Kai Yuan almost forgot that she had an appointment with Ke Guanyu, so when the call came in, she stared at the name on the screen and was worried.
From the time she left the emergency room until she left the emergency building, she was thinking about what to do.
She should fulfill her promise, but she couldn't let go of Xu Chen.
She had never seen him look so weak that he had to rely on someone to help him. He was tall and had long legs, but when he was lying on the hospital bed, he seemed to be several sizes smaller, like a child who needed an adult's care.
When she picked up the phone and leaned it against her ear, she still hadn't made a decision.
"Kai Yuan, it's Guanyu." Ke Guanyu's cheerful voice came, "I'll be at your door in about five to ten minutes, you can almost get ready."
"That... I'm not home right now."
"Then where are you?"
Ke Guanyu's tone was surprised, and he was afraid that she would say that she couldn't make the appointment.
"I... a friend of mine is sick, and I took him to the emergency room."
"Really? Is he okay?"
"I'm not sure if it's food poisoning or gastroenteritis."
"Is that so..." Ke Guanyu said. After a while, he said, "If he has food poisoning, he may have to stay in the hospital all day today, and if he has gastroenteritis, he has to take a good rest and eat some light food... Then we will cancel the movie date. You can take care of your friend first."
To be honest, if Ke Guanyu directly said that he would come to the hospital to pick her up, or asked her to come to the appointment, maybe Kai Yuan would want to cancel the appointment, but because he said he wanted her to take care of her friends first, she didn't want to miss the appointment.
Besides, Xu Chen and her are not friends at all.
She was enlightened.
It's not like he has no family or friends, so why does he want his "neighbor" who doesn't even qualify as an ex-girlfriend to take care of him.
He never took her seriously, why should she care about him.
"It doesn't matter." Kai Yuan said after making a decision, "You can pick me up at the hospital. I'll contact his family to take care of him."
"Is this okay?"
"Yes, I don't know him that well, but I just happen to live close by and help him."
"Okay... Then I'll pick you up at the hospital."
Kai Yuan told the name of the hospital, and then Returning to the emergency room, he told Xu Chen that she could no longer help him.
Originally full of confidence that she would stay, Xu Chen was stunned for a while, and then a bitterness appeared in his throat, as if he had vomited up to the point where he had nothing to vomit and vomited out bile. His whole throat is bitter.
She really didn't miss him at all...
"I will notify your family or friends to come and take care of you." Kai Yuan picked up his mobile phone and handed it to him. "Unlock it."
"No need." He took the phone away and tucked it under the pillow. "If you have something to do, go first."
"But you are like this... it is better for someone to take care of you."
"I said, no need!"
He suddenly became angry, and his tone was a little excited.
The sudden anger that hit her made her stunned.
"I'm sorry... you go, don't worry about me."
Kai Yuan's lips moved, but she didn't know what to say.
At this time, the doctor and the nurse came over and found that the atmosphere was a little awkward.
"What's wrong? You quarreled?" the nurse asked curiously.
"It's okay." Kai Yuan shook her head.
"The examination report came out, and it was confirmed that it was food poisoning, so we have to wash his stomach first."
"I should have spit out all the food in my stomach." Xu Chen laughed at himself.
"Then add antibiotics to the IV first. If you have severe diarrhea or vomiting, we will add antiemetic or antidiarrheal depending on the situation."
"Okay, thank you."
The nurse put the antibiotics into the IV bag, Kai Yuan stood silently beside him.
After a while, the phone rang again.
It was Ke Guanyu who sent a message to inform that he had arrived at the door of the hospital.
"You can go."
Xu Chen looked at her, and there was still a little hope in his heart that she would change her mind and stay.
But he was utterly disappointed.
"Yeah." After Kai Yuan nodded, she couldn't help but reach out and pat him. "Take care of yourself."
Then she turned and walked away.
Take good care of yourself...
Xu Chen smiled wryly.
It's like they won't see each other again.
But she must have hoped so in her heart.
"Isn't your girlfriend staying to take care of you?" the nurse who took his temperature asked curiously.
Xu Chen was silent for a while before replying:
"She's not my girlfriend."
He turned his back to the nurse.
