"Xu Mo? What brings you here?" Hu Haoran was surprised to see Xu Mo. Not knowing his intentions, he rushed to Ye Qingqing's side to protect her.
"What? Can't I come?" Although Xu Mo knew he was in the wrong, seeing Ye Qingqing standing in front of him, the two of them so loving and well-matched, he couldn't help but feel a surge of jealousy and anger.
At this moment, Gu Yiming walked in, and was slightly surprised to see Xu Mo. "Xu Mo, you..."
Upon seeing Gu Yiming's arrival, Xu Mo felt even more choked up. He tried his best not to show any abnormality, since he wanted to take revenge but couldn't afford to fall out with Gu Yiming yet. He could only suppress his emotions and nod at Gu Yiming.
At this moment, Ye Qingqing suddenly spoke up: "Xu Mo, since you've come here to apologize to me, kneel down and I'll forgive you, how about that?"
Upon hearing this, the three men were taken aback. Hu Haoran looked at Ye Qingqing with surprise, "Qingqing, what happened? Why is Xu Mo apologizing?"
“You don’t know,” Ye Qingqing said coldly to Xu Mo, “that he caused this car accident.”
"Really?" Gu Yiming's expression changed, staring intently at Xu Mo. "Xu Mo, tell me." He had considered this possibility before—that Xu Mo had caused the car accident out of love turned to hate. But he trusted Xu Mo's character and hadn't investigated further. He never expected that Xu Mo really was behind it.
“Yes, it was me,” Xu Mo admitted dejectedly. “That day, I saw the two of them walking on the street and, in a moment of impulse, I ran into Hu Haoran. Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, Qingqing suddenly rushed forward and blocked my way.”
"So that's how it is!" Hu Haoran looked at Ye Qingqing, not knowing what to say. Qingqing had saved him from a disaster.
“Fine,” Xu Mo chuckled self-deprecatingly, “Qingqing, since you’ve said that, then I’ll kneel down and apologize to you.”
As Xu Mo spoke, he tried to kneel down, but found that his leg injury prevented him from bending his knees.
"Heh," Ye Qingqing sneered, "Can't kneel down? Looks like your apology lacks sincerity. Then there's nothing more to talk about between us."
After saying that, she turned around and refused to look at Xu Mo again.
Xu Mo stood dejectedly to the side, unsure of what to say.
“Qingqing,” Hu Haoran sat down next to Ye Qingqing and pulled her into his arms, “It’s all in the past now. We’re both safe and sound now. Although Xu Mo went too far, there’s no need to be so angry anymore.”
"Excessive?" Ye Qingqing turned to look at Hu Haoran, only then did he notice that her eyes were red, like a frightened little rabbit. "What he did was more than excessive! If his car had really hit you, or if I hadn't woken up today, I really can't imagine the consequences!"
Hu Haoran rarely saw Ye Qingqing so vulnerable, and his heart melted instantly. He gently comforted her, "Alright, alright, don't think about it so much, it's all in the past..."
Seeing this, Xu Mo lowered his eyes and stood silently to the side, saying nothing, but his hands, hanging at his sides, were clenched tightly. Why, why is everything different from before?
Seeing all this, Gu Yiming was also in a difficult position. He had no choice but to push Xu Mo out of the room, leaving the young couple with some space alone.
Stepping outside, the brothers, who hadn't seen each other in a long time, were speechless upon seeing each other again. Finally, Xu Mo gave a self-deprecating laugh and said, "Yi Ming, do you also want to condemn me?"
Gu Yiming thought for a moment before slowly speaking, "No, I understand you about this."
Xu Mo was not expected to receive such an answer. She looked at Gu Yiming with confusion and asked silently.
Gu Yiming took a deep breath and slowly said, "If what happened today had happened to Huahua, and if he were intimately with another man, I'm afraid... I would have gone crazy too."
Seeing Xu Mo looking at him, Gu Yiming paused for a moment, then continued, "I can understand how you feel, but you have to understand that you can't force feelings. When it's time to let go, you have to learn to let go."
Xu Mo glanced at the two people embracing tightly in the ward, his eyes filled with an unfathomable emotion. "It was a mistake for me to start liking her."
Gu Yiming silently approached and patted Xu Mo on the shoulder, "It's okay, everything will pass."
When Gu Yiming's hand touched Xu Mo's shoulder, Xu Mo stiffened. A rift had formed, one that might never be bridged. When did they become like this? She remembered how they used to walk arm in arm, talking about everything. When did she start to resist his touch?
"Xu Mo?"
Xu Mo snapped out of his daze and saw Gu Yiming looking at him with a puzzled expression. In order not to arouse his suspicion, Xu Mo could only force a smile and try to pat Gu Yiming's shoulder as usual, "Hey, don't worry about me. My new life is about to start from scratch."
His tone was exactly the same as before, which really made Gu Yiming think that Xu Mo had completely given up on Ye Qingqing.
Gu Yiming raised an eyebrow. Had he come to his senses so quickly? But if he was truly willing to start a new life, he was genuinely happy for him.
Suddenly, Gu Yiming seemed to realize something, and his expression became somewhat complicated. "Xu Mo, do you blame me for what happened to your sister?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Mo clenched his fists tightly, then slowly relaxed them. "My sister's situation is her own fault for being too greedy. Who else can she blame?"
Gu Yiming didn't notice anything unusual from Xu Mo's expression. On the contrary, upon hearing his answer, he felt a pang of guilt, and the emotions in his eyes became even more complicated.
"Yi Ming? Xu Mo?"
Jiang Hua, seeing that Gu Yiming hadn't returned for a long time, wondered what had happened. Worried, she went to the hospital, only to find Gu Yiming and Xu Mo standing outside the ward, their expressions grave.
"Painting?" Gu Yiming's negative emotions vanished the moment he saw his woman. "Why are you here?"
"I'm worried something might happen if you don't come back often," Jiang Hua said, giving Xu Mo a complicated look. After what happened to Xu Xiaoxiao, she didn't know how to face Xu Mo.
Gu Yiming put his arm around Jiang Hua, and Xu Mo consciously stepped aside to leave the two of them some private space.
"What happened?" Perhaps it was a woman's intuition, but Jiang Hua felt that something was wrong and the atmosphere was a bit strange.
Give me a kiss.
Gu Yiming looked into Jiang Hua's eyes and said very bluntly.
"Ugh," Jiang Hua lightly patted Gu Yiming, "How old are you? Still playing these kinds of tricks?"
