Chapter 286 - Gentle Embrace
Hearing Ling Xiaorui's words, Lin Sitong could not help but sneer lightly. His eyes looked a little lost, and it was unknown if he was laughing at others or at himself, "So, you two are going to keep hiding it from me, right?"
"Stone, listen to me. It's not what you think …" Ling Xiaorui spoke out from his phone with difficulty.
"Well, that's it. You don't have to say anything more. " Lin Sitong interrupted him and said coldly, "I want to return to A City, remember to come and fetch Pei Qingheng."
With that, Lin Sitong did not wait for Ling Xiaorui's reply and immediately cut off the call.
Thinking about what Ling Xiaorui said on the phone, Lin Sitong's heart felt like it had been pierced by a hole, and the wind blew on it.
She felt like a fool …
Lin Sitong covered his face, and suddenly laughed lowly. In the corridor of the hospital, everyone looked at Lin Sitong curiously, but Lin Sitong acted as if she did not feel anything, the more she laughed, the louder she became, until tears started to roll down his face.
"What about the family member of the patient who just arrived at the emergency room?" A doctor strode out of the emergency room and asked loudly.
Lin Sitong slowly raised her head, and looked at the doctor indifferently: "Doctor, how is he?"
"The patient's family members aren't looking after the patient as well?! The wound on his back was infected again, the infection was very serious! If this goes on, it will cost us our lives. Do you know the seriousness of this matter? " The doctor scolded Lin Sitong.
Lin Sitong tiredly closed her eyes, and said without strength: "Sorry."
The doctor looked at Lin Sitong but did not say anything, and spoke in an exasperated tone: "The patient's condition is very serious, you go and pay the bill first, he needs surgery immediately!"
"Alright." Lin Sitong heard her dazed voice.
The moment he stood up from the chair, Lin Sitong's legs softened and he almost collapsed to the ground.
A person at her side reached out to support her and asked worriedly, "Young miss, are you alright?"
Lin Sitong tiredly shook his head, and softly said "Thank you".
After paying the entrance fee, Lin Sitong stood in front of the emergency room and looked at the busy voices inside. Suddenly, she felt as if her entire person had left the world.
After an unknown amount of time, a familiar voice could be heard from a place not too far away, "Doctor, did you receive a patient today named Pei Qingheng?"
Lin Sitong turned her stiff neck and turned her head to see Ling Xiaorui's face.
However, after a few days, Ling Xiaorui's beautiful face that was more beautiful than a woman also became haggard.
"Pei Qingheng?" The nurse standing opposite Ling Xiaorui could not help but blush a little. She lowered his head to look through the emergency records, found Pei Qingheng's name, and said, "Oh, there's such a patient, he should be performing an operation on operating room 3 right now."
"Which direction is operating room Three in?"
"Go straight ahead. When you leave the door, turn left and you will see." The nurse blushed.
"Okay, thank you!" Ling Xiaorui said in a hurry, then turned and walked towards Lin Sitong.
Lin Sitong was shocked and subconsciously took a step back, hiding in the middle of a group of people at the side.
Fortunately, Ling Xiaorui's attention was completely focused on his body, so he did not notice Lin Sitong's figure.
Seeing Ling Xiaorui's figure disappearing in a hurry, Lin Sitong turned and left.
Lin Sitong had already missed the flight back to A City, so she just bought a bus ticket back to A City. By the time she got back to Gu Zhirou's villa, the sky was already approaching dusk, and's elegant face was filled with fatigue.
"Stone? Why didn't you tell me before you came back so that I could get the driver to pick you up? " Gu Zhirou looked at Lin Sitong who had suddenly appeared, and a look of surprise flashed past her eyes.
Lin Sitong stood in front of Gu Zhirou and looked at her warm and gentle face. She suddenly wanted to ask if the Aunt Gu knew about the matter of Pei Qingheng and Chu Xue welcoming him, but they had also helped him hide it.
"Quickly, quickly, Aunt Wang, go to the kitchen and make some food for young miss." Gu Zhirou turned around and after instructing the Aunt Wang, he turned around and looked at Lin Sitong with a face full of concern, and said with a doting tone, "I've only been gone for a few days, how can I be this thin?"
The question that Lin Sitong wanted to ask spun twice around her mouth, but in the end, she did not voice it.
"Miss, has the bed in your room been cleaned?" Gu Zhirou asked again.
"Alright, alright." Aunt Wang said with a smile, "Madam always reminds us to clean up every day, how can we forget about it!"
Gu Zhirou nodded her head in satisfaction and pulled Lin Sitong's hand to sit on the sofa. Her gentle eyes sized up Lin Sitong and after a while, she frowned: "Are you not used to City S's food? Or was it because the tournament these past few days had been too tiring? Seeing you like this, my heart truly hurts. " After saying that, Gu Zhirou grumbled: "I've already told you this before, what are the arrangements by the leaders of your hospital? How can you arrange for a person who has just recovered from a serious illness to attend any exchange that is so far away? Let's see how tired you are and how thin you are. "No, I must make it up to you!"
"No need …"
Before Lin Sitong could finish rejecting her, Gu Zhirou shouted towards the kitchen door once again, "Aunt Wang, remember to stew some soup for Young Miss to drink tomorrow! The one you just learned... "That what …"
Aunt Wang's cheerful voice came out from the kitchen, "Madam, are you talking about the Citizen's Nourishment Soup?"
"Right, right, that's the one! Tomorrow, we'll also stew a bowl for Miss. "
"Yes, ma'am."
After giving instructions to the Aunt Wang, Gu Zhirou turned around and pulled Lin Sitong's hand as they chattered.
Listening to Gu Zhirou constantly talking to herself in her ear, Lin Sitong's originally cold heart gradually warmed up, as if it was wrapped up by a ball of warmth. From the moment she saw Chu Xue, a layer of warmth gradually floated into her cold and distant eyes.
"..." "These few days, you must not go anywhere. Even if the hospital calls you 100 times, this time, I will definitely not let you go to work …"
Gu Zhirou was still speaking, but the words from her mouth suddenly stopped.
Originally, he did not know why, but Lin Sitong suddenly turned and hugged Gu Zhirou, burying her head deep into Gu Zhirou's neck.
Gu Zhirou's words were cut off by her actions just like that.
A hint of understanding appeared in her gentle eyes, and she gently placed her hand on Lin Sitong's head.
