Hospital

Xie Longdou came to the hospital after a long day of helping his father organizing the company. When he has gotten out of the car and arrived at the entrance, he saw an oddly familiar person dressed in casual clothes: What is Xie Feihao doing in a hospital on a school day?

What's more strange is that Xie Feihao was hanging around Zhen Liyue's secretary, Chen Bai, who was busy enough that he barely shows his face in public, was babysitting his boss's grandson. Only people with authorities that are high enough knows his identity.

Xie Longdou wasn't in the building five minutes ago, but he can predict what has happened with the prideful look on the receptionist's face and the rough atmosphere. Many have never liked that receptionist with her rude personality. However, she wouldn't be fired even many complaints because she's the daughter of a well-known surgeon.

"White rabbit." Xie Feihao calls, "Write her down on the list as an 'Ignorant Scum.'" He points at Chen Bai.

Chen Bai had an intimidating glare on his face, "I'm not a rab-"

"Write it down before I throw your collection in a pit of fire."

Xie Longdou can't believe his eyes, the man who was known as stern and fearless was threatened, what was more shocking is that Xie Feihao's threat was working.

"But sir." Chen Bai mumbles while avoiding eye contact, "You can't fire 13 people on the list because they disrespected you, we don't even own this hospital!"

"Fire me?" The receptionist giggles, "All you can do is get a job as a janitor from the way you dress." She points at the sweatshirt Xie Feihao was wearing while lifting head high.

"Oh please." Xie Feihao stares ay Chen Bai in doubt, then change to a smirk, "You have enough influence, and I'm sure you can't bear her either."

Xie Lijiu suddenly woke up on the hospital bed, he puts one of his hand on his forehead because of the headache, he has recently been having nightmares. Xie Lijiu thought he was used to this, but the same dream keeps coming back, and what's more strange is that he always forgets what he dreamt about the moment he wakes up.

Other than his nightmares, his life has been like hell in the past three months: Xie Lijiu's company has lost a lot of profit and costumers like he was cursed with bad luck.

Xie Longdou opens the door, and then shuts it while Xie Lijiu greets him with a stare, "You're late." He acts stern, but he wanted to give a warm welcome.

"Xie Feihao is here in the hospital." Xie Longdou cuts it short.

When Xie Lijiu heard Xie Feihao's name, he immediately thought of Xie Feihao's recent behavior: Xie Lijiu heard that Xie Feihao has become more independent and prideful, unlike him in the past, who always likes to follow the group even though his opinions are different. Xie Lijiu liked the past Xie Feihao, who always acted bright and wishes for a lot of things, like a young toddler who had nothing to worry about the world and always has a bright smile on his face that makes everyone's day bright.

Xie Lijiu clears his throat when he realizes he was thinking for too long, "Why is he here?"

"He said one of grandmother's subordinates was injured." Xie Longdou replies, left out the part where Xie Feihao called Zhen Liyue her name instead of 'grandmother' and Chen Bai was also here.

Xie Lijiu felt a slight ache in his heart when he heard Xie Feihao didn't come to see him, nonetheless, he kept that grumpy face.

Someone knocks on the door, Xie Lijiu thought it was the nurse, "Is Xie Longdou here?" He heard a man's voice, the door then opens, he saw a recognizable person, it was Chen Bai.

"Ah," Chen Bai took a step back to look at the sign next to the entrance, then realize it was Xie Lijiu's room, "Long time no see, Xie Lijiu." He looks back inside the room without any expression on his face.

"Long time no see." Xie Lijiu greets back to his old classmate.

"I'm not going in there!" Xie Lijiu then heard a faint yell from the back.

Chen Bai turns his head to the right to look far in the hallway, "But it's part of your assignment the ma'am gave you today."

"If you don't fire that ignorant scum I won't do anything!" The faint yell replies, "That includes the meeting tomorrow that was also assigned by Zhen Liyue!"

Xie Lijiu saw the frustrated look on Chen Bai's face, it has been years since he last saw that expression.

"Fine!" Chen Bai yells back as he leaves without saying goodbye, Xie Feihao exchanged spots and neared against the wall after walks in.

"I'm here like you wanted, ignorant scum number 2." Xie Feihao sighs like it's going to take forever.

"Like what?" It seems like Xie Longdou wasn't in a good mood either today, Xie Lijiu glared at Xie Longdou to hint him to get out, which he quickly did and shuts the door.

There were a few moments of silence. Xie Lijiu clears his throat to break the awkwardness, "Take a seat." Xie Feihao gladly did, but he hoped that this will end quickly.

Xie Lijiu had a moment of silent excitement when he realized Xie Feihao came to see him. Xie Feihao narrowed his eyes when Xie Lijiu realized that he didn't control his facial expresion.

"So," He quickly changes his expression back, "You came to see me?"

Xie Feihao pretended like he didn't say that, then rolled his eyes, "Yeah, I visited. Can I leave now? I got a lot of things on my schedule." He didn't bother with hiding his intention or attitude.

Xie Lijiu's excitement quickly dropped to zero and made a slight frown on his face.

"Ah-" Xie Feihao's eyes wide open, like he wasn't expecting that kind of expression, "So that's the type of person you are." He raised his left hand and ruffled his hair with a troubled expression, "Now that causes a lot of problems." Xie Feihao stood up from the chair, opened the door, and left after closing the door slowly, ended with a click from the latch in the door handle without saying anything else.
