Mu Xiaoxiao stared blankly as she walked in. It was the first time that she had seen Lu Yichen so flustered.
What happened to him? Why does he need to get discharged so urgently?
Yin Shaojie walked up to him with his long legs without hesitation, and he said in a harsh tone, “Hey Lu, what are you doing? An injured person should stay in the hospital!”
Seeing that he was here, Lu Yichen’s expression became grave again. He coldly shot a glance at Yin Shaojie and said, “Young Master Yin, I don’t need you to worry about me. I understand my own situation. I’m fine, and I can be discharged.”
Yin Shaojie sneered and said, “Who the hell is worried about you! If you hadn’t saved Xiaoxiao, I wouldn’t even be bothering with you.”
The doctor and the nurse retreated to one side and wiped the sweat off their foreheads.
The situation was bad; the two looked like they were going to start quarreling. It was the first time that she had seen Yin Shaojie and Lu Yichen meet face to face. The enmity was intense, and it was as if they might just blow up at any time.
She quickly stepped forward and pulled back Yin Shaojie. She then lowered her head and said to him angrily, “I told you not to speak in this tone! You’re driving me crazy!”
As she pulled him away, Mu Xiaoxiao took a step forward, looked worriedly at Lu Yichen with her big eyes, and said to him, “Yichen, your hand is severely injured. The doctor said that you shouldn’t move it recklessly for half a month, or it will be hard to recover. Can you stay in the hospital for at least two days? If you have any matters outside, let me help you with it, alright?”
Lu Yichen looked at her eyes very solemnly, but he shook his head and said, “I’m sorry. I can’t stay here, so I need to be discharged. Xiaoxiao, can you help me?”
His tone changed toward the end as he seemed to be pleading with her. Mu Xiaoxiao could not bear it and grew soft-hearted.
“But…” Mu Xiaoxiao looked at his hand worriedly.
She recalled the doctor’s words that if he did not recuperate properly, his hand might not be able to recover to its original state. He wouldn’t be able to do heavy jobs, and he might not be able to even hold up a pen.
Thus, she was gritting her teeth. Even if she did not feel like it, she had to refuse him, and she said, “No, you really can’t be discharged. Yichen, I’m begging you, alright? Just stay here for two days. Just two days, okay?
Lu Yichen continued to insist. “Xiaoxiao, I really need to be dis…”
Before he could finish saying, Yin Shaojie shouted impatiently, “We’re letting you stay, so you just stay here! Enough with the nonsense! You don’t want your hand anymore, do you?”
Lu Yichen endured silently, and he couldn’t help but look at the clock on the wall. It was already ten.
His gaze was riveted at Yin Shaojie, and he said with great emphasis, “My mother is at home waiting for me. If I don’t go back, she will be very worried!”
The ward was in absolute silence.
Mu Xiaoxiao was moved. She looked at Lu Yichen and said anxiously, “What should we do then? You’re in no condition to leave now.”
The tyrannical Yin Shaojie softened his tone, but he still said in a harsh tone, “Can’t you just make a call and tell your mother a white lie? Tell her that you are sleeping over at your friend’s place? It’s so easy!”
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement and said, “Yeah yeah, Just tell her that you are sleeping over at your friend’s place. That is very normal.”
Lu Yichen smiled bitterly. Shaking his head, he sighed and said, “My mother won’t believe me… I’ve never been to a friend’s place to sleepover. If I suddenly told such a lie, do you think she would believe me?
