Over the next half month, Ouyang Hao came to the hospital almost every day.
At first, Lin Yixun tried to persuade him not to come, but later she realized that saying anything was useless. Lin Yixun gave up and simply treated him like air.
She thought that after being repeatedly turned away, Ouyang Hao would eventually give up. Who would have thought that Ouyang Hao was as stubborn as a rock. Whether it was windy or rainy, scorching sun or pouring rain, he would come to the hospital without fail, determined to stick with her to the end.
One day, Lin Yixun went downstairs to buy some fruit and happened to run into Ouyang Hao. She was a bit surprised; how could Ouyang Hao be coming out from the apartment complex across the street so early in the morning?
Ouyang Hao saw her at this moment too and raised his signature smile, "What a coincidence, meeting you here. Would you call this fate?"
Lin Yixun stared at him with a stern face, "What are you doing here?"
"Is it so strange?" Ouyang Hao shrugged, "Oh, I forgot to tell you, I now live across the hospital."
"You live in Linyi Garden?" Lin Yixun exclaimed. Why would he leave his upscale neighborhood to move here?
"I just moved yesterday and didn’t have time to tell you yet." Seeing Lin Yixun frowning at him, Ouyang Hao leaned closer and said softly, "The old place was a bit far from the hospital, moving here makes it easier to see you."
Lin Yixun continued staring at him in silence.
"Alright, alright, don’t look at me like that. Otherwise, I’ll misunderstand," Ouyang Hao said with a wink, "Otherwise, I’ll think you’re in love with me."
Lin Yixun couldn’t be bothered with him and turned to leave.
Ouyang Hao quickly followed, staying right behind her, nervously asking, "You’re not mad again, are you?"
Lin Yixun suddenly stopped, turned around and glared at him, "Stop following me!"
"The street is so wide, who says I’m following you? Is this road your family’s?"
Knowing she couldn’t outtalk him, Lin Yixun ignored him, carrying her fruit and walking faster. She wanted to shake off the tail but was caught up by Ouyang Hao and his long legs.
Ouyang Hao grabbed the fruit bag from Lin Yixun’s hand and followed her into the elevator. Coincidentally, the elevator was just the two of them, making Lin Yixun feel uncomfortable for a moment.
At this moment, Ouyang Hao was no longer acting nonchalant. He locked his eyes on Lin Yixun, and after a while, his thin lips lightly parted, "Yixun, I’m going back to my hometown today. I might not be able to come and see you and your mother for the next few days."
Seeing Lin Yixun lower her head without a trace of emotion, Ouyang Hao softly asked again, "If you don’t see me for a few days, will you miss me?"
His voice was very light, full of caution, even he found it a bit laughable. Having roamed the field of love for so many years, he considered himself a seasoned player. How come when facing Lin Yixun, he was so careful and timid.
After a long time without a response, a hint of hurt flashed in Ouyang Hao’s eyes. He sighed helplessly, "Forget it, forget it. No matter what, you won’t answer this question."
With a ding, the elevator arrived at the designated floor.
Before the elevator doors even fully opened, Lin Yixun stepped out hastily. Ouyang Hao caught up with her in a few bounds and handed the fruit bag to her.
