Xia Li opened the door of the ward and saw at a glance that the man who was lying weakly on the hospital bed just now was sitting on the hospital bed and sipping porridge from the incubator.
The bright sunshine penetrated into the ward through the blinds and fell lazily on the man on the bed.
The dazzling light silently melted away the coldness that had always been with him.
Upon noticing the movement coming from the door, Xie Yin stopped drinking porridge and casually raised his eyes to look at the door.
Across the air, his eyes met Xia Li's, who was standing at the door holding the doorknob.
Before Xia Li could speak, the man sitting on the bed spoke first:
"What took so long?"
The man's faint questioning tone sounded a little aggrieved if he looked carefully.
Xia Li's heart moved. She walked into the house carrying a hot water bottle and closed the door behind her.
She cleared her throat: "I happened to meet an acquaintance on the road, so I exchanged a few words."
The man lying on the bed raised his eyebrows with interest, with a hint of ridicule in his tone:
"I thought Li Li ran away shyly."
Xia Li paused when he was about to pour the water, but he felt a little embarrassed when he remembered how he had just run away with the hot water bottle.
"What do I have to be ashamed of?" She poured the man a glass of water as if nothing had happened and denied the man's point of view.
"Well, Li Li is not shy."
Xie Yin had a smile on his face, coughed slightly, and slowly raised his head to meet the eyes of the girl standing beside the bed with a smile.
Xia Li pursed her lower lip slightly, and her eyes inadvertently fell on the man's slightly raised thin lips, and he was stunned for a few seconds.
Before she could recover, the man's thin lips parted slightly:
"I'm shy."
A deep and melodious voice brushed past the girl's ears.
Xia Li was confused: "What are you so shy about?"
She really didn't notice that the man in front of her was shy at all.
Xie Yin put the bowl in his hand on the bedside table and said confidently:
"Li Li touched my forehead while I was resting. Shouldn't I be shy?"
"...I..." Xia Li was speechless.
She obviously just wanted to see if his fever had gone down!
Why did it come into his mouth and make it look like she had molested him while he was sleeping!
"I know Li Li is worried about whether my fever has gone down."
The man lying on the bed looked harmless at the moment, but he gave Xia Li the feeling of a wolf wagging its tail invisibly, pulling her step by step into a trap.
But she couldn't see or touch the tail.
You can only let the man do whatever he wants.
In her ears was the man's low-pitched yet alluring voice, like a sudden summer breeze blowing gently by her ears.
"It's just the first time I feel Mrs. Xie's concern for me. Isn't it okay that I'm a little shy?"
Every word fell into Xia Li's ears.
These words seemed to have hooks hidden inside them, and every word that fell gently stirred her heart a little bit.
"what the hell......."
Xia Li muttered quietly.
In order to prevent the man from saying anything else that would arouse people's imagination, she simply turned around and sat on the escort sofa not far away, lowering her head and playing with her mobile phone.
After a while, the ward door was pushed open.
Xia Li subconsciously raised his head to look, only to see Cui Mingyuan in a white coat appearing at the door.
Xia Li was stunned for a moment.
Cui Mingyuan, who was standing at the door, was stunned for a moment when he saw Xia Li clearly.
Immediately, Cui Mingyuan's eyes on Xia Li slowly moved to the man who was still hanging from the water.
"How do you feel?" Cui Mingyuan asked.
"Much better." Xie Yin glanced at the girl sitting on the sofa, raised his hand to check her body temperature, and said calmly, "The fever has gone down."
"Okay, this is..."
Cui Mingyuan nodded, and his eyes once again fell on Xia Li, who was sitting beside him.
Xia Li, who was sitting on the sofa, felt a little guilty for some reason.
Before Xia Li could answer, she heard Xie Yin's voice in the quiet ward.
"My lady."
The low-alcoholic voice ran straight into Xia Li's ears like a blurry and numb electric current, spreading to her limbs.
Xia Li pursed her lower lip slightly, her ears feeling slightly hot.
She raised her eyes and unexpectedly met Xie Yin's smiling eyes that were looking at her.
She didn't know if it was her hallucination, but she always felt that there was a bit of showing off and doting in Xie Yin's eyes.
But as soon as this idea emerged from the bottom of his heart, Xia Li mercilessly denied it.
She felt that she must have spent too much time with Xie Yin these past few days, which caused her to have some misunderstandings about Xie Yin that she shouldn't have.
Cui Mingyuan looked at Xia Li with a little doubt, but the doubt in his eyes was quickly covered up by him perfectly.
Cui Mingyuan raised his lower lip towards Xia Li:
"Then you have to keep an eye on him and don't let him be so busy all day long that he can't even take care of food."
Xia Li nodded obediently.
"I told him before when he was sick," Cui Mingyuan sighed, "but he didn't listen at all and didn't take his body seriously at all..."
Xia Li listened quietly to Cui Mingyuan's complaints, glancing at the man on the hospital bed from time to time.
But Xie Yin on the bed looked at her calmly.
That way, it was as if he didn't care what Cui Mingyuan was talking about.
Catching Xie Yin's casual gaze, Xia Li quietly averted his furtive gaze.
After Cui Mingyuan gave some instructions, he walked to Xie Yin's bed and pulled out the needle inserted in the back of the man's hand before leaving the ward.
Until Cui Mingyuan left completely, Xia Li looked at the man who had gotten out of bed:
"Do you know the doctor just now?"
Xie Yin responded, taking the suit jacket from the side and putting it on calmly:
"I met him before when we were discussing business with the Cui family."
Xie Yin turned his head: "What's wrong?"
"No, it's nothing."
-
After coming out of the hospital, Xie Yin asked Jicheng to take Xia Li back to Tingyuan, while he took a taxi back to the company.
Before Xia Li got in the car, Xie Yin stopped her.
"I'm going on a business trip to Hong Kong City today, so I won't be returning to Tingyuan. When I come back -"
Xie Yin pursed his thin lips and said, "I'm not sure yet."
Xia Li nodded.
She naturally knew that Xie Yin was very busy, but what Cui Mingyuan said just now came to mind, so she whispered:
"Then Mr. Xie, please take good care of yourself and don't forget to eat on time..."
Xia Li said everything he could say in one breath, but he still didn't wait for the man's answer.
She raised her head in confusion, but she ran into the man's deep eyes with a faint smile.
The smile on Xie Yin's lips became a little thicker.
The soft laughter that escaped from the man's throat fell into her ears along with the cool breeze that passed by.
"Okay, listen to Li Li."
The man leaned down slightly, his eyes level with hers.
Looking at the handsome face that suddenly enlarged in front of him, Xia Li's eyelashes trembled uncontrollably.
Xie Yin caught all the girl's little movements in his eyes, and the man's eyes slightly raised:
"Since Li Li cares about me so much, then-"
The warm breath, accompanied by the pleasant scent of ebony, sprayed on Xia Li's face, and she felt as if her whole body was tightly wrapped in the scent of a man.
The deep voice fell into her ears as if it had been ground with sandpaper:
"Do you want Li Li to exercise Mrs. Xie's rights?"
"What, what rights?" Xia Li asked.
The man raised his eyebrows: "Of course it's to supervise whether I eat on time every day."
"certainly."
Without waiting for Xia Li's reaction, the man continued:
"It's not limited to this right. Li Li can use all his rights if he wants. After all-"
While he was talking, the man's deep and smiling gaze was always fixed on hers, and he completely noticed the twitching of her eyelashes.
"Mrs. Xie's position has always been yours."
Xia Li's breathing stagnated.
A blush quickly crept up the sides of her cheeks.
"Huh?" Xie Yin took the girl step by step and pushed her into the trap he had already designed.
"So does Li Li want to supervise me?"
The voice was deliberately lowered and had a grainy texture, but when it fell into Xia Li's ears, it was tainted with an ambiguous aura.
Seeing that the girl didn't answer for a long time, Xie Yin was not in a hurry.
The man still maintained the same posture as before, and the curve of the corner of his mouth became a little wider.
"Okay Li Li?"
He was like a big wolf with a wagging tail, staring eagerly at the little white rabbit in front of him, trying to trick her into his trap and finally eat her in one bite.
"Li Li, I'm afraid I'll get busy and forget about it, so please supervise me, okay?"
As he spoke, Xie Yin quietly got a little closer.
Warm breath sprayed on the girl's cheek.
Xia Li didn't know what was wrong with him, but he actually nodded under the man's low-pitched coaxing.
Seeing the girl nodding, the successful man straightened up:
"Then I'll trouble Li Li."
It wasn't until Xia Li returned to Tingyuan that she realized what she was doing because of her long reflex arc.
In the evening, Xie Yin did not return to Tingyuan.
After returning from the hospital, Xia Li has been drawing in her room, and during this period she received a new manuscript.
Because she has been free recently, she has been doing business on Weibo more frequently than before.
As a result, more and more people came to her to make design drafts, but fortunately it was not yet the time when she was too busy.
In the evening, after Xia Li had dinner, she was about to continue drawing the manuscript, but she received a picture from Xie Yin.
Clicking on the photo sent by the man, it was a very simple airplane meal.
The phone in my hand vibrated twice more.
X: [Please ask Li Li to accept today’s dinner. 】
X: [I took this photo on the plane and sent it to Li Li as soon as I got off the plane. 】
Looking at the message that popped up on his phone, the corners of Xia Li's mouth curled up involuntarily.
For some reason, she had the illusion that her long-distance boyfriend was sharing his daily life with her.
Xia Li suppressed the rising corners of his mouth, selected one of the emoticons he stole from Chu Shishi and sent it.
At this time, Xie Yin had just got into the car that came to pick him up, and he sat in the back seat, a little tired, with his eyes closed to relax.
The phone in his hand vibrated slightly. Xie Yin seemed to have already guessed who sent the message. He slowly opened his eyes and opened his mouth slightly.
He lowered his eyes and looked at the emoticon sent by the girl on the screen. It was a simple drawing of a red panda giving a thumbs up, with the word "awesome" written on the side.
As if coaxing a child.
Xie Yin chuckled helplessly.
He closed his phone, looked out the window at the dark night sky, and murmured to himself in a low voice with joy in his voice:
"childish."
