For some reason, Ye Xinning felt that Song Zhengchu's reaction was a bit too intense.
"Does Dad think this is a very important issue?" After Ye Xinning asked, Song Zhengchu looked away, but after a brief moment, he returned to his usual self.
"It's nothing, I just heard you mention him, so I was a little curious about what you think."
"Why is Dad asking that? What do you mean by 'what I think'?"
"Ji Jianshen is not suitable for you." Having said that, Song Zhengchu saw no need to beat around the bush with Ye Xinning anymore.
Ye Xinning was genuinely surprised that Song Zhengchu suddenly said such a thing, what did he mean by saying that she and Ji Jianshen were not suitable for each other?
She and Ji Jianshen had always been just ordinary friends. She never thought much of it. Although she felt grateful to Ji Jianshen, it was just gratitude.
There were no other feelings left.
“Dad, I don’t know when you started to misunderstand these things, but I can tell you clearly that I have never had feelings for Ji Jianshen that go beyond friendship. I am just very grateful for his help to me back then, and there are no other feelings besides that.”
Song Zhengchu naturally knew that Ye Xinning's heart was with Shen Lin. Apart from Shen Lin, there was no other person that Ye Xinning could love so much and be so unable to let go of.
"It's good that you don't have any extra feelings for Ji Jianshen."
Ye Xinning looked at Song Zhengchu and, for some reason, felt that something was not quite right.
"Ji Jianshen has known Dad for so long and even calls Dad Uncle Song, so why does Dad treat Ji Jianshen this way? As far as I know, Dad has never really liked Ji Jianshen."
"You've misunderstood; those things aren't true."
After Ye Xinning finished speaking, it was clear that Song Zhengchu was not very happy. "There is no other reason. Ji Jianshen has always been alone. I don't want you to find someone like him who is all alone in the future."
Ye Xinning understood. "Dad said that because he felt Ji Jianshen had no other relatives around him?"
Ji Jianshen gave a faint "hmm," and said, "That's roughly the idea. But if you don't have those kinds of feelings for Ji Jianshen, then just pretend I didn't say those things and don't take them to heart."
Ye Xinning wanted to ask something else, but before she could speak, her phone rang in her pocket.
She had no choice but to answer the phone.
The moment the call was answered, Shen Lin's voice came through.
"Ningning."
His voice was weak, and he sounded very uncomfortable.
Ye Xinning was still instinctively worried and anxious for him, "Chen Lin, what's wrong?"
"Gu Shilin went out, and the doctor isn't here either. It seems like my wound has reopened."
Ye Xinning frowned. "Why did the wound reopen? Where are Gu Shilin's servants? Aren't they here either?"
"I can't answer your call, Ningning, could you come here for a moment?"
Ye Xinning held the phone without saying a word.
She remained silent for a long time before Chen Lin spoke again, "Fine, if you don't want to come, I won't force you. Anyway, I won't die from this injury anytime soon, so you should rest well."
After Shen Lin finished speaking, he hung up the phone. Ye Xinning had just wanted to speak, but she didn't even have a chance to finish what she was saying.
After hanging up the phone, Song Zhengchu looked at her and asked, "Whose call was that?"
“Chen Lin said that Gu Shilin went out, and his wound seems to have reopened, and there is no one to take care of him.”
"Nobody?"
Ye Xinning nodded and said, "That's what he said on the phone."
"So what do you think? You should go and take a look."
Ye Xinning lowered her head, staring at her phone screen, and remained silent for a long time.
Song Zhengchu patted her on the shoulder, "Don't overthink it. Go if you want to, and don't go if you don't want to."
Ye Xinning sat there in silence for a long time before finally saying, "I'll go for a bit, I'll be right back."
"Okay, I'll have He Yu go with you."
"Um."
...
He Yu was driving, and on the way to Gu Shilin's villa, Ye Xinning kept staring out the car window in a daze. Her mind was filled with Shen Lin's weak voice from earlier. She had to admit that no matter how much time passed, she would still worry and feel uneasy about Shen Lin.
This man still held a very important place in her heart.
He Yu parked the car at the entrance, and Ye Xinning opened the car door and got out. "He Yu, wait for me here. I'll be out soon."
"Miss, you can stay longer if you wish. It's alright, don't worry about me."
After saying that, He Yu drove away.
Ye Xinning turned and walked into the villa, but just as Shen Lin had said, she did not see Gu Shilin along the way, so he was probably not at home.
Thinking about this, Ye Xinning became even more worried about Shen Lin. She walked in, went upstairs, and pushed open the bedroom door.
Then I saw Shen Lin lying on the bed, his face pale, and the gauze on his wound was already stained red.
Ye Xinning walked over in shock, helped Shen Lin up, and looked at his wound that had reopened, extremely anxious, "Shen Lin, are you alright?"
Shen Linben had his eyes closed, but upon hearing this, he opened them and saw that the person sitting in front of him was her. He said in surprise, "Ningning, what brings you here?"
Don't you know how I got here?
Ye Xinning said irritably, asking him why his wound had reopened.
Shen Lin simply said, "I don't know either. Aren't you unable to come? Go and do your own thing. You don't need to worry about me."
Shen Lin refused, and Ye Xinning rolled her eyes speechlessly. "Shen Lin, stop pretending, okay? Do you think I don't know you? If you really didn't want me to come, you wouldn't have called me. Now that I've come as you wished, why are you putting on this act?"
“I never intended to force you to come. I only called you because I didn’t know who else to call. Gu Shilin didn’t answer my calls, so I had no other choice. If this call caused you to misunderstand, then I’m very sorry.”
Shen Lin's face was pale, and he spoke these words as he parted his thin lips slightly.
Ye Xinning stared intently into his eyes. He spoke very seriously, not as if he were deliberately lying.
She began to wonder if she had misunderstood him.
He genuinely contacted her because he couldn't find anyone else, and not because he wanted to exploit her sympathy to get her to come over.
"Okay, I'll contact a doctor for you. Don't move."
"I don't need you to contact me. I can handle it myself. You can leave."
Ye Xinning frowned and pressed down on Chen Lin, who was constantly fidgeting. "Do you still want to make up your mind? If you do, then don't move."
Shen Lin completely ignored her and continued to move around on the bed. Ye Xinning finally couldn't bear it any longer and just as she was about to get up, Shen Lin pulled hard on her hand, and the next second her body fell uncontrollably towards him, her red lips landing on his lips...
