Xia Xingchen felt very uncomfortable being stared at by him. She couldn't raise her hand to cover his eyes, so she simply raised her other hand to cover her face.
"Don't look at me like that, I'm nervous." She bit her lip lightly and looked out through the gap between her palms.
"You said you would believe me. Why are you still so naughty and don't wait for me to come back?" Bai Yeqing spoke, his voice a little hoarse.
Xia Xingchen knew that she had done something wrong, and his look made her heart ache.
"I'm sorry..." She whispered, her eyes dimmed, "I know you're busy, and I don't want to cause you trouble all the time... You've been in enough trouble because of me for so long."
"My woman, when she has trouble, she doesn't ask me to handle it, but has to fight for her life on her own. Do you think I should feel relieved that I have found such a caring girlfriend, or should I be angry that I am so useless that I almost couldn't save your life?"
Xia Xingchen's eyes reddened.
She suddenly threw back the quilt and stood up from the bed.
Bai Yeqing just looked at her without stopping her. The next moment, she turned sideways and sat on the man's solid legs, face to face with affection.
With one hand she reached back to ensure that she would not pull the drip tube of the IV bottle; with the other hand she wrapped around the man's shoulders and leaned her haggard little face into the crook of his neck.
When she smelled the man's scent, her nose felt sore and a thin layer of moisture appeared in her eyes.
"Actually, I'm really scared..." She started, her voice choking. In her trembling voice, one could hear the lingering fear, "I'm so scared that I'll really fall asleep like this and never see you again..."
Such a sentence made Bai Yeqing's tall figure tremble violently.
It was like a heavy rock was pressing down on his heart, fermenting continuously. It filled his chest and made it ache. Even though she woke up safely, he still felt frightened when he thought of her taking the medicine and how she fell asleep.
For the first time, he discovered that he was actually very timid!
He had seen life and death before, and he could even be covered in blood without making a sound. However, this time when she got into trouble, he was really scared.
A person always has a fatal weakness.
And she must be the weak spot that he wanted to protect with all his might. Because if something happened to her, it would be more unbearable for him than if something happened to him.
He used all his strength to hug her slender body tightly, so tightly that he almost wanted to embed himself into her body.
Xia Xingchen felt a little pain from being held by him, but she did not struggle, she just coveted and enjoyed this embrace.
After a while, she said softly, as if she was acting like a spoiled child, and as if she was begging him, "Since I would rather die than get engaged to someone else, please don't be angry with me, okay?"
With that soft tone, how could anyone be angry with her
Bai Yeqing felt that he had been caught in a weak spot by this woman.
However, he still bit her ear hard as punishment and said with a straight face, "I'll settle this account with you after you get better!"
… … … …
Bai Yeqing told Xia Xingchen about Lan Zhan, and Xia Xingchen was shocked.
"He already has the wealth and status he has now, so why would he risk committing such a serious crime?" Leaking weapons secrets to other countries is a form of espionage and treason.
"Greedy people have an endless desire for power and wealth. Once they are greedy, they often have no bottom line. Although I have known about his actions for a long time, I have always thought that I cannot act rashly in order to balance the power of all parties and because the evidence is insufficient. This time, since I have already planned to resign, I am less constrained. Of course, half of the credit for arresting him and convicting him belongs to Vice President Yu."
Xia Xingchen was still quite unhappy when Yu Zeyao was mentioned. It seemed that she had misunderstood him. However, if he had told them earlier, she would not have to take this risk. He was so sinister!
"He really should be awarded the Best Actor Award. Look at how furious Zenan is. He was also kept in the dark by his brother."
"Yes. In his words, to tell the truth, he is afraid that you two young people can't perform the effect he wants and be discovered by Lan Zhan." Bai Yeqing put one hand around her waist and gently stroked the place where the needle was inserted, and asked: "Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt, just a little cold." She shook her head. The warmth from his fingertips made her feel more comfortable. Then he said, "Young people? You and Vice President Yu are not much older than Zenan and I. You are not young people anymore?"
Bai Yeqing glanced at her and said, "Of course. We have seen much more than you have. In comparison, you two are not even young people, at most you are just two little brats."
Xia Xingchen was embarrassed.
I feel that he looks down on me.
"By the way, how are my mom and dad now?" Thinking of them, Xia Xingchen felt even more worried.
"Everyone is here. Yichen's team is taking care of them. Nothing will happen. Wait until you feel better, then go see them. Otherwise, your sickly appearance will scare them."
When Xia Xingchen heard that they were fine, she smiled and felt relieved.
"Then my father's case..."
"He was involved more than 20 years ago. After the trial, everything will come to light. The court will never wrongly accuse my second uncle of something he never did."
After hearing what he said, she finally let go of her worries.
Her fingers crawled to his face again, but she didn't dare to touch the wound on his face. She just avoided it and asked, "How did this happen?"
"He gave the best actor a lesson."
Xia Xingchen chuckled, but was this a lesson or a lesson for him
"You need to go see Dr. Fu for some medicine."
"It's just a minor injury, there's no need to apply special medicine."
"It would be bad if it left a scar."
"I'm not a woman, so I don't have to be so particular."
“…” It turns out that being pretty means you can be willful.
The two were talking when the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open from the outside. Fu Yichen walked in with his head down, looked up, saw the scene inside, and quickly retreated, "Sorry."
Xia Xingchen was so embarrassed that he almost wanted to crawl into the ground.
She quickly got up from the man and sat back on the bed.
Bai Yeqing pulled the quilt over her and asked her to sit against the head of the bed before letting Fu Yichen in.
"How is it?" Bai Yeqing asked before Fu Yichen could speak.
Fu Yichen looked more serious and nodded, "I just got the list from the gynecology department. Take a look at it."
When Xia Xingchen heard the word "gynecology", she immediately leaned over to take a look. Bai Yeqing looked at the list, his brows twisted into a knot.
Fu Yichen stood beside the bed, glanced at the IV bottle, then deftly pulled out the needle from her hand and told her to get some rest.
"How much effect does the medicine she took have?" Bai Yeqing asked.
