After recuperating for a few months, Xia Yu's leg was fully healed. Because of her good relationship with her co-workers as well as her good work ethic, Xia Yu was accepted to continue working for her previous hospital.
Because her video at the court had gone viral previously, her co-workers were aware of her situation and had given her their support.
Receiving their kindness made her heart warm. Xia Yu began to realize that her friends were all concerned about her.
The lawyer that she had dealt with previously had helped her to be the middleman between her and her mother. Now that did not have to meet her mother again made her feel more at ease.
In the beginning, her mother had thrown tantrums and said that she was going to make Xia Yu's life hard if she did not return to A City. With the lawyer's advice, Xia Yu continued to ignore her mother.
Furious, Mother Xia had gone to a few reporters to complain that her daughter has been unfilial. However, none of the reporters wanted to cooperate with Mother Xia.
Xia Yu did not know what did the lawyer said to her mother but after a while, her mother had stopped trying to find trouble.
In the end, Mother Xia could only agree to stay in A City quietly with the money that Xia Yu had provided for her monthly.
Xia Yu came out of the wardroom after checking on the patient's blood pressure.
Just as she closed the door, the phone in her pocket vibrated.
Her eyes lit up the moment she saw the text messages from her boyfriend.
These days, Huo Yun Chen was busy shooting some program in another state and would return in a few weeks.
Thinking that she hasn't met him for a week made her realize that she really missed him very much.
Xia Yu walked over to the nurse station to finish her job before she took out her phone to text her boyfriend back.
Ten seconds after she sent back her text, her phone vibrated again. Seeing his name in the caller ID made her heart palpate.
After saying a few words with her colleague, Xia Yu walked to the emergency staircase to answer the phone call.
"Xia Yu."
Hearing his voice calling her name was enough to make her cheek turn red.
The two of them has been together for a while but Xia Yu was still having a hard time adjusting herself to the identity of Huo Yun Chen's girlfriend.
Sometimes, she would often think that perhaps she was living in a dream. Then, she would give herself a pinch on the cheek and realized that she was in the real world.
"Are you busy?" Huo Yun Chen spoke again when the girl did not answer.
"Well, it's fine now." Xia Yu lowered her head as she tried to reason with her heart not to panic. "I wouldn't pick up your call if I am busy."
Huo Yun Chen chuckled. "Xia Yu."
"Un." These days, Xia Yu realized that Huo Yun Chen liked to call her name over and over again.
"I miss you. Do you... miss me?"
Xia Yu was screaming internally. Blood rushed to her head, making her feel a little dizzy. "When are you coming back?"
Huo Yun Chen laughed.
He could imagine his girlfriend's reddened face from thousands of miles away. The person who often had a serious look on her face surprisingly would look very adorable when she became shy.
"I'll take that as you missed me too."
Her head lowered and Xia Yu started to bite her lips.
It was the first time that she had been in a relationship. Her defense against Huo Yun Chen was very weak.
She had followed this man as his fan for years. Why didn't she know that he can be very good at flirting?
Each time that he opened his mouth, he could make her blush.
Xia Yu even suspected that Huo Yun Chen had deliberately teased her just so he could see the blush on her face.
"I might return to Capital City earlier than planned," Huo Yun Chen said. "According to the director, if everything goes smoothly, I could head back this weekend."
Her eyes lit up at the thought of meeting her lover soon. "That quick?"
"Hmm... I work hard so that I can see you very soon," Huo Yun Chen said. "Xia Yu."
"Un."
"When I return to Capital City, you should move out from Lin You's apartment."
Her expression changed and her grip on her phone tightened. Xia Yu's thoughts were going wild, thinking of the reason that Huo Yun Chen wanted her to move out.
Did this mean that he did not want her anymore?
Her body became numb.
"When I get back, you should move in with me, alright?" Huo Yun Chen continued.
Her heart skipped a beat. Xia Yu was wondering if perhaps she had misheard things.
"What did you say?"
"Move in with me, alright?" Huo Yun Chen spoke again. There was a hint of pleading in his voice. "It was difficult to see you whenever we are both busy. I hope that when I return to Capital City, I could see you whenever I want. It was too difficult to date in Lin You's apartment. I'm afraid that later, Lin You was going to complain if we continued to feed her with dog food."
The corner of her lips subconsciously turned up into a smile.
Because of Huo Yun Chen's identity, the two of them often stay at home. Each time, Huo Yun Che would come to Lin You's apartment so that he could see her.
Lin You would spend a few minutes with them before she had to come up with an excuse to leave.
Xia Yu did feel bad each time that Lin You had to leave her own apartment. But there was no other way for them to date other than meeting at Lin You's place.
However, to move in with Huo Yun Chen... Xia Yu could not imagine living with Huo Yun Chen under the same roof. Moreover, other than kissing, the two of them had not done anything.
Once they live together, then...
Xia Yu clenched her hand tightly as she thought of what might happened.
"Xia Yu, what do you think?" Huo Yun Chen spoke again when his girl did not speak for a long time. "Or so you think it's too early?"
Xia Yu pondered over his suggestion and spoke, "I will think about it."
