Shen Bin is not a talkative person, no matter how sad Ye Ling was, he didn’t utter a word. At night, Bai Xue and her daughter didn’t return, leaving only Ye Ling and Shen Bin to keep the night watch here. In the middle of the night, Ye He Ping woke up, looking even weaker than on the first day after the surgery, and not spirited. After saying a few words, he went back to sleep. Ye Ling, however, stayed awake after waking up in the middle of the night.
The dim lights in the hospital corridor at night made people drowsy. Ye Ling didn’t dare walk around the room, afraid of disturbing Shen Bin, so she sat on a chair in the corridor. Occasionally, she would stand up to look into the room through the glass on the door. Unknowingly, dawn arrived, and when she stood up to stretch, she saw Xiang Weilai carrying things, walking towards her from the end of the corridor.
"Why are you here so early?" Ye Ling looked at him in astonishnt. She had already told them not to co over these days, yet here he was.
"Last night Ye Qian and your mom went back to the compound. My mom sensed sothing was off and told to co. My mom said if I ca, it might make you feel worse, so she made chicken soup and asked to bring it. Co on, drink it while it’s still hot." Xiang Weilai pulled Ye Ling into the room.
Inside, Shen Bin was already up, sitting by the bed. Hearing the sound, he turned his head to glance at them, saw the two holding hands, but acted as if he hadn’t seen it, turning back to continue talking to the waking Ye He Ping. Ye He Ping, upon seeing his daughter and Xiang Weilai holding hands, was montarily stunned, but didn’t ask much, acting as if nothing had happened.
Xiang Weilai brought chicken soup and bought buns, eating together with them. Shen Bin didn’t stand on ceremony either, ate two buns, and returned to the unit. While Ye Ling was sitting beside eating, Xiang Weilai fetched warm water to wipe Ye He Ping’s face. Xiang Weilai’s actions were so natural, as if he had been doing it for years, which made Ye He Ping’s body stiff until Xiang Weilai finished and went out to pour the water. Only then did Ye He Ping call over his daughter.
"Are you two serious?" Although Ye He Ping thought Xiang Weilai was good, he still considered him a child.
Ye Ling nodded, "Dad, we just confird it the day before yesterday, you won’t bla , right?"
"Silly child." Ye He Ping laughed, "As long as you like him, it’s fine. Just help Shen Bin, but don’t give up halfway, after all, he’s helped us quite a bit."
Thinking about the future son-in-law wiping his face, Ye He Ping had a kind smile on his face, "This kid is good. I used to think he was quite quiet, but he’s quite thoughtful."
Thinking about why his father said Xiang Weilai was thoughtful, Ye Ling couldn’t help but smile as well, "Yes, I felt awkward watching him, but he seems to do it naturally. Sotis when I’m with him, I feel like I’m a child being taken care of by him."
"That’s how it should be when two people are together," Ye He Ping was happy for his daughter when he saw her smiling while ntioning Xiang Weilai, but still reminded her, "You two are still in school, and the school doesn’t allow early relationships. You can’t let others know about this. Wait until you both join the unit and settle down, then the two families can et, and you can settle your affair early on. Once you marry and have your own family, Dad will be at ease."
"Dad, in the future I’ll take care of you in your old age." Ye Ling didn’t want her father to make it sound like farewell instructions, "You need to take good care of yourself. When I have kids, you’ll have to help take care of them. Otherwise, what will I do if I have to stay ho with the kids instead of being in the unit? You wouldn’t want not to go to the unit to take care of the kids, right?"
Seeing his daughter deliberately saying these things to amuse him, Ye He Ping didn’t want to spoil his daughter’s mood either, laughed and said, "Alright, Dad will take good care of himself and help you take care of the kids."
Xiang Weilai, listening outside the door, couldn’t help but smile too, thinking it was a good ti to go in, he then pushed open the door and walked in. When Ye Ling t Xiang Weilai’s gentle gaze, thinking of what she had said earlier, she couldn’t help but blush. Xiang Weilai, being a natural, didn’t show that he had overheard anything at all.
Yesterday, after Ye He Ping had a tough ti, the doctor ca to check in the morning and said to take good care of him. Knowing that he had started passing gas in the middle of the night yesterday, the doctor said he could drink a bit of water at night, but not too much, before leaving. Ye He Ping, in a great mood, called Xiang Weilai over for a chat.
"In the future, you both need to work. What major did you choose in school?" Ye He Ping blad himself for not paying attention to these things before.
Xiang Weilai naturally knew Uncle Ye wanted to understand him, so he talked about how he and Ye Ling studied the sa major, and his plans to join the unit in the future. Ye He Ping saw that although Xiang Weilai was only a year older than his daughter, he showed a maturity beyond his years and was more and more satisfied.
Finally, he thought for a mont, "What do your family think about your future personal matters?"
"My family has always been democratic and free; my parents support my choices." Xiang Weilai was happy inside, but kept a calm deanor.
Ye He Ping was satisfied, "Not bad, keep up the good work. Being so mature now, you’ll have great prospects in the future."
Ye Ling, noticing the timing was right, said, "Dad, you should take a rest too."
Then urged Xiang Weilai, "It’s almost noon, you should go back."
If her father and Xiang Weilai kept talking like this, Ye Ling didn’t know how she would face it. Although she had lived two lifetis, having her father look at her like a son-in-law still made Ye Ling embarrassed.
Xiang Weilai also knew not to be too hasty, and it seed like everything had been discussed, "Alright, I’ll head back then."
Ye Ling quickly responded, "No need to co tomorrow either."
Then worried Xiang Weilai might misunderstand, "Just take these days off to stay with your mom. We’ll have plenty of chances to et at school in the future."
After saying that, she regretted it imdiately.
Ye He Ping, lying in bed, was also laughing.
Xiang Weilai looked at Ye Ling with pampering eyes, "I understand. I was just worried about you and Uncle Ye, which is why I ca over. I’ll listen to you and won’t co tomorrow."
Ye’s father also spoke out, "Lingzi, go see Weilai off."
Ye Ling responded and then saw Xiang Weilai out. As soon as they were in the corridor, Xiang Weilai held Ye Ling’s hand. Ye Ling tried to pull away, but Xiang Weilai didn’t let go. He even chuckled softly, "Your dad has agreed; now you can be at ease, right?"
"Not necessarily, it depends on my mood. If I’m in a bad mood, I might disagree." Ye Ling teased him.
Xiang Weilai chuckled softly, his eyes glowing as he looked at Ye Ling. Ye Ling felt uncomfortable all over under his gaze, so she scolded him, "Alright, just now I was joking. You should go back."
Xiang Weilai smiled gently, "I know, you can’t bear to hurt ."
As he was speaking, he suddenly leaned in, and Ye Ling felt a warmth next to her ear. When she realized Xiang Weilai was whispering next to her ear, she found that he had already walked away.
Thinking of how she had been teased by him again, Ye Ling stomped her foot in frustration before turning around to walk back, not even noticing Bai Xue and Ye Qian witnessing this scene.
