Chapter 509: I'm teasing you
The ward, which had been bustling all day, suddenly became deserted. Yu Zhan was still a little uncomfortable and couldn't fall asleep for a while. He picked up his phone and prepared to post a Weibo before going to bed. He thought for a while and had just typed two words when the door of the ward was opened. He thought it was the nurse coming in for rounds, so he didn't even raise his head and continued typing.
As the person approached, he smelled a familiar body odor through his nose, which had just become unblocked and extremely sensitive. It couldn't be called body odor, it was just Liu Lan's unique physiological odor, or perhaps just the smell of the soap she often used.
He raised his head and looked at the girl who had walked to the bed.
"Did you leave anything behind?"
Liu Man snatched his phone away, held his hand, and said seriously, "I left you behind."
Yu Zhan was stunned. Seeing the sly smile on her eyes and eyebrows, he also laughed, "Can I understand your words as teasing me?"
"Yeah," the shy girl in his heart actually admitted it generously.
"You came back just to tease me?"
Liu Lan shook her head. "I'm still worried about you being alone, so I'll stay with you overnight. My mother has already gone home, so I have to keep this a secret from her. Otherwise, she'll think I'm a 'girl who can't be kept at home'."
...
...
Yu Zhan teased her deliberately, "Aren't you afraid that we, a man and a woman, being alone in a room together, will affect your reputation?"
"Hmph, you still have the nerve to say that. You've already ruined my reputation."
Liu Lan pretended to be angry and let go of his hand, preparing to go to the nurse's station to borrow a camp bed. However, Yu Zhan raised his hand and held her hand, which she had not had time to withdraw, and gently scratched her palm with his fingers, finally seeing shyness on her face again, and two blushes flew across her cheeks.
Yu Zhan's eyes also became extremely gentle, and a faint smile spread across his lips. He thought he must have a bad taste, he just liked to see Liu Man's shy look, it was so cute.
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. You should go back and have some rest. You won't be able to rest well here anyway. I don't want you to be too tired." Yu Zhan was not unwilling to have Liu Lan spend the night with him, but he didn't want Liu Lan to sacrifice her own health to take care of him.
"I'll wait until you fall asleep before I leave. You are not allowed to play with your phone," Liu Lan sat down in front of his bed, as if supervising him.
There was a light above her head, and circles of light made her face very bright. Yu Zhan could clearly see every expression on her face.
Yu Zhan's mind inexplicably floated up some long-lost fragments of memory. When he was very young, his mother also sat in front of the bed like this, telling him a few fairy tales and coaxing him to sleep with a gentle voice. He no longer remembers his mother's appearance, but he still remembers the warm and satisfying feeling.
He was even more reluctant to let go of Liu Man's hand. He slowly closed his eyes and said, "Man Man, will you marry me after you graduate from college?"
His voice was very soft, as if he was talking in his sleep.
Liu Lan felt it was so sudden. Zhang Pei was right. She had never thought about these future things. After traveling through time, she tried hard to adapt to modern life and help her family repay debts. In her cognition, making money was the top priority, so she did not put too much energy on dating Yu Zhan. Dating also takes time.
As for the concept of getting married, it was too far away from her. Even though she and Yu Zhan were so close, in her time, she had to marry him. At her age, she would probably be a mother of two children. But her ideas had long been impacted and integrated by modern ideas. Like modern girls, she felt that dating did not necessarily mean getting married.
She whispered, "I don't want to get married too early."
Yu Zhan didn't say anything and his breathing was even. Liu Lan thought he was asleep, so she quietly stood up, gently released his hand, tucked in the quilt for him, and then looked at him for a long time. After making sure that he was really asleep, she came over and gently touched his eyelashes.
Yu Zhan, who was pretending to be asleep, felt his heart suddenly stir, and he tried his best to resist the urge to hold her in his arms.
Liu Lan opened the door quietly and turned off the lights in the ward.
As soon as she left, Yu Zhan opened his eyes. The question he asked just now was not a joke. He just wanted to test Liu Lan's attitude. The result was as he expected. Liu Lan had never considered their future at all, which made him feel somewhat disappointed.
