"You'll be alright...you definitely will...Mr. Huo." Xun Ting sat weakly on the ground, repeating these words over and over, her eyes red-rimmed, though she herself was uncertain.

Huo Lin is not the male lead, but a villain, and he will even be killed by the male lead in the end...

"Liar." Upon hearing this, the man laughed. The little liar was lying all the time.

"Trust me just this once, it will be alright, it definitely will be... Even if... even if it doesn't get better, it's okay, I'll take care of you for the rest of my life, okay?"

Xun Ting staggered to her feet, ran to the bedside, and clung tightly to the man's arm.

Her eyes were still red.

The woman looked as if she had been severely bullied; her nose was red, her cheeks were flushed, and tears welled in her eyes, her large, grape-like eyes filled with grievance.

Her small, palm-sized face showed no trace of a smile, which was heartbreaking. Huo Lin cruelly looked away.

"Oh no, I'm sleepy." Huo Lin closed his eyes hard, pulled his hand back, and pulled the blanket up.

“Then you sleep. I’ll go ask the doctor how to help you stand up faster. When you wake up, we’ll work together.” Xun Ting immediately got up.

As if she had found her fighting spirit, she murmured to herself. At this moment, the villain must be in despair, and she couldn't bear to be sad and upset with him. She wanted to help the villain with his rehabilitation.

"No need to ask anymore, come up." Huo Lin felt heartbroken as he listened to the woman's hoarse, tearful voice.

He pulled back the covers and patted the blanket beside him. He used to be reluctant to let her cry, and she had never cried even once. But since his accident, she had been crying more and more often.

"Then I'll ask again tomorrow." Xun Ting obediently lay down next to the man, still not forgetting about this matter.

"Hmm, I'll ask tomorrow." Huo Lin held the woman in his arms, closed his eyes, and spoke perfunctorily, it was unclear whether he had truly resigned himself to his fate or still held onto hope.

Xun Ting remained silent, holding the man tightly and burying her face in his chest the entire time.

.

Over the next few days, the villain didn't become negative; he would occasionally exercise, as if he had accepted being a cripple.

The Huo family visited a few times, but they barely spoke a few words to Huo Lin; they mostly chatted with Xun Ting.

Xun Ting originally wanted to continue taking care of the man at the hospital, but with final exams approaching and the man urging her to go, she had no choice but to go through the motions, secretly resolving to get a perfect score.

Gu Shen, who hadn't seen Xun Ting for several days, finally caught her that afternoon, and was slightly displeased.

"Xun Ting, are you deliberately avoiding me? You never show up for no reason, I've never seen you like this before."

"I've been busy lately. Is there something you need?" Xun Ting frowned, her tone somewhat impatient. Given the villain's current situation, she couldn't stay outside for even a moment longer.

She longed to return to his side immediately and take good care of him.

"I'm bored, I want to play with you."

“…I’m busy, I don’t have time to play. You play with your little brother.” Upon hearing this, Xun Ting’s lips twitched, and she planned to simply walk past the child and leave.

"Listen, is it because Master Huo won't let you play with me? Is that why you've been avoiding me?"

Gu Shen was somewhat unwilling. Xun Ting had been very patient with him before, but now she wouldn't say a word. He thought he hadn't done anything wrong.

"No, I have to go take an exam."

"If you don't want to talk to me, then I don't want to talk to you! Who cares!" Gu Shen had been squatting here for so many days, and when he finally saw him, this was how it was. He was instantly furious.

I won't wait anymore!
