Chapter 928: Chapter 928: I Like It When You Bully Me
She thought he just had a common cold, but after going to the hospital, she found out his cold was quite serious. If not treated in time, it could develop into pneumonia.
After the nurse set up the IV for Leng Yan, Xia Nuo went out and bought a bowl of congee for him.
After taking care of him and watching him eat a bowl, she called a classmate, asking for help to take a leave of absence, as she couldn’t make it to the evening self-study session.
After hanging up the phone, Leng Yan asked her, “Xia Nuo, you won’t leave, right?”
“At least not until your IV is finished,” Xia Nuo said calmly.
Confirming she wouldn’t leave, Leng Yan smiled lightly and then fell asleep with ease.
Watching him close his eyes, Xia Nuo dared to look closely at his face.
Lately, she had been distant and cold towards him, deliberately not walking home with him after school. Yet she knew he always waited for her to return home, keeping a distance but following behind.
He thought she didn’t know, but she was just pretending not to know.
Originally, she thought he would recognize reality within a month and no longer like her, but he still hadn’t given up.
How could she dare to get closer to him with his persistence?
Sigh, why couldn’t he just be her little brother, why did he have to fall for her?
The brat, even if he liked her, shouldn’t have said it out loud; now they couldn’t even remain siblings in name.
Xia Nuo grew more annoyed the more she thought about it, and she couldn’t help but pinch his nose and mouth, preventing him from breathing.
Leng Yan held his breath for five seconds, then laughed, pulling her hand away while coughing, “Xia Nuo, are you trying to suffocate me?”
“I was, but then I woke up just now.” He tightly held her hand, smiling at her, “I thought you never planned to bully me again.”
Xia Nuo glared, “When have I ever bullied you?”
“Xia Nuo, I like it when you bully me; bully me for a lifetime, don’t deliberately avoid me, okay?” Leng Yan said seriously.
Xia Nuo’s heart skipped a beat. She wanted to pull her hand away, but he held it tightly, not letting her go.
“Xia Nuo, what are you afraid of?” he suddenly asked her. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⁂𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⁂𝘯𝘦𝘵
“What would I be afraid of? I’m not afraid of anything!”
“No, you’re afraid of liking me.”
Xia Nuo’s face turned very red, not sure if it was from anger or something else.
Her voice trembled as she said, “Leng Yan, you’re going too far! I was nice to you because I saw you as a brother. Don’t think I’ll let you do whatever you want.”
Leng Yan stared at her seriously, “I’ve never seen you as my sister. I like you, and I’ve been very clear about what that means from the start. Xia Nuo, you’re avoiding me just because I’m younger than you. I may be young, but once I’m eighteen, I won’t be young anymore. Xia Nuo, give me a few years to see if I’m really serious about you, okay?”
“I don’t have the time to verify your sincerity! Let go quickly, and you are not allowed to like me anymore, or you’re not allowed to come to my house in the future!”
These words were quite severe, and Leng Yan pursed his lips, saying softly, “Okay, I’ll let you go, but don’t leave, I’m really not feeling well right now.”
He released her, and Xia Nuo originally planned to leave immediately.
But he said he was feeling very unwell, so she hesitated about leaving.
Seeing he looked unwell, he probably was truly feeling bad. Since she had already brought him to the hospital, she might as well wait until he finished the IV and then take him home.
After the IV was done, the doctor said if the cold wasn’t better by tomorrow, he should continue with the treatment.
