front of Qi Zhifan. His eyes had always been staring at his face and his smile was clear and shallow. “Zhifan, long time no see.”

Qi Zhifan: “......”

Once, Qi Zhifan had thought many times that there would be a day in the future when Ou Yizhe would come back. Only now, he hadn’t foreseen that this ruthless man would—in this situation and this circumstances—return to save Wei Han.

Although the operation was over, Wei Han was still in a deep coma and couldn’t awaken.

Shao Yi, who was injured along with the comatose Wei Han, was also in the hospital. His injuries were far less severe than Wei Han’sーhe was shot several times in the legーso he was already awake.

As soon as he heard that Wei Han was out of the operating room, Shao Yi disregarded that it was still inconvenient to walk and came to see him.

“I’m sorry! Wei Han was shot when saving me.”

During the scouting process, Shao Yi had underestimated the fugitives too much and his momentary impulsive actions had ended up with his capture. Finally, he had to rely on Wei Han to sneak into the enemy camp to rescue him.

The just awoken Shao Yi was very remorseful. He’d clearly always suspected that Wei Han was stupid before, but in the end, it was he who’d made a low level mistake and also implicated others.

By Wei Han’s bedside, Qi Zhifan tightly gripped his hands. He didn’t lift his eyelids and coldly said, “It’s useless to say these things now.”

“I know, butー”

“I don’t want to see you.”

Seeing Qi Zhifan already issue the order to leave, Shao Yi didn’t plan to seek another rebuff. He took a final look at the still comatose Wei Han and he clenched his fists, secretly making a vow in the bottom of his heart.

During the days when Wei Han was in a coma, Qi Zhifan slowly comprehended the “Odd Trouble Grievances Record” book. Starting from the front, the odd-numbered pages wrote about the bad things he’d done to Wei Han. The even-numbered pages were things that Wei Han believed to be pay back. Later, Qi Zhifan discovered that from the last page, he also wrote a thick stack of sheets, recording all the good he’d done for him.

Wei Han was silly and lacking. When Wei Han was good to a person, he couldn’t help but be fully devoted to them. But when he wanted to take revenge on someone, he was extraordinarily stupid and kept courting death. Was he naturally kindhearted?

Tonight, Dad Qi and Mother Wei weren’t there, and only Qi Zhifan was alone in the hospital with Wei Han. He also laid in the bed, just quietly holding Wei Han.

“Wei Han, why is it only you?” Suddenly, Qi Zhifan whispered in his ear.

There were so many people in the world, so many beautiful and outstanding, more suitable men and woman than Wei Han. But why was it only him?

Wei Han: “......”

“Where did you go? Quickly get the hell back here.”

Wei Han: “......”

Blood blossomed and spattered. The moment the bullet penetrated his head: pain, unbearable pain! Immediately afterwards, the terrible darkness swept over him, surrounding and engulfing his critically wounded body.

As a policeman, this way of dying seemed pretty good.

Only...only, Odd Trouble, what...what should he do?

This was the last thing he thought about in the second before he lost consciousness.

Afterwards, he felt a burst of exhaustion and his entire body continued to sink down into the endless thick darkness. At the same time, there were intermittent sounds in his ears, as if there were many people shouting at him, but he couldn’t hear clearly and couldn’t tell who it was.

“Big Brother Wei, Big Brother Wei!”

Suddenly, the voice gradually became clear and light slowly filtered into his eyes.

Wei Han jerked open his eyes. Ahh? Why was the worried face of Little Yao in front of him?

“Big Brother Wei? What happened to you all of a sudden? Are you uncomfortable?” Chu Chuanyao supported Wei Han up and asked with concern.

Wei Han couldn’t help rubbing his temples. He also didn’t understand what was happening.

“I reckon he’s too fat and has all three highs.” (T/N: high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high blood fat)

The ears immediately moved. Wei Han was particularly familiar with this cold voice and poisonous tongue attack. He looked up at the man sitting at a table not far away and his eyes widened.

“Big Brother Wei, don’t mind him. Zhifan has a bit of a bad mouth,” Chu Chuanyao smiled and said.

Wei Han deeply knitted his brows. Little Yao, why did you call ‘Zhifan’? ‘Senior Qi’ was still more pleasing.

Wait a minute! This time and place...

Wei Han immediately looked around and looked down at his long-absent white chef clothes. Then, he pinched the flesh on his face and suddenly, he felt bad all over ah!

Fuck, wasn’t this before his rebirth, when Little Yao had first introduced him to Qi Zhifan!

And now, he was still a dead fatty with a fat face whose facial features were crammed in and couldn’t be seen!
