When Ji Siyue poked her head out again, Qin Chengyao had already walked a long way.
She was startled and quickly followed him.
Finally, Qin Chengyao stopped in front of a room in the distance. He knocked on the door twice, walked in, and didn't come out for the next ten-odd minutes!
Although reason told Ji Siyue that it was not good for either herself or Qin Chengyao to barge in like this, since she had come this far, she thought it would be a waste if she left...
In the end, she still walked over.
There was a layer of glass on the door, through which one could clearly see inside from the outside.
She didn't have the courage to push the door open, so she just stood outside and watched for a while.
The back of the man in the room was indeed Qin Chengyao. He was sitting there. After a while, he passed a peeled apple to the person on the bed.
Ji Siyue shifted her position slightly to see who was lying on the bed.
When she saw, she was so shocked that she covered her mouth.
At the same time, tears welled up in her eyes.
It was actually... her?
Was this the reason why Qin Chengyao came to the hospital?
Suddenly, Ji Siyue felt as if all the strength in her body had been drained away. She felt extremely uncomfortable.
She wanted to leave. She didn't want to stand there, but her feet seemed to be rooted to the ground and she couldn't move!
Suddenly, the person in the room looked towards the door.
I'm going to be discovered! She's going to find me!
Ji Siyue thought almost desperately.
Just at this critical moment, suddenly someone grabbed her from the side.
Ji Siyue leaned against the wall outside the ward. The person protecting her in front was Zhu Zhiyao.
"Did you already know he was coming to the hospital...?"
"Lao Qin told us not to tell you. I wanted to persuade you, but you didn't believe me," Zhu Zhiyao said with a complicated expression.
"Then... why did he come to the hospital?"
"He didn't say, and we don't know!"
Ji Siyue cried helplessly.
Her mind was in a complete mess now.
At this moment, a voice came from inside the room: "Junior, I seem to have seen Siyue at the door."
"She wouldn't know I'm here."
"But I saw her!"
After a brief silence, there came the sound of gentle footsteps from inside the room.
Ji Siyue immediately grabbed Zhu Zhiyao's collar: "Take me away! I can't walk..."
She couldn't let Qin Chengyao find her here! Absolutely not!
If he found out, she would really lose all her dignity!
Seeing that Qin Chengyao's footsteps had reached the door and the doorknob had been turned, Ji Siyue closed her eyes in despair.
Zhu Zhiyao made up his mind and directly carried Ji Siyue and quickly hid in an empty ward next to the second floor!
Qin Chengyao came out, saw nothing, and went back into the ward.
Hearing the movement outside, Ji Siyue finally felt relieved.
But... why did her heart hurt so much?
"How many days has he been doing this?"
"Since the first day Lawyer Liu was hospitalized, he has come here for two hours every day."
"Hehe... so that's how it is."
Ji Siyue had been wondering why Qin Chengyao had suddenly become so busy and seemed to ignore her. So it was because of Liu Xuejiao!
Thinking of how she had cried in his arms today, Ji Siyue wished she could go back in time and slap herself hard, scolding herself for being so weak!
The two had been in a hurry when they came in, so Zhu Zhiyao had directly pressed Ji Siyue against the wall, and they were still in this position.
He was stunned for a moment, then slowly stepped back.
As soon as he stepped back, Ji Siyue grabbed Zhu Zhiyao's collar: "Don't go! I don't want you to see me crying."
It was so embarrassing.
Really too embarrassing. Too shameful!
Zhu Zhiyao was silent for a while, then pulled Ji Siyue's hand away, closed his eyes and turned around. He opened his eyes only after he had turned around.
"Siyue, stop crying."
"Woohoo..." Ji Siyue cried even more loudly.
Zhu Zhiyao clenched his hands tightly, but he didn't know how to comfort Ji Siyue.
Because he didn't have the right.
Afraid that the people in the next room would hear, Ji Siyue even suppressed her cries.
After a while, Zhu Zhiyao said, "Stop crying. At least, don't cry in this place. Tears are the least valuable here."
Yes, which tear in the hospital is valuable?
Hearing this, Ji Siyue wiped her face and said, "Can you lend me your coat? I look... so ugly now."
Zhu Zhiyao turned around and looked at her for a while, then suddenly laughed.
She did look ugly.
There was a red patch on her forehead, and her nose and tears were all mixed up. She looked extremely embarrassed.
"Sure." Zhu Zhiyao directly took off his coat and threw it over Ji Siyue's head.
Ji Siyue put on Zhu Zhiyao's coat, put on the hat, and left the hospital.
Outside, Ji Siyue looked at the three cars parked side by side and thought it was a bit ridiculous.
"I followed Qin Chengyao, and you followed me. What does this count as?"
"The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind?" Zhu Zhiyao said and couldn't help laughing.
"Let's go! Pretend I wasn't here today!" Ji Siyue pretended to be magnanimous as she got into her car and drove away. Zhu Zhiyao followed closely behind.
But...
Could Ji Siyue really pretend she hadn't been there just because she said so?
Once some things were known, there was no turning back!
After returning to the base, Ji Siyue casually walked into a room to sleep.
In the middle of the night, when she was half asleep, she felt as if someone had lain down beside her.
She half-opened her eyes in a daze and saw Qin Chengyao's enlarged face in front of her.
Although she instantly woke up, she still pretended to be half-asleep and reached out to touch Qin Chengyao's face: "Are you back? Is it you who's back?"
"It's me. I'm back," Qin Chengyao held Ji Siyue's hand.
"You're back... Where did you go?"
"I went out for something."
"Your body..." Ji Siyue leaned closer to Qin Chengyao, pretended to sniff carefully twice and said, "You seem to have the smell of the hospital on you. I don't like it!"
"Yes, you don't like it. I know. I should take a shower. Go to sleep. I'm going upstairs to study tactics. There's a competition tomorrow. I have to hurry up."
After saying that, he was about to leave, but Ji Siyue still clung to him. She didn't let go until she couldn't hold on any longer.
"Remember... remember to rest."
"I'll remember everything you said. Don't worry!"
Qin Chengyao left.
But Ji Siyue cried.
You liar. You don't remember at all.
