When Xi Jiu returned with the food, he was confronted by an angry Ruan Xiaoqi.
The young girl was leaning against the hospital bed, her eyes blazing with anger as she glared at him, her face tense with fury.
Xi Jiu sensed something was wrong, came to a halt, and cautiously called out: "Baby?"
An angry Ruan Xiaoqi snorted coldly from her throat.
Xi Jiu felt a crisis looming in his heart.
He walked over to the table, set down the lunchbox, then sat on the bed and took the young girl's hand: "Why are you angry? Did you just wake up? Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"
"No." Ruan Qi replied stiffly, then asked him with a tense face, "Have you not been sleeping or eating properly for more than a month?"
Xi Jiu: "..."
No wonder her parents left so quickly.
Turns out they tattled on him and ran off in guilt.
