"Alright, I won’t say anything more!"
The tone of Lun Ying’s voice was somewhat helpless, yet it carried an inexplicable kind of soothing, like a gentle hand stroking you, instantly deflating your anger.
With clenched teeth, Li Weihuan asked, "I only want to know, since you managed to hide in H City for ten years, why didn’t you continue hiding? Why did you come to the hospital to see me? You know everything about me, why secretly interfere in my life? You claim that I owe you nothing, and you owe me nothing either. In that case, why did you do all of these things..."
Lun Ying blinked, turned her head, and spoke in a frosty tone, "There’s no particular reason. It just so happens that Xiaoxin is my classmate from nursing school and my best friend. When I went to visit her, I found out from our conversation that she was taking care of you. She complained to me about how exhausting it was to care for you and she was worn out from staying up all night. I know you have a bad temper and Xiaoxin is weak-willed, undoubtedly being bullied by you. Since she’s my good friend and I was free at the time, I decided to share the burden and helped her out a bit..."
"Just like that?" Skepticism was evident in Li Weihuan’s voice.
"What else did you think?" replied Lun Ying, her indifferent expression taking him aback.
With his lip held between his teeth, Li Weihuan desperately wanted to ask: Why did you sigh then? Why did you caress my face? Why didn’t you reveal yourself to me? What are you hiding from?
But in the end, he didn’t ask anything. Certain questions become distorted when uttered aloud.
Regardless of what Lun Ying felt for him, his heart was already occupied by another girl. He couldn’t reciprocate anyone else’s feelings!
Li Weihuan suddenly felt that he shouldn’t have come to see her today. As his Uncle had always said, he was a man who often acted on impulse. This wasn’t surprising, this time too, he had acted recklessly!
Tugging lightly at the corner of his lips, he rose from his seat, "Well, thank you for taking care of me these past few days. I have other matters to attend to and need to leave."
Lun Ying pressed her lips together, asking, "Do you want me to take you home?"
"Alright then!" Lun Ying offered no resistance.
As Li Weihuan reached the door, he suddenly halted in his steps, turned back to look at her and said, "I don’t like the name ’Lun Ying’."
Lun Ying was taken aback but said nothing. Did it really matter whether he liked her name?
She used to be Jiajia, struggling through life; Now she was Lun Ying, reborn and free!
Li Weihuan left with undeterred grace. For the first time, he realized that some pasts should not be disturbed, for you’ll find a completely different version of yourself within its fragments.
However, that version was precisely what he neither wanted nor dared to face.
With a slight tugging at the corner of his lips, Li Weihuan recognised his cowardice for the second time. The first time, it was because of Nanxi!
He tilted his head to look upon the blazing sun overhead, and asked himself:
Was it because of his cowardice that he couldn’t hold on to Nanxi? That he lost Nanxi?!
A car stopped at the entrance of the hospital. Li Muyun and Tu Yanming got out of the car and saw Li Weihuan walking out. Li Muyun sighed in relief and then quickly headed into the hospital, "Wait a moment, I’ll go and ask Gui Xi for clarification!"
Li Weihuan grabbed Li Muyun’s arm, paused, and then spoke in a nonchalant tone, "I have asked all the necessary questions. Let’s go, we should head home!"
Let tranquility reign over her, even if it’s just temporary.
If he were to leave, it would be as if he had never come in the first place!
