"The flight is at ten-thirty, so I can’t go in to see Auntie. Please send her my regards and tell her I’ll come back to see her after the New Year." Afraid of being ignored by Lin Yixun, Ouyang Hao teased, "Even if you still don’t want to see me, you should at least bring my regards to Auntie, right?"
Lin Yixun hesitated for a moment, but eventually nodded.
Seeing this, Ouyang Hao couldn’t help but feel delighted and leaned in to tightly embrace her. He held her so tightly, as if trying to merge her into his bones.
Just as Lin Yixun was about to push him away, she heard his low and tender voice by her ear, "Yixun, wait for me to come back!"
Ouyang Hao’s voice seemed to have a magical power, causing Lin Yixun’s resisting hand to freeze in mid-air. His words echoed in her heart, every syllable enough to shake her soul.
Clearly, it was just an ordinary phrase.
Lin Yixun thought she must be enchanted.
She forced herself to stay calm, hiding all her emotions well until Ouyang Hao left. As the elevator doors closed, she suddenly turned her head and stared blankly at the already closed doors, unable to calm her heart for a long time.
In the few days after Ouyang Hao left, it was as if he had evaporated from the world, with no news at all, not even a single text message. Although Lin Yixun’s face showed no sign of it, her heart began to feel uneasy.
Could something have happened to him?
Deep in thought, Lin Yixun didn’t notice that the boiling water in her cup had overflowed. The sudden sharp pain on the back of her hand abruptly pulled her back to reality. Lin Yixun quickly let go, and the cup shattered on the floor, breaking into pieces. Her hand was scalded by the hot water.
She hurriedly washed the injured area with cold water, but in no time, blisters had formed on her burnt skin. Since the burned area was quite large, Lin Yixun decided to go to the clinic for a check-up.
Fortunately, although the burn looked scary, it wasn’t serious. The doctor prescribed her some medication, saying it would be fine with internal and external treatment for a week.
Lin Yixun felt reassured, and after getting her wound dressed at the nurse’s station, she was about to go downstairs when she unexpectedly ran into Cheng Ying. Even though Cheng Ying had wrapped herself up tightly, Lin Yixun still recognized her.
Lin Yixun wasn’t curious at all about why Cheng Ying was at the clinic, as it was her own business and had nothing to do with Lin Yixun. Recalling their unpleasant encounters before, Lin Yixun decided it would be wise to avoid her. Just then, Cheng Ying called out to her.
"Yixun, long time no see!"
Lin Yixun stopped in her tracks, thinking that Cheng Ying wouldn’t do anything drastic in a public place, so she didn’t avoid her anymore.
After all, she didn’t owe Cheng Ying anything and wasn’t afraid of her.
They were not familiar with each other, nor did they like each other. Cheng Ying taking the initiative to greet her, what was her purpose? What plan did she have in mind?
It didn’t take Lin Yixun long to understand. Cheng Ying was standing right at the entrance of the obstetrics department, and calling out to her in that spot was undoubtedly intended to convey something.
Lin Yixun’s lips curled up slightly, a hint of sarcasm flashing in her eyes. At this point, did Cheng Ying still think she could use this to provoke her?
Just then, Lin Yixun saw a familiar figure approaching them. Memory truly is frightening; even though the person was wearing sunglasses and a mask, Lin Yixun recognized him instantly.
The man’s strides were long and hurried, his tightly furrowed brows and the cold aura he exuded made it clear how anxious and angry he was.
Seeing this, the sarcasm in Lin Yixun’s eyes deepened. What was this? Seeing her together with Cheng Ying made him so nervous? She hadn’t even done anything to harm Cheng Ying, had she?
