When Qiao Nancheng stammered out these words, the room fell silent, and no one made a sound.
Ji Yebai gave him a meaningful look, with a gaze full of surprise.
Ning Xixi twisted her fingers, unsure of how to respond.
The one with the biggest reaction, however, was Yu Qiange. After hearing it, she looked at Qiao Nancheng, then glanced at Ning Xixi, and couldn't help but burst into tears.
Ning Xixi: "..."
Ji Yebai: "..."
Qiao Nancheng: "..."
The young girl cried even harder, as if utterly heartbroken, alarming the nurse who came rushing in.
"What happened? Did the patient have a medical issue?"
"N-no…" Yu Qiange sobbed, hiccupping as she spoke, "I'm just so sad."
The nurse stood speechless for a few moments, then quietly retreated, thoughtfully closing the door behind her.
"Get some rest, we'll leave now." Ning Xixi broke the awkward atmosphere, gesturing towards the door.
Qiao Nancheng smiled, "Okay."
Ning Xixi turned to leave, but Qiao Nancheng called out to her, "Xixi."
