There were too many people waiting in H City Hospital. As soon as the news broke out in the afternoon, the paparazzi came early. Xi Wanlai didn't want to stay in the ward overnight to avoid gossiping, so he left in the evening.
Pei Xiao was alone in the ward, so he was inevitably lonely. After playing games on his phone for a while, he habitually opened the address book and stared at the name "Xi Xiangdong". After thinking about it for a long time, he still held back.
At this time, he was probably still busy in the company. If she called to disturb him, she might make him angry again.
She still remembered that before leaving, he reminded her with a cold face: he was not her boyfriend and there was no reason to listen to her complaints.
She lingered until late at night, still not feeling sleepy at all. The wound on her back hurt from time to time. Whenever she felt uncomfortable, she missed Xi Xiangdong especially, and finally couldn't bear to dial his number.
"Hello?"
His voice came out low and clear, and Pei Xiao felt warm in his heart, and whispered: "It's me."
"Yeah." He paused and asked, "Is something wrong?"
With such a perfunctory answer, Pei Xiao felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on him, and he suddenly lost his confidence: "It's okay... I just want to hear your voice."
After saying that, he fell into silence again.
Xi Xiangdong didn't speak, but he didn't hang up either. After a while, he said, "I'm about to board the plane. Let's talk after we get off the plane."
Pei Xiao was stunned: "Aren't you coming to the film and television city on Monday? Where do you have to fly in such a short time?"
He seemed to smile on the other end of the phone and did not answer. He just took the phone away and placed it in a relatively open place. The clear and sweet female voice of the announcer came from the hall: "Dear passengers, the domestic flight is bound for H City.
MUXXXX is about to take off. Passengers who have not yet boarded the plane, please go to gate X to check in and board the plane..."

There was a knock on the ward door, and Pei Xiao sat up from the bed excitedly: "Mr. Xi..."
Zhou Lulu opened the door and came in with a surprised look on her face: "Are you waiting for someone?"
"No..." Pei Xiao hurriedly concealed his disappointment, smelling the smell of alcohol on her body, and asked, "Are you so late again?"
"They happened to drive out to eat, so I stopped by to see you." Zhou Lulu said, picking up the orange given by others on the table, peeling a piece and putting it in her mouth.
"You are really unlucky. You were injured and hospitalized on the first day of filming. But our crew is very popular. It became the focus of news as soon as it started filming. Everyone said that this drama will definitely be a hit."
In fact, Zhou Lulu envied Pei Xiao. Although everyone was in the same class and Pei Xiao was younger than her in terms of seniority, she had so many noble people helping her, being appreciated by directors, promoted by bosses, and the company's seniors and big names all taking care of her.
Pei Xiao just wanted to take a bath. She had an injury on her back and couldn't touch the water. She couldn't reach it. Zhou Lulu took the initiative to help her after hearing this.
"You really love to be clean. Even though you're like this, you still want to take a shower."
Pei Xiao did not say that it was because Xi Xiangdong was coming that she wanted to greet him cleanly and fragrantly.
She got out of bed and walked into the bathroom. She was taking off her clothes when Zhou Lulu's phone rang outside. She shouted to her through the door: "Wait a moment. I'll go out and take a call. I'll be right back."
It was already one o'clock in the morning when the plane landed in H City. After nightfall, it began to drizzle in this small town in the south of the Yangtze River. It was already dark and quiet at the entrance of the hospital, and a black Cayenne was parked at the door.
Xi Xiangdong threw the car keys to Lin Xiangyuan: "You go to the hotel to check in first, and come back tomorrow morning."
[Well, it was a typo. The film and television city that was written before was in City Y, but here it is written as City H. What Xi Xiangdong told Pei Xiao on the phone was the announcement of the flight to her place. I was afraid that someone might not understand it because of a typo. It was all over.
