Chapter 45 Chaoyue's younger sister comes to keep me company at night
The county hospital late at night!
Although Xu Lang was lying alone in the hospital bed, he did not feel lonely, and his fingers flew across the phone screen.
With no need to memorize tomorrow's lines, he can finally focus on running his "fishpond management" business.
The corners of his mouth were always turned up.
His original plan was to have a video call with Jing Tian tonight, as that "human beauty" had been excitedly reporting her "teaching results" since last night.
But he changed his mind now; he didn't want to have too much to do with Jing Tian.
Regardless of whether the wire incident is related to her or not, the best course of action is to protect herself and focus on developing her strength.
I saw her message and gave a perfunctory reply.
He chatted happily with Meng Ziyi, Mao Xiaotong, Yang Rong, Yang Chaoyue, and others. None of them knew that he was injured and hospitalized.
But it couldn't be hidden in the end!
He took a selfie and sent it to Yang Chaoyue!
Yang Chaoyue was staring at the photo booth picture and grinning foolishly. She just loved looking at his face; it was pleasing to the eye.
Suddenly, a delicate hand snatched her phone away with lightning speed.
"Ah..." she exclaimed, turning her head to look, then immediately deflated, like a student caught red-handed.
"Boss, I... I just picked it up, I just glanced at it."
The proprietress stared at the handsome guy's profile picture on her phone screen. He was indeed quite handsome. Although being handsome can't put food on the table, looking at him could certainly lift her spirits.
"Chaoyue, you're doomed, you've fallen in love... Wait a minute!" The landlady frowned slightly, held the phone even closer, and zoomed in on the photo:
"He's in the hospital?"
He looked at Yang Chaoyue with a puzzled expression, somewhat confused.
Given this girl's temperament, if a handsome guy were hospitalized, she definitely wouldn't be sitting here quietly making milk tea.
Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, Yang Chaoyue stood up and brought her phone closer:
"No, he's at the hotel where the film crew is staying!"
"No, this is a hospital bed!" The proprietress was certain, her eyes fixed on the small section of the bed frame peeking out of the photo.
"I just came back from the hospital. This is a hospital bed."
"Huh?" Yang Chaoyue snatched the phone and hurriedly made a video call, but was rejected.
Seeing her hurried and flustered appearance, the proprietress said:
"He definitely didn't want you to know he was in the hospital, otherwise he wouldn't have taken a close-up photo of you."
Yang Chaoyue's eyes reddened as she looked at the proprietress, somewhat at a loss. After all, she was just a teenage girl with simple thoughts, and she also felt a sense of powerlessness.
The proprietress sighed softly, glanced around the shop—there weren't many customers—and told another employee that she could leave early since there weren't many people. Then she looked at Yang Chaoyue:
"Come on, I'll take you!"
Yang Chaoyue hurriedly took off her apron, gripped her phone tightly, and followed the proprietress out of the milk tea shop and into the car.
The streetlights in the county town had a yellowish hue, and the neon lights were even more dazzling. Yang Chaoyue was extremely anxious, staring intently at the signs outside the window.
Passing by a fruit stand that was about to close, the owner stopped her car and bought a bag of apples.
Yang Chaoyue took the bag, glanced at it, and looked a little puzzled:
"You want to buy apples too?"
The proprietress started the car, lightly pressed the accelerator, and said:
"Haven't you ever visited a patient in the hospital? Regardless of the relationship, bring some fruit; that's called good manners. You have a lot to learn in the future."
The landlady didn't mind teaching the teenage girl, who was just starting out in society, more about social etiquette.
She liked the girl very much because she was pretty and hardworking.
Upon arriving at the county hospital, head straight to the inpatient department, ask the nurse at the information desk, explain your purpose, and state the patient's name. The nurse will usually help you check.
It was late at night at the county hospital, and there were quite a few patients' families. The two of them arrived at the door of a ward.
There was only one patient in the ward, and it was the handsome young man I hadn't seen in a long time.
"Brother Lang!"
Yang Chaoyue quickened her pace and jogged into the ward.
The familiar voice startled Xu Lang, nearly causing him to drop his phone on his face. He quickly turned off the screen and turned to look.
A vibrant young woman named Yang Chaoyue walked briskly towards them, her eyes reddening. Behind her followed a mature and charming woman in her thirties, her face showing helplessness as she carried fruit in her hands.
"Chaoyue, what brings you here?"
He sent Yang Chaoyue a close-up photo, and a little while later she made a video call, but he refused to answer and sent a text message saying that it was inconvenient for him to make a phone call.
Unexpectedly, she actually came straight at me.
Could there be a flaw in the photo?
Yang Chaoyue's face was full of worry, and tears were about to fall. She looked Xu Lang up and down, finally stopping at his calf with bandages.
"Brother Lang, what happened to you? Why are you suddenly in the hospital?"
Xu Lang forced a smile, trying to appear relaxed.
"I'm fine. I just accidentally fell while filming and broke my leg. This is a common occurrence in our industry."
The proprietress put down the fruit, stood at the foot of the bed, and said with a smile:
"Handsome guy, you really worried our little sister Chaoyue so much, she came to see you before she even got off work."
Xu Lang said helplessly, "It's a small matter for me, I haven't even told her; Chaoyue, don't worry, I'll be discharged tomorrow."
The proprietress continued, "Handsome, you know that Chaoyue is a minor, right?"
"I know!" Xu Lang blurted out.
The proprietress is in her thirties and can see through many things at a glance, without any shyness.
Xu Lang was no naive newcomer, and naturally understood what she meant.
This is the simple and direct way that wise people communicate.
"Don't worry, boss lady, Chaoyue is like my little sister." Xu Lang reached out and gently stroked Yang Chaoyue's head, like an older brother showing affection.
"I know about her family situation. I just wanted to help her, and I had no other intentions."
The proprietress nodded slightly and said nothing more.
In fact, she had been keeping an eye on Yang Chaoyue's activities and observed that the two of them had not announced their relationship for so long.
This showed that Xu Lang wasn't the type to prey on underage girls, which put my mind at ease.
Otherwise, given Chaoyue's simple mind, she would have been won over long ago. It can only be said that Xu Lang was holding back.
After half an hour.
The proprietress offered to take Yang Chaoyue home, but she refused, saying she would stay the night.
Xu Lang said he didn't need it, but she was stubborn and wouldn't leave.
In the end, the proprietress left on her own.
In the hospital room late at night, Yang Chaoyue chattered on about the fun things at the milk tea shop until her eyelids started to droop, at which point she obediently pulled out the cot and lay down.
Under the incandescent light, the girl's budding features already showed delicate contours.
In a few years, when it's fully grown, it will be even more beautiful.
Xu Lang turned off the lights and went to sleep.
Late at night, nurses would occasionally come to check on Xu Lang, but they would generally not disturb the family members who were accompanying him. They would simply take Xu Lang's temperature.
the next day!
It was Yang Mi's assistant who came over, saying she was helping Xu Lang with the discharge procedures, and brought breakfast into the ward.
Seeing the little girl sleeping on the cot, I was a little stunned, but I quickly realized that she must be a family member.
"Teacher Xu Lang, I'm here to help you with your discharge procedures."
The sound startled Yang Chaoyue awake. She rubbed her eyes, still feeling sleepy.
Upon seeing the woman standing at the foot of the bed, he quickly composed himself and put on a smile.
Xu Lang pointed at her: "My sister stayed here to keep you company last night; actually, you didn't need to come, I could have handled it myself."
Yang Mi's assistant smiled at Yang Chaoyue and said:
"My foot injury makes it inconvenient, let me do it."
I put down my breakfast, grabbed my documents, turned and left, the sound of my high heels fading into the distance down the corridor.
Xu Lang picked up the breakfast, handed it to Yang Chaoyue, and said:
"You eat it!"
"Someone brought this for you, you eat it, I'll eat it later."
"Chaoyue, someone's coming. You should go back to work."
"I'm not in a hurry. I'm on the afternoon shift today. I'll take you back to your place later before I leave."
Morning light filtered through the gaps in the curtains, falling between the two of them.
Looking at her untroubled smile, Xu Lang suddenly felt that this nurturing relationship might be more heartwarming than he had imagined.
