As they were talking, the door of the elevator slowly opened. Xia Xingcheng stepped into the opened elevator and looked back with a smile.

"Are you surprised? Ha-ha, I'm leaving now!"

Looking at Xia Xingcheng's disappearing figure, Zhou Daiwei had face become livid.

He gnashed his teeth and became more furious when he heard Xia Xingcheng’s sarcasm.

He had played by unspoken rules and secretly contacted the crew in order to get the male supporting role for Song Yang. But he failed. At that time, Zhou Daiwei had a bad feeling about it.

He stood there angrily, unwilling to believe that his foreboding had come true.

Xia Xingcheng worried about not being on time for Gu Yaoxi’s surgery. When she arrived at the hospital, she was sweating from running.

But fortunately, she made it. She finally got to the hospital on time.

Seeing Xia Xingcheng coming, there were sparkles of light in Gu Xingxi’s eyes. But it only lasted for a moment, then it was covered by shadows.

Knowing his concerns, Xia Xingcheng got nervous too. She went straight to the hospital bed, where Yaoxi was undergoing an examination.

"You came, great! I'm so happy you're here."

The girl in the hospital bed was pale and frail. And her emaciating face made her eyes look even bigger.

Fortunately, Yaoxi had been very calm. Xia Xingcheng felt a little relieved. She went up to Yaoxi and took her delicate hand.

"I’m here now. We will be here for you, don't be afraid, ok?”

"I’m not afraid. I’m very happy with you here." Even though her body was in pain, Yaoxi insisted on not showing too much of it, fearing that might worry them.

Seeing the way Yaoxi looked, Xia Xingcheng felt sorrier for her. Taking this time, she said to her, "Yaoxi, your brother has been cast for the male supporting role in 'Love Through Time 2’. He is extraordinary. So, you have to be strong and get through this, ok?"

Yaoxi's eyes lit up when she heard this. She had wished for so many times that her brother could act again. Now it finally came true, how could she not be happy?

"My brother is awesome. I can finally see my brother's acting. I'm so glad." Her eyes were filled with delight. She reached out her hands to hold her brother’s and Xia Xingcheng's hand tightly. Her voice was slow but firm. "Don’t worry, I will come out alive. I'm gonna watch you become famous.”

Saying that, tears silently fell from Yaoxi's eyes onto the pillow.

"Sis, don't worry, I will become famous for sure. But you must be strong now, get through this, ok? I can't live without you."

Saying that, Gu Xingxi burst into tears.

Gu Xingxi could no longer hold back his emotions. He cried out silently holding his sister, a grown man crying like a child now.

Looking at such a scene, Xia Xingcheng also lost control a little. She quietly looked away, raised her head so that her tears wouldn’t fall down.

Sometimes God was really unfair to humans. Yaoxi was such a kind and lovely child. Why should she suffer all of this?

After a moment, the doctor came in and announced that the surgery was about to take place.

Gu Xingxi had no choice but to leave the ward and wait by the door of the operating room with Xia Xingcheng.

He stood straight intensely. At the moment, on his handsome and youthful face, there was sadness which he shouldn’t have at his age. His clenching fists showed how nervous he was.

Xia Xingcheng went over and patted him on his shoulder. "It’s ok. The surgery is gonna be a success. Stop worrying.”

Seeing Xia Xingcheng, put Gu Xingxi’s nervous heart at ease somewhat. But his face still looked worried.

"I am really scared that my sister’s surgery would go sideways and she won't come out alive. I'm so scared." Gu Xingxi mumbled to himself like a helpless child.

"It won't happen. Be positive. You should believe that Yaoxi will make it through. You are her brother. If you fall apart now, what would she do when she wakes up?"

Xia Xingcheng was comforting him. She knew that any words would be pale and powerless, only company and encouragement would help.

They sat on the bench at the end of the hallway. Time passed second by second. For the first time, Xia Xingcheng had a feeling that one second could felt like a year.

It had been a long time, the surgery was still going on. Gu Xingxi had been staring at the light on the door of the operation room. He began to sweat unconsciously, feeling unprecedentedly nervous.

It was unbearable for Xia Xingcheng to see him like that. As she was about to comfort Gu Xingxi more, her phone in her purse suddenly rang.

The call was from the kindergarten teacher. Xia Xingcheng went to find a quiet place to take the call.

"Teacher, what's the matter?" Xia Xingcheng asked.

"Bao is injured. You should come over now!" The teacher was slightly anxious on the phone.

Xia Xingcheng's face immediately changed. She did not expect such a thing to happen. She immediately scolded the teacher: "What happened? How could you let it happen to my child?"

The teacher hesitated for a moment and said at last: “You don't have to worry. It's complicated to explain on the phone. You should come over. "

"Well, I see."

Xia Xingcheng hung up the phone hurriedly. Of course, she was going to go over. She had no idea what happened to Bao. She was worried to death!

"There's an emergency. Call me if you need me." Xia Xingcheng had no time to explain. She said to Gu Xingxi hurriedly and was about to leave.

Seeing Xia Xingcheng did not look well, Gu Xingxi was worried about her. “What’s wrong? Is everything all right?"

"It's all right. I can handle it. You stay here with Yaoxi. I'm gonna go now.”

After saying that, Xia Xingcheng left the hospital immediately, her walk showed how anxious she was.

Her son, he’d better be ok. Otherwise, she wouldn't know what to do.

With no delay, Xia Xingcheng grabbed a taxi and rushed to the kindergarten. There was unprecedented anxiety and worry on her face.

Thinking of the teacher’s words, Xia Xingcheng comforted herself: “It is okay. Bao will be all right."

Arriving at the kindergarten, Xia Xingcheng immediately saw Bao with dirt and some blood on his face, looking so pitiful.

Xia Xingcheng’s heart ached. She quickly ran to him and held him in her arms.
