Chapter 319 An Awkward Scene
Because of the heavy snow, many roads were closed, and just like Li Chenxu's situation, the snow on many roads had not been cleared. So, due to the delay on the road, it was more than an hour later when Mu Xiaoyu arrived at the agreed hospital.
Perhaps because of the weather, there seemed to be fewer people in the hospital than usual. Even so, it still took Mu Xiaoyu quite a bit of effort to find Bai Ye and the others.
"Mr. Bai!"
Mu Xiaoyu had been running almost the entire way without stopping, and now, standing in front of Bai Ye, she was almost out of breath.
Bai Ye already had feelings for Mu Xiaoyu, and seeing her panting, he quickly reached out to help her catch her breath. However, before his hand could fully touch her back, Mu Xiaoyu dodged it.
Bai Ye's hand froze in mid-air for a few seconds before he casually withdrew it.
Mu Xiaoyu hadn't expected Bai Ye to act this way so suddenly, and the atmosphere became a little awkward. She glanced at Bai Ye uncomfortably and asked, "Which ward is my husband in?"
"It's the one diagonally across from us."
Bai Ye acted as if nothing had happened, speaking to Mu Xiaoyu as if nothing was amiss, just like usual.
Mu Xiaoyu nodded upon hearing this and was about to head towards the ward when she suddenly stopped, as if she had remembered something. Then she turned around and looked at Bai Ye very seriously, saying, "Thank you for your help today, Mr. Bai. When Brother Chenxu recovers, I will come with him to thank you."
After saying that, Mu Xiaoyu didn't look at Bai Ye again and ran straight into the ward.
Bai Ye stood still, his calm and unwavering eyes fixed on Mu Xiaoyu's back until it completely disappeared before he looked away.
He glanced down at his palm and finally chuckled.
If he had known Mu Xiaoyu's identity earlier, he should have pursued her sooner. The person standing next to Mu Xiaoyu now might not be Li Chenxu.
However, he was a step too late.
Bai Ye shook his head and finally left the hospital.
Although Bai Ye and Li Chenxu didn't get along, Bai Ye was a decent person. When Mu Xiaoyu entered the ward, Li Chenxu had already started an IV drip, and the doctor had prescribed medication on the bedside table.
Mu Xiaoyu walked to the bedside, reached out and touched Li Chenxu's forehead. Feeling the burning heat in her palm, her brows immediately furrowed tightly.
The temperature is even higher than it was last night.
Thinking about how Li Chenxu left without taking his medicine that morning, Mu Xiaoyu was immediately furious. But when she saw Li Chenxu's pale face and dry, chapped lips, her anger instantly vanished, replaced by deep heartache.
She looked helplessly at Li Chenxu's sleeping face, then went to the water dispenser, filled a cup with warm water, and used a cotton swab dipped in the warm water to moisten Li Chenxu's lips.
Mu Xiaoyu had always known that Li Chenxu was an extremely cautious person. If Li Chenxu were normally lucid, he would have woken up long ago at such a commotion. But the fact that Li Chenxu hadn't reacted at all showed just how serious his illness was this time.
Mu Xiaoyu felt extremely distressed. After moisturizing Li Chenxu's lips, she held Li Chenxu's hands tightly and didn't let go.
When the nurse who came to make rounds saw Mu Xiaoyu's nervous appearance, she couldn't help but tease her, "Mrs. Li, Mr. Li just has a bad cold. He'll be fine after taking the medicine and resting for a couple of days. He doesn't have any other illness, so don't be so nervous."
Even though the nurse said that, Mu Xiaoyu's anxiety did not lessen in the slightest. She glanced helplessly at the nurse, then looked at Li Chenxu, who was still unconscious, and whispered, "I know, but I'm just worried. He's never been this sick before. I'm worried."
If someone else had said these words, they would have been considered pretentious or making a mountain out of a molehill. But seeing Mu Xiaoyu's worried expression and her still tightly holding onto Li Chenxu's hand, no one would have thought she was being pretentious or making a mountain out of a molehill.
"Don't worry, Mrs. Li. Mr. Li will wake up soon and he'll get better gradually."
The nurse comforted Mu Xiaoyu, changed Li Chenxu's IV fluids, and then left.
Shortly after the nurse left, Li Chenxu woke up. His cold was much worse than yesterday, almost turning into pneumonia. He was still a bit groggy and not as clear-headed as usual.
After he opened his eyes, he stared blankly at Mu Xiaoyu for a few seconds, which made Mu Xiaoyu feel nervous before she gradually came to her senses.
How did I end up in a hospital?
When Li Chenxu spoke, his voice was incredibly hoarse, and so hoarse that it was almost indistinct.
Upon hearing this, both of them were stunned for a moment, but soon, a deep look of heartache appeared in Mu Xiaoyu's eyes.
She held Li Chenxu's hand tightly and said with a sob in her voice, "I told you to take your medicine but you wouldn't, and as a result, your cold got worse and you fainted at the company. It was Mr. Bai who brought you here."
As Mu Xiaoyu spoke, tears began to fall. She had never seen Li Chenxu so weak before, and her heart ached.
Li Chenxu's mind was a bit of a mess, especially when he saw Mu Xiaoyu's tears. He didn't have time to think much and quickly reached out to wipe away Mu Xiaoyu's tears, comforting her, "Don't cry, don't cry. I was in a hurry to leave today and forgot to take my medicine. I won't do it again, I promise. Don't cry, okay?"
His tone was incredibly gentle; even though he was feeling very uncomfortable, he was still so tender towards her.
Hearing Li Chenxu's hoarse voice, Mu Xiaoyu's tears continued to fall. She bit her lip and stared at Li Chenxu for a long time before finally choking out, "Don't let it happen again. If it does, I won't talk to you anymore!"
His somewhat childish tone made Li Chenxu chuckle softly.
As soon as he smiled, Mu Xiaoyu glared at him fiercely: "What are you laughing at!"
"No, I wasn't laughing at anything. I promise this won't happen again."
Seeing that Li Chenxu didn't seem to be just going through the motions, Mu Xiaoyu gave a heavy snort, which was considered a sign that she had forgiven Li Chenxu.
After chatting with Mu Xiaoyu for a while, Li Chenxu gradually came to his senses. Thinking about how he had shown his vulnerable side in front of his love rival, Li Chenxu felt a little regretful.
But since it's already happened, there's nothing that can be done. I owe Bai Ye a favor this time, and I'll have to repay it later.
