She tore her hair and suddenly bumped into a soft place. The man's warm arms hugged her and kept calling her name: "Pei Xiao, Pei Xiao?"
Pei Xiao opened her eyes suddenly, the color was as cold as water, and she couldn't help but shudder. Xi Wanlai's face became clearer and clearer, and his beautiful eyes were full of worry.
Pei Xiao looked at him blankly, as if he had caught the last piece of driftwood in the water, and hugged his waist helplessly: "I..."
"You have a fever, it's okay." He gently hugged her to comfort her.
Pei Xiao looked over his shoulder and scanned everything in the ward. He finally breathed a sigh of relief and lay back as if exhausted.
Xi Wanlai held her waist and slowly put her back into the quilt.
She opened her eyes and stared blankly at the ceiling for a long time, then murmured: "I'm dreaming."
He hummed softly, touched her forehead with his fingers, wiped away the cold sweat on her forehead, and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
His voice had a strange soothing power, and Pei Xiao slowly felt at ease and began to eliminate those terrible fragments from her mind. She felt that it might not be true, if something so terrible had really happened to her.
She would rather not think about it.
Xi Wanlai watched her calm down and then slowly let go of her hand. Only then did Pei Xiao realize that she had been holding his hand, and there were several obvious nail pinch marks on the back of his hand that were bleeding!
"I'm sorry." She let go of her hand silently, her voice was hoarse and her mouth was bitter.
He shook his head, stood up, tucked her in, and seemed to be planning to turn around. A flash of lightning happened to flash outside the window, tearing apart the dark night. Pei Xiao instinctively stretched out his hand and grabbed her without her realizing it.
It stuck to the corner of his clothes.
Xi Wan turned her head back and forth. She looked at him intently, as if begging.
Xi Wanlai was stunned for a moment, then sat down beside her bed with a natural expression and said, "I just want to get you a glass of water."
Pei Xiao's face turned red. In fact, they were not very familiar with each other. They had met three times in total, and he also had a girlfriend. She was already grateful that he could send her to the hospital, and now she was making excessive demands...
She couldn't say the word "scared".
Xi Wanlai seemed to have guessed what she was thinking. She had just had a nightmare and had a high fever. She was left alone in the hospital. She looked very pitiful.
He handed the water to her hand and patted her shoulder to comfort her: "Don't worry, I won't leave."
Pei Xiao turned his face to one side, feeling both shy and grateful.
Outside the window, the wind and rain were still raging, but when she felt someone sitting next to her, she could close her eyes with peace of mind. At the same time, she also felt deeply shocked that she had become dependent on a person she had only met three times.
She thought Xi Wanlai would leave after she fell asleep, but she didn't expect to wake up in the middle of the night and open her eyes to see him still sitting on the edge of her bed.
He was silently lost in thought and didn't notice that she woke up. There was a depth as thick as night in her eyes. She had never seen that kind of look in him, but she often saw it in Xi Xiangdong.
She looked at the man's silhouette in the dark, and suddenly had the illusion that they had known each other for a long time, fell in love with each other at first sight, and fell in love with each other again.
She tried hard to get rid of these unrealistic fantasies and fell into sleep again. Little did she know that at this moment, Xi Wanlai, who had been thinking for a long time, finally made a decision.
