After finishing his meeting, Xian Mingyu rushed over to see Bai Xiaoruo. As soon as he entered the ward, he saw Bai Xiaoruo muttering to herself as she looked for her phone. Even though she couldn't move one of her arms, she had no intention of staying still.
Why was she so anxious to find her phone? Who was she trying to contact? Her Ziqian brother?
He strode to Bai Xiaoruo's bedside, opened the second drawer of the bedside table, and tossed her phone onto the bed. "What, you can't wait to call your Ziqian brother? You panic so much if you can't reach him for even a moment?"
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Bai Xiaoruo gripped her phone tightly, somewhat angry.
How could he be like this?
Bai Xiaoruo didn't expect Xian Mingyu to apologize to her or say anything nice, but it was too much for him to fabricate such a ridiculous relationship with Ziqian.
I am in this state now, and it's all thanks to him.
"If not, why are you so nervous? Are you feeling guilty?"
"This has nothing to do with you!"
"Heh, it's alright?" He sneered, suddenly leaning down and grabbing her delicate chin with his hand. "Bai Xiaoruo, who gave you the audacity to keep distancing yourself from me? Let me say it again, believe me or not, even if this is a hospital, I can still take care of you!"
"You, you mustn't do this!" Bai Xiaoruo tried to push Xian Mingyu away with all her might, resisting his touch.
While struggling, Bai Xiaoruo accidentally aggravated the wound on her arm. She frowned in pain and cried out. Xian Mingyu thought he had hurt her, so he let go of her chin.
This little girl always manages to easily provoke his anger.
If she weren't so stubborn, he wouldn't want to keep going against her like this.
He couldn't afford to lose his composure in front of her again. He had a mountain of work waiting for him, and he hadn't even had breakfast. Why would he bother to care about her?
Xuan Mingyu turned around and straightened his suit. "I've already asked the school for leave for you. Stay here and behave yourself. If you run around again, I don't mind hurting your leg too!"
"you!"
Xuan Mingyu left the ward in a hurry, before Bai Xiaoruo could even call him back.
He's a demon! A complete demon!
How could I have ever thought he was a good person? I must be crazy!
I only took one day of sick leave originally, but now that I've injured my hand, I'll really have to take many more days of sick leave.
It seems I really can't just ask for leave casually in the future, otherwise I'll be the one who suffers the consequences.
A young nurse pushed in a cart carrying delicious food, all of which was beneficial for wound healing.
It smelled delicious. As soon as the nurse put the food on the table, Bai Xiaoruo's stomach started rumbling with hunger.
I haven't eaten anything since last night, and now I feel so hungry whenever I see food.
Bai Xiaoruo lost so much blood last night, now she not only needs to replenish her nutrition, but also needs to make up for the blood loss.
As soon as the nurse set out the food, Bai Xiaoruo couldn't wait to throw off the covers and get out of bed.
She injured her arm, not her leg, so she can still get out of bed easily. It's just that her right hand is injured, which makes many things inconvenient for her.
"Miss, let me feed you." Just as Bai Xiaoruo was about to pick up the chopsticks on the table, the nurse had already thoughtfully served her a small bowl of nourishing crucian carp soup.
After thinking about it, Bai Xiaoruo decided to let the nurse feed her, since it was really inconvenient to hold chopsticks with her left hand.
First, she drank a bowl of warm fish soup. The nurse was very attentive and even picked out a lot of tender fish meat for her, without any bones.
"Miss, may I ask you a question?"
"Hmm? What's the problem?"
"Are you... really Mr. Xuan's cousin? He's so good to you. He stayed by your side from last night until this morning, and he just rushed over again. You're so lucky to have such a handsome cousin who's so good to you."
"Uh..." Bai Xiaoru didn't know how to answer the nurse for a moment.
Judging from her infatuated look, you can tell she's definitely captivated by Xian Mingyu's handsome face.
Pshaw! It's all an illusion!
What's wrong with him staying up all night for her? Shouldn't he? Who told him to be so rude last night!
He said so many nasty things when he came over, it makes Bai Xiaoru angry just thinking about it. She doesn't want to see Xuan Mingyu again.
No wonder they dared to bring her to the hospital; using their cousin relationship as a cover, they naturally wouldn't let anyone notice anything.
After eating some rice and vegetables, Bai Xiaoruo felt a little tired.
After the nurse finished cleaning up the dishes, she left, leaving Bai Xiaoruo alone in the ward again.
She lay in bed, idly staring blankly.
My right hand is injured, so I can't draw or do many other things. I don't know when this arm will heal.
After taking a nap, Ji Shushu called in the evening to ask Bai Xiaoruo what illness she had and why she had taken so many days off. Bai Xiaoruo just gave her a vague answer and didn't tell her that it was an arm injury, otherwise the girl would have been even more worried.
Bai Xiaoruo specifically instructed Ji Shushu not to tell Ji Ziqian about her illness and sick leave, because she didn't want him to worry.
Knowing that Xian Mingyu disliked Ji Ziqian, Bai Xiaoruo dared not openly contact Ji Ziqian too closely anymore, otherwise he would probably get very angry again.
Before he left today, he ordered her to stay here and not go anywhere. What's the difference between that and a prisoner in jail, especially an injured one?
"Okay then, when are you coming back? My brother's birthday is in a few days, you're not going to keep hiding from him, are you?"
"I wasn't avoiding Brother Ziqian... By the way! Is Brother Ziqian's birthday the 11th of this month?"
"Yeah, are you crazy? We've celebrated my brother's birthday for so many years."
"Oh my god! What a coincidence..." Bai Xiaoruo suddenly remembered that before Xuan Xingze left last month, he specifically told her that Xuan Mingyu's birthday was on the 12th, which meant it was the day after Ziqian's birthday.
There are only five days left until Ziqian's birthday, isn't that a bit too rushed?
I haven't even prepared a gift for myself, what should I do?
"Xiaobai? Xiaobai? Why aren't you saying anything? What did you just say about coincidence?"
"Oh? It's nothing, it's just that a friend of mine has her birthday the day after Ziqian's."
"Oh, I see... Well, that won't affect anything. Anyway, you absolutely can't hide from my brother on his birthday anymore, okay? He even prepared a special gift for you, hehe, it's my pick, I'm sure you'll like it. Go on a beautiful date with my brother then~"
"A gift? It's not my birthday, why would you prepare a gift for me? Sigh, Shushu, I haven't decided what to give Ziqian yet. I can't just go empty-handed. Can you help me think of something?"
Bai Xiaoruo sighed into the phone, annoyed at herself for forgetting such an important event as Ziqian's birthday. She didn't even have a few days to prepare a gift, and she was still lying in the hospital.
