"Oh, I'm doing homework at home. I have so many papers, they're piled up like a mountain. I don't know how you managed to get through your senior year of high school. I think it was so hard. Some questions are familiar to me, but some are unfamiliar to me." Xia Xuan pretended to be fine. "Mom is cooking in the kitchen. I have your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs for lunch today, but it's a pity you're not home, so you can't have it."
Xia Xi listened to her tone of voice which was pretending to be relaxed, and listened carefully, she could still hear that her breathing was sometimes heavy and sometimes weak, which were common symptoms of the disease, including difficulty breathing and shortness of breath.
She understood. Xia Xuan was in a coma when she called before. She didn't know that she had already learned about her hospitalization from her eldest sister. She was hiding it because she didn't want her to worry about her.
This fool...
Did she think she could keep it a secret forever? Sooner or later, she would find out.
Xia Xi closed her eyes, two lines of tears rolled down and flowed into the corners of her mouth. She tasted the bitterness.
Xia Xuan was still chattering away, "I'm so hungry! I'm going to have a big bowl of rice later. By the way, what are you having for lunch? I heard the food at your school is delicious. Sister? Sister? That's strange! Why is there no sound? Is the signal bad?"
Xia Xi raised her sleeve to wipe her tears. Since she wanted to hide it, she would cooperate with her and pretend that she didn't know she was in the hospital: "Let's have spicy hot pot for lunch. My appetite hasn't been very good recently, so I want to eat something with a strong flavor."
Xia Xuan's breathing became more rapid, and she quickly put the phone away, worried that Xia Xi might hear her. After she calmed down a bit, she put the phone back to her ear. Lying on the hospital bed, she looked at the snow-white ceiling and said longingly, "Oh, I want to eat spicy hot pot too, the kind with spicy and vinegar. Unfortunately, the only two times I've had spicy hot pot, they were cooked in clear broth, and it was tasteless."
Xia Xi couldn't stand it anymore, so he made up an excuse and hung up the phone in a hurry.
She wiped her tears and walked back quickly. Her body was covered in sweat, which exploded on her skin and caused a stinging pain.
Xia Xi untied the tie at the waist of his coat, opened his collar and ran, fearing that if he was a step too late, the chairman of Xu Group would be gone.
