“Are you… okay?” He looked at her and the indifference from before had faded away, though his deep voice sounded a little hoarse.
This made Shi Nuannuan very happy.
“I’m fine. Brother Hao said that I can be discharged from the hospital tomorrow. After that, I can rest at home for a few days and finally remove the cast!”
Xiangyi finally felt relieved after listening to her. His heart had been hanging in the air this whole time.
Then, there was silence.
“Have you eaten lunch?”
“Yes.”
“What did you eat?” Shi Nuannuan could not seem to find any other topic to talk about.
“I just ate a little.”
“Oh.”
The atmosphere fell silent again.
For a long time, the two of them did not speak again.
Shi Nuannuan really could not find any topic to talk about. He didn’t seem very responsive either.
“Um, I’ll go back now.”
“Okay.”
‘Can’t you be a little more enthusiastic?’
Shi Nuannuan was frustrated. She glared at him with some dissatisfaction. Then, she reached out for her crutch and was about to stand up.
However, just as her hand touched the edge of the it, she suddenly stopped. She stole a glance at Xiangyi who had not looked at her from the beginning.
Last time, he had also revealed a nervous expression when she was injured. If she were to do it again, would Xiangyi feel sorry for her, or would he just lie on the bed and watch coldly?
Shi Nuannuan remembered a quote from one of the books she read, “Pretend to be sick and see how he treats you.”
“Ah!”
Xiangyi heard a thud followed by a scream. He turned around and saw Shi Nuannuan on the ground.
He felt his heart tighten. Without even thinking, Xiangyi got up and rushed out of the hospital bed!
“Nuannuan!”
He rushed to her side and bent down. When he reached out to help her up, he touched the wound on his back. There was a sharp pain, so painful that his face suddenly changed and he broke out in cold sweat!
However, his heart was still focused on Shi Nuannuan who had suddenly fallen.
He endured the intense pain and helped her up. “How are you?”
His voice was obviously strained, but Shi Nuannuan did not notice it. She only felt his anxious cries.
This meant that Xiangyi cared about her, right?
She turned her head and suddenly hooked her arm around his neck. “You like me, right?”
But when she had a proper look at him, his expression did not look right.
The smile on Shi Nuannuan’s lips froze and she stared at him with concern. “What’s wrong?”
Xiangyi furrowed his brows. It was only when he saw her smiling face that he realized something was wrong.
“You fell on purpose?”
Shi Nuannuan nodded blankly. “Yes, I wanted to see your reaction…”
Xiangyi stared at her and his originally tense heart finally heaved a sigh of relief.
“Don’t do it again.”
His lips were chapped and his face was so pale that there was not a trace of blood on it.
Shi Nuannuan did not understand what was wrong with him. She held onto his neck and stared at his pale face. “Your, your face…”
Xiangyi glanced at her but his vision suddenly started to get blurry. In the next moment, he had already fallen.
Xiangyi?” Shi Nuannuan was scared out of her wits and did not know what to do. “Xiangyi, what happened to you… don’t scare me!”
She raised her hand and wanted to pat his face gently, but just as she reached out, she realized that her hand was suddenly covered in blood..
What was going on?
Shi Nuannuan was so scared that her whole body trembled and her face turned pale!
Then, she caught a glimpse of Xiangyi’s back and saw fresh blood continuously flowing out from his back to the floor..
“Doctor… doctor! Someone come quickly!” She quickly called out.
