169: Distressed and self-blamed
Shang Yan's mobile phone was placed in the living room, and when he heard the sound, he subconsciously looked at Xu Li.
"You go pick it up!" Xu Li smiled and gestured.
He walked to the coffee table in the living room and picked up his phone, the note on the caller ID made him frown slightly, but he still picked it up.
Xu Li stood next to the cake, and from her point of view, she could just see all the changes in his mood.
"Where are you?"
"Okay, I'll come right over."
Compared with the coldness and calmness when he first picked up the phone, he was obviously a little anxious and worried at this time, Xu Li saw that the situation was not right, and immediately walked over, saw him hang up the phone, and asked, "What's wrong?" What's wrong? ”
"I have to go to the hospital right now."
"Hospital? What's going on? Who went to the hospital? ”
"It's a friend of mine, I'll go over and I'll be back soon, okay?"
Xu Li was stunned, in fact, she wanted to ask which friend, whether it was a man or a woman, but seeing that he was so anxious and was going to the hospital, he thought that it must be a little serious, and he didn't think much about it, "Then you go quickly, I'll wait for you to come back." ”
Shang Yan nodded, walked to the door, picked up the car keys and left.
Xu Li looked at the direction of the door and didn't retract her gaze for a while, I don't know why, Looking at his departing back, she felt empty inexplicably, and even felt as if he would be farther and farther away from her.
The uneasiness that she couldn't see through soon took over her whole heart, dispelling all the anticipation and joy she had been full of.
She looked back at the beautiful strawberry cake and saw that the candles were almost burned, and she was afraid that the wax oil would drip on the cake, so her first instinct was to rush over and pull out all the candles.
In a hurry, her hand accidentally touched the wax oil, which made her gasp, and she quickly withdrew her hand, because of the large range of movements, the whole cake was waved to the ground by her, even with the wine glass.
What was originally a warm and romantic scene suddenly turned into a mess.
She crouched down in frustration and looked at the cake on the ground, distressed and blamed herself.
The cake Shang Yan bought for her, they haven't cut it yet, and they haven't eaten it yet!
"Ma'am, this ...... Don't move, be careful of hurting your hands. Uncle Lin walked out of the back kitchen when he heard the sound, and was startled when he saw the cake and wine glass that were broken on the ground, and saw that she reached out and was about to touch those pieces, so he hurriedly raised his voice to stop it.
Xu Li's hand paused in mid-air, looking at Uncle Lin in a trance.
"Ma'am, you're not hurt, are you?"
She shook her head, continued to reach out and poke the puddle of cake, scraped a layer and brought it to her mouth, smiled and raised her eyebrows, "Well, it's really sweet and delicious, but it's a pity that Shang Yan hasn't eaten it yet, and he was harmed by me."
At the end, she sighed faintly.
"Please Uncle Lin clean up here, and the dining table can be put away." As she spoke, she slowly straightened up, found the gift box she had prepared for Shang Yan in advance, and went upstairs directly.

in the hospital.
Jiang Qingyun on the hospital bed was pale and a little sickly, with a needle on the back of his hand, and his voice spoke softly, "I'm sorry, Ah Yan, I'm bothering you, I just returned to Kyoto not long ago, and my family is not there, I don't know who to call, I can only think of you at the first time." ”
"Well, how do you feel now?" Shang Yan sat on the chair next to the bed and asked lightly.
"It's much better, it's not as painful as before, it should be the painkiller that works." Jiang Qingyun smiled slightly, and her voice was a little weak.
"Your stomach cramps haven't healed?"
"It's an old problem, I often made it abroad before, but I haven't done it for a while, this is the first time this year, I have taken medicine and treated, I feel that the effect is not very significant, every time I get hurt, I break out in a cold sweat, I can't stand up, only painkiller injections can relieve it."
"Have you eaten for the night?"
Jiang Qingyun shook his head, "Not long after I ordered takeout, this old mistake was committed, what about you?" Have you eaten? ”
"I've eaten it." Shang Yan took out his mobile phone, "If you want to eat something, I'll give you some." ”
"No, I can't eat anything right now, can I ...... Can you pour me a glass of water? ”
"Hmm."
Shang Yan put away his phone again, got up and poured her a glass of water, Xu had just been in severe pain, causing Jiang Qingyun to have no strength in his body, and it was a little difficult to even lift his arm.
He shook the head of the bed and brought the glass to her lips.
"Thank you." When she finished drinking, she showed a desolate smile, "Ah Yan, if you're busy, go back first, I'm fine now, and I don't hurt anymore." ”
Shang Yan lifted his eyelids lightly, looked at the three bottles of unbeaten hanging water hanging on it, and said lightly, "I'll accompany you to finish the injection." ”
Jiang Qingyun smiled, "Okay, I didn't feel conscious of the pain just now, and I didn't hear what the doctor said." ”
"The doctor told you to stay in the hospital for two days for observation, and tomorrow you will have another day of injection."
"yes, okay."
Later, Jiang Qingyun slept for a while, and he didn't even know when he pulled out the needle, and when he woke up, it was already three o'clock in the middle of the night, and the room was quiet, and there was no one around.
She subconsciously called 'Ah Yan' twice, but without any response, she guessed that he should be gone.
It is inevitable that there is a little loss in my heart.
Although Shang Yan remembered Xu Li in his heart and his wedding anniversary, he still waited for Jiang Qingyun to pull out the needle before leaving.
When I returned to Jinyuan, it was past twelve o'clock in the evening.
Except for the night lights under the mahogany corridor and the gentle sound of the wind, the whole villa is quiet.
He walked in, not as warm as before, a breeze blew in his face, making him feel a little cold, and further inside, although the flowers were there, the candles were all extinguished, the rich dinner on the table was cleaned up, and the cake was gone.
All that was left was the bouquet of roses he had brought back from the chair, and the pink roses in the bottle.
He pursed his lips and went upstairs.
The room was still dark, Shang Yan turned on the small light in the entrance of the master bedroom, and he could vaguely see the sleeping shadow lying on the bed, he deliberately walked over with light steps, sat on the edge of the bed, and just wanted to touch the hair on her forehead, Xu Li slowly opened his eyes.
She had always been a light sleeper, and she felt it the moment the edge of the bed sank in.
"You're back?" After seeing the person clearly, Xu Li opened his mouth in a daze.
"Hmm, woke you up?"
"What time is it?" She didn't answer, but brushed her hair, sat up, and pulled the lamp open, "It's almost half past twelve?" How's your friend? Is it better? Does it matter? ”
"It's all right."
"Well, that's good." Xu Li responded lightly, her tone was light, and there were no waves or ups and downs on her face, "The cake was accidentally knocked over by me, but I tasted it, it was delicious." ”
"Then I'll buy you a ...... tomorrow" Seeing her take the initiative to mention it, Shang Yan hurriedly replied.
"No need, it's good to taste it, and it won't taste like that if you buy it again, besides, I feel a little fat lately, and I didn't feel like I was photogenic in the group before, so I have to control it, and the next group will be more strict about the body."
"It's not early, you're tired at night, go to bed early, I'm so sleepy, good night."
With that, she smiled faintly, and lay down again, closing her eyes and ignoring him.
