It was already three o'clock in the morning when Sheng Yan received Feng Qing's call. His drowsy mind instantly woke up the moment he heard her somewhat weak voice.
He immediately got out of bed and rushed to Feng Qing's room. "What's wrong? What happened to you?"
"I just tripped and I seem to be bleeding. I can't see clearly. Could you please take me to the hospital?"
Sheng Yan frowned deeply and quickened his steps. "Wait for me. I'll be there right away."
Their rooms weren't far apart. By the third minute of the call, Sheng Yan had already reached Feng Qing's door.
Feng Qing slowly walked to the door and opened it. Sheng Yan immediately saw the blood on half of her face. "Wait here. I'll get you a coat."
The night was deep and the dew was heavy. Feng Qing was wearing thin clothes and bleeding. She was bound to feel colder. Sheng Yan quickly found a coat, then called the front desk to order a car. He then rushed back and draped the coat over her shoulders. Seeing that she had difficulty moving, without asking, Sheng Yan directly picked her up and ran towards the elevator.
After getting in the car, Sheng Yan kept pressing the wound on Feng Qing's face with the towel he had taken from her room to stop the bleeding. "How could you just trip like that? You only thought of calling me after bleeding so much. I really don't know what you were thinking."
Feng Qing's eyes were covered by the towel, so she couldn't see Sheng Yan's expression at all, which allowed Sheng Yan to blame her insincerely.
Feng Qing wasn't surprised by his attitude, but the conclusion he drew wasn't the truth. "I couldn't control the bleeding. I called you as soon as I came to my senses. Do you wish I could just sew the wound up myself?"
"If you had that ability, I wouldn't have to accompany you to the hospital in the middle of the night."
Although Sheng Yan was being stubborn, he was so anxious that he almost cried when Feng Qing was getting stitches. The driver beside him couldn't stand it anymore and complained, "The doctor said she'll be fine after the stitches. Why are you like this? It's not you getting stitches."
"This feeling is scarier than if I were the one getting stitches. You don't understand..." Sheng Yan paused for a moment. After exchanging a glance with the driver, he laughed and said, "Our boss has been pampered since childhood and has no scars on her body. If she gets a scar this time, she might go into a shell."
"If you didn't curse me, I wouldn't be so likely to go into a shell." Feng Qing's voice came from behind the curtain. Sheng Yan trembled and immediately didn't dare to say anything more.
Could it be that Feng Qing's mishap was really because of his curse last night?
But he was just angry last night. Besides, could the meteor shower really be that effective? It had been less than five hours since he made the wish last night...
It didn't have to be that effective...
Moreover, his original intention wasn't to wish for Feng Qing to get hurt.
When Feng Qing came out, there was a piece of gauze on her eyebrow. She still couldn't see clearly and was worried that it would affect her vision, so she had to ask the doctor to arrange an eye examination for her.
Sheng Yan followed her closely, not daring to say a word, which was completely different from when they were in the car on the way here.
Feng Qing quickly noticed this and squinted at Sheng Yan, thinking he was acting strange.
Sheng Yan saw that she could barely open her eyes and felt that his problem was even bigger. He even wanted to tell Feng Qing that it was all because of him that she was like this, but he didn't dare to tell the truth and finally chose to keep it a secret.
After Feng Qing finished the examination, she and Sheng Yan sat on the bench in the hospital corridor waiting for the results. She kept her eyes closed, seemingly resting.
"Why did you call me?" As soon as it got quiet, Sheng Yan started to overthink. Why did she call him instead of Assistant Qi?
Feng Qing tightened the hand hanging on her body. After swallowing uneasily, she slowly said, "Assistant Qi has the habit of turning off his phone at night. As my assistant, you do need to share my burdens at such a time, don't you?"
Sheng Yan didn't say a word. It seemed that he had guessed right. Feng Qing was just like this. She would only think of him when she had no other choice.
She had chosen him as her assistant from so many candidates only because there was no better choice than him. She had chosen him just because he was the best option.
It was the same this time. If Assistant Qi didn't have the habit of turning off his phone at night, this call wouldn't have come to his phone, and it wouldn't be him sitting in the hospital with Feng Qing now.
Feng Qing's hand was covered by the coat, so Sheng Yan naturally didn't see her unusual small movements.
In fact, when Feng Qing fell and hit her eyebrow, at first she was in a daze. It hurt so much that she didn't even react. Then she felt a liquid sliding down her face. She quickly realized it was blood. After finding that her vision wasn't very clear, her first reaction was to call Sheng Yan.
At that moment, when she clearly felt scared, her first reaction was actually to call Sheng Yan.
Although her tone was calm when she called, and she had been very calm from the villa to the hospital and even until now, she was still worried.
Sheng Yan said that she would go into a shell if there was a scar on her face. That was true, but that was the old her. What she was more worried about now was that she hoped this wound wouldn't damage her vision.
When the results came out, the sky was already getting dimly bright. Although Feng Qing had kept her eyes closed, she wasn't asleep. She finally breathed a sigh of relief after getting the results and confirming that her vision wasn't damaged.
Seeing her obviously relaxed state, Sheng Yan was a bit curious. "You seem to be very worried that it would affect your vision."
"I can get plastic surgery if I'm disfigured, but vision damage is irreversible. I can't afford to get hurt like this at this time. If I need a long time to recuperate, Fengxing will be finished." She didn't want the company that her father had worked so hard to build to end up in her hands.
"Fengxing, Fengxing. You talk about Fengxing all the time. You even put the company before yourself now, right?" Sheng Yan didn't like it that at this time, Feng Qing wasn't worried about her own body but about the company.
In his opinion, Fengxing wasn't that important. It wasn't worth sacrificing Feng Qing's health.
Feng Qing, who had been walking slowly, stopped. For convenience, she didn't even open her eyes. She just turned slightly towards Sheng Yan and said, "Yes, Fengxing comes before me. Compared with my father's company, nothing is important, including myself."
So this was what it was like to have someone or something to care about and be vulnerable for?
The once carefree social butterfly, the arrogant Feng Qing who didn't care about anything, could actually be worried about something?
"Why are you so angry? I'm on your side. I'll surely do my best to help you."
"You'd better keep your word."
Since Feng Qing was injured, Sheng Yan had to end the team - building activity early and take her home, leaving Assistant Qi and the colleagues from the marketing department to continue.
On the way back, the two of them sat in silence. The dull atmosphere didn't change until Feng Qing's phone rang.
The ringtone of the phone was unique. It wasn't the default one but a specially set one. The moment Feng Qing heard the ringtone, she smiled and looked very happy.
Maybe because Sheng Yan was still in the car, she didn't answer the call immediately. Instead, she put on her Bluetooth earphones, as if deliberately avoiding Sheng Yan hearing the conversation.
Sheng Yan saw everything and felt very unhappy, especially about the way Feng Qing addressed the person on the other end.
"Hi, honey~"
