Chapter 74: Chapter 50 The Heart Beats Irregularly
Due to Ji Sang’s words, Yi Feng fell into a brief silence. Just as Ji Sang was about to stand up, unable to bear the eerie silence, Yi Feng spoke up.
“Sister Ah Shang, it doesn’t matter if you don’t remember me, it’s enough that I do,”
After saying that, his face, which had shed its domineering presence, revealed a warm smile with its youthful tenderness.
“But, can we start by being friends, Sister Ah Shang?”
Yi Feng’s thought was simple; as long as he could appear in front of Ji Sang from time to time, one day she would remember everything.
She would remember that she had such a younger brother.

...
Perhaps it was the pleading and cautious look in Yi Feng’s eyes or perhaps the faint sense of familiarity that rose within her when she saw the orphanage documents, Ji Sang did not refuse.
It’s just that…
Ji Sang’s brow furrowed slightly with a bit of a headache.
“You… can you not call me Sister Ah Shang?”
Ji Sang struggled to utter these four words. The Little President Yi of the Yi Group always seemed like a little puppy in front of her, with that cautious look in his eyes – anyone who didn’t know better would think she was bullying him.
Hearing her words, Yi Feng’s eyes lit up, knowing she must not have rejected him.
“Thank you! Sister Ah Shang!”
“!!!!!!!”
Ji Sang extended her hand, her face full of rejection,
“Don’t…”
Just then, Song Xiu, who had been standing outside, suddenly came in,
“Sister Ji, I’ve brought lunch for you,”
Hearing Song Xiu’s voice, Ji Sang breathed a sigh of relief. She really couldn’t face Yi Feng’s enthusiasm.
She took the lunch box with a polite thank you. In the moment when he lowered his head, the smile at the corner of Song Xiu’s mouth suddenly disappeared, and he coldly looked at Yi Feng sitting on the sofa.
Now, calling her Sister Ah Shang, Sister Ah Shang, but why was it that yesterday, when you saw Sister Ji, your face was pale and you were so aggressive?
Although that’s what he was thinking, Song Xiu’s eyes unknowingly revealed a hint of smugness.
See, I can call her Sister Ji openly and confidently.
The tenderness Yi Feng had just shown Ji Sang was swiftly put away, and he naturally took a seat next to her on the long sofa.
“Is it okay if I call you Sister Ah Shang?”
The sudden closeness caused Ji Sang to subconsciously lean to the side. Regardless of what he said, she quickly nodded, hoping Yi Feng would stay further away from her.
A triumphant smile flashed across Yi Feng’s eyes, and he looked provocatively at Song Xiu, who stood beside him.
Song Xiu: …
Then, Yi Feng made a point of calling out in front of Song Xiu,
“Sister Ah Shang”
…
After Yi Feng had to leave due to company matters, the modest-sized reception room suddenly fell into silence.
Song Xiu pursed his lips, and after struggling internally for a while, still chose to sit opposite Ji Sang.
“Sister Ji,”
He had just called out when he felt uncomfortable all over. Why should that guy be allowed to call her Sister Ah Shang?
So…
Song Xiu cleared his throat twice.
“Sister Ah Shang”
Ji Sang: …
Her hand holding the chopsticks shook, and the piece of meat she had picked up fell back down. Ji Sang looked over at Song Xiu with a restrained expression. As she opened her mouth to speak, he quickly gestured with his hand,
“Forget it, forget it, I’ll just call you Sister Ji.”
After all, the ones who call her Sister Ji now are only him and Xiao Ting.
Ji Sang gave him a baffled look and muttered softly,
“Quite Strange”
After dinner, Ji Sang spent a long time looking at the documents Yi Feng had left behind.
Tianxin Orphanage.
Ji Sang entered these words into the computer, but did not get any search results. Initially, when she was brought back to the Ji Family, she had a fever and forgot about the orphanage, and Mr. and Mrs. Ji did not mention that they had adopted her from there.
It was not until Ji Sang turned eighteen that they came clean about it.
By then, Ji Sang had completely adapted to life with the Ji Family and hearing this news, she merely stayed silent for a long time, not inquiring about any details concerning the orphanage.
She only knew that the orphanage was disbanded not long after her adoption.
Her parents had always been very secretive about the orphanage, barely mentioning it.
Then, with Yi Feng’s sudden appearance, she couldn’t shake the feeling that some of the deep-buried matters were starting to resurface.
What mysteries lay in the events of that year?
Ji Sang pondered for a long time but found that whenever she tried to think of those forgotten memories, her head would begin to throb.
In the end, she had no choice but to let it go.
When it was nearly time to get off work, Ji Sang obediently waited in the office for Fu Yisi. Indeed, Fu Yisi did call, but the moment she answered, she heard that he couldn’t come over.
“There’s been a series of car accidents in the city today; I’m afraid I can’t come to pick you up.”
Fu Yisi’s voice was as cold as usual, but Ji Sang still heard a hint of apology in it.
The background noise was chaotic; without guessing, she knew how urgent it must be on his end.
“It’s okay, I can manage on my own.”
As if worried he would still be concerned, Ji Sang quickly added,
“My leg doesn’t hurt anymore.”
Only then did Fu Yisi feel reassured to agree, leaving her with a reminder,
“Drive slowly on the road.”
Perhaps because of the lingering memory of her injured leg, or the recent mention of the car accidents.
Oddly, Ji Sang felt a warm current sweep over her heart and obediently responded,
“Okay.”
After hanging up, Ji Sang packed up her belongings to leave, her gaze lingering on the documents on the table for a moment. Still, she eventually placed them in her bag.
Due to the serial car accidents, the traffic in S city was congested. Ji Sang drove unhurriedly, slowly realizing that this route was actually leading to City First Hospital.
Her hand paused on the steering wheel, abandoning the thought of turning back.
The hospital was bustling, and he surely had no time to eat.
The corners of Ji Sang’s lips curled slightly, as she suddenly remembered the bowl of porridge she had drunk that day in the hospital. Wasn’t that restaurant nearby?
She decided to go see him.
With this thought, a faint smile formed on her lips. It seemed that the previously congested road had somehow become much clearer, and in her pleasant mood, Ji Sang felt an eager anticipation to see Fu Yisi.
Even if she could only wait for him in his office, it was better than going back to eat alone.
And so, her foot pressed down a little more on the accelerator.
…
City First Hospital, this series of car accidents involved a significant number of people, including a tour bus with over twenty passengers. The ER of City First Hospital was in chaos. As the vice director of surgery and a renowned doctor, Fu Yisi was assigned to treat the most urgent cases.
After one surgery followed by another, even Fu Yisi’s eyes were rimmed with red, displaying his fatigue.
After completing the third surgery, Fu Yisi finally took a breather. Only patients with less serious wounds were left, which could be handled by interns like Xiao Zhang and the nurses.
Fu Yisi returned to his office, sat down, and closed his eyes for a short rest. However, within a few minutes, he stood up again, looking out at the darkening sky outside the window.
For some reason, his heart was beating somewhat abnormally.
The man furrowed his brow slightly, tilting his head back to drink a large cup of cold water, trying to suppress this inexplicable panic. But after a chilly swallow, that burning sensation of anxiety became even more pronounced.
Fu Yisi ran a hand through his slightly tousled hair. Suddenly, his gaze sharpened, he pulled out his phone, and quickly dialed Ji Sang’s number.
Dial tone…
No answer.
The man’s countenance instantly tensed. Just as he was about to hang up and redial, the door to the office was pushed open, and he saw Xiao Zhang’s somewhat flustered appearance.
