"Hospitals don't allow smoking, but that rule doesn't apply to Lin Hai. He sneakily hid in the women's restroom and furiously smoked a cigarette. Hearing no footsteps outside, he quietly prepared to slip out, only to step on a white, fluttering sanitary pad as he staggered out of the restroom.

"Such bad luck, running into that idiot Yu Haijing and stepping on a sanitary pad. Unlucky!" Lin Hai sighed, shaking his head as he held a bouquet of flowers, searching until he finally reached the door of Queen Qi's VIP ward.

As Lin Hai pushed open the door and stepped inside, the scene almost made him tremble enough to throw the basket of flowers and fruits he was carrying——he saw Queen Qi weakly lying on the hospital bed, with her beautiful leg in a cast hung up, and her watery big eyes blinking at him.

"Holy crap, Queen Qi, were you beaten up by a dozen bad guys?" Lin Hai blurted out, immediately realizing he had put his foot in his mouth again.

Originally weak and resting, a fiery anger burst from Queen Qi's eyes.

If it weren't for the fact she could only move her neck and above, she'd probably jump up and violently beat Lin Hai to vent her inner fury.

"Damn beast, scumbag, how dare you insult the Queen!" Queen Qi was almost bursting with anger. What did he mean she was beaten up by a dozen bad guys??

Lin Hai forced a smile, spat, and said, "Seeing the Queen, I got too excited, and accidentally let slip what I really was thinking!"

This explanation was worse than nothing. Queen Qi, already hoping for at least a small 'bone' of comfort from the mouth of Beast Lin, was almost driven insane.

Seeing Queen Qi showing a rare vulnerable look, Lin Hai couldn't help but fantasize about a scene where a dozen bad guys were beating her up, it must be thrilling...right?

"Did you come here specifically to infuriate me to death?" Queen Qi said through gritted teeth.

Lin Hai smiled sheepishly, scratching the back of his head, and explained, "I heard you were injured, so I came to see how you were."

After a pause, he added, "I just never expected your injuries to be so severe."

Cough cough!

Queen Qi coughed violently, pulling at her chest wound and wincing as she took a sharp breath, angrily glaring at Lin Hai, the man who never made her happy.

"I'm heavily injured and have no energy to bicker with you. Don't anger me, or when I recover, I might lose control of my rage and do something extreme to you, and you better not blame me," Queen Qi said, struggling to breathe and calm her inner fury.

Do something extreme to me?

Lin Hai chuckled, saying, "Queen Qi, I'm actually really looking forward to you doing something 'extreme' to me."

When he said "extreme", Lin Hai deliberately emphasized his tone, squinting his small eyes and winking continuously at Qi Weiwei, his expression sleazy.

Queen Qi felt a shiver down her spine from Lin Hai's gaze, retorting irritably, "Go to hell, keep dreaming."

"Hehe, Queen Qi, you are as beautiful as a flower, any normal man would have ideas about you, and I am a normal man, even more normal than most, so… you know what I mean." Lin Hai grinned shamelessly.

Queen Qi scoffed disdainfully, "You have nothing but hoodlum thoughts in your head."

Upon hearing this, Lin Hai raised his head, cleared his throat, and said, "I'm a good man."

"It's normal to express my true feelings, and I disdain pretense."

"True emotions are better than grandiose words. I am a real iron-willed man."

After saying this, Lin Hai proudly raised his head, his expression extremely smug, and shook his leg incessantly, looking like he was asking for a beating.

Queen Qi really didn't want to argue with this guy any further, fearing she might literally get mad to death. She turned her head away and closed her eyes - out of sight, out of mind.

Lin Hai quietly moved closer to Queen Qi's head, aiming at her beautifully contoured little ear, and gently exhaled a breath of warm air.

Queen Qi, with her eyes closed and head turned, was already seething with hatred, but she knew she wasn't a match for Lin Hai in a battle of words, so she pretended not to notice.

Seeing Queen Qi didn't react, Lin Hai gently bit her reddening earlobe.

"Ah!" Qi Weiwei felt an incredibly tingling sensation through her earlobe, feeling an electric tingling sensation all over her body, making her both ashamed and angry. Her body reflexively wanted to strike back, but it pulled at her injuries, causing her to grimace in pain, nearly bringing tears to her eyes.

Gritting her teeth with fury, Qi Weiwei decided in her heart that once she recovered and got discharged from the hospital, she was definitely going to beat Lin Hai to a pulp.

"I've broken seven ribs, and you're still bullying me? You believe I won't let the whole police team beat you to death?" Queen Qi fought back her stubborn tears, pouted her alluring red lips, and threatened.

Upon reflection, Lin Hai realized it was indeed true. Though Queen Qi was lying in bed, unable to move, she had long established her authority in the police force, and her fearsome reputation as a tigress was still intact. With just one command, those young and hot-blooded officers would probably throw him into the sea of people, leading to a total loss for him.

"Cough cough, Queen Qi, it's just a joke. Come on, see what gift I brought for you?" Lin Hai chuckled, hiding the small flower basket behind his back with a mysterious smile.

Queen Qi snorted coldly, yet a bit of warmth stirred in her heart. Annoying as he was, this guy still had a conscience, visiting her and even bringing gifts from afar.

"Come, ta-da, look, such beautiful flowers!" Lin Hai boasted, presenting the flower basket from behind his back with a smug grin, eagerly waiting for praise.

A surge of emotion washed over Queen Qi's heart. She thought to herself that this guy wasn't entirely useless. Though just a security guard, she wasn't too demanding about her partner's job; a good character was truly important.

Moreover, the guy had gone through all the trouble to create a romantic gesture, understanding enough to bring her flowers. After all, she had never been given flowers by a man before in her life.

With this thought, Queen Qi felt a flicker of affection, and the anger from Lin Hai's previous joke seemed to dissipate like smoke.

However, Queen Qi's expression changed entirely when she fixed her gaze upon the flower basket Lin Hai was showing off.

"Queen Qi, look, aren't the flowers beautiful? They're for you." Lin Hai still naively smiled, blissfully unaware.

"Beautiful my ass, flowers my ass!" Queen Qi ground her teeth, her voice almost squeaking through clenched teeth as her beautiful eyes reflected Lin Hai's image completely engulfed in fury.

Lin Hai was stunned: "What's going on?"

"What's going on your uncle!" Queen Qi wished she could leap up despite her injuries and beat Lin Hai to dust.

Lin Hai became defiant, immediately protesting and retorting: "Hey, Queen Qi, don't go too far, I brought you gifts and nourishments from far away with good intentions, picked these beautiful flowers, and you can't even utter a word of thanks."

"Not only do you not thank me, but you keep cursing me, let me tell you, I'm easy-going, but that doesn't mean I don't have principles and bottom lines, don't you go too far!" Saying this, Lin Hai indignantly placed the flower basket right in front of Queen Qi.

Qi Weiwei was utterly furious, nearly screaming: "You brain-dead beast, scum, how big of a brain hole must you have to buy such flowers? And to give them to me? Why don't you give them to yourself!"

Lin Hai was puzzled, the flowers seemed pretty, why was Queen Qi so furious? Was there something taboo about them, or was Queen Qi allergic to these flowers? If it's an allergy, isn't the reaction a bit too severe?

"Beast Lin, take a good look, what are these flowers?" Queen Qi bit her teeth, forcibly reminding herself to stay rational and not to get angry.

Lin Hai looked puzzled: "White flowers, quite pretty!"

"These are the flowers you send to the deceased!" Queen Qi said with immense sorrow and rage.

Lin Hai's eyes widened, and he peered closely. There seemed to be some writing on the basket.

Leaning forward, Lin Hai saw the small writing on the basket, his mouth gaping wide as he stood frozen, cold sweat dripping from his forehead, mentally crying out: "Oh man, this was an accidental death wish."

The content on the basket read: "In mourning, eternal remembrance…"

"This… this…" Lin Hai suddenly shuddered, smacking his head, recalling the look of pity and sympathy the old lady at the flower shop had given him when he left, which he thought was crazy, watching a customer with such eyes. Now he understood, she must have thought he was mourning a deceased loved one.

Lin Hai stood there deflated like a frostbitten eggplant, head hanging down, appearing like a child who had done something wrong, his eyes inadvertently stealing glances at the angry face of Queen Qi, then quickly darting away.

Queen Qi's eyes were filled with an unspoken bitterness, her chest heaving under her bandages, clearly livid from Lin Hai's actions.

Just then, the door of the hospital room was pushed open.
