He hugged the thermos flask gloomily with a dejected look in his eyes. He looked like a puppy that had been abandoned by its owner. Song Jiaren looked at him from the outside and found him much more pleasing to the eye this way.
She walked in again and pulled out a stool to sit beside his bed. She took the thermos from his hand and poured the porridge into the bowl. Then, she took out the dishes inside and placed them on the small table in front of him.
"Eat." She handed him a pair of chopsticks.
Song Chuyan watched her actions the entire time. His eyes turned red, but he didn't dare to let her see it. He quickly took the chopsticks and lowered his head to eat.
Song Jiaren looked at him with a dazed gaze. No one knew what she was thinking.
After he finished eating, he put the lunch box back into the thermos. Song Chuyan still had a proud look on his face as he asked, "Why did you come back again?"
Song Jiaren said nonchalantly, "I was afraid someone would faint from all that crying."
Song Chuyan blushed and said, "Who… who cried?"
Song Jiaren suddenly smiled evilly and approached him.
Song Chuyan took a step back until his back was against the wall. He could no longer move back. He gulped nervously and stuttered, "What… what do you want to do?"
Song Jiaren whistled sinisterly. "Do you know what you looked like when I found you?"
Song Chuyan suddenly had a bad premonition.
Song Jiaren continued, "Your face was full of tears. You must have cried all night."
Even Song Chuyan's neck flushed.
Song Jiaren did not continue teasing him. She got up and took the thermos out. Song Chuyan quickly asked, "Where are you going?"
When she saw the obvious nervousness on his face, Song Jiaren's heart softened. After all, he was still a child. She said gently, "I'll give the thermos to the nanny." After a pause, she added, "I'll be back soon."
Only then did Song Chuyan nod his head in relief.
On the way back to the ward, Song Jiaren bumped into Wang Yifan in the corridor. Just as she was about to greet him, Wang Yifan was bumped.
He could not see and had been walking while holding onto the wall. In order not to create trouble for others, he tried his best to walk along the wall. However, a burly man deliberately bumped into him and said fiercely, "You blind man, how dare you bump into me?"
Wang Yifan was knocked to the ground. He quickly apologized over and over again, but the big man grabbed his collar and said, "You bumped into me. I'm very unhappy. What should I do?"
Wang Yifan was lifted up by him. The scrawny and weak Wang Yifan was a stark contrast to the burly man. His face was filled with fear, but he still said calmly, "Sir, I'm really sorry. How would you like me to apologize?"
The burly man laughed and said, "I stepped on dog shit when I went out today. This makes me very unhappy. As long as you help me lick my shoes clean, I will let you off. How about that?"
The people around them could tell that this man was deliberately looking for trouble. They looked at the young man with sympathy, but no one dared to help.
Wang Yifan's face flushed when he heard this request. "You're humiliating me on purpose."
The burly man said disdainfully, "So what if I'm humiliating you? I also dare to hit you!"
When Wang Yifan heard the sound of something traveling through the air, he tried his best to shrink his neck. He closed his eyes, but there was no pain. Instead, there was a familiar and warm feeling.
"How can you be thick-skinned enough to reveal something like stepping on dog shit? I wonder if it's because you've done too many bad things that you stepped on dog shit."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yifan called out in surprise, "Jiaren!"
Song Jiaren held the man's wrist with one hand and shielded Wang Yifan with the other while pulling him behind her to protect him.
Wang Yifan leaned against her back and carefully leaned against her. Feeling her warmth, he smiled contentedly.
Seeing that a woman actually dared to stop him, the burly man instantly said angrily, "I don't have the habit of not hitting women." After saying that, he swung his fist towards her head.
The people around her cried out in shock and not daring to watch, they closed their eyes.
In the next second, a scream was heard. But why didn't it sound right?
