Even though the campsite was far, the sports car was fast and they arrived at the hospital soon. Compared with public hospitals where people came and went, this was the private clinic of the Xu family and it was much quieter inside.

Everyone, from the doctors to the cleaning lady knew Xu Shizhou's face and as soon as he entered, a beautiful young nurse came over with a wheelchair. As a result, when Xu Shizhou decided to carry Xia Yao instead, everybody looked at them meaningfully. Xia Yao didn't try to find any excuses and stayed silently on his back.

The young man had very good physical strength and he carried her all the way to get a radio, then placed her on the hospital bed and also washed fruits for her. Xia Yao felt that he was very good but was also a little embarrassed, women in this era needed to learn to be independent and not rely on others.

The ward was filled with a faint smell of disinfectant but perhaps because it was a private hospital, the scent seemed of better quality. The bed was large and there was even a bathroom, a small kitchen, and a living room in her room, just like a small-sized home.

It was very luxurious and for Xia Yao who was still saving money, it was a place she really couldn't afford.

Xu Shizhou was peeling an apple and she guessed it was his first time. He was holding the peeler upside down and seeing his confused expression, Xia Yao instinctively laughed. The teenager looked at her and narrowed his eyes dangerously.

Xia Yao stopped abruptly and said: "It's upside down, s—"

She swallowed back the sort "stupid" she was about to blurt: "Silly."

Xia Yao: Thumbs up for my wits!

If the word "stupid" was a bit rude, "silly" was a bit ambiguous.

The boy who was holding the peeler was startled. He smiled discreetly and turned it up. In the end, he still couldn't cut it well and he angrily put the apple down.

"Let's wait for the juicer."

"Oh." Xia Yao then weakly asked about the medical cost: "How much money is it for one night?"

"It's free." He didn't even know how much it was but he always came here after getting injured in a fight.

"Does it mean you want me to owe you a favor?"

The boy thought about it for a while and finally answered: "It's okay, just give me private tutoring."

It was better to pretend to not have heard anything.

"... By the way, the results came back, I don't have any broken bones. They are still at the campsite, when are you going back?"

A nurse had massaged her shoulder and her leg and she felt much better.

"Are you getting rid of me?" Xu Shizhou raised his eyes and looked at her with a dark expression, "I have carried you for so long but now that you are on the hospital bed, you don't need me anymore?"

Xia Yao couldn't tell whether he was joking or really angry and she softened her voice: "Brother Xu, I was wrong."

She had forgotten she had said not long ago she wouldn't call him brother in this life anymore. Well, the white lotus language really worked.

She clearly saw Xu Shizhou's smile and the silly look on his face. He sat on the edge of the bed and asked: "Is there anything you want to eat for lunch? I will have them make it for you."

What a nice person, Xia Yao couldn't help but think.

***

Xia Xi went back to the campsite after a long time alone. She was so depressed all the way, she didn't realize until she came back her phone was fully charged in her pocket.

Someone in the class had found she was missing but had not made a big issue of it, thinking she had just gone away to relax.

On the other hand, Xu Shizhou had called the teacher in charge very early and had said Xia Yao had gone to the hospital. The teacher was so frightened he almost cried on the spot: Xu Shizhou was mixed with the underworld!

In the evening, some girls went to pick up branches in the forest to start a fire, while the boys went to catch some fish. Perhaps because Xia Yao was gone, Xia Xi was in a better mood and her camping day had gone much better. She accompanied the other girls and laughed and chatted about the latest shows on TV.

Everyone kept silent about why she had disappeared this morning. Because she was not hurt in any way and because her classmates seemed to doubt her lately, she didn't want to claim Xia Yao had pushed her.

Xia Yao was much more injured than her and she realized that injured people were most likely to win everyone's sympathy. For her who was barely scraped, she was definitely at a disadvantage and even if she was telling the truth, nobody would believe her.

Due to her lack of endurance, she didn't bother to move after picking up a few branches. Her breath fell short and she returned to the campsite with her small pile, and some boys happened to be back with some fish when she came back.

Xia Xi noticed Ji Huai at a glance. Perhaps because his appearance was so dazzling, light seemed to find him everywhere he went. The girl stared at him in a daze and a strange obsession flashed in her eyes.

She had long noticed her brother Xia Yuan liked her and she had accepted his feelings. But although the two of them were not related by blood, they were still siblings to the outside world and their relationship could only be seen as abnormal.

But Ji Huai was different. That afternoon when she had seen him for the first time, her heart had begun to pound, unlike anything she had felt before. The teenager was handsome and bright, his grades were top-notch and no matter where he was, he always attracted her.

But he never looked at her.

She hugged her couple of branches and walked to his side. Her eyes were timid and she said in a low voice: "Ji Huai, this... this is the wood I picked up."

Ji Huai faintly glanced at her and replied: "This is damp, we can't use it."

"Ah?" Xia Xi let out a soft shout. She looked at the branch and didn't find it was wet. She thought about it and believed that Ji Huai deliberately didn't want her wood because she had been the one that had picked it up. Had it been Xia Yao's firewood, he would have definitely taken it happily!

When they had first met, Ji Huai had had a very good impression of her and she should have become his favorite person! If it weren't for Xia Yao, she and Ji Huai would definitely be together!

As she was lost in thoughts, the teenager beside her had already squatted down, surrounded the area with stones, took other people's dry firewood, and stacked it in the center. At this time, the sky had begun to darken and the new moon was hanging high in the sky, and the face of the boy under it was even more striking.

He ignited the wood and looked at the flame gradually rising. He kept watching it while it was small and when it grew to a big bonfire, he finally sat down.

"Ji Huai..." Xia Xi whispered and sat next to him.

Ji Huai ignored her and she said again: "I have something to tell you."

Hearing those words, he gave her another faint glance: "Speak."

Xia Xi had originally wanted to tell him all the thoughts in her heart, but at this moment, she was stunned and finally realized Ji Huai clearly didn't like her.

If he liked someone, it must be Xia Yao and Xia Xi really couldn't accept it.

"As you must know, my sister was injured and Xu Shizhou sent her to the hospital." She thought for a long time before speaking again.

"I know, what about it?"

"My sister was injured and the first person she called was Xu Shizhou. Do you think...?"

"What?"

"My sister didn't call me or her friends but Xu Shizhou instead." Xia Xi was a little anxious, she wasn't sure whether Ji Huai was pretending or not to not understand, "Ji Huai, Xia Yao likes Xu Shizhou. Don't you see it?"

The boy who was grilling fish suddenly stopped. His eyes were lowered and Xia Xi couldn't read his expression.

"I don't see it."

Xia Xi choked for a while and even began to doubt her own judgment. Didn't Ji Hai care about Xia Yao?

"Ji Huai, I have an idea." The girl looked at the flames for a long time before speaking again. At this time, Ji Huai was taking care of the fish again and his expression was very focused as if he had not heard her.

"Ji Huai, I have an idea." Xia Xi said again, leaning closer, "We can pretend to be dating. If Xia Yao likes you, she will become jealous and you will know.

The boy turned his face to look at her, his face brightened by the light of the fire in the night. Xia Xi was full of expectation but the boy frowned impatiently: "Nutjob."

He had never heard such absurd thoughts. But the next second, he handed the grilled fish to the person beside him and left.

He was going to the hospital.

"Do you know why I came here to work in the first place?" The little beauty in pink nurse clothes whispered.

"Why?"

"I was hoping young master Xu would look at me, idiot!" The little beauty pouted.

"Ahah, Xiaoxiao! You are three years older than the young master, you are really amazing, ahah~"

"My skincare routine is so good, who can tell my age?" The little beauty snorted, "People keep thinking I'm a high school student when I go out!"

"... Anyway, the young master looks very fond of his girlfriend. I heard that he carried her on his back all the way from the campsite."

"Ah, the young master has so much strength~ Look at his wide shoulders and his narrow waist, he is every girl's dream."

"Stop talking, just now I massaged the girl. Tsk, that body! She has a big chest, a thin waist, and long and white legs. She looks so beautiful."

"Ahah, I didn't see that coming, you drool after girls too!"

"Hush, a handsome guy's coming."

Ji Huai knew the address of the Xu family's private hospital. After he entered, he went to the information desk and asked: "Excuse me, is there a patient named Xia Yao who arrived today?"

The nurses at the counters looked at each other and one of them inquired: "May I know what your relationship to her is?"

"Boy..." He paused, "Boy classmate."

The whole hospital knows we are boyfriend and girlfriend, how come I didn't?

Ji Huai blurted one word what everybody has been thinking all along. The fake white lotus heroine's brain is really out of this world.
