Chapter 177: Anxiety
Yan Ye hid from people for two weeks.
If the girl hadn't seen the gifts the man brought on the bedside table every morning when she woke up, she would have thought that this man had disappeared from her life.
I don’t know where Yan Ye learned this from, but every day he would either put a rose, jasmine, lily, etc. on her bedside table.
Occasionally, a few chocolates with foreign designs are added.
Xu Xiaoyue looked up at the flowers and fiddled with them from time to time.
This can't go on. She has been in the hospital for more than half a month.
Plus, the school is still in the suspension stage.
Because she took too long of a leave of absence and did not take part in any exams or club activities, her academic status was automatically transferred back to being dropped out.
She would take the initiative to ask Yan Ye to come and see her, and promise her to continue going to school.
Since he is so tolerant, she wants to see how long he can endure.
"Are you telling the truth?"
Lu Zhao frowned and looked at Xiao Xiao in front of him.
Ever since Xu Xiaoyue said her uncle was coming to pick her up, the girl seemed to have disappeared from the world.
No matter how Lu Zhao inquired, the school's explanation was that the girl had applied for leave of absence.
Suspension from school is either because of money or because the child has made a mistake and been detained.
In short, no one will take a leave of absence unless it is necessary.
It is obvious that Xu Xiaoyue has nothing to do with either of these. It's as if a living person just disappeared out of thin air.
Lu Zhao was so anxious that he went to the police station to report the case, but he was not a direct relative of the girl and could not contact her family, so the Public Security Bureau refused to accept the case.
Lu Zhao used all the means at his disposal to investigate but could not find out where Xu Xiaoyue was. Now a plain-looking girl showed up and claimed to be Xu Xiaoyue's friend. She told him that the person they had been looking for for most of the day was in a hospital less than three kilometers away from the school.
He just felt it was absurd, unbelievable yet somewhat reasonable.
Lu Zhao came anyway. Even though he suspected someone had set him up, he still followed Xiao Xiao to the hospital.
Lu Zhao was mentally prepared for a prank, but he didn't expect it to be true.
The girl was really hospitalized. Her complexion was not as rosy as before, and she seemed to be seriously ill.
After knowing that Lu Zhao had arrived, Yan Ye could no longer sit still.
He repeatedly told himself to keep calm, that the girl was not his property and that he had the freedom to make friends.
But whenever he thought of the girl and Lu Zhao chatting and laughing, Yan Ye felt like his chest was about to explode with anger.
Fuck your peace of mind. .
Yan Ye knew very well what kind of person Lu Zhao was and his evil ambitions. He was just short of telling Xu Xiaoyue openly that he liked him.
Such a person stayed with her, taking advantage of Xu Xiaoyue's need for comfort, and hurled sweet words at her as if they were free.
Xu Xiaoyue's heart was soft, and maybe she was really moved by him.
The more Yan Ye thought about it, the more he felt that he could no longer sit there and wait for death.
There was a green glow above his head at this moment. When he closed his eyes, he could imagine Lu Zhao looking at him with a smug smile on his face and a provocative expression.
The man thought about all kinds of things in his mind. He only sat in his seat for less than three minutes before he immediately stood up and strode towards the door of the girl's ward.
Yan Ye came so quickly that even Xu Xiaoyue was a little surprised.
Before she could say a few words to Lu Zhao, Yan Ye rushed to the door with an angry look on his face, as if someone owed him a million or eight hundred thousand.
Yan Ye arrived at the door and just stood outside waiting. His pair of dark eyes looked gloomily at Lu Zhao inside.
Without Xu Xiaoyue's permission, he didn't even dare to enter the door.
As Lu Zhao was speaking, his throat choked. He looked at the girl on the bed and whispered, "Your uncle is here again."
When Lu Zhao said this, he secretly looked at the girl's expression.
He had long suspected that the man at the door was not the girl's uncle.
After all, the possessiveness in that person's eyes didn't seem like something that would exist between family members.
Following Lu Zhao's words, Xu Xiaoyue looked towards the door. The man was standing in front of the door, not coming in. He was guarding the door like a pitiful big dog.
She lowered her eyes and clenched her hands. When she raised her head again, she looked at Lu Zhao and said, "You go back first. I will return to school after I get better."
The reason why she called Lu Zhao this time was, firstly, to use him to stimulate Yan Ye, and secondly, to inquire about the school's situation and the follow-up of the dividends from the previous sales of the drawings.
Lu Zhao knew many teachers at school, so he asked them to help find out how those who had applied for leave of absence could enroll in school as soon as possible.
After just a few words, she was about to leave again. Lu Zhao was a little confused, but he still listened to the girl obediently. When he left, he nodded to Yan Ye as a greeting.
But Yan Ye didn't even glance at him.
After Lu Zhao left, Yan Ye moved his lips, and he looked down at the ground with a focused look.
"Come in."
The girl's tone was very soft, and if Yan Ye hadn't listened carefully, he would have thought she didn't say anything.
"Call me?"
There was a hint of disbelief in his eyes as he repeated the question in a low voice, fearing that he might have misunderstood her.
Seeing his shocked expression, his hands and feet were stiff, which was very different from his usual calm demeanor.
Xu Xiaoyue turned her head to the side and muttered, "Forget it if you didn't hear it."
She pulled the quilt around her and pretended to go to sleep.
"I heard you, don't ignore me."
Yan Ye could hardly wait to stride over to the girl's bed. He leaned over and held her hand, as if he had done it a thousand times.
The man's tone still sounded a little aggrieved.
He thought that Xu Xiaoyue was still angry and would not pay attention to him.
Before Xu Xiaoyue could react, the man paused and continued in a shocking manner.
"Baby, hit me."
Xu Xiaoyue was so frightened by his words that she shrank back and looked at the door.
"What are you doing? Get up. Are you crazy?"
Xu Xiaoyue reached out to grab him, but Yan Ye just knelt on the ground and refused to get up.
"Baby, I'm sorry. I was wrong."
"I shouldn't have ignored your feelings and locked you up in the attic. All the stupid things I did before were my fault. I will never do that again."
Seeing him like this, Xu Xiaoyue blurted out without thinking: "Then I'm going to school."
Hearing the word "school", Yan Ye frowned, and he took advantage of the situation and held the girl's hand.
"You're not well yet."
"If you go to school now, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep up."
Thinking of Lu Zhao who had just arrived, Yan Ye subconsciously resisted going to school and refuted the girl without thinking.
“Whose fault is it that I can’t keep up?”
There was some disappointment in Xu Xiaoyue's eyes. She thought he had really changed, but she didn't expect that after a little probing, the possessiveness in a man's bones could not be hidden.
