He was originally expected to be discharged from the hospital the next day, but was delayed because of a sudden fever. Xu Nuo lay in bed in a daze, and his already unclear mind made the situation even worse.
At the same time, Jiang Sinian stared blankly at the message sent by his assistant on the mobile phone screen.
"You didn't know Mr. Xu before, and your lives rarely intersected."
He knew every word, but when they were put together, he couldn't understand it. If they hadn't known each other before, then why did the boy look so hurt?
Jiang Sinian unconsciously increased the strength of his fingers holding the phone, and his fingertips turned slightly white.
The next one is some basic information about Xu Nuo. He is the only son of Xu Zhoushan, the chairman of Xu Corporation. He was spoiled growing up. Later, he ventured into the entertainment industry without his family's knowledge. He was suppressed by the company and has not made it to the stage yet. He was accidentally hit on the set and was temporarily unconscious. He is currently receiving treatment at Jiang's hospital.
It was an ordinary piece of information, and Jiang Sinian could get a general idea of it with just a few quick glances. He was a typical naive young master who grew up in a greenhouse, nothing special. The only thing that stood out was undoubtedly the face that was extremely favored by the Creator.
"Is Xu Nuo here today?" Jiang Sinian turned to look at Xie An who was fiddling with the equipment on the side.
"No, not even yesterday," Xie An replied. "I heard he had a fever."
Jiang Sinian's body reacted faster than his brain, and he sat up from the bed almost subconsciously, "Take me to see him."
"You... shouldn't be able to walk around freely."
"I can use a wheelchair."
Xie An opened his mouth but did not refute. He went to look for a wheelchair. After all, this person's physical condition could not be judged by common sense.
…
Five minutes later, Jiang Sinian was sitting in a wheelchair, and Xie An behind him pushed him all the way down to the 19th floor.
Xu Nuo was still sleeping in bed, with his father and mother watching over him. The description of him as spoiled in the information was indeed quite objective.
"Excuse me," Xie An knocked lightly on the door and walked in, "I'm here to check on the patient."
Xu Zhoushan recognized Jiang Sinian, but he didn't expect that the man who was rumored to be seriously injured and died could actually sit there well.
"Uncle Jiang, Aunt Jiang, sorry to bother you," Jiang Sinian said with a polite smile and nodded, "I heard Nuonuo was sick, so I took the initiative to follow Doctor Xie here."
Xu Zhoushan nodded in surprise. He never expected that his son, who usually ignored the company's affairs, actually knew the elusive leader of the Jiang family.
Xu Nuo was already sleeping soundly, and when he heard the noise he opened his eyes and looked at the person coming.
The boy's originally fair skin was coated with a layer of pink due to the heat. It seemed that he was having difficulty breathing, and even his lips were parted a little. He could be heard panting, which looked pitiful, but added a touch of sickly beauty to his appearance.
Jiang Sinian turned his wheelchair and got closer. He could clearly see the little hand with the needle stuck in it outside the quilt and the purple mark on it. The strange dull pain came again, and it felt like not only his head but also his heart was blocked.
Xu Nuo, who had a fever, suddenly saw the lover he had been thinking about day and night. He did not look at him with that cold and strange gaze, but was only a few feet away from him. He did not know if it was an illusion, but there seemed to be some heartache and worry on his face.
"Um...husband."
The warm hand was raised weakly, as if to grab his hand. Jiang Sinian subconsciously moved his hand forward and held his softer, smaller hand tightly in his palm.
"Um."
After receiving a response, the confused Xu Nuo put on a sweet smile on his face and fell into a deep sleep again.
The ward was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Jiang Sinian realized belatedly that something was wrong with the atmosphere. When he raised his eyes, he met Xu Zhoushan's unfriendly gaze.
"Uh... Nuonuo has a fever and is a bit disoriented. Xiao Jiang, please don't mind." Mother Xu was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward, pulled her son's hand out and put it back under the quilt. "This child is either talking nonsense or has mistaken me for someone else."
The words that Jiang Sinian didn't say were stuck in his chest, and in the end he could only squeeze out a "hmm".
"Mr. Xu's condition is very stable. His fever will probably subside this afternoon. We won't bother him for now."
At the critical moment, Xie An demonstrated his professionalism and pushed Jiang Sinian away from Xu Nuo's ward as if escaping.
"Boss Jiang, are you...openly provoking my father-in-law?"
“…I’m not.”
"Oh, that might be because Mr. Xiao Xu mistook you for his boyfriend."
These words all hit Jiang Sinian's lungs. It would be better not to say them. Jiang Sinian felt that familiar headache coming back again.
"Xie An, shut up."
