TSFLIP Chapter 1081

Fengguang thought for a moment. “Are you saying he’ll be locked up like this for the rest of his life?”

“All I can say is that most psychiatric patients never fully recover, let alone Mr. Nangong…” Qi Wei replied. “He has a severe personality disorder and strong aggressive tendencies. Unless something unexpected happens, I don’t think the hospital will approve his discharge.”

“I see…” Fengguang thought to herself: He does get out in the end. Not only does he escape, but he also leaves with Yao Xiaoxiao, and the two of them live happily together.

“Miss Xia,” Qi Wei said with a faint, pleasant smile, “do you not trust our hospital’s security measures?”

She wanted to say no, but looking into his gently smiling eyes, she found herself unable to lie. Her gaze shifted slightly. “Didn’t you say he’s already escaped three times? The only reason he’s still here is that there’s no boat to leave the island.”

“That’s true.” Qi Wei nodded, then smiled again. “But he had those chances when I wasn’t working here. Now things are different—he won’t be escaping again.”

Doctor… do you know what it means to jinx yourself?

Fengguang didn’t know where his confidence came from, but his calm, harmless smile was oddly convincing. She forced a half-hearted smile. “With Dr. Qi here, of course, everything’s fine.”

It’d be even better if you were willing to leave this place with me.

The more she talked to him, the more she felt this man had no intention of leaving the island. Did that mean she’d have to stay in this awful place and date him? If it were just remote or poor, that’d be one thing—but this place was full of psychiatric patients. Her personal safety wasn’t exactly guaranteed.

Seeing her suddenly fall silent, brows furrowed, Qi Wei asked, “What are you thinking about, Miss Xia?”

“Whether I should stay here with you.”

His expression froze for a brief moment. “With me?”

Realizing what she had just said, Fengguang quickly covered her mouth. Wait—this was her target. She couldn’t back down now. Lowering her hand, she cleared her throat and stammered, “Y-yeah… I mean, I was just thinking about whether I should stay here with you. I already told you—I fell in love with you at first sight.”

“I thought that was just an excuse to break off your engagement.”

“I never use feelings as an excuse.”
(Okay… maybe 50% of it was an excuse.)

Gathering her courage, she asked, “Do you like men?”

“…No.”

“Well, that’s perfect then. Before I met you, I didn’t like anyone either.” She grinned shamelessly. “See? We’re clearly meant to meet. So how about you fall in love with me at first sight too?”

Qi Wei suddenly laughed. “Miss Xia, you’re very interesting. However, I have no intention of loving anyone other than myself.”

That made her pause. “What do you mean?”

“Spending time on myself is far more interesting than spending it on others,” he said. “I don’t believe in marriage.”

It hit her like a bolt from the blue.

But Fengguang wasn’t about to give up. “Then don’t get married. We can just stay in a relationship forever.”

“A lifetime is a very long time… Wouldn’t you find it boring to spend every day with the same person?” he asked.

“If that person is you, then it definitely wouldn’t be.”

For the first time, she felt like she had maxed out her romance skill.
