Birds don't know where to fly, your smile is more like a drifting cloud.

Realizing that something was wrong, Lu Yichen called the waiter to explain the situation. The hotel staff quickly opened the door.
Shen Nanshuang had already fainted from the fever. When Lu Yichen picked her up, her body was burning hot and her face was red. Even her breathing was weak.
Lu Yichen carried Shen Nanshuang and rushed out, rushing all the way to the hospital.
Shen Nanshuang's fever was caused by a cold, but it was discovered too late, which led to her pneumonias and required hospitalization.
Lu Yichen sat on the chair beside the bed and accompanied Shen Nanshuang quietly.
When Shen Nanshuang woke up, it was already evening.
She closed her eyes and opened them again. She wanted to speak, but she realized that her throat was very dry and hoarse.
After a while, the door of the ward let out a bang!”Then, the blinding light blinded Shen Nanshuang.
Xiao Zimo rushed in, accompanied by an anxious and caring shout," Shuang Shuang, how are you?"
Shen Nanshuang subconsciously raised her hand to block the light above her head. At this moment, Xiao Zimo had already arrived beside her.
"Shuang Shuang, what's wrong? Why did she suddenly get hospitalized?" Although it was early winter, Xiao Zimo was still sweating profusely and his breathing was unstable.
Shen Nanshuang adjusted to the light and slowly put her hand down.
Before she could say anything, Xiao Zimo had already noticed that the needle on the back of her hand that she had just raised had blood flowing back. He quickly held her hand down.
"Don't move. The blood is flowing back." Xiao Zimo reminded her softly and then pressed the nurse's bell at the bedside.
The nurse came quickly and fixed the IV drip on Shen Nanshuang's hand.
The nurse was dragged by Xiao Zimo and asked about her condition for a long time. She only left after explaining everything in detail.
Shen Nanshuang lay on the bed and watched him until the ward returned to its usual silence.
"Why are you here?" Shen Nanshuang moved slightly, wanting to sit up.
She had only said one sentence when Shen Nan Shuang felt her throat become dry and hoarse.
Xiao Zimo quickly knew what she was going to do. He helped Shen Nanshuang to roll up the bed and put two pillows behind her to make her sit more comfortably.
Under Shen Nanshuang's gaze, Xiao Zimo pulled out a chair and sat down by the bed.
"I wanted to give you a surprise, but I didn't expect to be shocked by you instead.”Xiao Zimo said helplessly.
His face was no longer the same as before, which always had a joking expression. Instead, it was a rare serious expression.
"I'm fine. It's just a fever.”Shen Nan Shuang endured the thirst in her throat and said.
Xiao Zimo noticed Shen Nanshuang's slightly hoarse voice. His gaze fell on Shen Nanshuang's lips that were slightly dry due to her fever and dehydration. He stood up again.
He took a bottle of water from the side and poured a cup of water for Shen Nanshuang, bringing it to her lips."You didn't even tell me when you were thirsty. Isn't it uncomfortable to endure it?”
Shen Nanshuang drank the water from Xiao Zimo's hand, mouthful by mouthful.
"You're already lying in the hospital and you still say that you're fine. Then what do you think is considered a problem? Did you hear what the nurse said just now? You think it's a small matter?”
Putting down the cup, Xiao Zimo continued to chatter, feeling extremely anxious.
" Before I came here, I told you that I could take care of you if I followed you. You said no, but now…" Xiao Zimo paced back and forth beside the bed, his gaze falling on Shen Nanshuang's pale face from time to time.
Then, his handsome brows furrowed even more tightly.
Shen Nanshuang couldn't help but laugh when she saw Xiao Zimo's expression.
" Alright, sit down. I'm fine, aren't I? Cough cough…"
Shen Nanshuang couldn't help but cough.
Xiao Zimo instantly stopped walking back and forth. He raised his hand to gently calm her down and poured water for her."Alright, alright, alright. I won't say anything else. Don't be agitated.”
"By the way, the nurse just said that you have to take your medicine at eight o'clock. Let me check the time.”Xiao Zimo quickly took out his phone to check the time.
"Just in time, just in time. It's two minutes past eight.”Xiao Zimo hurriedly put down his phone and went to look for the medicine on Shen Nanshuang's bedside table.
He was a carefree noble young master, but he was extremely careful when it came to Shen Nanshuang.
He had clearly seen the dosage of each medicine, afraid that he would make a mistake.
He carefully put the medicine into Shen Nanshuang's mouth and helped her drink water…
It was eight o'clock in the evening of winter, and night had already fallen.
Shen Nanshuang's gaze passed through the transparent window and landed on the dark outside.
Good medicine tasted bitter. The moment the small pill entered his mouth, his mouth was filled with bitterness, all the way to his heart.
Xiao Zimo thoughtfully fetched some water for Shen Nanshuang to wipe her hands and face, even though she repeatedly emphasized that she did not need it.
However, the stubborn Xiao Zimo would definitely not listen to her this time…
Under the cold night sky, an exceptionally lonely figure stood outside the dark and quiet ward.
The brightly-colored bellflower in his hand paled in comparison.
Lu Yichen's burning gaze fell on the two people in the ward.
She watched as Xiao Zimo took good care of her and fed her water and medicine.
Shen Nanshuang revealed a sincere smile as she watched Xiao Zimo ramble on.
The two of them were so tacit, intimate, and connected.
Even if Nan Shuang didn't say anything, Xiao Zimo could understand her needs and thoughts…
Lu Yichen felt as if he was in an icehouse.
An endless chill spread from his surroundings, invading every pore on his body, penetrating through his skin and cells into his blood.
It was as if he finally understood what he had missed when he left three years ago.
What Lu Yichen pushed away was far more than just a relationship that was difficult to part with.
He and Shen Nanshuang had lost more than three years.
Those things that were more important than time, perhaps no matter how many more three years it took, they would not be able to make up for it.
Because…
The habits and trust that Shen Nanshuang had carved into her heart during those three years, the tacit understanding and reliance that had been integrated into her bones and blood.
Everything about her had nothing to do with the name Lu Yichen.
The cruelest revenge was not the same way Shen Nanshuang treated Lu Yichen.
Instead, it was at a specific moment, a specific minute, and a specific second.
She suddenly realized that the person closest to her was no longer you.
When she was missing in her life, there was already someone else who took care of her meticulously and gave her an unwavering support.
Lu Yichen leaned against the wall by the door until dawn…
