Fu Yunzheng raised his hand, wanting to wipe her tears. He couldn't bear to see her sad. However, when his rough, bandaged hand touched the girl's delicate, fresh face, he instantly thought of his own disfigured face in the mirror. Suddenly, all his courage seemed to vanish.
He withdrew his hand sadly, feeling ashamed and inferior. He had already changed beyond recognition, yet Bai Yalan had always been by his side. How could he still be worthy of her?
Fu Yunzheng said nothing, but looked at Bai Yalan calmly, watching her wipe away her own tears, and even forced a smile, coaxing him to drink water. She also got a new meal and ate with him.
In order not to let Bai Yalan worry, he did everything he was told. In the end, he could even say to her with a smile: "Go home, it's very late. Don't worry about me, I'm fine, I can make it through it."
How could Bai Yalan feel at ease? "Let me stay with you. There's a camp bed here. It won't be a problem for me to sleep on it for one night."
Fu Yunzheng was still smiling, and his laughter was gentle. If he wasn't like this, she would almost think that they had returned to the days of peaceful companionship before.
That kind of simple and peaceful happiness was like a dream in her life, an unattainable luxury.
No one knew that the pain in her heart was no less than Fu Yunzheng's.
He smiled and said, "Let's go. Even though we're dating, it's not good for a girl like you to stay here. It won't have a good influence."
Bai Yalan's eyes were red, but she still insisted, "I don't care."
Nothing is more important to her than him now.
However, Fu Yunzheng said very seriously: "I care! Be obedient and go back to rest. I can do it by myself."
Bai Yalan was speechless. She understood his persistence and pride. "Okay, I promise, I'll go home and rest. But can you let me stay with you for a while longer?"
Her eyes were red, and she begged him quietly in such a rare way. His heart softened, and he finally couldn't bear to refuse.
She stayed there until midnight. Bai Yalan saw that he seemed to be asleep, lying on the bed with his eyes closed and motionless. She finally got up and shook his hand vigorously. "Fu Yunzheng, I'm leaving. I'll come to see you tomorrow!"
After she finished speaking, she looked at him in such a state that besides heartache, there was also a deep attachment in her eyes. She finally understood the true meaning of the saying, "Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder."
No matter what he looks like now, she still loves him and remains loyal to him.
She bent down, put her cheek close to his chest, and heard the strong beating of his heart in his chest. She felt very at ease. At least, he was still alive and well, and that was enough.
"You will definitely get better!" She murmured softly, wiped her eyes, walked out of the ward with very light steps, and then closed the door gently.
The footsteps gradually faded away, and Fu Yunzheng opened his eyes. His eyes were red and he was not sleepy at all.
With some difficulty, he slowly sat up. Subconsciously, he reached out and touched his chest. There, he seemed to still have the warmth and the throbbing sensation she had brought him when she was close to him just now.
He gave a bitter smile and fell into deep thought. If he was like this, being with Bai Yalan would only be a burden to her. He had to find a chance to tell Bai Yalan about the situation. He couldn't delay her.
Because he loved her, he didn't want her to suffer any injustice. So, he decided to let go and set her free. He turned his head and looked out the window at the thick night, like indissoluble ink.
