You're My Only Star

While helping Xia Yu to apply some ice, the doctor that Lin You invited finally arrived. Huo Yun Chen stepped aside as he watched the doctor doing a check-up on Xia Yu.

Huo Yun Chen finally heaved a breath of relief upon hearing that there was no problem with Xia Yu.

He sent the doctor to the door and returned to Xia Yu\'s side, carrying the food that Lin You had ordered earlier. He brought the food to the table and started to spread them on the table.

"Have something to eat first," Huo Yun Chen said. "Later, you should go and get some rest."

Xia Yu glanced toward the door and thought that it has been a while since the last time she saw Lin You. "Where\'s Lin You? Let\'s ask her to eat together."

"She went to meet Brother Xiang to discuss a few things."

Her heartbeat accelerated. Since Lin You was not in the room, then, does it mean that there were only the two of them in the room?

Xia Yu began to panic. She stared at the chopstick in front of her with a dazed look on her face.

"Eat." Huo Yun Chen tilted his head to one side and flashed her a teasing smile. "Or would you rather let me feed you?"

Her eyes widened and Xia Yu quickly grabbed the chopstick from him. Sensing that the man was still looking at her, Xia Yu lowered her head and ate her food in silence.

Each time that she had finished a food, Huo Yun Chen would put another dish into her bowl.

The food was delicious but with Huo Yun Chen beside her, Xia Yu could not taste the food properly as she was too anxious. At a time like this, Xia Yu didn\'t even know what she had eaten.

By the time she came to her senses, her stomach was full and her portion of food was finished.

Xia Yu put her bowl down on the table and watched Huo Yun Chen unbox his portion of food and started to eat. It turned out that Huo Yun Chen was waiting for her to finish her food before he ate his portion.

A warm feeling surged in her heart.

Xia Yu could not remember when was the last time that someone had treated her this way or cared whether she had eaten or not.

Back then, when she was still working as a nurse, Xia Yu was always busy that she would forget to eat her meal. Other than the head nurse, no one would remind her to eat.

Thinking about the head nurse made her feel sad. Xia Yu remember the offer she had to pass due to her injury. It was the head nurse who had convinced her to apply to further her study. She got the offer but could not continue her study.

"Do you want to go and rest?"

Xia Yu snapped out of her trance and saw that Huo Yun Chen was smiling at her.

"You\'re probably a little tired after everything," Huo Yun Chen continued. "The doctor said, you will need a lot of rest." He tapped the tip of her nose and smiled. "Stop thinking about everything and just sleep on it. You would feel better afterward."

Xia Yu hesitated for a brief second and nodded. "Alright."

There were only the two of them in the room. It would be best if she go and rest rather than be alone with Huo Yun Chen.

Each time that she saw him, Xia Yu would be reminded of Huo Yun Chen\'s confession and the answer that she had promised to give him.

At this time, she was still not ready to give any answer. Her heart and her head were still in a mess.

Huo Yun Chen put down the cutlery in his hand and stood up. Without saying a word, he scooped Xia Yu into his arms, surprising her.

"What are you doing?"

Huo Yun Chen raised a brow. "Taking you into the room. With your legs, are you planning to walk into the room?"

Her ears were close to his chest. Xia Yu could hear the vibration as Huo Yun Chen spoke. His voice made her a little weak.

"Don\'t worry. You can rest at ease. I won\'t disturb you as you sleep," Huo Yun Chen said. He pushed the door with his foot and placed her gently on the soft mattress.

After tucking her into the bed, Huo Yun Chen placed a kiss on her forehead and smiled. "Rest well, Xia Yu."

Xia Yu blinked at that unexpected kiss.

When she finally snapped out of her trance, the man was no longer in the room. Xia Yu stared at the ceiling for a long time before she finally pulled the blanket over her head.

That man... what was he doing? Why would he suddenly...

Her face was a little warm and Xia Yu was screaming internally.

She was helpless and clueless in this situation.

And Huo Yun Chen... who could tell that this man would be so sneaky?

Xia Yu was no longer thinking about the scene at the court and instead, her mind was filled with the thought of Huo Yun Chen.

It took Xia Yu a long time tossing and turning on the bed, Xia Yu finally fell asleep.

She woke up a couple of hours later when the phone on the side table started to ring. Xia Yu reached for her phone and

She woke up a couple of hours later when the phone on the side table started to ring. Xia Yu reached for her phone and noticed a stick-it note beside it.

It was a note from Huo Yun Chen, reminding her to call for him when she woke up.

Her face turned red again. She did not even realize when did Huo Yun Chen enter the room to leave the note. Thinking of how he had seen her sleeping face made her shy.

The phone in her hand continued to ring.

Xia Yu looked at the caller ID and was surprised to see Nurse Shen\'s name.

After a brief hesitation, Xia Yu took a deep breath and accepted the phone call.

"Xia Yu," Nurse Shen\'s worried voice was heard on the other line. "Are you alright?"

"I\'m alright." Xia Yu began to feel that it was strange for Nurse Shen to be asking her this question.

"I saw the video circulating on the internet," Nurse Shen said. "Xia Yu, I did not know that such a thing would happen to you. Why didn\'t you tell me anything? Back then, did you quit your job because of your family matters?."

It took her a few seconds to guess that Nurse Shen was talking about what happened at the court. Earlier, there were a few people who had taken out their phones to record how her mother had scolded her as an unfilial daughter.

"I heard that you were injured after falling from the second floor. Is that why you did not accept that offer?"

Xia Yu lowered her gaze. "Sorry, Nurse Shen."

"What are you sorry for? This isn\'t your fault." Nurse Shen heaved a helpless sigh.

"You should feel disappointed. After all, you have worked hard to help me apply for that intake."

"Why would I feel disappointed? Xia Yu, as your boss, I am always proud of you. You\'re a good nurse. Otherwise, I wouldn\'t recommend your name. Look, it doesn\'t matter if you could not join this intake. You could always reapply.. I will help you in any way that I can."
