Zheng Qiu was so angry that she threw a tantrum outside. After a long time, she returned to the hospital. When she pushed the door open, she saw Lu Yichen staring at the hospital bed in a daze, not moving at all.
The person lying on the bed was pale, haggard, and thin, as if a gust of wind could blow her away.
She lay quietly on the bed, breathing evenly. Even so, it was not difficult to see that she was a beautiful and quiet girl.
She just lay there quietly, not moving at all. As Zheng Qiu looked at her, her eyes actually became moist.
Her voice was slightly hoarse as she said, "She, hasn't woken up yet?"
Lu Yichen glanced at her indifferently and said, "No."
Then, his nose twitched and he frowned. He looked over with a pair of sharp eyes and said, "You've looked for her?"
Zheng Qiu looked at Lu Yichen in surprise when she heard that. Then, she pretended not to understand and said, "Look for who? What are you talking about?"
Lu Yichen said coldly, "Look for who? You know very well in your heart."
"Zheng Qiu, you actually came over. Just stay where you are and don't cause any more trouble. Otherwise--"
Zheng Qiu's anger flared up when she heard that. She glared at Lu Yichen angrily and said, "Do you really care about her that much? Do you really care about her that much? Lu Yichen, what about your heart?"
"Look at Mei Zi, who was lying on the hospital bed with half of her life taken away. Look at her--"
"You said you were going to marry her just like that. Have you ever thought about Mei Zi? Have you ever thought about her? How has she treated you all these years? Her biggest wish since she was young was to marry you when she grew up. But what about you?"
"Let me tell you, Mei Zi's fate today is all your fault. It's all your fault--"
After saying that, Zheng Qiu turned and ran. The door was slammed with a loud bang.
Lu Yichen's face turned even more livid. However, before he could get up, the person on the bed moved her hand.
Lu Yichen immediately looked over and gently held her hand. His voice also became gentle as he said, "Mei Zi, you... you're awake?"
However, before he could say anything, the person on the bed instantly shed tears. Lu Yichen was stunned when he saw this. Then, he quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears.
After the tears were wiped dry, the person on the bed's eyelashes fluttered, and she slowly opened her eyes. The person who looked like a piece of paper instantly had a soul.
A very difficult smile appeared on her pale face. Her lips were so pale, and her voice seemed to drift away as if it had no weight.
"Brother Chen--"
"Is, is that you?"
It was just one sentence, but the tears in her eyes did not stop. The tears dampened her vision. At this moment, she was so fragile that it seemed as if she would leave at any moment.
Lu Yichen held her pale and thin, cold and powerless hand and nodded. "Yes, it's me."
The moment he said that, the person on the bed cried even more fiercely. Her tears were like they did not cost anything. They kept falling down, choking her so much that she could not say a single word.
Her eyes were filled with sorrow, and her entire person was filled with endless sorrow. Her voice was like a cloud of smoke, lingering yet possibly dissipating just like that.
"Brother -- brother -- Chen -- can -- see -- you. It's really -- good --"
Her lips were pale and dry. Every sentence she uttered was so difficult, but her words touched Lu Yichen's heart. He held the person on the bed even more tightly.
His heart was also very heavy. His eyes were filled with tenderness and complexity. "Don't speak. The doctor said that you need to recuperate."
After saying this, he frowned and said, "I already know about your matter. You can live in peace. Leave everything to me."
The person on the bed smiled miserably. Then, large amounts of tears flowed out. Her voice became a little stronger. "Brother Chen, I'm sorry. I've... troubled you."
Lu Yichen patted her hand and said, "It's okay. You can relax."
However, Lu Yichen's words did not make the person in bed feel relieved. The person in bed cried even more fiercely. She looked at Lu Yichen with eyes filled with longing.
That kind of sadness seemed to be able to infect the world. Lu Yichen's heart, which was like a lump of steel, had to be softened by her tone.
His hand gently stroked her hair. His voice was gentle and infectious as he said, "Mei Zi, everything will be fine."
"It's my fault. I didn't make it in time--"
Before he could finish, the person on the bed smiled gently. She used some strength to cover Lu Yichen's big hand. Then, she looked at Lu Yichen with a gentle face and said, "No, I've never blamed you--"
Lu Yichen's heart ached. He frowned and said, "Mei Zi..."
Before he could finish his sentence, the person on the bed smiled miserably and said, "Brother Chen, can you... can you hug me... hug me..."
"Just... just for a moment, okay?"
"I'm... I'm cold..."
Lu Yichen's eyes were filled with pity. He tidied up the blanket for her, then reached out his hand and bent down to give her a gentle hug.
The person on the bed, on the other hand, had tears streaming down her cheeks.
She had waited for this day for too long. She had not expected that a hug would be given to her in such a pathetic state.
The wedding that she had dreamed of, everything that she had dreamed of was like a bubble that was constantly dissipating
Finally, she slowly closed her eyes. She felt the warmth that Lu Yichen brought to her with all her heart. Perhaps, in this lifetime, she would never have the chance to--
At this moment... Bang!
With a bang, the door was kicked open.
Mei Zi, who was lying on the bed, was so frightened that her body trembled. She curled up like a frightened bird.
Lu Yichen's body stiffened. He slowly stood up and looked over. Then, his eyes narrowed.
He asked in astonishment, "Why are you here?"
At this moment, Kang Xiaoqiao, who was at the door, had a cold and stern expression. Her entire body was trembling. Her hands were trembling the most. Her eyes were staring straight at Lu Yichen's hand that was holding the girl on the bed.
After a long while, the corner of her mouth curled upwards. Her voice seemed to be able to freeze people to death as she said, "What? I shouldn't have come?"
"Or did I come at a bad time?"
Lu Yichen was also very nervous at the moment. He looked straight at Kang Xiaoqiao with a slightly anxious and panicked expression. He did not expect Kang Xiaoqiao to suddenly appear at this time.
Although he had a clear conscience, he still felt a little guilty. Moreover, his heart was beating faster than usual.
Lu Yichen quickly adjusted himself. Then, he frowned and said, "That's not what I meant."
Kang Xiaoqiao raised her chin and said disdainfully, "Then what do you mean?"
After saying this, she turned to look at the girl who was about to faint on the bed. Her eyes were cold, but who knew that her heart was like a knife?
At this moment, she was only pretending to be calm. The moment she saw Lu Yichen hugging the person on the bed so gently, she instinctively wanted to escape. She wanted to escape and run far away.
However, for some unknown reason, she did not know what was wrong with her. She actually kicked the door open.
