"Don't go..." Qin Beiting held Yu He's hand, not wanting her to leave.
He was afraid that if she left this time, she would never come back.
He had just woken up, his face and lips pale, making people feel an involuntary pang of sympathy.
Yu He suppressed the emotions in her heart, forcefully broke free from his hand, and turned to leave the ward.
Qin Beiting wanted to get out of bed to chase after her, but as soon as he moved, he realized his whole body was sore. His right hand had already been bandaged, and with the exertion, the gauze was starting to bleed.
"Brother Ting, you have multiple soft tissue contusions. Don't move around," Chen Dong advised.
"That's right, let sister-in-law go back and rest first. She stayed up with you all night and barely slept. She needs rest," Qi Nan also advised.
If it weren't for Yu He last night, the two grown men would probably have had to wait until dawn to subdue the out-of-control Qin Beiting.
Hearing this, Qin Beiting's anxiety eased considerably. The little girl hadn't left last night; she still cared about him.
Seeing that he had calmed down, Floyd stepped forward and said, "Mr. Qin, it's time for your follow-up appointment."
Qin Beiting's gaze shifted to him, his expression turning grim.
"Your condition is very bad right now. Please come back with me to see Teacher Skinner. If you don't get treatment, you will eventually hurt Miss Yu," Floyd persuaded.
Qin Beiting had initially held some reservations about him, but Floyd's words struck a chord with his inner anxieties.
He only had fragmented memories of what happened after Yu He left last night, all of them unpleasant.
He was also afraid of another relapse and hurting Yu He.
"Make the arrangements," he said to Chen Dong after a long pause.
Chen Dong: "Yes."
Seeing that he was finally willing to cooperate with treatment, Floyd breathed a sigh of relief and turned to send Yu He a message.
[Miss Yu, Mr. Qin has agreed to treatment.]
——
Yu He had just returned to the clinic when she saw Floyd's message. She replied: [Okay, I'll entrust him to you.]
"Yu He, you're finally back! Did our place really get robbed? Should we call the police?" Qiao Wei hurried over to ask when he saw her.
This morning, he and Old Mrs. Yu had come to the clinic and found the door to the west wing askew and unable to close. Upon entering, they saw the living room in disarray, as if it had been hit by an earthquake.
He immediately called Yu He. If Yu He hadn't told him not to worry, he would have called the police long ago.
"It's nothing, a dog broke in last night," Yu He said indifferently.
"What kind of dog could wreck the house like this?" Qiao Wei was shocked. The furniture overturned, each piece of furniture being solid rosewood weighing several hundred pounds.
Xiao Qing, who happened to be passing by, stopped when she heard "wrecking the house" and said, "Husky! Useless at everything except wrecking the house! My boyfriend's husky is exactly like that."
Qiao Wei: "Ah? Such a terrifying dog?"
This lie might have fooled Qiao Wei, but it couldn't fool Old Mrs. Yu.
"Nannan, is there something going on between you and Beiting?" Old Mrs. Yu called Yu He into the consultation room and asked.
Seeing that she couldn't hide it, Yu He said, "It's nothing, he just had an episode. Don't worry."
"Didn't his illness get cured? Has it recurred?" Old Mrs. Yu asked. Yu He had mentioned treating Qin Beiting before, but she didn't know the specific symptoms.
Yu He didn't want her to worry too much, "Mm, there were some signs of recurrence, but it's under control now."
Given how chaotic the west wing had become, the situation was likely not simple. But since Yu He said so, Old Mrs. Yu believed she could handle it. "Do you need my help?"
"No. I'll handle it. Just focus on treating your patients."
After comforting her grandmother, Yu He took her packed luggage and the little pig, hailed a car, and headed to the Biyushuiwan villa in the suburbs.
The west wing was a mess, and it was uninhabitable until it was cleaned up. Conveniently, she didn't want to stay there for the time being.
Upon arriving at Biyushuiwan, Yu He settled the little pig and immediately collapsed into bed.
She slept until noon the next day. Yu He wanted to continue sleeping, but she was woken up by the doorbell.
Annoyed, she got up and went downstairs to open the door. A delivery person was standing there.
"Miss Yu, your same-city express delivery." The delivery person said, handing her a large meal box with the Disheng logo on it.
"You have the wrong address, I didn't order anything," Yu He said, about to close the door.
The delivery person quickly stopped her and checked the order on his phone. "It's ordered by Mr. Qin, phone number ending in 8888, delivered to Biyushuiwan Phase 1, Number 16, recipient Miss Yu. It's correct."
Hearing this, Yu He's drowsiness vanished instantly.
That scoundrel had actually sent someone to track her!
"Refuse it, I don't want it!" she said coldly.
"Uh... Please sign for it. If you don't, I'll have made this trip in vain and will have to pay money," the delivery person pleaded. "Or, you can explain it to Mr. Qin who placed the order?"
"Forget it, give it to me." Yu He irritably took the meal box, slammed the door shut with a bang, and casually tossed it onto the table. She went back to her room and picked up her phone.
She had muted her phone before sleeping yesterday. There were several missed calls and a pile of messages on WeChat, with Qin Beiting's being the most recent.
Yesterday, 12:59 AM
Brother Ting: [Baby, I'm sorry, I was sick last night. I didn't scare you, did I?]
Brother Ting: [I'm going to Country F tonight, on the early morning flight. Can you come see me off? /pity]
Yesterday, 11:50 PM
Brother Ting: [About to take off. I'll miss you.]
Today, 10:30 AM
Brother Ting: [I've arrived.]
12:00 PM
Brother Ting: [Baby, it's time to wake up and eat something. I've ordered Disheng for you. Make sure to eat on time, otherwise it's bad for your stomach.]
After reading his message history, Yu He tutted in dissatisfaction and replied: [Don't send me things anymore!]
As soon as the message was sent, Qin Beiting's call immediately came through.
Yu He directly hung up and then added his number to the blacklist.
In Country F, dawn was just breaking. Chen Dong and Qi Nan, who were fighting jet lag, were asleep, but Qin Beiting couldn't sleep. He kept watching his phone, waiting for Yu He's reply.
After finally receiving her reply, his call was hung up. When he tried to call again, he got the "number is switched off" notification.
Had the little girl blocked him?
He could only send a WeChat message: [You only said we wouldn't meet for now, not that we couldn't contact each other. /pity]
Besides, they hadn't even slept on the breakup, so it didn't count as a breakup!
However, after waiting for another half an hour, Yu He still hadn't replied. He sent another pitiful emoji, but behind the emoji was a red exclamation mark and a system notification:
The other party has enabled friend verification. You are not yet their friend. Please send a friend verification request. You can chat after the other party verifies it.
Qin Beiting: !!!!!!!!
The little girl had actually deleted him!

Here at Biyushuiwan.
After dealing with the messages on her phone, Yu He hugged the little pig and went back to sleep. She had barely closed her eyes when the doorbell rang downstairs again.
"Is there no end to this!"
Yu He irritably pulled the blanket over her head, not wanting to go downstairs to open the door, thinking that if no one answered, the person at the door would naturally leave.
However, the person outside seemed convinced she was home, and the doorbell kept ringing, disturbing even the little pig, who kept nudging Yu He awake.
With a heavy morning temper, she went down to open the door again. As she opened it, she saw Li Sichen.
