Except for Lu Zhan, the other two people in the ward were startled and turned around at the same time.
After seeing clearly who was standing at the door, Chen Chunyan's face suddenly turned pale, her lips trembled and she couldn't make a sound for a long time.
It was Lu Qiuya who frowned and looked at him for a few seconds, then she was the first to shout out in surprise:
"You! You are... You are that Liu Jincai, am I right?!"
Liu Jincai stood at the door of the ward with a grim face. He did not answer Lu Qiuya's words, but stared at Chen Chunyan with his eyes as big as copper bells.
He was also holding a can of malted milk and a bag of fruit candy in his hands. The malted milk was for Lu Zhan and the fruit candy was for Chen Chunyan.
Ever since he annoyed her in the small garden last time, Liu Jincai has come to the hospital several times but hasn't seen Chen Chunyan. He doesn't know if she is deliberately avoiding him.
It was the receptionist at the guesthouse who saw him coming back every day looking dejected. Curious about the reason, she gave him some advice:
The receptionist said that he always went to apologize empty-handed and was insincere. The girls here all liked to eat the fruit candies that were only sold in department stores. She asked him to go to the department store to buy some fruit candies and give them to his girlfriend. When she ate them, she would feel sweet inside and naturally she would not be angry with him anymore.
Liu Jincai had never shopped in a department store before. He finally found the foreign trade food counter, and when he asked about the prices, his heart bleeds.
If candy like this were sold at a supply and marketing cooperative, a bag would only cost one dollar at most, but a department store actually sells it for five dollars!
Liu Jincai felt that this was simply a robbery, but thinking about what the receptionist said, he gritted his teeth and bought a bag for Chen Chunyan. However, he couldn't bear to buy the malted milk for Lu Zhan at the department store. It was more cost-effective to buy it at the supply and marketing cooperative. Such a big can was only three dollars and five cents.
After buying things, he rushed to the hospital excitedly. He first went to the laboratory and took a look around, but still didn't see Chen Chunyan, so he thought of going upstairs to see Captain Lu first.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I reached the door, I saw Chen Chunyan's familiar back through the open door.
Liu Jincai was delighted, thinking that this was a coincidence, as they happened to be together. Just as he was about to push the door open, he heard Chen Chunyan say:
"...We're just acquaintances, not dating!"
His heart skipped a beat and his hand hesitated for a second when pushing the door.
Unexpectedly, just this second of hesitation made him hear a series of absurd words that were enough to make him doubt his life -
In Chen Chunyan's description, he was no different from those corrupt officials in comic books and paintings who forcibly abducted women and the local tyrants who persecuted innocent families. He used the excuse of providing job opportunities but actually wanted to take advantage of young girls. What was even more exaggerated was that he was said to have used force!
Liu Jincai really suspected that there was something wrong with his ears. He refused to believe that these words would come out of Chen Chunyan's mouth.
But even so, he was still struggling in his heart, brainwashing himself ridiculously:
Chen Chunyan was just panicked for a moment, afraid that their intimacy would get out and affect her reputation, so she put the blame on him.
He is a man, and reputation is not that important to him. She also said that she would never tell this to anyone, which was actually a disguised way of taking his reputation into consideration.
Just when Liu Jincai was still trying to find some candy among the broken glass to seek self-comfort, he heard Chen Chunyan openly admit that she had a good impression of Captain Lu, and repeatedly emphasized that if she was not afraid of being misunderstood by Captain Lu, she would not have told him the "bad things" he had done. These words undoubtedly gave Liu Jincai a blow!
After hearing Chen Chunyan say with her own ears that she had a good impression of Captain Lu, Liu Jincai suddenly realized what was behind Chen Chunyan's previous request that he keep their relationship secret and her desire to transfer him to the Ningshi Military Region Hospital.
Liu Jincai felt that he was a joke. He was almost forty years old, but he was so easily deceived by a little girl.
He knew clearly that he was not good-looking, was chubby, and had no education, and that he was not the type of person a girl would like. However, he was still lured by Chen Chunyan's sweet words and foolishly believed that she was his destined other half.
He poured his heart and soul into finding connections and asking for favors for her, traveled thousands of miles to surprise her, and even paid for all the necessities of life for her...
In just one month, he spent more than he had spent in the past year, but in return he was poured with a basin of dirty water from head to toe.
It was then that Liu Jin, who was standing behind the door, noticed that Lu Zhan had seen him, but he subconsciously shook his head in shame at Lu Zhan.
It was so embarrassing, so embarrassing that he was even ashamed to confront Chen Chunyan who framed him in public.
But the last straw that broke his sanity finally came -
Chen Chunyan actually denied that the pair of gold earrings was a gift from him, and insisted that the pair of gold earrings were hers!
Liu Jincai could tolerate everything else. The money he spent on her was nothing. He believed he could explain her false accusations against him.
But the only pair of gold earrings was the inheritance his mother handed to him before she died, and she repeatedly urged him to leave it to his wife. Since Chen Chunyan did not admit that she was his partner, did she want to keep his mother's gold earrings and not return them?
Until that moment, he couldn't help but stand out from behind the door——
"Chun Yan, I've done so much for you, and in the end, this is how you look at me? Am I just a joke in your eyes?"
Liu Jincai thought he would not be able to suppress the anger in his heart and would roar out loud, but he did not expect that he would be choked up and almost unable to speak when he opened his mouth, which was in sharp contrast to his image as he stood there.
Perhaps it was Liu Jincai's weakness that gave Chen Chunyan confidence. She quickly calmed down from her initial panic and lied to him:
"Lieutenant Liu, I've already made it very clear to you. I don't like you. We're not suitable for each other. I won't agree to be in a relationship with you. Please stop harassing me!"
Liu Jincai was in tears. He wondered if he had been blinded by greed to fall for a woman like Chen Chunyan.
He knew that he was tongue-tied and was no match for Chen Chunyan in arguments and debates. He also didn't want to argue with her about what their relationship was like before, because no matter what it was, it was over today.
Now, he just wants his mother's belongings back.
"Since you don't admit that you are my partner, then give me back the gold earrings I gave you!"
But what Liu Jincai didn't expect was that his repeated tolerance was regarded as weakness by Chen Chunyan, who instead took advantage of him and thought he was petty and unwilling to give up the benefits he had already obtained.
She looked at Liu Jincai coldly, with a warning in her words:
"Lieutenant Liu, since you saved me before, I'll just assume you made a mistake out of sheer confusion. But if you still want to push your luck and ask for my things, don't blame me for reporting you to your unit!"
