As soon as Qin Yi left, Lan Xing instantly lost her composure. Cui Qingling looked at her languid appearance, smiled and shook her head, but ultimately said nothing.
"He asks the doctor about your condition every day, but he never comes to see you. Why didn't I realize he was such an awkward person before?"
Lan Xing's words made Meng Wan sigh.
When I woke up that day, I heard that Yan Nian had burst into tears in front of everyone. Afterwards, he probably felt ashamed and avoided everyone. He didn't even have the courage to see Meng Wan. He only dared to secretly stay by Meng Wan's side when it was quiet at night.
Meng Wan knew that Yan Nian was wandering around the hospital every day, but she just thought he would show up once he recovered. She didn't expect him to hide for three days.
"Don't bring this up in front of him again." Meng Wan was ultimately protecting Yan Nian.
"Don't worry, we're not that blind." Lan Xing waved his hand.
Only Ji Sheng knew that despite her carefree demeanor, Lan Xing had shed countless tears late at night because of Meng Wan.
She herself is like this, so how can she have the right to laugh at Yan Nian?
“But hiding like this isn’t a solution, is it?” Cui Qingling asked.
"It's alright, I have a way." Meng Wan pursed her lips, her eyes filled with helplessness.
Cui Qingling and Lan Xing exchanged a glance and shrugged.
Soon, it was late at night. The ward was pitch black, and the girl on the bed seemed to be fast asleep, with only the beeping of the medical equipment.
Yan Nian tiptoed to close the door, and only after confirming that no sound was made did he walk to Meng Wan's bedside.
After staring at her quietly for a while, Yan Nian decided to curl up on the sofa and keep watch over Meng Wan as before, until Qin Yi came in the morning to hand over the duties.
However, this time the judgment was wrong.
"Yan Nian." In the darkness, Meng Wan suddenly called Yan Nian's name, making his heart skip a beat.
He held his breath, thinking Meng Wan was talking in her sleep.
"Yan Nian, come here." There was not a trace of sleepiness in his voice.
Yan Nian pursed her lips but did not move.
"Are you going to never see me again? I went to such lengths to come back and see you." Meng Wan's tone was tinged with grievance.
It was precisely this sense of grievance that allowed Yan Nian to easily gain control.
In the pitch-black room, even though he knew Meng Wan couldn't see him, Yan Nian still stood up straight and lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong.
"I didn't." Yan Nian's voice also sounded aggrieved.
"Then why won't you see me? You've been avoiding me for three days."
"It's a bit embarrassing. Besides, I haven't stopped seeing you; I see you every day," Yan Nian argued.
"But I didn't see you. I tried so hard to wake myself up because of you, but after waking up I couldn't see you anymore. You wanted me to..."
Before Meng Wan could finish speaking, Yan Nian covered her mouth.
"Don't say it." Yan Nian was unusually domineering.
He took Meng Wan's hand, brought it to his lips, and gently bit it, as if punishing her.
"Then you're not allowed to hide from me. I tried so hard, so hard to wake up..." It was already two in the morning. Because of her physical discomfort, she had been going to bed early lately. If it weren't for catching Yan Nian, she would have fallen asleep long ago.
"Okay, I won't hide anymore. Thank you for trying to wake up." Yan Nian kissed her hand, like a devout believer.
“Because Yan… Mom and Dad said you were waiting for me…” Meng Wan’s voice grew softer and softer, but it brought tears to Yan Nian’s eyes.
He's not usually such a fragile, crybaby.
"Go to sleep. When you wake up, I'll be right here. I won't run away again." Yan Nian kissed Meng Wan's lips.
Yes, after going through this, doesn't he understand? Why hide? He kept begging God to bring her back, but now that she's actually back, he's hiding because of his so-called pride. What kind of behavior is that?
He's confused. Nothing is more important than Meng Wan.
Thinking of this, he kissed Meng Wan again. His fingers twirled Meng Wan's hair, curling it round and round, his expression tender and affectionate, his eyes filled with undisguised love.
The next day, Meng Wan woke up earlier than Yan Nian. Looking at the fluffy head, Meng Wan smiled and ruffled it. The slightly prickly texture made her palms itch, but her heart softened.
A soft cough pulled Meng Wan back to reality. She looked up to see Tang Qi.
Tang Qi didn't say anything, silently took the vase from the bedside into the bathroom, and when he came out, the flowers in the vase had been replaced.
"Breakfast." It was lean meat congee, a bit bland, but at least it had some meat in it.
Yan Nian also woke up, her mind still not fully clear, but she had already opened the small table for Meng Wan.
For a fleeting moment when their eyes met, she seemed a little embarrassed, so she coughed lightly to cover up her awkwardness and looked away.
Tang Qi also withdrew his gaze, without mocking or ridiculing, but simply moved a chair and sat quietly next to Meng Wan.
"Isn't the company busy?"
The subtext is: He watches her eat breakfast every day without saying a word, and then leaves when Qin Yi comes in the afternoon. What is he trying to do?
"Not busy." Tang Qi didn't argue with her, replying calmly without even looking up. He calmly took out the book he had placed there and opened it to the page he had seen yesterday.
"The water's gone, I'll get you some hot water." Yan Nian held the kettle, her eyes avoiding Meng Wan's gaze, but it was still better than not seeing her at all.
Men, after all, also care about their pride.
Meng Wan understood, so she didn't expose it.
"Ken has appeared?" Tang Qi asked as soon as Yan Nian left.
"You're not allowed to make fun of him."
Upon hearing Meng Wan's words, Tang Qi looked up at her.
"You ungrateful little devil."
Meng Wan suppressed a laugh at the familiar words, "Anyway, no matter what I do, you always think I'm an ingrate."
"At the sports meet, my deskmate tricked me into going to the suburbs that day, and I almost couldn't get back, so I didn't make it."
Tang Qi made a seemingly random remark, but Meng Wan immediately understood.
Why are you only saying this now?
"I thought of it and said it." Tang Qi didn't look at Meng Wan; his eyes were fixed on the book.
Whether or not one can actually read it is another matter entirely.
"Then why did you stop watching my sports meets after that?"
"If you don't go the first time, there's no point in going again."
"Bullshit." Meng Wan rarely swore.
Tang Qi seemed surprised as well, his pupils contracted slightly, and his hand paused as he turned the page.
"sorry."
Meng Wan paused, then took back everything she had said.
As far as I can remember, aside from the incident where he tricked her into drinking and caused her to end up in the hospital, Tang Qi had never said this to her before.
"Let's go. Your boyfriend can collect the dishes." Tang Qi closed the book and put it back in the cabinet.
"But I won't have any more sports meets in the future."
"Mm," Tang Qi replied.
"Brother, when we were little, I thought you were the best brother."
"Mm." Tang Qi had his back to Meng Wan.
"Even now, I still think you're the best older brother."
"You ungrateful little devil." Tang Qi still had his back to Meng Wan, but the smile on his lips went unseen by her.
