When Lin Yue arrived at the hospital, she saw Wang Yiming, Wu Changyong, and Luo Xiaoshan from afar, all carrying a lot of things.

Looking at her empty hands, Lin Yue suddenly felt that she had been too inconsiderate, so she ran to the hospital entrance and bought some fruit.

As she reached the ward door, Wang Yiming's excited voice rang out, "Brother Yan, how did you get a head injury? Who did this? I'll beat them to a pulp!"

Huo Qingyan glared at him. He had been woken up by Wang Yiming, and as soon as he arrived, he lay on Huo Qingyan and cried, his tears still sticking to Huo Qingyan's face.

The pressure was so intense he could hardly breathe, and he woke up instantly. Before he could even ask about Lin Yue's condition, Wang Yiming started chattering away.

"Brother Yan, you have no idea how much we miss you. We have no motivation to work without you. Get well soon."

Wu Changyong stood by the hospital bed with a smile on his lips, while Luo Xiaoshan nodded vigorously; they both agreed with what Wang Yiming had said.

Huo Qingyan felt a headache coming on. At this moment, Huo Qingxia walked over from the other side of the corridor. She was about to speak when she saw Lin Yue, but Lin Yue gestured for her to be quiet.

Huo Qingxia nodded shrewdly, then walked into the ward. "What's all the noise about? Don't you know this is a hospital? Patients need quiet. If you want to stay here, then keep quiet. If you can't, then get out."

She turned to Huo Qingyan and said, "How are you feeling? The doctor is very busy right now, he's performing surgery. He'll come to see you when he's done. He said you should be fine now that you're awake."

She attached the IV drip to Huo Qingyan, inserted the needle, and turned to walk out of the ward, completing the whole action in one smooth motion.

Wang Yiming and his group, fearing they would be kicked out, stood silently against the wall.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after Huo Qingxia left. Wang Yiming looked at Huo Qingxia's back and said reluctantly, "Have you guys noticed that this head nurse looks a lot like Brother Yan? She seems to look alike too. I just don't know if she has a boyfriend."

Luo Xiaoshan mocked him, "So you like this kind of fierce person, like a tigress."

Wang Yiming grinned, his face full of infatuation. "What do you know? This kind of woman is charming. She must live a very comfortable life. I need to go ask her what her name is and where she lives."

Suddenly, Wang Yiming felt a cold gaze from behind. He shrank back, wondering what he had said wrong that had displeased Huo Qingyan.

Huo Qingyan said in an icy voice, "Her name is Huo Qingxia, and you are not her type."

Wang Yiming retorted, "How do you know what kind of person she likes? She... Huo Qingxia, Huo Qingyan,"

The air seemed to freeze. Wang Yiming stared wide-eyed and silently covered his mouth.

Lin Yue talked with Huo Qingxia for a while before deciding to go in. When she knocked on the door, Wang Yiming was pleading with Huo Qingyan, "Brother Yan, let's not let good things go to outsiders. We have such a good relationship, wouldn't it be even better if we could become even closer?"

He really is flexible and adaptable; he can easily come up with flattering words.

Huo Qingyan rolled her eyes at him. "I know her better than you do. I advise you not to waste your time. Don't end up crying in my arms."

Wang Yiming lowered his head in disappointment. Only then did the ward quiet down, and everyone heard someone knocking on the door. Luo Xiaoshan was the first to run to open the door. Seeing Lin Yue standing at the door, he exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Yan, Lin Yue has come to see you."

He excitedly took the things from Lin Yue's hands and led her inside, "Come in, come in quickly! Brother Yan just woke up, he'll be so happy to see you, he..."

"Cough cough cough..." Wang Yiming interrupted him by pretending to cough. Luo Xiaoshan looked at him in confusion, and when he saw him winking, he realized that he had almost let something slip.

Wang Yiming pulled Luo Xiaoshan out of the ward, saying, "You two chat, let's go to the hospital cafeteria to get something to eat. We came in a bit of a rush and haven't eaten yet."

Luo Xiaoshan was being pulled by the neck. "Wait for me to put these things down. I'm still carrying some things."

After the others left, the ward fell silent. Neither of them spoke until Lin Yue, feeling the atmosphere was too awkward, finally spoke first, "When did you wake up? How are you feeling? Is anything bothering you?"

Lin Yue asked several questions in a row. Huo Qingyan listened to her and the corners of his mouth slightly raised. "I'm fine. Are you hurt?"

Lin Yue shook his head, his eyes filled with emotion. He didn't consider himself to have a close relationship with Huo Qingyan, yet Huo Qingyan, who had suffered such serious injuries, still showed concern for him. His eyes immediately reddened.

So she choked up a little as she spoke, "I'm fine, thank you for saving me. I feel so bad that you got so badly injured, I don't know how to repay you."

As she spoke, it seemed like tears were about to fall. Huo Qingyan wanted to say, "Then you should repay me with your body," but he swallowed the words back, frightening the girl. He figured she would have a hard time seeing him again in the future.

Huo Qingyan was conflicted. He knew that Lin Yue was already married and that his feelings for her would not come to fruition, but he just couldn't let go of her feelings. He wanted to take the initiative to get closer to her, but he was also afraid of causing her trouble.

So he could only watch her from afar, just like that night. Because he was worried about her going home alone, he followed her from a distance. When he saw that something had happened to her, he didn't think about anything else and ran up to help.

When he heard Lin Yue crying, anger surged through him, and he wished he could beat those two people to death.

Seeing Lin Yue's red eyes, he tried his best to control the urge to hug her and forced himself to turn his head to look out the window.

After a few seconds, Huo Qingyan said calmly, "I just happened to be passing by. I would have saved anyone else too, so you don't need to feel bad about it."

He could only try to make Lin Yue feel better by saying things he didn't mean. Since there was no possibility of anything happening, he couldn't cause Lin Yue any psychological burden.

Lin Yue deeply admired Huo Qingyan's heroic actions. Since they all said she didn't need to repay them, she could only go back and think about what she could do for Huo Qingyan.

Her flushed face was radiant, as if she was trying hard to think about something. Her brows were slightly furrowed, making her look extremely cute. Huo Qingyan dared not look at Lin Yue anymore, worried that he would lose control and do something outrageous, so he could only quickly close his eyes.

Out of sight, out of mind.

Seeing that Huo Qingyan had closed his eyes, Lin Yue assumed he was tired, so she carefully closed the door and left the ward.

Huo Qingxia, who had already changed into casual clothes, was waiting at the door. When she saw her come out, she smiled and took her arm.

She rested her head on Lin Yue's shoulder, complaining, "I'm so tired. I have to run around every day and get bossed around. Do you think I should just change jobs?"
