Shi Yi slowly opened her eyes. The surroundings were a monotonous white, and she could faintly sll disinfectant in the air. She quickly realized she was in a hospital.
She stared blankly at the ceiling, her eyes shifting as scenes of intense mories flashed through her mind. The clear images and the faint pain on her cheek reminded her that all of this was not a dream but had truly happened.
Shi Yi abruptly sat up in bed. She was in a hospital, so what about Yixiu? He was so severely injured. How was he doing now?
"Miss, you’re awake?" The nurse on the sofa across from the bed quickly stood up when she saw Shi Yi awake.
"Where is Yixiu? Where is Yixiu now? Where is he?"
"Are you asking about President Leng? Miss, don’t worry. After the ergency treatnt, President Leng is out of danger and has been transferred to the VIP room next door."
Upon hearing this, Shi Yi let out a long sigh of relief and asked in a low voice, "Where is this? Why am I here?"
"This is Shengde Hospital, Miss. You are safe now."
"Shengde?" Shi Yi frowned.
Who brought her here? Yixiu? No, it couldn’t be him. He had already passed out from excessive blood loss before she lost consciousness, so the only person who could have brought her here was Feng Chengyu.
"Was it Feng Chengyu who brought here?"
"I don’t know the na of the gentleman who brought you here, but he was very tall and handso, a mixed-race, absolutely cool," the nurse couldn’t help but gush.
Hearing the nurse say this, Shi Yi imdiately confird her suspicion and asked, "Where is he now?"
"That gentleman left shortly after bringing you here after giving so instructions."
"Is that so?"
Shi Yi frowned, feeling a bit displeased. After all, she was in this state mostly because of Feng Chengyu. Yet, he simply brought her to the hospital and left without saying a word. This person was really... unlikable.
Despite her displeasure, this was not the most pressing issue at the mont. Although the nurse said that Yixiu was out of danger, Shi Yi was still worried and decided to go see him in person.
Shi Yi followed the nurse to the VIP room where Yixiu was staying. When she pushed open the door and walked in, she saw that the man in the bed was already awake.
The man saw her the mont she opened the door, smiled, and waved her over, "Co here."
Due to excessive blood loss, the man’s face was sowhat pale, but for so reason, his smile didn’t seem as annoying to her as before.
Almost involuntarily, Shi Yi followed his beckoning, walking step by step towards the bed, and finally stopping at the bedside. She lowered her eyes to look at the man on the bed and moved her lips, "Are your injuries okay?"
"Are you worried about ?"
Shi Yi’s expression changed, "You are my lifesaver, of course, I’m concerned about your condition. If sothing happened to you because of , I couldn’t bear the responsibility."
"Is it just because of that?"
"What else could it be?"
"Does the agreent we made yesterday still count?"
Agreent?
Shi Yi suddenly recalled the things she said to Yixiu in the little wooden house, and her face showed a hint of awkwardness, "Of course... of course, it counts. But as for being your girlfriend, it still depends on your behavior in the future. Yixiu, to be honest, I don’t reject you like I used to, but not rejecting doesn’t an liking. If I rashly agreed to be your girlfriend now, it wouldn’t be respectful to you. I think matters of love should be taken seriously."
Shi Yi carefully observed Yixiu’s expression, thinking he would be displeased, but to her surprise, the man simply smiled faintly, "I understand your feelings. It’s my fault for being too pushy. I’m sorry. But you not rejecting is already a big improvent for . I’m already very happy."
"Thank you for understanding."
"Then can we at least start as friends?" the man asked.
"The mont you walked into that little wooden house and saved selflessly, we were already friends."
Since Yixiu’s injuries hadn’t fully healed yet, Shi Yi didn’t intend to stay too long in the hospital room. But just as she was about to leave, a little figure darted in from the doorway.
"Mom!"
Familiar childish voice, a soft, endearing call. Before Shi Yi could react, her legs were tightly hugged by small arms.
The little one hugged her legs tightly and happily said, "Turns out Dad didn’t lie to . Mom really ca to see ."
Shi Yi was montarily confused. When had she ever said she would co to see her? This was just a coincidence.
Sister Yi, seeing Shi Yi’s bewildered and helpless expression, stepped forward to help, "Xiao Yi Xun, let go of Auntie. If you keep hugging her like that, she will feel uncomfortable."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi Xun obediently let go of Shi Yi’s legs and looked up with a big smile, "Mom, this ti, can you stay with a bit longer?"
Shi Yi looked down at the little one in front of her, and seeing her hopeful eyes, sothing in her heart was touched, and she couldn’t help but nod.
"Okay, I don’t have anything else to do today anyway."
Hearing this, Xiao Yi Xun jumped up in joy, "Yay! I knew it, Mom is the best!"
What Shi Yi didn’t know was that Xiao Yi Xun’s jump made both Sister Yi and Yixiu tense up. Sister Yi quickly rushed forward to hold her, "My little ancestor, you just recovered from a cold, you can’t do that!"
Hearing this, Shi Yi frowned, "The little one was sick?"
No wonder her previously chubby chin had beco pointed, and her little face had thinned considerably.
"Yes, she developed a high fever a few days ago and scared us. But luckily, the fever ca down later. Otherwise..." Sister Yi didn’t finish her sentence, stopping halfway.
"Otherwise, what?" Shi Yi asked.
"It’s nothing," Sister Yi smiled, "It’s natural for parents to worry when children are sick. Mr. Leng didn’t sleep all day and night a few days ago."
Upon hearing this, Shi Yi couldn’t help but feel so sympathy for Yixiu. Although this man was cold and heartless, he cared deeply for Xiao Yi Xun. He had taken on both parental roles over the years, raising the child to this point. It truly wasn’t easy.
Due to Xiao Yi Xun’s sudden interruption, Shi Yi ended up staying in Yixiu’s hospital room. In truth, Shi Yi didn’t usually have much patience for children and often avoided them, but Xiao Yi Xun was an exception.
She didn’t know why, but when facing Xiao Yi Xun, she genuinely felt a sense of closeness.
