Shen Yuechuan came out of the elevator, and Xiao Yunyun’s ward was ten meters ahead, but he didn’t dare to approach it.
Finally, he didn’t have to find a way to drive Xiao Yunyun away, but he began to worry about whether Xiao Yunyun wanted to see him or not.
It was so… ironic.
The corridor late at night was quiet and long, and the window at the end was shining with cold light. Shen Yuechuan almost stood still in front of the elevator like a statue.
He didn’t know how long he had been in situ until, with a sound of “ding—”, the door of the other elevator slid open, and a man in a white gown rushed out of the elevator.
Shen Yuechuan recognized him as the doctor surnamed Xu, who worked in the cardiac surgery department and had once sent Xiao Yunyun home.
When it came to him, Xiao Yunyun was completely his fan.
Dr. Xu walked to the door of Xiao Yunyun’s ward, raised his hand, and was about to knock on the door when Shen Yuechuan shouted at him, “Stop it.”
Dr. Xu looked back in surprise. When he saw that it was Shen Yuechuan, he was not as surprised as before. He said calmly, “Mr. Shen, why are you still in the hospital at such a late time?”
“That’s what I should ask you.” Shen Yuechuan walked towards Doctor Xu with a cold look on his face. “You also know that it’s so late now. Do you think it’s proper for you to visit Yunyun at such a late time?”
“I admit that it is not proper, but I am very worried about her. I want to know how she is now.” Dr. Xu threw back the question to Shen Yuechuan. “But what about you? Is it proper for you to be here now?”
Shen Yuechuan said coldly, “I am her brother. It’s proper for me.”
“…” Dr. Xu was stunned for a moment. “So Lin Zhixia is your girlfriend. Oh, that’s to say, Yunyun’s current situation can be partly attributed to you.”
“…” For a short while, Shen Yuechuan was speechless.
Just when the two men were silent, there was a “bang” sound coming from Xiao Yunyun’s ward—
The sudden sound broke the eerie silence in the corridor.
Dr. Xu was just about to go in and check what had happened when he felt a gust of wind passing by him. When he came to his senses, Shen Yuechuan had already pushed the door open and entered in a hurry.
It was really strange. This man was obviously so nervous about Xiao Yunyun, but why did he let Lin Zhixia drive her into the current situation instead of helping her?
In the ward—
Xiao Yunyun felt thirsty, so she sat up and wanted to pour some water, ignoring the injury on her right hand. When she picked up the kettle, there was a sudden bone-breaking pain in her hand. She had to let go of the kettle so that it overturned, fell to the ground, and broke into pieces with a “bang”.
She looked at her right hand and was not used to it being feeble. Then she heard the door being pushed open and turned to have a look, only to find that it was Shen Yuechuan.
“What’s going on?”
Shen Yuechuan almost rushed in. He looked at Xiao Yunyun sitting on the bed and then looked at the water stains and glass fragments on the floor by the bedside. He understood and finally slowed his stride.
Seeing him walk in so openly, Xiao Yunyun was angry and asked loudly, “Why are you still here? You…”
“Dr. Xu is outside,” Shen Yuechuan reminded her lightly, “if you want him to know everything, you can speak louder.”
“… ”
Xiao Yunyun was originally angry, but Shen Yuechuan’s words poked a hole in her body, so her anger was instantly vented, and she could only stare at Shen Yuechuan unhappily.
Shen Yuechuan unscrewed the cap of a bottle of mineral water and handed it to Xiao Yunyun with a calm look as if he didn’t notice Xiao Yunyun’s unhappy expression.
Xiao Yunyun was really thirsty, but the kettle was overturned by her, and her right hand was feeble. She seemed to be only able to drink the water handed over by Shen Yuechuan, even if every cell in her body was refusing.
After struggling for a while, Xiao Yunyun finally took it and drank a few mouthfuls of water. After that, she gave the water back to him. He tightened it and put the remaining half bottle of water on the bedside table.
At this time, someone knocked on the door. It was Dr. Xu.
Dr. Xu came in and naturally asked, “Yunyun, how are you feeling now?”
“I’m fine except for being unable to move.” Xiao Yunyun looked at Dr. Xu’s white gown and said, “Are you on the night shift today?”
“Yes,” Dr. Xu said, “I heard what happened to you in the office, so I came here. How could such a smart girl as you do such a stupid thing?”
Xiao Yunyun stuck out her tongue and said, “It was just a spur of the moment. I regret it now, but unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret. Thank you for coming to see me. I will be transferred to another hospital tomorrow.”
Dr. Xu asked in surprise, “Where are you going?”
“Anywhere else.” Xiao Yunyun paused and went on to say, “As long as it’s not here.”
Although he hadn’t got along with Xiao Yunyun for a long time, Dr. Xu knew her well. He understood why she didn’t want to stay in this hospital. When he was about to comfort her, Shen Yuechuan suddenly said, “Doctor Xu, you should go back to the office. Your patients need you more than Yunyun.”
Dr. Xu really could not stay for a long time. He was not angry at being interrupted by Shen Yuechuan and just said with a smile, “Then I will come to see you again tomorrow. You won’t be transferred in the early morning.”
Xiao Yunyun also smiled. “Okay, see you tomorrow.”
After Dr. Xu left, Xiao Yunyun noticed that the atmosphere in the room and Shen Yuechuan’s look were terribly sepulchral.
Xiao Yunyun snorted in her heart and ignored Shen Yuechuan’s frightening look, reminding him, “You can go now.”
Shen Yuechuan asked in a sepulchral tone, “Are you very familiar with the man surnamed Xu?”
“Of course!” Xiao Yunyun looked at Shen Yuechuan strangely, “He and I did…”
Suddenly, Shen Yuechuan’s face seemed to be covered with a thick layer of ice, and his handsome facial features were frighteningly stiff and cold. “What did you do together?”
His every word carried a fireball of fury as if he could ignite this place in the next second.
Xiao Yunyun didn’t know how to react and said blankly, “We did surgeries together. He is the surgeon, and I am his assistant…”
“…” Her reply slightly mollified Shen Yuechuan’s expression. “It’s getting late. Go to sleep.”
Xiao Yunyun was not sleepy at all. She looked at Shen Yuechuan up and down and said, “What did you think I did with Dr. Xu? Sex?”
She’s a girl. How could a girl casually say those few words?
Shen Yuechuan stared at Xiao Yunyun and ordered, “I told you to sleep.”
“I also told you to go out. Why don’t you go?” The more Xiao Yunyun looked at Shen Yuechuan, the more she felt that there was something wrong with him, so she simply said, “Shen Yuechuan, let’s make it clear.”
Shen Yuechuan said, “It’s too late now.”
“It’s really too late,” Xiao Yunyun interrupted Shen Yuechuan, “but it’ll be even later if we don’t make it clear.”
Seeing the unprecedented firmness in her beautiful eyes, Shen Yuechuan was reminded of Xiao Yunyun, who threw caution to the wind as long as there was an answer when she was confessing her love for him.
They confronted each other silently for a moment. In the end, Shen Yuechuan was defeated and compromised.
He asked, “What do you want to know?”
“Why are you unwilling to believe me?” Xiao Yunyun was always obsessed with the issue, and her eyes seemed to be burning with rage. “How much do you love Lin Zhixia that you’re unwilling to believe any part of my words ?”
“… ”
Having played games in the business world for so many years, Shen Yuechuan had always forced others to retreat ceaselessly. This was the first time that he was forced to look directly into a person’s eyes by a girl like Xiao Yunyun.
“It’s not that I don’t believe you,” Shen Yuechuan replied, “I know everything.”
“…” Xiao Yunyun was stunned and looked at Shen Yuechuan in disbelief. “How did that money appear in my account? Lin Zhixia is just an ordinary employee. How could she have the ability to fake a video?”
“The video was a modified one based on the original surveillance video.” Shen Yuechuan said, “The Zhong family helped Lin Zhixia secretly. Also, Lin Zhiqiu is Lin Zhixia’s cousin.”
It occurred to Xiao Yunyun that Zhong Lue had asked someone to kidnap her before, but failed and sent himself into prison.
The Zhong family bore a grudge against her. They knew that Lin Zhixia wanted to frame her, so they supported Lin Zhixia behind her back. In addition, with the help of Lin Zhiqiu, who was an internal employee of the bank, Lin Zhixia successfully faked the video of her depositing money and confirmed that she had pocketed the patient family’s red packet.
Xiao Yunyun had always known that the video was fake. In contrast, she was even more surprised by another thing.
She looked at Shen Yuechuan and said, “So, you’ve known everything all the time.”
Shen Yuechuan admitted it with a “yes.”
In an instant, Xiao Yunyun was irritated, but she couldn’t move. So she could only pick up the pillow behind her and throw it at Shen Yuechuan.
“Bastard! Since you know everything, why don’t you believe me? Why do you protect Lin Zhixia and warn me not to hurt her? Shen Yuechuan, you love her so much, but does she deserve it?”
The pillow was thrown at his face, and Shen Yuechuan allowed himself to be hit. In the end, the white pillow fell on his feet.
Xiao Yunyun was like a small desperate beast. She looked at Shen Yuechuan with red eyes, but she couldn’t cry.
She once saw him as her hope and stubbornly expected that he wouldn’t believe Lin Zhixia’s nonsense because he knew something about her more or less.
However, even though he knew that Lin Zhixia was making up a story, he still believed Lin Zhixia.
“Why? Lin Zhixia doesn’t deserve his trust at all.”
“Shen Yuechuan would rather hurt her than hurt Lin Zhixia?”
The more she thought, the more agitated Xiao Yunyun was.
She regretted it again. She should have agreed with Luo Xiaoxi regarding beating up Shen Yuechuan.
Now she didn’t want Luo Xiaoxi to beat up Shen Yuechuan, but she wanted to do it herself.
Seeing that Xiao Yunyun was almost out of breath, Shen Yuechuan said, “I thought this could make you give up.”
“Sh*t!” Xiao Yunyun cursed, “If you want me to give up, why don’t you use other means? You can date a real nice girl and marry an innocent girl. Then I will choose to leave here and give up on you! But if you are with someone like Lin Zhixia, it will only make me angry. I am not angry at my love for you, but at how bad your taste is to love Lin Zhixia!”
Compared with Xiao Yunyun, Shen Yuechuan was much calmer. He said lightly, “You should submit your application for studying abroad as soon as possible, and then stay in the United States or return to Australia after graduation. Don’t go back to City A again.”
“… ”
He was getting rid of her.
Xiao Yunyun suddenly calmed down and looked at Shen Yuechuan, with her eyes slowly turning redder and redder.
She choked with sobs and asked, “Shen Yuechuan, don’t you really like me? Not even a little?”
