Hearing the beeping sound of the call being hung up on the phone, Xia Sanghuan was a bit dazed.
Unlike usual, Leng Chuanjin hung up the phone in a hurry this time.
She felt a bit blocked in her heart and subconsciously thought that Second Brother was hiding something from her.
But this wasn't the time to dwell on such things. After learning that the documents had been retrieved and were intact, she let out a sigh of relief and called Professor He.
Before the call was connected, she was still drafting an apology to the professor in her mind.
A deep sense of powerlessness welled up in her heart. She felt that she had been causing trouble to the people around her recently.
Since coming to Yuntan, all sorts of bad things had automatically come her way.
No matter how careful she was, she couldn't escape the fate of misfortunes never coming singly.
At this moment, she even missed her days in Qingshanpo a bit.
In Qingshanpo, the biggest thing she had to face every day was to fill her stomach. She only occasionally had to endure Xia Anying's bullying.
But Xia Anying's tricks were just child's play. It was much better than almost losing her life now.
It took a while for Professor He to answer the phone, but this was normal. Once the professor got into his research, he would forget about everything. Xia Sanghuan was willing to wait.
Finally, just as the call was about to be automatically hung up, Professor He answered the phone.
Before she could say anything, Professor He's anxious voice came through.
"How are you? Is there anything seriously wrong with your body? Are you injured anywhere?"
"I originally wanted to call you, but when that Leng kid sent someone to deliver the documents to me, he told me that you needed to rest and asked me not to call you and bother you."
"I think he just doesn't want me to assign you tasks over the phone. Am I such a hateful old man?"
As he spoke, Professor He got angry and looked quite dissatisfied with Leng Chuanjin.
Hearing what Professor He said, she smiled and comforted him, "Professor, he doesn't know you, but don't I know you?"
"Don't be angry with him."
"By the way, Professor, are the documents okay? Is there any breakthrough in today's research?"
She changed the subject and immediately asked about the thing she was most concerned about.
"Documents? The documents are fine. Not a single piece of paper is missing."
"Instead, it's you. I heard from the eldest young master of the Leng family that you were injured, poisoned, and were in a coma all the way."
Professor He said rather crossly.
"You've become like this, and you still think about that research?"
Caught by the professor for her little thought, Xia Sanghuan wasn't embarrassed at all. She just followed the professor's words and continued,
"Yes, Professor. Now whenever I think about the research progress being stagnant, I can't eat or sleep well."
"Although there's nothing wrong with my body now, I'm not sure if something will go wrong if this situation continues for a long time."
Saying this, she didn't even blush. She seemed to have completely forgotten that she had eaten two big bowls of rice for breakfast.
Obviously, Professor He wasn't taken in by her. After hearing that she was fine, he simply hung up the phone without a second thought.
Xia Sanghuan was left standing there in a hurry.
Not long after, Leng Chuanjin came back with a big bag of snacks.
She was sitting on the hospital bed, looking up some gene - related papers on her phone. Although she wasn't in the research lab, she always carried the passion for research in her heart.
Then her phone was confiscated by Second Brother.
She glared at him angrily while stuffing the snacks he bought for her into her mouth.
"Second Brother, give my phone back to me. I'm so bored here that I'm about to mold."
He took out the remote control from the cabinet, turned on the TV, and then put the remote control beside her.
"Choose whatever you want to watch."
He simply ignored the first half of her words.
Unable to stand the children's cartoons and mind - less idol dramas on TV, she wheedled and pleaded with Leng Chuanjin to give her phone back so that she could continue reading the papers.
However, she didn't expect that he was a hard - headed person. No matter how she threatened or tempted him, he remained unmoved and just stared at the company documents in his hand.
Finally, Xia Sanghuan had no other choice. She simply became a unreasonable rogue like him. With a quick move, she snatched the documents from his hand.
She waved the documents in front of him.
"Who said last night that he would take a day off today?"
"Second Brother, this doesn't look like you're on a day off."
"Since I'm free now, I'll be responsible for supervising you to rest."
As she said this, she stuffed the folder under her pillow.
Then she climbed onto the bed and lay on the pillow.
Leng Chuanjin felt a bit guilty for a moment and didn't know how to react.
Fortunately, these documents didn't need to be dealt with urgently. His main task today was to watch over her.
He had brought these documents out of the company because he would feel anxious when he was idle.
But seeing the little girl in front of him retaliate against him in this way, it didn't seem so bad.
So he simply lay down and closed his eyes.
On the other side, Xia Sanghuan secretly opened her eyes a little and observed the reaction of the person in front of her.
She thought he would be angry and scold her for being naive, but instead, he just took the opportunity to lie down and sleep.
Before long, she heard his breathing gradually become steady.
She got out of bed carefully and tiptoed to his bedside, trying to steal her phone back.
But after searching around, she couldn't find her phone. If she rummaged through the drawers, she would wake him up.
She slumped back to his bedside, hands on her hips, looking at him.
Then she noticed that Second Brother's sleeping posture was not peaceful.
When he first fell asleep, his face could still remain calm.
But it hadn't been long before his eyebrows were tightly knitted together.
Moreover, there were dark circles under his eyes, and his eyelids were a bit swollen if you looked closely.
Remembering how he always smiled calmly in front of her and pretended not to be tired, she felt a bit sad.
Compared with Second Brother, her own efforts seemed so insignificant.
She couldn't help but reach out her hand and put it on his pulse.
Trying not to wake him up, she slowly felt his pulse.
The pulse was obviously a bit chaotic, which meant that his blood pressure had been a bit high recently and there was some stagnant qi in his heart. He needed to rest well and drink some traditional Chinese medicine to clear fire, reduce heat, and lower blood pressure for conditioning.
But looking at his current state, it was estimated that just sleeping simply wouldn't achieve the effect of rest.
Moreover, he might even feel more tired after sleeping because of having too many dreams.
After hesitating for a moment, she tiptoed to the door and planned to ask the nurse for a few silver needles.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw Yun Ye standing guard at the door.
When Yun Ye saw her, he remembered what the eldest young master had told him. He opened his mouth to shout, but she quickly made a gesture to stop him.
She stepped out of the ward and slowly closed the door.
