After sending this ssage, there wasn’t an imdiate reply from the other side.
Yuan Yung twisted her hands and waited for a long ti. She thought he might be busy, which happened often, so she didn’t think much about it—
About five or six minutes later, the reply finally ca, "He won’t refuse you."
Yuan Yung was taken aback, "Why? Are you so confident in ?"
Ye Hao: "You’ll know once you try."
Yuan Yung: "No way, what if he just coldly says... I only want to be your good brother, what then?"
Ye Hao: "Don’t you have any sense of what he really thinks?"
Yuan Yung: "I..."
Ye Hao: "Silly."
Then, Yuan Yung started to lie on the bed idly, playing casually with her phone, until she heard the footsteps of Sister-in-law Zhang returning, and she nervously tucked her phone back under the pillow.
It felt just like secretly hiding under the blanket to read novels on the phone before a big exam—
Sister-in-law Zhang walked in, looking puzzled, and said, "I t Mr. Lin outside; he said he’s preparing to leave Hong Kong. Are you... having a disagreent?"
"Uh..." Yuan Yung smiled awkwardly, pulled the quilt over her head, then suddenly rembered sothing and imdiately lifted it, "Sister-in-law Zhang, when can I be discharged?"
Sister-in-law Zhang paused, "I’m not sure either, you’ll probably need to ask the doctor. Don’t worry, when it’s ti for you to be discharged, Mr. Lin will co to pick you up."
"..." Yuan Yung’s cheeks flushed, and she burrowed back under the covers without saying a word.
—
Before Yuan Yung had prepared herself to face Huo Junting, he appeared openly in the evening.
A man who hadn’t rested well for three days and nights, after only three to four hours of shallow sleep, looked energetic and rejuvenated.
Seeing her husband arrive, Sister-in-law Zhang started to report, saying, "The girl was ill and didn’t behave, she kept secretly playing on her phone, as if I was blind. I didn’t have the heart to say it to her face, so, sir, you should talk to her later."
Huo Junting had his hands behind his back, his gaze fixed on the entrance of the ward, saying, "You can go back, Sister-in-law Zhang! I will handle her discharge procedures tomorrow morning."
"That’s really great." Sister-in-law Zhang smiled with relief, "Only stayed for three or four days; it shouldn’t be anything serious. Sir, what happened to the girl? Why did she suddenly have a major hemorrhage?"
Huo Junting furrowed his brows, "No matter, just physically weak. Take good care in the future, and it’ll be fine. I’m going in now, you should leave!"
"Oh, okay—"
Sister-in-law Zhang felt things weren’t that simple, wanted to say sothing but saw the person had already gone inside.
Just as Sister-in-law Zhang had said, the little girl took out her phone to play secretly when no one was watching. But as she got imrsed, she didn’t hear the footsteps, and only realized when her phone was suddenly snatched away.
She looked up to see the man standing there like a pine tree.
"B-big brother..." Yuan Yung stuttered nervously.
Huo Junting deliberately avoided looking into her eyes and casually said, "Lin Zheng has left."
"Mm, I know." Yuan Yung lowered her head.
"Is there anything you want to say to ?"
"N-no..."
"Oh, yes, there is."
Yuan Yung suddenly lifted her head again.
Huo Junting was overwhelmingly excited, with feelings so indescribable they seed to churn within him. He simply watched her, with only a small face, her complexion a bit pale, her lips slightly dry, and her eyes not as bright as before due to weakness.
But still looking so lovable, even more so than before. The more he interacted with her, the more he liked her.
As long as she doesn’t leave him, it’s fine with him if they bicker all their lives.
She kept silent, and the man gradually clenched his hands, "What were you about to say?"
"I..."
