Yu Chengyuan tiptoed to the ward door, looking just like a little spy preparing to do "intelligence work".
He pressed his body against the wall, his head slightly sticking out, but he didn't step directly into the ward. He wondered to himself: I wonder if my silly older brother has confessed to Jiang Haitang yet?
Don't let us down at the crucial moment!
"Brother Ping An, when will my leg get better? I'm so worried!"
Jiang Haitang's coquettish voice came from the ward, full of helplessness and melancholy.
She thought to herself that if her leg healed quickly, she could go shopping with Brother Ping An like any other couple and experience that romantic atmosphere.
"Little sister Haitang, don't worry. This leg injury takes time to heal. You can't rush it. It will get better eventually."
Yu Pingan's soothing voice rang out.
"But I'm stuck in this hospital every day, smelling all this medicine, I'm really suffocating! I want to go home!"
Jiang Haitang's tone was full of disgust for the hospital, and she couldn't wait to leave this place.
She disliked the pungent smell of medicine in the hospital.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to get home so soon!"
"Just hang in there a little longer."
Yu Pingan said helplessly, knowing that Jiang Haitang would need to stay in the hospital for at least another week before she could be discharged and go home to recuperate.
"Sigh... that's all we can do."
"Brother Ping An, will you come to the hospital to see me again tomorrow?"
Jiang Haitang hesitated for a long time, but finally mustered up the courage to ask the question, her eyes full of expectation.
"I...I probably won't be able to come tomorrow."
Yu Ping'an answered decisively, thinking to himself that if he didn't send vegetables over here, it would be difficult to come here often.
Yu Chengyuan, who was hiding by the door, almost burst out laughing.
He was thinking to himself: My dear brother, can you please not be so blunt and insensitive? How disappointed must the girl be!
Sure enough, the next second, Yu Chengyuan saw Jiang Haitang's originally expectant face instantly turn disappointed and aggrieved, looking just like a child whose beloved toy had been taken away.
"Sigh..." Jiang Haitang sighed softly and said indifferently, "Oh, you and your brother are so busy, I'm afraid you won't come to see me in the future."
"No, no, as long as my brother and I have time, we will definitely come to see you."
Sister Haitang, actually I…”
Yu Pingan recalled her younger brother's earnest advice to bravely pursue love and boldly confess her feelings. But when the words reached her lips, she felt as if an invisible hand was gripping her throat. The four words "I like you" seemed to be sealed in her mouth, and she couldn't say them no matter what.
Brother, why don't you just confess your feelings already!
Is it really that hard to say "I like you"?
Yu Chengyuan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan at the door, his heart burning with anger: Why are you so shy and hesitant to speak to such a cute and pretty girl!
Back when I was pursuing my wife, I was as thick-skinned as a city wall.
There's no way around it; no matter the era, if you're not thick-skinned, you simply can't win a girl's heart!
"Brother Ping An, what is it actually?"
Just say what you want to say, aren't we good friends?
Jiang Haitang felt a little disappointed, always feeling that Brother Ping An's feelings for her were merely those of a brother and sister, rather than romantic love.
Maybe it's just because we get along well.
Thinking about it this way, the disappointment on her face became even more obvious.
Yu Ping'an was so engrossed in talking that he didn't even notice the expression on Jiang Haitang's face.
"Little sister Haitang, you're so beautiful and outstanding, do you always have a lot of exceptionally talented boys pursuing you?"
As soon as the words left his mouth, Yu Ping'an wanted to slap himself, feeling deeply remorseful.
That's not what I meant to say, so why did it come out like this as soon as I opened my mouth?
Jiang Haitang glanced at Yu Pingan, her heart filled with conflict, her beautiful eyebrows furrowed in distress.
Should I tell Brother Ping An the truth?
"Sister Haitang, why aren't you saying anything?"
If you don't want to talk about it, then forget it.
I'm sorry, I... I don't know why I asked such a question. Are you upset?
Yu Ping'an was so nervous that he stammered. Seeing that Jiang Haitang was silent, he thought she was angry.
Yu Chengyuan, standing at the door, couldn't help but burst out laughing. However, he reacted quickly and immediately covered his mouth, afraid that the two people in the ward would hear him.
He chuckled to himself: "My brother is really both silly and adorable. How could he ask such a stupid question?"
The answer is obvious. A girl like Jiang Haitang, who is both knowledgeable and comes from a good family, would have countless suitors, like flies drawn to honey.
No wonder the older brother lacks confidence; I guess many people would think the same way!
But no one can explain fate, just like how he and his wife ended up together.
I'm still very happy now.
Jiang Haitang quickly shook her head and anxiously explained, "Brother Ping An, I'm not upset."
I was just thinking about whether I should tell you the truth.
I've thought about it, and I still think I should tell you the truth.
I do have many suitors, and many of them are indeed outstanding, but I haven't accepted any of them.
After speaking, Jiang Haitang secretly glanced at Yu Ping'an, wondering if Brother Ping'an had understood the meaning behind her words.
Upon hearing this, Yu Ping'an's eyes lit up instantly. He thought to himself: It seems that Brother Jiang and my younger brother were right. She must have feelings for me!
Maybe I really will have a chance to develop a relationship with her further!
Yu Pingan took a deep breath, his heart pounding violently in his chest like a drum.
He felt his palms were slightly sweaty, and his throat felt like it was blocked by something, making it difficult to breathe.
He knew he couldn't hesitate any longer; if he continued like this, he might really miss out on the girl who had captured his heart.
"Little sister Haitang, actually... there are some things I've always wanted to tell you."
Yu Ping'an's voice trembled slightly, but he tried his best to calm himself down.
Jiang Haitang raised her head and looked at him gently, her eyes filled with a hint of doubt and expectation.
"Brother Ping An, what do you want to say?"
We're good friends, so you can tell me anything.
He wondered what was wrong with Brother Ping An. He was stammering and seemed to want to say something but couldn't. It seemed like he was like that just now.
Could it be that he's encountered some kind of trouble?
Yu Chengyuan, who was outside the door, was extremely anxious. He wished he could be his older brother's mouth muzzle, but he couldn't do it himself!
