Xiao Yao took the last bus and arrived back in Yun City at 10 p.m., the same time as last time she came back.
As soon as I came out, I saw Xiao Yao looking down at his phone at the exit.
At the same time and in the same place, Xiao Yao naturally recalled the scene when Zhong Xuyang came to pick her up last time, that boy who looked around and would smile when he saw her.
Xiao Yao looked up and saw Xiao Yao walking towards him. He put away his phone, and when she got closer and he saw her reddened eyes, he was stunned. "You cried all the way back?"
Xiao Yao lowered her head and wiped her eyes. "No, I didn't."
Xiao Yao sighed, put his arm around her shoulder and walked out, "I told you Xuyang is fine, why are you crying?"
How is he now?
"My right hand is comminuted fractured, two ribs are broken, and my ankle is sprained."
Xiao Yao was stunned. "You're saying nothing's wrong?!"
"The doctor said his life wouldn't be in danger, he just needs to rest for a while." Xiao Yao opened the passenger door and let Xiao Yao get in.
Xiao Yao sat in the car for a moment, and after Xiao Yao got in, she asked, "Can I go see him tonight?"
"It's so late now, and Xuyang is asleep. How about we go tomorrow?"
"I just want to take a look." She wanted to know how badly he was injured.
Xiao Yao thought it was too late to enter the ward at this time, but he still took her there anyway. Sure enough, when they arrived at the hospital, the nurse refused to let Xiao Yao into the ward because it was past visiting hours and she was not a family member of the patient.
Xiao Yao stood at the entrance of the ward, staring blankly at the ward corridor not far away, lost in thought.
Finally, Xiao Yao led him away, saying, "Let's go home first, and we'll come see Xuyang again tomorrow."
——
Zhong Xuyang was woken up several times in pain after the anesthesia wore off in the middle of the night, and he didn't wake up until almost noon the next day.
His first sensation upon waking was pain; he groaned softly before even opening his eyes.
A familiar female voice immediately rang in my ears, "What's wrong? Does it hurt somewhere?"
Zhong Xuyang groggily opened his eyes. When he saw Xiao Yao's face so close to his, he thought he was still dreaming and couldn't help but want to act cute with her.
"Yaoyao, it hurts..."
Xiao Yao was taken aback.
Zhong Xuyang already looked unwell, and seeing him lying in the hospital bed crying out in pain terrified her.
"Where does it hurt? I'll call the doctor now."
Zhong Xuyang watched as Xiao Yao anxiously pressed the call bell by the bedside. When the nurse didn't come immediately, she ran out to find the doctor herself.
It wasn't until the doctor came to his bedside to examine him that he realized this wasn't a dream.
"Where does it hurt? Is it your ribs or your arm?" the doctor asked Zhong Xuyang as he examined him.
Zhong Xuyang looked at Xiao Yao and shook his head, "It doesn't hurt anymore."
Xiao Yao anxiously moved closer to the bedside and asked with concern, "Why doesn't it hurt anymore? Didn't you just say it hurt? Don't try to be brave and hide it from the doctor."
Zhong Xuyang noticed the tension on Xiao Yao's face, reached out and took her hand, "It won't hurt so much once you recover. I'm fine, don't be afraid."
Xiao Yao ran to find the doctor and then ran back, still panting. After hearing his words, she paused in her breathing.
She came to the hospital early this morning and saw him lying quietly on the hospital bed. He seemed unfamiliar and fragile. She even reached out to check his breathing, afraid that he might just fall asleep.
The warmth of his hand and his gentle words, "Don't be afraid," made Xiao Yao's vision blur uncontrollably.
"You know I'm scared?"
Zhong Xuyang raised his hand to touch her face, but Xiao Yao quickly stopped herself and pressed him down, saying, "Don't move, let the doctor finish examining you." She then stepped aside.
While the doctor was examining Zhong Xuyang, his eyes never left Xiao Yao. The doctor and nurses went back and forth between the two of them several times because of this.
Xiao Yao felt embarrassed and wanted to cover his eyes, but when the doctor talked about Zhong Xuyang's precautions, Xiao Yao couldn't think of anything else.
Even after the doctors and nurses had left, Xiao Yao turned around and saw that Zhong Xuyang was still staring at her. She walked to his bedside and covered his eyes with her hand in an annoyed manner.
Zhong Xuyang was taken aback, but instead of struggling, he smiled and asked, "Why won't you let me see?"
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, his eyelashes lightly brushed against her palm, the tingling sensation spreading from her hand throughout her body. Xiao Yao endured it for a moment before not pulling her hand away. "Why are you staring at me like that?"
Zhong Xuyang inhaled her familiar fragrance, and the unpleasant smell of disinfectant in the ward faded because of her arrival. "It was a bit unexpected that you would be here."
He was afraid of scaring her, so he told Xiao Yao not to tell her before he went into the operating room.
Xiao Yao silently glanced at the thick cast on his right hand and the bandages peeking out from under his hospital gown. The doctor had just told him that his right hand had suffered a comminuted fracture and that two ribs were broken. He would need to rest and recover slowly over the next few months.
"Why didn't you let me know?" She stared at his pale lips, wanting to see what excuse he could come up with.
Zhong Xuyang said, "I was thinking of telling you when I'm feeling better, so you might feel more sorry for me and be more touched."
This guy actually had the nerve to joke around. Xiao Yao was speechless. "So all that groaning in pain you're groaning in bed right now is just a ploy?"
Zhong Xuyang's lips curled up even higher, "Do you feel sorry for me?"
The ward fell silent for a moment, and Xiao Yao stopped talking.
Zhong Xuyang didn't want Xiao Yao to worry too much, so he deliberately teased her. Now that he couldn't see and she was silent, he thought he had made her angry again. He covered her hand and tried to pull it away to explain, but her hand let go first.
As she removed her hand, Zhong Xuyang opened his mouth to speak, but the next second his lips were kissed.
