Because, as long as he doesn't contact anyone and doesn't confide in anyone, he won't be deceived or exploited.
Actually, this is quite good. He is just like this, quietly watching the world, watching the people walking under the overpass, looking at the expressions on each person's face, guessing what they are thinking, what makes them unhappy today, and what makes them sad.
What Ning Haotian saw, thought, and guessed were all negative news, as if they had nothing to do with anything positive and optimistic.
This is how he sees the world now.
"Are you tired of living?" Liu Ruonan asked indifferently.
"What?" Ning Haotian was puzzled and looked at Liu Ruonan with a slightly frown, wondering why she suddenly asked such a question.
"You've closed the door to your heart, not allowing anyone to enter. Aren't you tired of living?"
"Does it have anything to do with you?" Ning Haotian retorted impatiently.
"It was you who asked me to stay and talk to you." Liu Ruonan said righteously.
"But I didn't say I wanted to talk about my business."
"So you want to talk about me? About when I got married? When I got pregnant? Or, how many months has the baby been in my belly? Are you really interested? Okay, then I'll talk to you in detail. I am..."
"Okay, okay." Ning Haotian stopped him impatiently. Why was this woman so frustrating? Who wanted to hear about her marriage history?
"I like pleasant chats. If you really want to talk, let's talk calmly. If not, I will disappear from your sight right now." Liu Ruonan seemed to see that Ning Haotian was actually very afraid of being alone.
The reason he kept Liu Ruonan was simply to find an outlet. The sadness in his heart had been suppressing him for a long time. He was about to be crushed and almost couldn't breathe. However, he didn't want to admit it.
Now, Liu Ruonan's persistence made him begin to doubt his own persistence. Was it right or wrong to not trust anyone like this? He began to wonder, puzzled, and began to seek confirmation.
However, Ning Haotian did think so in his heart. Liu Ruonan was like a mirror, reflecting Ning Haotian's heart and seeing his truest thoughts.
"Then tell me! What do you want to talk about?" Ning Haotian compromised. On the one hand, he didn't want to talk about his own affairs, but on the other hand, he didn't want Liu Ruonan to leave like that.
After spending more than half a month together, he saw Liu Ruonan's persistence and her sincerity. Ning Haotian seemed to start trying to believe in human nature again.
However, after being discharged from the hospital, they went their separate ways and had nothing to do with each other. From then on, they were strangers who had nothing to do with each other.
I don't know why, but I feel a little reluctant to leave.
What is it that makes her reluctant to let go? Is it the "sincerity" that has yet to be proven? Or is it Liu Ruonan's unwavering perseverance?
"Let's talk about your inner thoughts." Liu Ruonan said firmly, as if not giving Ning Haotian any chance to refuse.
Ning Haotian stared at Liu Ruonan for a long time, and finally said firmly: "Impossible."
Without saying anything, Liu Ruonan picked up her lunch box and turned to leave. Unexpectedly, Ning Haotian called her back again: "Come back."
This girl, why is she so stubborn! She just leaves without any room for negotiation.
Ning Haotian watched Liu Ruonan turn around and sit back on the bed. He looked at him and said, "This is your last chance. If I turn around and leave again, there's no turning back. There's no such thing as a third time. Once I step out of this ward, we'll be even."
"Clearance?"
"You were seriously injured and hospitalized because you helped me. I paid for your medical expenses and took care of you for half a month, keeping you fat and plump. I've repaid the favor, but you didn't want to accept it. We can only part ways and live in peace."
Ning Haotian frowned tightly as he listened to Liu Ruonan's words.
"Let's part ways and live happily ever after." A smile appeared on his lips as he looked at Liu Ruonan and said, "Is this how lovers break up? It's not appropriate to use it on the two of us."
Liu Ruonan frowned slightly and thought carefully. It seemed so. She remembered that when Zhuang Sheng gave her this sentence, she liked it very much. Moreover, for each idiom or word, Zhuang Sheng would tell her an allusion, just to help her remember it as quickly as possible.
I just said it casually, thinking I was showing off my cultural level! I didn't expect to use the wrong sentence, which is really embarrassing.
Liu Ruonan rubbed the tip of her nose with her index finger, coughed softly, and suppressed her inner embarrassment and said, "Really? Then we are like strangers and have nothing to do with each other."
Well, that's more like it. Ning Haotian smiled helplessly, looked at Liu Ruonan and said, "Yes, we have nothing to do with each other after we parted."
Their encounter was but a chance encounter, their bond fleeting. After they separated, there was no further connection. This was fine, free of worries.
Liu Ruonan said unconvincedly: "Don't try to change the subject."
"Then please continue." Ning Haotian sat cross-legged, looking at Liu Ruonan seriously. Perhaps he had been moved by Liu Ruonan recently? He really wanted to have a good talk with Liu Ruonan.
Sometimes, it is more pleasant to talk to a stranger than to someone you are close to. This is because strangers do not understand each other, and even if you talk about it, you may never have the chance to meet again, so it can save you the embarrassment.
"Do you know anything about fashion design?" Liu Ruonan suddenly spoke.
Ning Haotian was ready to face Liu Ruonan's attack on the topic of him closing his heart, but he didn't expect her to change the subject so quickly.
"Ah?" Ning Haotian was stunned by this sudden question.
Is this girl too smart, or is he too obvious? Why does Liu Ruonan seem to see through her? She knew that she had closed her heart, and she could also see that she understood fashion design.
"When we first met, I thought you were dressed very fashionably." Liu Ruonan said, remembering the clothes he wore that day. If he wore them in the new century, they would surely not be outdated.
"Yes, I majored in fashion design." Ning Haotian responded undeniably.
"But you gave up your major and chose to wander." Liu Ruonan said that it was really hard to imagine what kind of hurt made him give up his future and hide under the overpass to eliminate his decadence.
"Is there anything wrong with this?" Ning Haotian asked in confusion.
"It's not about whether it's good or not, the question is whether it's worth it." Liu Ruonan said, "I don't know who hurt you, but just because of one hurt, you gave up on yourself and became so negative. Have you ever considered that the person who hurt you might be waiting to see the day you can never stand up again?"
