Chapter 3: The Most Humble When I Like You (9)

  Xia Ye bought some fruit and returned to the ward, but didn't see Tang Su. She asked the caregivers in the same room, and they all said she had gone out. Xia Ye first guessed that she had come here, so she came looking for her.

  His gaze swept back and forth between Tang Sugar and the doctor, his usual cold expression adding too much suspicion, making Tang Sugar's heart flutter.

  She hastily pushed Xia Ye out and said, "I have nothing to do with Doctor Uncle, I just feel that I'm completely fine and don't need to stay in the hospital for observation. Please, Doctor Uncle, let me go home early!"

  Xia Ye's mouth curved into a good-looking smile, gently grasping Tang Su's hands, looking down at her with a soft expression: "What's good? Your face is so pale, you don't even have the strength to push me away! Hey! Listen obediently to Doctor Uncle's words and stay in the hospital for three days."

  After finishing speaking, he looked up at the doctor in charge and asked: "Uncle, is my sister going to be okay? Why did she suddenly faint?"

  The doctor didn't answer immediately, he saw Tang Sugar staring at him very tightly and shaking his head silently. He could only smile wryly and say: "For the time being, no problems were found in the examination. The fainting was due to not having breakfast and running on an empty stomach."

  It was reasonable what the doctor in charge said on that summer night, and his heart, which had been hanging high for a long time, finally slowly sank into his stomach. He patted his chest, took a deep breath, and smiled happily: "I thought my sister had contracted some serious illness, it scared me to death!"

  He thanked the doctor and took Tang Su out of the attending physician's office.

  The doctor in charge frowned as he watched them leave, feeling uncomfortable in his heart for no reason, as if he had done something against his will.

  On the way back to the ward, Xia Ye pretended to be angry and poked Tang Tang's little head: "You must eat breakfast obediently in the future, did you hear? If you scare me like this again, I won't be polite to you!"

  "You've never been nice to me, have we ever gotten along? It seems like you've disliked me since the moment we met." Tang Sugar said with a mix of sadness and joking, her eyes involuntarily reddening.

  At that time, Tang Sugar's father and Xia Ye's mother had just formed a new family. Xia Ye hated Tang Sugar's father for invading and breaking up his previous warm and complete home, so he was resentful of him and never gave Tang Sugar a good face at the time.

  After listening to Tangtang's words on a summer night, he felt guilty for half a day and couldn't say a word. After a long time, he said in a low voice: "These are all in the past, it won't happen again."

  Tang's face burst forth with a beautiful smile like a flower, and just as she was about to say: "It's okay, I was just kidding, don't take it seriously."

  The doctor in charge called out from behind him: "Wait a minute!"

  Two people simultaneously turned their heads back, looking at the doctor in charge with confusion.

  "Uncle, is there anything else?"

  The doctor in charge walked right up to them without saying a word. It was unclear whether he didn't know where to start or had something difficult to say, and his expression seemed hesitant.

  Tang Sugar's heart inexplicably hung up, two hands tightly grasped the corners of his school uniform, a pair of eyes stared at the attending physician, guessing in his heart, he shouldn't have changed his mind, right?

  The doctor and her eyes met, then immediately dodged, after a long time, said to Xia Ye: "Your sister's body has not been found to be anything for the time being, but it is already in a sub-healthy state. You have to take good care of her."

  Xia Ye listened for a moment, laughed with emotion and said sincerely: "Uncle, you're really a good person, you must be happy every day!"

  The doctor in charge seemed to be embarrassed by Xia Ye's blessing, smiled awkwardly, and hastily left. A test sheet fell out of the pocket of his white coat and floated gently in the air.

  Tang Sugar's eyes were sharp and saw that on top it was written: "Tang Sugar" two words, her little heart couldn't help but shrink tightly: That was my test result!

  She quickly glanced at Xia Ye beside her, but he just walked towards the ward without noticing anything.

  Tang Sugar wanted to pick it up, but was afraid that his actions would attract Xia Ye's attention and reveal the truth about the medical test results. If he found out the real reason for his fainting, then...he would worry.

  She didn't want him to worry at all.

  She remembers how her mother used to worry about her when she was a kid, not eating well, not sleeping well, and still putting on a happy face in front of her. Living like that is too hard! So mom went to a place where she can forget all her troubles...and never came back.

  Tang sugar followed Xia Ye to the ward, and turned back to see that the test sheet had quietly fallen into an inconspicuous corner. He thought: No one should notice it here, wait for the opportunity to pick it up, absolutely can't let Xia Ye see!

  Two people returned to the ward, Xia Ye settled Tang Tang on the hospital bed, took a banana from the fruit he had just bought, peeled it and handed it to Tang Tang. Tang Tang pushed it away, saying: "I don't like eating bananas, I want to eat apples."

  "Okay, I'll go wash the apples."

  On a summer night, Xia Ye stuffed the banana that Tang Su didn't eat into his mouth in big bites, and then selected two big red apples and walked out of the hospital room.

  He left, and Tang sugar immediately jumped off the hospital bed, feeling a bit dizzy, she quickly held onto the bed frame for a few seconds, feeling slightly better, then walked along the winding path to where the test results had gone missing earlier. One look and her heart was racing uncontrollably, originally weak, suddenly covered in cold sweat. There, empty and bare, the test results were nowhere to be seen! Who picked it up?

  Tang Sugar was at a loss when he saw a nurse walking over, hurriedly propping himself up to run over and ask: "Sister, I dropped my homework here just now, why can't I find it now?"

  "It must be the cleaning aunt who swept away the trash."

  Tang Sugar suddenly woke up from her dream and rushed to the staircase. She took a look and indeed saw an auntie wearing a cleaning uniform, holding a broom in one hand and a dustpan filled with trash in the other, sweeping as she walked.

  It's okay to throw it away like trash as long as Xia Ye doesn't see it!

  Tang's restless and wildly beating little heart finally calmed down, her weak body couldn't withstand the intense emotional ups and downs, she felt dizzy and numb all over, her whole body went limp, and it seemed like she was about to slowly collapse.

  Just then, a strong arm stretched out from behind and tightly wrapped around her, so Tang Sugar didn't fall to the ground.

  A warm and gentle breath kept sweeping across her ear roots, like a languid spring breeze whispering softly by her ear, making one feel extremely relaxed.

  "Didn't I tell you to lie down and rest properly? Why are you running around everywhere again?"

  It's the voice of a summer night, with a tone full of reproach, but more of heartache.

  Actually, when he just reached out to hold the weak and limp Tangtang, she felt that it was him.

  After all, two people have lived together for so many years. Although they don't interact much in daily life, each other's footsteps, body movements, and breathing sounds have already been deeply ingrained into the other person's heart through the passage of time.

  "I came out to find you." Tāng Táng leaned weakly against him, trusting him to hold her.

  "Looking for me? Can't even wait to eat an apple?" Xia Ye teased.

  "Mmm!" The word that Tang Sugar spat out was sweet and sticky, with a hint of a little girl's coquettishness, making Xia Ye's heart itch, as if the softest part deep in his heart had been awakened.

  He looked at the short and chubby girl beside him with a heartache, and his mind sweetly muttered: obviously she's very good at it, why does she always have to pretend to be so strong?

  He handed over two washed apples to Tang Sugar, one in each hand, and squatted down on the ground, saying: "Come up!"

  "Huh?" Tang Sugar was perplexed.

  "Summer night immediately pretended to be impatient and covered up her shy heartbeat, deliberately shouting loudly: "I'll carry you! You can't even stand upright with your weakness!"

  "That... isn't good!" Tang Sugar said with embarrassment.

  "Come quickly!" Xia Ye ordered fiercely.

  Tang Tang was startled and held back her shyness, obediently lying on his back, feeling hot all over.

  She stood up with him on her back, swaying slightly in the summer night.

  "I... am I a bit heavy?" Tang Sugar whispered softly in Xia Ye's ear, looking very embarrassed.

  "It's all right, it's all right! I can still carry it even if it's a bit heavier!" Xia Ye said with a pretentious tone, trying to appear as if she was walking lightly.

  It was like walking for a century, and finally arrived at the ward. Xia Ye carefully placed Tang Tang on the hospital bed as if handling fragile glassware. Although he was exhausted and wanted to take a few deep breaths, he pretended to be relaxed and said, "There's no knife to cut apples, I'll go borrow one from the nurse."

  Xia Ye found an excuse to leave the ward in a hurry and ran to a distant place to catch her breath, also recovering her strength.

  Tang sugar didn't wait for him to borrow a knife and had already picked up an apple and started biting into it.

  At this time, a cleaning aunt came in.

  No one in the ward took it seriously, thinking she was just a cleaner. But then, the aunt held up a piece of paper and waved it back and forth, shouting in a hoarse voice: "Who's Tang Sugar?"

  Me!

  Tang Sugar stopped peeling the apple and looked at her in a daze, wondering what the cleaning aunt wanted with her.

  "I picked up your lab test results."

  At this time, Xia Ye's figure flashed at the door of the ward, Tang Sugar was shocked and lost color, and rushed towards the cleaning aunt, quickly snatched the test sheet, and put it into her school uniform pocket with lightning speed.

  At this time, Xia Ye just came in and looked at Tang Sugar with surprise, saying: "What are you doing?"

  Tang sugar was stunned.
