Ziheng didn't refute anymore. He opened his mouth and yawned deeply. He turned over and nudged towards him. He was really sleepy. He had never slept so late before.

Xia Xi woke up very early, before five o'clock, and it was still dark outside.
As soon as she opened her eyes, Xu Yanfeng noticed it. After he coaxed Ziheng to sleep, he got up from the accompanying bed, moved a chair and sat beside the bed, staying awake all night.
Afraid that the sudden sound would scare Xia Xi, Xu Yanfeng held her hand tightly and leaned forward slightly to let her know his presence.
Xia Xi felt the force in his hand and slowly turned his head. In the dim light, he saw Xu Yanfeng's face. The light and shadow were clear and distinct, like an old movie poster, with a sense of unreality.
"Does it still hurt?" Xu Yanfeng asked softly.
"It doesn't hurt." Xia Xi's voice was a little hoarse, thinking of the excruciating pain last night, "What's wrong with me?"
After arriving at the hospital, she lost consciousness and had no idea what happened afterwards.
Xu Yanfeng repeated the doctor's words to her. As he spoke, his voice gradually hardened and his expression became more serious, no longer so gentle. Finally, he emphasized one point: "The doctor said that it might be damage to the protective barrier of the gastric mucosa caused by irregular diet."
Irregular diet.
Who knows how she spends her time in the company during the day.
He didn't know what her condition was like in the past, but since she moved in with him, they'd been eating breakfast and dinner together. Ziheng said she'd had stomach aches since she was abroad, and they probably accumulated some of that back then, and it had flared up recently because she hadn't paid attention.
Xia Xi was silent for a moment and asked, "Can I be discharged from the hospital today?"
Xu Yanfeng reached out and pressed her forehead, as if to calm her down: "Xia Xi, you are a human, not a machine. You had an operation after all, so stay in the hospital for a few days first."
Xia Xi said hesitantly: "It's just a polyp removed."
Xu Yanfeng was so angry at her nonchalant tone that he was speechless.
Xia Xi saw his expression changing again and again, getting worse and worse, as if she had pissed him off. She pursed her lips, thinking that Xu Yanfeng was also concerned about her, so she didn't argue with him and took a step back, saying, "I'll listen to the doctor. I'll do whatever the doctor says."
Xu Yanfeng's expression softened a bit. "From now on, I will strictly control your three meals a day. If you continue to be perfunctory, I will..." He seemed to have not thought of anything that could threaten her. He was silent for several seconds before saying, "Go to your company and complain."
Xia Xi: “…”
"What a ruthless company! They make us work overtime like crazy and don't even give us time to eat. They should just go bankrupt as soon as possible."
Xia Xi coughed lightly and reminded him: "I am a partner of the company."
“…”
"It's an old problem, and it's more serious this time. I will pay attention to it in the future." Xia Xi looked at his choked expression, the corners of her lips curled up, she wanted to laugh but held it back, her eyes sparkling, beautiful and smart.
Like when she was in college.
Xu Yanfeng's heart seemed to be hit. He stood up with his hands on the edge of the bed, his back hunched, his eyebrows lowered, and taking advantage of her weakness and unpreparedness, his lips fell on the corner of her lips.
Touch and leave.
Xia Xi froze, her eyelids stopped blinking, and she stared fixedly at the person in front of her. Then, she heard the man's voice, which sounded both helpless and warning: "Can you please stop arguing with me?"
