Chapter 1545: Incredible Heartbeat

Xu Xiaoxiao seemed as if she had been bewitched; she propped her body up with her arm and simultaneously reached out a hand, intending to touch Jiang Chenghao's eyelashes.

However, she was still a little short in distance.

Xu Xiaoxiao then scooted her body forward.

But Xu Xiaoxiao had completely forgotten that she had already scooted to the edge of the bed.

She scooted a little more, and her body immediately lost its center of gravity, causing her to fall downward!

"Ah!"

Xu Xiaoxiao let out a cry, and at the same time, she reached out instinctively to grab something to steady her balance.

In her panic, Xu Xiaoxiao really did grab something.

She used this to stop her body from falling further.

Xu Xiaoxiao wore a look of relief.

But when she saw that she was currently grabbing Jiang Chenghao's thigh...

With a "gulp," Xu Xiaoxiao swallowed her saliva.

She slowly raised her head, hoping that Jiang Chenghao was still asleep.

Unfortunately...

Xu Xiaoxiao fell into a pair of deep, dark eyes!

Oh, this is truly social death!

Xu Xiaoxiao was filled with annoyance, and at the same time, she let go.

But with this release, her body lost its balance once again!

Fortunately, Jiang Chenghao reached out to grab Xu Xiaoxiao's arm and helped her up.

"What are you doing?"

"Ah? I, I... I wanted to drink some water!"

Xu Xiaoxiao didn't dare to look into Jiang Chenghao's eyes and made up a random excuse.

Jiang Chenghao didn't seem to suspect anything; he helped Xu Xiaoxiao back onto the bed, poured her a glass of water, and placed it in her hand.

"Thanks," Xu Xiaoxiao took a symbolic sip, then asked, "Why haven't you left yet?"

"I intended to leave, but I accidentally fell asleep."

"You must be tired from your business trip; you should go back now, you should still be able to sleep for a few hours."

Jiang Chenghao didn't respond, but instead asked: "You're here all by yourself, aren't you afraid?"

"What kind of joke is that? How could I possibly be afraid? It's you I'm worried about; if you don't rest well today, you won't have the energy to work tomorrow."

"I'm fine."

"No, it matters! Look at me, am I not a negative example?"

As Xu Xiaoxiao spoke, she stared fixedly at Jiang Chenghao, hoping he would take her words to heart.

But Xu Xiaoxiao didn't know that her gaze was too penetrating.

It actually made Jiang Chenghao's... heartbeat go haywire.

He faintly averted his gaze and then said: "Then I'll head back first and come see you again tomorrow."

"No need, I'm being discharged tomorrow."

"There's no rush to be discharged, and you shouldn't force it."

"Rest assured, I'm not stupid; I won't do anything that's bad for my health."

Jiang Chenghao knew that Xu Xiaoxiao wasn't stupid.

She... just liked to act tough too much.

Sighing softly, Jiang Chenghao said: "If anything happens, you must tell me; you cannot hide it again."

To put Jiang Chenghao at ease, Xu Xiaoxiao nodded vigorously, her eyes sincere.

But Jiang Chenghao knew that when this woman made a promise, she was sincere.

But when she actually encountered something...

All promises were just smoke and clouds.

Jiang Chenghao sighed helplessly, gave a few more instructions, and then got up to walk out of the hospital room.

It was already the early hours of the morning, and there was basically no one on the street.

Only occasionally would a car drive by.

The streetlights were quite bright, and Jiang Chenghao used the light to walk toward the parking lot.

The cold night air made his body feel a bit chilly.

But the palpitation in his chest remained.

The moment he had locked eyes with Xu Xiaoxiao just now, his heartbeat had gone haywire!

Jiang Chenghao was not some inexperienced young man; he knew very well what that heartbeat represented.

It's just that...

Him and Xu Xiaoxiao?

Just thinking about it felt incredible!

Also, if Xu Xiaoxiao knew that he was feeling this way... she would probably think he had gone crazy!

Jiang Chenghao pressed his lips together tightly, his expression serious and conflicted.

That night, Jiang Chenghao suffered from insomnia.

He even watched with his own eyes as the sky began to brighten.

By seven-thirty, his assistant called to confirm his work schedule for the day.

Jiang Chenghao hesitated for a moment, then had his assistant cancel all his scheduled appointments, because he had personal business to attend to.

And the so-called personal business was, naturally, going to the Hospital to find Xu Xiaoxiao.

Don't look at how readily Xu Xiaoxiao agreed, saying she would tell Jiang Chenghao about what happened.

But Jiang Chenghao held a skeptical attitude toward her promise...

In the end, he would only feel at ease if he kept an eye on her himself.

It was just that...

Because of the palpitations in his heart, Jiang Chenghao was a bit unsure of how to face Xu Xiaoxiao.

Also, when they met, would he let her discover anything unusual?

Xu Xiaoxiao was a psychology expert, after all, and was very good at observing people's hearts.

Jiang Chenghao was very conflicted.

But in the end, his concern for Xu Xiaoxiao overcame everything.

Just as he arrived at the Hospital, Jiang Chenghao saw Wang Sinian and Xu Xiaoxiao walking together.

Xu Xiaoxiao's test results had already come out; she had looked at them herself, and the values were fine, and the scans were all normal.

She had just asked a doctor about it, and the doctor also said there was nothing wrong.

It was possible that the previous examinations hadn't been precise enough, which was why they had felt Xu Xiaoxiao's condition was somewhat serious.

Once the expert consultation was finished in the afternoon, if there were no issues, she could be discharged from the Hospital.

Xu Xiaoxiao knew that a consultation under these circumstances was just a formality.

It was rare to be able to filter out any problems.

Xu Xiaoxiao didn't want to continue wasting time for the sake of a formality, so she decided to be discharged early.

As for the consultation results, she could just make a phone call later to ask about them symbolically.

It was just that what Xu Xiaoxiao hadn't expected was that she would run into Wang Sinian at the billing center.

Wang Sinian had gone to the patient room first, and not seeing Xu Xiaoxiao, he guessed she had come to the billing center.

As it turned out, he really did run into her!

Wang Sinian pursed his lips and stood with his arms crossed, blocking Xu Xiaoxiao's path.

Xu Xiaoxiao said with forced patience, "Move aside."

Wang Sinian did not move, and he had no intention of moving either.

Since he wouldn't move, Xu Xiaoxiao prepared to walk around Wang Sinian.

She had made up her mind that if Wang Sinian dared to keep blocking her way... then she would stomp hard on his foot!

Perhaps the baleful aura radiating from Xu Xiaoxiao was too obvious, for Wang Sinian did not block her path.

However, he turned into a tagalong, following Xu Xiaoxiao the whole way, and asked with a frown, "Are you really in such a rush to be discharged?"

"Duh, it's not you who's hospitalized, so of course you can talk so easily!"

"Then can't you just endure it a bit longer and wait until the results are out?"

"I've already seen the results; there's nothing wrong, which is why I came to handle the discharge. You people, don't always think I'm being willful; this is my own body, and I treasure it more than any of you."

"Hmph, I didn't notice."

Wang Sinian was being sarcastic.

Xu Xiaoxiao just pretended she hadn't heard that sentence.

The tail behind her was quiet for a moment, then asked, "Then why did you faint?"

"My emotions were stimulated, I was overly agitated, um... anyway, the problem is rather... comprehensive."

This explanation of Xu Xiaoxiao's was the same as not explaining at all.

But some ailments simply cannot be explained, even if one uses the most precise instruments, there is no way around it.

After all, in this current generation, there are still many unsolved mysteries in the field of medicine.

Since the cause couldn't be found, then she would just keep a calm mindset.

Perhaps the problem would just disappear.

Anyway, Xu Xiaoxiao was quite open-minded about it.

However, Wang Sinian couldn't do that.

Jiang Baobao looked at the screen, her heart sinking to the bottom of a valley.
