Chapter 670 Should We Mind It?

In order not to disturb Shen Boyan's rest, Qiao Xing chatted with him for a while before leaving the ward.

Xing Jiu had been waiting at the door. As soon as she saw Qiao Xing come out, she asked, "Are we going back now?"

"Okay, let's go back."

The two had only walked a few steps when they ran into Lin Xi, who was helping a boy walk towards them.

Lin Xi was also surprised to run into Qiao Xing here, and was stunned for a moment, "Sister, what are you doing here..."

Qiao Xing looked at her, then at the boy she was supporting, "What's going on here...?"

Lin Xi quickly explained, "This is the classmate I introduced to you before. He sprained his ankle, and I came to the hospital with him."

Qiao Xing took a closer look before realizing, "Oh, it was him."

She asked with concern, "Is your foot alright? Is it serious?"

The little boy shook his head. "Thank you for your concern, sister. It's not serious. She was just too nervous and insisted on bringing me to the hospital."

Lin Xi blushed and retorted softly, "Nonsense, you're clearly sweating from the pain..."

Her voice was soft, and neither Qiao Xing nor the boy could hear her clearly.

Qiao Xing asked Lin Xi, "Do you need me to take you back?"

Lin Xi quickly said, "No need, sister, we can take a taxi back ourselves. Don't trouble yourself."

Qiao Xing didn't insist, "Okay, then you guys be more careful."

After they parted ways, Qiao Xing took a few steps forward, then suddenly stopped and turned to look at Lin Xi and the boy's backs.

She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she always felt that Lin Xi seemed to act differently in front of this young man.

Because of what happened in the past, Lin Xi has a strong sense of wariness towards men.

Especially at school, she was even afraid to interact with male classmates. It was Wang Qin who specifically asked the teacher to let her sit with a female classmate.

But just now, she not only took the initiative to help that little boy, but her tone of voice when she spoke to him was also completely different.

Her only impression of the boy was his bright smile and polite attitude during the video call.

However, someone who can make Lin Xi not resist and actively care about them must not be a bad person.

Lin Xi doesn't have many friends, so it would be great if she could find a like-minded friend.

When Qiao Xing returned home, the nanny was cooking. She went into the kitchen and said to the nanny, "Auntie, please make an extra portion of dinner tonight. Anything is fine, but try to keep the flavors light."

The aunt turned to her and asked, "Are we having guests coming over?"

"No, I need to take it to the hospital."

Grandpa Qin, who had just come out of the bedroom, overheard her words and asked, "Didn't you just get back? Why are you going to the hospital again?"

Qiao Xing explained to him, "Grandpa, it's like this, my colleague is in the hospital with no one to take care of him, so I thought I'd make him some food and send it over, just to show my appreciation."

Grandpa Qin knew she had always been a kind person, but he couldn't help but wonder, "Why is no one taking care of him? Doesn't he have any family or friends?"

"I do have friends, but they can't find the time. As for my family... they all seem to be in Beijing, so it's probably inconvenient for them to come over."

Upon hearing this, Grandpa Qin unconsciously recalled how he had taken care of Qin Ce alone when Qin Ce was sick.

At the time, we were still at the old house. It was raining outside. He wasn't in good health, and it was inconvenient for him to go to the hospital with a grown man in tow.

Qin Ce's fever worsened, and Grandpa Qin was extremely anxious. At that time, He Fen's family, who lived across the street, were not home, so he could only run around asking other neighbors for help.

It was quite a struggle to get Qin Ce to the hospital. At that time, he was worried that something might happen to Qin Ce, so he called Qin's family.

But to everyone's surprise, neither Qin Liang nor Wang Yu from the Qin family ever came to visit.

In the past, when Qin Ce and Qin Liang were at odds, Grandpa Qin couldn't understand what had caused the father and son to turn out this way.

But now that I think about it, I can understand.

Qin Ce's prejudice against Qin Liang may have been accumulated one by one from such small incidents.

Thinking of this, Grandpa Qin couldn't help but sigh, "No matter what, family is the most important thing. No matter how big the problem is, it should be put aside for now."

Qiao Xing didn't know why he suddenly had such sentiments and was worried that he had something on his mind. "Grandpa, if you're feeling bored staying at home these past few days, how about I go out for a walk with you?"

Grandpa Qin waved his hand, "Old Man Meng said he wasn't feeling well a few days ago and has been recuperating at home. I'm too lazy to deal with the others, so staying at home is fine. Going out is pointless. I'd rather tend to my flowers. Look how well I'm growing them."

Qiao Xing felt much relieved and quickly nodded in agreement, "Yes, in our whole neighborhood, you're probably the best at growing flowers. Look, you've almost turned this balcony into a small garden."

Grandpa Qin laughed heartily, feeling incredibly proud.

After the nanny prepared dinner, Qiao Xing asked Xing Jiu to take it to the hospital.

Xing Jiu looked at the insulated food container that Qiao Xing handed her, her expression somewhat complicated. "Madam, are you sure you want me to deliver this?"

Qiao Xing looked at him with a puzzled expression. "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Actually, there wasn't a big problem. Qiao Xing was just bringing Shen Boyan some food as a colleague, which is only natural.

After all, whether it was when Qiao Xing first joined the company or now, Shen Boyan has always taken exceptional care of her.

Although Qiao Xing didn't know why Shen Boyan didn't want his family to know about his illness, she wasn't a cold-blooded person. Since she had encountered such a situation, she couldn't just sit idly by.

However, Xing Jiu's worries were completely different from Qiao Xing's thoughts.

But seeing Qiao Xing's attitude, he felt that his worries were a bit unnecessary.

Perhaps in Qin Ce's and Qiao Xing's hearts, Shen Boyan was just a simple colleague.

He hesitated for a moment, then took the insulated box. "I'll take it over right away."

That evening, Qin Ce called to ask Qiao Xing what she was doing.

"I just finished eating and am about to lie down."

Qin Ce was quite surprised to hear this, "So well-behaved today?"

Qiao Xing said, "Of course, I promised you I would take good care of myself."

Qin Ce asked, "Did you go to the company?"

"No, Shen Boyan had surgery and was hospitalized. I went to see him at the hospital today," Qiao Xing said truthfully. "He doesn't have many friends in Chongqing. The people at his company are all busy with new projects, so after I came back from the hospital, I asked Xin Jiu to bring him some food."

In fact, Qin Ce's expression changed the moment he heard Shen Boyan's name.

But Qiao Xing's frank tone left him momentarily unsure whether he should mind or not.

He believed that Qiao Xing had no feelings for Shen Boyan because he had enough confidence in himself.

But how could he tell Qiao Xing that the friendship between men and women in this world was not as pure as she imagined?
