Section 5

Such mundane nagging should not appear on the person of this elite man. However, because they are family, such care feels so natural and warm. In her slightly hoarse voice due to illness, Xiao Yuhang unconsciously carried a hint of reproach: "It sounds like I was born just to get married"

Still so impudent. Seeing the faint smile in his younger sister's eyes, Xiao Yi felt a warmth in his heart, and he joked, "Came to my territory to catch someone in the act, huh? Lin Ye called me, and I was so scared I thought it was Feng Jin Xiao."

The phone rang twice before being answered, followed by a brief inquiry: "What?" The tone was cold, with lingering anger.

Where is the difference? Clearly, he was not in a good mood even when talking to her. Otherwise, he wouldn't have turned hostile last night just because she refused to go to his place, saying that she should know when to stop while she was ahead. She retorted, "How many times have you even met him? How much do you understand him?"

Xiao Yuhang said with slight annoyance: "Are you looking for trouble?"

Her voice was not loud, lacking in strength, yet it still startled Xiao Yi, who was dozing lightly by the edge of the bed, awake

It is surprising that you still have the mind to think about this. Xiao Yi chuckled: "The company has already informed you about this."

Pressing her phone under the pillow, Xiao Yuhang struggled to turn over. In a hazy state, she vaguely heard the phone ringing continuously for a long time, followed by a knock on the door, but she could not wake up no matter what. In a half-asleep, half-awake state, she was overwhelmed by scattered fragments.

"Don't be a rogue trader." Xiao Yuhang looked at the sky and estimated that the flight she was supposed to operate should have landed by now: "It seems that my bonus for this month is gone."

Amidst the thunderous sound of the rain, a familiar voice, filled with anger, exclaimed: "Xiao Yuhang, you better know when to stop; I am not someone you cannot do without!"

Her body still ached faintly, yet she smiled: "Is that so? Then it's just right, let's break up."

When a man's silhouette clearly appeared in her line of sight, Xiao Yuheng was taken aback: "What wind has blown you back here?"

I used to be too gentle, which is why I was bullied by you

After that, Xiao Yuhang did not know when she fell asleep. It was only in a half-asleep, half-awake state that she felt a severe pain in her throat. Later, her whole body ached so much that she didn't even have the strength to turn over. She forced herself to continue sleeping, hoping that she would feel better after a good rest. However, the feeling of coldness on her body grew stronger, and she finally remembered to call for help

"A man in his thirties is still single, isn't that shameful? Those who praise you as a 'Diamond 5' are not complimenting you, they are actually flattering you to death."

The "she" that Xiao Yuhang mentioned is a taboo for Xiao Yi. Indeed, his smile instantly turned a bit bitter: "Can one make friends by so bluntly poking at someone's sore spot?" That woman, who already belongs to someone else, has not been a topic of conversation for him for too long, leaving him somewhat at a loss for words.

He sat up, leaned forward to touch her forehead, and confirmed that the fever had subsided before replying irritably: "A cold wind." Thinking of her high fever last night, there was a hint of reproach in his tone when he spoke again: "Aren't you afraid of becoming foolish and not being able to get married? You're already this old, yet you still don't know how to take care of yourself. It's only because I have returned that you have someone to look after you; otherwise, who would care for you?"

"Encountering someone for whom you are willing to take risks, that is love." Lou Yilin smiled, her laughter tinged with a hint of melancholy: "I truly envy you." Envying you for experiencing a genuine love, even if the final outcome may not necessarily be a perfect togetherness

Xiao Yuhang seemed unaware of who the main character in the topic was: "It's a hotel with a star rating, at least filter the guests a bit, aren't you afraid the police will come to have a chat with you!"

The empty room seemed to echo, and a pair of beautiful yet hostile eyes stared at her: "What do you think you can use to beg for his love? Xiao Yuhang, you are nothing but a shadow! My shadow."

It is fundamentally subconscious; she could barely open her eyes, yet she managed to press the shortcut key in her fumbling.

It was clearly a dream, yet it felt so real that every cell in her body ached unbearably

"Even if it is not a life goal, it is something that will happen sooner or later." Xiao Yi ultimately could not speak harshly to her, and his tone softened: "Isn't that why they say: a woman should not be kept past a certain age."

Such deliberate avoidance seems to imply a clear demarcation of boundaries with Feng Jinxiao. But who was it that called that person in a state of near delirium? Never mind, women have the right to be contradictory. Xiao Yi did not expose her, but continued along her line of thought: "One cannot just check someone's marriage certificate upon encountering men and women entering and exiting together. I am a businessman, not a police officer"

In fact, even if he says nothing, Xiao Yuhang has already guessed it

"I am worried for you," Lou Yilin sighed with some emotion. "In today's society, how difficult it is to meet a decent man and have a reliable relationship. The saying that a good horse does not turn back to eat old grass is a fallacy; it is the broken mirror that should be cherished even more. You must not be overly sentimental."

Her tears fell down, choked with emotion: "I am not!"

The harsh sound of the ambulance siren continued incessantly, as a pair of warm, dry hands held hers, and a deep voice possessed a soothing power amidst the clamor: "Don't be afraid, Hanghang, I am here."

Xiao Yuhang felt dizzy and disoriented as she processed her words, sitting in a daze for a moment before burrowing into her blanket to prepare for rest. Just as she was about to fall asleep, Lou Yilin called again, only to seemingly change her mind and say: "Forget it, I won't talk to you anymore." Then she hung up.

After waiting for a moment without a response, two words were thrown back from that side: "Speak."

Xiao Yi gently supported her palm to avoid the rolling needle, then raised the bed higher before turning to bring her a glass of water: "Just like Feng Jinxiao, you don't even need to draft when you order me around. Knowing you were ill here, you called me in the middle of the night and limited me to ten minutes to rush over. The tone was even harsher than reprimanding a subordinate." The implication was that the cold wind that had blown him here was Feng Jinxiao.

Yet she lacked even the strength to return the grip, her breath faint as a wisp: "I, hurt---"

This statement is too ambiguous and thought-provoking. Xiao Yuhang said with restraint: "I have the impulse to dislocate one of your arms"

Xiao Yuhang used all her strength but still spoke in a faint whisper: "Feng Jinxiao, come take me to the hospital"

Xiao Yuhang hesitated for a few seconds, admitting to a friend for the first time: "I am afraid of disappointment"

Friends, like men, are not about quantity but quality. Those who truly understand me will not abandon me because of my sharpness; if I do not occupy a place in their hearts, no amount of gentleness can alleviate the burden.

But in the end, he did not come

How did I end up calling him? The familiar male voice rendered Xiao Yuhang momentarily speechless, and she remained silent for quite some time.

Such sadness is not suitable for Lou Yilin. Just as Xiao Yuhang was organizing his words to comfort her, she had already healed herself, swearing as if cursing: "Where in the world is there no broken grass? If I want it, I can have as much as I want. I will quickly start a romance to infuriate that bastard!" After saying this, she directly hung up the phone.

As my brain began to function again, Xiao Yuhang realized that she was in City A. If he were to come from City G, it would take more than two hours by plane, not to mention the time spent traveling to and from the airport, as well as considering flight factors and their currently strained bilateral relations. The more she thought about it, the more despairing it became. She replied with difficulty, "Forget it," and hung up.

Do you care? Xiao Yuhang hesitated for a moment and asked, "How did you notice?"

Xiao Yi gave her a light tap on the forehead and said, "You should take advantage of the time when you become a little sickly cat to bully her a bit more, so as to avoid being unjustly labeled as a villain."

Xiao Yuhang truly wanted to kill her

Xiao Yuhang no longer argued with him, raising her hand to point at the water on the table: "Take care of the patient, he is thirsty"

But you are even more reluctant. Otherwise, you would not continue with him while being afraid at the same time

Lou Yilin almost replied with a tone of disdain: "The way he looks at you, the tone he uses when he calls your name, are all different from how he treats me. Haven't you noticed? Xiao Yuhang, is your silly head echoing?"

Then, consciousness gradually became chaotic

There was a clear pause, and the tone shifted from cold to urgent: "Where are you? What happened?"

"You didn't even say a word when you returned home, what are you being so mysterious about!" Xiao Yuhang suddenly thought of something: "Have you gone to see her, the one you mentioned?"

Luo Yilin said: "You have slept with him, yet it does not necessarily mean you understand much."

"Such physical labor should be left to your esteemed Xiao Ye. " When mentioning a certain person, Lou Yilin's tone suddenly became a bit more serious: "You don't like to bring it up, and I don't want to upset you, after all, matters of the heart are known only to those who feel them. However, you may not have noticed that ever since you two got together, you have become anxious and uncertain. Is it because Feng Jinxiao hasn't given you a sense of security? I think he cares about you quite a bit."

When she awoke again, it was already the afternoon of the following day, and she found herself in a hospital room that was entirely white.

Xiao Yi frowned: "When did you become so tough, girl?"
