Love in the Midst of Mistaken Identities

Chapter 622 I Saw It

Xia Ruoxin bit another mouthful of the biscuit. It looked like she would not have any returns for today. However, she did overhear their conversation pretty clearly.

If she guessed correctly, it was like this.

Bai Luoyin had always been secretly administering drugs on Gao Yi, and then she used Wei Lan and Bai Zhenfeng going out as an excuse to put all the work—be it real or something that she purposely dug out-on Gao Yi. This would then make Gao Yi busy enough to neglect his health and would think that his deteriorating health was due to him being too tired instead of drugs.

Also, she saw that Gao Yi’s arm was wrapped that night. If Gao Yi was like other people who would not notice the difference in their wound-naturally, he would not notice the tiny needle hole there.

As for why Gao Yi’s drug addiction did not kick in, that was because Bai Luoyin would administer the drug every day. However, how could she not know that if this went on, Gao Yi would die? Even if he was a doctor, he could not save a body destroyed by drugs.

She continued hiding there, and if she was hungry, she would eat the biscuits she brought; if she was thirsty, she would drink water. She did not believe that Bai Luoyin would follow Gao Yi twenty-four hours a day. Perhaps she would have diarrhea, or something would happen to her, or she needed to meet her friends; she could not possibly follow Gao Yi around all the time. Even though she already did all of that, but Xia Ruoxin still believed that one day, Gao Yi would be left alone. Her only hope was that it would not be too late.

One more day meant one more day of danger for Gao Yi.

Bai Luoyin was a lunatic, an absolute lunatic, so she did not dare to barge straight in. If not, she would probably be thrown to the sea and fed to the fish before she even had the chance to see Gao Yi.

She waited there for three days until one day, it started to rain. She did not bring an umbrella, and it was just like the day she was chased out. The rain kept beating on her body mercilessly alongside the blowing of the cold air.

When she was cold, she would hug her own body. Under the looming of the gray sky, the pressure she felt was excruciating; and it made her breathless.

A car was driven to the gate, but it stopped. Bai Luoyin came down the car with an umbrella in her hand, and she was searching for something in her bag. After a long while, she still could not find it.

“Yi, I’ll go in to take something. Will be right back.”

“Okay,” replied Gao Yi lightly.

Bai Luoyin stepped on puddles and walked back. Today, she was wearing a pair of white heels; and the rain on the floor had quickly wet her shoes. She stopped in disgust before she carried on running.

Based on Bai Luoyin’s personality, she would not have returned to find the item only. She would probably change her shoes, her clothes, and even touch up her make-up.

Xia Ruoxin came out from the wall, and the rain continued to patter on her body and dripped down from her hair continuously. Her clothes were already drenched, and her long lashes had trapped rain droplets which rolled down from time to time.

She was like a chicken in the soup.

A drenched chicken.

Gao Yi’s nostrils shrunk as he saw the woman that looked unkempt due to the rain. He opened the car door and walked out; the wind kept blowing towards him as though there was wind pushing his sleeves inwards.

His empty sleeves had huge gaps in then, and he was now reduced to a bag of bones. He could not fit the clothes he used to wear anymore. In the past, he was energetic and gentlemanly; and Xia Ruoxin would think of ‘charming’ to describe him. Right now, Gao Yi looked just like a refugee who had starved for months.

Especially his under-eye area with his gray eye bags and his sunken cheeks.

“What are you doing here?” He furrowed his eyebrows and stood in front of Xia Ruoxin to block her from the rain and wind. Even though he did not smile and even though he sounded like he was reprimanding her, Xia Ruoxin knew that he was Gao Yi. He was still Gao Yi of the past. Gao Yi did not change; he did not change at all. He was still him, the original him.

She walked forward and held onto Gao Yi’s injured arm. Gao Yi frowned slightly but did not move her hand away.

“Are you hurt?” asked Xia Ruoxin.

Gao Yi extended his hand out of habit, but in the end, he thought of something and placed his hand down.

He rolled up his sleeve uprightly to show the mesh on his arm. “Nothing much. I was just cut by a fruit knife, but the wound keeps on getting infected. There’s nothing much. Also, what are you doing here?” Gao Yi’s eyes flashed a sign of disapproval.

“This is not your place to be; leave.” His line of sight landed on the door and when he knew that there was no one there, he heaved a sigh of relief. “Do not let Bai Luoyin see you; go further away from us.”

On the surface, his words sound heartless, but to Xia Ruoxin-even though it was a warning, it was actually his concern for her.

“She won’t be back so soon.” Xia Ruoxin raised her hand to wipe her face and pulled Gao Yi’s arm to walk closer inside to use the wall to hide their figures. Thankfully, it was raining; and Bai Luoyin went back in. Thankfully, she had many problems and would not be back out so soon.

She did not have much time, and she could not say explain everything clearly.

“Gao Yi, listen to me. We don’t have much time.” Xia Ruoxin wiped away the rain on her face again. “Don’t talk; listen to me,” interrupted Xia Ruoxin. She pulled Gao Yi’s sleeves up and rolled it up to remove his bandage.

Gao Yi did not move and allowed the bandage on his arm to be removed layer by layer.

After the bandage was removed, a long wound was indeed behind it. The wound had signs of suppurating, and behind the meat, there was a scab forming at one portion. The wound was hideous, and one could only wonder how it came about.

“Look at it yourself.” Xia Ruoxin raised Gao Yi’s arm and placed it in front of him. “You are a doctor; you know this.”

Gao Yi lowered his head and found many needle spots gathered together. There was a whir in his head, and he seemed to not be able to hear anything or see anything clearly.

He raised his arm again in disbelief, and what he noticed was no longer the wound... but the needle holes outside it.

“I didn’t...” murmured Gao Yi. He was not stupid enough to take drugs. Normal people would not even take this kind of stuff, let alone him, a doctor.

“I know.” Xia Ruoxin used the bandage to wrap his arm again. “I saw it.”
