Huo Sicheng’s voice was deep as he said, “I heard you.”
Gu Qingcheng listened to Huo Sicheng’s still gentle voice, feeling warm inside, and softly spoke, “I’m staying in the hospital waiting for Qi Shaoze to be rescued and wake up before I leave. I didn’t return to the villa during the day because I promised Li Jing to go to Royal Dance, so I’ll go directly there from the hospital. Otherwise, it would take too much time to go back to the villa first and then to Royal Dance.”
Huo Sicheng replied, “Understood, I get it.”
“Okay,” Gu Qingcheng responded, “It’s late, I’ll hang up, you should sleep early too.”
Huo Sicheng replied, “Alright.’
Gu Qingcheng hesitated for a moment before hanging up the phone.
At this moment, Huo Sicheng looked at the phone that Gu Qingcheng had hung up, the bitterness in his eyes fully exposed.
He didn’t understand why Gu Qingcheng chose him and then went to take care of Qi Shaoze.
Was it an unbroken connection?
Or was she deliberately using him to provoke Qi Shaoze, making Qi Shaoze jealous?
In the small room of the Taohua Cup that day, he had personally seen Gu Qingcheng and himself in a loving scene, which made Qi Shaoze twist his face in jealousy and glare at him.
Was she really using him deliberately to anger Qi Shaoze and make him jealous?
He held his forehead, his head aching.
At this moment, Gu Qingcheng in the hospital felt somewhat relieved after the call and looked at the emergency room door, her heart rising again.
She hoped nothing bad would happen to Qi Shaoze.
Time passed, and it was early morning when Qi Shaoze was wheeled out of the emergency room.
Gu Qingcheng, already physically and mentally exhausted, sat in a chair. Seeing the doctors appear, she hurriedly asked, “Is he okay?”
“Don’t worry, he’s fine,” the doctor told Gu Qingcheng. “We’re just waiting for him to wake up now.”
Gu Qingcheng finally felt relieved, “As long as he’s fine, that’s good.”
After Qi Shaoze was settled into the ward, Gu Qingcheng stopped the doctor to ask, “Doctor, he was fine when I visited him before. How could he suddenly vomit blood and need emergency treatment? Did you find out what happened to him during the emergency?”
“We’ve examined Mr. Qi’s body, and he doesn’t have any conditions,” the doctor informed Gu Qingcheng. “It’s strange why his heart almost stopped and he had difficulty breathing. The vomiting of blood is due to severe stomach burns causing nausea and vomiting blood. It’s very odd.”
Gu Qingcheng looked at the doctor with a puzzled expression, her brows furrowed as she looked towards Qi Shaoze.
“Thank you, doctor, I’m okay now.”
After the doctor left, Gu Qingcheng walked to the bedside and looked at Qi Shaoze, who was receiving oxygen and infusion, with an inquisitive look in her eyes.
Finally, she sighed, turned, and walked towards the door.
She had not rested from yesterday until now, already tired in body and mind. She had intended to rest on the sofa in the ward, but the strong smell of disinfectant in the room made her feel stuffy and choose to leave.
Outside the door was a small garden, deserted. She took a deep breath of the fresh morning air and walked to a nearby stone bench to sit down, leaning on the stone table, intending to nap.
After all, she heard the doctor say that Qi Shaoze would not wake up for a while, so she could sleep a bit, and he would probably be awake by the time she needed to hurry to Royal Dance.
At this time, a man in a black suit came to the sleeping Gu Qingcheng’s side, looking at her tired sleeping face as she lay on the table, his phoenix eyes filled with tenderness.
The temperature in the early morning was still very low. He gently took off his suit jacket and gently draped it over her.
Gu Qingcheng, not sleeping soundly, opened her drowsy eyes when she felt warmth on her body. She looked up to see a handsome face with distinct features and narrow, long phoenix eyes filled with tenderness looking at her.
She was startled, her heart pounding.
“Huo Sicheng, you… why are you here?”
Huo Sicheng, wearing a white shirt, his handsome face full of gentle affection, opened his thin lips and spoke softly, “I was worried you’d be tired taking care of Qi Shaoze, so I came to see if there was anything I could help with.” Gu Qingcheng was surprised and then chuckled.
“Just say you’re jealous, no need to beat around the bush about worrying I’m tired. ”
Huo Sicheng, seeing Gu Qingcheng teasingly reveal his jealousy, couldn’t help but look a bit uncomfortable.
“I’m not jealous.”
Gu Qingcheng laughed at Huo Sicheng’s deep voice, “Okay, if you say you’re not jealous, then you’re definitely not.”
‘ Huo Sicheng, seeing Gu Qingcheng stand up to leave, thought she was angry and quickly grabbed her hand, “Don’t go, I admit I came to the hospital because I was jealous.”
Gu Qingcheng, surprised yet not, turned to look at Huo Sicheng, glancing at the hand he was holding and smiling faintly as she clasped his hand in return.
She immediately saw the astonishment in his eyes as she gently spoke, “I knew you were jealous, but me standing up to leave wasn’t because I was angry with you, but to check if Qi Shaoze had woken up.”
Huo Sicheng was surprised by Gu Qingcheng’s reciprocal grip, his nervous expression replaced by gentleness.
“I’ll wait here for you. If he wakes up, I’ll take you to Royal Dance.”
Gu Qingcheng smiled softly, “Okay.”
As Gu Qingcheng released his hand, he also let go of the hand holding hers. “Have you had breakfast yet? I’ll go buy you some.”
“No need,” Gu Qingcheng shook her head and looked at Huo Sicheng, “Would you like to come with me to the ward to see Qi Shaoze?”
‘ Huo Sicheng’s eyes flickered, “No need.”
Gu Qingcheng looked steadily at Huo Sicheng, “Then I’ll go in first.”
Huo Sicheng replied, “Okay.”
Gu Qingcheng walked towards the ward without looking back. She had offered Huo Sicheng to come with her to see Qi Shaoze, not wanting him to overthink.
Since he didn’t want to see Qi Shaoze, she wouldn’t force him.
In the ward, as Gu Qingcheng approached the bedside, Qi Shaoze had just woken up, his eyes full of bloodshot and appearing extremely weak.
“Qi Shaoze, you’re awake.”
When Qi Shaoze heard Gu Qingcheng’s crisp and pleasant voice, he was first stunned and then overjoyed to see Gu Qingcheng’s beautiful face and the concern in her eyes for him.
He called her name hoarsely, “Qingcheng…”
“I’m here,” Gu Qingcheng responded while pressing the call bell, “It’s good you’re awake, the doctor will come to check on you soon.”
“It’s so good you didn’t leave me…” Qi Shaoze’s eyes were full of Gu Qingcheng, “I thought when I woke up, you wouldn’t be by my side.”
Gu Qingcheng didn’t like the intimate words Qi Shaoze was saying, but considering his illness, she didn’t want to argue with him.
“I promised I wouldn’t leave, so I will keep my word,” she told Qi Shaoze. “Now that you’re awake, I have to go take care of my own things.”
Qi Shaoze became anxious upon hearing this, “You’re leaving?”
Gu Qingcheng countered Qi Shaoze, “If I don’t leave, am I supposed to stay in this ward until the New Year?”
Qi Shaoze’s expression was visibly saddened at Gu Qingcheng’s sharp response.
He hoarsely said to Gu Qingcheng, “I didn’t mean anything else, I just woke up, can you stay with me for a while?”
