Chapter 108: Chapter 108: This is the Last Time

Shen Yushan blinked, then blinked again before nodding blankly.

“You know Ning Yichen,” Su Zixi pursed her lips, “the person I took care of before. He recently got injured and was hospitalized because of me, so I can’t just ignore it. But my status doesn’t allow me to visit him personally. Could you please check on him at Siming Hospital when you have time, and then let me know?”

Shen Yushan’s eyes widened as she pointed at her, “Su Zixi, don’t forget you’re already a married woman!”

“I know. I don’t have those feelings for Ning Yichen anymore, really!” Su Zixi raised her hand as if taking an oath, “I’m just concerned because he was injured helping me… Just a quick check on him is all you need to do.”

“Alright. My shoulders have been sore lately, and I planned to get cupping therapy, so since you mentioned it, I’ll go to Siming Hospital,” Shen Yushan said through gritted teeth, “Siming Hospital is so expensive, I wouldn’t afford it if it weren’t for the fifty thousand from that project. By the way, do you want him to know it’s you who sent me to visit?”

Su Zixi quickly waved her hands, “No! Absolutely not! Just a look from the doorway will be enough.”

“Mmm, okay then,” Shen Yushan nodded.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Su Zixi finally breathed a little easier.

Perhaps this was the last bit of care she would show for Ning Yichen.

Even if he had forgiven Su Lianxi, something like this must matter to him, and if it affected his recovery, that wouldn’t be good…

Su Zixi found herself truly pathetic, despite countless reminders to stop thinking about that man, the three years of care and concern had become a conditioned reflex. She even subconsciously treated it as her responsibility.

Sometimes, a sense of responsibility can inspire a person to excel. Those three years, because of Ning Yichen’s presence, she felt needed, which fulfilled and satisfied her immensely.

But in fact, they had no relationship, and he never needed her concern.

This would be the last time; once he was healed and discharged, she could be at ease.

Su Zixi silently told herself.

“I’m going to ask the homeroom teacher for leave,” Su Zixi smiled slightly, “see you again at HI Group.”

Shen Yushan nodded blankly until she saw Su Zixi’s figure moving away, and then snapped out of it, “Hey! You still haven’t told me how you know He Jingyao, and also, is he handsome!”

***********

Early in the morning, Su Lianxi arrived at Siming Hospital with a thermal flask in hand.

She gently pushed open the door to Ning Yichen’s ward and first saw Ning Yichen’s assistant, Xiaofang.

Upon seeing her, Xiaofang’s expression immediately grew cold.

“Miss Lianxi, our young master does not want to see you lately.”

With swollen, red eyes and a red nose, Su Lianxi timidly said, “Then… then give this to him, I made bone soup early this morning… If he doesn’t want to see me, I’ll just leave.”

Xiaofang frowned but, seeing Su Lianxi’s tear-streaked face, finally took the thermal flask, “I will tell the young master, please go back.”

Light dimmed in Su Lianxi’s eyes, “Then, I’ll just wait outside. I know he doesn’t want to see me, but it’s my duty to care for him.”

Saying so, she walked over to a bench in the hallway and sat down, hugging her knees.

Xiaofang looked conflicted, and just then, he heard some noise behind him.

Turning around, he saw Ning Yichen, who had unknowingly come over, quietly observing Su Lianxi with crutches.
