Chu Nian was so unsteady that she slid backward and leaned against the elevator wall behind her.
Chen Qingqing had already slid to the elevator wall before her, and was leaning against the wall, holding onto the handrail with both hands, watching the two hanging together, enjoying the gossip.
When Chu Nian, with Lin Jingting clinging to her, slid down to her side, she felt a mix of emotions: Bai Nian had just said that she and Lin Jingting had a connection, but now it seemed that was not the case at all!
She gritted her teeth inwardly, but on the surface she said anxiously, "Niannian, the elevator malfunction seems to be quite serious. What should we do? Your fiancé Li Feibai is still in the hospital with no one to take care of him. You can't let anything happen to you!"
Fiancé? Chu Nianzhen chuckled: Chen Qingqing was trying to tell Lin Jingting that she already had someone. These guys are all such drama queens!
Before Chu Nian could react to Chen Qingqing's words, Lin Jingting had already turned and glared at Chen Qingqing, his eyes filled with malice.
Although the murderous aura emanating from him was fleeting, it seemed as if he was deliberately letting Chen Qingqing sense it. Chen Qingqing was so frightened by his glare that her legs went weak and she shrank back.
Chu Nian reiterated to Chen Qingqing, "Li Feibai and I have nothing to do with each other anymore. And..." She then turned to look at Lin Jingting, who was almost touching her face, "Was Li Feibai scared by you again after he left?"
She just remembered this: although she did use illusion magic to scare Li Feibai a little when he was at her house, she hadn't touched him since Wen Hua took him away. Logically speaking, Li Feibai was only slightly frightened, not scared to the point of being stupid.
Therefore, it is very likely that after Li Feibai left, he was frightened by other guys.
Lin Jingting smiled, a smile like a fox, but didn't answer.
Chu Nian understood, and pushed him again, saying, "If you can't stand, hold onto the elevator handrail, don't hang on me."
"No...no, I'm scared." Lin Jingting not only didn't let go, but hugged her even tighter.
Chu Nian's face darkened further.
Chen Qingqing felt a mix of envy, jealousy, and resentment; such a handsome and outstanding young man should belong to her.
Moreover, Bai Nian kept calling this boy "Lin Jingting," a name that coincided with the Jingting Apartments complex. She didn't think it was a coincidence; it was very likely that he was the developer of this famously luxurious apartment complex. This indicated that the boy's family background was quite extraordinary!
While she was pondering these things, she had already subjectively forgotten what Chu Nian had just told her: "The boy is a big ghost."
She said, "Niannian, what exactly is your relationship with this young man? Although it's popular for older men to date younger women these days, I advise you to be more realistic. Not every trend is worth following."
At our age, it's best to find someone of similar age and social standing. Besides, you and Fei Bai have been in love for ten years; a ten-year relationship can't be broken off so easily.
Chu Nian was too lazy to pay attention to Chen Qingqing. She kept bringing her up with Li Feibai, and all Chen Qingqing wanted was for others to know that she had a boyfriend.
Her current trouble is the person she's wearing.
However, this one seems to have a "fatal" weakness.
Remembering this, Chu Nian exclaimed, "Oh no, I'm so dizzy! I think I have motion sickness. The elevator was moving too violently just now..."
Chen Qingqing asked in surprise, "I've known you for so many years, how come I didn't know you had motion sickness?"
Lin Jingting glanced at her sideways, his smile almost bursting out of his mouth.
Chu Nian's lips twitched. She knew that this person definitely knew she was acting, but the play had already started, and it seemed that there was no way to turn back. Besides, if she didn't continue acting, was she supposed to let this person hang on to her like an octopus forever?
Chu Nian said again, "I feel like throwing up..." and pretended to vomit.
As expected, Lin Jingting was startled and quickly got off her, even drifting back a few steps to the other side of the elevator.
Chu Nian figured that if she quit while she was ahead, the old ghost would probably cling to her again, so she simply squatted down, clutching her stomach, and gagged. She said, "I feel like throwing up... ugh... I don't know when I can get out... ugh... my stomach feels so bad... ugh..."
Although Lin Jingting suspected she was faking it, Chu Nian's actions unconsciously reminded him of when Chu Nian was drunk and vomited everywhere she went, leaving the room full of vomit and a pungent, unpleasant smell...
Lin Jingting unconsciously covered her mouth and nose.
Then the elevator smoothly arrived at the first floor and opened the door: it seems there was no problem at all!
Chu Nian stepped out of the elevator with a brisk and decisive air, her joy evident on her face.
Chen Qingqing couldn't help but say, "Hey, aren't you suffering from motion sickness? Aren't you feeling unwell? You might not even get motion sickness from spinning 316 degrees in an airplane, but you're giving yourself motion sickness from riding an elevator? What are you pretending to be all sickly for?!"
Lin Jingting walked past her with a cold face, the chill emanating from him forcing her to unconsciously take several steps back, her head hitting the wall behind her.
Chu Nian walked to the entrance of the building and found that Chen Qingqing had not followed yet, so she turned around and waved to her, calling out, "Qingqing, hurry up, what are you daydreaming about?"
Chen Qingqing then quickly followed.
Chu Nian noticed that Lin Jingting was still following them and asked curiously, "Lin Jingting, what are you doing following us?"
Chen Qingqing wanted to interject, "Oh right, Niannian went to visit her boyfriend." But thinking of the chilling aura Lin Jingting had just exuded, she didn't dare say it.
Lin Jingting asked, "Are you going to the hospital to see Li Feibai?"
Chu Nian nodded and said, "Yes!" He still owes his sister ten million!
Lin Jingting: "I will go with you."
Chu Nian: "What are you going to do?"
Lin Jingting: ...Let's see if he can just die like this.
Lin Jingting didn't speak, her beautiful phoenix eyes fixed on Chu Nian.
Chu Nian wondered if she was seeing things: why did this old ghost's eyes seem to hold a hint of resentment, even making her feel sorry for him? It was as if he was a little, uh, very, sad and upset.
This must be her imagination.
Chen Qingqing felt like she was about to go blind from the cringe-worthy interaction between the two, so she interjected, "Mr. Lin, Chu Nian is going to see her boyfriend. It's not... really appropriate for you to go with her!"
Lin Jingting turned her head and glared at her with a cold face: It's all this white lotus's fault!
Chen Qingqing felt flustered by his cold gaze, but she just couldn't believe that such a handsome young man was a ghost, or rather, an evil ghost. So she mustered up her courage and said, "How about we wait outside when we get to the hospital, and let Niannian go to the ward by herself?"
Because Li Feibai was incontinent, the smell in that ward was extremely disgusting, and Chen Qingqing really didn't want to go in.
