Su Yaya just remembered that she still haven’t head back from Chen Xiuqi yet, so she quickly told Zhou Peiyun, “Sis Zhou, I’m hanging up first.”
“Why? I’m not done yet…”
“I have to call President Chen.”
After saying that, Su Yaya hung up. Then, she looked for Chen Xiuqi’s number and dialed it. But who knew that what greeted her was the cold monotone voice of a woman instead. “Sorry, the number you have dialed is powered off…”
Powered off?
Su Yaya looked at her phone and dialed it again. She still got the same message.
Where did he go off to? Why was his phone turned off as well? Then how was she going to thank him?
With the call unable to go through, Su Yaya felt a little depressed.
Forget it, he was the one who shut off his phone. She couldn’t be blamed for being unable to reach him. She can just thank him later.
Fortunately, Su Yaya wasn’t too easily bothered. She was very open-minded. If she can’t contact Chen Xiuqi now, then it’s the same to contact him later. So, she put this matter to the side for now.
Duan Xiaoyu returned with the things Su Yaya needed just to see that Su Yaya had already fallen asleep in her bed.
The infusion needle was still sticking out of Su Yaya’s hand, while the IV bag was just about empty. Duan Xiaoyu looked at her for a moment and sat beside her, waiting for the IV bag to empty completely before ringing the bell on the wall. Very quickly, a nurse came over to pull out Su Yaya’s needle.
Maybe she was too tired, but Su Yaya slept very deeply. She didn’t even realize that the nurse had taken the needle out for her. She had her eyes closed the whole time, sleeping soundly.
Duan Xiaoyu couldn’t feel at rest, nor did she dare to be as careless as before. She stayed in the room the whole time, watching over her on the chair beside the bed.
Su Yaya had a very good sleep. She even dreamt that she was eating roast duck. The crisp, golden skin of the duck wrapped in a layer of flatbread and dipped in sauce, it was truly delicious. In one go, she ate the entire roast duck by herself.
Then, at the very last bite, Su Yaya finally woke up from hunger.
She rubbed her belly. So hungry!
“Xiaoyu.”
Duan Xiaoyu nearly fell asleep on the chair when she suddenly heard Su Yaya call out to her. She instantly woke up and looked toward her. “You’re awake! Do you feel any better, Sis Yaya?”
Su Yaya nodded her head. “I feel much better. I’m just a bit hungry.”
Duan Xiaoyu responded, “I bought some instant noodles when I came back earlier. Do you want some?”
It had been a long time since Su Yaya had last eaten instant noodles, and she really did miss the taste quite a bit. So, she said, “Sure. Help me make a bowl.”
Duan Xiaoyu had also gotten a little hungry. She just happened to have bought two instant noodle bowls so she made both of them.
The noodles smelled very fragrant. Both of them were feeling hungry as they stared at the bowls, but they’ll be ready in three minutes.
At this moment, a loud noise could be heard from the corridor. The sound of footsteps did not stop until it reached the door of the ward. Su Yaya and Duan Xiaoyu both looked toward the door and saw someone entering. It was the tall Chen Xiuqi entering from outside.
The moment Su Yaya saw him, her beautiful eyes widened and she said in surprise, “Why are you here?”
Chen Xiuqi walked straight towards her and gave her head a gentle rub with his wide palm. He gazed down at her and spoke in a gentle voice, “You’re sick? Does your stomach still hurt? Does it still feel bad?”
The author has something to say: President Chen rushed over overnight! Not bad, not bad!
