Episode 12: Rare Fragility

  The more you fear, the more you avoid, and hiding your fears in your heart will only make them grow more wildly in unseen places.

  Cold Moon

  "Are there two new admissions this afternoon?" Su Yixiang asked the nurse at the front desk.

  "Two college students... oh, a boy and a girl!" The nurse thought for a moment, then said with certainty.

  "Check which ward they're in."

  "I know, in room 9 on the sixth floor." Another nurse chimed in, "They were quite eye-catching at that time, many people were watching them. And that boy was so handsome!"

  The nurse still remembered, Su Yixiang and they turned around and left. Without listening, Han Yue and Jing Yue standing together were indeed eye-catching, let alone the elegant and handsome Jing Yue, who had always been the focus of everyone's attention.

  Ye Xue and the others headed towards the ward, while Su Yitian walked towards the director's office. Su Yi looked at his brother with a hint of helplessness and smiled wryly.

  Two nurses were walking and chatting in the corridor: "The boy who came at noon is so handsome, although he's a bit rough, but it doesn't seem to affect his good looks. Ah, I love this type the most."

  Su Yi couldn't help but slow down her pace.

  "So infatuated, I was just assigned to change the dressing for that girl, why don't you go instead." Another tall nurse said. This tall nurse didn't show any excitement, not even curiosity.

  "Oh dear, maybe I can get to know him through this!" The nurse's eyes sparkled, but then dimmed immediately, "What a pity, probably no chance."

  "Yes, you know it yourself."

  "It doesn't matter, looking at it is also pleasant."

  "Arden, want a few days off?" Turning back, Su Yitian stood behind him with a cold face, "Chatting in the corridor during work hours?"

  "Ah...... Young Master." The nurse called Aran suddenly turned pale.

  "Go to work!" Su Yitian threw out a sentence and left, walking into the principal's office not far from them, knocking on the door and going in.

  After seeing Su Yitian leave, Shen Liulan let out a sigh of relief. The tall nurse looked at her with some curiosity, "Why are you so tense?"

  "Because Young Master seems really angry."

  "Is he always like this?"

  "It's not that! The two young masters have always been good to us, it's just that the older one looks a bit more aloof. I've been here for over a decade and I understand them well. Actually, the older master wasn't like this before."

  "How many years? How old are you?"

  "My dad is a doctor here, I grew up here since I was little." Shen Liulian playfully winked at the tall nurse, "I'm also a veteran nurse!"

  Su Yitian walked into the office and respectfully said "Dad" to the Dean, who had a stern expression and an air of authority.

  The director of Su Ren's private hospital, Su Ren, raised his head and said lightly: "Sit down, I was just looking for you."

  Jing Hui closed his eyes to rest, and the worry and fear that had tormented him for an entire afternoon had left him exhausted. Someone knocked on the door, and when he opened it, he saw Ye Xue, Lai Huo Ling, and Su Yi Xiang standing there. Although they weren't close, Jing Hui still smiled and greeted them warmly.

  Jing's current image is very poor, with disheveled hair draped over his neck, a wrinkled shirt, and sand stuck all over his body, like a refugee.

  "Wow, Mr. President, you now really look like a refugee! Think of your usual elegance and poise, think of you..."

  "Crazy girl, that's enough! This is a hospital ward." Su Yi Xiang couldn't help but interrupt Lai Huo Ling's lengthy speech.

  "Jinghao, you go back and rest first, we're here." Yexue could see that Jinghao was very tired.

  "But she hasn't woken up yet."

  "Jing Hui, don't worry, we'll take good care of Xiao Yue." Lai Huo Ling forcibly pushed Jing Hui out of the ward room. "You need to rest and at least go wash up and change your clothes."

  Everything in sight was blood, the mangled car body, the deep water, the dim light, the treacherous cliff, and the chaotic cries... Han Yue suddenly opened her eyes. The dazzling light forced her to close them again to avoid the stimulation of the light.

  What happened in that scary dream? Where is this place? I remember myself... seemed to have fainted in the water, huh, so that's why there was a feeling of coldness and suffocation in the dream?

  Han Yue slowly opened her eyes, and everything in sight was white. Where is this... a hospital? Han Yue suddenly pulled out the needle from her hand, lifted the quilt and struggled to get up.

  "Xiao Yue, what are you doing?" Ye Xue discovered the intention to stop her, and in her haste, she forgot that she was still peeling an apple. The fruit knife cut through her hand, leaving a bloody mark on the floor. Before Ye Xue could even tend to her wound, she rushed over to stop Han Yue's actions. "Xiao Yue, lie down first."

  Blood dripped onto the white sheet, spreading out into crimson-colored flowers one drop at a time. The air was filled with the thick smell of blood.

  "Yexue, I..." Han Yue's heart was filled with guilt, but just as she opened her mouth, she saw that Yexue's hand was bleeding, so she pushed Yexue away and jumped out of bed.

  Brother, so much blood. That day, hugging brother, blood quickly gushed out from between the fingers, spreading and diffusing rapidly, gradually changing from bright red to dark black.

  "Hey, come out quickly, I'll spare your life, hurry up and get out!"

  The stomach was churning violently, and Han Yue crouched on the ground, unable to stop dry heaving. Why, why try so hard to forget, only to still be unable to escape the shadow of that day.

  Ye Xue was at a loss for what to do, unsure of how to react to the scene before her. She slowly approached Han Yue, asking cautiously: "Xiao Yue, are you..."

  Just as he approached, Han Yue suddenly retreated backward with a jolt of electricity: "Don't come any closer!"

  "Why? Ye Xue didn't understand, but she couldn't just leave her alone. "Xiao Yue, what's wrong with you, where are you uncomfortable?" Ye Xue reached out to help Han Yue get up."

  (Cold Moon, I don't want your body anymore, hurry up and wake me up and switch me back.)

  "Get out!" Han Yue shouted loudly, and then she covered her chest and started dry heaving even more severely.

  The door opened at this moment, and Su Yitian and Su Yi Xiang stopped in their tracks at the same time. They saw Ye Xue take a few steps back due to that sharp voice, her face showing unhidden helplessness and grievance.

  Never seen Ye Xue with such an expression. Su Yi Xiang blurted out, "Xiao Yue, how can you——" but the words got stuck in his throat as he discovered that Han Yue's situation seemed even more off than before. Never thought that the always calm and cold Han Yue had such a fragile side.

  The cold moon in front of him, wearing a hospital gown and crouching on the ground, frowning, his face full of fear and terror, his curled up body seemed to be avoiding something, oblivious to everything around him, shrinking into a corner, quietly, with only his own world.

  Come out, if you don't come out now, I'll replace you forever!

  "Hmph, you're indeed fragile and can't withstand a single blow. How can someone like you replace me?"

  Suddenly, a cold moon face revealed a fierce expression, and after a series of inexplicable tremors, it finally calmed down.

  Su Yi Tian looked at Han Yue, her brow furrowed slightly. She carefully took out a handkerchief and helped Ye Xue bandage the wound, comforting him by saying: "It's okay, probably just afraid of blood, that's why you had this kind of reaction." After a pause, "Don't mind what happened earlier. Yi Xiang, take Xue Er to get her wound treated, I'll handle things here."

  Huh? Shouldn't it be the other way around?! Su Yi Xiang thought for a moment, and realized that he actually didn't know how to handle this situation. He decided to first take Xue Er to treat her injuries.

  Han Yue leaned against the wall, barefoot, with one hand propping herself up on the ground, her head hung low, her hair falling down to cover her face, and the pale blue-white hospital gown made her complexion even more pale and weak.

  This thoroughly quieted down cold moon, looked fragile, but vaguely felt that this fragility was different from what he had seen in the hospital before. This scene made Su Yitian a little uncomfortable.
