Chen Yu'an was sitting in a wheelchair, his face a bit pale. When he saw Chi Yu holding Qingmian's hand, his eyes flickered slightly. After she turned around, he resumed his usual look.
Qingmian walked up to Chen Yu'an. With an anxious look on her face, she turned to Ji Bai beside her and asked, "Brother Ji Bai, how serious is my brother's condition?"
Ji Bai gave her a gentle smile. "It's okay. I just gave him an injection. Don't let him come into contact with cats anymore. Allergies are no small matter. In serious cases, they can be life - threatening."
Qingmian nodded repeatedly. "I understand."
This was the second time she had seen Chen Yu'an have an allergic reaction. At that time, his hands were covered in red rashes and he had difficulty breathing. Qingmian was really scared and called an ambulance immediately.
She shouldn't have believed Chen Yu'an's words. His claim that he had already recovered was nothing but nonsense.
Qingmian leaned over and looked down at Chen Yu'an in the wheelchair. "Did you hear that? You can't come into contact with kittens anymore in the future. The cat houses in the yard..." She paused. She only needed to save up three months' rent before moving out of Qingyuan. By then, there probably wouldn't be anyone to take care of the kittens. "Remove them all."
"Remove them?" Chen Yu'an's pale face instantly darkened, and the atmosphere became a bit solemn.
"Mianbao!" Lu Wenxi's loud voice broke the solemn atmosphere. "What's going on? How did this happen?" She grabbed Qingmian's hand and looked at it from side to side. After making sure there were no other injuries, she stared at the hand wrapped in gauze.
Before Qingmian could say anything, Lu Wenxi immediately stood up straight and looked down at Chen Yu'an with a disdainful look. "It's you again, isn't it? Qingmian will never have any good luck following you."
Chen Yu'an pursed his lips. Rarely, he didn't refute. This was indeed his fault. It was his idea to take the cat for a physical examination, which got her injured.
Seeing Chen Yu'an's poor complexion, Qingmian quickly grabbed Lu Wenxi's arm. "It's not my brother's fault. My brother is also injured."
"Humph, he deserves to be injured. Isn't this just looking for trouble?" Being allergic to cats but still touching them. In Lu Wenxi's eyes, this kind of behavior was simply asking for death. "Not only is he killing himself, but he's also dragging our Qingmian into it—"
"Shut up, Lu Wenxi!" Lu Wenxuan beside her roared at her.
Ji Bai frowned. "Keep your voice down. This is a hospital."
Lu Wenxuan didn't notice the protectiveness in Ji Bai's words. He clasped his fists. "Sorry, sorry."
"Don't yell at my brother." Lu Wenxi looked at Ji Bai unhappily.
Ji Bai: ... Well, it seems he's the clown here.
Goodness, it's like a love triangle situation between the brother and the boyfriend!
Qingmian's gaze shifted between the two of them. Her love for gossip made her completely forget the pain in her arm. Couldn't Brother Wenxuan notice this? This guy is so obtuse!
"A Yu, why do you look like this?" Ji Bai, who had suffered a psychological blow, shifted the topic to Chi Yu.
Suddenly, everyone's gazes fell on him.
Lu Wenxi couldn't help but burst out laughing when she saw him. She sized him up and down before speaking. "Brother Chi Yu, were you robbed?"
At this moment, Chi Yu's complexion was no better than Chen Yu'an's. He gave Lu Wenxi an annoyed look. "What do you know, Miss Flamboyant?"
Lu Wenxi was so choked by his words that she couldn't say a word. She secretly glanced at Ji Bai for help.
Ji Bai pretended not to see and averted his gaze.
She had just roared at him, and now she remembered him?
He also had a temper, okay?
"I wanted to say this downstairs. How could you go out like this? What bad things did you do last night?"
Lu Wenxuan was so single - minded that he didn't notice that Chi Yu's face was so dark that he could kill someone. He just kept talking.
"Are you here to see me or the patient?"
Chi Yu's usual perfect image had completely collapsed at this moment. He transferred his anger to Chen Yu'an. "Does it feel good to be out of breath?"
When he had held Qingmian's hand just now, the look in Chen Yu'an's eyes clearly carried overflowing hostility. Now sitting in the wheelchair and pretending to be weak, who was he trying to deceive?
"I feel much better than a man who doesn't know where he went to fool around at night and runs out of the house without even dressing properly."
Chen Yu'an sat in the wheelchair looking weak and helpless, but his mouth was merciless.
Sure enough, as soon as he said this, Qingmian took an imperceptible step back. Chi Yu was almost amused by her little action.
What did taking a step back mean? Did she despise him?
Chi Yu had nowhere to vent his anger. After sneering, he walked straight out of the door.
"Is Brother Chi Yu in a relationship?" Lu Wenxi was more gossipy than anyone else. After he left, she immediately leaned closer to Chen Yu'an and asked, completely forgetting her bad attitude towards him just now.
Chen Yu'an didn't even look at her. "I don't know."
Lu Wenxi's face fell. She stood up abruptly. "If you don't know, then stop talking nonsense. Qingmian will learn bad things if she stays with you."
"It seems he is in a relationship." Qingmian remembered what she had seen at Lanyu yesterday and blurted it out subconsciously.
"How do you know?" Lu Wenxi's eyes immediately lit up again.
"I was at Lanyu yesterday. Chi Yu and Sister Lan went there together. It seems they are in a relationship."
As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Yu'an in the wheelchair gave her a meaningful look. He quickly withdrew his gaze, and the corner of his mouth curled up in a faint arc.
"Do you mean Sister Lan is Wang Lan?" Lu Wenxuan listened to their conversation and spoke uncertainly.
"Brother Wenxuan, do you know Sister Lan?" Qingmian asked.
Before Lu Wenxuan could stutter out an answer, Lu Wenxi's voice rang out first.
"Sister Wang Lan? How could Brother Chi Yu be with Sister Wang Lan?" Lu Wenxi frowned.
Qingmian turned to look at her in surprise. "You know her too?"
She had no memory of Wang Lan at all.
Lu Wenxi explained to her. "Sister Wang Lan was our neighbor when we were kids. But she moved away later, and we haven't been in touch since. How could she and Brother Chi Yu get together?"
Before her words landed, a look of displeasure flashed across Lu Wenxuan's face. He impatiently interrupted Lu Wenxi. "Come on, come on. Why are you always gossiping about others? Mind your own business."
"Um..." Lu Wenxuan scratched his nose and pointed at Lu Wenxi. "Wenxi has a meeting to attend later, and I also have something to do at the club. Since you two seem to be okay, we'll leave first."
After saying that, without waiting for Lu Wenxi to speak, he directly dragged her into the elevator.
...
Downstairs, Chi Yu was sitting in the car. His face no longer showed the calmness he usually had at school. With a dark look on his face, he twisted the rear - view mirror. Looking at his messy hair in the mirror, he realized how embarrassed he had been just now.
Remembering Chen Yu'an's words, his chest felt stuffy. What did he mean by not knowing where he went to fool around at night? And then he remembered Qingmian's action of taking half a step back. He slapped the steering wheel. Was this girl a fool? How could she believe such words?
Chi Yu took a deep breath. After calming down his emotions, he slowly drove out of the hospital.
