Showbiz Scandal: The Official Announcement of My Ex and Myself

Chapter 523: Tenderness That Moves the Heart

"I can’t be at ease with Yue alone at home," Yue Ling bent over to Yu Xia on the hospital bed, "Your brother will stay here.""No," Yu Xia tried to stay awake, "Brother, you should go back too. It’s not safe for sister-in-law to be alone, and you need to be at the company. He and Xie Qingci are enough here."

Yu Heng was worried about her.

"What if you wake up and don’t see me, and start crying?"

"..." Yu Xia was speechless, "I’m not ten anymore, I won’t cry looking for you."

Yu Heng felt momentarily depressed.

Yue Ling tugged him with a smile, "Alright, you can come back tomorrow. It’s no use crowding here with too many people."

Besides, them lingering here makes the little couple have nothing to say, and the agent and assistant remain silent too.

Yu Xia quickly nodded, "Brother, you need to go back and take care of Yue, there’s a little one in her tummy, it’s not good to stay long in the hospital. If I need you, I’ll call."

After a lot of talking, they finally persuaded Yu Heng to leave.

He Ci and Mei both breathed a sigh of relief, and began to express their belated concern after gathering around the bed.

"How are you, feeling better? Is your head still dizzy?"

Yu Xia: "Much better. Did I scare you guys?"

"Scare is an understatement," He Ci exaggerated, "You were slipping down even when I was holding you up, and when we reached downstairs you stopped walking, I thought you were going to collapse."

If it happened, he might have fallen with her, and both would be on the ground, with Mei just standing there in shock.

"Luckily we ran into Xi Heng," He Ci sighed, glancing at Xie Qingci and continued, "But because he showed up, the online discussion is crazy, all sorts of theories are popping up."

"Were we photographed?" Yu Xia tried to recall, "Where were we photographed?"

"At the neighborhood entrance and outside the hospital. Paparazzi are everywhere, even more dedicated than early morning workers."

Yu Xia nodded to show she understood, and asked again, "What are they saying online?"

He Ci hesitated, then glanced again at Xie Qingci.

"What, is it really bad?" Yu Xia frowned, also looking at Xie Qingci.

Xie Qingci unscrewed the water bottle and fed her two sips, casually saying, "They’re saying you’re pregnant, it’s his child, that’s why he appeared so coincidentally and was so nervous, while I was not around."

If you think deeply, some might even say they’re playing some stable love triangle.

"Pregnant?" Yu Xia showed an irritated expression, "Can’t these paparazzi have new ideas? Does a female celebrity entering a hospital always mean she’s pregnant? Can’t they just be sick normally?"

Blood rising, she felt a bit dizzy again. Xie Qingci quickly held her up.

"Alright, don’t get excited. He issued a statement, and so did I. As for those with no limits, it’s their business how they think."

Yu Xia weakly leaned against him, reaching out to touch his face, she asked, "You’re not angry, are you?"

"What should I be angry about? Luckily he happened to see you and helped, otherwise, I’d be worried waiting outside the emergency room. Just for this, we should thank him. I’m not brainless."

He fed her more water, then screwed the cap, wiping her moist lips with his thumb.

He Ci’s eyes hurt watching.

"Your IV won’t last much longer, after it finishes, just go out and greet those reporters. By the way, can you leave now? With all the hospitalization and oxygen, will the doctor let you leave the ward?"

"I’ll go ask, just to ask some other questions too," Xie Qingci patted her back, "Lay down and nap a bit, you’ll be able to go home when you wake up."

"Okay." Yu Xia lay down, took a deep breath, and closed her eyes again.

He Ci and Mei sat aside guarding her, while Xie Qingci exited the ward, stretching his numb arms outside before heading to the doctor’s office.

Passing the nurse’s station, several people asked if he needed help and inquired about Yu Xia’s condition, some patients even snuck in wanting to take pictures.

Xie Qingci simply replied, "She’s fine," then squeezed through the crowd.

The doctor’s office was at the other end of the corridor. After going in, he closed the door, shutting the onlookers out of sight and hearing.

Doctor Zhang was in charge of half the patients on this floor, and remembered the clingy behavior of these two celebrities quite well. Seeing him, he smiled and asked, "What do you want to ask?"

"Can she go home once the IV is done? It’s inconvenient to stay here."

For a star, these concerns were normal. Doctor Zhang waved his hand and said it was possible.

Then Xie Qingci asked, "Are there any special precautions after going back? Can she use air conditioning? Can she take a bath?"

"It’s best not," Doctor Zhang looked at his face, recalled the nurses saying the two were particularly close, and added a reminder, "Also no intercourse. She’s still weak."

Xie Qingci was stunned for a moment, but didn’t dodge or blush, calmly nodding, "Okay."

His straightforwardness made Doctor Zhang a bit embarrassed, so he explained in detail.

"Her cold hasn’t manifested with coughing, sneezing, or a runny nose, just dizziness and nausea, which are the results of prolonged symptoms breaking out. She was likely overworked before... and this overwork might not only be regarding her work."

At last, Xie Qingci showed some other emotions.

Returning from the doctor’s office, Yu Xia, lying on the hospital bed, heard the door open. She opened her eyes to glance at him and then closed them, weakly asking:

"Can we leave? What else did you ask?"

"We can go," he sat by the bedside, "I asked about taking a bath or using air conditioning when going back, the doctor said it’s best not to."

"Oh."

"Do you want to find a family doctor? Coming to the hospital every day isn’t convenient, the paparazzi are camping outside waiting to snap pictures."

Yu Xia waved her finger instead of shaking her head.

"No need, my brother found me one before, but I’m not used to it."

She spoke without opening her eyes and asked him, "How much longer until it’s done? I want to go home and sleep."

Xie Qingci glanced at the IV bottle, gently said, "About an hour, are you not sleeping well? Should I hold you?"

"No, just like this." She leaned a bit closer, her hand resting on his arm, her body cooling off from cold sweat now feeling more comfortable near a warm source.

Xie Qingci also moved closer, lying on the edge of the bed, reaching out to hug her.

No matter what, they had to maintain some body contact. He Ci and Mei saw it clearly, exchanged a glance, and silently returned to the spot for silent spectators.

Mei expressed with her eyes: They’re so sweet in their relationship, I’m so envious, boohoohoo.

He Ci: You’re right, they’re really clingy. I’m already overwhelmed just recently discovering the happiness of being single for life.

Mei: He Ci, did you really get my point?

He Ci: Yes, usually only Xie Qingci is cloying enough, now Yu Xia got sick and she’s clingy too, the whole space is filled with a rotten fruit smell, I’m suffocating.

Mei: Do you have an urgent need to pee? The bathroom is right there, go ahead.
