Fang Zhicheng smiled faintly and said, "No, it's very crisp and sweet. I was just thinking about other things, so I wasn't in a good mood."
Jiang Pei consoled him, "Director Fang, I've discovered that you're a good person in every way, except that you like to use your brain too much. In fact, life isn't that complicated. Wouldn't it be easier to just go with the flow?"
Fang Zhicheng chewed the fruit carefully and replied with a smile: "Who doesn't want to live a more relaxed life? But the environment forces you to think and strive."
Jiang Pei pursed her lips and said, "You have to take it easy. You've been fighting too hard. Is it fun to lie on the hospital bed?"
Fang Zhicheng was slightly startled, and smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect that Teacher Jiang, you are so sharp in your words. I am actually a little speechless."
Jiang Pei smiled, walked to Fang Zhicheng, gently held his neck, and then put the pillow next to him under his neck, so that Fang Zhicheng could lean on his back and feel more comfortable. Fang Zhicheng was stunned by Jiang Pei's abrupt action, his nose almost touched Jiang Pei's chest, and the faint fragrance went straight into his nose, but it was a pity that this kind of happiness came too quickly, and in just ten seconds, Jiang Pei had retreated to the bedside.
Jiang Pei smiled charmingly and said, "I am a little disappointed. The reason why you were injured has been spread within the government. I didn't expect that you would offend such a powerful person. Everyone admires your courage, but some people also secretly sigh at your arrogance and recklessness. It is well known in Hanzhou that the Palace Bar has a backer. You actually rushed into the muzzle of a gun. It's a bit too rash."
Jiang Pei's criticism of Fang Zhicheng made Fang Zhicheng feel sweet and warm in his heart. Jiang Pei's implication was obvious: Fang Zhicheng should have a good reputation among the people now and become a hero who fights against evil forces.
Fang Zhicheng thought for a while before saying, "If I were given another chance to choose, I would also investigate the Palace Bar. It is an unreasonable existence in Hanzhou. If I hadn't encountered it, it would be fine, but if I did, I have the responsibility to remove this thorn for the people."
Seeing Fang Zhicheng was still so stubborn, Jiang Pei sighed heavily and said helplessly: "That's fine, but next time you are hospitalized, I don't want to take care of you anymore?"
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, “Teacher Jiang, is this how you treat heroes?”
Jiang Pei raised his eyebrows and said disdainfully: "How can a hero be so stupid as to gamble with a group of desperate criminals with his precious life."
Fang Zhicheng sighed, "You actually misunderstood me. I didn't want to gamble my life. Who would have thought that the other party was so cruel? I just slightly violated their interests, and they treated me so harshly?"
Jiang Pei laughed out loud at Fang Zhicheng's cowardly look, and said angrily: "It is said that the city has already decided that this matter has come to an end. Both the government and the other party should stop entangled in this matter."
Fang Zhicheng showed disappointment on his face and said with emotion: "It seems that I was really wronged for being injured this time."
In fact, he had already guessed that the city would not do anything to Wai Ge. When Xia Lanshan came to see him in person that time, the meaning was very clear.
Xia Lanshan is a capable municipal party secretary, but he is too calm and timid in dealing with some issues. Although local governments emphasize stability above all else, Xia Lanshan's style is a little too obvious.
Jiang Pei told Fang Zhicheng, "It's not really unfair. The Municipal Public Security Bureau will launch a sweeping operation in the near future to clean up the evil forces in the city. This is a consolation for your injury."
Fang Zhicheng pondered for a moment, knowing that the municipal party committee and Brother Wai had reached an agreement and would no longer pursue the matter, but Brother Wai would also have to pay a price and let the public security system hand over a few of his men as scapegoats in the name of action. After all, Fang Zhicheng was a provincial cadre, and after such an incident, he had to make some achievements and give an explanation to the province.
Seeing Fang Zhicheng become silent, Jiang Pei thought to herself that she was being too talkative and annoying Fang Zhicheng again. She smiled and changed the subject, "Director Fang, how about we go for a walk in the hospital garden? You're feeling stuffy in the ward, and the air here is not flowing, which is not conducive to recovery."
Fang Zhicheng nodded. After resting for two or three days, he felt that his body was getting moldy. He said, "Okay, I'll go to the bathroom first."
Fang Zhicheng's leg was sprained, although not seriously, but it was also wrapped in thick gauze. Jiang Pei thought Fang Zhicheng's leg was inconvenient, so she hurried over and supported Fang Zhicheng with her shoulders. Fang Zhicheng smiled and didn't point it out, and directly took Jiang Pei in his arms.
After sending her to the bathroom door, Jiang Pei said, "I'll be waiting outside. Call me when you're ready."
Fang Zhicheng nodded, and Jiang Pei closed the door for him. However, the physical contact just now really made Fang Zhicheng secretly happy, and even his body had some slight changes, so he spent some effort to relieve himself.
When Fang Zhicheng came out of the bathroom, Jiang Pei had already packed up and borrowed a wheelchair from somewhere. Fang Zhicheng didn't say much and sat directly on the wheelchair. Jiang Pei stood behind Fang Zhicheng and pushed Fang Zhicheng out.
Arriving at the hospital garden, Jiang Pei found that the air was indeed much fresher. She smiled and said, "My suggestion is good, isn't it?"
Fang Zhicheng nodded and smiled, "I didn't expect the city hospital's infrastructure to be so good. This is quite humane."
The two walked around the garden, Jiang Pei pushed Fang Zhicheng from behind, and in order to save effort, she would occasionally lean her lower abdomen against the backrest of the wheelchair, so if Fang Zhicheng leaned back slightly, he could touch Jiang Pei's chest. This light physical contact was the most exciting.
Fang Zhicheng began to wonder if Jiang Pei was deliberately seducing him.
After returning to the ward, the doctor was already waiting there. Seeing Fang Zhicheng sitting in a wheelchair, he asked in confusion: "Why are you sitting in a wheelchair? Is the condition of your ankle serious?"
Fang Zhicheng waved his hands quickly and said with a smile: "It's nothing, just trying to experience the feeling." After saying that, he winked at Jiang Pei. Jiang Pei blushed and spat in a voice that only Fang Zhicheng could hear: "You are a big liar."
Fang Zhicheng was completely able to walk on his own. He knew that Jiang Pei had misunderstood him, but he did not tell her the truth, so he ended up pushing him for almost an hour.
Jiang Pei realized that Fang Zhicheng had done this on purpose, and she was furious. However, as the doctors and nurses were present, she couldn't lose her temper and could only swallow her anger.
After examining Fang Zhicheng, the doctor said, "Overall, you have recovered well. We have ruled out the possibility of serious internal injuries. However, you still need to stay in the hospital for observation for a period of time. After all, the city leaders have requested that we make sure that you do not have any subsequent symptoms before we can discharge you."
Fang Zhicheng nodded and smiled: "Then I'll trouble you."
This was probably not only the order of the city leaders, Deng Shaoqun must have also informed the hospital. If Fang Zhicheng was not in the district government for one day, Deng Shaoqun would have an opportunity to take advantage of it. Fang Zhicheng was very clear about his own health, and he was thinking of resting for two days at most before being discharged from the hospital.
After the doctors and nurses left the ward, Jiang Pei's pink fist arrived as expected. Fang Zhicheng was prepared. He stretched out his hand to deflect the fist, and then took Jiang Pei, who had lost her balance, into his arms.

Fang Zhicheng kissed Jiang Pei on the left cheek cleanly. Jiang Pei covered her face and stood against the wall in panic, staring at Fang Zhicheng with wide eyes, as if she wanted to cut him into pieces. "District Chief Fang, I didn't expect you to be such a frivolous person. I am so disappointed in you."
Jiang Pei's eyes were a little red, and she looked like she had suffered a lot of injustice and was very pitiful.
Fang Zhicheng pouted and said, "It was you who tried to attack me first, but I dodged it flexibly. As for that kiss, it was just a beautiful misunderstanding."
Jiang Pei threatened coldly: "I'm going to call District Chief Zhang and ask him to replace him. I don't want to take care of someone like you."
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "Go ahead and call, but I can probably guess how Lao Zhang will respond. He will reiterate to you that this is also your job, and you must take good care of me."
Jiang Pei rubbed the place where Fang Zhicheng had kissed her, stamped her feet, and rushed out of the ward. Fang Zhicheng sighed, reflecting that his behavior was indeed a bit too bold, and he was in a bad mood and wanted to vent his depression.
After a while, Jiang Pei returned to the ward with red eyes. Fang Zhicheng felt a little regretful. He shouldn't have bullied Jiang Pei. Although Jiang Pei was a few years older than him, she was still a woman after all. Women are naturally sensitive and have strong self-esteem. What he did just now might have made Jiang Pei mistakenly think that he treated her as a casual woman.
