Xuefu Jia Garden District, in a house with a somewhat traditional Chinese decor.
"Sister Chen, where's my senior? Is her stomach still hurting badly?"
Jiang Yu rushed on the way and was now somewhat out of breath. He wiped the sweat off his forehead with his hand, looked around, and couldn't help but ask in confusion,
"Huh? Where are those assistants? Didn't you call them over to help?"
"Ah Ning feels a little better now, not as much pain as before, but she was still vomiting earlier."
Pan Jingchen looked a little pale, and her voice trembled a bit when she spoke, but she still forced herself to stay calm. Taking a deep breath, she said,
"A few assistants asked for leave early yesterday morning to go to Wucheng to see the canola flowers and haven't come back yet.
I didn't expect Ah Ning's stomach to hurt so much. If I had known..."
"..."
Jiang Yu was speechless. How did Liu Xining suddenly have issues just when the assistants took leave?
Is this heaven's way of testing her adaptability?
Without having much time to gripe about these issues, he lifted his foot and walked into the house, asking while looking around,
"Is senior awake or asleep right now? Can I go in to take a look? Oh, by the way, Sister Chen, did you call 120?"
"She should be asleep. Earlier, the pain was so bad she had no strength. Let's go in together; she's in the secondary bedroom on the left."
Perhaps seeing Jiang Yu had helped Pan Jingchen to no longer feel the panic she had on the phone earlier and quickly regained her composure.
She quickly walked a few steps ahead to lead the way and continued saying,
"I wanted to call 120, but I was worried that Ah Ning and I would be recognized...
If, by any chance, the news got out, we wouldn't even have to wait until the afternoon; a big crowd of paparazzi would be swarming here. Then let's not even mention how Ah Ning won't be able to properly get treated in the hospital, even if she doesn't need to be admitted. We won't be able to stay here quietly anymore."
"..."
After listening to Pan Jingchen, Jiang Yu also felt quite sympathetic.
This is probably what people call the "troubles" of being a celebrity, always living under the spotlight. Glorious, yes, but there's no "freedom" left.
Even getting sick, you can't let anyone know, and going on vacation has to be done stealthily, like a thief.
Although Pan Jingchen was considering things quite "thoroughly," Jiang Yu didn't agree with her approach.
In his eyes, health is most important, especially in a sudden situation like Liu Xining's. You can't hesitate to call 120 emergency just because you're worried about attracting paparazzi, leaving her to suffer in pain.
If it's nothing major, that's fine, but if dragging it out causes serious consequences, you won't even have a chance to regret it.
However, despite disagreeing in his heart with Pan Jingchen's approach, Jiang Yu still refrained from openly expressing his thoughts.
One reason is that they aren't very familiar, and more importantly, Pan Jingchen's relationship with Liu Xining is obviously much closer than his; as a "half-acquaintance," he doesn't feel it's his place to say these things, which is indeed inappropriate.
Another reason is to quickly check on Liu Xining's current state and then promptly take her to the hospital for a thorough check-up.
Hopefully, Liu Xining is only experiencing some minor discomfort.
After reaching the door of the secondary bedroom, Pan Jingchen gently pushed it open, peeked inside first, and then entered, turning on the lamp on the bedside table, softly calling out:
"Ah Ning, Ah Ning..."
Seeing Liu Xining lying on her side on the bed without moving, wrapped in a quilt, she turned back and waved to Jiang Yu, signaling him to come in.
Seeing this, Jiang Yu tiptoed inside.
The room had a warm setup; pink walls paired with blue floral curtains made him feel like he'd walked into a princess's room, a somewhat magical feeling.
However, Jiang Yu soon restrained this strange feeling and quickly walked over to Pan Jingchen.
Pan Jingchen whispered, "Ah Ning seems to be asleep."
"Hmm, I'll take a look first."
Jiang Yu nodded, walked around to the other side of the bed, and quietly observed under the soft light of the lamp.
The room was overly quiet, so much so that Liu Xining's breathing while sleeping was clearly audible.
Her breathing was somewhat heavy, at times slow, at times urgent, her eyebrows occasionally furrowing. It was unclear if she was dreaming of something unpleasant or if her stomach still hurt. In any case, her sleep was not peaceful.
"Junior Brother Xiaojiang, how is Ah Ning?"
Seeing Jiang Yu with tightly furrowed brows and a serious expression, Pan Jingchen asked hesitantly, a bit nervously,
"It seems her stomach pains are gone, so should we wake her up to go to the hospital for a check-up?"
"Of course! From the looks of it, senior doesn't seem to be sleeping well. She's frowning even in her sleep, maybe her stomach still hurts, just not as badly as before. If it gets worse again when she wakes up, then what?"
Without even thinking, Jiang Yu replied without hesitation,
"Sister Chen, you yourself said that when it hurt badly earlier, she also vomited. In such a case, she must be taken to the hospital for a proper check-up; health issues can't be taken lightly."
