After waiting for a while without getting an answer, he raised his eyebrows. Then, he heard her say, "Of course I care. You are the most popular president in our country's history, and everyone cares about you. When we saw the news yesterday that you might be hurt, our colleagues felt the same way as I did, and were very upset."
Bai Yeqing's eyes darkened a little, and he asked coldly: "Is that all?"
Xia Xingchen pretended not to understand what he meant by 'it's just like this' and changed the subject subtly: "You are so weak, let's not chat for now. Drink the porridge while it's hot! Get well soon, and the people won't be so worried."
As she spoke, she scooped another mouthful of porridge and brought it to his lips. His searching eyes lingered on her face for a long moment, his eyes were sometimes deep and sometimes light, as if he wanted to see some clues from her face. But in the end, to no avail.
Bai Yeqing suddenly felt a little bored. He said nothing and just drank the porridge with a slightly cold expression.
The ambiguous atmosphere just now disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Xia Xingchen's mind was in a state of confusion. She was quite clear whether she was worried or the people were.
… … …
In the afternoon, Fu Yichen came to change his dressing.
He lay there, falling asleep again.
"He had a fever all night last night, but it had subsided in the morning. His appetite wasn't very good, and he only drank two bowls of porridge the whole day." Xia Xingchen dutifully reported the whole day's situation. She spoke in a low voice for fear of disturbing him. "He woke up for a short while today, and then he was groggy all the time. Doctor Fu, is he okay?"
"Well, this is normal. After all, the injury is not light." Fu Yichen glanced at Xia Xingchen, "I'm going to change his dressing now. Can you please give me a hand?"
"good."
Xia Xingchen followed Fu Yichen's instructions and took the scissors to cut the gauze on his chest.
Before his hand dropped, he suddenly woke up.
At a glance, he saw her leaning over him with a pair of scissors in her hand. He frowned slightly and asked in a lazy voice, "What's wrong?"
"Doctor Fu is here. We're going to change your dressing now." Xia Xingchen said softly, "It might be a little painful."
That tender look unconsciously made the wrinkles between Bai Yeqing's brows relax a lot.
He barely held up his heavy eyelids and said, "Give me the scissors and get out."
"Why? I'm Dr. Fu's assistant now, I can't go out."
"Okay, just go out if I tell you to." Bai Yeqing raised his hand to take the scissors away from her hand, but she was more nimble than him and raised her hand higher, not giving it to him.
He frowned.
This woman, is he now injured after bullying him
He glanced at Fu Yichen and said, "Send her out."
Fu Yichen looked at Xia Xingchen meaningfully, then at him, and couldn't help but curl his lips, "Miss Xia, the wounds on your body are bloody and hideous, he is afraid that you can't bear to see it. If you are afraid, just go out, I will ask him to help."
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Yeqing glanced over at him sharply.
This guy! Who made him talk so much? Too much talk!
Xia Xingchen was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously glanced at Bai Yeqing. Was he...really afraid that the wound would scare him
Since he didn't refute what Dr. Fu said, then... that's it, right
Her mind was shaken slightly. She couldn't help but smile, "Don't worry, I'm not that timid. Besides... he's so badly injured now, I'm afraid I'm powerless to help."
Fu Yichen nodded, "It would be best if you could stay."
"..." Bai Yeqing looked unhappy. So, his opinion was completely ignored by the two people in front of him
… … …
While Fu Yichen was preparing the medicine, Xia Xingchen helped cut the gauze on his chest and hands.
With each blow, her breath was tense. She had seen his wound on the first day, and thinking about it now, she still felt a chill down her spine.
I moved more carefully, afraid of hurting him.
Bai Yeqing's eyes were fixed on her face. Seeing her furrowed brows and pale face, he said in a deep voice, "Don't force it."
"Don't underestimate me." Xia Xingchen raised his eyes to look at him, and then concentrated on cutting the gauze. "Although I have never seen such a serious injury in my life, I have seen it before, no, I can be considered someone who has experienced big scenes."
"You? What big scenes have you experienced?" Bai Yeqing chatted with her casually. She looked very charming when she was focused.
"When I gave birth to Xia Dabai, I had a severe hemorrhage and my life was hanging by a thread. The doctor even gave my father a critical illness notice. But luckily, I survived. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to see me now. So, can I be considered to have experienced big scenes as well?"
When Xia Xingchen said this, her tone was relaxed, and there was even a faint smile on the corner of her lips. After she finished speaking, she did not forget to look up at him, as if waiting for him to nod.
Bai Yeqing's eyebrows were throbbing and his face was grim.
This woman can actually laugh!
"Don't be so serious." His solemn expression made Xia Xingchen stick out her tongue, "Well, I shouldn't say this kind of thing at this time."
She lowered her head and continued to work. Her long hair fell down beside her cheeks, covering half of her tight little face.
Bai Yeqing stared at her, and his mind was filled with the image of her lying on the operating table, scared and helpless.
Leng Fei had been following up on her affairs, but he had never mentioned her heavy bleeding to him.
When I hear it now, I feel surprised and my chest becomes tight.
He suddenly stretched out his long fingers, lifted the long hair on her cheek, and tucked it behind her ear.
His fingertips brushed her earlobe. Xia Xingchen was startled, her heart slightly confused.
Subconsciously, she raised her eyes slightly to look at him, and when she saw the faint yet deep and complex light in his eyes, her heart skipped a beat.
She hooked the hair on her cheek uncomfortably, said nothing, and just continued to do her own thing with her head down.
only…
I couldn't help but keep flashing the look he just gave me in my mind.
That complex emotion... what exactly is it
Fu Yichen took in all the little details of the two people. He couldn't help but raise his lips.
I grew up in the army with Bai Yeqing. This is the first time I see him treat a woman like this.
only…
There's no way the two of them can have a future, right
…
After Xia Xingchen cut the gauze, the wound was completely revealed. Even though he had seen it before, he only took a glance and didn't dare to look at it a second time.
How painful and unbearable it must be to be injured so badly!
Fu Yichen also looked very solemn, "The drug is strong, it will be a little painful."
"Stop talking so much and apply the medicine."
Fu Yichen nodded and applied the medicine on the wound bit by bit.
At that moment, Bai Yeqing's uninjured hand suddenly grabbed the bed sheet under him. The unbearable pain made his lips turn pale. His forehead and nose were covered with fine cold sweat. However, even so, he gritted his teeth firmly and didn't even groan.
Xia Xingchen felt as if his heart was being squeezed into a ball.
