Chapter 147 Enjoy
Yu Nian sat on the lawn outside the ward for a while, feeling the evening breeze on her body. Only when the sun began to set and a pink sunset glow appeared in the sky did she get up and return to the ward.
Ji Yanxing waited in the ward for a long time, but Yu Nian didn't come back. He was not annoyed because he knew she would come back to take care of him.
He was injured and couldn't move, so he just sat on the hospital bed. The tablet in front of him was playing the cartoon she found for him because he was bored.
Just waiting for her to come back like this...it feels good.
"Click", the sound of the door opening, Ji Yanxing immediately closed his eyes and breathed evenly, as if he fell asleep.
There was no light in the ward, and the light was already dim. When Yu Nian came in, she heard the cheerful child's voice playing on the tablet. She looked at the bed and he seemed to be asleep. After thinking for a moment, Yu Nian decided to wake him up. First, he hadn't had dinner yet, and second, if he slept now, he wouldn't be able to sleep at night.
Walking to the bedside, she bent down and called him softly, "Ji Yanxing."
Ji Yanxing closed his eyes, his face still a little pale, giving people a sense of fragility for no reason. Yu Nian's voice became even softer: "Ji Yanxing, get up and eat."
Because she leaned over to call him, she was very close to him. When Ji Yanxing opened his eyes, he met her clear eyes, "You're back."
"Okay," Yu Nian said, "I'll help you sit up and feed you."
Ji Yanxing pursed his lips and said, "I don't want to eat."
Yu Nian looked at him and said, "You are still in the recovery period. Not eating will not be conducive to recovery."
Ji Yanxing stared at her for a few seconds and said in a sullen tone, "Okay, but you have to kiss me first."
Yu Nian: "...Are you childish?"
"Hurry up, I'm hungry."
Yu Nian had no choice but to lean over and peck him lightly on the side of his face, "Can we eat now?"
"Well, it's OK." "..."
Sometimes he is really childish, like a child throwing a tantrum, but he is easy to coax and will stop throwing a tantrum after a kiss.
Yu Nian opened the thermal box that Aunt Liu had sent her. The aroma of food filled her nose, and she felt a little hungry.
She ate a bite herself, fed Ji Yanxing a bite, and finished the meal slowly.
When it was time to go to bed at night, Yu Nian was forced by him to sleep with him. He said that he would sleep soundly with her. She did not refuse, but leaned on the pillow and watched the cartoon with him.
They were just killing time, and they were chatting while watching. Ji Yanxing suddenly said, "I remember the picture you drew in your diary."
Yu Nian was stunned.
“I gave you an umbrella.”
"Um."
She was young at that time. If she were in her current state of mind, she would definitely not like him just because he was good-looking and had the aura of a genius. At most, she would be amazed - what a handsome guy, pleasing to the eyes.
"Where's my umbrella?" he asked.
Yu Nian curled his fingers and said casually, "Throw it away."
“……” Ji Yanxing glared at her, disbelief written all over his face.
Yu Nian: "..."
Under his direct gaze, Yu Nian felt her face turn red for no reason, and said vaguely, "I threw it in the closet."
Ji Yanxing curled his lips: "I knew you would keep it well."
“…”
It was so long ago when they were young, and now that he brought it up, Yu Nian felt a little uncomfortable. She still remembered how silly she was at that time, staring at him like a crazy fan, which was so embarrassing.
Seeing her ears turn red, Ji Yanxing's smile deepened, "Have you never seen a handsome guy before or what? You stare at me like a fangirl, and for such a long time."
Yu Nian glared at him, and felt disgusted by his smug tone. "Why did you give me an umbrella? Do you often give umbrellas to little girls to win their hearts?"
Ji Yanxing raised his eyebrows: "Do I need to give them umbrellas to win their hearts?"
“…”
Seeing her puffed up cheeks like an angry little animal, Ji Yanxing pinched her fingers and said with a smile: "I noticed you on the stage, you little nympho staring at me eagerly."
Yu Nian was startled: "What?"
"Although there are many girls who look at me like this, there are very few who don't even blink like you do. After all, most girls are reserved."
Yu Nian looked at him expressionlessly: "Are you saying that I'm not reserved?"
"What reserved girl would give a crazy look to a strange man."
“…”
She was just too obsessed with looks. She wasn't obsessed with him like a devout believer as he said.
"What did you think of me then?"
Ji Yanxing stared at her and chuckled, "I came out from backstage and saw you walking around in the corridor with your phone in your arms, trying to find a signal. You were so anxious that you almost stamped your feet. I found it very interesting, so I leaned against the wall, smoking and watching you anxiously like an ant on a hot pot."
Yu Nian: "..."
"Maybe because you look so cute and you're crazy about me, I felt sorry for you and gave you the umbrella."
Yu Nian said indifferently: "You are a kind person. Were you often full of kindness back then?"
“…”
How could he not hear that she was jealous?
"That was the only time I did a good deed in all these years," Ji Yanxing pinched her chin and said frivolously, "It seems I did the right thing. You have remembered me for so many years."
“…”
Yu Nian felt sullen looking at his smug expression. She should have burned the diary earlier. He was so proud of himself.
"When we get back together," Ji Yanxing's tone returned to a more serious tone, "then show me the diary."
Yu Nian: "Haven't you seen it?"
“Only a few pages.”
Before I could finish reading it, she rushed in.
Yu Nian lowered her eyes, and after a few seconds, she looked up at him and said seriously, "Ji Yanxing, I'm honest with you. I'm very happy to be with you. I succumb to the joy in my heart and the warmth in reality, but I don't want to make a decision yet."
Suddenly, she felt a little self-loathing. He saved her and treated her well, so why did she still want to take advantage of Qiao? But she really didn't mean to take advantage of Qiao and not want to get back together with him. She just, just...
Ji Yanxing's Adam's apple rolled and he gently pinched her fingers. The intimate but not excessive action relieved Yu Nian's inner guilt. She looked up at him and met his dark eyes.
"I know you don't have confidence in me yet. What happened before was my fault. I knew you valued relationships, but I still threatened you with your family and friends and forced you to be with me. I was an asshole."
Yu Nian's eyelashes trembled.
When he was forcing her the most, she even hated him a little, hating why he was so selfish and only cared about his own wishes.
So now she is very resistant to any kind of relationship that requires restraint.
The cost of her last divorce was too high, and she couldn't willingly confine herself to it again for the time being.
"Although I really want to ask for a favor in return, I won't be happy even if you agree to get back together. I won't use mean and selfish means to force you to do things you don't want to do," Ji Yanxing's tone was gentle, with an indescribable indulgence and doting. "You don't have to feel guilty. I enjoy the process of pursuing you. You just need to say 'I love you' to me when you fall in love with me again."
