Chapter 66 Li Nian's Independent Side Story - When He Remembered It (Fifteen)
When Li Nian woke up with a pale face, Yu Qingzhou was sitting by the bed.
If it weren't for that hospital gown, it would be impossible to tell who was actually hospitalized.
"You're awake. How are you feeling? Is anything bothering you?"
Yu Qingzhou asked.
Li Nian just stared at him without saying a word, as if she didn't recognize him.
Upon seeing this, Yu Qingzhou's heart skipped a beat.
Did he break his head?
If that's really the case...
Just as Yu Qingzhou was contemplating the worst-case scenario, the young man suddenly spoke, his voice soft, like a ghost.
"I thought... you had left me again."
Upon hearing this, Yu Qingzhou was taken aback and blurted out instinctively, "Why would you think that?"
Upon hearing this, the young man blinked, and his previously misty eyes suddenly lit up, revealing an unusual brilliance.
Her lips moved slightly, as if she had a thousand words to say to Yu Qingzhou.
Before Li Nian could even open her mouth to express her feelings, she heard the other person continue, "This is my hospital room."
"..."
"If anyone's leaving, it's you."
"..."
What a heartless man.
Li Nian pressed his head in frustration, not his chest, because his head really hurt.
It not only hurts, but it also feels like a large lump has formed...
"Stop touching it, it'll hurt more if you touch it. It'll heal faster if you don't touch it."
As soon as Yu Qingzhou spoke, the young man immediately obediently removed his hands from his head, then turned his head left and right, as if trying to search for something in the ward.
After searching to no avail, he turned to Yu Qingzhou and asked with a nervous expression.
"Did I break any skin from that fall?"
Yu Qingzhou watched as the other person busied themselves for a long time, thinking it was something important, but it turned out to be just this question, which made her find it rather amusing.
"Is your face on your head?" he asked.
"……No."
Li Nian looked blank at first, then as if she had thought of something terrible, she showed a terrified expression.
Could it be—
Yu Qingzhou didn't know exactly what Li Nian was thinking, but he knew without asking that it must be something particularly outrageous again.
Thinking of this, Yu Qingzhou couldn't help but sigh. In the end, out of pity for that pale little face, she mercifully told the truth.
No. You're overthinking it.
"...I see."
Judging from Li Nian's expression, she seemed to have breathed a huge sigh of relief.
In this situation, Yu Qingzhou suddenly had a wicked idea.
"Compared to this—"
He deliberately dragged out his words while secretly observing Li Nian's expression, and then slowly uttered the second half of the sentence when the other party clearly caught his breath.
"You should be more worried about whether you've hurt your head."
Originally, Yu Qingzhou was just making a joke.
As retribution for Li Nian's previous recklessness, to be honest, the spot where he was hit is still throbbing slightly.
Although it was an accidental injury...
But Yu Qingzhou was still extremely fortunate, at least it was herself who was injured. No matter how strong Dr. Shen was, she was still a girl.
If he really gets hurt somewhere, or accidentally disfigures someone, let's see how Li Nian handles it.
Even if he wasn't called in for questioning by the police, his extended family of uncles, aunts, and cousins in the neighborhood wouldn't let him go easily.
Yu Qingzhou was used to being single and couldn't figure out the specific relationships within that large family.
Li Nian had previously considered bringing someone home to meet her parents, but Yu Qingzhou politely declined.
On the one hand, he felt that their relationship hadn't reached that point yet.
On the other hand, he was also genuinely troubled about how to address people.
However, Li Nian, after being rejected, did not seem particularly disappointed. She simply said that she respected Yu Qingzhou's opinion and that he could see her if he wanted to, or it didn't matter if he didn't.
Anyway, you're the most important person to me...
The young man spoke in a sticky, mushy way, while rubbing his bright red lips back and forth against Yu Qingzhou's neck, biting the flesh until it felt tingly and numb.
Yu Qingzhou slapped the other person away, not taking the latter's excited words seriously. She raised her hand and touched it, and sure enough, it was wet.
[Are you treating yourself like a dog?]
He pushed the young man away with utter disgust, intending to take a shower to wash away the saliva stains.
Unexpectedly, after taking only two steps, an arm suddenly reached out from behind and hugged him around the waist.
Yu Qingzhou stumbled, and when she came to her senses, she was already rolling around on the sofa.
Their hands and feet were intertwined, and their foreheads were pressed together.
"So be it, it's a dog."
The young man smiled, his heterochromatic eyes curving upwards, their varying shades like those in a dream.
Yu Qingzhou was momentarily lost in thought.
At the same time, he heard the young man's boastful whisper: "Look how well-behaved the dog is, isn't its owner going to give it a reward?"
Yu Qingzhou's mind was still immersed in the intense impact of the beauty before her.
The reaction was a beat slower than usual.
He inexplicably asked the other party what reward they wanted.
He had barely uttered two words when his lips were sealed shut.
A flurry of kisses fell, as gentle as last year's snow...
Then……
Then Yu Qingzhou was like a real bone, being gnawed on repeatedly, carefully, over and over again, inside and out, countless times.
Thinking of this, Yu Qingzhou couldn't help but shudder.
I was secretly alarmed; how could things have gone so awry, and in this particular direction...?
Actually, there's nothing strange about it.
However, after lying in the hospital for too long, and considering the period before hospitalization, Li Nian would pester him whenever she had free time, and she was the type who would create free time even when she didn't have any.
It was only then that Yu Qingzhou truly experienced what it meant for time to be like water in a sponge, and that it could be more than just time and water...
Before meeting Li Nian, Yu Qingzhou had even considered living her whole life alone.
It's not that he has any psychological problems or other hidden illnesses; he just finds it troublesome and unnecessary.
In his view, maintaining a relationship is far more trivial and troublesome than starting one. Not to mention, how to cleanly and quickly sever it.
Gathering together is the norm.
However, those who can part ways amicably are extremely rare.
If a relationship is destined to leave hurt, or even end up hurting both parties, why start it in the first place?
Yu Qingzhou thought so.
Therefore, Li Nian's appearance was purely accidental.
The young man was too proactive, yet it was just within the limits that Yu Qingzhou could tolerate.
It's a little more than indifference, and a little less than pushing your luck.
By the time she came to her senses, Yu Qingzhou had already gotten used to the other person's presence.
The most unexpected thing was that the two were surprisingly compatible in bed.
It's not a bad feeling.
Yu Qingzhou would think so.
—But that's how it is.
Because they couldn't be equally intense in their emotions, Yu Qingzhou would cooperate with any request that wasn't particularly unreasonable.
Just like you need wood before you can start a fire.
So this is the first time.
Looking at that beautiful face that she had imagined countless times in her mind, Yu Qingzhou suddenly felt a strong urge to kiss him...
Li Nian had no idea what Yu Qingzhou was thinking at that moment.
He felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.
It still comes from that cousin who always tries to dominate me.
He used to find Shen Yingxue merely an eyesore, but now she has become so repulsive that he wants to get rid of her as soon as possible.
At the same time, Li Nian also began to lack confidence in herself.
He wondered, does Yu Qingzhou really like him?
If I lose my mind and become an idiot, will you abandon me?
Li Nian thought about asking that question, but just imagining it made her feel disgusted, so she immediately decided not to humiliate herself.
—If I were disfigured and became an ugly monster, would you still want me?
Li Nian wanted to ask that question again, but she held back for the same reason.
Then, he sadly realized that what he really wanted to ask was—
"If I were just me, would you still like me as much as you do now?"
But this is fundamentally a false proposition.
Sure enough, Yu Qingzhou frowned slightly upon hearing this. Her expression seemed to say, "What a strange question."
But seeing the young man's expression, as if he was about to cry.
After a moment of silence, he looked into the other person's eyes and said earnestly, word by word, "To me, you are you, and you cannot be anyone else."
Yu Qingzhou rarely says "I love you." So these words are almost a naked confession.
However, to Li Nian, it sounded like... an ironic twist.
He brought all of this on himself.
Not long ago, they were thinking about overturning everything and starting over.
But does it really make sense?
The problem is never with the other party who is completely ignorant, but with himself... It is his own wishful thinking that has led to the current situation.
Yet they still foolishly believe that there exists a salvation perfectly tailored for them...
"Now it's my turn."
Some of the sudden remarks brought the young man, whose thoughts had been wandering, back to reality.
He stared blankly at Yu Qingzhou, completely bewildered.
"Yes, I answered your question seriously, so I should also receive a reward."
Before Li Nian could figure out where the word "also" came from, a shadow suddenly appeared in front of her.
—That was Yu Qingzhou's elongated shadow cast by the overhead incandescent light as she leaned closer to Li Nian.
Then, before the young man could react, she gave him a light, fleeting kiss.
