Chapter 972: Chapter 954: Late at Night, Ye Xi Wakes Up!
In the late night room, Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng were still chatting.
In this space shared by only the two of them, they occasionally talked, occasionally kissed, lying together in bed, showing all the signs of people in love.
This afternoon, they built a snow house together and Huo Feng had already completed the editing, adding text and music, and posted it on his TikTok.
It had been just over half an hour since it was posted, and the likes had already exceeded ten thousand!
The fluctuation of big data once again proved the influence of Huo Feng, a social media influencer with a million followers...
He shared the edited video with Pu Sangzhi to watch...
Therefore, the afternoon activity of building a snow house with cold hands and feet, seemed warm and cozy in every frame of the edited short video.
Pu Sangzhi watched this edited video, her lips lightly curving upwards, her obsidian-like eyes shining brightly, seemingly moved by these scenes.
She asked Huo Feng, "How many places have we traveled together?"
Huo Feng didn’t respond immediately, after thinking for a while, he smiled and replied, "Not much. Most of the time it’s just a group travel, just the two of us traveling is rare. You see, climbing mountains to watch the sunrise was with a group, going to Hangzhou, it was four people, and we didn’t fully enjoy it. This time it’s also two families, just our travel... does that time when we argued and visited Old Summer Palace count?"
With Huo Feng saying this, Pu Sangzhi did realize that it was indeed as he said in Beijing!
Pure trips belonging to just the two of them... were few!
All these years, the memories in her mind of enjoying beautiful sights seemed to be all group activities.
It seems that in the future, more time and money should be set aside for some simple couple trips.
Thus, in Pu Sangzhi’s room, the two spent an hour of intimate time belonging to just them.
A little past midnight, Huo Feng returned to his own room.
Before going to bed, he sent a WeChat message to Minal, inquiring about Ye Xi’s situation.
He himself wasn’t very concerned about Ye Xi...
But, because Sangzhi was worrying so much, Huo Feng, with a guilty conscience, had to ask about Ye Xi.
Minal then told Huo Feng that Ye Xi had been unconscious for an entire day.
She spent a whole day boringly by his bedside, didn’t dare to leave, and ate takeout for three meals...
The medical expenses were also rising quickly...
The most important thing was that the fever hadn’t subsided! It kept recurring!
This New Year’s Day, Minal originally planned to go out with students who stayed on campus, but she ended up spending the whole day.
Many times she thought of leaving, but then thought, leaving Ye Xi who’s having a high fever alone here wasn’t good, and there was no one to take care of him!
Besides, she actually hoped that when Ye Xi opened his eyes the first thing he’d see is her...
All these mixed feelings led to Minal spending a dull day at the hospital.
Huo Feng chatted with her casually, asking her to continue taking care of Ye Xi, and also encouraged her.
Minal, originally mentally and physically exhausted, was instantly invigorated after Huo Feng’s encouragement!
She was even more determined to take good care of Ye Xi!
After spreading this bowl of motivational speech, Huo Feng went to sleep with peace of mind.
The perfect New Year’s Day thus passed.
...
In Beijing, at the emergency observation ward.
A little past 3 a.m., Ye Xi, who had been in a daze and sleeping for more than a day, finally awoke dizzily...
At this hour, the ward was pitch-dark, and as Ye Xi’s eyes opened vaguely, his sight met a world of darkness, and a sudden sense of loneliness gradually enveloped him along with the darkness.
Ye Xi’s heart was already adrift in a lonely world, and faced with such an dim environment, the sense of solitude at this moment seemed to reach its peak.
The surroundings were very quiet, but in this silence, you could hear the beep of the heart monitor...
Ye Xi lay still for a long time, as if feeling this solitude, and also as if unwilling to admit he was still alive.
Facing the world in this way, people’s emotions are usually at the negative apex...
Therefore, in this moment, Ye Xi’s mind also considered the word ’death’.
He wondered if he was alive?
But, if he wasn’t alive, that would be okay too.
Everything seemed indifferent...
Just when he was thinking this, lost in thought...
Suddenly, a faint rustle reached his ears...
Ye Xi slightly turned his head, following the sound with his gaze, and as he adjusted to the dark room, he finally saw a shadow of a person’s head beside him...
Of course, this wasn’t terrifying.
This instantly made him realize that he should be in bed, he actually wasn’t lonely; someone was with him.
Only this person...
Ye Xi thought for a moment, and immediately figured out who this person was.
In the darkness, he let out a shallow sigh, carrying disappointment and resignation.
If it really were her, Ye Xi truly hadn’t thought about how to face her when he got back?
To give her such an opportunity, he must have inevitably given her hope again.
Ye Xi didn’t want to give her such an opportunity in his heart, but he had to admit, she did help him.
Consider that he’s owing her one.
After a while...
As time gradually passed, Minal, who had slept stiff in one position, felt herself waking up.
She turned over, facing towards Ye Xi, blinking her eyes...
Of course, in such dim environment, she couldn’t see if Ye Xi had awakened...
But, Minal reached for her phone on the bedside table, lit up the screen, and frowned at the time.
At this moment, it was 3:35 a.m.
"Ah..."
She let out a soft sigh, her head falling heavily back onto the bed, placing down her phone.
Soon after, Minal suddenly lifted her head again, unlocking her phone...
She felt she couldn’t sleep, and at this time she should scroll through TikTok!
Then, just as she was about to open the TikTok app, she suddenly noticed a pair of bright eyes watching her from the darkness on the other side of her phone.
"Oh!"
Minal gasped, startled.
When she realized, only then did she feel that Ye Xi might be awake!
So, Minal immediately turned around, shining her phone’s light on Ye Xi’s face.
Sure enough, as the phone’s light hit Ye Xi’s face, he turned his head sideways, seemingly dazzled by the light.
"You’re awake!"
Minal uttered in a low voice, afraid of disturbing the other patients.
However, she was very excited!
Minal instantly turned on the bedside lamp, the dim light illuminating the small world around this bed.
This was the emergency observation room, with more than ten beds, each separated by curtains.
So, when the light was turned on, it didn’t greatly affect the other beds.
Plus, it’s a shared ward, meant to accommodate such an environment, so Minal’s sudden lighting didn’t have much impact.
"Hey, how are you feeling?"
Minal put down the phone, leaned towards Ye Xi, and touched his forehead, "Still very hot, should I call a doctor for you?"
Ye Xi weakly shook his head, his face pale.
Such a look softened Minal’s heart instantly!
Minal’s bright eyes twinkled, staring at him, "You look really weak, so pitiful~"
Minal was someone who spoke whatever was on her mind.
Ye Xi looked at her peculiar face, slightly frowning, "What happened to me?"
"You had a fever..."
Minal whispered, to not disturb the patients, she softly told him, "Just that day on the playground, I wanted to find you to celebrate the new year together, but you suddenly fainted! Then, a senior from the Academy of Fine Arts helped me take you to the hospital, and with seeing a doctor, getting medicine, paying fees, the senior helped a lot, and then you were hospitalized. High fever, slept over a day! Luckily you woke up, if you hadn’t, I might have had to contact your family."
Having heard her story, Ye Xi somewhat understood his situation.
He lowered his gaze, saying thoughtfully, "How much were the medical fees?"
"It’s over 1000 now, I forgot exactly how much..."
Minal waved her hand and said, "When it’s dawn, I’ll take out the receipt and show you. I think you should pay me back, right? I can’t just do good deeds for free, right... plus we’re not that kind of relationship... should be paid back, right?"
Saying the last sentence, Minal grinned sheepishly.
"Hmm."
Ye Xi replied softly, "I will."
