Good Morning, Mr. President! - Chapter 28

Chapter 28

Bai Yeqing waited a while, but Xia Xingchen still didn’t answer . He raised his eyebrows, and then Xia Xingchen said: “I certainly care about you . Among the successive presidents, you are the most popular one in our country . Everyone cares about you . My colleagues and I learned from the news yesterday that you might be injured, and we all worried about you . “

Bai Yeqing’s pupils constricted, he asked coldly: “No more feelings?”

Xia Xingchen pretended not to understand what he meant and changed the subject nonchalantly: “You are so weak, don’t chat with me anymore . Eat the porridge while it is warm! The citizens will not worry so much if you get better soon . ”

As speaking, she lifted a spoon with porridge to his mouth . Bai Yeqing gave her a searching look for a long time, wanting to find an inkling of her true thinking . But in the end, he failed .

Bai Yeqing suddenly felt a little bored . He didn’t say anything, just eating porridge in a frigid manner .

The intimate atmosphere disappeared .

But now a myriad of thoughts crowded into Xia Xingchen’s mind . Whether it was herself or other citizens that were worrying about Bai Yeqing – she knew the answer actually .

… … 

In the afternoon, Fu Yichen came over to change a fresh dressing for Bai Yeqing’s wound .

Bai Yeqing was asleep on the bed .

“He had a fever last night which didn’t go until this morning . He also had a poor appetite, only eating two bowls of porridge yesterday . ” Xia Xingchen told Fu Yichen the full details of Bai Yeqing’s situation in a soft voice, afraid of wakening him: “He kept a clear mind only for a little while today, and then he fell asleep again . Doctor Fu, is he okay?”

“Well, this is normal . After all, he is badly hurt . ” Fu Yichen glanced at Xia Xingchen . “I am going to change a fresh dressing for his wound, can you give me a hand?”

“Sure . ”

Xia Xingchen, according to Fu Yichen’s instructions, prepared to cut the gauze on Bai Yeqing’s chest with scissors .

She hadn’t started yet, and Bai Yeqing suddenly woke up .

He immediately saw that Xia Xingchen was holding a pair of scissors and leaning over him . He frowned slightly, saying lazily: “What are you doing?”

“Doctor Fu is here . We will change a fresh dressing for your wound . ” Xia Xingchen said lightly: “It may be a little painful . ”

Her tender look smoothed Bai Yeqing’s knitted brows .

He tried to stay awake, “Give me the scissors and go out . ”

“Why? I am the assistant of Doctor Fu, I can’t leave now . ”

“Enough, go out as I required . ” Bai Yeqing raised his hand to take the scissors away from her hand . But she was agiler than him, as she put her hands up, resisting to give him the scissors .

He frowned .

Is this woman teasing him as he is wounded?

He glanced at Fu Yichen and said, “Take her out . ”

Fu Yichen took a meaningful look at Xia Xingchen and Bai Yeqing, and then spoke, “Miss Xia, Your Excellency is afraid that you can’t stand the wound on his body as it’s quite bloody . If you are afraid to see that, then go out, it’s OK to let him help me . ”

As soon as he finished, Bai Yeqing glared at him with his sharp eyes .

Why this guy talks so much nonsense!? What a big mouth!

Xia Xingchen was surprised and she subconsciously peeked at Bai Yeqing . He… is he really afraid that the wound would scare her?

Since he didn’t refute Doctor Fu, then… is that so?

She was slightly moved . Then she gave a smile, “Don’t worry, I’m not that timid . Besides… he is so badly hurt now, I am afraid he is unable to help even he wants to . ”

Fu Yichen nodded, “It would be better if you can stay . ”

“…” Bai Yeqing was a bit unhappy . So, his opinion was completely ignored by the two in front of him?

… … 

When Fu Yichen was preparing the medicine, Xia Xingchen helped to cut the gauze on Bai Yeqing’s chest and hands .

Every time she cut, she would hold her breath . She had seen his wounds on the first day, but now thinking about it, she still felt dreadful .

Her acts became more careful and gentler, fear of hurting him .

Bai Yeqing’s eyes were always fixed on her face, seeing her frown and pale face, he said with a deep voice: “Don’t force yourself . ”

“Don’t underestimate me . ” Xia Xingchen glanced at him and then focused on the work of cutting gauze . “Although I have never seen such a serious injury, I have seen, no, I have experienced some big event . ”

“You? What big event have you experienced?” Bai Yeqing casually talked with her . When dedicated to doing something, she looked very charming .

“When I gave birth to Xia Dabai, I had a massive hemorrhage and was dying . The doctor even gave my dad a notice of the critical condition . However, I made it . Otherwise, you won’t see me now . So, can it be called a big event that I’ve experienced?”

Xia Xingchen said these words in a relaxing way, and even with a smile . After that, she did not forget to look up at him, as if waiting for him to nod .

Bai Yeqing, looking indifferently, frowned .

How could this woman smile when talking about such a serious event!

“Don’t be so serious,” said Xia Xingchen, who was almost scared by his grave face, “Well, I shouldn’t mention that at this moment . ”

She lowered her head, continuing to be busy again . The long hair on her cheek dissipated, covering half of her tight face .

Staring at her, Bai Yeqing’s mind was full of the scene that she was lying on the operating table with fear and helplessness .

Leng Fei had been following up her affairs . However, Leng Fei had never mentioned anything about the massive hemorrhage .

Now hearing that, unexpectedly, he felt distressed .

His long fingers suddenly extended to put her long hair on the cheek behind her ear .

Touched by his fingertips, Xia Xingchen was stunned, and her heart beat faster .

She subconsciously looked at him and noticed the faint but complex eye expression . Her heart skipped a beat .

Arranging the hair beside the cheek shyly, Xie Xingchen did not say anything, but only silently buried her head to help Fu Yichen .

However…

His eye expression always appeared in her mind .

What is… that complicated emotion?

Fu Yichen had witnessed all the details between the two people . Looking at them, he couldn’t help but twitch his mouth .

Growing up with Bai Yeqing in the army, Fu Yichen had never seen Bai Yeqing treated a woman in such a way .

But…

It’s impossible for them to have a happy ending, isn’t it?

…

Xia Xingchen cut the gauze and Bai Yeqing’s wound was completely revealed . Even though she had seen his wound, Xia Xingchen didn’t dare to look at the wound again after the first glance .

He got injured so seriously . How painful it will be!

Fu Yichen was also very somber, “The medicine is strong and it will be a little painful . ”

“Don’t worry, just apply the medicine . ”

Fu Yichen beheaded and applied the medicine slowly to his wound .

At that moment, Bai Yeqing’s uninjured hand held the sheets underneath tightly . The unbearable pain caused his lips to become pale and his forehead and the tip of his nose sweating . However, even so, he was still resolutely biting his teeth, without a sigh .

Xia Xingchen felt that her heart seemed to be smashed into a ball .
