Yu Muqing noticed his embarrassment and continued to ask, "Is it hard to say?"
Xiao Xin pursed his lips and clenched his fists. It wasn't that he couldn't talk about it; it was that he simply didn't want to recall it.
No one spoke in the car; the atmosphere suddenly became quiet, so quiet that you could almost hear someone breathing…
The temperature in the carriage gradually rose, and the cold air was replaced by warm air, but Xiao Xin still felt cold inside.
"Why won't he return the necklace to me?" Xiao Xin suddenly spoke, breaking the eerie silence.
Yu Muqing gripped the steering wheel with one hand, a slight smile playing on her lips: "Then why are you so fixated on that necklace?"
Xiao Xin shut up again.
Yu Muqing continued, "That necklace doesn't look like it's anything very valuable, does it?"
Xiao Xin actually considered jumping off a building because of that necklace.
“That necklace has a very important meaning to me…” Xiao Xin said.
He kept his head down, and Yu Muqing couldn't see the expression on his face.
Yu Muqing casually shifted her gaze to the front of the car: "The original owner of that necklace was Jiang Yuqing."
Xiao Xin suddenly looked up, surprised, and asked, "Jiang Yuqing?"
Seeing his surprised expression, Yu Muqing asked again, "What, you don't recognize him?"
Xiao Xin: "..."
He paused for a moment, then shut his mouth again.
How could he not recognize Jiang Yuqing? Wasn't Jiang Yuqing the person He Yunzhou loved the most?
Xiao Xin had never met Jiang Yuqing, only heard of her, and had no idea that the necklace belonged to her.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Yu Muqing wisely kept quiet as well.
Xiao Xin looked out the window, the bright sunlight stinging his eyes.
His eyelids were slightly red, and he murmured softly, "I don't know him."
He answered Yu Muqing's question with a resolute tone.
Yu Muqing looked at his reddened eyes, frowned, and was surprised by his answer, but didn't say anything and continued to drive attentively.
Xiao Xin sniffed and suddenly wanted a cigarette, but then changed his mind because he was in Yu Muqing's car.
“Then you and He Yunzhou…” Yu Muqing suddenly spoke again.
"I don't know him."
This time, Xiao Xin answered quickly and uttered those three words without hesitation.
Yu Muqing choked up, realizing that Xiao Xin was lying and was blatantly trying to evade the issue.
He saw Xiao Xin wiping away tears again in the rearview mirror and decided to shut his mouth and stop talking.
This man is quite prone to crying...
＊
When the two arrived at the hospital, Xiao Xin didn't register by himself. Yu Muqing pulled him straight to the third floor to see Fu Yan first.
Xiao Xin and Yu Muqing were standing at the door when they ran into the doctor coming out.
The doctor closed the door behind him, and when he saw Yu Muqing, he looked somewhat surprised. Then he bowed his head politely and said, "Mr. Yu."
Yu Muqing hummed in agreement, glanced at the person inside through the small window in the ward door, and asked the doctor with lowered eyes, "How is he?"
The doctor removed his mask, revealing a kind face, and said gently, "The patient experienced a temporary shock due to a food allergy. Fortunately, he was brought in in time; otherwise, the consequences could have been much more serious..."
Xiao Xin's pupils trembled slightly; it turned out to be a food allergy...
He thought he had done something wrong.
The man was pressing down on his neck quite hard, I didn't expect him to be so fragile at such a young age.
However, Xiao Xin breathed a sigh of relief, patting his chest and muttering to himself, "It's good that he's not dead."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt two strange gazes fixed on him.
Xiao Xin's expression froze, and when she looked up, she saw the doctor and Yu Muqing staring at her with strange looks.
He then realized he had misspoke, scratched his neck, and chuckled awkwardly, "Haha, I meant, I meant it's good that everything's alright..."
The doctor glanced at him in surprise, then pointed at Xiao Xin and asked Yu Muqing, "And who is this?"
“My friend,” Yu Muqing replied.
The doctor put his hands in his pockets and nodded to Mu Qing: "If there's nothing else, I'll go back to my work..."
Yu Muqing stepped aside to make way for the doctor: "Thank you, doctor."
The doctor waved and turned to leave.
Yu Muqing then turned her gaze to Xiao Xin's neck, looking at the glaring finger marks, and felt a strange sensation in her heart.
What exactly did Xiao Xin do to make Fu Yan use such a heavy hand?
Xiao Xin felt his unfathomable gaze fall on her neck and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xiao Xin's eyes were pure and innocent. Yu Muqing shook her head at him, grabbed his wrist, and turned to leave: "Let's go, I'll take you to get some medicine first."
Xiao Xin stared blankly at the slender fingers that were gripping her wrist.
Yu Muqing's hand was warm and strong, and it felt reassuring to hold it.
But Xiao Xin felt that there must be some hidden secret behind this reassurance, waiting for him to take the bait.
Yu Muqing walked very slowly this time, as if she deliberately slowed down to accommodate Xiao Xin's pace.
Xiao Xin naturally sensed it as well.
As they stepped into the elevator, Xiao Xin almost tripped over someone. Yu Muqing naturally took his arm and pulled him into her arms.
Yu Muqing only let go of Xiao Xin after he stood up straight again.
Xiao Xin stood beside him, bowed her head, and whispered, "Thank you."
Yu Muqing didn't say anything, put one hand in her pocket and stood up straight again.
...
The two returned to the first floor. Xiao Xin was about to register when Yu Muqing pulled him aside and said it wasn't necessary. She then took him directly to a medical room.
Yu Muqing knocked on the door, and a clear male voice came from behind the door: "Come in."
A male doctor was hunched over a table copying something. When he saw Yu Muqing, he called out, "Mr. Yu."
Yu Muqing nodded and pushed Xiao Xin in front of him: "Help me take a look at his injuries and see if he needs a CT scan."
