Chapter 1213: Chapter 1217: I Will Remember Your Kindness
Beitang Yao’s hair was a bit messy, and his face showed a trace of loneliness. This Beitang Yao was truly not the person he knew.
Bai Junhao reached out to press Beitang Yao’s shoulder, lowering his voice as much as possible: "Yao, you should go rest for a bit. I’ll have a nurse come to take care of Xia Qingqian. Don’t push yourself; she’ll be fine, she’s just asleep."
Sitting by the bedside, Beitang Yao felt Bai Junhao’s hand on his shoulder but merely shifted his gaze slightly before immediately letting it fall back on Xia Qingqian’s face, saying nothing.
"Hey..." Bai Junhao applied a bit more pressure with his hand before releasing it, softly saying, "Yao, don’t worry so much."
Bai Junhao had come to accept Beitang Yao’s silence. Since Beitang Yao didn’t want to talk, he wouldn’t say much either. He glanced again at the person on the bed before turning to leave. As he was about to close the door, Beitang Yao approached and held it open.
Bai Junhao was startled, looking at Beitang Yao with eyes full of surprise, asking, "Yao, is there something you need?"
Seeing Beitang Yao’s exhausted face, Bai Junhao felt somewhat saddened. His always handsome and charming friend now showed fatigue and weariness before him, truly surprising him!
"Junhao, thank you," Beitang Yao said sparingly, looking at Bai Junhao with a faint expression of gratitude.
Bai Junhao felt even more bewildered upon hearing this. After regaining his senses, he shook his head and smiled, "You’re welcome."
"I’ll remember your kindness." Beitang Yao didn’t like owing people, especially when it concerned Xia Qingqian. He didn’t want other men showing kindness to her or making her grateful to them.
"Haha, your kindness, Young Master Beitang, is not easy to earn, it seems I must thank you." Bai Junhao returned a comforting smile, reached out to pat Beitang Yao’s shoulder, saying: "You should also rest more, I’ll arrange for a new bed for you to rest on."
Beitang Yao was so stubborn and had a serious cleanliness obsession, so a new bed had to be brought over.
"No need, I’ll take her home later." As Beitang Yao spoke, he had already closed the door.
Bai Junhao was left at the closed door, wondering if he had done something wrong. Beitang Yao’s eyes looked at him as if he were watching an enemy.
Bai Junhao sighed softly, gazing at the tightly shut door for a moment before leaving; he had to prepare to return to work.
The military hospital suddenly buzzed with rumors that both the Young Master and President Beitang had fallen for the same girl. Though the military hospital was usually a solemn place, there was always some gossip. However, such a scene with handsome princes and a princess was a first for them! When they saw Bai Junhao approach, they quickly stopped talking and busied themselves.
Bai Junhao wasn’t unaware of their conversation, yet he knew his own status wouldn’t allow him to intervene, especially since she didn’t belong to him.
When the doctor arrived holding a CT scan, he saw Beitang Yao trying to lift Xia Qingqian from the bed, with a wheelchair placed nearby. The doctor walked over, saying: "Mr. Beitang, what are you doing? The patient needs rest, it’s not good for her to be disturbed like this."
Beitang Yao couldn’t stand Xia Qingqian suffering even a little. Upon hearing the doctor, he abandoned the idea of lifting her from the bed, tucked her blanket back neatly, got up to look at the doctor, and stepped aside to ask: "Are the results of the scan out?"
