She had always wanted to live a down-to-earth life in an upright manner.
It was lonely at the top, but she would get trampled to death at the bottom.
Once again, she closed her eyes, but didn’t loosen her grip.
“When will she wake up?” Lei Qingyi had waited for a long time. He had brought a pile of books and came over to ask for her autograph, but she was still in a deep sleep and wouldn’t be able to sign it.
He reached out and poked Yan Huan’s face. “Can’t you wake up and give me your autograph?”
When he went to poke her again, he received a warning from Lu Yi. He quickly drew back his hand, standing aside with his big slippers, and stuffed all the books into Lu Yi’s arms.
“Anyways, these are the things to sign for my mum. Just treat them as payment for the ride over here, I did run several red lights to get you here quickly. I’m going back home now, you can stay here by yourself.”
He spun around on his heels and swaggered out with a pair of plastic slippers on his feet.
Lu Yi threw the books on the table, and stared at the woman who still had her eyes closed. Afterwards he turned, opened the door, and went out. When Yan Huan realized she was alone because of the silence, she opened her eyes.
She sat up and hugged her knees, she didn’t know how to face the man. Should she say, “Long time no see,” or “So, you’re still here”?
She had been running through the conversation between them many times, but in the end she thought that they had better not see each other. You go your way, and I’ll go mine, we’ll continue being unrelated and owing each other nothing.
“Miss Yan, you’re awake.” As soon as the nurse came in she found Yan Huan was sitting up. “I’ll tell Mister Lu.”
“Oh, no thank you.” Yan Huan hastened to stop her, her heart ached when she heard the words— Mister Lu. It was the same no matter whether it was Lu Qin or Lu Yi, which one had hurt her heart and which one had made her feel sick.
She was afraid of the word “Lu.”
The nurse looked confused, “Then what would you like to do if you don’t want to inform him?”
“I’m fine, I want to be discharged.” Yan Huan pulled the quilt off and got out of bed. She was fine, she knew about the symptoms of claustrophobia, and if she was in a seriously enclosed environment it might be worse, but she would be fine as soon as she left.
And she couldn’t stay here for any longer, if she went back late Yi Ling would worry about her.
She must get discharged no matter what the doctor and nurse said. The nurse couldn’t stop her so she ran away from the hospital. When she was outside again, she realized she hadn’t gone through the discharge process. She thought about going back, but remembered she had no money with her.
Forget it. She would pay it back later.
When Lu Yi came back after work, Yan Huan had already left the hospital long ago.
“I’m sorry, Mister Lu, the lady insisted on leaving, we couldn’t stop her and she snuck away…” The nurse almost began to cry when she saw his cold face. Look at how dark his face has become, is he going to eat someone?
Lu Yi took the books which Lei Qingyi had left on the table without saying a word, then he strode away.
Lei Qingyi held his books delightfully, he thought that he could finally gain his mother’s favour and she would stop scolding him frequently so he could live in peace and happiness.
