"Nannan, you're in the hospital? Why didn't you tell grandma?"
On the other end of the phone, Shen Hua frowned.
“Grandma, it’s really nothing…” Shen Yinan lay on the hospital bed, trying to argue.
But Shen Hua didn't give him any chance to interrupt.
The old man sighed when he saw the hospital's bright white decoration: "You said it was nothing! If I hadn't been unable to get through to you on the phone and contacted your father, I wouldn't have known you were in the hospital!"
She muttered, "You kept it a secret from me. Luckily Yaoyao listened to me and came to see you...otherwise, how long would you have kept it a secret from me?"
Chi Xingyao was eating strawberries on the side, and responded vaguely, condemning Shen Yinan: “That’s right, it’s too much, sell it!”
“…”
Shen Yinan looked at Chi Xingyao helplessly, his eyes full of help.
Chi Xingyao suppressed her laughter. Seeing that he was really overwhelmed, she helped to explain: "Grandma, it's really nothing. He really just twisted his ankle."
"Really?" Shen Hua didn't quite believe it.
Chi Xingyao took her phone and turned it to the front camera to show Shen Hua.
The boy indeed had all his limbs intact and a rosy complexion, except for a bulge on his ankle, which was wrapped in several bandages.
Shen Hua was relieved at this point, and after giving a few more instructions, he hung up the phone.
"Did you fall down or something?" Chi Xingyao asked curiously as she gave him half of the peeled orange.
Just as Ana Shen was about to speak, the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open.
He looked up and saw Xue Du walking towards him in a hurry.
The noble young man no longer had his usual elegance and composure, and his handsome face was full of worry.
He carefully looked at Shen Yinan, and after confirming that he was not missing any limbs or had any serious injuries, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Are you okay?"
Shen Yinan shook his head, but was more surprised that Xue Du would appear here.
Didn’t he go to inspect?
Seeing the other party's confusion, Xue Du steadied his breath and said slowly: "This is what I said. I just called you and wanted to ask you what you wanted to eat tonight, but you didn't answer the phone."
“My phone fell in the car.” Shen Yinan said this, a little embarrassed, “I fell just now, and several colleagues had to carry me…it was quite chaotic.”
I'm glad you're okay.
Xue Du breathed a sigh of relief.
He held Shen Yinan’s hand and was about to say something, but stopped again.
At this moment, I finally caught a glimpse of the third person in the ward.
Chi Xingyao hadn't realized she was acting like a light bulb yet. She was still stuffing oranges into her mouth and urging him vaguely:
"How did you fall? Tell me more carefully. Was someone trying to harm you? A business war? Whose cake did you touch?"
Xue Du: “…”
The young man casually took an orange from the fruit basket, peeled it, and handed it to Chi Xingyao, saying with a smile: "Xingyao, thank you for taking care of Nannan."
Chi Xingyao took the orange, met his gaze, and then glanced at someone who had suddenly become shy since Xue Du came in, and suddenly she had an epiphany.
"Oh, I suddenly remembered that my cat is about to give birth! I'll go back and check on her first, and call Nan tomorrow!"
She hurried away again with her bag.
Shen Yinan:…?
Doesn’t she have two eunuch cats at home? What are they giving birth to?
There were only two people left in the ward.
The sunlight falls into the room, making everything warm.
Shen Yinan felt shy but also warm - if you ignore his somewhat awkward posture.
Chi Xingyao left, and the only chair next to the bed became empty.
Xue Du sat down gracefully, took an apple from the fruit basket, peeled it slowly, picked up the fruit knife, cut it into small pieces, and finally put it in a bowl, put a toothpick on it, and then handed it to Shen Yinan.
Even when he did this kind of thing, he was elegant and calm.
The panic just now seemed like an illusion.
Shen Yinan took a bite of the apple, and it was so sweet that it would make people sick to death.
It was so sweet that even though her ankle still hurt, she couldn't stop her lips from curling up.
Xue Du wiped his hands and looked carefully at Shen Yinan's wound.
It had been bandaged, with white gauze wrapped around the slender ankle, making it look particularly pitiful.
"What did the doctor say?" Xue Du spoke in a very soft voice, as if he was afraid of scaring the wound.
"It's just a sprain. Just rest for a few days."
Only then did Shen Yinan notice that beads of sweat appeared on the other party's forehead, and he couldn't help feeling a little guilty, "I'm sorry, I made you worry."
"Why are you apologizing to me?" Xue Du reached out and pinched the other person's soft cheek. "I care about you. It's what I should do."
The tips of Shen Yinan’s ears were slightly hot, and he didn’t dare to look at him.
He cleared his throat and explained what had happened.
The company's cleaner is a relative of Shen Zhongcheng's secretary. He usually cuts corners at work. Today, in order to catch up with the drama, he poured detergent directly on the floor, then poured water to rinse it, and swept the excess water into the stairwell.
The cleaning staff originally thought that no one would use the stairs, but Shen Yinan came out of the cafeteria at that time and received the message and wanted to take a look, but he didn’t expect the ground to be slippery and fell down.
Fang Jie passed by and shouted, "The director has fainted," and went to call for help.
Shen Yinan wanted to stop him, but there were so many people rescuing him that no one listened to what he said, and several people wanted to help him.
Finally, Jiang Xun carried him to the car and rushed him to the hospital.
This hospital was the hospital where Shen Hua was hospitalized before. It had a VIP ward reserved for the Shen family, and Shen Yinan came in.
As soon as the doctor left, Chi Xingyao rushed in with her cell phone and asked him to make a video call with Shen Hua.
It's complete chaos.
It's actually just a simple sprain.
After listening to this, Xue Du's attention was elsewhere.
“Jiang Xun…is he here?” The young man played with Shen Yinan’s fingertips, his tone soft, “Why haven’t I heard you mention it?”
Are you an intern? How long have you been here? What do you do? Are the workstations close to each other?
Xue Du’s expression was no different from usual, but Shen Yinan inexplicably felt that he seemed unhappy.
“He’s here for an internship,” Shen Yinan explained.
Xue Du didn't ask why Jiang Xun came, but just asked, "Did they bully you?"
"No." If yelling at him to eat all the time didn't count.
Xue Du lowered his eyes, as if thinking about something.
He held Shen Yinan’s fingertips and was about to speak when he was interrupted by the uninvited guest.
“Alen Shen, your phone…”
The moment the door opened, both people in the ward looked up.
Jiang Xun was standing at the door. When he saw Xue Du, his raised brows instantly drooped.
He pursed his lips tightly for a long time before squeezing out a few words from between his teeth: "Brother Du, why are you here?"
The corners of his lips twitched, but anyone with a discerning eye could tell it wasn't a kind smile.
Compared to the impulsive boy who was not good at hiding his emotions, Xue Du was much calmer.
The young man curled his lips slightly and chuckled:
"It would be more appropriate for me to ask you this."
