Chapter 1675 – Implication of his intentions
She was shocked. Her fever had subsided, but all the strength in her body seemed to have been drained away. She was so weak that she had to sit up and lean against the bed to catch her breath. Xi Jingchen was not in his room, she could not help but think, did he have something to do and left? He won't come again tonight, will he?
If he was here, she would feel a lot of pressure. She didn't know why, but she felt her heart tighten.
She could only ask a good friend of hers for help. She could only say that it was an excuse to stay at her home.
"Hm!" Good! "Thank you, Little Snow." Although she was a bit embarrassed, she didn't want to explain too much.
She was twenty-three years old, and she was responsible for everything.
After colluding with Snowy, Duan Shu Xian dialed her mother's number. She directly told Snowy to stay the night and talk about her studies.
On the other end, Li Yu trusted Xiao Xue as expected, because Xiao Xue and her daughter had both been to the same school since high school and university, and had also stayed at home a few times.
"Good!" "I know, we're in her house, so we won't run around." Duan Shu Xian braced herself and said.
At the other end, Li Yu was also busy, "Alright, I will tell your father. Will you be going to school tomorrow morning?"
"Good!" You can take a rest. " Li Yu also knew that ever since his daughter went to work, she hadn't had a good rest.
After Duan Shu Xian hung up the phone, she heaved a sigh of relief. Finally, she could stay in the hospital and have an injection.
At this moment, she heard footsteps coming from outside the door. She looked up and thought it was a nurse, but the man who pushed open the door made her stifled and slightly flabbergasted.
"You … "You didn't leave?" Duan Shu Xian asked directly.
With that, he opened the teacup, which was soaked with medlar, and handed it over, "Drink some, warm your stomach."
"Did you call your family?" Xi Jingchen asked.
"Hm!" Yes, I said I was sleeping at a friend's house, and my mother didn't suspect anything. " As Duan Shu Xian spoke, her face showed a trace of nervousness. She rarely did such things as deceiving her family.
"No." Duan Shu Xian hurriedly shook her head. "I can't tell the truth."
"Why not? Did you commit some great crime when you were with me? " Xi Jingchen laughed.
Duan Shu Xian bit her lips as she looked at this man. She no longer felt that he was as gentle and amiable as he was back in school. Even though he was rather approachable now, there was a sense of saltiness about him that she didn't want to provoke.
"That's not true." Duan Shu Xian answered.
Duan Shu Xian was startled and blinked at him. "We …" We're not together! "
Xi Jingchen's gaze darkened, as he suddenly thought back to his mother's words. The other half of him, needed to have the courage to face the future together with him, because his future was not an ordinary and smooth path.
He wasn't sure if the girl in front of him had the courage to accompany him through his life, or if she was willing to live the same life as him.
Therefore, he didn't dare to force her now.
"Alright, there's no rush. We'll get along as much as you want!" Xi Jingchen pursed his lips and smiled. Seeing that the strands of hair by her ear were hanging next to her red lips, he reached out and gently caressed it for her.
Duan Shu Xian's gaze flickered, she tilted her face and dodged to the side, but Xi Jingchen didn't mind.
"Where do you want dinner? To the restaurant? In the room? " Xi Jingchen asked her.
"I… I'll eat anything I want, in my room! " After Duan Shu Xian finished speaking, she thought of a question. She raised her gaze and asked, "How much does it cost to treat a patient here?"
"Huh?" Duan Shu Xian was startled for a few seconds. 'Could it be that his friend can go to the hospital for free?'
"No, I don't want to take advantage of this. It should be as much as it is." Duan Shu Xian didn't want to owe him too much.
"Leave it to me. If you feel bad about it, just treat me to a meal in the future." Xi Jingchen could only reply.
Duan Shu Xian shook her head. "No, I can't treat you to a meal."
"What is it? You're afraid that I'll eat till I can't even touch you! " Xi Jingchen teased her because she seemed to be worried about something.
Xi Jingchen narrowed his eyes. Indeed, after knowing his identity, it wasn't that easy to get along with her anymore.
"My current identity in the outside world is also an ordinary person. You don't have to worry too much about it."
He had said so, but Duan Shu Xian could not think like this. He did not need to care, she did. His country and his people did.
She did not want to be a sinner for all eternity! What danger it brought him.
Seeing the sun setting outside, Duan Shu Xian had an enchanting scenery. She had slept for most of the day, so she wanted to go out and walk around to relax.
"Alright!" When nurse did physics for her to cool down a moment ago, she had even taken off her undergarments. Right now, she was only wearing her patient clothes.
Xi Jingchen saw that her expression was strange and her face was slightly red, his gaze immediately fell on one spot out of instinct, and seeing the shape she took beneath the soft hospital gown, he immediately turned his face away politely.
"Do you need to change your clothes?"
Duan Shu Xian looked down at her hospital gown and shook her head. "No!"
Duan Shu Xian came out wearing a pair of soft and comfortable shoes. Everything here was so considerate and humane, as if it was even better than serving in a hotel!
Duan Shu Xian walked in the park. Behind this area, there was an artificial pond with lotus flowers. It was extremely beautiful.
Duan Shu Xian breathed in the fresh air. In the recent May weather, the air felt warm and pleasant. Even the wind was warm, blowing on her skin. It was very comfortable.
"Why did you teach!? You shouldn't have gone to a place like this with your status. " Duan Shu Xian couldn't help but worry for him. To her, with Xi Jingchen's identity, she should be properly protected, there shouldn't be any kind of danger.
"Then where do you think I should go? This is my country, can't I walk on my own? " Xi Jingchen asked in response.
"You must be careful." "You are the future hope of our country."
Xi Jingchen smiled, "Don't worry, I will protect myself well." After saying that, he could not help but ask her in a probing manner, "Do you feel afraid when you're with someone like me?"
