Bo Xi felt his fists clench even tighter. William was getting a beating today, no matter what.
"By the way, what happened with that patient throwing something at you?" Bo Xi hadn't expected anyone at that hospital to dare attack An Shi. It didn't make sense.
"The patient was delirious and mistook me for his son." An Shi had a headache over it too, but that was how hospitals were. All kinds of emergencies cropped up, and he had never liked talking about them.
At a time like that, who cared about your status?
Bo Xi still eyed William with hostility. "What are you doing at An Shi's house? Who gave you permission to go into his room?"
William felt rather helpless too. He gave his old friend, who showed him no sympathy whatsoever, a reproachful look. "You're the one who hasn't been home these past few days. What else could I do? I had to come find An~"
Bo Xi: ...
Excuses.
Before the two could argue any further, An Shi shooed them both back into the living room. He changed and came downstairs, about to pour Bo Xi a glass of water, when he heard insistent knocking at the door.
Outside, Qi Sijing called anxiously, "An Shi! An Shi, open the door!"
At the commotion, An Shi suspected something had happened again. He jogged to the door and found a soaking-wet Qi Sijing with Lin Xingye in his arms.
"Come with me."
An Shi calmly pulled Qi Sijing toward his examination room. Bo Xi, however, got a fright. He forgot all about William and followed them straight over.
"Star? What happened?" An Shi kept the other two outside and carried Star in himself. All Bo Xi could do was fetch a bath towel from the guest bathroom downstairs
