Chapter 86 It's really worrying
"I……"
Shen Sibai pursed his lips and was speechless for a moment.
Although Xie Tinglan’s words were harsh, Shen Sibai couldn’t deny…what he said was the truth.
It was because he did not take good care of Xia Linxing and was too indulgent to Xia Linxing that he did not stop her when she ate two boxes of self-heating hot pot (one of which was spicy hot pot) in one day.
"So..." Xie Tinglan glanced at Shen Sibai condescendingly, without giving Shen Sibai a chance to defend himself, and directly made a conclusion: "I will call Fang Xuyang later and ask him to send you back."
Seeing the struggle and reluctance on Shen Sibai's face, Xie Tinglan mercifully added, "You go back first. If we don't make it back in time, we'll need you to help Xia Linxing explain to the program crew."
Hearing this, Shen Sibai nodded reluctantly in agreement.
Soon, Fang Xuyang drove to the hospital after receiving the call.
"That star..." Chen Sibai touched the forehead of Xia Linxing, who was lying on the emergency bed receiving an IV drip, and said goodbye reluctantly: "I'll go back first..."
"You should rest well and recuperate well..."
Xie Tinglan stood beside the bed, watching coldly as Shen Sibai's hand gently brushed across Xia Linxing's forehead and touched Xia Linxing's hair, which looked wilted due to illness. He felt that the hand was extremely annoying.
So Xie Tinglan did what he thought and started to drive him away: "It's getting late, you should hurry back..."
Fang Xuyang saw at a glance that his boss was unhappy, and quickly pulled Shen Sibai: "Let's go, Xiaobai, it's enough for the boss to be here..."
Only then did Shen Sibai reluctantly follow Fang Xuyang away.
Just sitting in the car, Shen Sibai still looked reluctant and absent-minded. Fang Xuyang saw the expression on Shen Sibai's face through the rearview mirror. In line with his attitude of caring about his (studio's) artists, he still spoke to comfort him: "Don't worry, Xiaobai..."
"Our boss and Xia Linxing's family are actually old friends. They have known each other since childhood..."
"So the boss will definitely take good care of Xia Linxing, you don't have to worry too much."
“Hmm…” Shen Sibai responded muffledly.
He had actually vaguely seen this from the first day Xia Linxing came up to him (to find fault). At that time, he still sympathized with Xie Tinglan for knowing such a difficult person, but now, he only had envy left -
If only... he was also Xia Linxing's family member...
This way... he can legitimately stay and take care of him...
…
In the emergency room.
Xie Tinglan was pulling the curtains around the bed, trying to create a relatively stable environment for Xia Linxing to rest, when he heard a faint voice behind him.
"Teacher Xie?" Xia Linxing half-opened his eyes and looked around blankly.
After being placed on the hospital bed, he finally relaxed a bit (he'd been afraid of disturbing others in the dormitory). The result of his relaxation was that Xia Linxing, already exhausted, fell asleep. Even when the nurse gave him an IV, he only twitched his arm slightly and didn't wake up.
So now that he saw that Xie Tinglan was the only one left around, he couldn't help but ask Xie Tinglan blankly: "Teacher Xie, where is Shen Sibai?"
"He's gone back..." Xie Tinglan dragged a chair over and sat down beside the bed, looking down at Xia Linxing: "How are you? Are you feeling better now?"
Xia Linxing nodded to indicate that he understood, then carefully felt his current physical condition and nodded honestly: "Much better..."
Although my stomach still felt a little uncomfortable, at least it wasn't the severe cramps like before that made me curl up in pain.
"That's good..." Xie Tinglan nodded and picked up a pack of tissues.
He took one out from inside, leaned forward slightly, lifted the sweaty hair on Xia Linxing's forehead with his fingertips, gently moved it aside, and then used a tissue to slowly move along Xia Linxing's forehead, gently wiping away the sweat on Xia Linxing's forehead.
Xia Linxing obediently raised her face, looked at Xie Tinglan with big eyes, and let him do what he wanted.
Xie Tinglan almost forgot that the man who was now lying obediently on the hospital bed was admitted to the hospital because he was disobedient and secretly ate in the dormitory.
"Tell me about it..."
Taking care of children is taking care of them, but for disobedient children, you still need to "interrogate" them clearly -
"What on earth is going on today?"
Xie Tinglan looked down at Xia Linxing, his eyes as deep as ink.
The low voice, which was somewhat different from the previous ones, made Xia Linxing subconsciously shrink his neck. He pursed his pale lips, his eyes wandering, not daring to meet Xie Tinglan's real gaze.
"I, I just..." Xia Linxing stammered, wanting to pretend to be unconscious, but he had just said that he was much better. In the end, he could only bite the bullet and answer: "Because I haven't eaten for a long time, I just couldn't control myself..."
After Xia Linxing finished speaking, she carefully raised her eyes and glanced at Xie Tinglan's face. Seeing that his face was still serious, she subconsciously reached out from under the quilt, gently grabbed Xie Tinglan's sleeve, and shook it slightly.
"S-Sorry, Teacher Xie..."
He was like a kitten who had done something wrong: "I know I was wrong, and I won't do it again..."
Xie Tinglan glanced down at Xia Linxing's hand tugging at his sleeve, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. But when he looked up again, he tried hard to flatten the corners of his mouth and put on an expression of unfeeling seriousness: "Really?"
"Do you promise not to hide food from others anymore?"
Xia Linxing quickly assured: "No, no, I promise I won't do it again in the future..."
Xie Tinglan then coughed lightly twice, used the action of covering his mouth to flatten the corners of his mouth that had turned up again, cleared his throat and said: "If you can really do this, what happened today... I will keep it a secret for you and won't tell your family."
Xia Linxing's eyes lit up.
He almost forgot about this! Fortunately, he promised it in advance!
"But..." Xie Tinglan changed the subject: "If I catch you again, I will tell your family about this..."
Xia Linxing nodded like a chick pecking at rice: "I understand."
Seeing that Xia Linxing was obedient, Xie Tinglan, after beating her with the "stick", began to give her "sweet dates": "I'm not saying that you can't eat anything."
After all, many trainees actually hid food on the sly, and the production crew just turned a blind eye. However, it was the first time I'd seen someone like Xia Linxing, who had himself admitted to the hospital...
"If you want to eat something in the future, come to me."
"As long as your request is not excessive, I will buy it for you."
"but--"
“You can only eat here.”
"Do you understand?" Xie Tinglan used his finger to hook Xia Linxing's curly hair spread on the pillow. "I'm not forbidding you from eating, but if you want to eat food from outside, you have to get my permission first."
Seeing Xia Linxing open her mouth as if she wanted to say something, Xie Tinglan used another all-purpose excuse, "After all, your family asked me to take good care of you... If you kept getting into trouble, I wouldn't be able to explain to them, right?"
"Xingxing, you shouldn't make things difficult for me, right?"
Xia Linxing nodded dejectedly.
He originally wanted to say that he had promised Shen Sibai not to get close to Xie Tinglan, but now all his words were blocked by Xie Tinglan...
At worst, he won't eat anything from outside anymore! Anyway, I can just bear with it until I'm done with it!
After getting the answer he wanted, Xie Tinglan nodded with satisfaction, "Then you can take a rest..."
As for whether Xia Linxing would come to his place to eat later... Xie Tinglan smiled slightly: Chen Sibai could lure Xia Linxing away with a box of self-heating hot pot, so is he still afraid of not being able to find food to lure her back?
He reached out his hand and manually closed Xia Linxing's still open eyes: "Go to sleep, I will watch over the drip, and I will call you when it's finished..."
Xia Linxing was also a little tired. He nodded slightly, followed Xie Tinglan's hand, closed his eyes, and fell asleep soon.
Xie Tinglan reached out and slowed down the flow of the drip, then gently tucked the corner of the quilt for him.
He looked at Xia Linxing's well-behaved and quiet sleeping face, touched Xia Linxing's soft cheeks, and the corners of his mouth softened into an arc that he didn't even notice.
"It's really worrying..."
