Chapter 818: Chapter 819 Xi Yao Hospitalized Again

Early in the morning, Li Changlin received a call from Zhong Jianping that threw him into a panic—Ye Xiyao had been hospitalized again.

The night before, due to work, Ye Xiyao had worked overtime in her studio in the provincial city until after three in the morning and ended up fainting from exhaustion.

As Bai Ziyu had gone on a sudden business trip to the Capital City, the studio was left with only Zhong Jianping managing it. She wasn’t very familiar with Ye Xiyao and didn’t know much about the character of this major star and boss, so she stayed to accompany Ye Xiyao for the overtime.

When Ye Xiyao fainted, Zhong Jianping had no choice but to call emergency services immediately, and then tried to contact Bai Ziyu.

However, for some reason, Bai Ziyu had turned off his phone. Zhong Jianping didn’t know about the relationship between Li Changlin and Ye Xiyao, so she had to endure alone in the hospital until daybreak.

Later, when Ye Xiyao finally regained consciousness, the first thing she did was call out for Brother Changlin. Zhong Jianping, being quite clever, immediately thought of Li Changlin and asked Ye Xiyao if she wanted to contact him, as she had Li Changlin’s number.

However, once she was fully awake, Ye Xiyao rejected the idea outright. She didn’t want Brother Changlin to worry about her.

But Zhong Jianping was decisive and, more importantly, she had received some troubling news and hadn’t been able to reach Bai Ziyu, so she had no choice but to turn to Li Changlin.

Learning that Xiyao had fainted again truly gave Li Changlin a fright.

Over the phone, he instructed Zhong Jianping to take good care of Ye Xiyao, and after hanging up, he didn’t even bother with his morning routine and immediately dressed and rushed out of his house.

Once downstairs, Li Changlin hailed a taxi and hurried towards the provincial city.

This situation was so frustrating—the day before, he had just come back from the provincial city. If he had known this would happen, he would never have left Xiyao alone there.

Li Changlin felt self-blame, but regret was futile. He had no choice but to repeatedly urge the driver to go faster, then faster still.

However, even with the driver pushing the speed up to 120, getting from Jincheng to the provincial city was not something that could be done in an instant!

How aggravating it was that there was no flight from Jincheng to the provincial city!

If there were an airport, he wouldn’t need to go through all this trouble!

In truth, Li Changlin was just too anxious. For such matters, if he had sought Bai Zicong’s help, he would certainly have found a solution.

While it was true that Jincheng had no airport, with Bai Zicong’s connections, arranging a helicopter for Li Changlin to fly over wouldn’t have been too big of an issue.

Even Gao Yuntian probably had the clout to do the same.

But Li Changlin had never engaged with such high-level resources before, so it was normal for him not to think of breaking through from this angle.

The taxi driver was also getting annoyed with Li Changlin’s incessant urging, but after Li Changlin promised to pay 5000 yuan for the ride, the driver accelerated to 150 kilometers per hour.

With the increased speed, they arrived much sooner, and just over two hours later, Li Changlin finally reached the First People’s Hospital of the provincial city.

After paying the fare, Li Changlin jumped out of the car and strode into the hospital.

By then, Ye Xiyao had already been settled into the inpatient department. Her condition was somewhat alarming—the doctors had discovered some abnormalities and, after consulting with Zhong Jianping, they decided to admit Ye Xiyao to the hospital.

At first, Ye Xiyao was against being hospitalized.

She was the only one who knew about her situation; with the prediction that living past twenty-four was impossible due to her terminal condition, Ye Xiyao had long since accepted her fate.

However, in the end, when Zhong Jianping brought out Li Changlin, telling Ye Xiyao that Big Brother Li was already on his way over by express delivery, Ye Xiyao had no choice but to accept.

Although she didn’t want to worry Brother Changlin, now that Li Changlin already knew, if she didn’t follow the doctor’s orders, she feared that Brother Changlin might actually lose his temper.

Ye Xiyao was a woman with very strong convictions, but she truly cared about Li Changlin and was afraid to upset Brother Changlin.

Not daring and certainly not wanting to defy Brother Changlin, Ye Xiyao could only helplessly choose to accept the treatment, even though she knew in her heart that this treatment would not have the slightest effect on her congenital terminal condition.

Following the directions provided by Zhong Jianping, Li Changlin quickly arrived at the hospital’s inpatient department.

After that, Li Changlin went up to the twelfth floor and arrived at room number twenty-six.

It was a private room; considering Ye Xiyao’s status as a well-known figure, the hospital had specially arranged this single room for her.

Honestly, this was an invisible privilege of being a public figure.

After all, Ye Xiyao was a megastar; if she were to be placed in the same ward as other patients, it could affect not only Ye Xiyao herself but also the conditions of the other patients.

Moreover, due to Ye Xiyao’s presence, it might even potentially affect the security of the hospital and other related concerns.

Li Changlin gently knocked on the door; he had already instructed Zhong Jianping to lock the door from the inside if Ye Xiyao was resting. Unless it was a doctor or a nurse coming by, the door should not be opened for anyone else.

Clearly, Zhong Jianping was following Li Changlin’s instructions to the letter. Hearing the knock, she immediately jumped up and hurried to the door, peering out through a small window in the door.

After realizing it was Li Changlin, Zhong Jianping quickly opened the door, "Big Brother Li, you’ve finally arrived."

"Thank you for your trouble, Ah Ping," Li Changlin nodded, then swiftly entered the room.

Behind him, Zhong Jianping also quickly closed the door and locked it.

The main issue was that Ye Xiyao’s identity was too sensitive; if her fans knew the news of their idol being hospitialized, many would probably come to visit.

"Brother Changlin," Ye Xiyao lay on the hospital bed, herself not expecting Li Changlin to arrive so quickly.

She weakly called out as she saw Li Changlin.

"Xi Yao, do you feel any better?" Li Changlin walked over and sat by the bed, then reached out to gently stroke Ye Xiyao’s forehead, "You have to take care of yourself in the future; you can’t overwork yourself like this again."

"It’s not really that much work; I only worked until three in the morning," Ye Xiyao playfully stuck out her tongue and spoke softly.

At that moment, Zhong Jianping had turned around.

Seeing her idol showing such a delicate and reliant side in front of Li Changlin, she was a bit stunned and found it quite unusual!

"Still talking back!" Li Changlin glared at Ye Xiyao with some annoyance, "Three in the morning isn’t late for you, huh? Do you think midnight is considered late?"
