Chapter 161: Hospitalization Benefits?

"Yun Xuan..." Qin Yun and Qin Zhihua hurried over to the side of the compact car. Yun Xuan had crashed directly into the car window, startling the driver into jumping back, though fortunately, no one was seriously injured.

"I'm fine... Could someone please help me call an ambulance?" Yun Xuan's voice was a bit weak as he slowly tried to get up.

"Young man, lie back down, don't move just yet, you might make things worse." The middle-aged driver let out a sigh of relief upon hearing Yun Xuan speak.

"It's alright. Don't look at me like this; I know my own body very well. Is everyone alright over by that large truck?" Yun Xuan pressed a handkerchief, handed to him by Qin Yun, against his bleeding head.

"The truck driver got out, and there was no one else in that area since it's just a plaza. The truck cabin was empty." Qin Yun glanced at the open door of the large truck and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yun Xuan, I'm sorry, this is all my fault." Qin Zhihua wept, covering her mouth with her hands. At that moment, she finally understood how deeply she cared for Yun Xuan, and she was consumed by regret for her earlier behavior.

"It's fine. What I said was too hurtful anyway. Senior Zhihua, you should understand your position in Principal Qin Yun's heart by now, right?" Yun Xuan smiled weakly.

"Yes, Mom, I'm sorry. I won't do things like this anymore, and I'll drop that other matter entirely." With reddened eyes, Qin Zhihua embraced Qin Yun and began to sob.

"As long as you're okay. Don't worry, if this little troublemaker says he's fine, then he definitely is. If you're still worried, you should stay at the hospital and take care of him." Qin Yun wiped away her tears and said softly.

Yun Xuan cast a surprised look at Qin Yun, then immediately understood and scratched his head awkwardly.

"Yun Xuan-kun? What happened here?" A voice rang out as two young girls walked over.

"Mikoto-san, Kuroko-san, why are you two here?" Yun Xuan asked in surprise as he looked at the newcomers.

"Kuroko and I were planning to buy a few things. They just delivered our purchases back home, and we were heading out to grab a cup of coffee when we happened to run into you... Are you really alright? Should we have Kuroko take you to the hospital?" Misaka Mikoto surveyed Yun Xuan's condition and could tell the injuries weren't life-threatening.

"No need, the ambulance will be here shortly." Yun Xuan waved his hand.

...

Before long, both an ambulance and the police arrived. Yun Xuan offered a deeply apologetic explanation of the situation, claiming that he and Qin Zhihua had been arguing, which caused her to miss the approaching truck, and stated that he was willing to fully compensate for the damages to both the truck and the car.

The surrounding onlookers showered Yun Xuan with praise upon hearing the story. Misaka Mikoto also looked at him with renewed appreciation; being willing to take responsibility like that made him a genuinely good person.

Once the police discovered Yun Xuan's identity, they were thoroughly terrified. A Four-Star Chef? Goodness gracious, this was an elite member of the Culinary Association! If anything happened to him here in Fangyu City, the consequences would be unimaginable. If Yun Xuan were to actually die, the traffic department officials would be the first ones to lose their jobs.

...

Looking relatively unharmed, Yun Xuan was transported to the First People's Hospital of Fangyu City. The compensation and follow-up matters were handled by Qin Yun. Qin Zhihua stayed behind at the hospital, while Misaka Mikoto and Shirai Kuroko took their leave due to their own commitments.

Once inside the hospital room, Yun Xuan suddenly realized that he was still lacking a secretary.

Yun Xuan'er was the proprietress of Xuanxue Restaurant, He Wenyue managed Qiuyue Pavilion, Changyue was affiliated with the Northern Sauce Studio, and it was simply impossible to pull Kazamatsuri Haku away from her current duties.

What Yun Xuan needed right now was someone whose combat strength didn't necessarily have to be overwhelming, but who was capable of managing his various business ventures and stepping in to help during emergencies.

"What's wrong, Yun Xuan? Is something hurting?" Qin Zhihua asked anxiously, noticing Yun Xuan's silence.

"It's nothing. I was just thinking that I really need a secretary to manage my businesses, look after Qiuyue Pavilion, Xuanxue Restaurant, and Xuanxun House." Yun Xuan smiled.

"A secretary? Me... could I do it?" A blush crept onto Qin Zhihua's face.

"Senior Zhihua is majoring in fine arts, right? Your studies should still come first." Yun Xuan gave a wry smile.

"Does it just require management skills? I actually know someone. During her internship, she worked as a supervisor at a company and significantly increased their performance. Unfortunately, her boss was a scoundrel who tried to hit on her and proposition her for unspoken rules. In the end, she kicked that boss right in his... sensitive spot, and ran back to school." Qin Zhihua mused aloud.

"You know someone with management talent?" Yun Xuan's eyes lit up. If it was someone Qin Zhihua knew, there wouldn't be any major issues.

"Well... but we're not that close. She doesn't seem to have many friends and is rather cold and aloof, but her management abilities should be solid." Qin Zhihua hesitated before speaking.

"That's fine. Just tell me her name, and I'll go check her out at Fangyu University." Yun Xuan said with a smile.

"Her name is Misa Santou. She's very pretty and quite popular at Fangyu University." A conflicted expression appeared on Qin Zhihua's face. If she introduced Misa Santou to Yun Xuan, would the two of them end up... together?

Misa Santou's beauty was not inferior to her own, and coupled with her classic straight black hair and D-cup figure, no man could simply ignore her.

"Misa Santou? I'll keep that in mind and visit her another day." Yun Xuan murmured the name.

...

Nine o'clock in the evening.

"Xiao Xuan, make sure you get plenty of rest and don't run around. I'll leave him in your care, Zhihua," Yun Xuan'er said softly.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of Yun Xuan until he's completely recovered," Qin Zhihua stated earnestly.

"Big brother, get well soon," Yun Xue said reluctantly before following Yun Xuan'er out the door.

"I really feel so sorry for them. Yun Xuan, if you need anything, just let me know, and I'll take good care of you," Qin Zhihua said, a look of guilt on her face.

"Um... I need to use the restroom, but my hands are a bit... injured. So... could you help me?" Yun Xuan said in a low voice.

"Eh?!" Qin Zhihua froze, her mind going completely blank.

...

A dozen minutes later, Yun Xuan and Qin Zhihua emerged from the private bathroom of the VIP ward. Qin Zhihua's face was flushed with an unmistakable crimson, while Yun Xuan wore an expression of sheer satisfaction.

Having never taken care of anyone before, Qin Zhihua had very innocently assisted Yun Xuan through the process of bodily metabolism... and she had even had to hold it for him with her hand.

For someone seeing that part of a man for the very first time, Qin Zhihua was overwhelmed by a mixture of blushing embarrassment and shyness, and the lingering warmth of it still seemed to cling to her hand.

The thought that Yun Xuan had already shared intimate moments with Qin Yun, combined with the recent sensory stimulation, somehow made Qin Zhihua's face burn even hotter.

The reason Yun Xuan felt so comfortable was, naturally, because of Qin Zhihua. He had never experienced anything quite like that in front of a girl—especially having Qin Zhihua hold him with her hand; the sensation was simply beyond words.

Most importantly, thinking of both Qin Zhihua and Qin Yun, Yun Xuan couldn't help entertaining some mischievous fantasies about what it would feel like to have the two of them together...

*Click.* The door opened, and Qin Yun walked in.

"Zhihua and I are sleeping together tonight. If you dare try anything with her, don't blame me for taking that thing of yours and... *snip*." Qin Yun flashed a radiant smile and made a scissor gesture in the air.

"Absolutely not, I'm a person of pure character." Although his mind was already plotting, Yun Xuan put on a wry, helpless smile on the surface.
