B City's First People's Hospital in the evening was bustling again.
"If you know that you're allergic to alcohol, why did you drink?" Yeh Chingwen put his hands on his hips and said angrily, "And you don't usually drink!"
In the clean ward, Ye Xiaoran was lying on the bed with an IV drip. His originally bright and beautiful face was covered with small red bumps, and even his neck was not spared.
The culprit, Jiang Nan, sat upright in the corner like a primary school student. She lowered her head and was as quiet as a dog.
"I forgot."
Ye Xiaoran naturally wouldn't tell him the ins and outs of his allergy. If he said that it was because he ate liqueur chocolate, Yeh Chingwen would definitely ask him a lot of questions, such as why he ate chocolate and why he didn't like chocolate at all.
Yeh Chingwen was very dissatisfied with this answer. "How can you forget something like this?"
He originally went downstairs to get some water, but he happened to see Jiang Nan screaming in panic. When he turned his head, he saw that the person next to her was calm even though his face was covered with red bumps. He even planned to drive himself to the hospital …
Not only was Jiang Nan frantic, but even Yeh Chingwen himself was scared out of his wits. He never thought that Ye Xiaoran would drink and thought that he was seriously ill. He didn't dare to let him go out alone, so he didn't even change out of his pajamas. He stepped on the accelerator in his slippers and sent him to the hospital, only to be told that he was allergic to alcohol.
If he was panicking and anxious before, now he was full of anger. "Let's not talk about how you don't care about your own health. Look at Jiang Nan!"
Jiang Nan, who was suddenly called out, was shocked and looked at him in panic. When their eyes met, Yeh Chingwen said bitterly, "Look at yourself. You've scared the little girl!"
Jiang Nan was speechless.
Ye Xiaoran's gaze went past Yeh Chingwen and landed on Jiang Nan.
The latter hurriedly shook her head, indicating that she wasn't like what Yeh Chingwen said.
She felt so wronged. She was clearly frightened by Qingshen.
"Also," Yeh Chingwen, who was completely unaware of what was going on, continued to lecture him, "You know that this is a critical period. We are in the middle of a competition. If something really happens, you …"
Jiang Nan could not help but say, "Clear The Mind, actually …"
"I know I was wrong," Ye Xiaoran interrupted her and said calmly, "I promise I won't do it again."
Jiang Nan was speechless.
Yeh Chingwen's unfinished reprimand suddenly vanished into thin air.
Wanting to hear Ye Xiaoran admit his mistake personally was as difficult as ascending to the heavens. Not to mention that he was a classic example of someone who rarely made mistakes, even if there was someone who couldn't stand him and spoke up to remind him, he would still be the same person.
"You … I'm not used to your sudden good attitude." Yeh Chingwen scratched his head.
Ye Xiaoran said calmly, "I'm thirsty."
Jiang Nan quickly got up. "I'll go buy it."
Ye Xiaoran said, "Wait."
He stopped her and looked at Yeh Chingwen. His meaning was self-evident.
Yeh Chingwen was speechless. How could he not understand what he meant? "Alright, I'll go buy it. I'll go right now."
He took a deep breath and walked out of the room in his slippers. The door was wide open, and they could clearly hear the conversation in the corridor outside.
Jiang Nan slowly moved to the bedside and said guiltily, "Captain, are you still feeling unwell … It's all my fault …"
Ye Xiaoran was actually still feeling unwell, but he did not want her to worry too much, so he acted as if nothing had happened. "Blame you for what?"
Jiang Nan lowered her head and said honestly, "It's my fault for eating that liqueur chocolate."
Her voice became softer and softer. Gradually, she seemed to have thought of something and blushed.
Ye Xiaoran said, "It's my fault for not being able to control myself."
His tone was calm, but the words that came out of his mouth made Jiang Nan's heart race. "I also forgot that I'm allergic to alcohol."
Jiang Nan was annoyed. "I didn't expect it to be a liqueur chocolate. I …"
Ye Xiaoran said unhurriedly, "It was delicious."
Jiang Nan was speechless.
Jiang Nan was speechless. She knew that Ye Xiaoran did not like sweets, but now that he said it was delicious, then … then it must be what she was thinking.
The more she thought about it, the more embarrassed she became. She was so embarrassed that she did not know where to put her hands and feet.
Ye Xiaoran chuckled. "Embarrassed again?"
Jiang Nan's face was burning. She muttered, "Who told you to keep saying such embarrassing things?"
Was it his fault now?
Ye Xiaoran's eyes were deep as he looked at her with a hint of a smile. Jiang Nan subconsciously took a few steps forward and carefully held his hand that was still connected to the drip.
His hand, which was usually warm and dry, was now cold because of the injection of medicine. Her heart ached and she could not help but use her hand to warm it. "Captain, are you cold?"
Ye Xiaoran said, "It's very warm."
Jiang Nan heaved a sigh of relief. She looked up at the bottle of medicine and silently estimated the time. She was secretly glad that there was no competition tomorrow.
Otherwise, it would have been really difficult for her.
This was the first time she had eaten a gift from a fan. She did not expect that something like this would happen and that she would be traumatized.
Ye Xiaoran seemed to have read her mind. "Don't casually eat things given by fans in the future."
Jiang Nan said, "Huh?"
Ye Xiaoran said, "When you were young, did anyone in your family tell you not to casually eat things given by strangers?"
Jiang Nan said, "Yes …"
Ye Xiaoran said, "So?"
Jiang Nan immediately expressed her sincerity. "I understand. I won't eat them in the future."
Ye Xiaoran was very satisfied.
The ward was silent for a while. Jiang Nan tried to hold it in but could not hold it in any longer. "Captain, you're really jealous."
Ye Xiaoran raised his eyebrows but did not say anything.
Jiang Nan was terrified by his look and quickly added dryly, "It's pretty good. It's pretty good like this."
Ye Xiaoran's thin lips parted slightly and threw out a question that would send her to her death. "How is it good?"
Jiang Nan paused for a moment and made a prompt decision. "It's good that it makes me like you even more!"
...
On the other side, Yeh Chingwen bought two bottles of water from the vending machine. He was not in a hurry to return to the ward after that. Instead, he wandered around the small forest outside.
He knew that the two people in the ward who were clinging to each other probably did not want him to go back so soon.
The forest was dimly lit and the environment was quiet. Because it was already late, he could not see anyone else and it was extremely quiet.
As he walked, he suddenly heard a familiar voice above his head. "Qingwen?"
Yeh Chingwen looked in the direction of the voice and saw the hospital director standing by the window on the second floor with a very serious expression.
...
Ye Xiaoran's drip was quickly completed.
When Yeh Chingwen came in, Jiang Nan was still very happy. "Clear The Mind. I was just about to call you. You can go back now."
Yeh Chingwen nodded reluctantly. Ye Xiaoran noticed that his expression was a little off and frowned slightly.
The three of them left the ward. While waiting for the elevator, Yeh Chingwen's expression finally eased a little. He said to Jiang Nan, "I'll take you back first."
Jiang Nan was confused. "???
Isn't the captain coming with you? "
Yeh Chingwen did not want to talk about it. "He still has something to do."
Jiang Nan opened her eyes wide and looked at Ye Xiaoran in confusion. The latter's expression was as calm as still water, but he did not deny it.
She was also very obedient. Although she was very curious, they did not seem inclined to explain, so she did not ask. "Oh, okay."
After that, Yeh Chingwen went to drive the car over. Ye Xiaoran accompanied Jiang Nan to wait at the door.
The wind was strong at night. Jiang Nan felt uncomfortable in the wind and could not help but shrink her neck. Ye Xiaoran noticed this and pulled her into his arms.
The warm embrace isolated her from the cold outside. Jiang Nan was a little hesitant because they were outside. "Captain... don't..."
It would be terrible if someone took a picture of them again.
Ye Xiaoran did not let go of her. He asked in a low voice, "Aren't you curious about what I have to do?"
Jiang Nan struggled, but when she saw that she could not break free, she gave in. She buried her face in his arms and heard his steady heartbeat. "If you don't want to Clear The Mind, then it must be something important."
She liked to nestle in his arms. She could smell his scent everywhere.
Ye Xiaoran was silent and hugged her even tighter.
Not long after, Yeh Chingwen drove over and honked twice.
Jiang Nan was afraid that Yeh Chingwen would wait for too long, so she wanted to withdraw. However, Ye Xiaoran hugged her very tightly and had no intention of letting go.
She was a little confused. "Captain?"
Ye Xiaoran suppressed the reluctance in his heart and slowly let go of her.
Jiang Nan did not sense anything wrong. She smiled and said, "Then I'll go back first."
Ye Xiaoran: "Okay."
Jiang Nan jogged into the car. Before she left, she rolled down the window and waved at him.
He stood there and watched the car drive away until it was out of sight. Then he turned around and prepared to go back to the ward.
Although Yeh Chingwen did not say anything, he had a vague premonition that something was wrong. When he came in just now, he did not go through the discharge procedures and deliberately took Jiang Nan away...
In fact, there were still people coming and going in the hospital late at night. Ye Xiaoran walked through the crowd at a leisurely pace. He was still the focus of everyone's attention. Everyone who passed by him would subconsciously look at him.
Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks.
