Chapter 258: Unni, take your medicine!!!

Seoul in 2025.

The golf course in the early morning was shrouded in a thin layer of mist.

The lawn was glowing with soft green in the morning light, as if every blade of grass was stained with dew that had not yet dissipated.

The air was fresh and cool, the hills in the distance were looming, and a few birds occasionally skimmed across the lake, flapping their wings gently, splashing fine ripples.

Li Juli, who hadn't exercised for a long time, specially changed into a clean and neat white sleeveless sports top today, paired with a light blue pleated skirt.

The slender leg lines were particularly eye-catching in the morning light, and under her feet was a pair of limited-edition golf shoes.

The morning sun fell gently on her face, her skin was delicate and firm, setting off the whole person still bright, and she couldn't see that she was already in her thirties.

It's just that between her eyebrows, there was always a lingering worry, like a faint shadow.

The Little Dragon Cub standing side by side with her looked full of spirit.

The red sports POLO shirt set off a healthy complexion, her eyebrows revealed a bit of vigorous vitality, and that kind of confidence that she could raise the club to hit the ball at any time made her particularly bright on this green field.

In contrast, Park Xiaomin, who was walking behind the two, looked much haggard.

She was wearing a set of black sportswear, her waist was still slender, and her figure was maintained quite well.

But even if there was light makeup on her face, it was still difficult to hide the fatigue brought by lack of sleep. A trace of fatigue flashed in her eyes from time to time.

As a newlywed, her current complexion and mental state were somewhat contrary to the word "happiness."

Taking advantage of the gap when Park Xiaomin went to prepare to get the club, Li Juli seized the opportunity, grabbed the arm of the Little Dragon Cub beside her, and asked, "Jiyeon, do you know what Xiuyuan is doing recently? He doesn't answer the phone, but he sent me a message saying he has been busy recently and will have time in two days."

This question was asked, and the Little Dragon Cub was obviously stunned.

Her expression had a moment of unnaturalness, as if she had been hit by something sensitive.

As a "member," she of course knew Lin Xiuyuan's recent situation best, and even as a witness on the scene, she understood the entanglement between Lin Xiuyuan and Jessica better than anyone else at this moment.

But she couldn't say half a word about these things.

So, she had to smile awkwardly, her eyes dodged slightly, and she shook her head, "Ah, unni, I don't know very well either. Rehearsal has been busy recently, and I rarely look for Xiuyuan."

Just then, Park Xiaomin walked back slowly, turning the club casually in her hand, her eyes looking back and forth between the two, and the corners of her mouth hooked a meaningful arc.

"I said, Jiyeon, unni, is the relationship between you two and Lin Xiuyuan getting more and more ambiguous?"

Her tone carried a bit of deliberate teasing, but her eyes were sharp, as if she was investigating something, and the corners of her mouth pursed slightly, "I thought you were just looking for freshness before, just like raising a little milk dog, it has a time limit, at most a one-night stand, or a few times and then scattered."

Speaking of this, she hummed lightly, her expression was a bit strange, as if carrying a trace of depression and dissatisfaction that could not be concealed, "But looking at it now, you all seem to intend to hold him tight, and even... go in a deeper direction. Tell me, you wouldn't be serious, right?"

The voice fell, and the golf course was quiet for a few seconds.

Li Juli and the Little Dragon Cub looked at each other, but neither responded immediately.

Among them, Li Juli curled her lips gently, revealing a meaningful smile, and replied faintly, "Xiaomin, you are already married, don't ask about these things. It's useless to ask, the most important thing is to know too much, but it will make you more depressed, go play ball."

"Tsk~"

Park Xiaomin, who didn't expect to be choked like this, rolled her eyes instantly, turned her face away angrily, hummed a few times, and vented all that depression on the club in her hand.

Then she walked straight to the side, swung the club fiercely, and the white golf ball broke through the air and fell heavily on the grass in the distance.

The atmosphere calmed down slightly. But Li Juli didn't let the Little Dragon Cub go because of this.

When Park Xiaomin left and her back gradually melted into the golf course, Li Juli's gaze fell on the Little Dragon Cub again, her eyes carrying a bit of exploration, and suddenly asked in a low voice, "Jiyeon, have you entered Xiuyuan's small circle?"

This sentence was like a heavy hammer hitting the vital point, making the Little Dragon Cub's heart shake, her face changed involuntarily, and the panic in her eyes was too late to cover up.

So that moment of panic was enough for Li Juli to produce an answer in her heart.

The doubt in her heart was completely ignited, so she learned the teasing tone of Park Xiaomin just now, deliberately hummed a few times, but couldn't hide the annoyance and depression in the bottom of her eyes.

"I knew it, it's just as I guessed. Your current situation is exactly the same as Enjing's at the beginning, it's annoying me. No, why did you enter his circle? Is it because you slept together? I also slept, why is it not okay?"

Her voice carried half-true and half-false anger, but also mixed with a trace of coquettish anger.

The tail of the language was slightly elongated, indistinguishable from anger or verification, or teasing.

"Ah, unni, can you not be so funny? It has nothing to do with this." The Little Dragon Cub obviously didn't expect Li Juli to be suddenly excited, so she quickly reached out to appease, her tone slowed down, as if afraid that the other party would misunderstand, "Really, don't think too much..."

Then she tried hard to think about how to explain this problem...

A sharp ringtone suddenly came from a mobile phone in the electric car over there.

The abrupt sound broke the tension in the air, making both of them look over subconsciously.

And the Little Dragon Cub, who recognized it as her ringtone, walked over, lowered her head and glanced at the caller ID, her eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes.

It was not Sweet Enjing, but her assistant.

"Hello?" She answered the phone.

The originally calm tone suddenly sank after a few seconds.

The news from the other end of the phone made her face change drastically.

Breathing with a heavy weight that could not be suppressed, her fingers holding the mobile phone even tightened slightly, and even her voice carried a tremor, "What? When did it happen?"

After hanging up the phone, the Little Dragon Cub's face was still worried.

Then she quickly turned her head to look at the two unnis over there, "Unni~ Enjing unni's old injury recurred, and the ligament tore again, and she has been sent to the hospital urgently."

After hearing this news, the three of them had no heart to play ball.

So they quickly put away the clubs, didn't even care about changing clothes, packed their things in a hurry, drove, and rushed to the hospital.

The three who arrived at the hospital quickly also saw the figure lying on the hospital bed.

In the hospital ward, the smell of disinfectant permeated, and the air carried a depressing coldness.

Sweet Enjing leaned on the hospital bed, her face a bit pale, and her lips were light.

That short hair, which was neatly trimmed, was slightly messy at this time, and the hospital gown worn on her body looked particularly thin, one hand was on an IV drip, and the other hand was holding a mobile phone.

But even so, she still tried to raise the corners of her mouth and squeezed out a reluctant smile at the few people who pushed the door in.

"What's the situation, Enjing, why did you tear your ligament again?"

Li Juli's heart tightened, she walked quickly to the bedside, her eyes were slightly red.

Then she reached out and held Sweet Enjing's small hand, which was cold because of the low temperature of the hospital ward's air conditioning, tightly, her tone carrying reproach and heartache, "Why aren't you careful? Didn't this injury heal long ago?"

"It's nothing big, don't make a fuss."

Sweet Enjing tried to pretend to be relaxed, and also pointed to the name of the little assistant, "Enxi, didn't I tell you not to tell unni and the others? As a result, it still can't be hidden."

The little assistant who was named looked innocent, shrank her neck, and whispered, "Unni, I... even if I don't say it, it can't be hidden for long."

At this time, the Little Dragon Cub sighed low on the side, her expression full of heartache, "Unni, this is because you practiced too hard recently, plus the crew filming around the clock, your body can't stand it, right?"

She, who had been sick for a long time and became a doctor, seemed to have guessed the general situation.

"Well, yes, Jiyeon unni, the doctor said so too."

The little assistant added quickly, as if wanting to reduce the pressure for Enjing.

But Sweet Enjing just remained silent, her eyes drifting, as if she didn't take this injury to heart.

Just after learning about this problem, although Park Xiaomin had fatigue in her eyes, she was also worried and sighed, "Ya~ Enjing, you wouldn't still be worried about the performance, right? Thinking about work at this time, are you going to worry us to death? At worst, slow it down."

On the hospital bed, Sweet Enjing pursed her lips, her eyes flickering, "Mainly because this stage is too important, everyone has been waiting for a long time, I don't want to affect the group's performance because of me..."

Before Sweet Enjing could continue, Li Juli, who was sitting on the edge of the hospital bed, interrupted her, her tone firm, "Don't talk nonsense, Enjing. No matter how important the stage is, it's not as important as you, and the group belongs to everyone, not supported by you alone, we can go on stage."

The air in the ward solidified once.

Just then, the Little Dragon Cub suddenly fell silent, and at the same time, a rather strange and outrageous thought flashed in her heart.

A few seconds later, she suddenly approached Sweet Enjing, lowered her head mysteriously, and whispered a sentence in her ear.

At that moment, Sweet Enjing's eyes widened suddenly, and her breathing stopped for half a beat.

Then she turned her eyes to look at the Little Dragon Cub, her face full of shock and disbelief, and asked urgently in a low voice, "Jiyeon... are you serious? That thing... is it really useful?"

The Little Dragon Cub raised her eyebrows, the corners of her eyes carrying a bit of cunning, and her lips pursed, "Try it, I'm not 100% sure, but how will you know if you don't try? What if, right, unni. Do you also want to go on stage, right?"

At this time, the Little Dragon Cub was like a devil from hell, whispering and tempting the patient in front of her.

And Sweet Enjing stared at her blankly, both surprised and couldn't help but surge with an unspeakable heartbeat.

With this whisper, the air in the ward seemed to have waves, and the originally depressing atmosphere was stirred bit by bit, as if some unspeakable secret was surging quietly.

Only Park Xiaomin and Li Juli looked at each other, and they both saw the depression in each other's eyes.

Being "isolated" again.

Compared to Park Xiaomin's habit, Li Juli was more crazy.

Isolated me after eating and wiping clean???

……

……

In the apartment in 2013 not long ago.

The air in the early morning still left a trace of ambiguous atmosphere that had not dissipated last night.

Lin Xiuyuan and Jessica got up, the atmosphere was still subtle, as if a subtle atmosphere was floating in the air.

Because according to the past, the two would consciously stagger the time when washing, maintaining a sense of distance.

But today Lin Xiuyuan seemed to be too lazy to follow the convention, pushed open the bathroom door directly, almost brushed past Jessica's back, and walked in without hesitation.

"Clatter..."

As the strong water flow sounded suddenly, it instantly spread in the quiet space.

It also made Jessica, who was lowering her head to brush her teeth in front of the mirror, shake her small hand, and the toothpaste foam almost swallowed into her stomach.

Immediately afterward, she raised her head abruptly, her ear tips flushed quickly, and her whole face looked like a shrimp that had been scalded, blushing in the mirror.

"Ya~ bastard, I'm washing up. Can't you wait a bit? Isn't there a toilet outside?"

She scolded fiercely on her lips, but her tone carried a slight tremor, and even the anger was wrapped in a trace of sweet coquettishness, without any real seriousness.

But Lin Xiuyuan, who was scolded, was a light-hearted appearance, and after solving the physiological problem, he walked straight to her side.

Before she could react, he suddenly reached out, wrapped his arms around her shoulders and waist from behind, took the opportunity to rinse his hands under the faucet, and let the water droplets splash on her snow-white nightdress.

This sudden situation made Jessica freeze for a moment, and just wanted to shake it off, but saw him lower his head and smile, and wiped his wet palms gently on her nightdress.

That movement was overly ambiguous, as if carrying a bit of intentionality.

He didn't say anything, but his eyes clearly wrote a line of words: You are really easy to use.

This action made Jessica stomp her feet in anger, her pink cheeks burned hotter, and she kept scolding angrily in her mouth.

"Ya, Lin Xiuyuan! You pervert, bastard!"

But when she looked up, the bastard was already in a peaceful state, humming a little tune and walking out of the door, leaving her alone to face the face in the mirror that was ashamed to the extreme.

And when Jessica came out after washing up, she was also unusual today.

In the past, she would always drape a jacket to cover her pajamas, but this time she actually walked out wearing that thin nightdress with a bit of erotic meaning. The fabric was soft, swaying with her steps, making her figure look more attractive.

In the living room, Lin Xiuyuan was looking up and drinking water at this time.

Jessica, who walked out, looked at it twice, walked straight over, reached out and snatched the cup, drank a few sips unceremoniously, and wiped the corners of her lips casually with the back of her hand.

That movement was as natural as if she had been used to it, but it carried a bit of ambiguity.

"What are we eating for breakfast today?" She looked up at him, her tone casual, but hiding a bit of temptation.

Lin Xiuyuan was not angry when she snatched the cup, but looked at the refrigerator and spread his hands, "How about toast?"

Jessica, who didn't care about these breakfasts a few days ago, frowned in disgust this time, "Toast again, can't you change the taste?"

Lin Xiuyuan, who faced this answer, couldn't help laughing, but was too lazy to refute, just pushed the refrigerator door, shrugged his shoulders, "There are only these in the refrigerator, or... tuna kimchi fried rice?"

As soon as the words fell, the tail sound was still dragging the tone of a bad smile.

Jessica, who was played with the stalk, reacted immediately, and the pink fist fell on his shoulder, hammering a few times, coquettishly, "Ya, you are teasing me!"

She scolded fiercely on her lips, but the falling fist was as light as a kitten scratching an itch.

Then she hummed and acted like a rascal, not wanting to eat toast.

If it were a few days ago, Lin Xiuyuan would definitely not pay attention to her.

But the absurd "spring dream" last night made him feel inexplicably comfortable, so looking at the heroine Jessica in front of him at this time, he also felt that her coquettishness at this moment was particularly pleasing to the eye.

So after thinking for a while, he said with a smile, "Then why don't we go over and eat? There are many takeaways over there, and the variety is rich."

Jessica heard this, her eyes became strange, and the corners of her mouth picked, "No way, you only let me go after sleeping with you? You are willing to let me go? If I knew it was so simple, you should have said it earlier, I would have..."

Halfway through the words, she stopped abruptly, and her heart was as hot as fire.

The words "I would have" almost rushed out, but her pride made her swallow them hard.

Lin Xiuyuan stared at her with interest, raised his eyebrows, his smile full of bad intentions, "What would you have done earlier?"

Jessica, who was teased until her cheeks were hot, rolled her eyes at him charmingly, her eyes carrying a bit of angry coquettishness.

Then she pretended to be calm and "hummed," trying to use coldness to cover up the panic in her heart, and by the way, she poisoned and added a knife, "If I knew, I should have let that dog bite me earlier, it's really a waste of time."

That tone seemed to be complaining, but it carried a coquettish meaning in the softness, as if even scolding people carried a bit of provocation.

After a small bickering, Lin Xiuyuan didn't continue to tease, but did what he said, and really took Jessica back to the villa in 2025.

This is the first time Jessica has stepped back into this time and space that belongs to her since that mouth-hi a few days ago.

In a sense, it can be considered to have terminated the "imprisonment play" game called "boiling the eagle" in advance. There is a kind of unspeakable relaxation and emotional ups and downs in her heart, but she forcibly pretended to be nothing on the surface.

After the two sat on the sofa, they ordered breakfast that each group loved.

Taking advantage of the fact that the takeaway had not arrived, they took out their mobile phones and brushed them, and the living room instantly quieted down, only the light clicking sound of the screen from time to time.

After about half an hour, breakfast finally arrived.

After Jessica tore open the packaging, she bit the fried dough sticks and steamed buns in two or three bites, while chewing and replying to messages frantically.

Because the company team couldn't contact her these days, the problems there were not many, but they were very cumbersome, and now they were almost all pressed on her.

Forcing her fingers to tap the screen rapidly, her expression full of busyness.

Lin Xiuyuan saw this appearance and came with concern, "Finish breakfast before being busy."

However, Jessica raised her eyes unhappily, directly raised a slender and straight white long leg, and kicked toward him.

That movement looked forceful, but actually carried a bit of intentional complaint, humming and complaining, "It's not because of you, I said before, I just came over to make a phone call, just a phone call, it wouldn't be so troublesome for me now."

Lin Xiuyuan laughed happily and didn't dodge, letting her vent, but because of this kick, his mood became more and more cheerful, and he deliberately added a tone to reply.

"That won't work, if I called you, would I still have the chance to have a spring dream last night."

"Get out." Jessica scolded back with a smile.

The two bickered while lowering their heads to fiddle with their mobile phones.

Lin Xiuyuan looked up at the opposite side from time to time, with a faint smile on the corners of his mouth.

But his fingers slid on the screen naturally, replying a few sentences in the chat box from time to time, and the name on the other side of the dialog box was also very conspicuous: Liu Zhimin.

It is the name that has been all over the news recently.

Fortunately, Jessica didn't notice this situation, otherwise she would have to give Lin Xiuyuan two more kicks to relieve her anger.

After breakfast, the two were still huddled on the sofa.

One frowned, focused on dealing with work messages; one leaned on the other end, leisurely contacting feelings with the person on the other end of the phone.

Time passed unknowingly in this subtle contrast.

Until Lin Xiuyuan's mobile phone suddenly vibrated, the screen lit up, he took a look, and the caller ID was: Little Dragon Cub.

"Hello, Jiyeon, what's wrong?" Lin Xiuyuan answered.

Then the voice of the Little Dragon Cub came from the other end of the phone, "Xiuyuan, Enjing's old injury recurred, and she is hospitalized, do you want to come and see?"

Lin Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment, and his heart sank.

What kind of injury could be serious enough to be hospitalized? This is a big deal.

Subconsciously, he looked up at Jessica opposite.

Although she was busy with her head down, she also heard the words from the phone, her expression paused slightly, she pursed her lips and nodded gently, her eyes signaling him to go.

Although Lin Xiuyuan didn't understand the specific situation, since the Little Dragon Cub opened her mouth like this, plus the relationship of "member," he didn't hesitate much, and soon nodded, "Okay, I'll go over immediately, you send me a location."

After hanging up the phone, he looked up and told Jessica the situation briefly.

Jessica just smiled when she heard it, her eyes flowed, she raised her finger and pointed at herself, and teased softly, "Then I'm free?"

Lin Xiuyuan was stunned, his eyes stayed on her face for a few seconds, and finally nodded slowly, "Well, free."

Jessica hooked her lips, her eyes flashed, and she kicked him.

The force was not light or heavy, as if giving him an explanation, "Forget it, I'm too lazy to scare you. You go and see the situation first. I'll stay here and finish the accumulated work, and... "

She raised her chin and said softly, "My clothes are still in the apartment, I can't leave in this nightdress, I'll wait for you."

Lin Xiuyuan stared at her for a few seconds, his eyes carrying a smile, but didn't say anything more.

Just before going out, he thoughtfully instructed a few points about the villa, and then took the car key and walked out quickly.

Soon, Lin Xiuyuan came to the door of the VIP single ward of the hospital.

When pushing the door in, the smell of disinfectant mixed with faint medicinal fragrance hit his face, making his heart tighten subconsciously.

First, what came into view was Sweet Enjing with protective gear on the hospital bed.

She was sitting on the hospital bed with her body leaning forward slightly, her long hair scattered on her shoulders, and one hand pressed gently on her thigh.

There was an unconcealable fatigue in her eyes, as if even her breathing carried a bit of restraint.

On the stool beside her, the Little Dragon Cub was accompanying her on one side.

When she looked up and saw Lin Xiuyuan, a look of surprise floated in her eyes, and she stood up immediately, her voice carrying relaxation, "Xiuyuan~ you are here."

"Well." Lin Xiuyuan nodded, his eyebrows written with doubt, "What's going on?"

The Little Dragon Cub scratched her hair tail and answered for Sweet Enjing, "Unni has been practicing for too long recently, rehearsing too hard, plus other work, so she brought out the old injury again."

At this time, Sweet Enjing finally raised her head slowly. Although her face was pale and her lips had no blood color, she still barely carried a polite smile and looked at Lin Xiuyuan, "It's nothing big, don't worry, it's just that the body can't stand it."

Lin Xiuyuan heard this, but couldn't help but feel a bit of respect in his heart.

The perseverance of practicing so hard is not something everyone can have.

So he nodded, walked to the bedside, asked a few more concerned questions, "What did the doctor say? How long do you need to recuperate? Will there be any hidden dangers in the future?"

Sweet Enjing replied softly, "The problem is not very big, just can't take it lightly. Have to recuperate slowly, can't continue to hold on, so I was hospitalized."

When she spoke, her eyes were dim for a moment, as if she was silently worried about her body.

Lin Xiuyuan heard this, his eyebrows still twisted slightly, and then turned to look at the Little Dragon Cub, asking seriously.

"Then... you called me, do you need my help?"

As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere in the ward paused slightly.

Sweet Enjing and the Little Dragon Cub were both lost, looking at him at the same time, a flash of surprise flashed in their eyes, as if they didn't expect him to point it out all at once.

Their reaction made Lin Xiuyuan laugh, and his tone gave his own guess very naturally, "Mainly because Jiyeon, you specially called me, so I think it's not just to let me visit the patient, right? There must be other things to say."

After being broken by him, the Little Dragon Cub didn't hide it anymore, her eyes flashed, and she walked up.

Then she pulled his sleeve, pushed Lin Xiuyuan half-way to the window, lowered her voice and leaned into his ear, and said her thoughts seriously and unquestioningly.

Lin Xiuyuan was originally leaning against the window, looking at the green plants and car shadows outside.

But as he listened, his expression gradually tightened, his eyebrows locked tighter and tighter, and finally couldn't help but whisper in surprise, "Damn, no way, Jiyeon. Did you get something wrong? I'm not some immortal medicine, how is this possible?"

Sweet Enjing on the hospital bed looked at the mysterious appearance of the two, followed by Lin Xiuyuan's exclamation, and a blush floated on her face unconsciously.

The shyness in her heart made her not even dare to stop her gaze for a long time, and even secretly regretted why she agreed to the Little Dragon Cub's messy ideas earlier.

But the Little Dragon Cub was very serious, and even carried a bit of urgency, her voice lowered, "Try it first, Xiuyuan. I personally think your situation is simply more useful than immortal medicine."

"You are really crazy, how is this possible~"

Lin Xiuyuan couldn't laugh or cry, and before he could refuse, he was half-pushed and half-pulled by her toward the bathroom.

"Jiyeon..."

Sweet Enjing shouted, her voice so light that it was almost inaudible, and her face turned redder, "Don't be so urgent, in a while..."

The Little Dragon Cub turned her head, smiling playfully and carrying a bit of domineering, "Unni, this time is mine, yours will be later, I am also in a hurry to want it!"

Sweet Enjing was choked and couldn't speak, and could only sigh low.

The atmosphere in the ward became ambiguous and tense at this moment, as if the air was getting hot.

However, the door of the toilet had just been closed for a while, and the door of the ward was suddenly "clicked" and pushed open from the outside.

Sweet Enjing, who was leaning on the head of the bed in a daze, felt her heart tighten the moment she heard the movement, and her whole body was stiff, not even knowing where to put her hands.

She could only subconsciously pull the corner of the quilt and wrap herself tighter, as if this could cover up the panic.

Until she saw clearly that the person who came was Park Xiaomin and Li Juli, she breathed a sigh of relief, but the ups and downs of her chest had not fully calmed down.

"Why are you back again?" She asked with a bit of nervousness, forcing a smile.

Park Xiaomin raised the fruit basket and a bunch of flowers in her hand, her eyes carrying warm concern, "I bought some things on the way, otherwise how boring it would be for you to be hospitalized alone, and eating more fruit can also supplement vitamins."

Sweet Enjing was stunned, shook her head gently, her tone soft but carrying a bit of refusal, "I'll just stay for one day, and I can be discharged tomorrow to recuperate, it's a waste to buy these..."

Before the words fell, Park Xiaomin placed the fruit basket steadily on the bedside cabinet, not paying attention to her refusal at all.

Her expression was gentle and firm, as if this intention was more important than anything else.

On the contrary, Li Juli's eyes flashed, she looked around the ward, her eyebrows frowned slightly, "Where is Jiyeon? When we went out just now, she said she would accompany you more, why is she gone now?"

Sweet Enjing's heart tightened, her eyes flickered, and she hurriedly explained, "She... she just went to get water for me."

Park Xiaomin suspiciously scanned the washbasin, "No, isn't there water here? Still need to run out to get it?"

Seeing this, Sweet Enjing subconsciously bit her lip, and immediately added a sentence, "It's different... it's the medicine prescribed by the doctor, the kind that needs to be exchanged for glucose."

As soon as this remark came out, Park Xiaomin said "Oh," as if suddenly enlightened, and Li Juli also nodded, not asking any more questions for the time being.

However, the two did not leave, but pulled the chair and sat down, as if intending to wait for Jiyeon to come back before leaving.

This situation made Sweet Enjing's heart "clatter," and cold sweat oozed from her forehead.

Helplessly, she had to find two excuses, one saying that the fruit had to be washed, and one saying that the nurse had to register.

She, who pursed her lips tightly, was also busy for a while, and finally persuaded the two to go out.

Just when the two left, the door of the toilet "creaked" and opened.

The Little Dragon Cub, who was hiding inside, walked out, her mouth still pursed tightly, as if trying to hold back something, and she also took away an empty cup by the way.

Her eyes paused on Sweet Enjing for a moment, carrying a bit of meaningfulness.

Two minutes later, Park Xiaomin and Li Juli pushed the door back in, and at the same time noticed the subtle changes in Sweet Enjing before.

So the eyes of the two fell on Sweet Enjing on the bed at the same time, a flash of suspicion flashed in their eyes, and they just wanted to ask something.

Just then, the Little Dragon Cub pushed the door in, holding a cup of milky white liquid in her hand, and walked toward the hospital bed with a smile, "Unni, it's time to take medicine."

This situation made Sweet Enjing's pupils shrink, and her face turned red instantly.

Mainly because the color in the water was too suspicious, she had a few guesses in her heart, so her whole body was stiff.

"This... is it really medicine?" Her voice trembled slightly, and she looked at the Little Dragon Cub with complex eyes.

The Little Dragon Cub blinked, her expression natural as if everything was taken for granted, "Of course, it's specially instructed by the doctor, exchanged."

Sweet Enjing, who heard this tone, bit her lip directly, and her fingertips tightly pinched the corner of the quilt.

But she could feel that Li Juli and Park Xiaomin's eyes were on her, and that gaze carried concern and a bit of exploration.

Under these two gazes, she almost had no way back.

After a short hesitation and struggle.

Sweet Enjing, who had no way back, finally reached out slowly and took the cup of milky white liquid.

The moment her fingers touched the cup wall, she was trembling slightly.

"I... really drank it?" She muttered to herself, as if talking to herself, and as if asking herself.

Li Juli nodded with a smile, her tone gentle and firm, "The medicine prescribed by the doctor, drink it with peace of mind."

At the same time, Park Xiaomin also urged, "Hurry up, don't delay."

Sweet Enjing's heartbeat almost exploded. Under the gaze of the two, she closed her eyes, looked up, and drank the cup of milky white liquid in one gulp.

The moment the bottom of the cup was empty, her Adam's apple rolled violently, her cheeks quickly dyed a blush, her heart was full of shock and shyness, as if the whole world was trembling in her heartbeat.

Seriously, she didn't know what kind of effect this "medicine" would bring, but it was really hard to swallow.

The moment the milky white liquid went down her throat, Sweet Enjing only felt a "thump" in her heart, as if hit by some heavy object.

Clearly there was no strange taste, but the more plain it was, the more her doubts were magnified.

At that moment, her breathing accelerated a bit, her hands pinched the corner of the quilt, and some scenes she dared not think about kept flashing in her mind.

Her heart seemed to be grabbed by an invisible hand, thumping.

Sweet Enjing, who tried to maintain the calmness on her face, was still seen by the Little Dragon Cub that she was exposed to the anxiety and shyness from her eyes to her ear tips.

And the Little Dragon Cub sat quietly by the bed, legs crossed, holding a mobile phone in her hand, but her eyes looked at her from time to time.

That look clearly wrote "I know what you are thinking," as if watching a "psychological drama" that belonged only to her.

But her expression pretended to be relaxed, and even chatted with Li Juli and Park Xiaomin, chatting about the weather outside, performance preparation, and other trivial matters.

The smile was very natural, the voice was very gentle, as if nothing had happened.

But every time the corner of her eyes swept to Sweet Enjing's subtle demeanor, a trace of teasing and cunning that could not be concealed would flash in her eyes.

Not long after, her mobile phone suddenly vibrated "ding-dong."

The Little Dragon Cub lowered her head and glanced, the corners of her mouth hooked slightly, but she buckled the mobile phone aside and didn't pay attention.

After two seconds, it was another prompt. Immediately afterward, the third, the fourth...

Almost continuous.

This couldn't help but make Li Juli a bit curious, tilted her head and glanced at her, "Why don't you look at the information? Who is it."

"Nothing, just a shameless pursuer." The Little Dragon Cub smiled and teased.

But Sweet Enjing saw it in her eyes, but her heart tightened, and she vaguely guessed something.

So in order to round the field, she said softly, "Jiyeon, do you have anything to be busy with? If you are busy, you can go first, I am not a big deal here, don't worry about me."

The Little Dragon Cub shook her head, her expression was very calm: "Nothing, not in a hurry, sit for a while." After speaking, she smiled, as if everything was under control.

The atmosphere in the ward stopped for a few minutes like this.

Suddenly, another SMS prompt sounded, but this time it was not the Little Dragon Cub's.

Li Juli took out her mobile phone from her bag, took a look, and the expression on her face changed the next second, her eyes lit up, "Eh, Xiuyuan is looking for me, Jiyeon."

Sweet Enjing's heart jumped, and she turned to look at Li Juli, while the Little Dragon Cub on the side just pursed her lips and smiled lightly.

After saying that sentence, Li Juli naturally replied to Lin Xiuyuan's information, and the two chatted quickly, and at the same time, the joy in her eyebrows could almost not be hidden, attracting the eyes of several people in the ward together.

The Little Dragon Cub and Sweet Enjing looked at each other, and at that moment, they both saw a smile in each other's eyes.

A kind of smile that only they understood, secretly knowing.

A few minutes later, Li Juli raised her head and asked the Little Dragon Cub, "Jiyeon, Xiuyuan said he invited us to dinner, do you want to go?"

This time the Little Dragon Cub didn't deliberately hang people's appetite, her lips raised, and she

Tian Enjing nodded gently and said with a smile, "Give her my regards."

Park Hyomin, who had been quiet and hadn't interjected, spoke up at this moment, her tone half-serious and half-joking, "Then can I come along too? It just so happens I haven't settled my lunch plans yet."

Li Juli thought for a moment and simply agreed readily, "Then let's go together."

Thus, the three of them tidied up briefly, soon said goodbye to Tian Enjing, and left the hospital room.

The hospital room became quiet once again.

Not long after, the bathroom door was pushed open with a "creak."

Lin Xiuyuan walked out, wearing an indescribably strange expression on his face.

His gaze met Tian Enjing's, and both of them saw that sense of awkwardness and speechlessness in the other's eyes.

After a brief silence, they nodded almost simultaneously, which counted as a tacit greeting.

Lin Xiuyuan didn't say much and walked quickly out of the hospital room.

Only Tian Enjing was left alone, staring blankly at the empty water glass on the bedside table, raising a hand to cover her forehead, and moaning softly, "What on earth am I doing..."

Her heart felt as if it had been stirred a thousand times, her cheeks were still burning hot, and the entire room seemed to contain nothing but the sound of her own heartbeat.

On the other side.

The moment Lin Xiuyuan walked quickly out of the hospital, his breathing was also somewhat hurried, and the scene in the hospital room was still replaying in his mind.

And when he sat in the car, the screen of the phone he had just placed to the side suddenly lit up, and a message quietly popped in.

After looking down subconsciously, he discovered that the sender was none other than Tian Enjing.

Opening it to look, the content was extremely simple, consisting of only a few words.

【This is a secret】

Looking at this message, the corners of Lin Xiuyuan's mouth curled up slightly, a playful smile in his eyes.

Then, leaning back against the car seat, several images flashed through his mind, yet he felt unexpectedly much more relaxed.

A moment later, his fingers tapped out a reply quickly; he chose an emoji that best expressed his mood.

Humorous with a touch of teasing.

It was an emoji of a little character with the words 【I'm going to hold this secret over you for a lifetime】, performing an exaggerated biting motion.

(PS: Stop overthinking it, this was just Zhiyan teasing Enjing. To save those with fragile hearts from thinking the protagonist is a pervert, I give up. I won't bury any more plot threads in the future; I'll just write everything plainly.)
