Song Xi was slightly stunned, as if sensing something keenly. She looked up, her face paling.
"…Why are you here?"
To be caught red-handed after a flimsy lie, what bad luck.
Song Xi walked to the car and looked at him as he puffed on his cigarette, her eyebrows furrowing.
Honestly, Lou Yuming rarely smoked after intimacy in the past; now it was as if he had developed an addiction.
Lou Yuming flicked the ash from his cigarette, his narrow, dark eyes squinting. "What are you going to the hospital for?"
Song Xi reacted quickly. "To buy medicine."
She added, "Aren't we going to the training camp tomorrow? I'm afraid I'll get injured from the strenuous training, so I'm buying some in advance."
"Isn't it only for three days?"
"Just in case."
Lou Yuming's dark eyes fixed on her. "If that's the case, why lie?"
He was really persistent.
Song Xi quickly deflected, "I was just afraid you'd make a fuss and trouble Doctor Shao again."
This reason was somewhat believable.
Lou Yuming threw away the cigarette butt and turned to command, "Get in the car."
That evening, Lou Yuming was unusually "well-behaved." He seemed to be busy with work, constantly on the phone.
Song Xi was also relieved in her heart. She had an early flight the next morning and couldn't afford to be tossed around by him.
Although she was only going for two days, she still prepared thoroughly, packing her luggage meticulously.
After finishing his meeting, Lou Yuming returned to the bedroom and saw her folding clothes one by one.
"Bringing so much?"
Song Xi said without looking up, "There are still some things I haven't put in."
Lou Yuming: "…"
This was the largest suitcase. Was she going for work or a vacation?
"Is Ge Baitao going?" he asked after a moment.
"Taozi has work. Actually, I can go alone. You don't need to have Xiao Mo accompany me."
"Just in case." Lou Yuming watched her pick up four or five pairs of underwear, his brow furrowing. "What do you need so many for?"
Song Xi replied matter-of-factly, "Training can make one sweat a lot, of course, I need to bring more for backup."
Lou Yuming snorted, "Then this suitcase might not be enough."
"?" What did he mean?
Before Song Xi could react, a bag was tossed down from above her head.
She opened it to find a variety of medicines, for bruises and strains, colds and fevers, everything was there.
When had he…
Song Xi looked at him in shock, but Lou Yuming had already left the room, leaving only a cool silhouette.
She curved her lips, feeling a warmth in her heart.
The next day, at the airport.
Xiao Mo glanced at the time, anxious. "Sister Song Xi, we're running out of time. How about we don't wait and leave first?"
Song Xi craned her neck, looking out eagerly.
Last night, after Lou Yuming went out, he had texted her, saying he would see her off at the airport.
Although it didn't seem like something he would do, Song Xi still believed him.
But after waiting for nearly half an hour, she hadn't seen a single person.
He wasn't answering her calls or texts; had something happened?
She was starting to worry.
The broadcast began to announce.
"Sister Xi!"
Fine, Song Xi lowered her cap and turned towards the security check.
Before takeoff, she sent another text message to Lou Yuming.
【I'm leaving now. If everything is alright, send me a text message.】
Meanwhile, at Yunji Hospital.
In the intensive care unit.
Lou Yuming looked at his phone, which had automatically shut down due to no battery, a dark expression in his eyes.
"Yuming…"
The woman on the bed suddenly spoke his name.
Lou Yuming pressed the button expressionlessly, his voice icy. "She's awake."
