The big star has a prince syndrome

"Do you know? Ye Yan came to our hospital last night and is still receiving IV drips in the inpatient department. She's even prettier in person than on TV..."

"Really?! This is so unfair! If I had known, I would have switched to the night shift yesterday. I'm his fan. Which ward is he in? Can you let me go today?"

"Which girl isn't his fan? You don't know, he's really tall and thin, and his face is smaller than mine. Hey~ He's so handsome that it's hard to tell whether he's male or female, while I'm so ugly that it's infuriating~"

Under the guidance desk of the nurses' station, several young nurses gathered together and whispered about Ye Yan.

Big stars are the subject of discussion wherever they go, let alone a group of young girls in their early 20s.

They were marveling at Ye Yan's beauty and their regret for missing out on seeing their idol in person yesterday. The young nurse who had the good fortune to meet Ye Yan naturally became their "interview" subject.

"By the way, what's wrong with him?"

"He has a stomachache, and his face is pale from the pain. You don't know, I was on night shift last night, and at 12 o'clock he pulled over the IV stand..."

"What are you talking about? Do you want to be punished? Go get down to business."

Just when they were talking about the critical moment, a head nurse passed by and sternly reprimanded them. The faces of several young nurses immediately changed and they quickly dispersed.

The hospital has an obligation to ensure that the patient's privacy is not disclosed, let alone a public figure like Ye Yan.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, when the hospital's traffic is not the highest, the inpatient department is especially quiet.

Ye Yan still had to receive an IV drip for half a day today, and he still had time to have breakfast in bed before the nurse came to give him medicine.

He was lying on the small dining table with his coat draped over him. His pale face was half covered by his soft, fluffy hair, and his long, thin eyelashes cast a shadow under his eyes.

In front of him was a bowl of warm wontons in clear soup. The last time he ate this, Xu Qingran bought it for him.

He had been hungry all night, and his favorite meat wontons didn't seem to whet his appetite today. Although his stomach didn't hurt anymore, he still felt a subtle, indescribable discomfort.

"Okay, I'm done eating. Give me the script." He ate three to fill his stomach and put down the spoon.

Xiao Rui had just put away the lunch box when the door of the ward was suddenly opened, and the sound of hurried footsteps was fast and heavy.

As soon as Ye Yan looked up, she met Xu Qingran's anxious eyes as he hurried over, and she had to restrain herself because Xiao Rui was still there.

Xiao Rui didn't know Xu Qingran, she had only seen Qiao Lin, so when she saw someone breaking in, she immediately stepped forward to stand in front of Xu Qingran.

"Who are you?" Xiao Rui asked rationally.

After all, Xu Qingran was dressed in designer clothes, had a great figure and temperament, and a face that was not at all low-key. In just a few seconds, Xiao Rui had already associated countless identities that matched his temperament.

Which celebrity I don't know? Or is it the rumored Pei Sujun?

Fortunately, Xu Qingran can't read minds. If he knew that Xiao Rui suspected that he was Pei Sujun, he would probably go crazy on the spot.

"I'm...Xiao Yan's friend. I heard he was sick, so I came to see him."

“Who told you that? We didn’t tell anyone…”

Xiao Rui was puzzled, wondering if Ye Yan had told him last night. But he had clearly gotten angry after checking his phone last night...

"Xiao Rui, please go out first. He is indeed my friend."

Ye Yan was also surprised. The person she waited for for a long time last night but did not reply to her message, suddenly appeared in front of her after she woke up from a sleep. He was really well-informed.

He suddenly felt much better, and the anger and irritability in his heart disappeared inexplicably because of Xu Qingran's arrival.

This made Ye Yan look down on herself a little bit. She thought to herself, could it be that my feelings for Xu Qingran have reached this level? Am I really a love-brained person?

"We are friends, so you can chat slowly."

Xiao Rui felt relieved only after confirming her identity. When passing by Xu Qingran, she glanced at the wontons in her hand and found that there were still quite a few left.

So he called Xiao Rui and said, "Why do you still have so much food? Give it to me."

Xu Qingran knew Ye Yan's physical condition very well, and would not agree if he only ate so little.

Xiao Rui stared in amazement as Xu Qingran took the lunch box from her hand and handed it to Ye Yan.

I thought to myself, it turns out the boss has such a handsome and warm friend. He feels closer to me than Ji Yunzhi. I thought the boss didn’t like to make close friends. Did I misunderstand him?

Xiao Rui left the ward full of questions and curiosity. The moment the door closed, Xu Qingran immediately took Ye Yan's hand and held it tightly in his palm.

"Why didn't you tell me you were sick? You even asked me to find out from your staff. Can you please not hide it from me next time? My phone is on 24 hours a day. I'll come no matter when you call me."

"Are you blaming me? Then I'll remember that and tell you next time. I want to see if you can really come whenever I call."

Ye Yan was very satisfied to see him, but she still cared very much about the promise.

Ye Yan felt very comfortable hearing that he would come no matter when she called him, and she also kept it in mind.

They hadn't seen each other for more than half a month. Xu Qingran had changed a lot and was growing up visibly.

When we first met, the youthful energy of a sports student in him had faded a lot, and there was almost nothing left. Instead, he had the cold and noble aura that a wealthy heir should have.

It was a condescending temperament. The future successor of the most powerful capital consortium was born with a sense of looking down on the world and being unattainable.

Although he still spoke of his love and care, only Ye Yan knew that the tone had changed.

Xu Qingran, who used to be full of energy, always smiling, and humorous and cute, now stood in front of him with the demeanor of a strong man, making him look like a greenhouse flower in need of protection.

Ye Yan didn't want to use the word weak to describe himself, but at this moment he really didn't fit the word at all.

"This isn't blame, it's worry. Don't get me wrong. Come, eat some more."

Xu Qingran spoke in a soft voice, and then he served a wonton to Ye Yan's mouth.

Ye Yan really had no appetite, but facing Xu Qingran's concern, he still opened his mouth and took it.

After a short separation, they both refrained from hugging each other because they were afraid someone would suddenly come in. After eating two more wontons, Ye Yan couldn't eat anymore and shook her head at Xu Qingran who was about to continue feeding her.

"I can't eat anymore. Go ahead and eat. You probably haven't had breakfast yet."

This was how they used to be. Xu Qingran was happy to help Ye Yan finish his uneaten food, and Ye Yan was used to saying "You eat it" every time.

In fact, Ye Yan really didn't mean to treat him as a trash can. It was Xu Qingran himself who said that he would not despise him. Time made him develop a habit, and it was a habit only towards Xu Qingran.

Because Ye Yan never gives Xiao Rui her leftovers.

"It's okay, I'm not hungry." Xu Qingran smiled lightly, then closed the lunch box, put it in his pocket, and lowered his head to put it in the trash can.

Ye Yan was stunned for a moment as he watched his actions, and was lost in thought when Xu Qingran held his hand again with a look of heartache in his eyes.

"Why are you sick again? Are you too tired or didn't eat on time? Isn't your new assistant a good cook? Ask her to make you whatever you want. I'll give her a bonus."

As Xu Qingran spoke, he gently rubbed the bruised skin on the back of Ye Yan's hand with his palm, not noticing that Ye Yan was staring up at his face in a daze.

So handsome! Isn’t this what I want, someone who is stronger than me and can make all the choices for me and protect me from the wind and rain?

Xu Qingran finally became what Ye Yan wanted, but strangely, he felt that this person, apart from still loving him, was a little strange.

Suddenly feeling a little dizzy, Ye Yan pulled back the hand that Xu Qingran was holding and pinched her eyebrows.

"Are you feeling unwell?" Xu Qingran sat down on the edge of the bed and let Ye Yan lean on his arms and asked with concern.

Smelling the familiar floral scent up close, Xu Qingran couldn't help but raise her hands to hug his waist, and kissed him on the forehead. She glanced at the door from time to time, afraid that someone would come in.

"Maybe I just lay down for too long. It's okay. By the way, have you settled the project plan?"

Ye Yan asked while lying on his chest. His eyes dropped down and fell on the trash can beside the bed.
