Chapter 1271: Did You Send This?
Zhou Chengchen was about to call Liu Xiaoyu. If he hadn’t come yet, she would go buy some food first.
Just as the phone was dialing, the hospital room door was pushed open, and Liu Xiaoyu came in carrying two bags: "Master, Cheng Chen, time for breakfast."
Liu Xiaoyu brought a lot of things, but they were all rather light, mostly consisting of porridge.
He hadn’t eaten yet either; the three of them each had a bowl of porridge in the hospital room. Zhou Chengchen’s was small chaos.
Xi Siyan held a bowl of porridge and a small spoon, but his gaze was fixated on Zhou Chengchen, making Liu Xiaoyu unable to stand it any longer. He reached out and patted Xi Siyan: "Master, eat first."
Zhou Chengchen also looked up and realized that she and Liu Xiaoyu had already eaten half of theirs, but Xi Siyan hadn’t even finished a quarter.
Zhou Chengchen frowned: "Quick, eat. You need to take your injection after eating."
Xi Siyan’s gaze was still on her, not moving. Zhou Chengchen helplessly said: "If you don’t eat, I’m leaving."
The next second, Xi Siyan gulped down half a bowl of porridge in a rush.
His fever had subsided, but he still had a slight fever. After receiving two bottles of injections and consulting the doctor, they confirmed there was no need for hospitalization. Liu Xiaoyu directly took Zhou Chengchen and Xi Siyan back to the apartment.
"Master, these are the medications prescribed by the doctor. Remember to take them. I’ll notify you of any company matters. Rest well if there’s nothing else; your health is important. I’m leaving now."
Even Liu Xiaoyu, who was not emotionally perceptive, knew it was inappropriate for him to stay in the current situation.
Accompanied by the sound of the door closing, only Zhou Chengchen and Xi Siyan remained in the apartment.
Zhou Chengchen ran to the kitchen to get a cup of water and studied the pile of medicine, tearing it open with a flurry. She brought the meds and the cup over: "Take your medicine."
Xi Siyan’s gaze was still fixed on her, and Zhou Chengchen was extremely uncomfortable with that kind of look today. Aggressively, she stuffed all the medicine into Xi Siyan’s mouth and forcefully placed the cup near his lips.
"Quickly take this medicine, or I’ll hit you."
Xi Siyan’s gaze didn’t move, but he obediently swallowed the medicine.
Zhou Chengchen breathed a sigh of relief, took a deep breath, and met Xi Siyan’s gaze that made her feel so uneasy: "Don’t look at me like that, I have something to tell you."
"Okay."
"You go lie down first, don’t fall again later. I don’t have the strength to get you to the hospital."
Whatever Zhou Chengchen said, Xi Siyan complied and went back to the bedroom to lie down, and Zhou Chengchen didn’t forget to bring a cup of water upstairs.
He lay there, and she sat by the bedside.
"I heard from An Rui that back then... you had a bone marrow transplant surgery?"
"Yes."
"Why didn’t you tell me?"
"At first, I didn’t want to distract you. Afterwards, there was no opportunity."
Xi Siyan’s response was concise, and Zhou Chengchen bit her lip: "I know you had complications after the surgery. But even so, was there no time to even send a message? Communications are so advanced now, it’s not like you needed to write a letter."
"I’m sorry."
Xi Siyan reached out to hold Zhou Chengchen’s hand, his gaze sincere and focused.
Zhou Chengchen didn’t pull away, but her eyes turned red in an instant. She suppressed the rising choke in her throat and reached into her pocket to get her phone, scrolling through it for a long time before turning the screen towards Xi Siyan: "Did you send this?"
A confrontation delayed for three years, the question that should have been asked in that milk tea shop, was finally voiced today.
