Chapter 556: Chapter 556: If You Cry, I Won’t Laugh at You
"Yan Shao?"
A reporter recognized Yan Yichen, asked in shock, "Why are you here?"
Yan Yichen often dealt with reporters and responded with a slight smile, "I came to visit Ji Yebai, and noticed you guys were hassling my friend. What do you say, shouldn’t I come and play the hero?"
The reporters were embarrassed, so Yan Shao knew this girl!
Suddenly, Ning Xixi felt dizzy and her body shook violently.
Yan Yichen noticed something off and quickly held her tight, whispering, "Are you okay?"
"Hmm..."
Ning Xixi pinched her palm, and her vision finally cleared.
"I’m fine..."
"Yan Shao, how is Master Ji doing?!" the reporters eagerly pressed Yan Yichen.
If they could scoop some critical news, that would be sensational!
Yan Yichen chuckled softly, his brown eyes glinting, and magically pulled out a deck of playing cards.
"I’m here today to play cards with Ji Yebai. Look, with my friend here, we three can even play Fight the Landlord!"
He spoke with an easy, pleasant demeanor.
Reporters caught the lead, "Does that mean Master Ji is out of danger now?"
Yan Yichen smiled without answering, tugged on Ning Xixi’s sleeve, and Ning Xixi immediately understood, forcing herself to wear a bright smile.
Regardless of Ji Yebai’s actual condition, both she and Yan Yichen had to act like nothing was wrong in front of these reporters.
Otherwise, Ji’s corporation stocks might be affected.
Yan Yichen, with one arm around her, used the other to shield her from reporters as he escorted her into the hospital.
The reporters were blocked outside again.
Ning Xixi sighed in relief and thanked Yan Yichen, "Thank you for helping me out."
"You’re welcome. It’s my duty."
"Do you know which ward Ji Yebai is in?"
"1106."
Ning Xixi hastened towards the elevator, but stumbled slightly as dizziness struck again, and if not for Yan Yichen’s timely support, she might have fallen!
"Before you worry about him, let’s get you checked out first!" Yan Yichen insisted and took her to the emergency room.
The doctor’s diagnosis was quick: malnutrition and physical weakness from not eating for an extended period.
Yan Yichen asked a nurse to buy some food, while scolding Ning Xixi, "You’re ruining your health over Ji Yebai, wouldn’t he feel heartbroken once he wakes up?"
Ning Xixi looked down at her fingers, unsure of how to explain herself.
"Ji Yebai hasn’t woken up yet?"
"He’s undergoing surgery; you going up there would only cause chaos."
"I see..."
She didn’t cry or insist on seeing Ji Yebai, which surprised Yan Yichen quite a bit, making him take a longer look at her.
Her delicate face was sickly pale, her eyes red as the white rabbit he had kept as a child, small and huddled in that spot, appearing so docile it was heart-wrenching.
"Don’t worry, he will be fine," Yan Yichen said, patting her head. The two sat in silence for a while until the nurse returned with the food, and Yan Yichen then led Ning Xixi to the hospital’s small garden.
"Eat something, here, and drink this glucose too."
Ning Xixi obediently did as instructed.
After finishing the meal and medicine, she tilted her face up, muttering count to herself.
Yan Yichen heard her counting the floors.
When she reached 11, she stopped, staring blankly at that floor, as if she could see Ji Yebai just by looking.
"Why don’t you cry? I won’t laugh at you if you do." His voice was clear, carrying a gentleness that even Yan Yichen himself hadn’t realized.
