Extra: Yao Xiuyuan's Age (Part 9)
Ying Nian had indeed calmed down. After seeing him, she even apologized to him apologetically, "I'm sorry, I just lost control of my emotions. I shouldn't have done that. If Tang Yu bothers you for this, you can tell him that I just wanted to piss him off. I'm sorry."
Ying Nian really felt sorry. Yao Xiuyuan was a straight man who helped him time and time again, but he said something like "I like him" to Tang Yu out of momentary anger. This was totally wrong.
Yao Xiuyuan didn't mind it. He found another cup to get water for Ying Nian, walked to his bed and handed it to him, "Would you like some water?"
Ying Nian took it. Yao Xiuyuan looked at his slightly red eyes, sat down beside his bed, and said to him, "Don't mind this kind of thing. Since I went to school, every month there are girls who want to tell others that they like me, and there are girls who point their fingers at me and ask their boyfriends to learn from me. If this requires an apology, the apologies I have received can probably be used to fill the sea."
Ying Nian couldn't help but smile when he heard that, and when Yao Xiuyuan saw him smile, he also smiled. He was very handsome, with peach blossom eyes, and when he smiled, he had a kind of tenderness and affection, which made him look a bit romantic and amorous, but Ying Nian felt that he was very gentle.
He drank the water in the glass quietly. Yao Xiuyuan advised him, "Get some sleep. You can be discharged from the hospital tomorrow morning."
Ying Nian nodded, put the cup on the bedside table next to him, and lay down.
Yao Xiuyuan was a little worried about him, so he didn't leave. He just said to him, "I'm going to the nursing room inside to rest. Call me if you need anything." Then, to Ying Nian's surprise, he walked into the nursing room.
Ying Nian felt that there was no need for Yao Xiuyuan to do this, but then he thought that he was also worried about himself, so he didn't say anything more and accepted his kindness.
After tossing and turning, he was a little tired physically and mentally, and soon fell asleep. However, Ying Nian did not sleep well this time, as he always felt as if something was chasing him, and he struggled invisibly in his dream.
After Yao Xiuyuan finished chatting with Shao Yong, they came out to drink water and glanced at Ying Nian. He saw that Ying Nian was frowning, as if he was struggling with something in his dream.
He quickly shook his shoulders and shouted, "Yingnian, wake up, Yingnian."
Ying Nian was shaken awake by him and looked at him in a daze. Yao Xiuyuan sat down beside his bed and asked him, "Did you have a nightmare?"
Ying Nian shook his head. He didn’t have a nightmare. He just felt vaguely depressed and uncomfortable in the dream, so he wanted to escape.
"It's not a nightmare." He said softly, "I just feel uncomfortable."
Yao Xiuyuan thought it might be related to what happened today, so he advised, "It's okay, it might be because you're in the hospital, don't put pressure on yourself."
Ying Nian nodded, "You go to sleep," he said, "I'm fine."
Yao Xiuyuan actually wanted to sit with him for a while, but since Ying Nian was like this, he was afraid that if he sat here, it would add pressure to his sleep, so he stood up and said, "Then I'll go back first. If you can't sleep, call me."
Ying Nian nodded, "Okay, thank you." He said, and smiled slightly.
Yao Xiuyuan looked at the smile on his face, but couldn't smile. Ying Nian always seemed to be like this, polite and courteous, gentle and distant, always afraid of troubling others or letting them down, unless there was really no other way, otherwise, he would rather pretend to be strong than show weakness and crave for care.
Yao Xiuyuan felt that he didn't need to be so polite. He was a few years older than him and now they lived together. They were friends, so he could be a little weaker in front of him. For example, now, he could let him sit with him for a while longer.
However, Ying Nian had already asked him to go back first, so he didn't say anything more. He just said good night and got him a glass of water and placed it on the bedside table next to him.
Ying Nian watched him leave and lay silently on the bed. He was still a little sleepy, but he didn't know why he couldn't fall asleep. He opened and closed his eyes, closed and opened them again, and repeated this for a long time before he finally fell asleep.
