Perhaps it was because her consciousness was not clear, Ling Chuxia’s voice was very low, and her words were spoken very slowly. Her lips gently parted, and yet each word clearly made its way into Shi Che’s ears.
She was calling his name.
When Shi Che first heard it, his entire head went blank, then dizziness washed over him as though someone had hit his head with a giant hammer.
Could Ling Chuxia actually be calling his name? Was she calling his name while unconscious?
When people are unconscious, they most easily reveal their truest emotions. At this moment, with Ling Chuxia calling out his name... could it be because she was missing him, too?
Shi Che couldn’t believe his own ears. Was that an illusion just now? He murmured unconsciously, "Chuxia, what are you saying? Are you calling me? Are you calling Shi Che?" Chapters first released on n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟f͟i͟r͟e͟.net
Unfortunately, after Ling Chuxia called out that sentence, her lips closed and she didn’t speak again. It was as if the moment she called out the name Shi Che had been merely his illusion.
Shi Che’s heart pounded erratically. He was unwilling to give up hope, his dark eyes intently fixed on Ling Chuxia’s red lips, persistently questioning, "Chuxia, were you calling out Shi Che? You are calling me, you are thinking of me, aren’t you? Chuxia..."
His voice became more hoarse as if filled with a pleading tone, and it was unclear whether Ling Chuxia heard his entreaty, but her red lips parted once again.
This time, Shi Che clearly saw Ling Chuxia’s red lips move, and he heard her words distinctly.
Shi Che... it really was Shi Che, his name. Ling Chuxia was calling his name!
In Shi Che’s dark eyes, it was as though fireworks burst forth, and his entire heart trembled violently, his hand lightly but firmly grasping hers, the corners of his lips deeply curving upward.
"Chuxia, you’re not as heartless as you said before, are you? You don’t really not want to see me, do you?"
Shi Che didn’t know how to describe his feelings at the moment; he only felt lighter and lighter, completely untethered.
He bent down, excited to kiss her again, and as his lips covered hers, her red lips slightly parted, uttering a few more words.
Those few words, in the blink of an eye, shattered all of Shi Che’s excitement, hope, and elation.
When Ling Chuxia woke up, it was already bright outside. The sunlight streamed into the hospital room, filling it with warmth. Ling Chuxia gazed blankly at the stark white ceiling, blinking as the events of the previous night replayed like a rewound old movie.
Ling Chuxia was so frightened that she immediately sat up from the bed, the first thing she did was to look down at her clothes.
She was not wearing the clothes from yesterday but was in a loose hospital gown... Why was it a hospital gown? Moreover, was she in a hospital?
Ling Chuxia’s brow furrowed slightly, a trace of confusion flickering in her eyes. However, she didn’t feel anything wrong with her body and let out a breath of relief.
But clearly, she had been taken to a room by President Hong yesterday, so how could she be in a hospital now?
A nurse walked in through the door, and Ling Chuxia looked up at her, immediately asking, "Nurse, can you please tell me why I am in a hospital?"
The nurse replied softly, "Yesterday, you were drugged, and someone brought you here."
As the nurse spoke, she then handed her a note, "This is a note left for you by the gentleman who brought you to the hospital."
