Starlight Has No Past
Chapter 41 Part 1

Ye Qiao was still in the ICU and couldn’t receive visitors. Zhou Tingsheng could only watch doctors and nurses come in and out of the ward, sometimes catching a glance of her from afar. It wasn’t until the next day that Ye Qiao was transferred to the general ward and Zhou Tingsheng could finally keep her company by her bedside.

Ye Zhiliang, his wife, and Ye Qiao’s grandmother visited Ye Qiao together before returning to the hotel. Ye Qiao was still quite weak and fell asleep right after the visit. As she slept, waves of people came to visit, including her company’s upper management and crew members from the movie. Qianxi turned all of them down, giving them the excuse that a patient needs rest in peace and quiet. Zheng Xishuo also came to the hospital, dragging the media after him when he came.

Zheng Xishuo thought he was rather close to Ye Qiao and should’ve been allowed to see her. He got rid of the media, came back to the ward secretly, and grabbed Qianxi: “Now you can tell me, how’s Qiaoqiao doing now?”
Qianxi spread out her arms, blocking him from entering the room: “Don’t, don’t come in! My cousin’s sleeping, don’t wake her up!”
Zheng Xishuo couldn’t get past her and tried to sneak in from under Qianxi’s arm: “I’ll just take one glance of her! I promise. I won’t wake her up!” Qianxi knelt down to block the doorway: “No way!”
“Go away!” “I won’t!” “Have I offended you before……” “I won’t move!”

When Gu Jin came out of the elevator with a bouquet of lilies, he happened to see Zheng Xishuo and Qianxi struggling with each other. The two instantly straightened up when they saw Gu Jin. Zheng Xishuo flicked the dust on his sleeve and asked with a darkened face: “Why are you here?”
Qianxi could tell the unfriendliness in his tone and backed away a little, not wanting to get caught in between. Gu Jin, however, gave a good natured smile: “I’ve come to see Qiaoqiao.” Then he turned to ask Qianxi: “Is your cousin in this room?”
Qianxi was taken aback by his presence and attitude and nodded: “......En.”

Gu Jin went over to open the door. Irritated, Zheng Xishuo slapped Qianxi’s head: “Where’d your imposing demeanor go! You’re so scared of him that you let him in? Didn’t you say your cousin needs rest and won’t see anybody?”
With the smack, Qianxi shrank her head and hesitantly said: “He’s the one who’s responsible for all this; he has to see her……”

As they squabble, the door opened from the inside. Zhou Tingsheng blocked the doorway and forced Gu Jin from entering the room.
As the two men stood there facing each other, Zheng Xishuo gave Qianxi a stare: To hell with not seeing anyone! Who’s this inside the room?
Zhou Tingsheng turned his hand to close the door and glanced at Qianxi’s direction: “Send the guest off first.”

Qianxi paused for a second before she started to drag Zheng Xishuo away. Zheng Xishuo wouldn’t budge. Qianxi tugged and dragged: “Please, please! Let’s go, fast, come back next time!” Zheng Xishuo understood what had been going on the moment he saw Zhou Tingsheng come out of the room. He was unwillingly dragged away, cursing all the while. After they were some distance away, he suddenly shouted in the empty hallway: “You, the Zhou guy, if you have the guts, then don’t let him go in!”

As Zheng Xishuo’s voice echoed in the hallway, Zhou Tingsheng, leaning against the door with arms crossed over his chest, fixed his eyes on Gu Jin.
Gu Jin figured that it’s impossible for Zhou Tingsheng to let him inside. He handed over the bouquet and politely said: “Since Qiaoqiao is resting, please give this to her for me. I’ll come back some other day.”

Zhou Tingsheng didn’t even look at the flowers. He took the bouquet and flung it away. The flowers fell on a row of chairs nearby and fell onto the floor.
Gu Jin frowned: “You……”
“She’s allergic to pollen.”
Gu Jin found the entire situation rather ridiculous and laughed: “I wouldn’t know whether she’s allergic to pollen or not?”

Zhou Tingsheng’s facial expression turned cold: “So you know?” He suddenly stepped forward and picked up Gu Jin’s collar with one hand and threw Gu Jin onto the chairs. Surprised, Gu Jin staggered and fell onto the metal chair with a thud. The tall man crushed the lilies into pieces.

A nurse pushing a cart happened to pass by. She gave a panicked cry as she pushed the cart to the side to avoid them. Gu Jin sat on the floor with his long legs spread out, in visible pain. Zhou Tingsheng picked him up to make way for the nurse. The nurse was about to say something but swallowed her her words when she saw the look in Zhou Tingsheng’s eyes.
The nurse pushed the cart past them, with the rattling sound of the cart in the background, Zhou Tingsheng clutched Gu Jin’s collar: “You know she isn’t allergic to pollen, then you must know that she has a heart problem?”

There was a streak of blood on Gu Jin’s forehead. He looked up and said: “I’ll take all the necessary responsibility for the accident, all the medical expenses, and compensate for any emotional distress……”
