This feeling is even more painful than when my dad used me as a bargaining chip and bet me on someone else.
Chen Weidong, do you know I'm thinking of you?
Chen Weidong, do you know I'm waiting for you?
The next morning, I started to rush through my work.
I couldn't allow myself to relax, nor could I think about anything related to Chen Weidong.
During the video conference, I reported my progress to Gu Xing.
" President Gu, our biggest problem right now is replacing old materials with new ones."
"We first need to prove the risks of replacing a large amount of old materials in order to gain more time."
Gu Xing nodded and said, "Alright, Li Xuan, make sure to rest well."
I shook my head and replied, "I'm fine, I can continue."
Just then, I suddenly felt dizzy.
Everything went dark, and I fainted.
While unconscious, I had a dream.
I dreamed of Chen Weidong.
On my eighteenth birthday, Chen Weidong was dressed in a suit, wearing a tie, holding a bouquet of flowers, standing in front of me.
"Xuanbao, happy birthday."
"Xuanbao, happy adulthood."
I smiled as I took the flowers and asked, "Chen Weidong, why are you so formally dressed?"
Chen Weidong smiled shyly and scratched his head, saying, "It's my first time meeting an adult; of course, I have to be a bit formal."
I was taken aback for a moment before realizing what he meant.
Blushing, I said, "Chen Weidong, are you here to meet my parents?"
Chen Weidong nodded and said, "Xuanbao, can I call you Li Xuan from now on?"
"The name Xuanbao is too childish; I want you to grow up quickly."
I smiled and nodded, saying, "Chen Weidong, I will listen to you."
Then, I dreamed again about middle school,
when Chen Weidong stood in front of me, protecting me from being bullied.
"Chen Weidong, thank you."
"Chen Weidong, if it weren't for you, I really wouldn't know what to do."
Chen Weidong smiled and patted my head, saying, "Li Xuan, don't be afraid; my home is your home."
When I woke up, I found myself in the hospital.
I still had a fever.
Gu Xing was sitting next to me and said, "Li Xuan, you finally woke up."
I nodded and asked, " President Gu, how did you get here?"
Gu Xing glanced at me and said, "I called the police; I brought you to the hospital."
"Li Xuan, didn't you say you were fine?"
"Do you know your fever was almost forty degrees?"
I smiled lightly and didn't respond.
Gu Xing told me he had things to do and needed to go back to the company.
The nurse asked me to undergo some tests, and Gu Xing wanted to stay with me.
I shook my head and said, " President Gu, you should go back to the company."
"I'll call my boyfriend and have him come over to keep me company."
Gu Xing nodded and left. Before he left, he said:
"Li Xuan, if you need any help, just call me anytime."
I called Chen Weidong to ask if he had time to come to the hospital and keep me company.
On the other end of the line, Chen Weidong was silent for a moment before saying, "Xuanbao, are you sick?"
I responded with a slight "mm," and asked, "Chen Weidong, can you come to the hospital to keep me company?"
Chen Weidong declined, saying he had to go to Star City in the afternoon.
He suggested I find a friend to accompany me at the hospital.
I hung up the phone and stared blankly out the window.
So, has Chen Weidong become so indifferent that he doesn't even want to pretend to care?
Gu Xing had left, and with Chen Weidong unwilling to come, I felt abandoned in the hospital.
Like a child nobody wanted.
The doctor reviewed my scans and said I didn't have any major issues for now, but I needed to come back for a procedure early tomorrow morning.
I numbly nodded and sat alone in the hospital corridor for a long time.
It wasn't until night fell that I took a taxi home.
That night, I lay in bed and once again struggled with insomnia.
When I woke up, it was midnight.
I opened Chen Weidong's Douyin and saw he had posted a new video.
