Li Weihuan had lost his ring and his heart; naturally, she wanted to figure out a way to bring him back.
When curious people came to ask, she looked up again and saw nothing but darkness, her consciousness blurred!
She reached out and groped around, wanting to grab onto something, because the darkness scared her.
That sensation reminded her of running in the darkness six years ago!
She still remembered telling herself to find the police at that time.
If she found the police, they could save her parents.
But when she eventually found the police, there was nothing on the streets apart from the eerie darkness.
She stood there biting her lip, stubbornly refusing to leave, saying she was waiting for her parents to come backâ¦
A warm hand touched her palm, holding her slightly trembling little hand tightly.
She paused for a moment, and inexplicably became peaceful.
On her quivering wet eyelashes, there were still traces of tears.
â¦
When Nanxi woke up, she moved her body and felt energyless all over.
Her head was dizzy, and she also felt slightly nauseousâ¦
She frowned and opened her eyes.
Her vision gradually sharpened, carving out the face of a man piece by piece.
She was stunned for a moment; her thin lips moved slightly, almost subconsciously reaching out to touch the manâs face â
âWhyâ¦
why can I always see you in my dreams?â
The man by the bed shivered, and the two people standing behind him silently exited the room, closing the door behind them.
â¦
Outside the room, Gui Xi looked at Liang Qiaoqiao who was waiting outside and asked with curiosity, âQiaoqiao, is she really your cousin?
Blood-related?â
Liang Qiaoqiao gave him a glance, put her hands on her hips, âWhat, we donât look alike?â
Gui Xi smiled, âNo, thatâs not what I meant.
I just think fate is mystical; we all revolve and still end up in the same circleâ¦
Okay, enough about this.
Itâs noon, shall we have lunch together?â
Liang Qiaoqiaoâs refined face lit up, âWhat, is Doctor Gui asking me out?â
Gui Xi shrugged, âIt would be an honor.â
Liang Qiaoqiao pursed her lips, the corners of her bright lips curled up in a smile, âSure, if Doctor Gui is treating, I canât refuse.â
Gui Xiâs mood immediately brightened.
He looked at Mo Yan standing behind Liang Qiaoqiao, âWould you like to join us?â
Mo Yan gave him a glance.
It was clear Gui Xi didnât really want to invite him.
He didnât care, he casually said, âNo need!
Thanks!â
Gui Xi had a regretful expression, âWell, I wonât force you!â He told Liang Qiaoqiao, âQiaoqiao, letâs go!â
Liang Qiaoqiao glanced at Mo Yan and nodded.
Then she walked away with Gui Xi.
â¦
Inside the ward, Nanxi felt like everything was a dream.
What she didnât know was that her muttering in sleep had caused quite a ripple in the heart of the man sitting next to the bedâ¦
Lu Yinchu took a deep breath to suppress the burgeoning emotions in his heart.
Was he the one who cared too much?
He reached out a hand, touching her pale cheek and her dry lips, he bent down and gently kissed her, âAre you still uncomfortable?â
His voice was as soft as the spring breeze in March.
Nanxi blinked; inside her dark eyes was a sparkling glow.
Her brain was still misty, so she subconsciously nodded, âA littleâ¦â
The manâs brows furrowed, the hand holding hers tightened a bit, he said with a reprimanding tone, âItâs good to feel a bit uncomfortable, to learn a lessonâ¦â
Nanxi was stunned, her body jerked when she heard this.
This feeling was too real, not like a dream at all!
She became flustered for a moment, and quickly withdrew the hand held by the man.
Her eyes flickered, âIâ¦
Iâm fineâ¦â
âNanxi, donât panic!â
Lu Yinchuâs voice was as calm as ever, gently soothing her heart, stirring an inexplicable roughness.
She instinctively wanted to turn her head away!
âNanxi, I remember telling you that even though weâre pretending to be a couple, you can still depend on me!
Just like you would rely on your real boyfriendâ¦â
ââ¦â Nanxi bit her lip, not knowing what to say for a moment.
When she touched his face just now, she thought she was dreaming.
She was confused about why she could always see him in her dreams, and why she would say something so ambiguous out loud.
Did he misunderstand something?
âIâm sorryâ¦I justâ¦I mistook you for someone else!â
Her explanation sounded ridiculous, yet it was possibly the best alibi she could come up with in this awkward situation!
Because I mistook you for someone else, thatâs why I touched your face and said those wordsâ¦
That was itâ¦
because I got you mixed up with someone else!
âI knowâ¦â
Lu Yinchuâs lips curled up, âRest assured, I didnât misunderstand anythingâ¦â
Nanxi looked at him incredulously, did he really not misunderstand?
But why did she feel like he had just kissed herâ¦
âAre you thirsty?â
As Nanxi stared in confusion, Lu Yinchuâs voice sounded again!
His voice was still magnetic and warm, hardly revealing any emotions!
Nanxi pursed her lips, then, remembering something, she asked, âHow did I end up here?â
âYou suffered from heatstroke and were sent to the medical office.
I happened to be at H University, saw you, and so I brought you to the hospital!â
âOh!â Nanxi pursed her lips again, âThank you, Mr.
Lu!â
âYouâre welcome.â His lips curled again, repeating his earlier question, âAre you thirsty?â
Nanxiâs mouth was dry, tasteless.
She was naturally thirsty and didnât want to pretend otherwise, so she nodded.
Lu Yinchu got up to get some water, which made Nanxi feel embarrassed.
She wondered why he didnât just ask a nurse instead of serving her himself.
She got flustered!
âCan you sit up?â
As Nanxi was grappling with her feelings, Lu Yinchu was already walking over with a cup of water.
He softly asked her when he stood by her bedside.
Nanxi nodded, using her weak arms to prop herself up, but she didnât have any strength in her arms!
Together with her head still feeling hazy and uncomfortable, sheâ¦
failed!
âDonât move, let me help you!â
He put the cup of water on the table by the bed, two strong arms reaching towards her.
Before Nanxi could refuse, she was already in his arms!
Her arms were helped up, and she weakly let him move her.
Then he sat next to her, allowing her to lean against himâ¦
The fresh mint scent mixed with a faint tobacco smell entered Nanxiâs nostrils, she felt uncomfortable and wanted to say something, but couldnât, due to his gentle voice.
âYouâre too weak, bear with it for a while, youâll be fine once youâve had some waterâ¦â
Having said that, he picked up the cup of tea and brought it to her lips, leaving no room for refusal!
Nanxi suppressed her discomfort, reached out for the cup, and he didnât stop her, but instead enfolded her hand that was holding the cup.
She froze for a second, hearing him say, âYoung lady, stop overthinking and drink the water!â
Nanxi was stunned for a moment.
For some reason, being called a âyoung ladyâ seemed to lessen her emotional burden significantly!
Thatâs right, heâs ten years older than her.
In his eyes, sheâs probably still a child, a young lady!
In that case, he couldnât possibly have other ulterior thoughts about her!
She was overthinking!
After finishing the water in the cup, he asked her, âDo you want more?â
Nanxi shook her head.
The water was sweet, did he put honey in it?
How come she didnât notice when he did it?
