"At that time, I was just so jealous that I lost my temper and my mind went blank." They had been friends for so many years, and if it weren't for the fact that he was studying medicine abroad and didn't want to delay her from confessing his feelings, they wouldn't have been delayed for so many years.
He missed those opportunities, so who can he blame?
Xiang Jin didn't say anything, just smiled and patted his shoulder: "Feiyang also proposed to Shuangshuang, did you know that? Yan Qing, although we are friends, I won't say anything good about you in this matter. I just hope Shuangshuang chooses her own path, and I respect any decision she makes."
Sun Yanqing had an "I knew it" look on his face.
"Never mind, I wasn't expecting anything from you anyway. I'll handle it myself." He waved his hand and turned to get busy.
Xiang Jin returned to her hospital room.
Jiang Anqing's heart surgery was scheduled for the afternoon, and Murong Xiao also came.
After waiting anxiously outside the ward for almost four hours, the operating room lights finally went out.
The surgery went smoothly, but I need to rest and recuperate.
With a weight lifted from her heart, Xiang Jin reached out to hug Sun Yanqing, who was exhausted, but Murong Xiao pulled her back.
Since Jiang Anqing hadn't woken up yet, Xiang Jin was worried and decided to stay overnight at the hospital to keep her company. Murong Xiao also stayed. Upon hearing that Murong Xiao was staying at the hospital, the hospital director quickly had a suite next door prepared for the two of them.
"Murong Xiao, you can go back now. I'll stay here and keep watch."
Murong Xiao nestled on the sofa looking at reports. Although it was a hospital suite, much better than other wards, the room felt rather shabby when he sat there, which was a bit unfair to him.
Besides, he's particular about which bed he sleeps in.
Murong Xiao turned off the computer, lay down next to Xiang Jin, and pulled her into his arms, giving her a light peck on the lips: "Is that what you mean?"
Xiang Jin: "...I just wanted you to go back."
"Aren't women all two-faced? When they say no, what they really mean is... yes." He captured her lips and kissed her passionately. The heat in the room gradually intensified, and an ambiguous atmosphere swirled between them.
After kissing for a while, Xiang Jin ran out of strength. Her face flushed, she pushed him away with her hand, saying, "The hospital is not good."
"Yes, I know."
He held her, his waist already taut with desire. Even though they had been together many times, his body would react naturally whenever he touched her... and this feeling was getting stronger and stronger.
But this only happened to her.
Having realized that the mind can give the body a more pleasurable experience, he held her even tighter.
A moment later, the person in my arms began to breathe evenly.
She was exhausted after a long day of caring for the patient and anxiously worrying about the surgery.
Murong Xiao gazed at her peaceful sleeping face, and couldn't help but kiss her forehead. Then he sighed, turned, and went to the bathroom. He needed a cold shower to wash away the heat coursing through his body.
…………
Xiang Jin was awakened by the heat.
She was trapped in someone's arms, held so tightly that even turning over was difficult. Helpless, she could only move stealthily, first slowly pulling her hands out, then her feet, and finally getting out of bed…
After using the restroom, Xiang Jin saw a figure go to the next ward. She quickly opened the door and went out, where she saw a nurse changing Jiang Anqing's dressing. Jiang Anqing had already woken up.
"Doctor, when can I be discharged?" she asked weakly.
"We still need to observe you for a while. Surgery is no small matter, especially heart surgery. But your daughter and son-in-law are very filial. They stayed here for most of the night and only now went to rest next door."
During Jiang Anqing's hospitalization, Xiang Jin came almost every day, and Murong Xiao would also come whenever he had free time. Her ward was never short of food and supplies, and they were all the best. Even though there were two caregivers taking turns looking after her, they still chose to stay overnight at the hospital.
Everyone in the hospital saw it and praised Jiang Anqing for being so lucky.
"If someone treats me like this when I'm old, I'll be content," the nurse said with a smile.
Mentioning Xiang Jin and Murong Xiao, a slight smile appeared on Jiang Anqing's wrinkled face, which then faded quickly: "But I haven't treated her well. She has suffered a lot. I owe her a debt I can never repay in this lifetime..."
"The whole family is in debt, how can we be so clear about it?" The nurse had finished the basic examination and was preparing to change her IV fluids.
Jiang Anqing remained silent for a moment.
After a moment, she spoke again: "Doctor, I have something to ask you. Have you ever seen anyone who looks like my daughter... in the hospital?" She hadn't recovered yet, and she couldn't muster the strength to say more than a few words. It took the nurse a while to understand her.
“Someone who looks like her… I remember now, there was someone like that, but I don’t remember which ward she was in. I think she was in the cardiology department, yes, the cardiology department. What, she’s your relative?”
Jiang Anqing paused for a moment, shook his head, and said nothing more.
The nurse finished changing the dressing, told him to rest well, and then turned to leave the ward, bumping right into Xiang Jin who was about to go in.
"I remember now! That patient's surname is also Xiang, and she's a celebrity! She and your daughter do look very alike. If they stood together, they might be mistaken for sisters!" The nurse joked as she left, but Jiang Anqing's smile froze on her face.
"Ah Jin, it's not even dawn yet, why aren't you getting some rest?"
"I couldn't sleep, so I came to see you."
Xiang Jin sat down next to Jiang Anqing and tucked the blanket around her. The caregiver who had been watching over her respectfully stepped aside when she arrived and poured her a cup of hot water.
"It's all because of this old man like me that I've dragged you all down. I'm so useless..."
"Mom, we're family, no need for such formalities."
"good."
Silence suddenly fell over the ward.
Xiang Jin seemed to be thinking about something, silently drinking water; Jiang Anqing also seemed to be thinking about something, looking out the window with worried eyes.
The two sat there in silence, neither intending to speak first, until Murong Xiao appeared.
Xiang Jin then realized that it was already broad daylight. She and Jiang Anqing had been sitting there silently for more than three hours.
Xiang Jin stayed by her side at the hospital for three days. That afternoon, she finally received a call from Sun Yanqing, saying that the results of the materials she wanted had been released.
"No need to tell me, I'll come myself." Her expression hardened, and she hurriedly left the ward, brushing past Murong Xiao, who had just finished his work and arrived at the hospital.
Seeing that her expression was strange, Murong Xiao didn't think twice and followed her directly.
"This is a paternity test, what's making you so anxious?" Upon arriving at Sun Yanqing's office, Sun Yanqing handed her a report sealed with kraft paper, then picked up the chest CT scan next to it and stared intently at it.
