Chapter 8 Uncomfortable

Yan Yu's action of picking up his phone caused some inappropriate noises to inadvertently enter the microphone, creating a huge commotion.

Xie Li's face froze instantly, a hint of surprise flickering in her beautiful almond-shaped eyes. She tightened her grip on her phone slightly, leaving white marks on her face.

It's no secret that Yan Yu has a penchant for men. He knows that Yan Yu usually seeks out handsome boys to satisfy his desires, but he only sleeps with them once and then nothing more.

But this time, Yan Yu came to the hospital with flowers, only to disappear halfway there. When they called him, this is what they heard...

What he's doing is obvious, the only question is who that person is...

Xie Li's pale hand instinctively gripped the bedsheet tightly. A surge of anger rose in his chest, burning him uncomfortably, and a strange, inexplicable emotion also lingered within him...

Xie Li asked himself honestly, he really only regarded Yan Yu as a friend and did not like him, but at this moment he could not explain why.

"A-Yu..." he called his name again in a hoarse voice, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and asked him in a tired voice, "Where are you?"

Yan Yu's expression stiffened, and he covered Shen Jin's mouth with one hand, afraid that he would make a sound. Even though he usually had a lot of romantic luck and even flirted with women, he only played around and never took it seriously.

After all, he's almost thirty years old; he can't possibly still be a naive virgin. Naturally, he has desires.

But when facing someone they like, they are unwilling to let him know these things.

"I..." Yan Yu's throat bobbed slightly, feeling a bit dry. He tried to lower his voice so that the other person wouldn't notice anything, but then he couldn't help but soften his voice, "A-Li, what's wrong?"

Shen Jin, whose mouth was covered and pressed against the table, looked at him with some discomfort, his eyes red. He tried to rub his hand away, but the force of his hand covering his mouth was too strong, and he couldn't break free, which hurt Shen Jin a little.

But the man behind him made no further move, nor did he seem to want to let go of him; he was simply talking gently on the phone…

After hearing Yan Yu's gentle tone of greeting, Xie Li felt much better and a little more at ease, realizing that Yan Yu's feelings for him were absolute and would not easily disappear.

Xie Li sighed softly and said in a weak voice, "I don't know what's wrong. Maybe it's because I haven't rested well. I've had a headache all day..."

He knew that Yan Yu would feel sorry for him.

Sure enough, Yan Yu's expression changed instantly. He frowned and hurriedly asked, "Didn't you get enough rest? Headache? What's wrong?"

His tone was full of concern and heaviness; he seemed to have forgotten all about the people around him.

Shen Jin was also sensible; he didn't struggle or make a sound, but just lowered his eyes and stared at the table.

He knew what his relationship with Yan Yu was, and dared not indulge in any delusions...

Xie Li let out a soft laugh through the microphone, clear and melodious, making Yan Yu's heart flutter. His clean voice, tinged with laughter, gently said, "The weather was quite nice last night, so I stood by the window and looked at the stars for a while. Before I knew it, it was quite late, and I felt unwell all over when I woke up this morning..."

Yan Yu smiled helplessly, his deep eyes filled with a tenderness that Shen Jin had never seen before, and his tone was somewhat indulgent: "You really are something, I don't even know what to say to you... It's getting chilly tonight, why don't you get some rest?"

"Haha, what can I do? The stars are just too beautiful." Yan Yu laughed heartily into the microphone, his playful and mischievous manner making Yan Yu's heart flutter and his heart soften.

Yan Yu smiled gently and said, "I know, I'll come see you now, wait for me a moment."

Xie Li chuckled lightly, "Thank you for your help again... Are you alright? If there's anything important, then please take care of it first—"

“No trouble at all,” Yan Yu interrupted him before he could finish speaking, glanced down at the person lying on the table, and then sighed softly, “It’s nothing, I’ll be right there.”

After hanging up the phone, Yan Yu released his hand from Chen Jin's mouth. Looking at Chen Jin's slightly red and watery eyes, he wondered what was wrong and asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"

“No…” Shen Jin shook his head. He knew his true feelings weren’t important. He pursed his lips and forced a smile. “Is it alright? Can you let me go now…”

Based on Yan Yu's demeanor and tone during the phone call, he vaguely understood what was going on. His heart ached inexplicably, and he decided not to get entangled with him any further.

Yan Yu was very good at observing people's expressions, and looking at his face, he knew that he was probably not very happy. And he was never one to get entangled in such matters.

The matter ended abruptly, and he hurriedly pushed open the door and left, leaving only Shen Jin in the medical room. Meanwhile, the footsteps outside the door grew fainter and fainter, as if they were impatient.

Shen Jin wondered why he was so eager... Was it because he wanted to see that person who was very important to him?

Now that Yan Yu was gone, he no longer needed to hold back. After taking a few breaths of cold air, he staggered a few steps and looked at his messy self and the ward where he was all alone.

For some reason, I remembered that Yan Yu had been applying medicine to him here not long ago—

In the blink of an eye, how could they have disappeared...?
