It was already the night of the third day.
Lu Ning was still lying quietly, showing no signs of waking up.
After watching Lu Jingzhi fall asleep, Shen Yunci and Lu Zhi went out, leaving Huo Jinyan alone in the ward to watch Lu Ning.
Huo Jinyan looked down at her thumb.
His gaze fell on his own wrist.
On his wrist was the bracelet that Lu Ning gave him.
His tears suddenly fell on it.
He smiled bitterly. Why do I feel Ningning has given me all of her luck, all covered in wounds as she is?
Tears fell one by one onto Lu Ning’s thumb. He gently reached out to wipe the tears away.
As he wiped them, Lu Nings fingers twitched. He saw them and thought that he might have been the one moving; then, he looked at her hands carefully.
Afterwards, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in the ward.
“Huo Jinyan.”
It was just a little hoa.r.s.e.
Huo Jinyan was stunned. He looked up and saw Lu Ning looking at him, her watery eyes staring at him without blinking. Lu Nings lips twitched as she smiled at him.
“Why do you love crying so much?”
Her voice was hoa.r.s.e, but it carried some cheer in it.
Huo Jinyan did not know how to react. He did not know if it was reality or a dream.
However, he had not even slept for the past few days. So how could he be dreaming?
Lu Ning slowly raised her hand to wipe his tears.
Her movements were slow and gentle. Her arm still hurt a little, so she could not use much strength.
As a result, the more she wiped his tears, the more tears he would shed.
She smiled helplessly at him. “My arm hurts. Don’t cry anymore, I can’t wipe it all.
Huo Jinyan immediately held her hand in his.
“I-I won’t cry anymore.”
Lu Ning smiled at him. “Okay.”
A dim yellow light lit up the ward.
Lu Ning looked at Huo Jinyan’s disheveled appearance. “Was I asleep for a long time?”
Huo Jinyan held her hand and placed it beside his face. “It’s been three days.”
Lu Nings eyes were gentle. “l thought it was already several years. How did you grow older in just three days? Are you not taking care of yourself?”
Huo Jinyan looked at her and felt a lump in his throat. He choked a word out, “Yes.
Lu Ning looked at the bags under his eyes. Her eyes became wet as she said in a nasal voice, “You have a stubble. It’s p.r.i.c.kly.”
She said that with a smile, and Huo Jinyan immediately moved her hand away. “I’ll go clean myself up.”
Lu Ning immediately grabbed his hand. “There’s no hurry. You look very handsome with a beard.’
Huo Jinyan was stunned for a moment before he finally smiled at her.
“Lie down here.’
Lu Ning gently patted beside her.
Huo Jinyan was stunned for a moment. Lu Ning looked at him in amus.e.m.e.nt.
“l want you to lie your head down here.”
Huo Jinyan lay down obediently and leaned his head on a spot beside Lu Ning.
Lu Ning placed her hand under his head and patted him twice,
“Don’t be afraid. I’m back.”
Feeling her genuine voice and warmth, Huo Jinyan grabbed the corner of her shirt, and his eyelids instantly started to droop.
“Don’t scare me.”
He said.
Lu Ning smiled. “Yes, but you have to make up for the presents you didn’t give me these past few days. I’ll deduct points if you miss a day.”
She joked to ease his nervousness. Her hand was still gently patting his shoulder, as if she was coaxing a child.
“I’ll give you presents every day, just don’t leave me.”
After he finished speaking in a soft voice, his breathing steadily relaxed…
