Chapter 104 My heart aches for you
Lin Xiyin took the test results and went to see the doctor. After that, she went through the emergency room to be admitted to the pediatrics department.
Although it wasn't pneumonia, the doctor advised that I stay in the hospital for a few days.
After settling in at the pediatric ward, Lin Xiyin told Aunt Zhao to go home and rest, and that she would come over again when she delivered lunch.
The little one woke up, ate breakfast, and seems to be in good spirits right now.
Xiao Ruoyi called and asked, "I'm at the mall. Ask my godson whether he wants a red or yellow excavator."
Lin Youxing had always wanted an excavator, but Lin Xiyin hadn't agreed yet. Now that he was back in China, Xiao Ruoyi immediately fulfilled her godson's wish.
Lin Xiyin sighed: "Yiyi, you'll spoil him."
“My godson, I’m willing.” Xiao Ruoyi held her phone: “Hurry up, which color? Otherwise, I’ll buy both.”
Lin Xiyin had no choice but to say, "Your godson is on an IV drip right now."
Xiao Ruoyi was startled: "What's wrong?"
"I have a cold and a fever." Before she could ask, Lin Xiyin said, "I'll send you my location."
Less than half an hour later, Xiao Ruoyi arrived, accompanied by Huo Xianyang.
However, Huo Xianyang's expression wasn't very good. He wasn't angry, but rather... he looked quite aggrieved.
The two made love last night, spending most of the night in marital relations.
There's nothing he can do; he has no official status, but he has a job—he's a human massage stick.
When she woke up around 10 a.m., Xiao Ruoyi was going to buy an excavator for her godson.
Huo Xianyang simply said, "If you like children so much, let's have one," and Xiao Ruoyi scolded him.
Huo Xianyang dared not say another word.
But that didn't stop him from feeling wronged.
But what good is it for him to feel aggrieved?
This woman didn't give him the slightest chance.
For several years now, his identity has remained a secret.
Unfortunately... he had absolutely no way to solve it!
He made one mistake, and from that moment on, he could never hold his head up high in front of this woman again.
He deserved it.
Thinking this, Huo Xianyang smiled and followed Xiao Ruoyi into the ward.
Lin Xiyin is not short of money now, but fearing cross-infection, she directly checked into a private hospital room.
Xiao Ruoyi understood the situation and knew that there was nothing seriously wrong, so she was relieved.
While Xiao Ruoyi and Lin Youxing were being affectionate, Huo Xianyang called Lin Xiyin outside the ward.
In recent years, Huo Xianyang has accompanied Xiao Ruoyi almost every time she goes abroad.
So, as they spent more time together, Lin Xiyin and he became acquainted.
Huo Xianyang left the ward and, without exchanging pleasantries, went straight to the point: "Xiyin, I hope you can do me a favor."
Lin Xiyin asked, "What is it?"
She couldn't think of any way she could help Huo Xianyang.
The only thing that might be is Xiao Ruoyi.
Sure enough, Huo Xianyang spoke up: "I want you to help me persuade Yiyi. We're both getting old, and my family keeps pressuring us to get married..."
Lin Xiyin smiled helplessly: "Do you think I didn't try to persuade you?"
Lin Xiyin had been watching how Huo Xianyang treated Xiao Ruoyi all these years.
Honestly, Lin Xiyin thought Xiao Ruoyi and Huo Xianyang were both very good candidates.
Whether it's family circumstances or personal circumstances.
Both of them can be described as outstanding individuals.
Lin Xiyin didn't know what kind of story the two of them might have had in the past.
She asked, but Xiao Ruoyi didn't want to say, and she didn't force her.
But several years have passed, and Xiao Ruoyi still treats Huo Xianyang the same way.
To be honest, even though Lin Xiyin was Xiao Ruoyi's good friend and sister, she still felt sorry for Huo Xianyang.
Because Huo Xianyang is really a good person, whether as a boyfriend or a husband candidate.
But Xiao Ruoyi just wouldn't give him a formal title.
Lin Xiyin sighed: "Yiyi seems to be very insistent on this point. I don't know why. I asked her, but she wouldn't say."
"It was my fault," Huo Xianyang said. "Back then, I was the one who wronged her."
Lin Xiyin hurriedly said, "If you don't want to talk about the past, that's fine. I just feel that the past is the past. Even if you made a mistake back then, you know you were wrong now and have been repenting for the past few years. Yiyi should give you a chance."
Huo Xianyang then spoke up for Xiao Ruoyi: "I went too far back then."
Before Lin Xiyin could ask anything else, the ward door suddenly opened, and Xiao Ruoyi, holding the doorknob, looked at them: "What are you talking about? Sneaking around like that, are you talking badly about me?"
Lin Xiyin walked over and gently punched her: "Yes, I told Lawyer Huo to dump you because you're willful, unreasonable, and capricious."
Huo Xianyang hurriedly said, "Xiyin, please don't get me into trouble."
Lin Xiyin laughed and said, "Just kidding. Lawyer Huo said he also has acquaintances in this hospital and asked if I needed to contact them."
Xiao Ruoyi clearly didn't believe her, but she didn't want to ask any more questions: "Let's go in, Youyou is looking for you."
Lin Xiyin went inside, and Xiao Ruoyi casually closed the door, blocking Huo Xianyang's way.
Huo Xianyang looked at her with his dark eyes: "Yiyi, I really didn't say anything bad about you."
"You should go back," Xiao Ruoyi said. "I'll stay with my godson."
"I also……"
"What are you doing?" Xiao Ruoyi said, "There's no place for you to stay in the hospital. Don't contact me for the next couple of days. I'll call you when I'm less busy."
"Yiyi..."
Xiao Ruoyi turned and went into the ward, slamming the door shut.
Lin Xiyin heard the noise and looked over, asking her, "Why are you shouting so loudly? Where's Attorney Huo?"
"He had something to do and left first."
Lin Xiyin didn't believe it: "Did you kick them out?"
“We brought our child to the hospital, what's he doing here causing trouble? We don't need his help.”
Lin Xiyin glanced at her but said nothing.
After lunch, Lin Youxing took a nap, and then Lin Xiyin said, "Yiyi, let's talk."
Xiao Ruoyi lay on another hospital bed and waved her hand: "You don't need to say anything, I know what you're going to say."
Lin Xiyin said, "They say those involved are often blinded by their own involvement. I'm your friend, we've been such good friends for so many years, I've seen everything clearly from the sidelines..."
"Stop," Xiao Ruoyi said. "Ruanruan, I'm just asking you, if Pei Muye came back, apologized to you, and treated you well for several years, would you forgive him for everything he did?"
Lin Xiyin fell silent.
Xiao Ruoyi smiled and said, "You see, you only know the pain when you prick yourself with a needle."
Lin Xiyin thought for a moment, then said, "If it's Pei Muyi, I won't forgive him, but I also won't have anything to do with him anymore. Since you won't forgive him, then don't keep him hanging on..."
Before she could finish speaking, Xiao Ruoyi immediately took out her phone: "Okay, I'll break up with him completely right now."
"Don't!"
Lin Xiyin rushed over and snatched her phone away.
She was furious. Huo Xianyang asked her to help persuade him, but instead of helping, she made things worse.
How will she explain this to Huo Xianyang?
"Yiyi, how could you do this!" Lin Xiyin said, "Your relationship with Huo Xianyang is different from mine with Pei Muye. The fact that you are with Huo Xianyang now means that you have already forgiven him, but you are still holding a grudge and don't want to give him a proper status."
“You’re right,” Xiao Ruoyi said. “I told him that if he doesn’t want to, this relationship can end at any time.”
Xiao Ruoyi added, "I'm an adult, and I have needs too. It just so happens that he can provide them. If it weren't him, it would have been someone else."
Lin Xiyin didn't understand Xiao Ruoyi's actions, but she respected them.
She couldn't help but ask, "So what heinous thing did Huo Xianyang do that you're treating him like this? Did he cheat on you when you were together before?"
Xiao Ruoyi smiled and then said, "To tell you, it's really nothing."
That's a rather cliché story.
Xiao Ruoyi wasn't actually that outstanding during her middle school years.
Back then, she loved to go out and have fun. Her skin was tanned, her hair was cut short like a tomboy's, and she was quite thin.
Huo Xianyang attended a middle school nearby.
Xiao Ruoyi had a conflict with a girl from that school, and they almost got into a fight.
However, by a twist of fate, he met Huo Xianyang.
Later... Huo Xianyang began to pursue Xiao Ruoyi.
Xiao Ruoyi didn't want to be in a relationship at that time, but Huo Xianyang was handsome, had good grades, and had many tricks up his sleeve when pursuing her.
Xiao Ruoyi eventually succumbed to temptation.
The two began a sweet campus romance.
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiyin said, "I knew it! That's why you were always running around during that time. Turns out you were going to the school next door."
Xiao Ruoyi hummed in agreement.
The two enjoyed a sweet period of time, and if it weren't for an incident that happened later, it might have become a beautiful story.
"Later I found out that the girl I had a conflict with... was Huo Xianyang's first love." Xiao Ruoyi said in a calm tone, "He pursued me because he made a bet with someone. His goal was to get me over with, then dump me, humiliate me properly, and get revenge on his first love, his white moonlight."
Lin Xiyin remained silent for a long time.
She never imagined that Huo Xianyang and Xiao Ruoyi had such a past.
Knowing what had happened, Lin Xiyin couldn't bring herself to speak up for Huo Xianyang anymore.
"Back then... I really liked him." Xiao Ruoyi said with a smile, "I even thought of names for my children. Do you know how sad I was when I stood outside their classroom and heard the boys in their class teasing me, saying that Huo Xianyang didn't like me and was just playing with me?"
Lin Xiyin remembered.
During her middle school years, she was sick for a while, and Xiao Ruoyi seemed to be in poor condition as well.
At that time, she was in poor health and simply didn't have the extra energy to care for her good friend.
If she had cared for her and comforted her back then, Xiao Ruoyi wouldn't have been so sad.
She saw the tears in Xiao Ruoyi's eyes.
Almost ten years have passed since high school. Xiao Ruoyi spoke of these things in a calm and relaxed tone, but tears welled up in her eyes.
It's easy to imagine how much trauma that incident caused her.
She is a free-spirited and easygoing person, but she has never let go of this matter.
Lin Xiyin was heartbroken.
He bent down and hugged her, saying, "Fine, we won't forgive him! He's a bastard, he deserves to be nameless and without status!"
Xiao Ruoyi hugged her back, wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
She said, "It's okay, it's all in the past."
Lin Xiyin burst into tears.
