C288

The afternoon sun was bright.

On the hospital lawn, there were patients in wheelchairs, children in hospital overalls running about, sad and desperate, happy and sad.

They stood in the shade.

Ji An'an gazed at the nearby crowd and sighed emotionally in her heart.

"I've read a sentence in the book to the effect that if you find yourself in trouble, you can go to the hospital to have a look. You'll find that you have a lot of things now."

Xie Langxuan gave her a bottle of water, "Yes, most people don't treasure it when they own it. Only when they lose it will they regret it."

He turned his head to look at the girl beside him. His gaze contained a hint of emotion that was different from usual. "That's why I kept saying to myself that I understand what I want. If there's a chance, I'll give it my best shot."

Ji An'an was completely unaware of his words. She could not help but nod as she looked at the sickly people in the distance.

She was someone who had gone through hell twice, so she understood the meaning of living in the present.

"Even at such a high altitude, you still have such clear thoughts. Truly amazing." She praised him sincerely.

Hearing this, Xie Langxuan laughed.

The laughter was pleasant to hear and contained a hint of helplessness.

Ji An'an turned to look at him.

Xie Langxuan smiled.

The voice was low, like a chocolate wine heart. The strong alcohol also had an intoxicating aroma to it.

"An An, don't keep putting me in such a high position. I also rely on my hands to eat and I need to wash my face and sleep. I only have a bit more money than an ordinary person. There's actually no difference, I also like people, get married, and raise children."

When he said the last few sentences, his eyes fell on her body, and his voice unconsciously became gentler.

Ji An'an giggled, her tone carrying a bit of teasing, "I know, I just feel that a self-disciplined gentleman like you and your sense of humor are too rare in life, that's why I can't help but add a halo to your demeanor, who asked you to be so outstanding!"

When Xie Langxuan heard this, he sighed and said, "But what's the use of not being able to catch up with a girl even though I'm so outstanding?"

Ji An'an did not expect him to say such words, and it looked as if he had been stabbed in the heart. For a moment, she did not know how to reply, because she had never seen him so unconfident.

A 'puchi' sound of laughter was heard.

Ji An'an looked over in a daze. She saw Xie Langxuan pressing his fist to his lips with a smile in his eyes.

"I was just teasing you. I didn't expect you to really believe me. You're still too naive."

Ji An'an was speechless, but she didn't expect him to have such a childish side.

She remembered her business.

"Oh, right. Didn't you just say that you wanted to tell me a story?"

The smile on Xie Langxuan's face faded as he lowered his hand. His eyelids drooped slightly as he avoided her sparkling eyes.

From the moment he entered the hospital until now, he had been choosing easy topics to chat about. He only wanted to give himself and her some time to talk.

He was afraid that his misspoken words would frighten her.

But now it had finally come.

"Remember what I told you about meeting a girl here?"

Ji An'an nodded and asked curiously, "I remember. So, are you going to tell me about that white-robed angel?"

The corner of her mouth raised into a smile. This time, Xie Langxuan finally corrected her and didn't let her misunderstand.

"That girl is not a nurse, she's the family member that accompanied people to recuperate in the hospital."

Ji An'an exclaimed.

Xie Langxuan's lips curved into a smile as he led Ji An'an forward.

"Before the car accident, I was very serious. My parents loved me and my father was a good man. They had always been my backing. I didn't expect that I would receive that fatal phone call right after I had just arranged for someone to play basketball with me."

"I've booked a plane ticket, rushed to the airport, and found this hospital. For the past ten hours, I haven't thought of anything. I just want to rush to their side."

Recalling the past, even though many years had passed, the loss of one's loved ones was still an indelible pain.

"But--after all, I didn't see my father for the last time."

His voice was hoarse and filled with grief, causing Ji An'an's heart to clench as she hastily comforted him.

"It's all in the past now. I believe uncle will be very pleased to see that you've achieved great things in your career. If this story makes you feel bad, then I won't listen."

Xie Langxuan calmed down, and turned around to comfort her with a smile, "It's alright, just like you said, it's all over. I brought you here just to share with you the secret that I've buried deep in my heart all those years ago. Or more accurately, it's a secret that I've never told anyone else."

Ji An'an felt a great sense of trust and responsibility. She couldn't help but straighten her face. "Fine. Tell me, I'm willing to be your tree hole."

Xie Langxuan glanced at her and replied, "Ok."

"At that time, my mother was still rescuing me, and the hospital told me to prepare for the worst. At that time, I thought that the world had turned completely dark, and I stood there like a zombie. Again and again, I went through the notifications of critical illness."

They walked along the hospital corridor until they came to a windowsill and stopped.

This was the window of the second floor, from which one could see the large lawn where the two had been standing.

Xie Langxuan put his hands on the window frame and looked at the green lawn. He smiled.

"It's here that I saw a girl, about 16 or 17 years old, with a high ponytail. When she smiled, it looked like she was emitting light."

"You might think it's funny, but he's just a stranger. How could he let me muster up the courage to face the desperate situation in front of me?"

Ji An'an was about to shake her head in denial when she saw him smile at her and continue.

"Because at that time, I felt as if the whole world had collapsed. I couldn't see the road in front of me, as if there was no hope. I stood by the window of the ICU and watched my loved ones being tormented, unable to do anything."

"I was like a drowning person, powerless to struggle. In the blink of an eye, I was about to sink, but at that moment, she appeared. Her angelic smile, warm and bright, brought me out of my desperate straits."

Xie Langxuan paused, then squinted his eyes and smiled at her, "Don't you think it's a bit mystical?"

Ji An'an listened seriously and shook her head. Then, she tilted her head as she started gossiping, "What I'm curious about is, isn't she good-looking?"

Xie Langxuan was stunned for a moment. Perhaps he didn't expect her to have such jumping thoughts. He said seriously, "It's pretty good, but I was attracted by her smile in the beginning."

Ji An'an's eyes lit up as she came to a conclusion. "Have you fallen for that girl?"

Xie Langxuan was once again shocked by the jump in her thoughts. He coughed lightly as his gaze drifted away.

"I didn't think of that at first, but then I realized that I liked her."

The people in front of him turned their faces to the side. Ji An'an didn't miss his ears, which were slightly flushed.

He thought that the other party would be mature and steady. He didn't expect that the other party would also have a shy side to him.

Her eyes lit up as she gossiped, "I'm very curious about how someone like you could be tempted by something!" What kind of person is that girl!? "

Don't be curious, because that girl is you.

However, Xie Langxuan didn't say these words as he was worried that she would be too rude.

His expression was gentle as he lost himself in his memories.

"She talks softly, and when she's happy, she walks very lightly. She's very polite to others and gets along well with her sick friends. Sometimes, when there's no one watching her, she would go and help out."

Ji An'an nodded slightly. "After hearing what you said, even I like her a little. She's very kind and gentle."

Xie Langxuan nodded and stood quietly for a while. Then, he took a deep breath and leaned to the side. His gaze fell on her as he spoke slowly.

He said the following.

"She was staying with a boy in the hospital. Every morning when I stood here, I could see her pushing a wheelchair and bringing the boy to a stop in the shade of a tree. Then the boy would play PSP and she would sit on a stone chair and read or paint."

"I heard once that the boy couldn't bear to stay in the hospital and wanted to leave the hospital, and the girl patiently advised him. You know how much I envied the boy then, with an angel by his side."

Ji An'an had been listening attentively a moment ago, but as she listened, she felt a faint sense of familiarity. Gradually, the expression on her face froze.

Xie Langxuan's gaze was fixed on her face. He couldn't hide any of her subtle changes from him.

He knew she had guessed who the girl was.

Xie Langxuan lowered his eyes. When he raised his head again, he didn't dare to look at her and instead went outside the window.

"Later on, when my mother was out of danger, I felt relieved and had a strong desire to meet that girl and thank her. Even if I had to be friends, it would be fine to just nod and make friends with her."

He sighed. "But I was worried that she would think I was someone with bad intentions, so I kept looking for the right opportunity, and when I found out that she often went back to eat in an alley near the hospital, I followed her. She never found out.

At this point, he looked at her again and asked in a low voice, "An An, you guessed it right?"

At this moment, Ji An'an gripped the hem of her clothes tightly and raised her head. Her eyes were filled with disbelief.

"So you're talking about the wonton shop that I took you to last time?"

He nodded.

Ji An'an's brain exploded.

She was supposed to be his listener today as an outsider.

However, he didn't expect her to be the culprit.

If it was a story that had nothing to do with her, she would feel happy and regretful.

However —

So, she was the girl from back then, the girl he had personally admitted to liking.

How could this be?

Xie Langxuan looked very calm on the surface, but he wasn't confident at all. Looking at her flustered and shocked expression, his heart was like duckweed, blown back and forth by the wind.

But he knew that today was a critical turning point.

He could only advance forward and not retreat.

"An'an."

he whispered.

Ji An'an couldn't help but suppress her emotions and looked at him calmly.

With his back to the window and her height, he bent slightly toward her, the lines of his face softened by the halo.

She met his eyes in a flash, like a clear spring, shining.

"Let's get to know each other again. I'm Xie Langxuan, the Chen Family of Wu Yi Lane, Mei Yulang, and the Che Ma Xuan."

He stretched out his hand. His hand, which was as long and slender as beautiful jade, seemed to be wrapped in a halo of light and was suffused with white light.

This was what he had said every time he introduced himself when he was young. Most of the second graders liked these kinds of words.

After joining the Xie Clan, there was no need for him to introduce himself in such a manner. With just a few simple words, he already represented his identity.

However, he still wanted to return to his old self after being eight years late in meeting.

Ji An'an looked at his hand and stubbornly stopped in midair, as if she would have persisted if she had not held back.

Her fingers clenched and opened, and finally she slowly extended her hand.

"It's an honor to meet you. My name is Ji An'an."

His hands were sharp and her hands were soft and white.

One firm and one soft.

But his hands relaxed when they touched it.

The atmosphere immediately became quiet.

Actually, a place like a hospital would never lack people.

However, they felt as if they were separated from each other. Embarrassment and helplessness filled this small space.

Xie Langxuan sighed in his heart as he saw her being so reserved.

"An An, am I scaring you?"

Ji An'an immediately shook her head. "No, no."

"You don't have to be nervous. Actually, I'm the one who should be."

"Hmm?"

"After all, the one who confessed was me. As the girl who was pursued, you have the right to decide."

Although he was smiling, there was a hint of nervousness in his tone.

He really was like a prisoner awaiting trial, acquitted and shot dead.

And the girl in front of him was his judge.

"This is too … too sudden. I feel that someone as outstanding as you might …"

Ji An'an was just thinking about how to change the topic and jump out of the awkward atmosphere. However, she didn't expect him to put something that she didn't want to face right in front of her.

So nervous that she blurted it out.

But before she could finish, she was stopped by the other party.

"An An, don't answer me so quickly. I hope you can give me time to prove my sincerity."

He looked down at her and smiled. "Eight years of yearning. I don't mind waiting a little longer."

Ji An'an looked at him blankly.

Although it was inappropriate, Xie Langxuan felt that she was too cute with her silly look.

"I hope you'll give me a chance to get to know each other."

He looked into her eyes seriously and solemnly, enunciating each word clearly.

Ji An'an was dazed as she looked at his eyes that were as gentle as water.

On the other side.

Teng Yiyang sent his son to the old house and drove out.

Feng Qingyi's voice came through the Bluetooth earpiece.

"Yiyang, you're the only one left. Where are you?"

"Ten minutes."

"He's not in a good mood?" Didn't I make an appointment with you before? Why are you willing to come here today? Don't be abandoned by An An. There's nowhere to go, right? "Hahahaha …"

Feng Qingyi joked as he added fuel to the fire, but he didn't expect it to be a bad one.

"Shut up." Teng Yiyang reprimanded him coldly.

Feng Qingyi was stunned, his jinx's words really hit the mark?

What should he do? He had to hurry up and say some good words, or else he would be drunk again.

Teng Yiyang was very upset and accidentally glanced at the cars that flashed by the side of the road.

He squinted into the rearview mirror, where the license plate number was familiar.

"Don't wait for me, I'm not going."

He took off his headphones and threw them in the drawer. Then he turned the wheel at the next intersection, stepped on the gas, and followed.

"Ai ai ai —

Feng Qingyi didn't even have time to speak before he was left with a busy signal.

What's the matter?

Just because he said so, Yiyang became angry out of embarrassment?

There's no need to be so stingy, right?

Bai Jiangliu saw him leave, so he came over and pointed at his phone, "How is it? "Where is he?"

Feng Qingyi threw up his hands, "I'm not coming. As for the reason, I don't know. It might be because of me, but it's very abnormal."

"What can you do to anger him? "He probably has a conflict with An An. It's not like Yiyang has only been here for a day or two. Forget it, since he hasn't come back yet, we might as well get together." Bai Jiangliu patted his shoulder.

"That's the only way."

The car stopped in front of the district's entrance.

Xie Langxuan got out of the car and went around the front of the car to open the door for Ji An'an.

Ji An'an smiled at him, then got out of the car and stood aside.

"Thank you for bringing me back." she said, embarrassed and polite.

Xie Langxuan looked at her restrained look and sighed in his heart.

He turned around and took a bouquet of roses from the back seat, surrounded by lovers' grass.

"I don't have any other intentions, I just want to thank you for pulling me out of the whirlpool. I hope you won't reject me."

Ji An'an didn't say anything else, so she could only accept it.

"The flowers are beautiful, thank you."

He smiled faintly. "Flowers match beauties, they complement each other."

Ji An'an pursed her lips, finally finding the courage to speak the words she had thought of along the way.

"Langxuan."

"Hmm?"

"Have you ever thought that you were just missing a person to pull you out? But whoever that person is, it can be me, or it can be someone else. You …"

"An'an."

Xie Langxuan interrupted her with a smile, "Perhaps you're right, I needed someone to pull me back at that time. No matter who this person is, I know very well that person is you, and this is a kind of miraculous fate. Moreover, it's not just anyone, I would always have a liking to them because this person is you.

I did not disturb you. Eight years later, we met again and I recognized you, but before knowing that you had divorced, I also hid my feelings in fear of causing trouble for you because of my feelings for you.

"I had thought that the young man back then could bring you happiness. But now, I regret. Your happiness should be protected by me. I wouldn't have made you sad for so many years."

"An An, don't reject me, don't deny me, and don't stay away from me. I'll give you a chance."

Until Xie Langxuan's car left, Ji An'an was still standing where she was, staring blankly at the road.

Aren't we supposed to eat and listen to a story?

How did it become like this?

She must be dreaming!

But at this moment, a cold and fierce voice sounded out.

"He already left, why are you so reluctant? Should I call him and have him come back? "

Ji An'an came back to her senses. She subconsciously turned to the side and saw the person standing in front of the car.

With a black robe and a black face, he walked step by step towards her as if he had come from hell, carrying with him a baleful aura.

The approaching pressure forced her to retreat.

She frowned at his words. "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Teng Yiyang stopped half a step away from her. He leaned down and said with a smile that was not a smile, "Nonsense? We'll eat together, we'll come back together, we'll talk and laugh together, oh, and I even gave you a bunch of flowers, if this isn't a date, then what is? "

His entire body was emitting cold air, and he seemed to be very unreasonable.

Ji An'an was smart enough not to argue with him at this time, and she turned to leave.

When Teng Yiyang saw that she ignored him, he couldn't suppress his anger anymore. He grabbed her wrist and walked towards the car.

"Hey, Teng Yiyang, what are you doing!?" I want to go home! "

Teng Yiyang sneered, "I'll bring you home now."

Ji An'an was shocked by his tone. At this moment, her entire body was pushed into the car by him. She wanted to open the door, but the door had already been locked.

Teng Yiyang got on the car and drove directly into the residential complex.

"I can walk by myself, so don't hold on to me!" Ji An'an was dragged out of the car by him again.

However, the person who grabbed her didn't even listen. He used a key to open the door and dragged her inside.

She had come to this house once before, and it was arranged just like before.

"I want to go back. Why are you bringing me here?"

Ji An'an shook off his hand with a furious expression.

Teng Yiyang's gaze fell on the flowers in her arms, "Lovers? Rose? "

Previously, in order to buy flowers for her, he had researched quite a few flowery languages. The combination of these two kinds of flowers meant that he was in love with her.

He grabbed the bouquet and threw it in the trash.

Ji An'an was shocked. "What the hell are you doing!?"

She went up to pick up the flowers. Teng Yiyang saw how she cherished these flowers and remembered the treatment he gave her. It was like heaven and earth.

Growing jealous, he stretched and picked her up, shouldering her as he walked toward the room.

Ji An'an was so scared that her hands hit his back, "Teng Yiyang, let me down! "You …"

When she entered the room, she was suddenly thrown onto the bed.

When she recovered, she groped wildly for the bed and started to get up.

However, the moment she looked up, she saw Teng Yiyang leaning on both of her arms and staring at her with a dark expression.

"You dare to tell me, does Xie Langxuan have any interest in you?"

If he had asked her this question before today, Ji An'an would have been able to answer him righteously. The two of them were only friends.

But today, she had just experienced a confession. Her mind was in a mess and she could not deny it.

She bit her lip and pushed at him. "This has nothing to do with you."

She avoided answering, which proved that she knew what Xie Langxuan was thinking about her.0

Thinking about how she and Xie Langxuan were standing by the roadside, chatting and laughing while hugging their beautiful flowers.

Teng Yiyang pulled up the corner of his mouth and revealed a faint smile, reminding Ji An'an of a flower blooming on a snowy mountain. It was nice to look at but was extremely cold and looked to be very dangerous.

"It has nothing to do with me? "Ji An'an, it must be because I've let you off so easily that you've grown so bold."

He straightened up and stood by the window. He took off his coat and threw it on the chair, but his eyes were still locked on her.

He unbuttoned his shirt one by one, from his collarbone to his chest.

Ji An'an was finally afraid. She rolled over and crawled out of bed on the other side.

However, just as she touched the edge of the bed, she was once again picked up by her waist. When she fell back into the soft blanket, her body was already being held down.

"Teng Yiyang, we are already divorced. If you dare to do anything to me, I will …" "Mmm mmm!"

He swallowed the last word.
