When Duan Shu Xian was a bit late, although the temperature still rose, she did not reach the stage where she had a high fever. At around 10 pm, she finished eating the medicine and went to sleep.
He could not help but fall asleep."Jing Chen, I heard from the Princ.i.p.al that you brought a girl to Royal Hospital to treat a patient. Who is that girl?" Chu Yue"s voice revealed her curiosity.
Xi Jingchen no longer wanted to hide it from his mother. He smiled, "She is Duan Shumin"s cousin, and also a member of the Duan Clan"s younger generation."
Chu Yue could not help but be shocked, "What? "Why are you with Shu Min"s cousin?"
"She works as a librarian at the A-University. We met at school." Xi Jingchen told him the truth.
Chu Yue could not help but let out a sigh, "Tell me, you have a girl you like, that"s her!"
Xi Jingchen answered in a low voice, "Yes, it"s her. Her name is Duan Shu Xian."
"How could there be such a coincidence? She"s also a child of the Duan Clan? " Chu Yue was a little shocked, thinking back to a few days ago when she met her son. Now, the person he liked was the other girl in the Duan Clan.
"Mom, don"t disturb her for now." Xi Jingchen could not help but plead, he was worried that his mother would appear.
Chu Yue comforted her, "Don"t worry! "You decide for yourself that I will not interfere with your plans, nor will I look for this lady without your permission. When the time comes that you want to bring her back to see us, I will see her again with your father!"
Xi Jingchen laughed, "Alright!"
"How is she?" Chu Yue said with concern.
"It"s nothing. It"s just a common high fever. I"m already retreating. I can leave the hospital tomorrow." Xi Jingchen comforted his.
"Alright, then you should take care of your rest as well!" Chu Yue hung up the phone.
Xi Jingchen pushed the door and walked into the ward. He would sleep on the sofa here tonight.
He bent down, placed his palm lightly on her forehead, and felt her temperature. It was low.
When they saw the n.o.ble young master of the Xi Family sitting on the sofa beside them, they knew what position this girl held in their hearts.
This caused them to be extremely careful of Duan Shu Xian, because this girl was most likely going to be in the future! Even the dean had specifically reminded Duan Shu Xian to take good care of her.
Early in the morning, Duan Shu Xian slept soundly, and her body felt much better. Her eyes regained their limpid l.u.s.ter, she turned around and saw the man sleeping on the sofa with his elbow propped up. Her heart ached.
Had he not slept all night? Just living on the sofa?
Just the sound of Duan Shu Xian lifting the quilt startled the man sitting on the sofa opposite her awake. He lifted up his long and thick eyelashes. His bright and enchanting gaze seemed to be filled with energy.
"Did you sleep on the sofa last night?" Duan Shu Xian asked with a pained heart.
Xi Jingchen stood up, walked to the edge of the bed, and stretched out his hand to his forehead.
"There"s no fever. Is there anything wrong with it?" Xi Jingchen asked in a low voice.
Duan Shu Xian shook her head. "No, I"m much better now."
When Xi Jingchen saw her pink and tender face that had just finished sleeping, he couldn"t help but lean over and kiss her on the side.
Before Duan Shu Xian could react, she was kissed. Her large, clear eyes were filled with panic.
"I asked the doctor to come over and check on you. We"ll have breakfast together." After Xi Jingchen finished speaking, he started walking towards the door with his long legs.
Duan Shu Xian stretched out her hand and gently covered the half of her face that had been kissed by him. She felt a burning sensation on her face. To her, any intimacy from him was more of a shock than a surprise.
The doctor immediately came over and asked Duan Shu Xian in a very responsible manner. After confirming that there were no problems, the doctor told her to take the medicine on time and leave the hospital at noon. Duan Shu Xian and Xi Jingchen went upstairs to eat breakfast. After they finished eating breakfast, Duan Shu Xian saw a set of extremely elegant dresses lying on her sickbed. The bright pink clothes were accompanied by a gray checked half-dress.
She looked at the man beside her. "Did you get someone to prepare it?"
Xi Jingchen nodded his head, "Didn"t you want to go to the library?"
Duan Shu Xian was still grateful. "Thank you!"
Duan Shu Xian went to the bathroom and changed it out. Her appearance was very suitable for her figure, but she rarely wore a dress like this. She didn"t expect it to be so pretty.
Xi Jingchen slightly narrowed his eyes, revealing an elegant temperament that was also extremely ladylike.
"It"s pretty good." Xi Jingchen praised.
Duan Shu Xian felt a bit embarra.s.sed as she wrung her hands. "What kind of place is this? Is it good to take a taxi around here?"
Seeing that she was in a hurry to go to school, Xi Jingchen squinted, "I"ll send you there."
"Eh? "There"s no need to trouble yourself." How could Duan Shu Xian take up so much of his precious time?
Xi Jingchen smiled, "I"m very free."
Duan Shu Xian placed the medicine in her backpack. Xi Jingchen suddenly took out a few candies and placed it into her bag, "If it feels bitter, then take it for a while."
A sweet feeling suddenly arose in Duan Shu Xian"s heart as she asked with a smile, "Did you run over to the nurse to get it?"
"Yes." Xi Jingchen laughed.
Duan Shu Xian packed everything into her bag and followed him out. His convoy was already prepared. Duan Shu Xian got into the second car with him. She looked at the time, it was almost one o"clock.
"Don"t worry!" It"s fine to be late. " Xi Jingchen comforted her and respected her at the same time. Otherwise, asking her to leave as he was only a casual greeting.
Sitting together with him, Duan Shu was looking out of the window at the scenery. Her mind was in a state of chaos. It made her head not quite clear.
Xi Jingchen"s gaze landed on her body and then on the outside of the window, as though he was thinking about something. As Duan Shu Xian did not know how to chat with him, she pretended to be asleep with her eyes closed. Just as she fell asleep, her shoulders grabbed a good arm, and in the next second, her face was pressed against the man"s chest.
It made her head sink even deeper.
Duan Shu Xian had no choice but to pretend that she was sleeping. She slightly stiffened her body and leaned against the man"s chest as she slept.
Xi Jingchen knew that she was pretending to be asleep and he didn"t expose her. He only lowered his head from time to time to size up her fluttering long eyelashes. Duan Shu Xian pretended to be asleep all the way to school. Finally, she felt the car stop for a moment and turned in. Duan Shu Xian pretended to wake up and opened her eyes. Sure enough, it was school. She also sat up straight from the man"s embrace, wiping her eyes and moving forward …
"I"ll get off here, thank you."
The bodyguard stopped at the shady side street next to the school. Duan Shu Xian picked up her bag and put it on her back, then said to the man beside her, "I"m going to work, thank you!" Young Master Xi. "
Duan Shu Xian didn"t call him Teacher Xi anymore. On the contrary, she felt that it was more respectful to call him Young Master Xi.
At this time, the man said softly, "When we are alone, you can call me by my name. My name is Xi Jingchen."
Duan Shu Xian was stunned. So his previous name was fake as well! She silently said this in her heart, Xi Jingchen, is very nice to listen to.
She smiled and said, "Goodbye."
Duan Shu Xian got off the car and headed in the direction of the library. She was a dedicated worker, so she was not allowed to be late.
When Duan Shu Xian arrived, Auntie Huang told her that Duan Shumin had come to find her the day before. Duan Shu Xian"s heart suddenly tensed up.
Now that Duan Shumin was mentioned, Duan Shu Xian couldn"t help but become nervous.
In the afternoon, Duan Deming"s phone call came in, he was worried that she was his daughter outside. He had been taking care of his since he was young.
Hearing that she had come to school, Duan Deming heaved a sigh of relief.
After Duan Shu Xian finished her work, she followed her father home. Li Yu also returned early to buy vegetables, and the family of three quietly ate dinner. Duan Shu Xian helped to pack up the dinner, and then she found a reason to return to her room. Sitting in her room, Duan Shu Xian held a cup of warm water and took out her bag. She spread out the medicine, and the bitterness spread out.
