Xiao Sichen heard her words, clutching his chest with furrowed brows as a droplet of sweat rolled down his forehead, ultimately landing on the back of Ye Ranran's hand.
Ye Ranran's heart tightened as she met his pained expression, pushing thoughts of Tang Siqi still being in the hospital to the back of her mind.
"I'll take you home first, Xingyu has medicine," she said, supporting Xiao Sichen with eyes full of worry.
Xiao Sichen held her hand, deeply exhaled, and said, "Sorry, my parents have misunderstood you."
"That's not important, don't talk now, let's go back and treat your injuries," Ye Ranran genuinely felt sorry for him and led him out after speaking.
…
In the hospital room.
Tang Siqi only opened her eyes slowly after the Xiao Family elders had left, her face filled with tears of grievance.
"Siqi, don't cry, when you cry, it hurts Mom even more," Mrs. Tang said, holding her daughter's hand, tears ready to pour.
