"Suo Wei, open up! I know you are in there! I need to talk to you! I need to see..."
Bang, bang, bang!
"If you don't open this door, I will break it down! Suo Wei, answer me!"
"What are you doing here?"
Chi Cheng turned around when he heard a voice behind him. He had been so focused on banging the door of the clinic that he didn't realise that someone was behind.
"Where is he, Xiaoshuai? I...I need to see him. He hasn't been answering my calls."
"He's not here."
"Then where is he??!!" Chi Cheng stepped forward, grabbing Xiaoshuai by his shirt collar. "Tell me!!"
A minute or two passed before Xiaoshuai slowly brought his hands up to 'peel' Chi Cheng's fist from his collar. As he did so, he breathed out deeply, trying to maintain his composure. It would not do any of them good to start a fight out here in public, not with Suo Wei in...
"I'll take you to him. We'll take your car."
"Where...where are we going?" A confused Chi Cheng asked.
"You'll see."
===============================
They drove in silence. Chi Cheng took the time as an opportunity to look over Xiaoshuai.
"He seems tired..." Chi Cheng thought, as he noticed the black eye bags around Xiaoshuai's eyes. "His shirt is crumpled and his hair is unkempt, as if he has been keeping late nights these past few days...".
"What's going on, Xiaoshuai?" Chi Cheng asked as soon as Xiaoshuai drove them into the carpark of the building. He had not been paying attention to his surroundings and hence, did not notice the name of the building that they have just entered.
"We're here."
"This is...?"
"The hospital."
Chi Cheng lost his temper.
"I asked you to take me to Suo Wei. NOT to bring me to the hospital! I don't need any treatme.."
"Cut off your bullshit!" Xiaoshuai shouted as he grabbed Chi Cheng by his collar. "Did you think that I will bother if you needed treatment?! I don't give a damn!"
"If it isn't for Suo Wei, I would never have brought you here. You don't deserve him..."
"Suo Wei... Suo Wei is here. He has been hospitalised."
