"But you and Gu Qingyan had a marriage of convenience, and Yu Yu was conceived through IVF. You have your own reasons for not being able to do what you want, don't you?"
Yu Yao's emotions were on the verge of spiraling out of control.
"Now it's gone. You can let go of those things that cause you pain and go back to..."
"No, Yu Yao."
Xu Zhaozhao shook her head, interrupting Yu Yao again.
"The agreement never existed. The marriage certificate is real."
She was much calmer than she had imagined. "It's true that I like him, and it's true that Yu Yu is our son. And it's also true that you... ruined our relationship."
Xu Zhaozhao actually thinks she's pretty scummy. She's met a lot of men in her past life, but none of them have ever made her heart flutter.
There's only Gu Qingyan left.
The atmosphere froze, and neither of them spoke.
Xu Zhaozhao laughed self-deprecatingly: "It's impossible for me to like you, and there's no possibility of anything further. Don't do anything childish."
She only needs to like Gu Qingyan; she doesn't have any more.
To put it another way.
Liking Gu Qingyan had exhausted all her courage; she was always cowardly in matters of the heart.
Yu Yao's eyes were completely red, and it seemed that there were still tears glistening in them.
"elder sister……"
Xu Zhaozhao turned to leave, but he reached out to grab her.
She suddenly started running, the air flowing through his empty palms, just like his empty heart.
He looked up and saw Xu Zhaozhao with a bright smile he had never seen before, like a happy child who had received candy, running towards Gu Qingyan not far away.
Then, he pulled her into his arms.
Gu Qingyan glanced at him briefly before leading Xu Zhaozhao back to the ward.
Xu Zhaozhao turned her head to look at him, "I don't have anything with him."
"Um."
Gu Qingyan tightened his grip on her hand and didn't hide anything from her, "I heard a little bit."
This piqued Xu Zhaozhao's curiosity, so she leaned closer to him and asked, "What did you hear? What did you hear?"
Gu Qingyan looked into her bright eyes, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly. "I heard you say you like me."
"Anything else?" Xu Zhaozhao continued to press.
Gu Qingyan paused for a moment, then said helplessly, "That's all."
"Pfft."
Xu Zhaozhao smiled and said, "Your ears certainly know how to choose what sounds good."
"Um."
Gu Qingyan responded noncommittally, "Remember to use this phrase when you coax me in the future."
It's extremely destructive.
Xu Zhaozhao was taken back to her ward and had lunch with Gu Qingyan. Under the influence of the medication, she felt sleepy again.
Whenever Gu Qingyan is free, he will come to apply medicine to Xu Zhaozhao. If he is not free, he will also inform the nurse in advance.
The point is to prevent Xu Zhaozhao from seeing the wound herself.
She glanced furtively at Gu Qingyan, who was diligently applying medicine to her, and then her gaze slowly moved downwards.
Don't look.
Before she could even see it, Gu Qingyan stopped Xu Zhaozhao's gaze and shoved the cartoon into her hands to watch it.
"Wait until it's fully healed before considering it."
Xu Zhaozhao knew he was afraid she would be sad if she saw the wound.
But Gu Qingyan said there would be no scars, and she believed him.
Xu Zhaozhao only had the urge to peek when Gu Qingyan was applying the medicine to her; she had no such thoughts when the nurse was applying the medicine.
Maybe I just like to act silly in front of people I like.
The stitched wound must look terrible. Xu Zhaozhao loves beauty, and she probably feels extremely anxious every day just looking at the wound.
It was just a thought; Xu Zhaozhao didn't have the courage to look at it.
My days at the hospital were leisurely but monotonous.
Xu Zhaozhao hadn't gone for a walk in the yard for several days. The last time she glanced up and saw Yu Yao, it left a deep impression on her.
It was noon again when Xu Zhaozhao woke up.
She opened the window, and sunlight streamed in. Xu Zhaozhao stretched lazily without any regard for her image.
Gu Qingyan was busy today, so she asked the nurse to bring her lunch.
Xu Zhaozhao even asked the nurse to move the small table to the window so she could eat in the sunlight.
Eating alone can be lonely, so she pestered the nurse to eat with her.
Finally, unable to persuade her otherwise, the nurse took her own work meal and sat down to eat with Xu Zhaozhao.
"It seems Miss Zhao Zhao really enjoys sunbathing."
Hearing what the nurse said, Xu Zhaozhao nodded in agreement.
"The flowers in the flowerbeds in the yard are at their most beautiful at this time of year..."
The nurse's tone was somewhat indignant: "What a pity, they were all pulled up a few days ago, not a single blade of grass was left."
"What's wrong with this guy? You can get psychological counseling on the third floor, why did he attack the flowers in the hospital's backyard! What did we do to him!"
Xu Zhaozhao paused in drinking her soup.
When I bumped into Yu Yao that day, the flowers in the flower bed were still blooming beautifully!
Xu Zhaozhao tentatively asked, "A few days ago... which day was it?"
The nurse recalled, "It was about five days ago. The person was found, and compensation was paid. I heard that he was a little mentally unstable, so the hospital didn't pursue the matter further."
Five days ago was the day she bumped into Yu Yao.
Xu Zhaozhao had a premonition that the one who pulled out all the flowers from the flower bed, leaving not a single blade of grass, was Yu Yao.
She hurriedly lifted the soup bowl and took a few big gulps of soup to calm her nerves.
I have come to a deeper understanding of Song Jinshi's words once again.
Yu Yao... he's got shit for brains!
After hearing the nurse's scary story, Xu Zhaozhao became even more afraid to go sunbathing in the hospital's backyard.
After lying around doing nothing for two more days, it was finally Xu Zhaozhao's turn to be discharged from the hospital.
"You can open your eyes now."
Gu Qingyan's voice fell into Xu Zhaozhao's ears.
But she was still a little scared, and covered her eyes tightly with both hands, not daring to relax.
Gu Qingyan lifted her left waist, "It's okay, there really is no scar."
She can be discharged from the hospital once her left waist wound is checked.
Xu Zhaozhao didn't know why, but she was extremely nervous, and her hands wouldn't obey her, she just kept covering her eyes tightly.
"I... Ah!"
She screamed, lost her balance, and fell directly into Gu Qingyan's arms.
Her hand instinctively moved down from her face and grabbed Gu Qingyan's clothes, her gaze filled with resentment.
"You scoundrel, who gave you permission to pinch the princess's waist!"
Gu Qingyan had just pinched her left waist hard, making her unable to stand, and her face was still red.
She placed her hand on Gu Qingyan's waist and pinched it hard.
An eye for an eye.
Gu Qingyan's eyes didn't change at all. He pressed his arm against her waist, and with his other hand, he held out his phone to her face.
Xu Zhaozhao subconsciously looked up.
Her hospital gown was lifted up, revealing a section of her smooth waist, with no marks on her fair skin.
However… Xu Zhaozhao’s attention was mostly focused on Gu Qingyan’s hand.
His well-defined hands gripped her clothes, his long fingers pressing against her lower back for support.
Unfortunately, he was using his right hand, and the sandalwood-colored prayer beads and the way he lifted his clothes created a sense of taboo.
"See that?"
His voice fell in my ear, "There really are no scars."
