Chapter 365 I'm the one going crazy
She couldn't see, and she didn't know. Lu Jinye's expression froze again and again after hearing her question!
“Let me think about it…” he said.
After a few minutes of silence, Lu Jinye, who had been racking his brains, finally came to his senses, his laughter tinged with a hint of bitterness.
"To ensure my safety, the Lu family didn't have many playmates when I was young, and I couldn't be as carefree as Jin Bai. Apart from reading and playing ball, there wasn't anything special in my spare time. It was indeed... rather boring, and I really couldn't think of anything interesting to do."
"Ah... if you can't think about it, then don't think about it." Wen Ni vaguely heard these words, and her heart ached again. She murmured, trying to comfort him, "Forget all those bad memories, just keep the happy and joyful ones, that's enough..."
"Um."
Lu Jinye responded softly.
Then suddenly her name was called, "Wen Ni".
"Hmm?" Wen Ni snorted.
"Let's go climb Xiaonanshan again after you've fully recovered?"
"...No." Wen Ni shook her head groggily. "I want to sleep..."
"Okay, whatever you say."
She heard his voice carrying a faint smile and a touch of doting affection.
She felt his fingertips gently caressing the strands of hair on her forehead, a tender touch that brought her immense peace of mind!
In a daze, the night passed quickly.
When Wen Ni fully regained consciousness and opened her eyes again, it was already noon the next day.
The sun is shining brightly.
A soft light shone into every corner of the ward.
"Riku... Konno?"
The light blinded her, and she softly called his name, but received no response. She rubbed her eyes and looked around. She saw that it was a private hospital room, and there was no one else in the room except her.
Lu Jinye was not there, nor were Qin Yuan and Balun.
There were only some fruits and snacks on the cabinet next to it, and a cup of steaming warm water.
"Cough cough."
My throat is so dry it's burning!
Wen Ni tried to sit up to get some water, but her body felt like it was falling apart; her muscles and bones ached, and she couldn't move.
Her arm was covered in bruises, making it difficult for the nurse who was about to give her an injection to find a vein.
And his right thigh, which was shot, is now wrapped up like a mummy! It looks awful.
"Oh my? You're awake?"
The young nurse who came in for rounds smiled and asked, "Is anything bothering you?"
"No."
Wen Ni gently shook her head.
The slightest discomfort is negligible.
"Excuse me, the one who's with me..."
"You want to ask about the man who came with you last night, right?" The nurse responded enthusiastically. "I heard him tell the mixed-race man who was watching over you outside that he was going home to cook some rice porridge for you! After all, you can only eat liquid food for now, so your stomach can gradually adjust before you can eat other things!"
The mixed-race man guarding the door? It must be Barron.
Wen Ni's eyelashes trembled slightly. "They... they've been guarding this place all night?"
"yes."
The nurse answered questions while making notes and annotations in her ward round log.
"The man who came with you didn't sleep a wink all night because your post-operative blood oxygen was very unstable and kept triggering the alarm! Every time it triggered the alarm, he would run to the nurses' station to call me, so I didn't get much sleep either... Of course, none of that matters, it's part of my job! But I'm really curious about one thing, why is that man always wearing a hat and mask, acting all mysterious? I've been at the military hospital for two years and this is the first time I've seen someone dressed like that!"
"His identity is rather special."
"I guessed right! He's in a special military branch, right?" The nurse's eyes lit up. After a slight hesitation, she asked, "Could you tell me if he's single and available to pursue? Or is he getting married young?"
"this……"
Wen Ni raised an eyebrow, feeling that the nurse seemed to have forgotten that the person in front of her... was a patient?
He's single.
"Single, not for pursuing."
Lu Jinye's voice then added three more words!
Wen Ni was taken aback, and then she saw him push the door open and come in. He was still dressed in a low-key black outfit, his face was covered up, only his eyes were visible, and he was carrying a thermal lunchbox in his hand.
"Ah...ah~hahaha, is that so? I was asking for my colleagues in the department! Never mind then!" The nurse's face turned bright red instantly, her eyes darting away, not daring to look at Lu Jinye again. She grabbed her rounds book and ran away!
In the ward, only Wen Ni and he remained for a moment.
The bed was gently rocked to a comfortable angle.
A small table was set up in front of me, with a bowl of rice porridge and a small portion of pickled vegetables. It was plain and simple, but it smelled delicious! It made my mouth water!
Perhaps it's because he cooked it himself?
"Huff huff".
Lu Jinye took off his hat and mask, naturally scooped up a spoonful, carefully blew on it to cool it down, and handed it to Wen Ni's lips.
Wen Ni obediently opened her mouth, but she still didn't dare to look up at him!
He didn't say anything.
The silence in the ward was unsettling.
"Lu Jinye." After swallowing a mouthful of porridge, Wen Ni couldn't help but speak.
"Um?"
"Before I go to Myanmar, I owe you an answer. I said I'd tell you when I got back."
"I remember that." Lu Jinye paused in his blowing on the porridge, without looking up. "No rush, we'll talk about it after you've recovered!"
“But I feel we can’t keep dragging this on. We should make things clear as soon as possible so as not to delay you,” Wen Ni said calmly.
What does "delay" mean?
Lu Jinye raised his handsome eyebrows and looked straight into her eyes. "I don't feel like I'm being held back, so it's not a waste of time, it's something I do willingly."
“Lu Jinye, don’t get stuck on this. I’m talking to you calmly and seriously about this.”
Wen Ni picked up another spoon and absentmindedly stirred the porridge.
"You've seen the danger of the missions I'm carrying out. Just like Colonel Lan Tian said, in our hearts, the lives of the people and the tasks assigned by our superiors always come first. If necessary, I'm even willing to give up my own life, so I simply don't have the time or energy to care about anyone else!"
“I’ve known all along that anyone includes me, but so what?” Lu Jinye stared intently at her, catching her evasive gaze. “You just need to take one step forward, and then focus on being yourself. Leave the remaining 999 steps to me!”
"Knowing the consequences, are you still going to take the risk?" Wen Ni's voice rose slightly, carrying an inexplicable rationality.
"Put all those so-called consequences and objective conditions out of your head and tell me your truest feelings. What do you really think of me?" Lu Jinye's emotions fluctuated slightly, but he still tried his best to suppress them. "Wen Ni, I've said it before, I only want one answer."
"Even if we know the answer, what difference will it make? The result will be the same." Wen Ni frowned and turned her face away, her tone indifferent.
"It's different for me!"
He gently grabbed her shoulders, his eyes filled with a sinister and domineering gaze.
“I want you to tell me yourself, Wen Ni.”
"Otherwise, I'd really be going crazy!"
