"I... I'm just a third wheel between you two."
After deliberating over it for a long time, Ji Younai spoke up and called herself the third party.
With reddened eyes, Wen Yu looked at Ji Younai, who was alive and well, in disbelief.
'The doctor clearly said that she wouldn't live! Why is she standing there like a healthy person?'
Anger brewed within her, but she kept it hidden at the bottom of her heart, not daring to show a single bit of it.
Pretending to be weak and fragile, Wen Yu supported herself against the wall in a sickly and frail manner. Gazing at Gong Siyu miserably in a bid to catch his attention, she complained while sobbing, "Brother Siyu, I'm not feeling well... Can you carry me to the doctor?"
As if he did not hear Wen Yu, Gong Siyu ignored her, all of his attention taken away by Ji Younai.
His eyes were full of anxiety and nervousness. He desperately wanted to give her an explanation.
"Little one, you..."
He reached out in a bid to grab Ji Younai's wrist, only to miss it.
"Don't call my name, I don't want to speak to you… Ever again."
Ji Younai turned around and gazed at Gong Siyu indifferently.
The distant gaze in her eyes immediately made Gong Siyu feel disappointed.
Still barefoot and wearing a hospital gown, Ji Younai walked up to Wen Yu, squatted down obediently, and tossed the tissue paper that had been holding tightly in her hand.
She spoke meekly, "Ms. Wen, stop crying. No one's snatching Gong Siyu away from you. He's yours, all yours. I don't want him. I'll leave."
After saying that, Ji Younai frowned and slipped deep into thought. She felt that what she said was somewhat inappropriate.
She felt that she was being extremely pretentious.
Hence, she stood up again and added another sentence.
"No, I don't have to go. It's you two who should leave! Keep an eye on your own man! You're crying and throwing a tantrum, yet you're putting the blame on me. What kind of a hero does that!?!"
She suddenly felt that she had used the word 'hero' inappropriately.
After being conflicted for a while, she took a deep breath and changed her mind once again.
"Forget it. Whatever you two are, just get lost, okay? You are such an eyesore and I'm really annoyed by your presence. Can you just wear a mourning gown and leave? Scram and roll away like a ball."
Ji Younai discovered that she couldn't make herself seem fierce and intimidating at all.
She had no choice but to run back into the ward and slam the door shut with a loud thud.
'Speaking of which, why am I in the hospital? Shouldn't I be in the sycamore forest?'
-
Ji Younai had really regained consciousness.
Gong Siyu was delighted, but at the same time, he was also perturbed and flustered.
'Little one is clearly infuriated with me. She must have gotten the wrong idea about me and Wen Yu.'
However, Gong Siyu felt that his infatuation with Ji Younai had grown even more intense.
'Why is that little one so gentle and adorable even when she is being fierce?'
'What do I do?'
He really wanted to rush in and hug her, pulling her tightly into his arms.
Gong Siyu found himself to be really ridiculous and outrageous.
He did not feel the slightest bit of anger at all.
He twisted the door handle, wanting to enter the ward to take a look at Ji Younai.
However, he discovered that she had locked it from the inside.
He kicked the door of the ward open with brute force!
He heard a shriek of terror in the ward.
Gong Siyu turned around and instructed Bai Feiran, "Send Wen Yu back to Gong Si Yi. Tell him to take good care of her and warn him not to let his woman wander around!"
"Brother Siyu, I'm not going back! I want to go back to your home!"
Seeing that Gong Siyu was determined to send her back to Gong Siyi's place again, Wen Yu refused to comply, instead deciding to make a scene.
"Wen Yu, I used to allow you to throw tantrums and behave like a tyrant. That is impossible now."
In the past, he did not have a woman and he was extremely vicious and picky. He didn't like the vain women with heavy makeup who liked pestering him, so he let Wen Yu do whatever she wanted and deal with those women for him.
However, he now had Ji Younai, who was in the ward.
Gong Siyu clearly knew that given Wen Yu's temper, she would never let the matter go just like that.
He wouldn't be surprised if she tried to harm Ji Younai again.
He had to protect Ji Younai. He could not allow Wen Yu to pull scheming tricks to chase Ji Younai away again!
Bai Feiran dragged Wen Yu away mercilessly.
He was also shocked that someone whom the doctors said had no hopes of living had come back to life.
Right from the beginning, Bai Feiran had been on guard against Ji Younai, simply out of loyalty to Gong Siyu.
He felt that there was some kind of supernatural bizarreness involved with Ji Younai.
The dead would never come back to life.
How could someone whom the doctors said would die suddenly regain consciousness, like nothing had happened at all?
-
Gong Siyu damaged the door of the ward after kicking it brutally.
There was a terrifying yet handsome smile on his charming face as he slowly stepped in.
Ji Younai was lowering her head, looking at the broken door with a frightened expression.
Crouched on the hospital bed and wrapped in the blanket, her eyes were full of vigilance.
"Ji Younai, you've become really brazen. How dare you tell me to get lost?"
Ji Younai really wanted to cry after seeing Gong Siyu again.
She wanted to tell the man in front of her that she had been mistreated.
She wanted to tell him that her soul had been taken to a terrible place by two strange people.
There, she was beaten by a vicious "bad guy" wearing a hideous ghost mask, all because she was a crybaby.
The "bad guy" would also force her to kill people and tried to force her to become some kind of Yin-Yang Officer.
If she couldn't do it, she would die and turn into ashes.
Even her parents would suffer because of her. They would be punished by being made to do hard labor, then be reincarnated as pigs and dogs.
However, the extreme fear and hopelessness within her turned into sadness and sorrow when she saw Wen Yu hugging Gong Siyu tightly and pitifully…
She had no choice but to swallow her tears and bear with the misery.
She didn't want to say all of it anymore.
She did not want to come in between Gong Siyu and Wen Yu.
"Gong Siyu, leave..."
Gong Siyu wasn't angry either. He pretended like he hadn't heard her.
Instead, he sat down on the edge of the bed, suddenly and forcefully pulling the blanket away from Ji Younai. He then effortlessly pulled Ji Younai onto his lap, and despite her resistance, held her head down and pressed it against his chest.
"Wen Yu is not my girlfriend, and I don't like her either."
Ji Younai was indifferent, remaining unmoved. She stopped resisting and stayed in Gong Siyu's embrace.
Hearing his words, she simply shook her head with a deadpan expression.
She said softly, "No, no. You're lying. She told me that she is your girlfriend and that you two are very close to each other. When you were children, your family even said that they wanted her to marry you. You pamper her, spoil her, and adore her very much. Gong Siyu, you lied to me, I don't trust you anymore."
Hearing Ji Younai's words, Gong Siyu's gaze turned menacing and his smile vanished.
He did not expect Wen Yu to have said so much behind his back!
Just as he was about to retort, he heard Ji Younai say feebly in his arms, "Forget it. Actually, now that I think about it, it's not that big of a deal. It's between you and her. I'm just an outsider, and I don't want to come in between you two. I won't vie with Wen Yu for you."
Gong Siyu was enraged.
Ji Younai looked distant and indifferent as if the matter had nothing to do with her.
It made him feel flustered and upset.
However, Ji Younai went on, closing her almond-shaped eyes and fluttering her eyelashes before bursting into tears softly.
"You already have Wen Yu, so why did you come into my life? Why did you say that you fancied me? Why did you make me stay by your side? I'm not fun, Gong Siyu. Please let me go. I'm not like you guys, I don't know when I'm going to die. Don't mess with me, okay?"
