Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

When Chi Xun woke up, she was in the hospital. Her eyes were half-open and she was lost for a long time before she remembered what happened outside the Su family’s house before she fainted.

She turned her head and saw Ye Qingran sitting beside her.

She wanted to shout, but she realized that she did not even have the strength to open her mouth.

It was already very late at night. Every corner of the hospital was filled with silence. A slight noise could be heard clearly.

Ye Qingran turned her head and saw Chi Xun who had woken up.

She immediately asked, “You’re awake. Are you feeling unwell? I’ll call the doctor over now..”

As she spoke, she directly reached out and pressed the call bell.

Chi Xun moved her lips and then glanced sideways at the cup on the bedside table, indicating that she wanted to drink some water.

Ye Qingran hurriedly poured a cup of warm water and then took a straw and directly put it into her mouth.

After Chi Xun drank the water, the doctor came in.

The doctor gave Chi Xun a simple check-up and said that she was fine. However, her body was already very weak, so it was better to stay in the hospital for a night of observation.

She could be discharged tomorrow depending on the situation.

Chi Xun felt a little uncomfortable lying on the bed. Ye Qingran helped her sit up. “The last time you sent me a message, didn’t you say that your body was getting better and better? It seems that you were lying to me.”

“I’ve made you worry.”

Chi Xun looked at Ye Qingran apologetically. After drinking water, she could make a soft sound, but it was very tiring.

She asked again, “What about him?”

Ye Qingran knew that she wanted to ask Su Yian.

She had clearly fainted, yet she was still thinking about Su Yian.

Ye Qingran really did not know what to say to her. To be honest, she really did not want Chi Xun and Su Yian to be together.

After all, as a vicious supporting female character, no matter if it was her or Chi Xun, as long as they were related to the male protagonist or female protagonist, they were destined to suffer.

It was fine for herself.

But Chi Xun’s health was not good, she really did not want Chi Xun to get involved...

Some time later, the door was pushed open by someone.

Chu Ruoruo carried the takeout bag and walked in quietly. When she saw that Chi Xun had woken up, her eyes lit up and she immediately smiled.

“Sister Xun, you’re awake. It’s really great. Are you hungry? I went to buy porridge. If you’re hungry, you can eat some with us.”

“You guys haven’t eaten?”

Chi Xun blamed herself. “It’s all my fault. I’m fine now, you guys quickly go eat and then return to rest.”

Chu Ruoruo said, “The two of us are trying to lose weight and don’t want to eat dinner. That’s why we ordered Chaoshan porridge. We were afraid that you’d wake up hungry, so we even ordered white porridge for you.”

Chi Xun hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Chu Ruoruo immediately pushed the coffee table over and placed it on top of the ward.

Chi Xun drank a mouthful of rice congee and looked up at Ye Qingran, wanting her to answer her question just now.

Ye Qingran smiled helplessly. “Su Yian just went back not long ago.”

Chi Xun asked, “He was the one who sent me to the hospital.”

Chu Ruoruo replied, “That’s right. When he saw that you fainted, he was so anxious that he turned white. He ran over to hug you and sent you to the hospital as fast as he could. He only left after he made sure that you were fine.”

Ye Qingran said, “Don’t worry. He’s a man, he’ll be fine. You, on the other hand, rest well.”

Chi Xun took a spoon and stirred it in the bowl. She lowered her eyes slightly. Her eyes were very sore. She held back her tears and sniffled. “I thought he would pretend not to see it.”

Chu Ruoruo was surprised. “How is that possible?”

Chi Xun said softly, “After all, he has already said it. Actually, I also know that if a person like me doesn’t have a purpose, who would like a sickly person like me?”

There were many boys who had a good impression of her when they first met her, but there was only one who knew her true situation and still dared to propose marriage to her.

Su Yian.

No matter what Su Yian’s motives were, whether he truly loved her or not.

As long as he treated her well, she was willing to give up her short life for him.

The marriage between the two families was a choice he did not have.

Now that he could choose not to, perhaps he was relieved. Finally, he did not have to endure a woman who was constantly sick, could not yell, could not scold, and could not even speak loudly anymore.

Chu Ruoruo quickly comforted her, “Sister Xun, don’t say that. If I were a man, I would definitely like you and marry you.”

Ye Qingran added, “Su Yian did not reject you previously because he was afraid that you would become a burden to him. On the contrary, he was afraid that you would be hurt because of him. He was afraid that he would not be able to protect you. Under such circumstances, he was not even sure of his own future. That was why he did not dare to promise you. This is a man’s responsibility to the woman he loves.”

Chu Ruoruo nodded repeatedly. “That’s right, that’s right. You didn’t see how worried Brother Ran was when you fainted in his arms. On the way to the hospital, he ran several red lights. When you were in the emergency room and he wasn’t sure if you were alright, he was standing outside and his fingers couldn’t help but tremble.”

As she spoke, she even raised her hand and intentionally shook it to demonstrate.

Ye Qingran was immediately amused by her. “How could he be as exaggerated as you?”

Chi Xun’s face lit up. “That’s right. His hands are usually in his trouser pocket. How could you possibly see it?”

Chu Ruoruo puffed her cheeks and snorted at them. “I’m mainly expressing that Su Yian is really worried about Sister Xun and used a little exaggerated embellishment. How could you guys not let it go?”

“Alright, alright, we got it.” Ye Qingran looked at Chu Ruoruo teasingly and then said to Chi Xun, “Actually, you know best how he treats you.”

Chi Xun could no longer control herself and tears slowly rolled down her cheeks.

Chu Ruoruo was shocked. “Sister Xun, you...”

Chi Xun wiped away her tears and smiled. “Don’t worry, I’m fine. I’m just happy to have you guys. I’m not sad at all with you guys around. Thank you.”

Chu Ruoruo said, “You gave me a scare and suddenly confessed to me. It makes me feel very embarrassed.”

Ye Qingran said, “Hurry up and eat your porridge. After you finish eating, you can have a good sleep. When you wake up tomorrow, the doctor will check you and if there’s nothing else, you’ll be discharged.”

Chu Ruoruo said, “We’ll come and pick you up tomorrow.”

Chi Xun said, “Okay.”

After eating the porridge, Ye Qingran and Chu Ruoruo accompanied Chi Xun for a while.

They only left together after she fell asleep again.

It was very quiet in the hospital. The tall man walked through the empty corridor, gently pushed open the door of the ward, and quietly walked into the ward.

He looked at the person sleeping soundly on the bed with deep affection and placed the insulated food box he had brought on the bedside.

He then placed the fresh flowers in a vase, adding a hint of warmth to the ward that was filled with disinfectant.

“Yian...”

The sleeping person suddenly let out a low cry.

The man was slightly stunned. When he realized that she was calling him in her dreams, the corner of the man’s lips curled up into a faint smile. He reached out his large hand and gently stroked her face...
