Chapter 127 He is scared
Liu Shiya's gaze remained fixed on Lü Haotian's face. His handsome face, hidden behind the gauze, was the same man who used to greet people with a smile, but he had disappeared that night.
She looked at him, and he hadn't changed at all, just like before. She was simply captivated by this gentle boy; he had always been the most beautiful scenery in her heart.
Lu Haotian slowly opened his eyes, his gaze meeting Liu Shiya's. Their eyes met, and it was as if everything had stopped.
"Drink of water."
Liu Shiya broke the silence by rocking the hospital bed and feeding him a glass of water. Lu Haotian was stunned, then reached out and took it.
Lu Haotian's gaze softened, but there was a distance between them.
"Thank you for your trouble. You should go back and rest early." His voice was a little hoarse and lacked emotion.
Liu Shiya swallowed hard, seemingly having made a great decision, clutching the hem of her clothes as she stared at Lü Haotian.
"Did you start dating Xiao Yi after we got together?"
Lu Haotian avoided her gaze, squinted, and looked out the window, as if tracing familiar outlines through the morning light.
A hint of disappointment flickered in Liu Shiya's eyes. "I just want an answer: what am I to you?"
Lü Haotian let out a soft breath, "Is it that important?"
"Yes."
Lu Haotian withdrew his gaze, his eyes turning cold and ruthless as he stared at Liu Shiya's face. This feeling caused Liu Shiya pain in her heart, making it difficult for her to even breathe.
"I've always loved her; you're just something I use to cover up all of that."
"Then why me?"
Liu Shiya's shoulders trembled, and her voice trembled as she clenched her fists.
"Because you were wearing the same black sweater as her that day."
Every word Lü Haotian uttered was frantically stimulating Liu Shiya's nerves.
"That's why you risked your life to stand in front of her today."
Liu Shiya looked at the person in front of her with pain. In the past four years, her feelings had become so ridiculous.
"Yes." A single word, resolute and powerful.
Liu Shiya suddenly stood up, her tightly clenched hands loosened, and she stopped when she reached out her right hand to touch him, tears streaming uncontrollably from her eyes.
"I really should slap you, but I can't bring myself to do it. I always see those young girls so reluctant to part, but it turns out it's just as difficult for me. How can you know the pain if you're not the one who's hurting?"
Lu Haotian didn't flinch at all, showing no surprise at any of the words she said. The seemingly gentlest person was actually the most ruthless.
"Goodbye."
After so many years of relationship, she couldn't bring herself to say anything harsh. With just two simple words, she said goodbye to the past. She needed to let go, to find peace. Her relationship with him was nothing more than a pitiful unrequited love. She wiped away her tears, put her hair up, straightened her clothes, and left the hospital room with an air of pride.
Jiang Yi suddenly woke up with a start, and Chi Ruiche's hand, which was holding hers, trembled as he asked, "Yi Yi?"
"Che, what's wrong with me?"
Jiang Yi recalled the strong smell of disinfectant, and realized she had been hospitalized again. She would definitely find time to pray for good luck, as she was currently in a period of bad luck.
"I have low blood sugar because I didn't eat on time."
Chi Ruiche tenderly poked her face with his finger. When he received the call, he rushed out of the private room, urging Lin Kai to hurry up. When he arrived at the scene, her swaying body made his heart clench again. This feeling was like a sharp blade piercing his heart, suffocating and powerless.
Jiang Yi beckoned, and Chi Ruiche bent down to cooperate. Jiang Yi wrapped one arm around his neck, rubbed her cheek against his face, and said in a slightly coquettish tone, "I'm sorry to have worried you, I'm fine now."
Chi Ruiche hugged her tightly, the veins on his arms bulging. He suppressed his emotions and gently stroked her back, but an unspeakable pain gnawed at his heart. He was afraid; he was afraid of losing her.
"I want to eat Aunt Wang's cooking."
Jiang Yin could sense his unease; the heartache and helplessness in his eyes were impossible to hide.
"Yi-yi, I..."
Sunlight streamed through the windows, warmly enveloping the couple.
"Let's go home. We're going to have morning tea with Grandpa today." Jiang Yi wasn't sure what time it was.
"Don't worry, I called Grandpa, and he'll have someone with him today."
Chi Ruiche had already made arrangements, and Jiang Yi would inevitably encounter an accident during this period.
Upon receiving the news, Jiang Yang rushed to the hospital. Knowing that Jiang Yi was alright, he came to check on Lü Haotian. However, he overheard everything outside the ward. When Liu Shiya opened the door and met Jiang Yang's incredulous expression, she simply nodded and left.
"Dr. Lin, are you off work?"
The sound of high heels echoed down the corridor as a nurse pushed a medical cart and greeted the doctor.
"Well, let's go."
Lin Xi wore her long hair loose and her makeup was exquisite. Her tight-fitting dress paired with an oversized trench coat made her look capable and elegant.
When Jiang Yang heard the sound again, he turned around almost without hesitation, and the face of the girl walking towards him gradually magnified in his mind.
Unable to contain his emotions, Jiang Yang quickly stepped forward to stop Lin Xi, standing in front of her with a serious and tense expression.
"Long time no see, Lin Xi."
