She goes crazy, he'll cover for her; the darling of the group is someone no one dares to mess w

Fang Li looked down at the straw, hesitated for a moment, and then took two sips.

With her throat dryness relieved, she lifted her eyes to look at the man beside the bed.

"Thank you."

The man, clutching his water glass, leaned back lazily in his chair. "No need to thank me, it's just returning a favor to Mr. Xu."

Fang Li's expression froze for a moment, "Xu..."

The ward door opened, and the man, Mr. Xu, strode in, clutching a stack of payment slips.

"Yo, wake up."

Without a word, the man got up and gave up his seat, sitting down on the sofa opposite him.

Looking at the person walking towards her, Fang Li finally realized who the man was referring to as President Xu.

She lowered her eyes, her face looking rather pale, and turned away from the other person.

Unfortunately, given her current situation, she's essentially caught in the act, and there's no escaping it now.

Xu Fangye pulled up his trousers and sat down on the chair by the bed, his tone sarcastic: "Is this what you call embracing happiness and pursuing dreams?"

"Where's Song Yuchen? Isn't he the most gentle, considerate, and loving of you? He didn't even know you had a fever of almost 40 degrees Celsius and just left you alone on the beach in the wind?"

Fang Li felt irritated and closed her eyes without saying a word.

How could Xu Fangye let her off so easily? He pretended to take out his phone to call Song Yuchen: "What's his number? I want to see what he's been up to. His girlfriend is in the hospital, and he can't even be seen!"

Fang Li quickly opened her eyes: "I don't know, don't hit him."

"Why can't you hit him? He's your boyfriend. What job could be more important than you?"

Xu Fangye dialed someone's number and said, "Go check Song Yuchen's contact information."

Seeing that Xu Fangye was determined to cause trouble for Song Yuchen, Fang Li tightened her grip on the blanket and finally couldn't hold back her emotions any longer.

"elder brother!"

The air suddenly became quiet, with the only noticeable sound being Fang Li's rapid breathing.

The man on the sofa seemed to glance up at her, but quickly looked back at his phone.

Yes, Xu Fangye is Fang Li's brother, her biological brother from the same mother.

No one knew that Fang Li's surname was not Fang but Xu. Her full name was Xu Fangli, and she was a native of Haicheng.

During her senior year of high school, Song Yuchen came to Haicheng to study and the two met. Later, she learned that he had applied to the drama academy in Hangzhou, so she went against her family's expectations and took a gamble to come to Hangzhou with him.

Fang Li had been holding a grudge for years.

The reason she tolerated Song Yuchen again and again, even when Yu Wei bullied her to the point of being outrageous, was because she had left home in a fit of anger back then.

She didn't want to admit defeat in front of her family, and she didn't want them to know how wrong her choice back then was.

Fang Li tried her best to suppress the grievances in her heart, but her eyes still turned red uncontrollably.

She turned to look at Xu Fangye by the bedside: "I've already broken up with him, can't you at least leave me some dignity?"

Seeing his younger sister, whom he had doted on since childhood, in such a disheveled state, Xu Fangye couldn't bring himself to say the words he had prepared.

After a long silence, she couldn't help but grumble, "If you don't want your family to worry about you, why don't you take care of yourself? You had a high fever that led to pneumonia, and you didn't even see a doctor. You just ran around by yourself!"

As he spoke, Xu Fangye grew angry again.

"Do you know that if... someone hadn't happened to pass by and called an ambulance for you, and Han Xi hadn't happened to run into you at the hospital, you could have burned to death on the beach and been swept away by the waves, and no one would have known!"

He couldn't help but raise his voice, but when he caught a glimpse of Fang Li's red eyes and flaring nostrils, he quickly stopped.

The atmosphere in the ward was somber; neither the brother nor sister spoke.

Fang Li turned to look at the man on the sofa.

He is... Han Xi?

So, he came from the hospital she visited?

Seeing Fang Li looking at Han Xi, Xu Fangye took a deep breath and asked her, "You don't remember him, do you? You two were classmates, you've forgotten?"

classmate?

Fang Li remained silent, secretly searching through her memories.

"Back then, his family hadn't moved to Beijing yet. Our two families lived close by, and you two went to the same kindergarten. One time, Han Xi suddenly got a leg cramp..."

Han Xi, sitting on the sofa, frowned: "President Xu."

Xu Fangye perked up, glanced at him as if ignoring the warning in his tone, and continued, "His classmates helped him to find the teacher..."

"Mr. Xu!"

"You came over and saw it..."

"Xu Fangye!"

She immediately gave him a princess carry!

Han Xi closed his eyes.

"You don't know, that video is still kept by the old lady of the Han family. She takes it out to watch during holidays and festivals. It has almost become an essential part of the Han family's holiday program."

Xu Fangye couldn't help but laugh when he thought about it.

Fang Li's lips twitched involuntarily; she was extremely embarrassed.

Turns out they were kindergarten classmates!

Han Xi is a tall, long-legged man, and judging from his attire, he is no ordinary person. I never expected that I had such a connection with him when I was a child.

Princess carry?

That scene is so hard to imagine.

She couldn't help but glance at the man opposite her.

Unexpectedly, their eyes met.

In an instant, Fang Li felt the temperature, which had dropped, suddenly rise again.

She quickly looked away, pretending to be calm.

Just then, there was a commotion in the corridor, and a moment later there was a symbolic knock on the door, and someone pushed the door open and came in.

"Fang Li! I've finally found you! Are you alright?" Tian Chen was covered in sweat and panting heavily from running.

Upon seeing him, a flicker of sadness crossed Fang Li's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. "I'm fine. Why are you here?"

Seeing that her complexion was alright, Tian Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"I called you but no one answered. Later, I had no choice but to contact Brother Chen. He used his connections and investigated for a long time before he found out that you might be here. I searched for you from ward to ward."

He wiped his sweat, and when he saw Xu Fangye on the chair and Han Xi on the sofa, he was stunned.

"Who are these two?"

“My friends.” Not wanting Tian Chen to know that she had been drinking heavily at the beach, she lied: “I had a fever last night and accidentally lost my phone, so they brought me to the hospital.”

"I see." Tian Chen nodded gratefully to Xu Fangye and Han Xi, then quickly took out his phone and handed it to Fang Li: "Call Brother Chen quickly, he's very worried because he can't find you."

Fang Li looked at the phone handed to her but didn't touch it.

At this moment, Xu Fangye, who was standing to the side, said sarcastically, "If you're so worried, why don't you come and see for yourself? Send someone to figure out what's going on. You really think you're a superstar."

Tian Chen looked embarrassed, didn't say anything, and stiffly put his phone away.

"Fang Li, you and Brother Chen..."

"broke up."

"point.......!"

Tian Chen was shocked, his face filled with disbelief.

Fang Li looked at him calmly, "Go back and tell Song Yuchen that he just needs to take good care of Yu Wei from now on. I don't need this kind of forced concern."

Tian Chen looked at her with a regretful expression.

Seeing that he was still standing there, Fang Li asked, "Is there anything else?"

A hint of embarrassment flashed in Tian Chen's eyes.
