Chapter 945: Someone Who Can’t Wake Up and Pretend To Be Sleeping

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lang Zhan glanced at Qi Bufan and Dai Chukong, feeling that the father and daughter would not be able to get over each other in a short while. He shook his head and sighed in his heart. Their relationship was really good!

Lang Zhan took his phone and left the ward, wanting to call Mr. Fang and his colleagues at the base.

As soon as they left, Qi Bufan opened his eyes.

There was a flash of confusion and heartache in his eyes, but he suppressed it in an instant. He hesitated for a moment before raising his hand and gently placing his palm on Dai Chukong’s back.

“Silly girl, how could I abandon you?”

Dai Chukong accused him. “All these years, you never looked for me.”

Qi Bufan wanted to explain, but he realized that he had nothing to say.

When had he not wanted to look for her?

He could not go to her.

After a moment of silence, Qi Bufan apologized.

“I’m sorry.”

Dai Chukong’s body stiffened.

It was unknown what he thought of, but Dai Chukong forced herself to let go of Qi Bufan. Qi Bufan still remembered what he had heard before he woke up. He looked at the young and beautiful girl in front of him and his heart ached.

......

“Chukong…”

Dai Chukong suddenly asked him, “Is there anything you want to eat?” Dai Chukong’s chest hurt so much that she felt suffocated, but she still called Qi Bufan softly, “Dad.”

In the past, what Qi Bufan looked forward to the most was hearing Dai Chukong call him ‘Dad’.

He had only heard it twice in his life.

The first time was three years ago. Dai Chukong had confessed her love to him. After he had rejected her, Dai Chukong had called him ‘Dad’ coldly. That ‘Dad’ made Qi Bufan’s heart sink.

The second time was just now.

However, this time, he still could not feel happy. Instead, he felt terrible.

“Drink some water.”

Qi Bufan pretended to be very happy and said, “You’re finally willing to call me Dad.”

Dai Chukong was pouring water for him. When she heard this, the boiling water scalded the back of her hand, but Dai Chukong did not feel it. Qi Bufan suddenly scolded her in a low voice, “Chukong, what are you doing!”

Dai Chukong regained her senses and felt a burning pain on the back of her hand.

She looked down and saw a few drops of hot water on the back of her hand. Dai Chukong quickly put down the water bottle and said to Qi Bufan, “I was thinking about something and got distracted.” Upon hearing this, Qi Bufan’s gaze became deep.

When the water was cold, Dai Chukong fed Qi Bufan a few mouthfuls.

She then chatted with him and told him about her life in the past few years. Qi Bufan listened quietly. He still looked serious, but his eyes were very gentle. Dai Chukong’s mouth was dry from talking. When she got up to pour himself a glass of water, Fang Yusheng and the rest arrived.

She had just been scolded by Fang Yusheng during the day. Now that she saw him, Dai Chukong felt a little awkward.

“Brother Fang.” Dai Chukong lowered her head and greeted Fang Yusheng.

Fang Yusheng glanced at her, his gaze less condemning. “Chukong, you’re still the best. Besides you, no one else can wake your father up.” Fang Yusheng smiled before saying, “It’s getting late. A patient was discharged from the hospital this afternoon. There’s also an empty room. I booked it. Chukong, Lang Zhan, go rest. I’ll stay here in the second half of the night.”

Dai Chukong knew that Fang Yusheng had something to say to Qi Bufan. She looked at Qi Bufan, who nodded slightly at her.

“Then I’ll go to bed.”

“Remember to apply medicine on the back of your hand.” Qi Bufan did not forget to remind Dai Chukong.

“…Okay,” Dai Chukong replied softly and left.

After Dai Chukong and Lang Zhan left, Fang Yusheng sat down on the high stool.

Qi Bufan’s voice was hoarse. This was what happened after he had not spoken for many days. “Mr. Fang, you should go and rest too. I can do it alone.” He had brought too much trouble to Fang Yusheng and the others these past few days. Qi Bufan did not want to cause them any more trouble.

Fang Yusheng did not leave. Instead, he crossed his long legs and placed them diagonally under the bed. His indifferent gaze swept past Qi Bufan, and Fang Yusheng suddenly sneered.

Qi Bufan looked at him in confusion.

Fang Yusheng said, “I suddenly thought of something fun.”

Qi Bufan asked him with his eyes, “What?”

Fang Yusheng’s lips curled up, and his smile was especially devilish. He said, “You’ll never wake someone who’s pretending to be asleep.”

Qi Bufan’s expression froze.

The few traces of redness on his face faded again.

“Mr. Fang…”

“In order to break the deadlock, you actually learned how to act. Ha…” Fang Yusheng’s voice contained a smile, but every word he said was sarcastic. “Qi Bufan, it turns out that you’re not as honest as I thought.”

Qi Bufan was speechless.

After a long while, he asked Fang Yusheng calmly, “How did you tell, sir?”

Fang Yusheng said, “I’ve said this before. Even if I’m blind, my heart is not. Besides, I’m not blind anymore.” Previously, Fang Yusheng had indeed not known that Qi Bufan was acting.

The reason he was so sure was because he had heard from Lang Zhan about Qi Bufan’s awakening.

How could there be such a magical thing?

A few words from his foster daughter could wake him up?

Fang Yusheng stared at Qi Bufan’s silent and calm face. He said word by word, “You were forcing her to meet you and to admit her mistake. You couldn’t bear to abandon her and lose her, but you couldn’t cross the hurdle in your heart, so you pushed all the blame to Dai Chukong.”

“Actually, you’re a selfish person. Haven’t you thought about how difficult it is for someone who really likes you to have to pretend that she doesn’t like you all the time for you?”

“Qi Bufan, you’re hurting her.”

Fang Yusheng frowned deeply. He did not agree with Qi Bufan’s actions. Fang Yusheng was a lawless person. If it were him, as long as the two of them were in love, he would not care who the other party was. If she was his stepmother, he would dare to snatch her away. If she was his adopted daughter, he would dare to marry her.

He was just that arrogant and domineering.

However, Qi Bufan was not him.

Qi Bufan smiled bitterly and said, “Master, you’re really smart. You see through everything I think and do.”

Fang Yusheng did not mock Qi Bufan.

He only felt wronged for Dai Chukong. “Bufan, do you know how much courage a 17 or 18-year-old girl needs to muster up the courage to confess to someone 17 years older than her and who is also her nominal foster father?”

Qi Bufan could not answer.

“You’re trampling on a true heart.” This was the last thing Fang Yusheng wanted to say to Qi Bufan.

Qi Bufan seemed to have been agitated and suddenly retorted, “What can I do?! Her father lost his life to save me. I promised to raise her daughter well. I can’t do anything wrong and take the wrong path! I can’t take care of her in my own bed!”

“Master, you’re not me. You can’t feel my pain.” Qi Bufan was very sad.

In the past few years, every time he thought of what had happened between him and Dai Chukong, he would be flustered.

“Besides, all these years, I’ve really treated her as my biological daughter and taken care of her. Master, in my heart, she’s my daughter. Falling in love with her is incest! As a father, how have I made a mistake?”
