Chapter 1431: He Stayed by Her Side (Part 1)

With that expression, Ye Yang couldn’t help but feel his heart skip a beat.

"So tell me, what did you eat today?"

"I had lunch at the TV station... same as usual... and instant noodles for dinner when I got home—"

"You’re still eating instant noodles? Your medical records clearly state that your stomach issues aren’t a recent thing. You had acute gastroenteritis just a few months ago, yet you still dare to eat instant noodles with a stomach like that?"

People with even minor stomach issues wouldn’t eat that kind of thing—he knows to take care of his stomach!

After Ye Yang’s earnest scolding, Song Jiaqi’s expression immediately fell.

She pulled the blanket over her face with one hand, covering half of it.

Come on...

She’s an adult, but he scolds her like she’s a three-year-old. Did he forget his role? He’s not her dad!

"What are you covering up for?" Ye Yang chuckled and pulled the blanket off her, laughing out loud.

Underneath the blanket was a face pouting with grievance.

"Song Jiaqi, how old are you? I say a few words, and you’re upset? Besides, where was I wrong? Every word’s true, and every sentence is useful."

At this moment, Song Jiaqi couldn’t argue with him, and she didn’t have much energy to speak, so she could only express her feelings through her expression.

"No..." she denied, "I was born with a mournful face."

Seeing her pathetic look, Ye Yang gave in, letting her have this one.

"Alright, just rest. Sleep, I’ll watch over the IV for you."

"Ah... there’s no need..." Song Jiaqi felt especially troublesome for him, "It’s so late, you should go back and sleep. Don’t you have a schedule tomorrow?"

"No." But actually, he lied a little.

He had an interview with some magazine at ten the next morning. But well, we’ll see. The IV should take a few hours, and he could rest afterward.

Otherwise, with her all alone here and no family around, wouldn’t it be too pitiful?

"You really don’t need to stay... There are nurses, after all. You should go back and rest."

Ye Yang didn’t leave but instead asked, "You don’t have family in Xicheng?"

"I’m not originally from Xicheng, so I don’t have any relatives or friends here..."

The only friend she made in Xicheng was An Hao.

Forget it...

What’s the point of bringing this up now? It’s in the past.

He had looked into Song Jiaqi and already knew she wasn’t from Xicheng, but he wasn’t sure if she had any relatives here. It would be good to have more people looking after her. He’s busy with work and might not be able to take care of her well.

"Never mind, get some rest. I’ll watch over you."

"Really, you don’t have to—"

"Shut up!" Ye Yang commanded, "Don’t be so fussy."

Song Jiaqi really shut her mouth.

Actually, she didn’t expect him to stay with her, but when he actually did, Song Jiaqi’s heart felt a little warm, and some other thoughts sprang up inside her.

All these years, she’s been fighting alone, and with Xiaoxi beside her, sometimes just looking at her when she’s tired and upset could heal her a bit. But doesn’t that mean she isn’t tired?

She’s exhausted.

But she can’t go back to her hometown. No matter how sad she is, she’ll stay in Xicheng until she achieves something.

She has no way out.

She never expected that she’d only known Ye Yang for a little over a month, with no deep ties, and now that she’s sick, it was him staying with her.
