The morning is warm today; I can feel it on my skin. I think winter is now nearly coming to an end in Shanghai. The sunlight is entering the room through the window. I turn around to the other side of the bed while still closing my eyes.
"Zhao Shiza, wake up. Look, I brought breakfast for you. Wake up and hurry up. Today you'll get discharged from here, don't be late. Quickly eat it and get ready to take discharge from here. And don't you dare forget that you owe me your birthday meal. You have to treat me for that," Wang Ruoxi said in her very happening voice early in the morning.
"Open your eyes," she said.
Then suddenly he came and held Wang Ruoxi's hand and took her out of the room.
"Xu Yuan, what the heck are you doing early in the morning? Did you get drunk?" she asked him.
He exhaled sharply and said, "No, I didn't, but I think you did."
"How?" she asked him.
"This is my girlfriend's room, and you are not allowed to see her first before me," he said in his ordering tone.
"Oooo really? Let me tell you, Mr. Xu Yuan, that your girlfriend is first my childhood bestie, then she is your girlfriend," she said.
"Of course I know and agree with that, but it's my girlfriend's wish that when she wakes up, she sees me first," he said.
"So it's your fault that you are late and didn't manage to fulfill your girlfriend's wish, and I came here before you," she said.
He took a deep sigh and said, "Forget it."
"What? Forget it?" she asked shockingly.
He immediately closed the door of the room, keeping her outside, and he himself got inside the room.
"Xu Yuan, how could you do that? You closed the door on my face. You should wake up early if you really want to fulfill your girlfriend's wish. I reached here first; it's not my fault. You are literally a berserk man," she said from outside the door, while inside he was just ignoring her screaming.
He walked in slowly and calmly towards me. I could feel his warmth, his presence in this room while my eyes were still closed.
"Open your eyes, silly girl. It's time for you to deep dive down inside the ocean," he said to me.
I smiled and sat on the bed while closing my eyes, then immediately opened them and said, "I am already deep down diving inside my ocean."
He smiled and said, "How could anyone look so beautiful even in the morning?"
"Yuan, stop it. I know I am looking messy," I said.
"Who said that? Even if you really were messy, then also you are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen."
I blushed and said, "Yuan, making my Mr. heart race this fast early in the morning is not good for me."
He patted my head and said, "Okay, I won't make it race that much, but at least a little… can I?" he said near my ears.
I smiled and said, "You came. You fulfilled your promise."
"Of course I had to. There is no promise in this world that can break Yuan's promise to his Shiza," he said.
"Okay, so Yuan's promise holds this much power?" I asked him while folding my hands.
He pinched my nose and said, "Yes, you silly girl, but only for his Shiza. Only for her."
I blushed again, but I needed to change the topic as I couldn't keep blushing while he was sitting in front of me. I asked him, "So, I heard Wang Ruoxi's voice. Where is she?"
"Hmm, outside," he said.
"Why isn't she coming inside?"
"Ask her yourself. I am going downstairs to talk about your discharge procedure from here and do some paperwork regarding that," he said. "I'll get going."
"But Yuan's silly girl wants something from him," I said.
He smiled. Without saying anything else, he understood what I meant. He immediately came to me, hugged me, and said while hugging, "Your morning hug, isn't it? The thing Yuan's silly girl wants right now?"
I smiled and nodded my head.
He broke the hug and said, "Eat this breakfast, and after that get ready. Then we'll go back to the shooting set directly from here."
"Directly to the set from here?" I asked him.
"Yes. You want to shoot, right? You are pretty fine, so I think this must be good for you and your recovery. At least your mind will get distracted from the previous events," he said.
I smiled while looking at him and said, "But my distraction is already sitting right in front of me."
He chuckled and said, "You are really something. Eat it, okay? I'll get going."
"Hm," I said while nodding my head.
When he reached the door and opened it, Wang Ruoxi was standing there with her arms folded, looking quite aggressive. Yuan didn't say a word; he just opened the door and went outside. Then Wang Ruoxi entered the room, looking very angry.
I asked her, "Why are you looking like an angry bird in the morning? Did you take my role of being the angry bird?"
She sat on the chair beside the bed and said while taking out the breakfast from the bag she brought, "Your boyfriend is really a mad person."
"Don't say such words about him. I won't bear it, I am telling you," I said.
"You know what? He literally threw me out of the room while I was screaming, and he himself got inside the room saying his girlfriend wants to see his face first in the morning when she opens her eyes. It's basically his fault. He should have gotten here earlier than me, but no, he came late and threw me out of the room. Who wakes up early only for you and brings this warm porridge for you?" she said while bringing a spoonful of porridge near my mouth and blowing on it. "Eat it," she said.
I ate it slowly.
"Don't get angry at him, Wang Ruoxi," I said. "He was just fulfilling my wish to see his face first in the morning. Don't get mad at him."
"Okay, fine, but only for you," she said.
I smiled and said, "Yes, only for me. After all, I am your only bestie."
"Yes, what other options do I have left?" she said.
"Wang Ruoxi," I said dramatically.
While eating the porridge she brought for me, I said, "You know what, Wang Ruoxi? Last night the whole corridor from here to there was so silent, just giving a peaceful vibe. I think the doctors' rounds ended late at night. It was just Yuan and me here last night. It only made me feel that."
She laughed a little.
"Why are you laughing? Did I tell any joke to you?" I asked her.
"Yes, you just did," she said.
"What?" I asked her shockingly.
"Nothing, just your Xu Yuan doing typical Xu Yuan things," she said dramatically.
"Stop being dramatic, Wang Ruoxi. Tell me what things," I asked her.
"You don't know why this corridor sounded so peaceful last night and even now there is no one here other than you and me. Because your boyfriend booked this whole corridor for you so that you could sleep peacefully and soundly. He even placed some of his guards at every staircase last night for your security," she said.
"Did he really?" I asked her shockingly, opening my mouth.
She closed it with her hand and said, "Yes. Your Xu Yuan didn't leave a chance to amaze everyone with his strange actions."
I hit her arm lightly.
"You are still a patient. You didn't get discharged yet, and you are hitting me this hard," she said.
"Yes, of course. Stop saying this about him," I said.
"What? I am not saying anything bad about your so-called boyfriend. He is just giving his C-drama series vibes to you in real life, isn't it? Isn't that what you have dreamed of for so long?" she asked.
"No, I only dream of him being with me," I said.
"Okay, I won't ask you further, otherwise I'll get stuck in your lover's era. Eat it, I'll get going," she said while standing up from the chair.
"Why don't you stay here till I get discharged?" I asked her.
"Of course I will, but there is no need for me here right now. Your boyfriend will barely allow me to stay near you. He captures you all the time, so there is no use of me staying here. At least I can utilize this time and attend my morning classes today," she said.
"You are pretty smart," I said.
She nodded and said, "Yes, I have to be. Otherwise, if I stay here, your boyfriend will make a fuss everywhere. And I know I can leave you with him. You are in safe hands," she said.
I blushed a little, looked down, and said, "The safest hands."
"Now who is blushing?" she said.
"Wang Ruoxi, go, otherwise I'll throw this pillow at your face," I said.
"Okay, I am leaving. Don't get angry, my angry bird," she said. Then she reached the door but turned around before leaving the room and said, "Till then, don't get bored here. Take your phone and open Weibo and see his videos. He recently attended some award functions and promotional events in malls. Your time will surely pass."
Then she left the room, closing the door.
Suddenly I remembered, "Where is my phone? Maybe at the time of the accident it got damaged. Oooo, I need to buy a new one," I said to myself.
Then suddenly the door opened and he entered with his usual calm, soothing smile, which was enough to make my Mr. heart flutter.
I didn't meet his eyes because my Mr. heart was fluttering so badly. He would definitely notice. "Oooo Zhao Shiza, you are impossible," I murmured to myself.
"Did you say anything?" he asked.
"No, I didn't," I replied immediately.
"Did the discharge procedure get done?" I asked him.
"Hmm," he said.
"Okay then, I'll go and get changed myself."
I knew what he wanted to ask, but he hesitated. So I smiled and said, "Don't worry. Wang Ruoxi brought clothes for me, and you don't need to hesitate to ask. It's a normal thing."
Then I stood up from my bed, but I got a little disbalanced. My knees weakened from lying on the bed for the whole day. Before I could fall, his strong hands caught me and steadied me.
"Thank you, Yuan," I said.
"Yuan can never let his Shiza fall," he said.
I smiled and then went to change my clothes.
"If you need anything, you can call me. I am waiting outside the room," he said, and then he left.
I smiled to myself stupidly and said, "From where did I get this gemstone? I truly still can't believe it."
Meanwhile, outside the room, he received a call. He picked it up.
"Mr. Xu, we got him. Should we hand him over to the police directly?"
"No. I am coming. Hold on. I need to talk to him first," Yuan said in his cold voice.
He cut the call and said to himself while looking at the closed door of my room, "Sorry, my silly girl. I couldn't make it till your discharge, but this is really very important to handle. I really don't want to leave you like this, but I have to. Please forgive your Yuan."
Then he left from there....
