On the third day, Liu Ruonan came again, but Zhuang Sheng didn't come. His vacation was over and he had returned to the army.
Ning Haotian remained indifferent, and Liu Ruonan remained persistent.
Day 4, Day 5...
Liu Ruonan remains the same as always.
Even with her big belly, she would personally stew a bowl of nutritious soup and steam a bowl of hot rice for him.
Ning Haotian felt that during the time he was in the hospital, Liu Ruonan was almost making him fat.
Today marked the first week in a row that Liu Ruonan had come to the hospital. As she packed her lunch box and prepared to leave, Ning Haotian stopped her.
"Hello!"
Liu Ruonan turned around, looked at Ning Haotian and said righteously, "I have a name, Liu Ruonan. You don't have to call me by my name, but please at least call me comrade. This is the most basic courtesy."
It seems that the topic that Liu Ruonan and Ning Haotian talked about the most this week was the issue of politeness.
Ning Haotian disagreed. In his heart, if even the feelings were not real, what was the point of being polite or not?
"Then why did you come to see me so persistently?" Ning Haotian asked. This was the biggest question in his heart.
"Never leave or abandon? That's such an inappropriate word." Liu Ruonan simply sat down in front of the hospital bed next to her, looked at Ning Haotian and said, "I came to see you because your injury was caused by my bag. Although I didn't beg you to do this, you did it to get my lost bag back, didn't you? It's only natural that I should thank you."
"I've already thanked you. You don't need to come again." Ning Haotian responded indifferently.
This kind of coldness, this kind of indifference that kept people at a distance, made Liu Ruonan feel as if he had been imprisoned in an icy hell for many years, and the cold there surrounded him completely.
However, what was surrounded was only his body. Liu Ruonan could see that his heart was still burning with passion.
"You don't have the final say on this." Liu Ruonan picked up her lunch box again and turned to leave. She found it really boring to talk to this person. He kept saying something and wanted to drive him away. How could a girl feel?
"But I don't want to see you." Ning Haotian looked at Liu Ruonan coldly.
There was a hidden desire deep in his eyes. In fact, he desperately wanted to see Liu Ruonan's persistence. Because only in this way could he prove that sincerity still existed in this world.
It was really ridiculous. After so many years of friendship, it could all be fake. How could he be looking for sincerity in someone he didn't even know?
"This is my freedom. If you don't want to see me, just close your eyes. I'm just doing it to make sure I have a clear conscience." After Liu Ruonan said this, she ignored him and turned away.
Looking at Liu Ruonan's departing back, Ning Haotian's brows were tightly furrowed into a lump.
Why was she so insistent? She could have just thought he was meddling and just left him alone! Wouldn't she be asking for trouble by doing this?
Ning Haotian was hospitalized for half a month. In addition to visiting the construction site and the store every day, Liu Ruonan would prepare meals and bring them to Ning Haotian at mealtime.
Finally, Ning Haotian couldn't bear it any longer and asked Liu Ruonan, "You can just think of me as meddling in your affairs. After all, less trouble is worse than more. Why bother yourself with trouble?"
"But you became like this because of me. This is an inescapable fact. If I turn a blind eye, my conscience will condemn me."
Liu Ruonan said as she served the pork rib soup.
Ning Haotian almost vomited as he stared at the bowl of pork rib soup. He had been making pork rib soup every day for half a month, and if he kept drinking it, he was almost turning into pork ribs.
"You have to drink even if you don't want to. Once you get better, we will have nothing to do with each other. Just as you wish, you won't have to see me anymore." Liu Ruonan almost used an imperative tone.
When this girl spoke, there was always an irresistible feeling. For some reason, Ning Haotian obediently took the pork rib soup and drank it. Finally, he obediently gnawed on the ribs and ate a bowl of rice.
As usual, Liu Ruonan packed up the dishes and prepared to leave.
"Comrade." Ning Haotian called her again.
Liu Ruonan raised the corner of her mouth slightly to smile, but then she restrained the smile, turned to look at Ning Haotian, and said jokingly: "The boy is teachable."
"What is that?" Ning Haotian was confused.
"You're finally learning to be polite. That's good." Liu Ruonan's belly was already quite large, and standing for a long time would be very tiring, so she simply sat down on the bed. She believed that Ning Haotian must have something to say when he called her.
"Let's talk!" Ning Haotian said.
In fact, for such a long time, he really wanted to find someone to talk to. However, he closed his heart and was unwilling to open it to others.
"What to talk about?" Liu Ruonan said.
"It doesn't matter." Ning Haotian responded.
"Then let's talk about you!" Liu Ruonan followed the clues. Although she didn't know what had happened to Ning Haotian, she believed that Ning Haotian was a kind person. If she could help him untie the knot in his heart, it would also be a good result.
Moreover, from the moment she first met him, Liu Ruonan had an inexplicable feeling that this man understood fashion. Moreover, his fashion spanned several decades. However, it was not appreciated by many people in this era.
Liu Ruonan thought, artists are always aloof and arrogant. Perhaps he has become a little cynical because his creations are not accepted by others?
"What do I have to talk about?" Ning Haotian said, seemingly dissatisfied. He could discuss human nature, sincerity, and friendship with Liu Ruonan, but he had never thought of discussing himself with her. Moreover, he didn't want to share his own affairs with someone who had nothing to do with him.
"You've been hurt." Liu Ruonan said bluntly, ignoring Ning Haotian's resistance.
Ning Haotian was stunned. Was it so obvious? It was so obvious that anyone could tell at a glance. Then, he concealed the embarrassment in his eyes and sneered at Liu Ruonan:
"What's it to you?"
"You don't trust anyone," Liu Ruonan asked tentatively, but her words were affirmative. She was gradually digging into Ning Haotian's heart, wanting to understand this man deeply. What could have caused him to be so negative and decadent, to keep others at a distance?
"So what!" Ning Haotian seemed a little annoyed. He sat up straight and looked at Liu Ruonan unconvinced.
Yes! He doesn't trust anyone, so what? He's still living a good life. Even though he's living a wandering life now, he lives a carefree and comfortable life. He no longer has to guess whether the people around him are sincere or not, and he no longer has to wonder if the people he comes into contact with have ulterior motives towards him.
