In the hospital corridor, there was a pungent smell of disinfectant, sometimes light and sometimes heavy, and occasionally there were hurried footsteps in the silence.

The phone on top of the bag suddenly vibrated.

Wen Ran hurriedly took the phone away.

When Yan Wangshu turned his head, he could only see the word “翟”.

The message flashed across his mind.

——Zhai, [If you want, tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock, Xunfeng International Hotel, room number 808]

I guess it's that person.

Yan Wangshu stood up and walked away, with his back to Wen Ran.

Wen Ran held the phone and looked at it for several seconds without answering.

Her account was under supervision, and she knew she couldn't hide the fact that she went to the hospital, but she didn't expect it to happen so soon.

All Right.

What is meant to come will come.

What needs to be faced must be faced.

Wen Ran adjusted his breathing and answered the phone, “Hello.”

Zhai Chengjing's voice was relatively calm, “Why did you go to the hospital?”

“Stomachache.” Wen Ran added, trying to make it sound less serious. “You know, it's just an old problem. It's nothing serious.”

Zhai Chengjing knew Wen Ran too well, so he asked directly, “Do you have irregular eating habits?”

Wen Ran couldn't refute, “Yeah.”

“If you're like this, I can't let you stay in Shanghai any longer.”

“Don't~”

The sound was soft, like the sound of a kitten's paws.

Yan Wangshu frowned and turned slightly. From the corner of his eye, he saw Wen Ran lowering her head obediently, grabbing the hem of her skirt and kneading it helplessly. She nodded on her own when answering.

Very well behaved.

Zhai Chengjing suppressed his emotions and asked, “Is it more serious than before?”

Wen Ran didn't dare to lie. She said that if she hadn't expected it, her senior brother wouldn't believe her. She nodded, “Yes.”

“The medical records need to be sent to me.”

“...Um.”

“Ranran, there won’t be a next time.”

“Um.”

Zhai Chengjing gave a few more instructions, and Wen Ran responded obediently. In the end, he promised that there would not be a next time.

Wen Ran had just hung up the phone when she heard the cold voice of the man next to her.

“You won't call him over?”

Wen Ran responded and tilted his head, “He's not in Shanghai.”

“Okay.” With a sneer, the context sounded like a sarcasm, “So you young people don't call this a boyfriend? Is there a new name?”

Boyfriend?

He misunderstood.

Wen Ran frowned slightly, “This is me...”

didn't say the word “senior brother” and changed it to “brother.”

Wen Ran's subtle, awkward expression did not escape Yan Wangshu's eyes.

Lied again.

Yan Wangshu restrained his expression and prepared to leave.

“No. 381, Wen Ran.” The nurse suddenly called.

Wen Ran learned her lesson this time and stood up slowly, like a staggering little old lady who was about to fall down at any time.

Yan Wangshu raised his hand and gently supported Wen Ran. Before she could react, he had already withdrawn his hand and turned around, “Let's go, we'll see you off to the west.”

Wen Ran, “...”

The doctor in the emergency room was a male doctor in his forties who looked very experienced. There was also a young female doctor sitting on a small stool next to him, who seemed to be an intern.

The doctor asked Wen Ran about his condition, “Is it colic or bloating?”

“colic.”

“Do you feel any burning sensation?”

“have.”

“Have you eaten anything unclean or irritating these past two days?”

“No.”

The doctor doubted this answer and looked at Wen Ran through his glasses, “Are you sure?”

Wen Ran nodded, “The cinnamon rolls I ate were made by me, so there is no problem with hygiene.”

“What did you eat besides cinnamon rolls?”

Wen Ran's voice trembled with pain, “It's gone.”

“No more?” The doctor paused and asked, “Eating cinnamon rolls three times a day?”

“Two meals. I didn't have breakfast.”

The doctor's face immediately turned serious. “It's strange that you don't have stomachache! Did you learn this weight loss method from the Internet?”

“no.”

The doctor was typing away on the keyboard, as if typing in information. “Why do you eat like this? No matter what the reason is, you can't ruin your body like this!”

Wen Ran was scolded and nodded obediently.

The doctor glanced at Yan Wangshu next to him and said, “Family members also have responsibilities. They should show more concern and care for the patient.”

Wen Ran lay on the table, goose bumps all over her body, but it wasn't painful. She explained weakly, “This is my boss.”

“Boss?” The doctor understood immediately, “You've been working overtime until now? You're so busy? You think the labor law doesn't exist? Then the boss is also responsible!”

!!!

Wen Ran glanced at Yan Wangshu, his face was livid.

“No, no.” Wen Ran hurriedly changed the subject and took out a medicine bottle from her bag. “I have an old illness and have been taking this medicine, but it didn't work this time.”

The doctor took it and looked at it, “This is a foreign medicine.”

“Um.”

“Stop it for now. Let's go do a checkup. The family member...” The doctor printed out the bill and changed his tone, “Ask your boss to pay the bill.”

Wen Ran reached out and took the list, “Thank you, doctor.”

The doctor added, “Take your belongings with you.”

He was referring to Wen Ran's bag.

Wen Ran was about to take it when Yan Wangshu stepped forward and helped Wen Ran take it.

The doctor adjusted his glasses and spoke again, “If anything happens to your employees, you can't run away!”

The veins on Yan Wangshu's hand, which was pinching the strap of his bag, were visibly bulging. Then he turned around and walked out.

Wen Ran felt like she was about to explode, so she slowly followed him out with the list in hand, “President Yan, you go first, I can do it myself.”

Yan Wangshu looked back. He should leave. He had been planning to leave anyway.

But her face was so pale.

Yan Wangshu's eyebrows were clearly unhappy, “Can you do it yourself?”

Wen Ran, “...”

It's that pitiful expression again, saying nothing but expressing everything.

Yan Wangshu turned around and said, “Let's go.”

Wen Ran followed two beats late, thinking, why aren't they leaving yet?

Payment is very simple, it is a self-service machine.

When Wen Ran was about to enter the examination room and was worrying about where to put his cell phone, Yan Wangshu reached out to him.

He has big palms, long fingers, obvious joints and clear fingerprints.

One can tell at a glance that the owner of this hand grew up in luxury.

It was only then that Wen Ran realized that someone like Yan Wangshu was accompanying her in an ordinary hospital where she had to do everything herself.

He probably hasn't done anything like this before, has he?

And she was still a person he was not very familiar with.

When you are sick, the virus may erode your heart, making you fragile and more emotional.

So Wen Ran was really grateful to Yan Wangshu at this moment.

She even felt that if it weren't for him, she might have fainted somewhere right now.

Seeing that Wen Ran didn't respond, Yan Wangshu hooked his finger in a gesture.

Wen Ran then put the phone in his hand, said thank you, and entered the examination room.

The door of the examination room closed with a click, and Yan Wangshu lowered his eyes and looked at his hands.

The phone in her hand still carried her body temperature.

Also, when she put the phone down, her nails gently scratched his fingertips.

Itchy.

Numb.

numb?

It turned out that there was an incoming message. The phone vibrated and the screen lit up automatically.

The message pops up.

Zhai, [Take good care of yourself when you are alone outside, and don’t let your family worry.]

A word of advice from a very elder.

Yan Wangshu sat down, and Wen Ran’s words just now flashed through his mind.

——This is my...brother.

After Wen Ran finished the examination and the results came out, the doctor prescribed some medicine and arranged for an infusion.

He also told her, “In your case, you should find time to do a gastroscopy.”

Wen Ran responded “OK”.

After leaving the emergency room, Wen Ran planned to pay the bill, but was stopped by Yan Wangshu, “You go to the ward with the nurse, I'll pay the bill.”

He really seemed like her family member.

Wen Ran was reserved, “I'll do it myself.”

Yan Wangshu said with a straight face, “It is not smart to try to be strong when you don't have the ability.”

It really seems like her family is still lecturing her.

As soon as Wen Ran lay down on the bed, the nurse gave her an IV, adjusted the speed, gave her a few instructions, and left.

When Yan Wangshu came back, Wen Ran put the checklist on the quilt and was taking pictures with one hand.

She only has one hand and her movements are very inconvenient.

Yan Wangshu didn't help her.

Wen Ran sent the checklist to Zhai Chengjing.

Yan Wangshu's eyes slowly moved up from her phone screen, and finally settled on her face, “Wen Ran.”

“ah?”

He glared at her, “Why is your brother's last name Zhai?”

Wen Ran realized later that there was a loophole in her words, and she immediately sounded the alarm and calmly replied, “Cousin.”

After saying this, she raised her eyes softly, with panic in her eyes, but she insisted on looking at him, trying to increase her credibility.

Yan Wangshu narrowed his eyes slightly.

Wen Ran felt that he was being questioned, and said affirmatively, “It's true!”

This seems to be an attempt to cover up something and make it even more obvious!

Yan Wangshu exposed her, “You are too nervous.”

He wanted to peel her off and see what she really looked like.

“I...was afraid you might misunderstand.”

“What's the misunderstanding?”

The more they talked, the further they drifted away. Wen Ran lowered her head, her pale face mostly covered by her hair, and pursed her lips, “Nothing, I was just afraid you wouldn't believe it.”

These words sounded somewhat ambiguous to Yan Wangshu.

After all, what did it matter whether he believed it or not?

Does she care so much about his opinion?

Yan Wangshu stopped thinking in time, with a slight wrinkle between his brows.

Stop for her today.

Promise to take her home.

Force her to come to the hospital.

Accompany her to see a doctor.

Still sitting by her bed.

It is obvious that he is the one who makes all the choices and is in control of everything.

But now, she inexplicably felt that she was the one who was leading people deeper, and then the current situation came about.

No matter from which point of view, it is unreasonable.

Yan Wangshu stood up and walked out, saying, “Take a rest.”

The door of the ward was closed and the room was silent, with only the sound of rain hitting the window.

Wen Ran didn't know whether Yan Wangshu believed what he said.

She was worried for a while, and felt the stomachache gradually subsided. Then she felt sleepy, and she closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep in a short while.

In a daze, Wen Ran felt a slight pulling sensation on the back of his hand.

She opened her eyes and saw a white ceiling and a simple ceiling chandelier.

She turned her head and saw that it was already bright outside and the rain had stopped. The sun shone in, warm and gentle.

It's morning, it's a new day.

The nurse changed the medicine bottle and said, “This is the last one. If you need anything, just ring the bell.”

A middle-aged woman's voice : “Okay.”

Wen Ran looked over and saw that the nurse had already turned around and left with the medicine tray, while an auntie in a light blue uniform was standing next to the bed.

The auntie said in a gentle tone, “Little sister, are you awake?”

“Yeah.” Wen Ran found her throat was choked up as soon as she spoke, so she swallowed her saliva and asked, “Excuse me, who are you?”

“I'm a nurse in the hospital. Your boyfriend left for something, so you asked me to take care of you.”

Boyfriend?

Yan Wangshu?

Wen Ran, “...”

“Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?”

Wen Ran's stomach growled cooperatively.

The nurse opened the insulated food bag, took out the food and put it away, then adjusted the back of the bed for Wen Ran, “Your boyfriend is very considerate.”

Boyfriend again...

These three words are so heartbreaking.

Wen Ran smiled and corrected, “It's not my boyfriend, it's my boss.”

The nurse was a little embarrassed and laughed it off, “Your boss is really thoughtful.”

Yes, a little bit.
