Yang Sheng stopped at the door and did not enter, he made a hand gesture to signal the two black bodyguards behind him, and the duo stood on both sides of the door knowingly.
‘It turns out that Master Qi left suddenly just now because of this Miss Dongfang.’
When he came to think of it, Yang Sheng took a breath and thought about whether he should reorganize all the information about Miss Dongfang.
He merely wanted to find out who was the player of the in-game character “Swift Snowy” in the beginning, so he had only dug into her general information. If Dongfang Liuyun could really become friends with Master Qi, or even develop a more intimate relationship, then he must investigate the circ.u.mstances clearly.
Yang Sheng felt relieved with this idea in his mind. After hesitating for a long time, he was thinking about turning around and walking in, but at this second, there was the sound of the door opening. Taken aback, he raised his gaze at once and Qi Lei’s calm and handsome face came into view. No expression could be seen except a pair of gloomy pupils that were full of depression.
“Master Qi…is Miss Dongfang okay?” Yang Sheng lowered his voice as he craned his neck to look into the ward. He saw Dongfang Liuyun lying on the hospital bed, devoid of any response.
“Her condition doesn’t look very good. How are the procedures?” Qi Lei’s calm voice pierced through the air, and he sat down on the bench at the side as he asked while Yang Sheng handed him the briefcase in his hand.
“It’s done, and Miss Dongfang…she…”
“It’s gastritis and some illnesses from the past. You can go already if you’ve done everything, but come earlier tomorrow, and bring some porridge over,” Qi Lei responded faintly while grabbing the briefcase from Yang Sheng.
“Great, Master Qi, but it’s very late already. You should also go home. I’ve gotten the hospital to a.s.sign two nurses here. You haven’t even eaten your dinner yet, and these few days have been hectic. I’m worried that your body will be overwhelmed.”
“It’s okay, you should go.”
“Master Qi…” With not much else to say, Yang Sheng left the hospital, but he went downstairs and brought some supper up to Qi Lei before going back.
…
Dongfang Liuyun could only feel that she was struggling in that long and somber dream again while dark mist covered the whole world. Everything in front of her seemed gloomy and she could not see anything. The only thing that she could feel was the faint warmth in the palm of her hand, and all she could do was hold on tighter to that sensation.
Her name, Dongfang Liuyun, meant flowing clouds that moved with the wind and scattered with the rain, so what was there to hold on to?
It seemed that such a message was being conveyed in the depths of her mind. That was why she released her grip subconsciously, so her hand that was clasping Qi Lei’s wrist suddenly let go and retracted. Qi Lei looked down only to realize that his wrist was bruised from all the squeezing.
At this moment, he suddenly discovered that the feeling of loneliness emitted by this person in the hospital bed was so vivid, and it made him think of himself, who always lay wide awake in bed at midnight. Was this not the same feeling?
“You only made it sound simple. I’m afraid that while you were encouraging me, you were also motivating yourself, huh?” he said with a sigh. He then leaned forward, put her arm under the blanket, and sat down on a chair beside her. After that, he took a few doc.u.ments out of his briefcase and started going through them.
…
The night seemed to have become shorter. The morning breeze was blowing gently while the dim light of the dawn was getting brighter and brighter while its rays, which had a hint of warmth, beamed diagonally into the quiet ward. Dongfang Liuyun finally woke up from the sedation and opened her eyes in a daze.
“Miss Dongfang, you’re awake!” As she was about to sit up, a familiar voice came from the side of the bed.
Dongfang Liuyun lifted her head and what caught her eyes was Yang Sheng’s face, beaming with joy.
“Thank G.o.d, you’ve finally woken up. That’s great!”
“Why am I here?” Dongfang Liuyun carefully shifted her stiff body and took a good glance at the ward. She quickly came to the conclusion that she should be in the hospital at the moment. Then, she thought about it, and every scene from yesterday came into her mind.
She remembered that she had driven home directly after separating from Lan Xiu, but when she was near the intersection of the Grand Summer Bay Expressway, suddenly…
Did she not call Lan Xiu?
How did Qi Lei appear?
…
“You fell ill, and it was Master Qi who sent you to the hospital. He was here the whole night and just left in the morning to go straight to the company because there’s an important meeting at the office this morning. But he told me to wait here for you to wake up. You should drink a gla.s.s of warm water to warm up your stomach, The porridge that I brought over is still warm. Here, I shall pour you some. The doctor said that your condition isn’t very ideal and you need more rest. You’ll be hospitalized temporarily for them to monitor your condition, and you’ll be discharged after you’ve stabilized,” Yang Sheng said while turning around and pouring a gla.s.s of warm water for Dongfang Liuyun.
Dongfang Liuyun had already sat up against the headboard of the bed. Her eyes were looking around aimlessly, trying to capture and organize every piece of information that she had when she was unconscious yesterday.
However, she was a little surprised. Did Qi Lei really stay here all night?
A lot of information was intertwining in her mind, and her pale face became a little bleak.
“Thank you.” After accepting the gla.s.s that Yang Sheng handed over, Dongfang Liuyun thanked him in her hoa.r.s.e voice. She then lowered her head and took a few sips.
“You’re welcome, Miss Dongfang. Are you feeling better? Oh yeah, there’s the medicine. You have to remember to take it!” Yang Sheng was a little diligent and solicitous as he did have some feelings for Dongfang Liuyun deep down. In fact, t would be perfect if…if…if…
As he was saying that, he handed the packet of medicine that the doctor had given to Dongfang Liuyun.
Dongfang Liuyun nodded her head gratefully as she grabbed the medicine packet weakly, opened it, and took the pills silently. She then opened the blanket and got out of bed…
“What are you doing, Miss Dongfang? You can’t get out of bed and walk around…” Yang Sheng was shocked when he saw that, so he approached her immediately.
“I’m fine. I’m feeling quite good, so there’s no need for hospitalization. Please thank him on my behalf. I shall go home first.” As Dongfang Liuyun spoke, she endured the weakness in her feeble body and staggered towards the door of the ward.
She could not let the news of her hospitalization reach the interested party. Furthermore, she had always hated the hospital, thus she must leave this place as soon as possible.
“Go home? No, Miss Dongfang, you’re in no condition to do that. The doctor said you need to be hospitalized for further monitoring. Plus, you shouldn’t be working…Miss Dongfang…”
Regardless of what Yang Sheng said from behind, Dongfang Liuyun had already stumbled out of the door. With her large white blouse, gray cropped trousers, and her long messy hair, everything made her look extremely haggard and fragile. Despite that seeming the case, her slender figure looked extremely determined.
