Xiao Xiao accompanied the two men in the room for a while but did not return. She sat on the bed and gently touched Qiao Xi's face that had been slapped. She felt a sense of regret.
The eyelashes under her hands suddenly blinked, and she gently called out.
Qiao Xi, who was sleeping, kept hearing Xiao Xiao's voice. How was she? Would Xu Yicheng kill her and silence her? She opened her eyes anxiously.
The lights in the room were bright as she closed her eyes, feeling somewhat uncomfortable. Xiao Xiao watched her wake up in pleasant surprise as she immediately turned off the glaring incandescent light above her head.
"Xi Xi, you're finally awake."
Qiao Xi could clearly see the situation in the room. He knew that he was in a hospital, but he also saw the perfectly fine Xiao Xiao. He could not stop his tears from streaming down his face.
"It's fine now. It's the end of the night."
The scene in her dream was too scary. She thought she was going to be tortured to death by Xu Yicheng.
"Xiao Xiao, quickly help me up."
"No, the doctor said you'd better not move now."
Qiao Xi pursed her lips and asked with difficulty, "Can't I walk on my legs in the future?"
"Of course not, the doctor said that if you treat her well, you will recover soon."
"Really?"
"Of course. How could I lie to you? I'm really fine."
Xiao Xiao wiped away the tears on her face as she looked at her with a crafty and gossipy gaze. "What is your relationship with that tall, handsome and cold man?"
"You're talking about Shen Ye An?"
She remembered hearing his voice when she passed out.
"It should be him. He's so handsome. You don't know how much he hurts to see you being tortured by Xu Yicheng. He'll return it a hundred times over and carry you downstairs to the hospital. He really blew his mind."
Qiao Xi immediately grasped the main point in disbelief. "He hugged me?"
"That's right, hold on carefully. At that time, your entire body was covered in blood. There's no need to mention how scary it was."
Xiao Xiao did not know what she was thinking and was still describing things vividly. Qiao Xi was perplexed. No illness?
"Xi Xi, how do you know him? I think he's much better than Xu Yicheng."
Seeing that she was still daydreaming, Qiao Xi couldn't help but stop her: "It's impossible for him to be me and him. He's Shen Yeyan. Do you know who Shen Yeyan is?"
Xiao Xiao repeated the words as her eyes were filled with innocence, "Who is Shen Yeyan?"
"Search the internet, the wealthiest person in the imperial city, the Shen family. He is the successor."
The moment Qiao Xi's words landed, Xiao Xiao immediately screamed.
"Holy shit, is that so scary? The wealthiest man in the capital? When I met him earlier, did he like my best friend?"
Xiao Xiao's heart could not take it any longer. She thought that Shen Yeyan was just an elite man from the workplace. She never expected him to become the wealthiest man in the imperial city.
This was a height that the commoners would never be able to attempt to reach in their entire lives, let alone have any interactions with each other.
Xiao Xiao had an extremely wonderful expression on her face. Shen Yeyan was the wealthiest, while the big guy was his bro. His background was probably not small, but she had already offended him. Would he be silenced in the middle of the night?
Xiao Xiao lowered her voice and asked, "Do you know who that robust fellow is?"
"You're talking about Gu Yunfan?"
"It could be him. He has a rough face, a fierce face, and he's tall and strong."
"Right, that's him. It seems like he's from the underworld. He's not a good person."
"In my opinion, he doesn't look like a good person either. He looks quite ferocious."
The two within the room were discussing. They had no idea that at this moment, Shen Ye An and Gu Yunfan were standing in front of the ward's door. Gu Yunfan was looking at Shen Ye An with an angry expression.
"Do I look like a good person?"
Shen Yeyan looked at him. It was rare for him to have a smile hanging on the corner of his mouth. "You don't usually look at yourself in the mirror?"
"Bro, I'm afraid our friendship will end here today."
"Don't laugh too much in the future. Don't scare her."
Gu Yunfan rolled his eyes fiercely. Shen Ye An was completely done for.
Only when the sounds of discussion gradually disappeared did Shen Yeyan push open the door and enter. Qiao Xi turned her head and saw his expressionless face, his pants were stained with dried blood. It was clear that he was in a sorry state and the momentum around his body had not diminished at all.
Xiao Xiao previously did not know Shen Yeyan's identity, but now, she subconsciously took a step back and gave them space.
Shen Yeyan strode over to the bed and took a close look at the bottle. There was still half a bottle left.
Qiao Xi pretended to get up. Shen Yeyan said in a deep voice, "Don't move your legs recklessly. Do you want them?"
"Where's Xu Yicheng?"
"If I have the time to care about him, then I might as well care about myself. If I go there a bit later, what would happen to me?"
Qiao Xi pursed her lips when faced with the cold expression of Shen Yeyan. Her dark red lips were torn by her own teeth. At that moment, there was still some blood on them. When he saw this, his heart clenched and his breathing became heavy.
"You're not allowed to bite your lips."
"…"
Qiao Xi's eyes widened as her clear black and white pupils swept over the domineering him. Shen Yeyan did not explain anything and directly pulled over a chair to sit down in front of the bed.
Xiao Xiao tactfully left the room and deliberately called Brother Social.
The two of them were the only ones left in the quiet ward. Qiao Xi licked his lips and suddenly lost his words.
There was also Shen Yeyan. Her gaze swept across her pale face and bandaged legs a few times. Her heart seemed empty.
After a long while, Qiao Xi moved his upper body. "Thank you, Mr. Shen."
"If you really want to thank me, then quickly get better."
"I will. Even so, I can continue to treat you."
When Qiao Xi misunderstood, Shen Yeyan's face turned dark.
"Your treatment has been suspended recently. When you are fully recovered, you will stay home to recuperate. Uncle Liu will arrange for someone to take care of you."
Qiao Xi felt a wave of gratitude in her heart. When she went back like this, it was inevitable that her parents would ask and she would have no way of explaining it.
Shen Ye An saw a smile blossoming on her face. Her empty heart also started to waver. It was an indescribable beauty.
Qiao Xi stayed in the hospital for a few days in a row. During that time, Shen Ye An and Xiao Xiao frequently came to visit her in the hospital. Even Gu Yunfan came by once and sent her flowers and fruit baskets.
Other than them, Xu Yicheng's parents had also come. This was something Qiao Xi had never expected.
Xu's parents, who were doctors before, now retired to their homes. After their son's accident, the couple had not slept soundly and had aged significantly over the past few days.
"Miss Qiao, we came to look for you today because we really don't have any other way and haven't returned from the city yet."
Other than the slight change in their expressions at the beginning, Qiao Xi had already recovered now and leaned calmly on the bed.
"Xu Yicheng and I have indeed been together before, but we broke up not long ago and haven't seen each other for a long time. You've found the wrong person."
Father Xu was on the verge of tears, "We only have him as our child. He has always been a bit strong since he was young, but he had no ill intentions. You must have misunderstood something."
His mother also agreed, "That child's heart is still kind, but he occasionally does things too extreme, not a bad guy. If you guys have any conflicts, just explain them clearly. When you were with Yicheng, he happily told me that he finally found a girlfriend, then something happened between you guys. He was in a bad mood during that period of time, and now that he suddenly disappeared, it's definitely because of the breakup."
She used to be this hospital's doctor, so she had some connections here. After asking around, she found out that when Miss Qiao was sent here, her kneecaps had almost been dug out. She guessed that it was the work of her son, but after that day, he never came back.
"Miss Qiao, I beg of you to help us. As long as he returns, we are willing to do anything."
Mother Qiao suddenly collapsed on the ground, begging for help. Qiao Xi's heart ached, and the door of the ward was opened.
