The next day, Xu Xiyan woke up early and cooked some nutritious porridge, just like she had done the day before . She also prepared some exquisite and appetizing side dishes . After packing the food, she made her way towards the barracks to find Ye Xun .
“Second senior, can you accompany me today?”
Ye Xun lay in bed, wrapped in a blanket as he pretended to be asleep . That's right, he was being deliberate . He just didn't want to accompany her to the hospital .
“Second senior!”
Xu Xiyan shouted several times but Ye Xun was still ignoring her . Xu Xiyan felt her blood boiling . She had no choice but to kick him, sending him and his blanket rolling off the bed and onto the floor .
Ker-thunk! Ye Xun fell to the ground and hit his head against the sharp corner of a table leg, pain flaring up in his head . “Little Xixi, you mother*cker! Would it kill you to treat me more gently?”
Xu Xiyan rolled her eyes . “Who told you to ignore me!? You deserve it!”
Ye Xun picked himself up from the ground and flung his blanket back onto his bed . His face had darkened as if a storm was coming . He seemed to have been greatly angered .
Xu Xiyan understood him well and knew that he tended to wake up on the wrong side of the bed . If someone was to offend him, he would show his attitude for the whole day .
She still needed his pass to enter the hospital later . Xu Xiyan cleared her throat and said, “Okay, second senior, I was wrong just now . I apologize, please don't be angry . ”
In order to please him, she helped find his clothes and brought them to him obediently . “My Lord, you have the heart of a lion and you should not mind the misdeeds of a mouse . They say a great person's magnanimity is as vast as the sea . Oh, I pray you forgive me!”
“Hmph, not bad . ” Ye Xun was the type of person who would give in to gentle persuasion but not forceful demands . Whenever Xu Xiyan offended him, all she needed to do was to soften her tone and show some affection toward him . It was guaranteed to work every time and it was considered easy to persuade him .
The two arrived at the hospital . Just like last time, Xu Xiyan stayed put nearby the ward and waited as Ye Xun took the food into the room .
Within a few minutes, Ye Xun returned . Xu Xiyan went up to him and asked, “How is he? Did he eat the food I made him?”
“No . ” Ye Xun shook his head and told her bluntly, “He seemed to be gone . The ward is empty . ”
“What? He's gone?”
Xu Xiyan could not believe it . She ran into the ward to look . It was just like Ye Xun said; the ward was empty . Everything was neat and clean inside as if the room had been cleaned as a procedure after the patient was discharged .
Is he gone?
He had not recovered from his injuries yet . Where could he go?
Xu Xiyan became even anxious . Just then, a nurse passed by . She stopped the nurse and asked her, “Hello there, Miss . Could you tell me where the patient of this ward is?”
The nurse took a look at the ward number, then answered, “Oh, Mr . Huo has been discharged . ”
“When did he leave? He still hasn't recovered from his injuries!”
Xu Xiyan was becoming so anxious that she was about to burst into tears . She had no idea what was going on . Why didn't Huo Yunshen say anything before he left?
“He was discharged from the hospital last night . I heard that he is returning to Zstan . ” The nurse finished her words and left .
Xu Xiyan was dumbstruck on the spot . She could roughly guess that it was most likely because of Huo Yunshen's mother; she had insisted that Huo Yunshen was to return to Zstan and he had no choice but to obey her .
What should she do now?
“Little Xixi, I think you should go back to base with me . ” Ye Xun reached out to grab her wrist, wanting to take her back .
Xu Xiyan shook his hand off and looked at him seriously . “Second senior, lend me your phone . I want to buy a flight ticket . I must get a ticket for a flight today, or tomorrow at the latest . I want to return to Zstan . ”
Ye Xun's eyes went wide with disbelief . “Are you crazy?!”
Perhaps Xu Xiyan had really gone “mad . ” From the moment she learned that Huo Yunshen had left without saying goodbye, her heart was taken away too .
She was worried because his injuries had not fully healed and every moment she was anxious about him . She couldn't wait anymore, not even for another second . She wanted to see him right away .
At this time, in another ward on the same floor, Helian Qingyu woke up .
His adjutant went up to him and asked, “General, are you awake?”
“I'm not dead . Who saved me?”
Helian Qingyu confirmed that he was not dead . He recalled that he had been attacked near the bar and he was seriously injured . His mind faintly remembered a hazy impression of someone .
He was sure that it was a woman who had saved him .
Although he hadn't looked at her face clearly, he remembered her voice .
“Sir, it was Nightfall, the commander of the JS First Squadron, who sent you to the hospital . ”
“What about the girl?”
The adjutant was puzzled . He didn't know any girl . “What girl, General?”
“The girl who saved my life . Who is she?”
The adjutant was even more confused . He shook his head . “I didn't see any girl . I only know that it was Nightfall who saved you . ”
Helian Qingyu furrowed his thick eyebrows . Was it because he had been injured and fallen unconscious? Was the girl he saw was only a hallucination?
Thinking back carefully, his memory of the girl was faint and blurry in his mind, but he remembered her bright eyes—they were more beautiful than the stars . He was sure of it .
“No, that's not right . Go ask Nightfall again,” Helian Qingyu ordered .
“Yes, sir!” The adjutant obeyed and withdrew from the ward in a hurry, brushing past Xu Xiyan, who stood outside the door .
He had no idea that the girl his superior was looking for was not far in the distance, but just right under his nose .
Two days later, Xu Xiyan finally flew to Peijing . Ye Xun had also returned with her .
In order to keep some details of the terrorist attack in Estan country confidential, news articles about the incident only occupied a small area of the current affairs section of the newspapers in Peijing . Nobody knew who the two important people who got injured from the attack were .
As soon as she landed at Zstan, she raced back to Shengshi Yujing and avoided Ye Xun . Xu Xiyan went into Huo Yunshen's apartment through the crystal closet door but found that he wasn't there .
He still hasn't recovered from his injuries, so maybe he is in the hospital, Xu Xiyan guessed .
In any case, she should get in touch with Huo Yunshen first .
Her old phone was broken . Xu Xiyan went to buy a new mobile phone but she had forgotten to bring her ID . They could not reissue a new SIM card for her so she could only buy a temporary one and use that for the time being .
Xu Xiyan felt a hint of excitement as she dialed Huo Yunshen's number .
The call connected but no one answered .
Xu Xiyan began to feel a bit anxious . Could it be that Huo Yunshen had lost his mobile phone?
At the same time, at the Huo family mansion, Huo Yunshen was lying in bed in his own room . Faraway on a table, his phone rang . He wanted to get up to see who was calling .
Just then Chen Yunlu was entering his room with a tray of food and saw him trying to get up . She quickly put the tray down on a small table in front of him and came over and held him down . “Yunshen, don't move . You might irritate your wounds . Lie down! Just lie down!”
“Mom, my phone is ringing . Please bring it to me,” Huo Yunshen said .
Chen Yunlu had guessed that he was definitely still not giving up on Jing Xi . He must've been waiting for her call .
Not wanting her son to be disturbed, Chen Yunlu walked over to his phone, picked it up and took a glance at it . She told him, “It's an unknown number . Must be some random real estate broker . ”
“Mom, just bring it to me . ”
Not only did Chen Yunlu refuse to hand the phone over to him, but she had also taken the liberty of rejecting the call, and then confiscated his phone .
“No . From now on, until you've recovered from your wounds, I shall keep your phone . You will rest with peace of mind!”
