Chapter 7 A Long-Awaited Dream

Shen Jin's face flushed crimson instantly, as if steam were rising from his head. He stammered, burying his head even lower, and mumbled almost inaudibly, "I...I...this..."

What is this? Because you just helped me apply some medicine, and then I…

Shen Jin couldn't say such a thing, so he could only keep his head down, wishing he could disappear into a hole, stammering as he tried to explain: "That's because...because..."

"Why?" Yan Yu narrowed his eyes, looking at the person's helpless appearance, his playful intent grew stronger, and at the same time he felt a little hot in his chest.

"Could it be because..." Yan Yu half-embraced his waist, licked his ear with the tip of his tongue, kissed down his neck, and sucked a hickey, "because last night... I didn't satisfy you?"

"No, no!" Shen Jin shook his head instinctively and blurted out, "...I'm very satisfied!"

After he finished speaking, he felt his cheeks burning and was so ashamed that he didn't know what to do. He felt that he had been too shameless and what kind of things he had said.

He didn't know why he was so nervous when facing Yan Yu, even though they had only met last night.

Yan Yu swallowed hard. Although he liked men, he wasn't that desperate. After all, with his current status and position, what kind of handsome man couldn't he have?

But now, seeing the person so embarrassed that he was practically steaming with shame, Yan Yu felt an urge to tease him...

It even made him forget that he was in the hospital, and he couldn't wait to have sex with her.

When the thought crossed his mind, Yan Yu walked straight to the door. After hearing his footsteps leave, Shen Jin lowered his head in disappointment and stared at the floor without saying a word.

He thought it was only natural for Yan Yu to leave, after all, they had no real relationship, it was just a transaction. It was only because he was being too unrealistic that he couldn't forget Yan Yu and had those unattainable fantasies...

Just as he was feeling down and making self-deprecating jokes, someone gently patted his head, accompanied by a man's husky, sexy voice: "What are you thinking about?"

Shen Jin was suddenly stunned, blinking blankly, unable to understand why Yan Yu had returned when he was about to leave.

Did I come all this way just to comfort myself?

After thinking about it, he realized he shouldn't have taken advantage of his gentleness to be willful, so he quickly shook his head and said, "You don't need to mind me, I'm fine, you go ahead..."

"Hmm..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yan Yu pinched his chin, lowered his head, and kissed his soft, slightly red lips.

...

...

In the VIP ward.

The room was filled with a faint smell of medicine. The beautiful woman lying on the pure white hospital bed looked calmly at the open window. A cool breeze blew in, causing the light-colored curtains to flutter, and the azure sky could be seen.

The sun was shining brightly, and the breeze was refreshing.

But for some reason, Xie Li felt a tightness in her chest.

Why?

After a while, the door to the ward was pushed open, and a nurse walked in with a smile, saying, "Young Master Xie, are you hungry? It's time to eat."

Xie Li glanced at her indifferently, a faint smile appearing on his handsome face. His lips were red and his teeth were white, his eyes sparkled like stars, and his eyes curved when he smiled, making him very beautiful. The nurse was momentarily stunned.

"I'll eat it later, just leave it there," he said calmly, glancing at the table next to him, showing no intention of eating.

He seemed to possess a clean and refreshing aura, yet also carried a faint sense of detachment, like being veiled by a hazy veil, making him impossible to see clearly or understand, yet he seemed beautiful, but unattainable.

—It was also Yan Yu's long-cherished dream.

"Mr. Yan just brought flowers again," the nurse said with a smile as she pushed the food to the bedside. When she carefully placed it on the table, she noticed that the flowers in the vase hadn't been changed, and exclaimed, "Hasn't Mr. Yan arrived yet? He clearly came to the hospital with flowers again."

Xie Li has a weak heart due to childhood conditions and is prone to illness. During his hospitalization, Yan Yu would set aside one or two hours each day to visit and keep him company, but he hadn't seen him today.

This made Xie Li somewhat irritated.

He didn't show his emotions, but just smiled faintly at the nurse: "He's quite busy with work, and it must be tiring for him to come over every day. He's probably visiting someone else this time."

The nurse said with a smile, "How could it be tiring? Mr. Yan likes Young Master Xie so much that he wishes he could come and keep you company every day."

Xie Li narrowed his beautiful eyes slightly, a faint smile playing on his lips, and said gently, "What are you thinking? We're friends."

They are friends, at least on the surface.

But it's true that Yan Yu likes him.

However, Xie Li never responded to him, nor did he explicitly refuse anything.

"Yes, yes, whatever Young Master Xie says!" The nurse didn't understand much about their affairs, so she just nodded along with him. After putting the food away, she didn't forget to say, "Then remember to eat later, and call us anytime if you need anything."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work," Xie Li smiled slightly, "Go ahead and get back to work."

The nurse drooled over his charming smile before leaving, and the ward instantly fell silent again, leaving him all alone.

He stared blankly at the pure white ceiling, wondering why Yan Yu hadn't come yet. Was he too busy, or did he have some friends at the hospital?

Normally, even if he's too busy, he'll still call to let me know.

Xie Li had never encountered a situation where someone came to the hospital but then disappeared without a trace, and he didn't even receive a phone call. This made him feel somewhat frustrated, as if something was out of his control, causing him to become extremely irritable and unhappy.

Then, he couldn't help but dial Yan Yu's number.

The medical room was bathed in the warmth of spring.

Just then, the untimely ringing of the bell startled both of them.

When Yan Yu saw the words "A-Li" on the screen, his smile froze instantly. He instinctively wanted to hang up, but accidentally answered the call. Xie Li's clear voice came through the receiver: "A-Yu, I feel unwell..."
