Chapter 648: Chapter 622: Sensitive 1
“I’ll take you home.” Bai Jingqing mustered the strength to stand up and said to Bai Qianqian.
“Second Brother, considering your condition, you better not push yourself. I will take you both home.” Huangfu Ye offered his help, placing his hand on him.
Bai Jingqing nodded, glanced at Bai Qianqian, withdrew his arm, and took the lead to leave.
“Qingxin, I will leave now. Mr. Beiming, I apologize for the inconvenience caused by my brother.” Bai Qianqian curtsied to Beiming Han then followed the two men out.
Once the three left, Gu Qingxin turned to Beiming Han, and asked, “Why didn’t you let Doctor Bai stay? I think his condition doesn’t seem very good.
“What’s the use of him staying? I am not a doctor.” Beiming Han strolled into the kitchen, grabbed a bottle of icy water, unscrewed the cap and took a few sips.
“Ah Han, are you really going to punish Huangfu Ye?”
Upon mention of this, Beiming Han put down the water bottle, his eyes seemingly darkened, “They won’t learn their lesson unless they are punished.”
“Could you lighten the punishment a little?” Gu Qingxin remembered Huangfu Ye mentioning that their punishments would almost cost them half their lives.
“I’ve already been very lenient! The fact that I didn’t double up his punishment shows my exceptional restraint towards him!” Beiming Han didn’t want to discuss the topic any further and planned to take a shower.
“And you’re making him buy ten cellphones?”
“You can keep them and smash them at your leisure.” Beiming Han casually said and walked elegantly into the bathroom.
“Second Brother, are you going back to the hospital? Or home?” Huangfu Ye, who was driving ahead, asked.
“Home.” Bai Jingqing, leaning back in the rear seat, reached out and held Bai Qianqian’s hand.
It was only then that Bai Qianqian realized with alarm that Bai Jingqing was running a scarily high fever. He had been holding her hand earlier, his temperature was high then as well, but his concern for his little brother made her overlook it.
“You’re burning up. You’d better head to the hospital.” Bai Qianqian couldn’t help but say.
Bai Jingqing turned to look at her, his deep gaze fixated on her. Bai Qianqian started feeling uncomfortable under his scrutiny and awkwardly looked away.
Huangfu Ye wisely didn’t persist with the conversation. He knew Bai Jingqing’s character very well; once he had made a decision, it was difficult for him to change his mind.
The car arrived at Bai Jingqing’s apartment complex. Huangfu Ye opened the door for them. Bai Qianqian alighted first. When Bai Jingqing got down, he could not help but wobble slightly.
Bai Qianqian quickly held on to him.
Although worried, Huangfu Ye said to Bai Qianqian, “My big brother has been sick for a while. When you get home, let him take some antipyretics. If the fever persists, don’t forget to call for emergency medical help.”
“Mind your own business!” Bai Jingqing gave him a disdainful glance and strode forward.
“I understand.” Bai Qianqian quietly replied, then hurriedly went to assist him again.
Just as Huangfu Ye was about to leave, Bai Jingqing called back over his shoulder, “Remember to apply medication after you’re done with your punishment.”
“Understood.” Huangfu Ye drove off.
Watching the car leave, Bai Jingqing turned his head, retrieved his hand and walked towards the apartment building on his own.
She quickly followed him. Upon seeing Bai Jingqing staggering a bit, she tried to help him, but Bai Jingqing would definitely retract his arm and refuse her help.
Bai Qianqian watched him staggering helplessly. The only thing she could do was follow behind him, step forward to steady him whenever he swayed.
Once they got into the elevator, Bai Jingqing leaned against the wall. The cold metal seemed to bring him some relief.
