Chapter 71 Published

The ward was extremely quiet; the ticking sound of the monitor sounded like a sharp whistle.

The first thing Bai Yue noticed when he opened the door was the exaggerated decoration inside.

The whole room is light pink. The walls, curtains, tables, chairs, and carpets are all pink, some darker, some lighter, some brighter, and some more restrained. All the sharp corners visible are wrapped and polished into rounded arcs. Even the sheets and quilt covers are made of light pink silk.

How can it look like a hospital ward at all?

Do you really think of him as a princess?!

The person on the bed was still lying quietly with his eyes closed, his body sunk into the soft mattress. He was so thin that the thin quilt draped over him barely showed any rise or fall. He was wearing an oxygen mask and a monitor, and his exposed fingers were even paler than when he had first seen them.

Bai Yue had never understood why Gu Xiuyi liked someone who looked like he could die of illness at any time, but recently he felt he had figured it out.

Ji Ruan actually couldn't fall asleep. Maybe it was because of the fever, but he felt dizzy the whole time. Whether he opened his eyes or closed them, the world seemed to be spinning.

The window was not closed and the wind suddenly became strong. Ji Ruan frowned and slowly opened his eyes, but was startled to see Bai Yue standing at the end of the bed.

He was not wearing an external device, so he did not hear the sound of Bai Yue pushing the door and entering the room. If the door had not been opened to allow air to circulate, causing the curtains to flutter, he might not have noticed it and would have just let Bai Yue stare at him silently.

Ji Ruan felt a tingling sensation on his back when he thought of this.

Bai Yue was holding a bouquet of flowers and a brown paper bag in his hand. At first glance, he looked like any other visitor to the hospital, but his temperament was inexplicably creepy.

The curtains were half drawn, and when the sunlight filtered in, it split the room into two extremes of half shade and half sun. Bai Yue happened to be standing in the shadow, with his head slightly lowered, making it difficult to see his expression.

This scene was so weird that Ji Ruan's heart beat faster and he felt like he was in a horror movie.

But isn't this a bloody and abusive article? !

Yes, Ji Ruan thought for a moment and guessed that Bai Yue probably wanted to torture him again.

After realizing this, Ji Ruan's back suddenly relaxed and he sank back into the bed. It didn't matter, as long as it wasn't a ghost. He would gather his strength and then ring the bell to have Bai Yue thrown out.

The moment Ji Ruan opened his eyes, Bai Yue's eyes met his. He clearly saw a hint of fear in Ji Ruan's eyes, which made him feel happy.

Any weakness that Ji Ruan showed in front of him would unreasonably satisfy his twisted heart.

But before he could take advantage of the situation, Ji Ruan suddenly closed his eyes and lay back down, ignoring him as a living person in the air.

Bai Yue: “……???”

Bai Yue was confused for a moment, and then became even angrier.

"Do you think you can get away with pretending to be dead?"

There was no movement on the bed.

Bai Yue clenched his teeth and said, "Don't worry, I won't do anything to you. I came here just to tell you one thing - don't you want to know why Xiuyi chose you as his marriage partner?"

He also took a step closer: "With so many people, why didn't he choose someone else but you?"

Bai Yue thought that he had made a move to win over Ji Ruan's heart. If Ji Ruan really loved Gu Xiuyi, then the truth would definitely make him extremely painful.

Ji Ruan remained motionless, and Bai Yue thought he was just pretending to be calm.

He chuckled: "Because you are very similar to me in the past. The reason you were seen by him and walked to his side was because you looked like me. Even if Xiuyi doesn't love me anymore, do you think you really won?"

Bai Yue raised his chin high, waiting with the attitude of a winner to see the look of shock and hurt on Ji Ruan's face.

Ji Ruan gathered up enough strength, moved and prepared to press the bell. When he opened his eyes, he saw Bai Yue staring at him with a smile on his face. His expression was very strange, so strange that it was scary.

He knew that this person had been mumbling something, but he was far away and his tone was as ups and downs as an opera. Ji Ruan didn't quite understand what he was saying for a long time. He just felt that Bai Yue seemed to have made him excited and was in high spirits.

This expression was very similar to the one Lin Qing had when he went crazy. Ji Ruan was almost having PTSD. He was afraid that he would become more and more crazy like Lin Qing, so he didn't dare let him stay here any longer.

He quickly propped himself up and tried to ring the bell, but before he could reach out his hand, he was hampered by the oxygen mask.

Ji Ruan frowned and tried to pull off the mask, but he had an IV in the back of his hand and wires from a monitor were connected to his body. He was already dizzy, and being tangled up in the wires made him even more dizzy. He rolled his eyes unconsciously and lay back down.

"What's that expression on your face?" Bai Yue didn't see the scene he expected, and his eyes were full of disbelief: "Don't you believe me?"

He spoke in a loud voice, and Ji Ruan seemed to hear what he was saying, believe it or not.

A big question mark appeared on Ji Ruan’s little head.

Letter? What letter? Mr. Bai wants to write him a letter?

What kind of thriller is this?

In order to understand what kind of letter Bai Yue wanted to send to him, Ji Ruan took a breath, lifted a corner of the quilt, and fumbled around, trying to find the external machine.

But the external machine was taken by Gu Xiuyi, and that man was always very tricky about where he put things, so Ji Ruan couldn't find it after searching for a long time.

"Ji Ruan!" Bai Yue was completely enraged by Ji Ruan's perfunctory look.

He threw the flowers away uncontrollably and pulled out a stack of documents and photos from his cowhide bag: "Don't you believe it? I have evidence, look at it!"

"Your back looks like me. I love literature and you love literature too. I love painting and you love painting too. You are my shadow, and everything about you is like me!"

He was so angry that he threw all the information at Ji Ruan:

"He only loves me!"

Swish!

Countless photo papers flew all over the place and hit the edge of the bed. Ji Ruan was startled by the papers falling on his cheek. He lost his grip and fell off the bed with a bang.

In an instant, the world was spinning.

The floor was covered with carpet so he wouldn't fall, but all the instruments connected to Ji Ruan were forcibly ripped off, which hurt him greatly. The infusion needle was pulled out with a "snap", and a string of blood beads rolled down the back of his hand.

At the same time, monitors and alarms started screaming wildly.
