"The patient just caught a common cold. He was already in poor health, but once the fever subsides, he will recover quickly with proper care. There's nothing seriously wrong."
The doctor spoke to Yi Jinbai and Shen Yunyi, while Jiang's parents listened nearby.
"How did you suddenly catch a cold?"
Jiang's mother touched Jiang Shuiyun's burning forehead. "Is it that serious?"
It would be strange if Shen Yunyi and Yi Jinbai knew, so the two could only look at each other and ultimately said nothing.
"Jinbai, didn't you notice it last night either?"
Jiang's mother looked at Yi Jinbai and asked again.
Yi Jinbai was already very nervous standing in front of Jiang's parents, and now his palms were sweating profusely. "I went to bed early last night, and we weren't in the same room, so... I didn't notice anything unusual."
"I see," Jiang's mother said, having received her answer. "I heard you're all staying at Mr. Shen's house now? Isn't that inconvenient?"
“There’s nothing inconvenient about it,” Shen Yunyi chimed in, though he was also a little nervous in front of Jiang’s parents. “My house is empty when I live alone; it’s better when there are more people.”
Jiang's mother sat on the chair next to him and looked at Jiang's father, "What do you think?"
“It’s more convenient to live in your own home,” Jiang’s father chimed in. “It’s okay if this child doesn’t want to live with us. I know she’s been looking for a suitable house, and we’ve been helping her look around.”
Jiang's mother opened the tablet she had brought and handed it to Yi Jinbai, saying, "You should choose one; after all, it's your own home."
Yi Jinbai was in no mood to choose a house; she just wanted to know when Jiang Shuiyun would wake up. She tried to decline, but saw that Jiang's mother's hand remained still as she persistently handed over the tablet, leaving Yi Jinbai no choice but to accept it.
As you scroll through them, you see properties in wealthy neighborhoods across the country, each one incredibly luxurious.
What are you all doing here?
Jiang Shuiyun's hoarse voice came from the hospital bed, and everyone turned around to look, breaking the awkward silence that had just begun.
Shen Yunyi told Jiang Shuiyun what happened this morning. Jiang Shuiyun closed her eyes. She knew what was going on. Yesterday she took a cold shower and seemed to have fallen into the bathtub and soaked for a while, so it was normal for something to happen today.
The fever hadn't subsided, and Jiang Shuiyun was still feeling weak and uncomfortable. Her gaze fell on Yi Jinbai beside her, who was holding a tablet in his hand.
Perhaps sensing Jiang Shuiyun's gaze, Yi Jinbai was somewhat at a loss and tried to hand the tablet back to Jiang's mother, but Jiang's mother spoke first to explain.
"Well, it's not always convenient for you to stay at other people's houses, so we've found some suitable apartments, and they're all here. Why don't you come and choose one?"
Jiang Shuiyun had no interest in this at all, and besides, the high fever was making her feel extremely uncomfortable. She wanted to refuse outright, but then she thought about it again and closed her eyes and nodded, "Then let's pick one. Whichever one you like."
"Shuiyun, I haven't taken good care of you, but you're sick right now and it's really inconvenient for you to move. Why don't you wait a bit?"
Shen Yunyi felt guilty because he hadn't taken good care of Jiang Shuiyun, especially since he had given her alcohol the night before.
“No,” Jiang Shuiyun shook her head. “I had already planned to buy a new house, but it was put on hold for some unexpected reasons. If there is a suitable one now, that would be the best.”
Jiang Shuiyun's words left no reason for anyone to stop him, so Yi Jinbai had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.
Among all the various mansions, Yi Jinbai really didn't know what to do, and in the end, he could only choose the one that looked the simplest and least luxurious.
Jiang's mother took it and glanced at it. "You have good taste. You picked the most expensive one right away."
Yi Jinbai felt like he had messed up, and immediately tensed up. "Otherwise, I..."
Before we could even discuss choosing another place, Jiang's mother had already decided on a house. It was in City A, which was convenient, located in a prime area, yet still quiet despite being in a bustling city. Price aside, it was already excellent.
Jiang's mother handed the tablet to Jiang Shuiyun, who looked at Yi Jinbai, who was standing there helplessly, closed her eyes, and nodded in agreement.
"Don't worry, you can go directly there when you're discharged. This house is already yours," Jiang's mother nodded, then did something on the tablet before turning it off again. "By the way, you're sick right now, will that affect tomorrow's meeting?"
"Won't."
Jiang Shuiyun was confident that she wouldn't let things fall apart at crucial moments. "I'll have Shen Yunyi transfer the money. Thank you for your trouble."
They've truly drifted apart to the extreme.
"There's no need to fight. You'll know what happened after tomorrow's meeting. Just focus on recovering."
Jiang's mother and father did not give Jiang Shuiyun a chance to ask any more questions before leaving her hospital room together.
After Jiang's parents left, Shen Yunyi finally breathed a sigh of relief. "You told me to go see a doctor yesterday, how come you're the one lying here now?"
“A little accident,” Jiang Shuiyun turned to look at Yi Jinbai, “Are you satisfied with the house?”
Yi Jinbai didn't know what to say, especially when he met Jiang Shuiyun's eyes. He wanted to explain what had happened when he chose the house, but he couldn't find the words.
"Are you really moving away?" Shen Yunyi asked, somewhat reluctant to leave.
"Okay, let's move it when I'm discharged from the hospital. Don't you need to go to the company?"
Jiang Shuiyun looked at Shen Yunyi, her tone leaving no room for doubt.
"I'd almost forgotten about it if you hadn't mentioned it. You almost ruined everything. I'm leaving now."
Since Shen Yunyi had already confirmed that Jiang Shuiyun was alright, he didn't linger and left for the company.
Only Jiang Shuiyun and Yi Jinbai remained in the ward. Jiang Shuiyun looked at Yi Jinbai, whose face was flushed. She seemed to want to say something, but didn't know how.
"Is it because of the house selection earlier?"
Jiang Shuiyun could tell what was going on at a glance, partly because she understood Yi Jinbai's true nature, so she pointed it out directly.
Yi Jinbai bit her lower lip and looked at Jiang Shuiyun, "I didn't know that was the most expensive one."
"It's okay, there's no difference. Just choose what looks good to you."
Jiang Shuiyun tried to sit up, holding onto the edge of the bed. Yi Jinbai quickly brought over a pillow, helped Jiang Shuiyun sit up, placed the pillow under her back, and then poured her a glass of water.
"But that really is..."
Yi Jinbai didn't know what to say.
Just then, Jiang Shuiyun's phone rang. She glanced at the screen and saw it was Gao Zhouzhou.
It was quite strange that Gao Zhouzhou would contact her again. Jiang Shuiyun answered the call.
"Jiang Shuiyun, tomorrow is the day Jinbai releases her single. How about I tell you some good news?"
Gao Zhouzhou's voice on the other end was always full of high spirits, making Jiang Shuiyun feel a little pain in her fragile ears.
"What good news?"
Jiang Shuiyun asked casually, her gaze falling on Yi Jinbai's face, noticing that she was clearly a little nervous.
"Although I don't know how it happened, it was really incredible luck. You know Shen Xian, right? Never mind, you definitely don't. Let me tell you, he's an extremely powerful figure with countless fans worldwide. He's just incredibly awesome. This kind of big shot contacted me and said he heard the trailer for Jin Bai's new song and is willing to promote it for Jin Bai. Can you believe it?! This is even rarer than winning 500 million in the lottery!"
Jiang Shuiyun was genuinely pleasantly surprised by the change in Yi Jinbai's expression.
Yi Jinbai seemed to want to say something but Gao Zhouzhou's voice continued, forcing her to remain silent for the time being.
"And another thing, let me tell you, it's not just me, Fei Yan and I will all help..."
Gao Zhouzhou talked on and on, and Jiang Shuiyun responded with a few words, agreeing to help Yi Jinbai promote his new song tomorrow. After hanging up the phone, the ward became quiet for a moment.
Congratulations!
Jiang Shuiyun broke the silence.

Chapter 69
Yi Jinbai looked at Jiang Shuiyun and found the congratulations particularly jarring, making her feel uncomfortable, but she didn't know why. She could only lower her head and explain to herself, "Teacher Shen said that he often listens to the works of newcomers. I have also seen him recommend some previously unknown musicians. He told me that no matter what you pursue, the first step is to let more people see your work. You can disregard worldly recognition, but you must have it. So when Teacher Shen said he was willing to help me promote my work, I agreed."
Jiang Shuiyun leaned back against the cushions. "You've only just met, and you've already done such a huge favor. Do you even know how to repay it?"
"I..." Yi Jinbai was speechless. She hadn't thought about this question. Perhaps it was because Shen Xian had always been a trustworthy and reliable person in her mind from the very beginning, so she selectively ignored this issue.
"It's alright," Jiang Shuiyun said, feeling a pang of pity for Yi Jinbai. "With me here, there won't be any problems."
“Teacher Shen is a good person.” Yi Jinbai felt that Jiang Shuiyun might have misunderstood Shen Xian, so she spoke up to explain. She wanted to say that Shen Xian was not the kind of person who would do anything or take advantage of kindness, but her words had some ambiguity.
Jiang Shuiyun looked at Yi Jinbai, paused for half a second, and then answered, "Yes, I know. Could you close the curtains for me? I'm a little sleepy and want to take a nap."
"Oh." Yi Jinbai carefully observed Jiang Shuiyun's reaction, stood up to draw the curtains, and when she turned around, Jiang Shuiyun had already lay down and closed her eyes, and the glass of water was still untouched on the bedside table.
Standing beside Jiang Shuiyun, Yi Jinbai didn't know if she was asleep or not. He just stared blankly at her slightly pale face. He didn't know what he had done wrong, but he felt a little sad, as if something was gradually drifting away.
Jiang Shuiyun slept almost all day, only having some congee at noon. However, by evening, her fever had subsided, she looked much better, and her spirits had returned. The doctor said there was nothing wrong and she could be discharged at any time.
After all, it's not a serious illness. Generally, you can go home after getting an IV drip at the hospital. But since this is the Jiang family's own hospital, there's no problem resting here.
"You must be tired after a long day, why don't you take a rest?" Jiang Shuiyun looked at Yi Jinbai, who was busy setting out dinner for her and unpacking his things. "Have you had dinner yet?"
Yi Jinbai held a towel in her hand, and she could only cover up her unease by keeping herself busy. "It's okay, I don't feel tired. You eat first."
"Let's eat together. Someone will come and clean up the mess."
Jiang Shuiyun opened the food box. All the meals were delivered, and everything else would be taken care of, so Yi Jinbai wouldn't have to work so hard.
Yi Jinbai washed her hands and sat down opposite Jiang Shuiyun, eating her food in silence. She didn't know what to say.
Jiang Shuiyun still doesn't have much of an appetite, only taking small sips of porridge. "I can be discharged from the hospital tomorrow morning and go straight to the new house. But I have some things to do tomorrow, and Shen Yunyi can't get away either. The moving has already been arranged. If there's anything inappropriate, you can just tell the person in charge, or you can wait until I get back and tell me."
Are we moving tomorrow?
Yi Jinbai is still a little uneasy about the house. She doesn't know how much it's worth, but in the heart of City A, where land is incredibly valuable, a villa like an estate must be an astronomical figure.
"Yes, the basic infrastructure and furniture inside are all in good condition. They have been inspected. If any changes or additions are needed, they can be made gradually. Don't worry, just live here with peace of mind. I have already bought the house from the Jiang family, and it will be registered in your name. You will finally have your own home."
Jiang Shuiyun remembered that since she came to this world, she and Yi Jinbai had basically been renting or staying in places they didn't know. Before, they stayed at the Miracle Team, then at Shen Yunyi's house, and now they finally had a place of their own.
"No way, how can such a valuable thing as a house be put in my name?"
Yi Jinbai was surprised that Jiang Shuiyun had given her the house directly. She immediately refused. This house was no small matter. She hadn't done anything and shouldn't accept something so valuable.
“If I say it’s okay, then it’s okay. Don’t worry about it. All the expenses for this house will be covered by Jianghu Company. You don’t need to worry about anything else,” Jiang Shuiyun had already taken care of everything for Yi Jinbai so that she wouldn’t have any worries. “This is a new home I’m giving to you.”
Jiang Shuiyun's last words made Yi Jinbai's eyes redden slightly, and he lowered his head to drink his porridge to hide his unusual expression.
Since the old director passed away, the word "home" seemed to have disappeared from her memory. She was like a drifting duckweed, but now she suddenly had a harbor to dock in.
After spending the night in the hospital, Jiang Shuiyun changed her clothes early the next morning. Yi Jinbai brought her a trench coat to wear, and her pale face was slightly concealed with makeup, so nothing could be seen.
