Chapter 188 Seeing Through the Edge



Yan Ruyu slowly returned to the hospital bed, and Zhao Beichen suddenly thought of something.

He asked with concern, "Miss Ruyu, did you eat breakfast this morning?"

When he left, she had just gotten up not long ago. After he left, she should have changed the dressing. If that was the case, she should not have eaten, Zhao Beichen guessed in his heart.

Yan Ruyu touched her stomach and nodded, "I really didn't eat."

[How can I have time to eat? I have to change the dressing soon after getting up. It hurts so much that I can’t eat. Even if I can eat, there is no food around me.]

[I thought they would bring me some when they came to see me, but it turned out that they had nothing. It doesn’t matter. As long as I don’t starve to death, it’s not a big problem. I can still bear it.]

Zhao Beichen listened to her mumbling in her heart, and felt both amused and distressed.

He sighed and said, "Sorry, I forgot about it when I came back. You must be starving. I'll go buy it for you now."

In fact, Zhao Beichen himself didn't eat anything, but he didn't think it was a big deal. Anyway, Yan Ruyu couldn't be hungry.

After asking Yan Ruyu what she wanted to eat, he left in a hurry.

Not long after, he returned to the ward panting, and walked to the bedside trying to breathe evenly.

Place the purchased items lightly on the cabinet.

While fiddling with it, he said, "I was going to buy you fried dough sticks, but when I got there I remembered that you're still in the hospital, so it's better not to eat anything greasy."

"So I changed it to steamed buns for you. They are filled with pure meat and will taste delicious."

Although he had tried his best to steadier his breathing when he spoke, Yan Ruyu still noticed something was wrong.

After observing for a long time, she asked, "Professor Zhao, you, didn't run back?"

If he hadn't run back, how could he be panting like that? Even if he tried his best to calm his breathing, the rise and fall of his chest was too obvious.

Zhao Beichen didn't want to tell her that the reason he was like this was because he ran there and ran back.

The reason why he ran was because he didn't want Yan Ruyu to be hungry, he wanted her to eat as soon as possible, and he also wanted her to eat something hot, so he chose to run, run back...

Facing Yan Ruyu's question, Zhao Beichen hesitated for a moment and smiled casually, "Of course I ran back. I didn't eat. I was really hungry, so I wanted to run back to eat quickly. What's wrong?"

Yan Ruyu opened her mouth and shook her head, "Nothing."

Zhao Beichen didn't continue the topic to avoid letting the cat out of the bag.

However, he soon found out that sometimes, the truth might not be something he let slip, but it might be that the facts did not match what he said, so it was exposed.

Zhao Beichen placed the food in front of Yan Ruyu.

Yan Ruyu looked at the breakfast in front of her without moving. She just watched silently with a frown on her face.

Zhao Beichen was a little confused when he saw that she didn't eat.

"What's wrong? Is the breakfast you bought not to your liking? If you don't like it, I can go out and find another one."

Yan Ruyu moved her lips slightly, pointed at the breakfast in front of her with her chopsticks, and spoke hesitantly.

"Professor Zhao, you just said that you ran back because you were really hungry, so you were anxious to come back to eat, right?"

Zhao Beichen didn't understand why she asked that, he just wanted to cover up the reason why he ran back.

Nodding, "Yeah."

"......" The room fell into a brief silence again.

After a while, Yan Ruyu raised her head and stared into Zhao Beichen's big eyes.

"But... the breakfast Professor Zhao brought back didn't include the one he wanted to eat..."

"......" This time it was Zhao Beichen's turn not to know how to answer.

Seeing Zhao Beichen remaining silent, Yan Ruyu began to feel suspicious.

[Why do I feel that Professor Zhao ran back not because he wanted to eat, but so that I could eat breakfast quickly? Why is Professor Zhao so nice to me? Is it because he treats me...?]

"No!" Zhao Beichen couldn't help but interrupt her because he was afraid that she would think too deeply about it.

"Ah? What?" Yan Ruyu was startled by these two sudden words and didn't understand what he meant.

Zhao Beichen also realized that his reaction was a bit too much, but he was just afraid that Yan Ruyu would notice his feelings for her.

His brain raced and he thought of a reason to deal with it. "I did buy myself breakfast, but it was not at the same stall as Miss Ruyu's. I might have left it there. I'll go check it out later. You can eat first."

This reason sounds so believable, but looking at Zhao Beichen's serious look, Yan Ruyu could only listen to it even if she didn't want to believe it.

He lowered his head and picked up a bun, and stopped just as he was about to take a bite.

"Um, Professor Zhao, how about you try some of mine first?"

[Professor Zhao said that he bought his own breakfast, but it doesn't look like he bought his own breakfast. Regardless of whether it is true or not, I will let Professor Zhao eat some with me first.]

Zhao Beichen originally wanted to reach out to take it, but after hearing these words, he immediately withdrew his hand.

She said nonchalantly, "No need, Miss Ruyu, just eat by yourself. I'll go get the breakfast back later."

If he took it like this, Yan Ruyu would be even more suspicious that he didn't buy her breakfast at all. In this way, he would be directly exposed.

Yan Ruyu looked at the hand he took back, feeling confused.

She didn't understand why Zhao Beichen came over.

I don’t understand why Zhao Beichen insisted that he bought breakfast.

He didn't understand why Zhao Beichen didn't want to eat his buns.

There were so many doubts in her mind that she could not eat anymore, but she was afraid that Zhao Beichen would worry, so she ate obediently.

Halfway through the meal, Yan Ruyu said, biting into a bun, "Professor Zhao, why don't you go find your breakfast now? Don't let someone take it away, otherwise it would be a waste of money."

There was no extra breakfast there, so Zhao Beichen only bought Yan Ruyu's portion and didn't buy any for himself.

Zhao Beichen thought of various topics, hoping that Yan Ruyu would stop thinking about this matter, but it was completely useless.

Helplessly, Zhao Beichen could only treat this fake thing as the real thing and pretended to leave the ward.

But Zhao Beichen forgot one thing when he left the ward. That was Yan Ruyu would most likely go to the window and look down...

After leaving the ward, Zhao Beichen thought again that he could not stay in the hospital corridor because Yan Ruyu would be discovered if she suddenly came out.
