Chapter 5 Waking in Hospital
I bought a ticket and rushed back to Shanghai without stopping.
During the flight, I developed a fever.
When I got off the plane, my vision went black, and I collapsed on the jet bridge.
When I woke up again, I was in the hospital.
My childhood friend Zhao Yu sat beside me, taking my temperature.
"Why are you here?" I asked, rubbing my temple.
"I didn't want to!" Zhao Yu sneered. "The airport people called down your recent contacts. Only I picked up!"
I was silent for a while, then thanked him. "Thanks!"
Zhao Yu held my boarding pass and said sarcastically. "Tsk, flying over fifty hours round-trip to Vancouver during Spring Festival. Zhou Chengting, you really love Lu Huaichuan."
"But it seems Lu Huaichuan doesn't care much..."
Although Zhao Yu always spoke harshly, today I was exhausted physically and mentally. I had no energy to argue with him.
I interrupted him. "I broke up with him."
"But the one loved is always fearless—wait, what did you say? Broke up?" Zhao Yu's eyes widened, as if in disbelief.
I sighed and nodded.
"He dumped you?" Zhao Yu raised an eyebrow.
I nodded, then shook my head.
Zhao Yu pressed. "What do you mean? Who wanted to break up?"
"I proposed it."
As soon as I said that, I wasn't sure if it was my imagination, but I felt like Zhao Yu couldn't help but smile.
Although he never liked Lu Huaichuan, as my childhood friend, his gloating expression was too obvious.
I punched him weakly. "I'm broken up, at least comfort me a bit."
"How do you want comfort? My shoulder?" Zhao Yu exaggeratedly pulled me into his arms.
I punched him again. "No thanks. Go buy me some food."
"What food? You're awake, let's go home. I'm happy today and will cook for you personally."
