Seeing ng Cheng’an again, Tian Xiang was truly shocked. He looked so haggard, like coming from a refugee camp.
Hasn’t he eaten or slept in the days we’ve been apart?
Seeing how frail and unsteady he was, Tian Xiang quickly let him lie down again.
Tian Xiang supported him, and ng Cheng’an seized the opportunity to grasp her hand and wouldn’t let go.
Tian Xiang: "Director He is still outside."
ng Cheng’an: "He..."
He originally wanted to say he wouldn’t co in, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he started coughing violently.
Tian Xiang wanted to pull her hand back to pour him so water, but ng Cheng’an held her firmly, not letting her go.
"It’s okay, this is fine."
As long as she was there, as long as he could touch her, that was the best dicine.
Tian Xiang looked at the door and saw that it had sohow already been closed by soone. Unable to leave, she sat back down, looked at the half-lying person on the hospital bed, sighed, and said, "Why are you doing this?"
Clearly unable to let go, yet wanting to sever ties, ultimately ending up like this.
ng Cheng’an smiled at her, "I think your second brother is right."
If you truly love her, don’t make her choose.
Indeed, the bruises on his face were given by her second brother.
This beating was harsher than the last; it’s been almost a week, and the bruises under his eyes and on his nose were still there.
Tian Xiang snorted coldly, "If you think my second brother is right, then keep listening to him. I’m leaving."
When Tian Xiang lost her temper, ng Cheng’an hurriedly pulled her back, "Don’t go. Although he’s right, I’m not planning to listen to him."
Tian Xiang turned her head to look at him, her eyes reddened, "Didn’t we agree to overco difficulties together? I’ve told you many tis, starting next year, society will be different; if we just hold on, we can see light at the end of the tunnel. I’ve said so much, and you didn’t listen, did you? My second brother said one sentence, and not only did you believe it, but you acted on it. You trust him so much, why are you holding my hand? Go be with him!"
ng Cheng’an: "..."
What on earth?
ng Cheng’an whispered, "I’m sorry, I know I was wrong, and I’ve already been punished. Look at what I’ve beco now, are you still mad?"
Tian Xiang glanced at his pitiful look, rubbed her eyes, and said, "What’s going on with you now, caught a cold or starving?"
After all, she still cared about him, not wanting to be angry anymore.
ng Cheng’an: "I don’t know either. When I ca to my senses, I was already like this."
In the days when he decided to part from her, he didn’t know what he was doing either, muddling through each day, and when he finally ca to his senses, he was already lying in a hospital bed.
Tian Xiang sighed, seeing him so pitiful, most of her anger faded. She looked around the hospital room and asked him, "How did you get a private hospital room?"
This place was a staff hospital, and private rooms were for the factory leaders’ exclusive use.
ng Cheng’an: "Director Lin arranged it."
Well, Director Lin is considerate of people indeed.
"Have you had breakfast?"
ng Cheng’an: "I drank so porridge." He didn’t have an appetite, but knowing she was coming, he ate.
Tian Xiang: "What did the doctor say?"
ng Cheng’an: "He told to rest well."
Judging by his condition, indeed he had problems from starvation. If he hadn’t been found, he might have starved to death.
Tian Xiang sighed, "Don’t be like this in the future, or I won’t care for you anymore."
ng Cheng’an chuckled, "Okay."
Seriously, he’s beco so thin, his smile isn’t even good-looking anymore.
Tian Xiang glanced at him and was surprised to find that the blackened label on his forehead had disappeared!!!
Having seen too many character labels, in the past half year, Tian Xiang had begun to automatically ignore those words visually.
When she looked at soone and saw only faces instead of labels first, she realized that the characters on people’s foreheads would disappear, only reappearing when she intentionally looked at their heads.
This was great; it didn’t strain her eyes.
So from entering till now, she really hadn’t noticed that his blackened label had vanished.
What was going on?
So strange!
Tian Xiang joyfully held ng Cheng’an’s face, examining his forehead closely, and then kissed it.
Although the "villain" tag was still there, the blackening had disappeared, at least he wouldn’t roast people over coal oil casually anymore. This was a good thing.
Tian Xiang was very happy, but a single forehead kiss wasn’t enough. ng Cheng’an embraced her, and they kissed each other, a long-overdue kiss.
But Tian Xiang didn’t let him kiss for too long, it was a hospital after all, and the door wasn’t locked. If soone ca to visit, they’d be in trouble.
Tian Xiang tidied her hair and sat back down, "By the way, when can you be discharged?"
ng Cheng’an didn’t answer her but looked towards the door in so surprise.
Tian Xiang sensed sothing was wrong, turned her head and looked over, scread and jumped up from the chair.
What, what, what? When did this happen? The door actually opened, and there was soone!!!
She and ng Cheng’an just monts ago...
Were they seen???
Oh God, she was so embarrassed she couldn’t live.
And who was this? Wearing a military uniform, hair gray, full of righteous air, looking like a big leader.
Oh no, oh no, would they be arrested with ng Cheng’an!
No, impossible.
Nowadays, marriage and romance are free; they were in a relationship, being intimate was normal.
Tian Xiang was slightly relieved, just about to ask who the person was, when she heard ng Cheng’an on the bed call out: "Grandpa."
Grandpa?
Tian Xiang’s mouth dropped open, "Is this your grandpa?"
ng Cheng’an nodded.
Tian Xiang: "..."
She would rather the person at the door be a stranger.
Now, in front of an elder, she made a fool of herself.
Tian Xiang’s face turned red, embarrassed.
Mr. ng at the door lifted his head, looking at the ceiling, "I just arrived, I didn’t see anything!"
Tian Xiang: "..." Her face grew even redder.
Mr. ng laughed and ca in front of Tian Xiang, extending his hand, "Nice to et you, I’m ng Shao Yi, ng Cheng’an’s grandfather, sixty-six years old. Beca a scholar at sixteen, joined the XX cause at eighteen, now sixty-six, thanks to the recognition of the people, I’ve returned to my post as a mber of the military X. Comrade, you must be Tian Xiang."
The old man, as if reciting a resu, told Tian Xiang a bunch with a smile.
Oh wow, the girl is really pretty, no wonder the grandson likes her.
Very good, very good; the kid really knows how to pick. A beauty for a handso guy, and the family’s good genes can continue on.
A mber of the military X!
This was a big leader from Beijing!
Tian Xiang finally understood why the factory had a general cleaning; it was to welco this person.
Tian Xiang beca nervous, stood up straight unconsciously, and shook the old man’s hand respectfully, "Hello, Leader. I’m Tian Xiang."
"Oh co on, no need for ’Leader’ this and ’Leader’ that." The old man clicked his tongue, "Call Grandpa."
Tian Xiang: "..."
Seeing the old man’s eagerly expectant look, she reluctantly said, "Grandpa ng."
"Aye..."
