“No need . I take a rest and will be fine . ” Gu Luan pats on her, “Come here . Sit by me and make sure I won’t faint . Or, I will make it an embarrassment . ”
Xia Ning nods and sits by Gu Luan .
The path is quiet . The night winds blow and leaves rustle .
The hotel makes nice green planting . The wind brings flavor of the trees and grasses . Xia Ning can’t help close her eyes to enjoy the tranquility .
She also drank some liquor . She feels dizzy, but not very much . She will take a rest . When Yi Yunrui comes back, she will have got it over .
“Hum…”
Suddenly, she hears a painful grunt . Xia Ning opens her eyes and sees that Gu Luan is pale . She is shocked .
“Director Gu . How are you?”
Gu Luan covers his stomach . He is so painful that he screws his face, but he still smiles at Xia Ning, “I am fine . It is just the old problem…I will be fine soon . ”
He gropes for a pill from his pocket and puts it into his mouth directly .
“I go to get a cup of water for you . ” Xia Ning runs straightly to the hall of the hotel and takes back a cup of warm water for Gu Luan .
“Thank you…” Gu Luan’s stomach is painful . His voice becomes weak . He takes the water and drinks it slowly .
Xia Ning glances at her watch . Ten minutes have passed . She wonders why the assistant hasn’t arrived .

“Hum . ” Gu Luan frowns . He presses hard on his stomach and can’t help giving another moan .
It can’t wait . It seems that Gu Luan drank too much and his stomach hurts . If he doesn’t go to the hospital in time, she is afraid that…
Thinking of this, Xia Ning tells Gu Luan, “Director Gu, you wait here for a minute . ”
Not waiting for Gu Luan’s response, Xia Ning runs to the hotel and gets her key . Then she asks several waiters to help Gu Luan to get on the car .
“Can you send someone to drive for us? Both of us drank . ” Xia Ning asks the hotel manager who helps Gu Luan to get on the car .
“OK . Hua, you drive the two guests to People’s Hospital . Drive carefully!” The manager agrees at once .
“Thank you!” Xia Ning says . She turns to check on Gu Luan . He is sweating and his hairs are wet . He presses on his stomach hard with his hand, the joints of which become pale .
“Director Gu, hold on . We will get to the hospital soon . ” Xia Ning takes out some towels and wipes the sweat on Gu Luan’s head .
Gu Luan lifts his mouth slightly . He wants to speak but fails . He weakly nods .
The hospital is not far from the hotel and Hua drives quite well . It takes them five minutes to get to the hospital .
Xia Ning helps Gu Luan to get off the car . They just want to walk, while Gu Luan gives several coughs and some blood flows out from the corner of his mouth . Xia Ning is shocked that she loses her color .
Gastrorrhagia!

“Hurry up, get him into the emergency room!”
Xia Ning and Hua together support Gu Luan into the emergency room . Xia Ning doesn’t register but directly finds a doctor . Soon, the doctor and nurse come .
The doctor checks on Gu Luan and asks Xia Ning: “The patient’s stomach is bleeding . He needs an operation . What’s your relation with the patient?”
Xia Ning knows a signature is needed, “I am his friend . ”
“Can you contact his family?” The doctor frowns .
Xia Ning hesitates, “I don’t know…”
It is urgent . The doctor agrees to have Xia Ning’s signature instead . Soon, Gu Luan is sent into the operation room . When the light is turned on, Xia Ning sits outside and waits . Her heart beats rapidly .
It is her fault . If Gu Luan hadn’t drunk so much liquor for her, he wouldn’t have needed to come to the hospital .
If she had known that Gu Luan had problems in his stomach, she wouldn’t have allowed him to drink so much!
Gu Luan is her boss . As a subordinate, she really does poorly!
At the time, Xia Ning’s phone rings . It is Yi Yunrui calling .
“Rui, you may go home first . I have something here . I need to handle it before I go home . ” Not waiting for Yi Yunrui to speak, Xia Ning says .

“Where are you? I can go to wait for you . ” Yi Yunrui sounds decisive .
Xia Ning curls her lips, “I am in the No . 1 People’s Hospital…”
“Why are you in the hospital? You don’t feel well?” Xia Ning has not finished her words, while Yi Yunrui gets anxious .
“No . Not me . It is Director Gu . He drank a lot of liquor and is having an operation in the hospital . ”
“OK . I am coming . You wait for a minute . ” Yi Yunrui hangs up the phone .
Soon, the light in the operation room is turned off and the doctor comes out . Xia Ning sees that Gu Luan is pushed out . She asks anxiously, “Doctor, how is my friend?”
“Mr . Gu had a gastric ulcer and he drank so much liquor, which caused bleeding in the gastric mucosa . It was lucky that he arrived here in time . Or, it can be a real problem . Miss Xia, don’t worry . The operation is successful . He will be OK after having a rest for a few days . ”
“OK . Thank you, Doctor . ”
Gu Luan is lying unconsciously . Xia Ning is worried . She takes up Gu Luan’s phone and looks for the number of Gu Luan’s family .
She is checking while there is a knock at the door . Yi Yunrui comes .
He looks at Gu Luan and asks, “How is he?”
“It is all right now . He drank too much and got gastrorrhagia . ” Xia Ning gives a sigh, “It is my fault . Director Gu helped me and drank a lot . ”
Yi Yunrui’s eyes darken, “Which client did you have the dinner with?”
“We will have an exclusive interview with Song Yingying these days . We met with her agent today . That agent likes liquor . He brought a bottle of vodka of 80% V/V . Director Gu helps me and drank a lot, so…” Xia Ning gives a light sigh here .
Surprisingly, she can’t find any family numbers in Gu Luan’s phone . She checks for a while and calls Leng Weiwei .
“Chief Editor Leng, this is Xia Ning . Director Gu drank too much and he is in the hospital now . Do you have the contact of his family?”
“Is he in the hospital again?” Leng Weiwei sounds helpless, “I don’t know anything about his family, either . Gu Luan never talks about his personal information . ”
“Then, what can I do…” Xia Ning looks at Gu Luan, who is pale, lying on the bed, “The doctor says that he needs to rest for several days . Do you know if he has any good friends?”
“He has quite a lot of friends . Well, there is a girl named KK in his number list . You can try to call her . ”
“OK . Thank you . ”
Xia Ning is going to make the call when she sees someone come hurriedly . It is Gu Luan’s assistant .
Xia Ning looks at him and says, “You are here . The doctor says that the Director needs to rest for several days . You are his assistant . I think you can make the arrangement . ”
The assistant nods . He feels guilty, “I encountered some urgent things when I came . So…”
“You don’t need to explain to me . You may look after your boss now . ”
“OK . ”
Xia Ning gives a sigh of relief . She remembers something and asks Yi Yunrui, “Have you had dinner?”
Though there is a canteen in the Military Region, Yi Yunrui often hasn’t eaten anything when he comes back at this time . It is past eight . She wonders if he has had supper .
