Even though she knew that Qin Shuke had good intentions, Feng Ling was still not used to being approached by her so closely.
Qin Shuke did not continue to approach her and only said, âAre you going to stay in the hospital for a few more days? I have nothing to do these days. May I come to the hospital to accompany you from time to time?â
Then she remembered something and turned to take in two large bags of fruit placed on the bench outside the ward. âThis is the fruit I bought just now. I was talking with Cousin Mingzhu outside the ward and almost forgot. I donât know what you like to eat, so I bought a lot of them. Just pick what you like to eat.â
âThank you, but no...â
Before Feng Ling finished speaking, Qin Shuke put the fruit on the square table beside the bed with great enthusiasm, took out the fruit knife and disposable fruit tray that she bought together and began to peel and cut the fruit.
Feng Mingzhu and Mrs. Feng probably didnât have a happy talk. Not sitting on the sofa for long, Mrs. Feng got up and said that she wanted to go. Feng Mingzhuâs face also clouded too but she followed her up obediently.
âLittle brother, we must leave now. I came to visit you, but I didnât expect my daughter to come here. Sorry for disturbing you.â After Mrs. Feng finished speaking, she turned to leave without waiting for Feng Ling to speak. It could be seen that she was in a very bad mood.
Just now, Feng Ling only noticed Qin Shuke, who had been cutting fruit and didnât pay attention to what the mother and the daughter had talked about. She didnât know why Mrs. Feng was suddenly in a bad mood, so she just nodded to bid her goodbye.
However, after they went out, Qin Shuke gently put the cut fruit in the fruit tray and then took Feng Lingâs hand to tell her to receive treatment on time, take the instructions of the doctor, and take more rest. Unable to stand her nagging, Feng Ling had to personally take her into the elevator, but Qin Shuke refused to let go of her hand, so she had to send them all the way to the gate of the hospital.
It was raining outside. The rain wasnât heavy and they could get into the car in a few quick steps.
Nobody took an umbrella. Seeing it was raining, Qin Shuke didnât pull Feng Ling out. She turned back to Feng Ling and said goodbye reluctantly.
Although the rain was not heavy, there was still some light rain drifting in diagonally and falling on Feng Lingâs head. For two or three minutes, the clean and soft short hair on her forehead became wet, which made her calm and fair-skinned face look more handsome and delicate.
Looking at her who was wearing a loose light blue sick suit and faintly smiling at her, Qin Shuke felt her heart was pounding hard.
âFeng Ling!â Qin Shuke was about to get into the car. After thinking for a while, she turned around and ran up to Feng Ling. Maybe because she ran too fast or just blushed, she said breathlessly, âMay I come to the hospital to see you again tomorrow?â
Feng Ling looked at the adorable little girl in front of her. Disguising as a man for so many years, she, for the first time, fretted about her gender.
She seemed to accidentally hurt a girlâs heart.
However, they should not have too many opportunities to meet in the future. If she simply liked her, an unrequited love would be better for her than discovering the truth.
âIâm not sure if the doctor allows me to meet people often, and the base also has some rules. If it is not necessary, youâd better not come here, Miss Qin,â Feng Ling said politely.
It was always uncomfortable being rejected. Although Qin Shuke knew that Feng Ling would definitely reject her, after hearing such a straightforward answer, she was still disappointed. She lowered her head and raised her hand to tug at Feng Lingâs cuff pitifully. âWell, does it mean I canât see you again...â
Feng Ling looked at the little girlâs white and delicate fingertips and was about to push her hand away, but Qin Shuke suddenly clenched her cuff. âHow about this? I wonât bother you these days, but on your discharging day, may I come and have a look at you?â
âMiss Qin, itâs still raining outside. Letâs talk about this topic later. Youâll catch a cold if you continue to stand here.â Feng Ling did not answer but calmly reminded her.
Qin Shukeâs eyes brightened at this moment and she wanted to say that if she had a cold, she might be able to take this opportunity to get an injection or be hospitalized so that she could stay with him again.
But when these words came to her mouth, she looked at Feng Ling who obviously didnât have any interest in her and closed her mouth, but she was still reluctant to let go of Feng Lingâs cuff. âThen... then I will leave with my aunt and cousin. But if I still have a chance to meet you in the future, I will ask for your phone number again. Can you give it to me then? â
Next time?
There shouldnât be ânext time.â
Feng Ling gave her a faint smile. âThen letâs talk about it next time.â
As if sensing a faint hope from these cruel words, Qin Shuke immediately grinned, turned, and hurried back to the car. Then she turned back and waved to Feng Ling before entering the car.
The giant black Hummer car galloped up in the rain and parked in front of the hospital. When Li Nanheng rolled down the window, he saw this scene.
The girl stood in the rain reluctantly tugging at the boyâs sleeve and then the boy seemed to promise her something. The girl blushed, turned happily, and ran into the car not far away.
On the Hummerâs copilot seat was a tablet computer that had not been turned off. Li Nanheng had just had a video conference of the base that had just ended. The screen was dark and the conference ended only a minute ago.
Li Nanheng, who opened the window to light a cigarette, was playing with a silver lighter in his left hand. He glanced at the boy standing in front of the gate of the hospital. His black eyes darkened and turned cold.
His phone rang at this time. The call was from Xiao Xu. Li Nanheng glanced at the screen and answered the call. âSpeak.â
âBoss, I may not be able to come back tonight. I donât think there is any big problem with Feng Ling. If youâre still worried about him, ask K to come and accompany him,â Xiao Xu said apologetically. âBut Feng Ling doesnât like staying in the hospital and still pays close attention to the matters of the base. If there is a task for him, I think he will rush back to the base even if the treatment has not ended. Itâs good to send someone to keep an eye on him, lest he always treats himself as an invincible warrior. The aerosol therapy hasnât been over yet, but he just canât wait to go back to training and take over tasks.â
âWell, Iâm near the hospital. Iâll be here tonight,â Li Nanheng said coldly.
As soon as Xiao Xu heard that Boss came to the hospital again, he didnât say any more but briefly talked about other topics and then hung up the phone.
