Ye Hai couldn't sleep.
He deliberately got up early and went to the south of the city to buy a bowl of crab roe congee.
The Ye family had been restless all night yesterday.
Before leaving, he overheard his elder brother and Liu Xingyan arguing, but it was mostly the woman's shrill cries.
Later, his elder brother smashed a cup on the floor, and Liu Xingyan immediately deflated.
This incident was quite serious and would likely require notifying the Liu family.
Although her two cousins' urine tests weren't positive, they couldn't escape the charge of gambling in a gathering.
Ye Hai always played the role of an executor at home; it was Ye Sen who made the decisions.
Therefore, he had no room to intervene in this matter.
However, regarding the relationship between Song Xi and those two cousins, based on his years of professional intuition, there was definitely something fishy!
Ye Hai pushed open the door and walked in, placing the congee on the table, then observed her foot.
"Better?"
Song Xi nodded.
Actually, it still hurt, it just wasn't as swollen as yesterday.
Ye Hai pulled up a chair and sat down, "You seemed to sleep very early last night."
"...Mm." Song Xi turned her head away, slightly uncomfortable. kuAiδugg
A deep red mark on her fair, slender neck was glaringly obvious.
Ye Hai recalled the black Porsche parked outside the hospital entrance, his eyes darkened, a sharp glint flashing.
It seemed her relationship with Lou Yu Ming was indeed not simple.
For some reason, Ye Hai felt a pang of displeasure in his heart.
Song Xi always felt that the way he looked at her was like interrogating a criminal, making her feel uneasy.
She quickly changed the subject.
"What about those people?"
"At the station."
"Are you a police officer?"
Ye Hai crossed his legs, his demeanor less serious and more defiant.
"Not really." He observed her expression, his tone dismissive, "I used to be, but I'm retired now."
No wonder.
Song Xi gazed at him quietly, her pupils clear and beautiful.
"I helped you with a favor, can you help me with one too?"
Indeed, she was beautiful, clever, and courageous. The operation had gone so smoothly largely thanks to her.
Ye Hai raised an eyebrow, signaling her to continue.
"Can you..." She took a deep breath, "tell the nurse I can be discharged!"
"?" Ye Hai froze, "That's it?"
"Yes! I have work this afternoon and can't be late."
This caught Ye Hai completely off guard.
He had been prepared for her to ask for something in return, or at the very least, ask him to inquire about those two cousins. But her request was so simple!
This woman... she was more inscrutable than any criminal he had encountered!
Song Xi's thoughts were actually quite simple.
Ye Hai was from the Ye family, and Liu Xingyan was his sister-in-law.
Who he would help was obvious.
Since she already knew who the enemy was, there was no need to alert them.
"Has your injury gotten any better?"
Her voice was soft and sweet.
Ye Hai paused, looking at her pure and beautiful features, and suddenly felt a dry throat.
He subconsciously straightened his back, "...It's better."
Song Xi smelled the aroma wafting from the table and her eyes lit up, "Did you buy this for me?"
Ye Hai touched his nose, "Mm."
"Wow, it's the crab roe congee from that place in the south of the city! I posted about it on my social media not long ago. Isn't that really far?"
Ye Hai's ears felt a little hot.
"Just bought it on the way." He quickly stood up, "I have something else to do, I'm leaving now."
Before Song Xi could even say thank you, Ye Hai was gone in a gust of wind, hurrying away.
After leaving the ward, he leaned against the railing, his breathing quickening.
This woman was more dangerous than any vicious criminal he had ever encountered!
In such a short time, he was blushing, his heart pounding, and his adrenaline surging.
For Ye Hai, who had never been in love before, this was not a good sign!
He quickly forced himself to calm down.
Thinking of what Song Xi had said earlier, his brows furrowed slightly.
He wasn't someone who liked to meddle, but the more she pretended to be indifferent, the more he felt there was something wrong.
No, he had to investigate this!
