Chapter 244 I Want to See You

When Chen Congyu went out in the morning, the rare person he saw at the door was Xi Wen.

Of course she knew that he must have come to see Jiang Xilin, but since Jiang Xilin moved in across the street, he was the only one she usually saw.

When Xi Wen saw her, he seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Shen Congyu naturally did not take the initiative to talk to him. He did not say anything. She simply nodded to him and went downstairs.

Xi Wen had actually just come out of Jiang Xilin's residence. He was hesitating whether to look for Chen Congyu when Chen Congyu came out. In the end, he didn't call her and opened the door again and went in.

There was no one in the living room, it was cloudy outside and the lights were not on. Xi Wen thought for a moment, went to the kitchen to pour a cup of hot water, and went to the master bedroom to find Jiang Xilin.

The lights in the master bedroom were still off. Jiang Xilin knew it was him because his back was facing him. "Why are you back?"

Xi Wen said truthfully: “I ran into Miss Shen when I just went out.”

He looked at Jiang Xilin in silence for several seconds.

Jiang Xilin didn't say anything, and Xi Wen automatically skipped the topic. "Brother Jiang, the original case is that if your fever hasn't subsided by noon, I'll take you to the hospital. You haven't eaten breakfast or taken any medicine..."

"I know my limits, you go ahead and do your work."

Xi Wen didn't see the point of what he said, but he understood why Yuan An warned him so much.

But Jiang Xilin insisted, so Xi Wen stopped.

Jiang Xilin did not go out for the whole day, but stayed in the study for a few hours working. Seeing the rain outside, he felt dizzy.

His temperature fluctuated throughout the day, and by the evening, instead of improving, his fever had become even worse.

He stayed in the living room until he heard Shen Congyu coming back.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Shen Congyu came out of the shower and found a missed call on her phone, from Jiang Xilin, ten minutes ago.

Chen Congyu replied with a '?'

I don't understand what he is doing.

She had just sat down to blow dry her hair when Jiang Xilin called again.

"Can you come over here for a moment?"

Chen Congyu: "What's the matter?"

Jiang Xilin's voice was very light, and he coughed twice before speaking, "I want to see you."

The expression is clear.

Shen Congyu heard something was wrong, but she didn't say anything. She just said, "I've been working all day and I'm very tired. I'm going to rest."

"Just a moment."

"It was already late by the time I finished packing."

Jiang Xilin was silent for a moment, then said, "Don't you want to see me at all now?"

Chen Congyu replied to him: "There's nothing good to see."

There was a cough on the other end of the phone.

Chen Congyu waited, and when she heard his breathing become more stable from chaotic, she realized that he might be sick.

Jiang Xilin took a few breaths and said in a hoarse voice, "I'll leave the door open there."

Chen Congyu wanted him to stop wasting time, but he had already cut off the call.

He was not a person who would show kindness without any bottom line. Chen Congyu knew that he must be dissatisfied. Neither of them could say that the other was innocent, so she kept leaving him alone, which he definitely could not accept.

Chen Congyu was distracted by the warm air from the hair dryer, thinking about Jiang Xilin.

When she had packed up and was ready to go to bed, she suddenly thought of Jiang Xilin. From her balcony, she could see the balcony next door, but it was dark, so she couldn't see his current situation at all.

Judging from the tone on his phone, he must be really sick. Xiwen also came this morning.

Although this man would not be so sick as to take medicine or see a doctor, if he wanted to see her on this pretext, he could really do it.

Shen Congyu's mood was still disturbed by him. After thinking about it, she followed her inner thoughts and opened the door.

The door of the room opposite was indeed opened to the size of a palm.

It seemed that he was determined to get her to go.

This was the first time that Chen Congyu entered the house opposite. No lights were on, and only the light from the corridor outside the door shone in. The door of the master bedroom was not closed, and the dim light inside seemed to be guiding Chen Congyu.

She closed the door quietly, took off her shoes, and stepped lightly on the floor.

She was so quiet that she appeared at the bedroom door without the people inside realizing it.

The light was dim, Jiang Xilin was asleep, there were medicine and water on the bedside, Shen Congyu couldn't tell whether he had taken them or not.

She was hesitating whether to go in, when Jiang Xilin suddenly opened his eyes and looked at her as if sensing something.
