Chapter 527: Why Are You Here?
[Is that Xie Qingci next to her? They’re so close][Xiaxia looks so petite today, both her hands are hanging on Xie Qingci’s arm and still seem more slender than his]
[Our Queen Xia is beautiful even when sick, but she does seem a bit clingy?]
[Having a midnight snack, the hospital nurse said yesterday Xie Qingci kept carrying Xiaxia around, so sweet my blood sugar went up and I couldn’t sleep]
[Ignore any rumors from yesterday, don’t let it affect your mood Xiaxia, take care and get well soon]
[Just imagining it makes me feel so happy I could faint, being carried by Xi Heng for examination after an incident, then carried around in the hospital by Xie Qingci, brings back memories of how I used to drag myself around alone when hospitalized, nearly cried when the doctor asked if I had anyone with me]
[Xie Qingci seems really nice, proves Xiaxia has good judgment, truly an expert in identifying good men]
[Some netizens really have issues, a girl faints and goes to the hospital and they say it’s pregnancy, then when you go to the hospital it’s for mental illness?]
[...]
The needle pierced the skin on the back of Yu Xia’s hand, and she leaned on Xie Qingci to rest her eyes.
At this time Yu Heng’s family of three arrived, and their reaction upon entering was similar to He Ci, stunned by her new style for two seconds.
However, what happened next was different from He Ci.
Yu Heng seemed to see the Yu Xia from many years ago, looking weakly at him while sick, calling "Brother" with a pitiful pout.
Any brother would have softened at this.
He undid his shirt cuffs and habitually checked her forehead temperature.
"No fever, did you feel unwell this morning?"
Yu Xia shook her head and reached out to pull over Yu Yue who came running.
"Why did you bring Yue along?"
"He wanted to see you."
Yu Yue looked at her with a worried face and blew on her hand where the IV was.
"Aunt, why are you sick?"
He spoke with genuine concern, like a little adult.
Yu Xia blinked and said, "Accidentally caught a cold. Have you finished your summer homework?"
"...Can we not talk about that sad thing?"
Yue Ling walked over and patted his head: "He did all his other homework as soon as the holiday started, only the Chinese homework has been dragging on every day, just doesn’t want to write it. You look great today, did Xie Qingci pick the clothes for you?"
Yu Xia nodded, but didn’t reveal his particular preference, only said: "I said to wear purple, and there happened to be only this purple set in the closet."
Yu Heng waved his hand, generously said: "I’ll buy you a dozen purple sets when we return. Anything else you want?"
Perhaps this is the difference between a wealthy brother and a clingy boyfriend, the former softens and just wants to buy her things.
Yu Xia wasn’t shy, asked for a couple of things, then urged them to leave.
There were already three people in the ward accompanying her, Yu Heng had to go to the company, and Yue Ling needed to go for a prenatal check-up, even though Yu Yue wanted to stay, no one could take care of him with Yu Xia already needing care, so he ended up leaving too.
Watching them leave, Xie Qingci hugged the dazed Yu Xia closer, lowered his head and kissed her.
"What’s wrong?"
"Nothing. Just thinking that family is also individual, there’ll always be times when they drift apart."
After saying this, she buried herself into his embrace with a sigh, "Perhaps being sick makes you overthink things. Hmm? What’s that noise outside?"
Suddenly, the corridor got noisy with nurses trying to calm people down.
He Ci went out to have a look, and came back bringing someone with him.
"Heard it was a patient from a luxury ward who attempted suicide by slitting their wrists, someone wanted to rush in for a peek and got stopped outside."
The person forcefully trying to enter had a frantic look with red eyes, and the one barricading the ward was the handsome guy Mei saw yesterday, who kicked the intruder out.
The gossip among the rich kids can be quite entertaining.
Yu Xia exclaimed "Oh" as she looked at the person behind him.
"Wei Yaoyao, why are you here?"
Wei Yaoyao had tucked his curly hair inside a hat and wore a mask, making him barely recognizable.
He set down the fruit he was carrying with his left hand and smiled, "Came to see you, Yu Xia, are you alright?"
"I’m fine," though she still seemed a bit puzzled, "Came specifically to see me?"
"Not quite," he wanted to avoid suspicion, so he shook the other bag of fruit in his right hand, "Just happened to be visiting Song Xi who is also hospitalized here, paying some respects to a former group member."
Yu Xia pretended to have a sudden realization and turned to look at Xie Qingci.
He seemed unaware that Song Xi was also hospitalized here, fortunately no reporter asked about this, or he could have been accused of "having no group camaraderie."
Xie Qingci indeed didn’t know and wasn’t inclined to push himself to care about Song Xi, so he returned the bag of fruit Wei Yaoyao brought.
"Consider it as us visiting him too."
Wei Yaoyao: "...This is not how you re-gift something, is it?"
"But we really have nothing else to send over, just consider it some extra effort on your part, you don’t have to mention us either."
Alright, mentioning us might even slow down Song Xi’s recovery.
So Wei Yaoyao took both bags of fruit.
"Alright, I’ll check on him and come back."
Song Xi’s ward was downstairs, not in the luxury VIP section, and it was a double room with little privacy.
When Wei Yaoyao walked in with the fruit, he saw that Song Xi had drawn the blue medical curtain in the middle to create a separate space from the person in the other bed.
He wasn’t wearing his glasses, looked pale lying on the bed with furrowed brows, a far cry from his usual well-mannered rogue appearance, now seeming more casual and washed-out.
Really did feel a bit sympathetic.
Upon seeing him, Song Xi looked surprised for a moment.
"What brings you here?"
"Came to see if you’re down in the dumps and finished."
Wei Yaoyao set the two bags of fruit on the small side table, took off his mask and hat to fan himself.
"Why stay here? I thought you would’ve paid extra to stay a couple of floors up."
"Not a famous star with a big name, no need," he said with self-deprecating laughter.
Looking at the two bags of fruit, with a neutral tone, he said: "You’ve been to see Yu Xia, haven’t you?"
The news of Yu Xia fainting and being rushed to the hospital by Xi Heng hadn’t cooled down yet, anyone browsing the web could stumble across it.
Wei Yaoyao glanced at his expression: "You know, huh. Initially, the fruit was for Yu Xia, but since they heard you were hospitalized too, they told me to bring it to you as well."
They’re in a luxury ward, having everything they need, happily in a relationship, don’t really need fruit to quench thirst.
He casually peeled a banana and handed it to Song Xi.
"Have some, soothe your lonesome self-pity."
Song Xi gave him a flat look, took the banana, ate half, but due to lack of appetite, left the rest aside.
He hesitated, watching Wei Yaoyao’s leisurely demeanor, couldn’t help but ask: "Is she alright?"
He deliberately lowered his voice when asking, fearing it might have an unfavorable impact if overheard by the adjacent bed.
