When the agreement was first signed, it was clearly stated that a select few of his friends could know about their relationship!
Of course, by knowing, he meant letting them believe she was his girlfriend!
Nanxi suddenly felt this request was quite outrageous!
Han Shaojing protested, "Gui Xi, as a fellow single man of a rather mature age, shouldn’t you be a little more discreet? No wonder you still can’t find a wife at 34, you deserve it!"
"Young Master Han, mind your language. It’s not that I can’t find a wife, it’s that I can’t find a wife that I deem suitable! I bet that if I shout out now, there will be a bunch of pretty nurses ready to throw themselves at me in minutes?"
Nurses? Han Shaojing gave him a disdainful look: Doctor Gui, Professor Gui, could you get any more shameless?
Nanxi was speechless watching the two men arguing. They were both over thirty years old, yet they argued like children!
Han Shaojing didn’t stay for long. Upon learning that Lu Yinchu was coming over at noon, he swiftly made his exit to avoid getting caught in the crossfire!
Han Shaojing learned of Nanxi’s hospitalization from a heatstroke by pure accident. He was originally at the hospital to collect the Han Family patriarch’s health check-up report from a few days ago, and he overheard the nurses chatting about it. Curious, he inserted himself into their conversation using his charm!
When asked by such a charming man with such grace, the nurses eagerly answered. Within two minutes of their chatter, he guessed that the "rich and infatuated handsome man" and the "delicate and gentle girl" they were describing were very likely his good friend Lu Yinchu and his soulmate, Gu Nanxi!
He sought out Gui Xi in his office to verify this. Damn it, it was true!
So, he decided to come and check on them!
But he also knew his friend’s personality very well. Since they hadn’t disclosed their relationship, he didn’t want to get too involved to avoid making things complicated!
Because he knew what twisted and tough road his friend had taken!
All this, was for a girl named Gu Nanxi!
Was it worth it? He really wanted to ask, but he feels as though he already knew the answer. So, to ask or not ask it, it was no longer important!
By noon, Lu Yinchu hadn’t arrived yet, but the lunch had been delivered, undoubtedly, it was all to Nanxi’s taste!
Nanxi eats heartedly and after getting out of bed to take a shower and change into her own clothes, she felt much refreshed!
She had been waiting in the ward for over half an hour, but Lu Yinchu hadn’t arrived. The door had been opened several times, but each time the visitor was Lun Ying!
Nanxi was getting bored being there alone, and Lun Ying obviously had to go back to her own work and couldn’t stay with her all the time. She would share only a few words with Nanxi before leaving.
So when the door opened again, Nanxi assumed it was Lun Ying. She started, "I can wait by myself, nurse Lun, you..."
While speaking, she turned her head and seeing the person who entered the room, Nanxi stopped talking and frowned!
Because it wasn’t Lun Ying who came in, but Lu Yinchu!
"It seems that you have been waiting for me for a long time!" a certain man spoke in a gentle voice that sounded as soft as ink penetrating paper!
Nanxi was a bit tongue-tied, but decided to play it cool anyway, "...Not that long!"
The handsome man extended his hand towards her, holding a semi-new phone in his hand. She sucked in a deep breath before taking it.
"Mo Yan is handling the discharge procedures, sit down and rest for a while!"
Lu Yinchu stepped in and sat down on the couch in the corner. It was clear that he wanted her to sit down as well!
Nanxi stood still, Lu Yinchu frowned slightly, "Your health is not good yet, aren’t you tired standing?"
"..." Nanxi eventually sat down!
Being alone with Lu Yinchu, Nanxi felt a bit intimidated!
Lu Yinchu was such a sophisticated and dazzling man that he seemed unreal. Yet most of us have to live in reality!
Nanxi remembered a conversation she had with her neighbour’s older sister when she was in Hong Kong.
The sister was five years older than her and had just started a beautiful love story. Nanxi had seen the boyfriend; he had bought ice-creams for her which made Nanxi speechless because she was already fourteen!
When Nanxi protested, the boyfriend, full of smiles, said, "Really? You’re so tiny and cute, you look like you’re only eight or nine, not at all like you’re fourteen!"
Nanxi frowned at the neighbour’s sister, hinting that this boy wasn’t good. He was too blunt when speaking to girls, ungentlemanly!
Even though when he smiled, he was like a beam of sunshine that was unforgettable!
Her neighbour’s sister just smiled and said nothing.
Not long after, the boy went abroad for studies and broke up with the neighbour’s sister. On the day he left, the neighbour’s sister didn’t see him off, instead, she walked around the path in the park repeatedly with Nanxi!
She said, "Nanxi, do you know? We dated for four months and six days, we’ve had twenty-six dates, twelve of which were here!"
Nanxi puckered her lips and asked, "Why didn’t you try once more? Maybe he would’ve stayed for you?"
She laughed, "Nanxi, in this world, there are some men who are like the wind. The more you want to catch them, the faster they will slip away from you, because they never belonged to you!"
She said that she had always been waiting for a man who could laugh brightly, act casually, and walk decisively!
After meeting him, she had no regrets. Feeling lucky to have loved such a man who was like the wind!
Nanxi didn’t understand at the time and also couldn’t comprehend, what was love, and what should love become? Could it be that when you’re in love, you won’t want to spend the rest of your life with that person, not wanting to settle down and focusing only on one person?
