Chapter 5: I Like The Way You Don't Like Me And Can't Kill Me

After putting down the phone, Song Yuqing felt inexplicably happy.

She realized that Young Master Lin had another charm: he was real and grounded. He could easily joke around and didn't have the burden of being the eldest son. He was so comfortable to talk to.

There was an unspoken sense of flirtation between them, like a couple in love.

Inexplicably, she started looking forward to their dinner tonight.

Meanwhile, Lin Beifan also put down his phone, a smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

"My wife is chasing me again!"

They were both older and already married, but they still had to fall in love again. Really!

In their past life, their story unfolded just like this. Song Yuqing was always more proactive. Back then, Lin Beifan was cold, focused on improving his strength while dealing with the protagonist. But as time went on, even a heart of stone would be moved, and they eventually came together, teaming up to deal with the protagonist.

But this time, it's different.

This time, they're both actively pursuing each other!

After Lin Beifan got out of bed and washed up, it was time to get down to business.

As a villain, what was his serious business?

Of course, it was to deal with the protagonist!

His life was so predictable and boring.

When he arrived at the hospital, he bought a bunch of white carnations at the entrance and walked into the hospital ward with a solemn expression. He handed the flowers to the "mummy" lying in bed.

"Please accept my condolences…"

The protagonist, Xiao Chen, stared at him, speechless.

"Ah, no! I'm sorry, I said that wrong!"

Lin Beifan stayed serious: "What I meant was, please look away, don't frown!"

Xiao Chen: "..."

Can you stop making me frown?

As soon as Xiao Chen woke up and saw his enemy, Lin Beifan, he was instantly frustrated.

"Unlucky!"

Lin Beifan continued, "The doctor said it's just a few broken ribs, nothing serious. You're still young, and your body can heal quickly. In two months, you'll be able to get out of bed and walk again. It won't affect your life much!"

Xiao Chen's face turned green.

Two months?

You're telling me I have to lie down for two months?

In two months, both you and Song Yuqing will probably have a baby!

Xiao Chen couldn't understand why, after being reborn, things were even worse this time.

In his past life, he had just been forced to slap the other party's face, with no real harm done.

But in this life, he was stuck in a hospital bed, forced to lie down for two straight months.

Wasn't he supposed to be the protagonist? Why was his life so miserable now?

Enduring the pain in his chest, Xiao Chen gritted his teeth and said, "I thank you! I really, really... really thank you!"

"You're welcome!" Lin Beifan grinned. "We're all like Lei Feng, always ready to help!"

I love how much you hate me but can't do anything about it! Lin Beifan thought.

"Well, it's getting late. I won't disturb your rest. I'm off to spend time with my girlfriend!"

Xiao Chen was taken aback. "Girlfriend?"

"Yeah, the woman who brought you here yesterday!" Lin Beifan said, grinning. "She's beautiful, gentle, kind, and smart. I can't let someone like that slip away. We're going out for dinner later!"

Xiao Chen turned green again.

What the hell?

How did you progress so quickly?

You had dinner with her yesterday, and now you're already going out again today?

In my last life, you only met every few days!

Are you going to sleep together in a few days too?

He couldn't let things develop like this!

Otherwise, he'd end up wearing another green hat, and it would still be the same person doing it.

He couldn't lose face as a rebirth!

"Wait... wait a minute!" Xiao Chen shouted, struggling.

"Do you have something else you need?" Lin Beifan asked, smiling.

Xiao Chen forced a smile and said, "Can you... can you help me contact my senior brother?"

"Senior brother?"

"Yes, one of my older brothers. We have a very good relationship!"

Lin Beifan raised an eyebrow slightly.

He knew about Xiao Chen's senior brother, Zhao Siming, a man in his 30s with excellent medical skills and a well-known doctor at Song Hospital. In the process of the protagonist's rise, Zhao Siming had helped him immensely.

In the original novel, it was Zhao Siming who had introduced Xiao Chen to Song Hospital, where he quickly rose to fame due to his brilliant medical skills, eventually catching the eye of the heroine, Song Yuqing.

And in that version of events, Xiao Chen had revealed his identity as a descendant of the ghost doctor, as well as Song Yuqing's fiancé. Naturally, this led to the two becoming involved with each other.

A very cliché plot, but it had been ruined by Lin Beifan.

Not only did Zhao Siming lose his job, but the protagonist was also kicked out of the hospital, out of the medical world, and lost all face.

This time, Lin Beifan was curious to see how the protagonist would struggle.

"Alright, no problem!" Lin Beifan agreed.

Half an hour later...

A middle-aged man, in his 30s, with an air of scholarly seriousness, stood before the injured Xiao Chen, his face a mix of excitement and sorrow.

"Junior Brother, what happened to you? Who did this?" Zhao Siming asked, his voice filled with concern.
