"When your family member comes back, let them wipe you down. You can't get infected during this critical period."
The patient needed to rest, and then the group instructed the nurse to give Shen Ye a painkiller injection to relieve the pain in his wound before leaving.
It wasn't until dark that the nurse came to give Shen Ye her second injection. Chi Ruoyi didn't come either. Shen Ye thought that she was probably too busy to come here.
At two in the morning, Shen Ye was still awake. He turned to look out the window and saw the bright moon hanging in the sky, casting its silvery light on the earth.
He guessed that the street at this moment should be like a calm river, winding through the dense shadows of the trees along the roadside, with only the leaves rustling in the breeze as if recalling the hustle and bustle of the day.
The nurses thought Shen Ye couldn't sleep because of the pain, but that wasn't the case. He was thinking about that straight-as-an-arrow man.
Chi Ruoyi's helpless gaze, along with his words, pushed Shen Ye into despair once again.
He has a woman he likes, but what about Chen Ye? What should he do? How can he complete the system's tasks?
After a long while, perhaps because her neck was tired, or perhaps because she was too distracted, Shen Ye turned her head and inadvertently caught a glimpse of someone standing by the bed.
He must have been here for quite some time, standing there without making a sound.
The lights were off in the ward, but moonlight streamed in through the window, casting a hazy, gray glow that blurred his handsome face.
Seeing that Shen Ye had noticed him, and seemingly lost in thought, his previously composed brows furrowed instantly. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but then remained silent.
Suddenly, I remembered the first time I met Chi Ruoyi a few days ago. At that time, Chi Ruoyi was like a god descending to earth, bringing light to Shen Ye and illuminating the endless darkness around Shen Ye.
"You're here. I thought you weren't coming."
Shen Ye broke the silence first. When he said this, there was not much struggle in his eyes when he looked at Chi Ruoyi. His tone was as calm as if he had practiced these words a thousand times.
"Um."
Looking into his eyes, Shen Ye suddenly had a feeling that even if he hadn't told Shen Ye that he had someone he liked, even if he hadn't said the same things he had said during the day, he still wouldn't break through his own heart, fall in love with Shen Ye, and be with her.
A straight man like him would probably hate people like Shen Ye who like the same sex the most, right?
With this realization, Shen Ye suddenly felt very sad, as if a piece of her heart was missing, leaving an empty, painful void.
"I miss you."
Even though she knew it was an impossible task, Shen Ye still wanted to try her best.
After listening, Chi Ruoyi frowned, looking like he wanted to say something but couldn't.
He didn't speak, but Shen Ye stared intently at Chi Ruoyi and said again, "I really missed you."
Chi Ruoyi was taken aback, his expression gradually turning cold. After a long silence, he said indifferently, "I'm here to find something I dropped here during the day. I'll leave immediately."
Shen Ye's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously clenched her hands, staring even more intently at Chi Ruoyi. Only then did she realize that there was something strange in his eyes, as if some unspeakable secret was hidden in his calm and indifferent gaze.
"Okay, then turn on the light and look for it."
Chi Ruoyi turned on the light, and the blinding light immediately flooded his eyes, making it impossible for Chen Ye to open them.
Neither of them spoke, and the ward was eerily quiet. Shen Ye could hear his heart pounding violently, and the deathly silence spread like a plague through the vast ward.
