Night had fallen, and after those who came to visit and bring meals had all departed, the hospital room was once again quiet.
After lying in bed all day, only leaving a few times to use the bathroom, the rest of the time either sitting or lying down, Qin Yuji felt lethargic.
When she proposed going downstairs for a walk, Chi Jingxuan immediately refused, citing the strong winds outside that might lead to a cold.
She wanted to act coquettishly persistent, but seeing Chi Jingxuan's eyes still red with bloodshot, Qin Yuji immediately swallowed her words.
The bed in the hospital room was large, and for the past few nights, both of them had been sleeping there.
But whenever she needed to drink water or visit the bathroom in the middle of the night, the moment Qin Yuji stirred, Chi Jingxuan would turn on the light.
After a few such instances, Qin Yuji knew that Chi Jingxuan hadn't been sleeping at all; otherwise, his eyes wouldn't still be red and bloodshot days after the incident.
