Xia Xingchen leaned against the wall, stroking his forehead with his hand. He was silent for a while before speaking: "I'm in the hospital now..."
"Hospital?" Bai Yeqing's tone on the other end was slightly serious, "What's the matter?"
"it's me… "
With a sound of 'Didi--', the phone ran out of battery and turned off. Xia Xingchen's words were also interrupted. I was a little annoyed because I came out in such a hurry and didn’t bring a charger with me at all.
I can only wait until I am discharged from hospital tomorrow and then call him. With this thought in mind, I put my phone in my pocket. Glancing at her mother who was still asleep, she spoke to the nurse before going downstairs to buy dinner. I didn't eat anything at noon, and now I have no appetite at night.
Xia Xingchen was worried about her mother's condition. If she rejects Kyoto so much, will she be willing to go back with her? She wasn't sure.
Sighing, he bought some porridge and returned to the ward.
Shen Min was already awake at this moment, his face was pale and he was still very weak. There was an oxygen tube inserted into my nose, which made me feel very uncomfortable.
Xia Xingchen put a pillow behind her and asked her to sit up a little. When she felt comfortable, he took a spoon and fed her porridge. Shen Min took a few sips and felt uncomfortable with his heart, so he covered it with his hands. Xia Xingchen felt very uncomfortable seeing her like this. This time, my mother got sick while I was present. If she were not there, how miserable would it be for my mother to lie alone in this hospital bed? It is even more dangerous if no one notices the disease when it occurs.
She felt that she was very unfilial and had neglected her duties for so many years.
"Don't worry, this is an old problem. Mom is used to it." Shen Min knew that she felt uncomfortable, so he comforted her in a weak voice, "Ask the doctor to prescribe some medicine, and there will be no problem every time you take it."
Xia Xingchen was silent for a while, put the porridge aside, and seriously discussed with Shen Min, "Mom, please go back with us. The doctor told me today that you need to undergo heart bypass surgery because of your current condition. I just checked. There are several hospitals in Kyoto that are famous for performing this surgery.”
Shen Min said nothing. Xia Xingchen stared at her with red eyes, "If you don't leave, I will stay with you."
"What are you talking about? You have your own life in Beijing, how can you stay with me here." Shen Min disagreed.
"Anyway, I've decided so." Xia Xingchen held the porridge and fed her again, "If you don't leave, I will always be here to take care of you. In the worst case, let Xia Dabai go back with his father."
Shen Min knew that she was irritating him. Xia Xingchen sighed and said, "Mom, if you don't like Kyoto, I'll send you back as soon as you recover from the operation. Is this always okay?"
… … … …
night. Shen Min slept on the big bed, and Xia Xingchen lay fully clothed on a small bed next to her. The moonlight outside the window shone into the narrow ward. She glanced at her mother before lying down again.
I don't know if Xia Dabai has fallen asleep at Aunt Li's house now, but I hope he is not naughty.
Then, she thought of Bai Yeqing again. He is so busy, I'm afraid he hasn't slept yet. The phone call was cut off just now, and I don't know if he would take it to heart.
She thought about it, took her cell phone out of her pocket, and tried to turn it on again. However, not even the last bit of power is left. She had no choice but to give up and stop struggling. Close your eyes and fall asleep.
She didn't know how long she had slept, but she vaguely felt that she had had a dream. In the dream, Bai Yeqing suddenly appeared. She was talking quietly to him.
This dream is actually very beautiful. But, it is still a dream. How could he be here
Xia Xingchen turned over and was about to fall asleep again. At this moment, there was a sudden noise at the door. The door to the ward was slowly pushed open from the outside. The movement was very gentle, but Xia Xingchen still woke up.
She thought it was a nurse doing rounds. He reluctantly sat up from the crib and squinted towards the door. The light from outside the door came in due to the open door, making it barely possible to clearly see the tall figure entering the ward. The man's perfect handsome face was faintly visible in the dim light.
Xia Xingchen was stunned, sitting on the bed unable to move, feeling that he was dreaming.
The man stepped in, took a look at her, and then walked directly to the big bed to see Shen Min's condition.
Xia Xingchen suddenly realized that this was not a dream at all, but... he was really here! how come
She quickly put on her shoes and got up from the bed, walking towards him. With his dim vision, he was still checking the medical certificate hanging on Shen Min's bed without looking back. But when he heard the movement behind him, he already stretched out his hand towards her from behind.
Her heart warmed, almost instinctively, and she put her hand into his palm. The man's palm was warm and generous. As soon as her hand touched him, he had already grasped it tightly and held it in his hand. That's a completely, real feeling!
"Why are you here?" Xia Xingchen asked in a low voice. The emotions in my heart surged and couldn't calm down for a long time.
Bai Yeqing naturally wouldn't say that her phone call was disconnected at the right time. He only said that she was in the hospital and nothing more happened. He arrived at Shen Min's house, woke up his neighbor next door and asked about the situation before finding the hospital.
He turned to her and asked, "What's going on?"
"My mother has an old problem..." Xia Xingchen sighed, "The doctor said that she needs to be transferred to Kyoto Hospital for heart bypass surgery. The hospital here in Liangcheng can't do it."
Bai Yeqing nodded, knowing that he understood, "I'll let Yichen arrange it."
Xia Xingchen looked at him and shook his head, "I don't want to trouble you. I already contacted you about my dad's matter last time. This time it's not too bad. I've checked several hospitals myself. I won't send my mother there. has a problem."
She knew he was busy. She didn't want him to worry about her anymore. She couldn't give him any help in his affairs, so the only thing she could do was to handle her own affairs without causing any trouble for him.
However, these words made Bai Yeqing obviously unhappy, "Do you have to be so clearly separated from me?"
"… I did not mean that."
"Then I will make the arrangements. You only need to be responsible for convincing Aunt Shen to return to Kyoto."
Bai Yeqing has always been like this, all decisions are made by him, and there is no room for refutation. He is domineering, but it is enough to make a woman feel safe and secure. It seems that as long as he is around, everything can be solved. With him here, if the sky falls, it won't be too bad.
Xia Xingchen no longer struggled with him, it was just pretentious, and she just let him arrange it.
The two of them talked for fear of waking up their mother. Xia Xingchen took him outside. Before leaving the ward, she found a mask in his windbreaker. She stood on tiptoes to put it on for him. The light from outside shone in through the small window, and she saw deep tiredness on his face and some bloodshot eyes.
