“The surgery is in progress right now. We’ll have to wait for the results until it’s over. But our doctors will do their best to save him. Sir, please be patient outside. If you need anything, you can have some sweet water at our nurse station.”
The nurse spoke in a gentle and patient tone as she led them to the payment counter, updating them on the current situation.
However, Yue Tingyun was still lying in the operating room, and the outcome would only be known after the surgery.
Although Lin Xiao had anticipated the nurse’s response, the thought of the risks involved in the surgery and the possibility of Yue Tingyun’s death made him heartache.
Unknowingly, Yue Tingyun had rooted deeply in his heart.
Qi Yue looked at his friend’s distraught appearance and felt uneasy himself. He gently patted Lin Xiao’s back, silently accompanying him.
“Do you think this Yue Tingyun is crazy? What was he doing driving so early in the morning without sleeping?”
In front of the operating room door, Lin Xiao grew angrier as he thought about it. If it weren’t for Yue Tingyun driving so early like a fool, could he have been in an accident?
Watching his friend angrily scold Yue Tingyun, Qi Yue neither agreed nor denied. Right now, Lin Xiao needed to vent his shocked emotions.
And Qi Yue not only had to take care of Lin Xiao’s mood but also pondered over what he had seen with Secretary Zhang this morning.
Especially with Lin Xiao’s current emotional state, it still had some influence on him.
Repeatedly reminding Qi Yue, that human life was so fragile. A slight mishap could only result in the cries of the living.
If Secretary Zhang’s appearance was indeed related to Shen Kuozhi’s knowledge, Qi Yue didn’t know how he should face it.
But it’s possible that Secretary Zhang appeared here because of family reasons. After all, it was only around six in the morning, and it wasn’t possible for the company to exploit its employees by calling them to work so early, let alone to the hospital.
Qi Yue subconsciously denied that Shen Kuozhi was hospitalized. Perhaps it was his selfishness acting up; he really didn’t want to see Shen Kuozhi in the hospital.
“I’m going for a smoke.”
Unable to stand the silence, Lin Xiao decided to go to the smoking area for a cigarette to calm down.
“Shall I accompany you?”
Hearing Qi Yue offer to accompany him, Lin Xiao subconsciously asked, “But don’t you dislike the smell of tobacco since you don’t smoke?”
“I can tolerate it now.”
Qi Yue didn’t expect Lin Xiao to remember his habit even in this situation. He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
“Let’s go then!”
Lin Xiao didn’t inquire further about when Qi Yue started smoking. Instead, he rubbed his slightly weak legs and stood up.
The nearest smoking area to them was on the third floor. After they climbed up, before they could enter the smoking area, Qi Yue saw a familiar face through the window.
Why was Qi Yunhan here?
Qi Yunhan stood by the window of the smoking area, puffing on a cigarette that was almost burnt out, lost in thought.
When Lin Xiao and Qi Yue entered, Qi Yunhan turned to look at them.
He obviously didn’t expect to encounter them here.
“Little Qi, why are you at the hospital? Have a smoke~”
“I’m visiting a friend. And you, brother, why are you here in the hospital?”
“I’m a doctor, of course, I’m here~”
Qi Yunhan handed them cigarettes while turning to look at Lin Xiao, asking, “Who’s this?”
“This is my good friend. We’re here together to visit a friend.”
“Thank you, I’m Lin Xiao, a friend of Yue Yue.”
“I’m Qi Yunhan, nice to meet you~”
Lin Xiao was not in the mood to chat with Qi Yunhan. He lit the cigarette Qi Yunhan gave him and took a deep drag.
The smoke rings he exhaled momentarily obscured Lin Xiao’s expression.
Qi Yue didn’t disturb Lin Xiao but seized the information Qi Yunhan had just revealed.
“Brother, are you a doctor at this hospital?”
“Yes and no.”
Qi Yunhan’s lips curled slightly, giving an ambiguous answer.
Since Qi Yunhan put it like that, there should be some connection between him and this hospital.
Qi Yue pondered in his mind. Since Qi Yunhan was a doctor here, he should be able to play a role in Yue Tingyun’s situation, at least he should know the level of the doctors in this hospital.
“Brother, to be honest, Xiao Xiao, who’s my friend here, came to the hospital because we have a friend who got into an accident. He’s still in the ICU, and we’re worried. Do you think the doctors in this hospital are reliable?”
A hint of worry appeared in Qi Yue’s eyes as he glanced at Lin Xiao, who was looking out the window nearby.
“Oh, I see. You can trust the doctors in this hospital. Not to exaggerate, but this hospital is the top-notch one in Beijing. They can bring someone back from the brink of death.”
At first, when Qi Yunhan saw Qi Yue, he wondered if Shen Kuozhi was about to be exposed. He didn’t expect them to be here for this reason.
Upon hearing Qi Yunhan’s words, Qi Yue felt relieved for Yue Tingyun. After all, Qi Yunhan, as a doctor here, must know more than they did.
“Is what you’re saying true?”
At this point, Lin Xiao, who had been smoking alone, also approached.
“Of course.”
Although questioned, Qi Yunhan didn’t even raise an eyebrow but instead offered a reassuring smile.
“That’s good. If Yue Tingyun still dies, it’s his own fault for not being careful enough!”
Lin Xiao grumbled without much patience.
“Don’t worry, he’ll be fine. If our hospital can’t save him, then no one else can.”
“I have to get back to work. Let’s exchange contact information. If you need any help, you can call me.”
Qi Yunhan shook his phone and exchanged phone numbers with Qi Yue before leaving the smoking area.
“Let’s go back too. The surgery might be finished by now.”
Qi Yue patted Lin Xiao’s shoulder, trying to sound as relaxed as possible.
Lin Xiao nodded. By now, his emotions had stabilized considerably. He had been startled by the news early in the morning, but now he felt much calmer.
When they returned to the ICU operating room on the second floor, the nurse who had greeted them earlier smiled and said, “Mr. Yue is out of danger now. Please rest assured.”
“Out of danger?! How much longer does the surgery need?”
“It shouldn’t be much longer.”
Unexpectedly, there was such good news waiting for them when they returned. The heavy stone hanging in Lin Xiao’s heart finally dropped.
“That guy knows his place. Once he’s better, I’ll definitely give him a piece of my mind!”
Lin Xiao said, feeling both aggrieved and relieved.
“It’s just a pity our holiday plans got ruined by Yue Tingyun!”
His awkward demeanor made Qi Yue suppress a smile. He stepped forward, patted Lin Xiao’s shoulder, and said with a smile, “Alright, alright. We can implement our holiday plans next time. As long as your sweetheart is fine~”
“Hmph! Pfft, he’s not my sweetheart…”
“Okay, okay, I’ll go buy breakfast to replenish our energy. Thanks for staying here.”
After relaxing, Lin Xiao realized he was starving. He touched his stomach, feeling embarrassed. “Go on, go on. I’ll stay here.”
“I’ll be back in a moment~ Can you manage on your own?”
“Of course, what do you take me for? I’m not a child!” Lin Xiao teased, then suddenly stood up and hugged Qi Yue. “Thank you, my dear Yue Yue~”
Qi Yue returned the hug and gently patted his back.
After bidding farewell to Qi Yue, Qi Yunhan took a detour before returning to Shen Kuozhi’s hospital room.
Pushing the door open, he grinned mischievously at Shen Kuozhi. “Hey, Lao Shen, guess who I just ran into? You’ll never guess!”
Shen Kuozhi, with his back to Qi Yunhan, continued to peruse the documents brought in by Secretary Zhang this morning. He responded nonchalantly, “Who did you run into?”
“Guess~”
Qi Yunhan walked over to Shen Kuozhi, making exaggerated expressions. “It’s someone you definitely wouldn’t want to see here~”
Shen Kuozhi finally put down the documents and looked up at Qi Yunhan, his expression serious. “You ran into Yue Yue.”
“Exactly! I didn’t expect you to prioritize your darling so much~” Qi Yunhan teased.
But contrary to Qi Yunhan’s playful demeanor, Shen Kuozhi had already furrowed his brow.
“Is he sick?”
“No, it’s a friend of his who got into an accident and is in the ICU.”
“That’s good.”
Upon learning that Qi Yue was fine, Shen Kuozhi shifted his gaze back to the documents in his hands.
Qi Yunhan couldn’t accept Shen Kuozhi’s sudden change in demeanor. “Hey, hey, hey, why such a reaction after hearing about it? Aren’t you afraid he’ll find out your secret? He met me, you know, and we even exchanged contact information~”
Upon hearing about the contact information, Shen Kuozhi glanced at Qi Yunhan again, coldly remarking, “What do you need Yue Yue’s contact information for? Don’t forget the saying, ‘Never covet a friend’s wife.'”
“WOC, Shen Kuozhi, don’t be suspicious of everyone! I don’t have any thoughts about your partner at all. Don’t let your imagination run wild!”
“Why are you in a rush? I’m not.”
Shen Kuozhi set down the documents and took a sip of warm water.
Qi Yunhan rolled his eyes at this reticent man, raising his hands in surrender.
“Alright, alright, I can’t argue with you. Can we call it a day on this discussion? I should have just exposed you in front of Little Qi.”
Qi Yunhan muttered the latter part quickly and vaguely, but Shen Kuozhi caught every word.
After setting down the water cup, Shen Kuozhi cast a fleeting glance at Qi Yunhan. “If Yue Yue finds out, you won’t have a good time either.”
Qi Yunhan had originally wanted to tease Shen Kuozhi but ended up getting himself into trouble.
Feeling frustrated, he changed the IV for Shen Kuozhi and left with a sullen expression.
“Alright, alright, I can’t argue with you. I’m going on strike today!”
After Qi Yunhan left, Shen Kuozhi’s straightened back slouched slightly.
When he heard the news about Qi Yue running into Yue Yue, how could he not be afraid? Given his current situation, he absolutely couldn’t let Yue Yue find out.
Yue Yue, don’t worry, I’ll be able to see you soon.
