Chapter 191 The handsome young man is really quite good.
Meng Chao paused, his tone becoming even more sincere.
"I know that saying this abruptly might be a burden for you, but I'm telling you this just so you know that I like you, and I'm serious about it. I don't want to force you to make any decisions right now; I just want you to see my feelings and consider me. I also want to do everything I can to make you happy."
Ji Wanqing's heartbeat completely went off track.
She wasn't unaware of the special attention and protection that Biefei showed her, but she always assumed it was just her older brother's favoritism towards his favorite streamer and never thought it would extend into reality.
Meng Chao is very well-off; his family background, appearance, and abilities are all top-notch.
She thought that given his personality, he would let it go once the novelty wore off, and that in the world of live streaming, no one could stay with anyone forever.
But now he has not only brought this feeling into reality, but also expressed it in such a passionate and meticulous way.
Seeing her stunned silence, Meng Chao softened his tone, revealing his unique smile, a mixture of sincerity and a touch of roguishness.
"Don't put so much pressure on yourself. Just think of it as having a special fan who is a bit greedy. This fan not only wants to watch your live stream online, but also wants to have the opportunity to treat you to a meal or a movie in real life, or... like right now, to have a quiet chat with you."
He pointed to the apple from before, "Like this apple, I'm giving it to you. You can choose to eat it or not. The decision is always yours. I just want to present you with the best and let you choose."
Sunlight streamed through the window, casting a soft glow on him.
The ward was so quiet that you could hear each other breathing clearly.
Looking into his eyes, which were full of smiles and seriousness, Ji Wanqing realized for the first time that Biefei was not just an ID in the live stream, but a real, charming man who was seriously pursuing her.
Her once tranquil heart was devastated when a small pebble was thrown into it, and it could never regain its former peace.
After a long silence, Ji Wanqing spoke softly, "Brother Meng Chao... thank you for being so honest, and thank you for your kindness. To be honest, I was surprised, but... I don't dislike it."
She paused, her gaze falling on the rosy apple, then met his eyes, her gaze clear and open.
“You presented me with these best things, and I truly saw them and felt their weight.” Her tone was sincere, without a trace of perfunctoriness.
“However,” she said, her tone shifting slightly, with a hint of apology and insistence, “I… may need a little more time to process this and think about what I really want. My life has just gone through some changes, and my mother is recovering. I hope to sort things out first and get myself back on my feet.”
She neither refused outright nor gave vague answers, but clearly expressed her current state and needs.
Meng Chao looked at her, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes. He understood that this was the best response he could get at this stage.
She didn't panic and refuse, nor did she easily pander to him because of his background; she maintained her clear-headed independence and rare sincerity.
He laughed, a laugh that was more relaxed and genuine than before.
“Okay, I’ll save the apple for you. No rush, take your time untangling your mess. As for me…” He pointed to himself, his tone losing its usual roguishness, “Anyway, I’m the most patient. I’m determined to be the number one influencer both online and offline.”
Ji Wanqing was amused by his words, and the two stopped talking about that topic and switched to some lighter conversations.
Through this conversation, Ji Wanqing learned that Meng Chao's parents were busy with their careers and he went abroad at a very young age. Due to the language barrier and the significant differences in lifestyle between him and the white people, Meng Chao went through a very difficult period. That's why he later became addicted to playing games and met Qingye, who was not yet famous at the time, and the two became good friends.
Thinking of Qingye, Ji Wanqing couldn't help but feel a ripple in her heart again.
She wasn't stupid; Kiyono's concern for him seemed to have gone beyond that of ordinary friends.
Ji Wanqing sighed inwardly; it was truly a tangled mess.
After the two had finished chatting, Ji's mother and the others returned. Meng Chao originally wanted to take Ji Wanqing home, but Ji Wanqing said she wanted to stay and keep her mother company, so Meng's mother pulled Meng Chao away.
After they left, Ji's mother noticed Ji Wanqing's thoughtful expression and realized that the two must have discussed something important.
Ji Wanqing was still gazing out the window, lost in thought, when her mother suddenly spoke up, "Meng Chao confessed his feelings to you?"
Ji Wanqing was startled by the voice, and feeling a little guilty, she pouted and said coquettishly, "What nonsense are you talking about, Mom?"
"It's as if I've never been young." Ji's mother looked at her with a smile, while Ji Wanqing remained silent.
Mother Ji continued, "So it seems you didn't agree?"
"Hmm..." Ji Wanqing responded softly, "Work is more important. We can talk about the rest later."
The aunt, who was listening nearby, also chimed in with a smile, "This handsome young man is really nice. He's so good to Sister He. He gets so nervous when she coughs that he's about to call the doctor."
Ji Wanqing smiled and shook her head helplessly, "Auntie, please stop making a fuss."
"Hmm, that young man from last time was also quite good, what was his name again..." The aunt looked at Ji's mother.
"Xie Chi," Ji's mother added.
Ji Wanqing covered her ears, "I won't listen, I won't listen. Looking at you like this, shouldn't you be discharged from the hospital?"
"Dr. Pei said we need to observe her for a while longer, and to be on the safe side, we can discharge her once her condition has stabilized." The aunt was successfully steered off course by Ji Wanqing and answered her question earnestly.
"Okay." Ji Wanqing put her hand down. "Then let's stay a little longer, and listen to Dr. Pei."
She hadn't seen Pei Yu in the past two days. He was never in his office, always busy with surgery. She could only ask her mother and aunt.
After chatting with her mother for a while, Ji Wanqing finally prepared to go back.
Just as I stood up, I saw Pei Yu, wearing a white coat, walk in. "Dr. Pei, are you off surgery?"
Pei Yu's face lit up with a delighted smile; it seemed he was having a lucky day.
He nodded. "Just got off work. I thought I'd come and check on Auntie, but I'll go home if there's nothing else." He saw Ji Wanqing standing there with her bag. "Are you going home?"
"Mm." Ji Wanqing nodded as well.
"Shall we go together?" Pei Yu asked as he walked over.
He breathed a sigh of relief after receiving Ji Wanqing's response. He inquired about Ji's mother's condition and, seeing that she was alright, went back to his office to change his clothes.
Ji Wanqing waited for him at the office door, and the two walked out of the hospital together.
