Chapter 992 Bai Xuqian's fall
Zheng Hao had a document that needed to be delivered to Qiangguang Company. He couldn't contact Bai Xuqian, so he called his assistant and found out that Bai Xuqian was sick and hospitalized.
Zheng Hao asked on the other end of the phone: "Boss Bai, which hospital are you in?"
Bai Xuqian: "No need to make a special trip. I just have a fever and will be discharged in two days."
"Of course I will go. I consider Mr. Bai a friend. If you refuse again, it will make me feel awkward."
Things had gotten to this point, and Bai Xuqian couldn't refuse anymore, so he gave out the hospital and ward number.
Chang Pu waited until he hung up the phone before asking, "Friend? Or partner?"
"He's both a friend and a partner, and he's a very pleasant guy to get along with."
Bai Xuqian put his phone on the bedside table and looked up at the man in front of him: "I have recovered a lot and can stay in the hospital alone."
The man placed his palm on his forehead and patted it a little harder: "You're burned like this, and you're telling me you've recovered a lot?"
"It's really much better! I saw my grandmother coming to pick me up last night."
Bai Xuqian sighed, "I haven't been sick for a long time. I thought I was in good health."
"People always get sick, so take good care of yourself."
Near noon, Chang Pu asked, "What do you want to eat? Even if you really have no appetite, you should eat something. The nurse said that oral medication needs to be taken after meals."
Bai Xuqian really didn't have much of an appetite, but it was hard to refuse the man's kindness.
He thought for a moment and said, "I just want to drink some porridge."
"I'll be back soon, just lie still."
"Alas! In my current state, I don't have the energy to run around."
Bai Xuqian was buried in the quilt, watching the man walk out of the ward.
The loneliness of seeing a doctor alone was dispelled by this man who suddenly arrived. It turns out that it feels so good to have someone by my side.
Zheng Hao had just entered the elevator of the inpatient department when he bumped into Chang Pu who was walking out.
He froze in place, trying to make sure he had recognized the right person. "Brother Chang, why are you in the hospital?"
"A friend of mine is not feeling well and is in the hospital."
Chang Pu saw Zheng Hao holding a fruit basket and a gift box and asked, "Are you here to see the patient?"
"Boss Bai is sick and in the hospital, so I came to see him."
"Which ward is he in? I'll go visit him when I have time."
Although I have never met Bai Xuqian, we are a partner after all, so I should visit him out of interpersonal etiquette.
Zheng Hao: "Ward 1302 on the 13th floor."
"Yeah, I know..." Chang Pu's expression changed instantly: "Which ward?"
"Ward 1302 on the 13th floor." Zheng Hao saw Chang Pu's big reaction and his eyes were filled with confusion.
Is there something wrong with this ward?
Why did Brother Chang react so strongly?
Chang Pu's mind was in a state of confusion. He tried to control his expression: "Go see Mr. Bai first, but don't tell him that I'm in the hospital too."
Zheng Hao didn't quite understand Chang Pu's intention, but he didn't ask any more questions.
"Then I'll go up first."
Zheng Hao's back was submerged in the elevator.
Chang Pu could no longer hold back his emotions and showed them completely.
He was dazedly sorting out his messy thoughts.
The small waist is really Bai Xuqian.
In fact, there are traces to follow.
When they first met, he thought their voices were very similar, and later more and more similarities emerged.
He should have realized it in the mountain cabin, but he was obsessed with this relationship and refused to accept reality.
Xiaoyao said that she didn't want to involve intimate relationships in her life.
If you knew they had such a close connection in real life, you would probably want to break up with him.
Chang Pu was in a complicated mood.
The relationship between bed partners cannot be brought into real life. It is embarrassing and troublesome to have sex with acquaintances.
This relationship should be dissolved.
But the current situation made it impossible for him to make a decision easily.
Chang Pu stood in the corner of the hospital gate, waiting for Zheng Hao to leave before returning to the ward.
Bai Xuqian was leaning against the head of the bed, holding a document in his hand, looking down at it seriously.
Even without seeing the contents, Chang Pu knew what was written in the document.
He was the one who approved it, but he didn't expect it to end up in Bai Xuqian's hands in this way.
Chang Pu felt mixed emotions.
The long silence after entering the room made Bai Xuqian aware of something unusual.
He looked up at the man standing at the door: "Brother Da Diao, why are you so absent-minded? You're back, but your soul is still wandering outside."
"You're still working on documents even though you're sick. You're really hardworking."
Chang Pu walked over, picked up the documents on his lap, and put them on the bedside table.
"Be careful not to dirty my documents."
Bai Xuqian nervously took the document and looked at it carefully, fearing that there were stains on it.
"I haven't used it as a bowl mat yet, what are you afraid of?"
Chang Pu propped up the table top on the hospital bed and placed the lunch box on it.
“This is a document, not waste paper.”
Bai Xuqian wrinkled his nose: "If you dare to use it as a bowl mat, I will..."
"What about you?"
Chang Pu stared into his eyes: "...break up your relationship with me?"
The sudden serious tone in the voice made Bai Xuqian stunned.
He was keenly aware of the abnormality of the man in front of him, who seemed unhappy.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Bai Xuqian stretched out his fingers and gently held the man's fingers hanging by his side.
Before he could fully grasp the slender fingers, the man had already dodged his hand.
The unexpected rejection stunned Bai Xuqian. He looked at the man in front of him blankly and helplessly.
Are you angry?
Why won’t you even let him touch your hand?
Bai Xuqian silently withdrew his hand, picked up the documents on the table, and slowly placed them on the table.
He seemed to be in a dilemma, but he finally made up his mind and said, "I'll be your bowl mat."
He has a lot of facial expressions and his movements look a bit funny.
But Chang Pu couldn't laugh, he only felt a sharp pain in his heart.
Xiaoyao cares about every word he says, considers his emotions, and wants to pamper and coax him.
What about Bai Xuqian?
If you knew his identity, would you still be willing to be nice to him?
"I've given you the documents to use as a bowl mat, why are you still angry?"
Bai Xuqian felt aggrieved: "This is an important document. I will be scolded if it gets dirty."
When Zheng Hao gave him the document, he made it very clear that it had been approved by Chang Pu and asked him to read it carefully.
Before he finished reading it, the document became a tool for him to make the beautiful man smile.
If the devil's assistant knew about this, he wouldn't know how to condemn him.
But he couldn't care less about that now, he wanted to coax his big brother Da Diao more.
"Why would you be willing to use such an important document as a desk mat?"
Chang Pu knew the answer, but he just wanted Bai Xuqian to say it.
Only when he personally confirms that this man cares about him can he feel at ease.
"It's all because of you."
Bai Xuqian looked up at him and said, "I'm just trying to coax you. I've lost my bottom line."
Chang Pu lowered his eyes and stared at the face in front of him.
There was a look of grievance on his face and unconcealable condemnation in his eyes.
Vivid and beautiful,
It touched his heart.
He seems to have fallen...
Bai Xuqian hadn't eaten much all day, and the porridge the man bought was soft and delicious, activating his taste buds that were tortured by illness.
He ate a bowl of porridge and leaned back against the headboard, feeling finally alive.
"I think I'll be discharged tomorrow."
Bai Xuqian really didn't want to be hospitalized as there was still a lot of work waiting for him to deal with.
"I hope you don't commit suicide."
Chang Pu's eyes fell on his phone screen, and he typed a message in the WeChat chat with Zheng Hao: [There's no need to rush the approval process at Qiguang Company. Let's wait until President Bai is discharged from the hospital.]
"I feel much better, I really do!"
Bai Xuqian placed his palm on his forehead and after checking the temperature, his tone became more confident: "My fever has subsided."
"Someone said he was in good health and hadn't been sick in years. But he got sick after just one day in the mountains."
"You are the first in sarcasm."
Bai Xuqian thought of his previous boasts: "It's a good thing I didn't do it with you in the snow. If I had done it..."
"Without 'really if', I won't cooperate even if you agree."
Chang Pu put down his phone and pulled the quilt for him: "You need to lie down and have a good rest. Get well soon."
Bai Xuqian rubbed his body down and sank into the quilt.
His exposed eyes focused on the man beside him: "Brother Da Diao, I think you are a little too good to me, and I can't help but want to cross the line."
Bai Xuqian said that they would only maintain a sexual relationship because he was afraid of being trapped in tenderness and unable to extricate himself.
Nostalgia can easily breed greed,
They are not lovers and should not act like lovers.
"Your illness is my responsibility."
Chang Pu lowered his eyelashes and did not look into Bai Xuqian's eyes.
I used to like looking at the countless stars in his eyes, but now I am afraid that these eyes can see into my heart.
Bai Xuqian reached out from under the quilt and gently hooked the man's fingers that were resting on the edge of the bed.
"Brother Da Diao, can I cross the line just once?"
Reason told Chang Pu that he should take this opportunity to draw a clear line. As long as he gradually distanced himself from Bai Xuqian, stopped contacting him frequently, and stopped having an intimate relationship with him, they would gradually live their own lives as before, without any intersection.
But he couldn't do it.
I think about the words of rejection many times, but when I say them out loud they sound different.
"what you up to?"
Bai Xuqian curled his eyes and smiled faintly: "Can I see you on Friday?"
"Is this considered crossing the line?"
"Actually, it's not just that..." Bai Xuqian pinched his fingers: "You'll know when we meet on Friday."
"Friday..."
Chang Pu tried to recall the itinerary, but his mind was too confused.
The itinerary that I once knew by heart is now a blur in front of my eyes.
"I'm not sure if I'll have time on Friday."
"I'll wait for you at the hotel."
Bai Xuqian's eyes lit up: "You just need to spare a little time."
He is not greedy.
Just a short companionship.
It had been a long time since anyone had accompanied him on that day. He spent year after year alone, and he also wanted someone to give him a brief happiness.
-
Bai Xuqian was discharged from the hospital after three days.
He went to the company without resting at home for a long time. When he entered the office, he asked his assistant to move all the recent documents over.
"Boss Bai, don't worry! Assistant Zheng knows you're sick and said there's no need to rush the approval process."
The assistant replaced the coffee with warm water: "You have just recovered, it is not suitable for you to drink coffee."
Bai Xuqian turned on the computer and confirmed that the document stated that the approval deadline was this Thursday.
Today is already Wednesday.
"The approval deadline is tomorrow, and the documents are not yet complete. Are you sure the Huo family isn't in a hurry?"
The assistant said confidently, "I had the same concerns and specifically called Assistant Chang to verify. He also knew you were ill and said that the approval could be postponed."
Bai Xuqian did not feel at ease, but became even more anxious.
What on earth is the Demon Assistant doing?
When things are out of the ordinary, there must be something fishy.
There must be a problem.
