Lan Xi was sitting on a stool beside the bed, looking at him with a smile. This face made Cheng Chiyan dazed. This face gradually overlapped with Lan Xi's smiling face that night.
When Cheng's mother heard this, she turned around and asked, "Son, do you know each other?"
Cheng Chiyan didn't know how to answer this question and began to regret why he spoke so quickly, but the words just came out of his mind!
"It's a coincidence. My friends and I had a party two days ago at..."
Lan Xi took over the topic with a smile, staring at Cheng Chiyan without blinking, and spoke slowly.
But Cheng Chiyan was a little frightened when he heard this. His parents didn't know that he was working in Mei, and he couldn't let them know. In a hurry, he said:
"We met at the hotel entrance, we met at the entrance!"
Cheng's mother ate her meal and looked up at her son with a strange look: "If we meet, then we meet! Why are you so anxious to interrupt when someone is only halfway through a sentence?"
Lan Xi sat on a stool, leaning against the bedside cabinet. She was still dressed gently as she was this morning, with high boots wrapped around her slender calves, her hands on her knees, and light makeup on, making her look pink and well-behaved.
Cheng Chiyan seemed not to hear what his mother said and stared at Lan Xi.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, his expression changed, he reached out and grabbed Lan Xi's wrist, and walked out:
"Mom, I suddenly remembered that we still have something to talk about. I'll be back in a minute!"
Mother Cheng looked up, her eyes fell on the hands of the two people, and the corners of her mouth curled up: "Walk slowly, there are many people in the hospital, be careful not to bump into the patients!"
"knew!"
In the stairwell, Cheng Chiyan asked Lan Xi with a gloomy face:
"I received a call from the HR department at noon today. They said I was reported for takeout and told me I was fired!"
He approached step by step, his height advantage making him look very oppressive: "Did you do this?"
Lan Xi looked up at him. To her, this feeling of oppression was just a child's temper. She raised her arms and said in a coquettish voice: "You hurt me~"
Her wrist was pinched tightly, and upon closer inspection, the outer circle had turned red. Cheng Chiyan loosened his hand and saw that bruises had begun to appear on Lan Xi's delicate skin.
Guilt appeared for a second, and Cheng Chiyan remembered his purpose: "Is it you?"
He asked again.
The distance was already too close, but Lan Xi still pulled at the corner of his clothes and tiptoed closer:
"Your grandma is not in good condition, you know. I can wait, can you wait? Can your grandma wait?"
Cheng Chiyan's face turned very bad, he knew it!
The moment he saw her, he knew it must be Lan Xi.
At this moment, his disgust towards Lan Xi reached its peak. Cheng Chiyan took back his clothes and took two steps back: "Why do you do this?"
Lan Xi put her hands behind her back and tilted her head like last time, expressing confusion at Cheng Chiyan's words: "The doctor said your grandma's surgery was basically unnecessary, right?"
"But what if we seek an expert? What if we seek a master?"
Lan Xi gently rubbed her wrist, which was about to be crushed, and walked in front of Cheng Chiyan. She blinked her eyes and looked at her with an innocent look:
"What if we consult a specialist? What if medication can provide a few more years of support?"
With every word she spoke, Cheng Chiyan's breathing became heavier. He seemed to have seen what his grandmother would look like in a few years.
"I... I think I have clearly rejected you!" Cheng Chiyan pushed Lan Xi away, his mind almost bewitched and he almost agreed to her impulsively.
He opened the door of the stairwell and left quickly, but Lan Xi's appearance just now lingered in his mind!
Before the door closed, Lan Xi stared straight at Cheng Chiyan's back, with her arms folded across her chest and a smile on her lips.
"Where is Lan Xi? Why did you come back alone?" Mother Cheng asked as she was packing her things after seeing her son coming back alone.
Cheng Chiyan was in a daze and didn't hear what his mother said. He walked to sit next to his grandmother, tucked in the corner of the quilt for her, and looked at her in a daze.
"I'm asking you a question. What are you thinking about?"
Seeing her son was distracted, Cheng's mother walked over and nudged him, a little worriedly saying, "Are you too tired lately? You haven't had enough rest!"
Cheng Chiyan woke up with a start and said quickly, "It's okay, Mom, I was just thinking about the project!"
"You! Stop thinking about going to the hospital all the time. Your dad and I are here!"
Picking up an apple, Cheng's mother sat at the end of the bed and started peeling it with a fruit knife.
Cheng Chiyan smiled. The clean man looked very sunny.
"Don't worry, Mom. I know what I'm doing. I was just thinking about the exam questions, so I was in a daze for a while."
"Where is Lan Xi? Why didn't she come back with you?" Cheng's mother was peeling an apple. The skin fell off evenly in circles, revealing the flesh inside.
Hearing Lan Xi's name, Cheng Chiyan's eyes automatically turned to his grandmother: "She went back for something! She said she'll come another day!"
