Chapter 257: Chapter 257: Clearly Thinking About a Man
Su Zixi played the game for Shen Yushan but was somewhat distracted.
From the corner of her eye, she occasionally glanced outside the window where she could still see the edge of the man’s coat.
After a while, that piece of fabric vanished, followed by the sound of light footsteps.
It seemed he had finally gone back.
Only then did Su Zixi quietly breathe a sigh of relief.
“Zhixi, what are you doing! Focus!” Shen Yushan tugged at her anxiously.
Luckily, she was so absorbed in the game that she hadn’t noticed Su Zixi’s unusual behavior.
“Mhmm!” Su Zixi quickly responded, forcing herself to concentrate on the game.
But…as she played, her thoughts still involuntarily wandered off.
He was still angry with her before he left, so why did he suddenly show up…
What had he originally planned to say to her?
Her lips still burned with pain… remembering his passion and urgency, Su Zixi felt that whatever he wanted to say, it must be good news.
She couldn’t help but look forward to it, with a slight smile curling up the corners of her mouth.
“Zhixi!” Shen Yushan reminded her again, “Where on earth has your soul flown off to?”
“No… I was just thinking about work,” she explained with an awkward smile.
Shen Yushan stared at her: “I think you are clearly thinking about a man!”
Su Zixi’s cheeks warmed slightly, and she was left speechless…
Shen Yushan’s wound was healing very well, and aside from a bout of crying out when the anesthetic had just worn off in the morning, her spirits had been quite high.
As the bedside companion, Su Zixi also had it easy, getting a good night’s sleep until dawn.
After getting up, washing up, getting dressed, and having breakfast with Shen Yushan, she was ready to leave.
“You don’t have to come tonight; I should be able to walk around by then,” Shen Yushan said cheerfully, “And with such good conditions here, and the nurses being so patient, there’s no need to worry!”
“Alright then, call me if you need anything,” Su Zixi made no fuss, “Gao Changsheng will be coming in a while. As your ordinary friend, he has already spent the whole day with you yesterday and will continue to do so tirelessly today, so don’t fight with him.”
Shen Yushan snorted disdainfully.
Su Zixi laughed, waved goodbye to her, and turned to leave the hospital room.
Su Zixi took out her phone and sent a message to He Jingyao.
Soon she received his reply: “Come to the underground car park.”
Su Zixi pursed her lips into a smile and quickly headed to the car park.
Being early, the car park was very empty, and Su Zixi soon spotted his motorcade and that familiar SUV.
And there was He Jingyao, leaning against the side of the car.
He was dressed in a black overcoat, looking tall and straight, his dark eyebrows and eyes seemingly shaded with the cool warmth of early autumn, yet they prompted a surge of warmth from deep within her.
Su Zixi jogged up to him.
He Jingyao smiled faintly and opened his arms.
Su Zixi immediately hugged his waist obediently, “You came so early.”
The man placed a kiss on the top of her head: “After nine, it gets crowded, and it’s troublesome.”
Su Zixi laughed lightly and looked up at him, meeting his deep gaze.
He… seemed different somehow. Su Zixi suddenly had that feeling.
Although she didn’t know why yet.
“Jingyao, why did you suddenly come to see me last night?” She recalled last night’s events and couldn’t help asking.
The man looked deeply into her eyes and caught her wrist: “Get in the car first.”
