Bai Jing then realized that Su Yue had woken up . She ignored her comments about her phone case and touched her forehead . “You’re not feverish anymore . ”
She then continued, “Are you hungry? What do you want to eat? I’ll go get it for you . ”
Su Yue shook her head . “I’m not hungry yet . ”
She pulled down her collar to look at her tattoo . She frowned . “Why is it still so swollen?”
It rendered Bai Jing speechless . She replied, “It’s just been a few hours and your fever has just gone down . It’s not like you ate a magical elixir, how fast could it take?”
“Aish!” Su Yue sighed . “Bai Jing, do you think my third sister-in-law will be furious if she found out about my tattoo?”
Bai Jing pursed her lips and replied, “I don’t know either . ”
She pulled a frown . “But your Ming Uncle went overboard . How could he take you to get a tattoo? Girls shouldn’t get tattoos . ”
“Many girls overseas get tattoos too, it’s cool,” Su Yue defended, smiling . “I’ve been wanting to get one for a really long time . When I’m done with school, I want to get a flower tattooed on my neck . ”
“Su Yue, is it good to go overseas?” Bai Jing asked, suddenly depressed .
Su Yue shook her head and answered, “I don’t know . ”
Melancholy filled her eyes .
It confused Bai Jing . “Didn’t you grow up overseas? How could you not know?”
“Yes,” Su Yue started, her voice small . “But I’ve never been out . ”
She had grown up in and only ever stayed within the extremely small orphanage, which basically didn’t experience a ray of light .
So, she didn’t know if overseas conditions were good .
Su Yue looked at Bai Jing . She thought of something and asked, “Is your mother happy at home?”
Bai Jing lowered her head and twisted her mouth with a pained look . “She’s not the one with all the money . ”
Her words were filled with too much helplessness and resignation .
She then quickly changed the topic . “I’m a little hungry . I’ll go get the food now . What do you want to eat?”
She immediately added, “… other than chicken wings . The doctor advised a light diet . ”
Su Yue replied with an ‘oh’ . Her lips curled downwards . “Get me anything then . ”
Bai Jing replied, “I’ll get you a bowl of porridge and two vegetarian buns . ”
She grabbed her phone and money and went on her way .
It wasn’t long after Bai Jing left when Su Yue’s drip ran out . A nurse came over with a new bottle . The last bottle was a tiny one .
She leaned her head on the headrest of the bed . She stared at the liquid as it dripped .
“500… 501… 502…”
Su Yue was so focused on counting the number of drops that had fallen when a familiar male voice sounded from the front . “What are you counting?”
A cold shiver ran down her spine . She looked at the man and asked, “Third Brother, why… why are you here?”
Yan Rusheng was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt, and he had tucked his hands into his pockets . He towered over her and frowned . He acted stern as he chided, “Why didn’t you tell me that you were hospitalized? You’re pretty gutsy . ”
“Bai Jing told you?” Su Yue angrily asked .
‘How else would Third Brother have known? How would he have found this hospital?’
Yan Rusheng knew what Su Yue was worried about . He bent down and sat at the corner of her bed, deciding not to scare her anymore . In a gentle voice, he assured, “Relax, I didn’t tell your third sister-in-law . ”
He paused for a while, and with a smile, he continued, “You’re just having a fever, it’s not like you did anything bad . Why are you so afraid?”
Confusion flashed before Su Yue’s eyes .
‘Bai Jing didn’t tell him the reason for her fever?’
