37: Chapter 36: Compensation

37 -36: Compensation

Knowing it was Tang Xi who saved him, Xiao Chi wanted to say thank you, but he opened his mouth and, out of pride, didn’t say anything.

Tang Xi stood up, saw that he was alright, and said indifferently, “Go to the hospital for a chest CT to check, just in case you got water in your lungs to avoid infection.”

Xiao Chi looked at her, or more accurately, stared at her, as if he couldn’t see through this woman in front of him.

Watching Tang Xi turn to leave.

Xiao Chi followed, “Hey, where are you going?”

Tang Xi glanced at him, “Going home.

Do you think you should still be here partying considering your condition, young master Xiao?”

Xiao Chi paused and then said, “I…

I’ll take you home…”

“No need.”

“Tang…

Tang Xi….” Xiao Chi called out to her retreating figure, wanting to say thank you, just watching Tang Xi’s figure get further and further away. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

Xiao Chi watched her figure, slightly lost in thought.

Behind him, Song Ziling and the others hurried over, “Brother Chi, are you alright?” Seeing Xiao Chi standing alive and well, Song Ziling finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Just now, when Xiao Chi was engulfed by the sea, he and a friend had gone down to look for him but couldn’t find him anywhere, which scared Song Ziling into a cold sweat.

If the young master of the Xiao Family had an accident while out with them, patriarch Xiao would surely skin them alive.

Xiao Chi looked at the few people in front of him, “Who pushed Tang Xi into the water?”

A young man walked out with his head lowered in fear, “I…

I…

I didn’t think it through…” he just wanted to play the hero saving the beauty.

“Damn it, are you crazy?” Xiao Chi angrily gave him a kick.

The young man clutched his abdomen and fell to the ground.

Xiao Chi still felt unsatisfied and went to kick him again, but was held back by Song Ziling, “Brother Chi, Xiaolin didn’t do it on purpose…”

“Luckily Tang Xi can swim; otherwise, I’d be dead tonight too.”

“Is this Tang Xi’s phone?” Song Ziling picked up a cell phone from the ground that had been soaked through, and it couldn’t be turned on.

Xiao Chi took it and glanced at it, noting the model had been out of date for several years, it would even seem outdated on the second-hand market…

After all, the Su Family is a jewelry company, how come Tang Xi’s stuff is so shabby, remembering her daily simple attire, cool and calm demeanor, and dislike of smiling.

Such a somewhat dowdy and poor woman, and he, Xiao Chi, had actually been chasing her for a week without success.

He went back to the deck with a few brothers; their party tonight was an all-nighter, having booked the entire cruise ship, and Song Ziling was a bit worried about him, “Brother Chi, should we go to the hospital to check?”

Xiao Chi didn’t feel anything wrong with his body and waved his hand, “It’s fine, no big deal.”

A woman with a swaying waist came over, “Young master Xiao, are you okay?

We were scared to death just now.”

The woman rubbed her voluptuous body against his arm, but at this moment, Xiao Chi, looking at her heavy makeup and the strong scent of women’s perfume in the sea breeze, frowned with a look of disgust, “Go away, don’t bother me.”

In his mind, however, he recalled the natural beauty and coolness of Tang Xi’s bare face.

He paused for a moment.

Tang Xi lost her phone, the money in her bag was waterlogged, and she took a taxi home.

The cab driver was also nice, seeing her drenched and even showing concern.

The waterlogged bills were accepted by the driver too.

Tang Xi repeatedly thanked him and went home to take a hot shower.

The next day, Tang Xi still caught a cold.

Waking up in the morning, her throat was sore and her nose was stuffed.

She sat up, took her temperature, and though she wasn’t feverish, she was hit by a severe cold.

At the hospital, Tang Xi changed her clothes and saw Ruan Youqing yawning wearily as she changed.

Tang Xi frowned and asked, “What’s wrong, did you not sleep well last night?”

Ruan Youqing glanced at her, dark circles under her eyes.

“Yixing’s mom had a stroke and collapsed last night, the neighbor called me.

They took her to the clinic, and when I arrived, it wasn’t looking good, so I brought her to our hospital overnight.

She’s now staying in the neurology ward,” she explained.

“Why did the neighbor call you instead of Zhao Yixing?

It’s his mother, not yours…”

Since Zhao Yixing went abroad to study these past few years, Ruan Youqing had made many sacrifices for him.

She paid for his education and took care of his sick mother.

Ruan Youqing laughed, “Even if they had called him, he couldn’t come back.

He’s about to graduate; it’s just a matter of a few days.”

“You’re just too careless…

Has Lin Quan left?”

Ruan Youqing patted Tang Xi on the shoulder, “Lin Quan and Yixing are classmates, and he’s been helpful to his work.

As his girlfriend, I think I should try to be understanding…” She trailed off, her gaze falling, “He said he hopes I can trust him.”

“You actually believe what men say…” Tang Xi and Ruan Youqing stepped out of the changing room.

Her throat hurt like fire, her voice hoarse, “Anyway, make sure you save some money to yourself.

Don’t give all your earnings to Zhao Yixing.

He’s a grown man; he can earn his own money through work too…”

“Alright, alright, I get it.” Ruan Youqing forced a smile, hiding the fatigue on her face, “Stop worrying about me.

Look at yourself, you haven’t seen how you sound for a day, caught a nasty cold…”

Tang Xi shrugged, “I’ve had bad luck recently, running into a scoundrel…”

After the morning meeting and rounds, a nurse passed by Tang Xi, “Doctor Tang, someone is looking for you at the nurse station.”

Tang Xi nodded; she had just finished her rounds and now had a brief moment of respite.

She walked to the nurse station and from a distance saw a young man dressed in black sportswear, holding flowers and laughing playfully with sunglasses on, leaning on the nurse station while a female nurse blushed as she looked at him.

Tang Xi stopped in her tracks.

The next second, she turned and walked in the opposite direction.

Xiao Chi took off his sunglasses, “Hey, Tang Xi.”

He walked over to Tang Xi holding the flowers, prompting the patients and nurses passing by to glance over.

Two female nurses whispered among themselves.

Most were surprised; there had been someone crazily pursuing Tang Xi, sending flowers daily, and they all thought it must’ve been some greasy, fat man.

But who would have guessed it was a handsome, wealthy young master from a rich family?

Their eyes filled with envy as they looked at Tang Xi.

Tang Xi frowned, “Xiao Chi, what are you doing here?”

“Really, you’re such an unamusing and unaffectionate ice beauty.

You look so pretty when you smile, don’t frown the moment you see me.

I came…

to thank you for last night, thank you for saving me,” he said.

“Just fulfilling my duties as a doctor.”

Seeing that she was about to leave, Xiao Chi grabbed her arm.

“This is for you.”

A cold object was pushed into Tang Xi’s hand, and she looked down to find a cell phone.

The latest model iPhone.

Xiao Chi said, “Your phone is so beat up; consider this compensation.”

“Thank you, Young Master Xiao.” Tang Xi did not reject the gift.

“I’ve applied for your leave, starting this Wednesday.

Accompany me to a place to relax and take a vacation trip.

Don’t refuse.

Chen Jinyan will be there too.

Don’t you want to talk to him about your younger brother?” he proposed.

Hearing that Chen Jinyan would also come, Tang Xi did indeed hesitate.

Seeing her hesitate, Xiao Chi immediately said, “Alright, it’s settled then.

I’ll pick you up on Wednesday.”
