Lin Xiaomi did not know that this meal strengthened Leng Yihuang’s determination to reply on her for a long time.
She contrived to prepare different foods for him, intending to help him restore faster. By the way, she could also alleviate the guilt. After all, it was her dangerous driving that caused the accident.
However, what bothered Lin Xiaomi was that, she found the young nurses in the hospital more and more strange when they saw her these days.
Especially when they made the rounds of the ward and happened to see her supporting Leng to walk out of the bathroom.
It was a double-room, and another man lived in soon. Unexpectedly, it was a coincidence that he also had a car accident, nevertheless his injuries were worse.
After the anesthetic lost efficacy, he shouted himself blue in the face everyday. He looked so aching that Lin Xiaomi felt fear in the heart.
Whenever at this point, Leng Yihuang would slightly cast a glance at her, and Lin Xiaomi would become more attentive.
On the second day when the patient was transferred to the ward, Leng Yihuang said to Lin Xiaomi, “I can’t stay here anymore. I can’t sleep all night. But I have no place to go now. I’d like to move to your home to recuperate, and is that ok?”
Leng Yihuang did not beg for it, even without saying a “please”. He just lowered his eyes, with eyelashes quivering and dark circles around his eyes, wearing a worse look than the day he was hospitalized. So nobody knew if it was out of sympathy or some other reasons, Lin Xiaomi nodded.
Lin Xiaomi did not realize until she took Leng Yihuang back to her house that, she had just allowed a man who could be regarded as a stranger to enter her flat?
However, thinking of his injury, Lin Xiaomi told herself that he could only live until the day when he was well!
These days, they got along well with each other. She thought that he would leave when he recovered. From then on, they would not owe each other anything, and she thought it was an agreement between them.
Until later did Lin Xiaomi realize that it was just her wishful thinking.
The man in front of her was not a harmless sheep, but clearly a cunning and fierce wolf!
Standing in the living room, Leng Yihuang looked at the shabby apartment with loathing. But fortunately, it was clean and the decor was warm and sweet, so it was acceptable to live here.
The flat was an open style. He went to the only queen-size bed and lay down. “Xiaomi, I’m a little hungry.”
Lin Xiaomi answered with “oh”, turned around and went to the kitchen habitually. It never occurred to her until she was in the kitchen that how could he sleep on her bed!
“Hey, get up! This is my bed. How can you sleep on a girl’s bed?” Lin Xiaomi stepped over and tried to pull him up, but he was so heavy, just like a pig.
Leng Yihuang was in bad spirits. He had been holding back his fatigue, but at this point he was about to fall into asleep.
Now he heard the fool jabbering in his ear.
He stretched out his hand, yanked her to his face, and said, “What did you say? I’m sleepy.”
Lin Xiaomi did not stand steadily, directly falling down to the bed by his side. They were face-to -face, so close that the heat of Leng’s breath sprayed her in the face, and she could clearly count his eyelashes.
His face was pale and the black under his eyes was particularly obvious. The melancholy murmur from his vocal cord felt like acting in a spoiled way.
Lin Xiaomi found that her heartbeat suddenly became irregular, so she could not help giving herself a slap in the face.
With a thwack, tears began to flow from her eyes.
Lin Xiaomi, you mustn’t be nymphomaniac!
She jumped out of the bed without looking at him and turned around to go out.
Forget it. He was a patient and he didn’t sleep all night. She advised herself not to bother herself arguing with the likes of him.
Just wait till he left here to change the sheets and quilt covers.
Lin Xiaomi did not see, after she left, the pawky smile creeping across the lips of Leng Yihuang, who was lying on the bed.
