"Miss Xia, your meal... Ah, I'm sorry... I'm sorry, Mr. President, I didn't know you were here. I'll leave now!" The servant wearing a mask came in and was shocked when he saw the scene inside. He quickly lowered his head and turned around to leave in a hurry.
Xia Xingchen's face turned red!
"It's all your fault! You've lost all my face!" Xia Xingchen was angrily kicked him on the leg with her bare feet.
He didn't bother her anymore, but turned over and got off her, his movements were graceful. Xia Xingchen was able to breathe smoothly, and quickly got up from the bed. He hid himself in the quilt again, as if hiding from a wild animal.
I was sweating even more than before. I didn't even dare to look at him.
Compared to her panic, he was calm and composed. Even when the servants saw him just now, he remained calm, as if the person who was just seen was not him at all.
Bai Yeqing straightened his messy shirt and walked slowly to the bedside. A dark shadow loomed over her. Xia Xingchen subconsciously raised her hand to block him, staring at him warily with her watery eyes. It seemed as if he would reach out his claws to her at any time.
He snorted, "Do you like to be sentimental so much?"
Xia Xingchen was stunned.
He pressed the bell beside the bed with his long fingers, and the voices of medical staff came from there immediately. Bai Yeqing ordered: "Come in and give Miss Xia another injection. Also, have someone bring in the meal."
"Yes." The medical staff hung up.
Xia Xingchen understood and awkwardly put down the hand that she was using to resist him.
For a long time, his words were still echoing in my mind.
—Do you like to be sentimental so much
She could tell that there was a deeper meaning behind these words.
Not only did he respond to her self-indulgent behavior, but he also responded to her... the question about whether she was jealous...
Xia Xingchen felt inexplicably depressed. Thinking back to how he had asked so directly, he felt quite ridiculous.
Just then, the medical team came in with the food delivery people.
Xia Xingchen silently stretched out his hand and asked her to give him the injection again.
"Miss Xia, please don't move around anymore. Your arm is a little swollen." The nurse from the medical team warned softly.
Bai Yeqing was originally looking at the meals that were delivered. When he heard the nurse's words, he slightly side-glanced in her direction. There was indeed a small swelling on his arm, and it was a little black.
This stupid woman!
Xia Xingchen met his gaze and glared at him unhappily. If it weren't for him, she wouldn't have been so angry that she pulled out all the needles!
Turning back, he replied to the nurse in a friendly manner, "Okay, I remember."
… … …
Bai Yeqing did not stay in her room any longer. After he left, Xia Xingchen ate dinner alone with chopsticks.
The dish is very light and tastes bland when chewed.
I finally forced myself to eat a little, and when I looked at the time on my phone, it was already quite late.
She called Chi Weiyang.
Chi Weiyang was already half asleep. Hearing her voice, she woke up a little. When she heard that she was suspected of being infected with WIS and asked her to help her take a leave, she sat up from the bed.
"Which hospital are you in? I'm going to see you now. Why are you telling me now? You haven't been alone all this time, have you?"
Chi Weiyang was rustling around as if he was putting on his clothes. "Have you eaten yet? What do you want to eat? I'll bring you something."
Xia Xingchen felt warm in her heart and was deeply moved after hearing this. "Hearing you say this, I feel halfway cured."
"Then I am a panacea. Tell me the place right now."
"Sister, I appreciate your kindness, but don't waste your time. I'm not in the hospital."
"If not in the hospital, where is he? The presidential palace?"
Xia Xingchen said 'hmm', "I didn't want to come back here in the first place, but he caught me and brought me back."
Chi Weiyang naturally knew that this 'he' referred to the President.
She snorted twice, "I'm so jealous! Xingchen, the President is so nice to you."
"How can he be good to me?" Thinking of the intimidation and humiliation she had just suffered under him, Xia Xingchen naturally could not agree with Wei Yang's words. He was simply evil! Evil to the core!
"It's not good yet, you just don't know how lucky you are! Think about it, you don't just have a cold now, you have suspected WIS! If it were someone else, don't talk about others, if it were your stepmother, she would have kicked you out without saying a word! Look at our righteous president..."
Xia Xingchen touched the goose bumps on his hands and said, "You flattered me too much."
"Don't interrupt!" Chi Weiyang scolded, and then became emotional, "Our righteous president not only didn't drive you out, but also brought you back and raised you well, and didn't despise you at all. Tell me, if this is not being good to you, then what is it?"
This question left Xia Xingchen speechless.
She thought about it carefully, put aside her prejudice against him and thought about it objectively, "Hmm. Okay, you are right."
"Hey, tell me, is it possible that the president is in love with you?"
Because of her assumption, Xia Xingchen's heart wavered. However, she remembered his words "self-conceited", bit her lip in annoyance, "… You are talking nonsense again. We have nothing to do with each other. Besides, he also said that he brought me back to prevent me from running around and infecting more people. Whatever he does, he does it from his position as president, not what you think."
"Really?" Chi Weiyang was skeptical.
"I can't talk to you any more. I'm tired." Xia Xingchen didn't want to dwell on this topic any longer.
Chi Weiyang heard it, "Okay. I'll go to the Presidential Palace to see you tomorrow. Can I come in?"
"… That's not certain. How about I ask later?"
"Ask carefully. I just want to go see my godson and visit the Presidential Palace at the same time!"
"I can see that you have other intentions than drinking!"
… …
The night deepens.
Xia Xingchen fell asleep. In a daze, she knew someone had come to remove the needle for her at night. Then, she seemed to see Bai Yeqing again.
Immediately afterwards, a warm hot water bottle was pressed against her swollen arm.
She wanted to open her eyes to see if it was him, or if she was just dreaming. However, her eyelids were too heavy and she couldn't open them. But... it couldn't be him! He was such a bad guy, he wouldn't be so kind to her!
She grumbled, turned around, and complained: "You... are the worst, the worst villain..."
Bai Yeqing put the fallen water bag back on her arm and rubbed the swollen part with his long fingers. After hearing her complaints, his frown relaxed a lot.
Even though the soft words were insulting him, he couldn't really get angry. He was like a kitten...
Bai Yeqing unconsciously reached out his hand to push away the strands of hair on her cheek, and looked deeply into her delicate little face.
