One Thousand and Eighteen Worry (I)

Although Shu Nian had asked for leave, he would occasionally walk out of the ward to get some fresh air.

At noon, when she went to the cafeteria to eat lunch, she sat at a table with a group of colleagues. Qi Qi, the nurse who was taking care of Ye Yan for her, happened to be sitting next to her.

She opened her mouth several times, wanting to ask something, but in the end, she didn't say anything.

"Qi Qi, are you taking care of Master Ye today?"

Until halfway through the meal, someone brought up the topic of him. Shu Nian had almost finished eating and could leave at any time, but when he heard this, he didn't move. He picked up the food in the bowl with chopsticks and ate it in a disjointed manner.

"Yeah. It's all Shu Nian's fault. He asked for leave for no reason." Qi Qi turned her head and looked at Shu Nian with a particularly depressed look.

Everyone looked at Shu Nian. Shu Nian pulled his lips, "Why do you blame me?"

"He looked so bad that I didn't dare to go in. If you hadn't asked for leave, I wouldn't have to worry." Qi Qi complained, "Besides, he is not a patient who is willing to cooperate well. His back is full of injuries, and in some places, even the bones are almost visible. But he refuses to take medicine, let alone injections."

"You said...he was injured so much that you can see the bones?" Shu Nian couldn't help but asked. Head nurse, didn't you say it was a minor injury?

"Yes. There are several places, which are quite serious."

Shu Nian bit her lip. No wonder he looked pale when she saw him today.

"Shu Nian, are you worried?" Someone came over and looked at her. Now he is a husband, and then a lover. Isn't it tiring?

Shu Nian came back to his senses, touched everyone's gossiping eyes, and stood up, "I'm done. You guys eat slowly."

————

Shu Nian washed the dishes and walked into the ward.

All the way, he was worried.

When she reached Ward 026, she slowed down her pace unconsciously. Ye Yan was in the ward, just one door away.

She took a deep breath and finally walked forward.

But what she didn't know was...

The door behind her was opened.

The man stood there, staring at her back without blinking. She never looked back and didn't see the deep disappointment in his eyes.

——————

Night gradually fell.

The weather was still good during the day, but at night, it suddenly rained heavily and the wind was raging.

Shu Nian took the book and went downstairs to take a taxi to the night school. However, after waiting for a long time, no taxi came. The mobile phone in the bag rang at this moment. Shu Nian took it out and looked at it. The flashing words on the screen made her stunned for a long time.

It was Ye Yan.

The ringing sound kept lingering in her ears, and Shu Nian's heart was in chaos all of a sudden.

She held the phone for a long time before picking it up and putting it to her ear.

"... Hello."

"Come here, I'll take you." Ye Yan only said two cold words. It was an ordering tone.

Shu Nian looked up and saw his car parked on the roadside not far away. In the heavy rain, in the dark night, there was a bright light. His face was hidden behind the car window. He didn't look at her, but just stared coldly ahead.

Shu Nian pursed her lips, "No, I can take a taxi myself."

Ye Yan sneered and said sarcastically, "Are you afraid that I will do something to you, or do you suddenly realize that you have to keep your virginity for your husband?"

Every word he said was like a needle.

Shu Nian didn't know how to respond.

Ye Yan didn't say anything on the other side. The two of them just held the phone and were in a stalemate. Through the layers of rain and fog, through the darkness, their eyes met.

At this moment...

The sound of 'beep--' suddenly sounded.

Shu Nian woke up. Hearing the sound, he looked over and saw Xiang Muyang's car parked a few meters away from her.

Before she could react, Xiang Muyang had already held up an umbrella and opened the car door to get out.

Shu Nian glanced at him, and then subconsciously looked at Ye Yan. Over there, Ye Yan hung up the phone coldly. Listening to the mechanical beeping sound, Shu Nian felt an unspeakable heaviness in her heart. She was distracted and didn't even feel how she got into Xiang Muyang's car.

Over there.

Ye Yan sat stiffly in the car and watched her get into the car protected by Xiang Muyang, his hands tightly gripping the steering wheel. His chest was stuffy and he couldn't breathe. The next moment, he simply opened the door and walked out. The heavy rain hit him like a stone, and Ye Yan leaned against the car, his tall figure hidden in the darkness.

The wound on his back suddenly hurt at this moment.

It hurt so much.

——————

Shu Nian sat in the passenger seat, his eyes subconsciously drifted to the rearview mirror. Outside, it was dark, and the heavy rain curtain made visibility extremely low, but Shu Nian saw the figure in the dark through the mirror at a glance.

He actually got out of the car. Moreover, he was standing outside without an umbrella.

Wasn't he seriously injured?

Shu Nian turned his head, hugged the backrest, and looked at him in a daze.

"What's wrong?" Xiang Muyang looked at her expression and followed her line of sight. However, it was pitch black outside and it was raining heavily. He could only see a figure vaguely and couldn't tell who it was.

Shu Nian shook his head, "Nothing..."

The car drove forward, and Ye Yan's figure became more and more blurred, and finally disappeared completely. Shu Nian turned his face back and hugged the book in his hand tightly.

At this moment...

A cell phone ring suddenly sounded, breaking the silence in the car. Shu Nian looked in the direction of the sound. It was Xiang Muyang's cell phone ringing, which was placed on the central control.

The screen was flickering. Shu Nian just glanced at it and vaguely saw the word "Meng", which was taken away by Xiang Muyang and directly covered up.

"You don't want to listen?" she asked.

Xiang Muyang looked at her, "Don't get me wrong, I have no contact with her anymore."

Shu Nian pursed his lips and said nothing, just looking out the window. Ning Meng was a very determined person. The phone kept ringing. Later, Xiang Muyang was probably annoyed and turned off his phone.

————

The car stopped at the entrance of the night school.

"I'm leaving." Shu Nian unbuckled his seat belt.

"I'll take you." Xiang Muyang took an umbrella and was waiting there. Shu Nian did not refuse and shared the umbrella with him to the door.

"Hurry up, it's too late." Xiang Muyang looked at the time, Shu Nian nodded, and followed other students upstairs with his book. She only heard Xiang Muyang say behind her: "I'll pick you up after class."

Shu Nian turned around to refuse, but Xiang Muyang had already gotten in the car. She saw him taking out his cell phone, probably to restart it.

Shu Nian hesitated for a moment, but finally turned around and walked up the stairs to the classroom.

——

Xiang Muyang sat in the car, staring at the cell phone that had just been turned on for a while, and then finally called back.

The cell phone rang less than twice before it was picked up.

"Muyang..." Ning Meng's soft voice, with a crying tone, made those who heard it feel distressed.
