Muchuan And Xiang Wan

With the appearance of the two famous old professors, a few renowned specialists from Jin City also arrived shortly at the hospital and formed a strong medical team of specialists. The second round of review on Xiang Wan"s mom"s condition was commenced soon after.

It was not that people liked to belittle themselves but because reality was cruel.

Even if one gave up all of one"s family fortune, one might still be unable to get something done. Yet for some people, they could simply get it done with just a phone call.

It must be said that Bai Muchuan"s attention-grabbing and life-saving action for Xiang Wan"s mom sealed Youngest aunt"s mouth.

She was nervous and confused. Nevertheless, she was also clever enough to not mention Cheng Zheng again.

Of course, Bai Muchuan"s appearance and effort also moved Xiang Wan greatly.

Seeing the doctors and professors in their white coats making efforts to save her mom, she felt that she would really be willing to die for Bai Muchuan, if she had to repay him with her life.

…

Night fell.

The Jin City winds in autumn were gentle and tender.

Xiang Wan waited for the results and was no longer afraid.

After their discussion, the medical team redesigned a series of treatment for Xiang Wan"s mom.

The two old professors who traveled over a few thousand miles to Jin City were busy working till around midnight. Tang Yuanchu was also in-charge of sending them back to the hotel.

Before Professor Wei left, he gave Xiang Wan a comforting smile.

"Rest a.s.sured, young lady. There are difficulties, but we have found a way to overcome it…"

The professor used a string of medical terms which Xiang Wan was unable to understand. Bai Muchuan, on the other hand, was nodding his head and actually communicated with the old professor about the treatment. From his tone, she felt it was as though he was also a specialist himself. Bai Muchuan had unknowingly impressed Xiang Wan as he could say things in a logical manner when he conversed with the professor.

At the same time, Xiang Wan believed Bai Muchuan really did his homework with regards to her mother"s treatment.

"Little Chuan, you can be rest a.s.sured now. Hurry up and find a place to rest well."

"Uncle Wei, it"s tough on you too!" Bai Muchuan shook hands with him. "We"ll talk again tomorrow."

"Alright!" Professor Wei shook hands with him heavily then he swept a glance at Xiang Wan before giving Bai Muchuan a meaningful smile. "Don"t forget what you owe me…"

"Of course! I"ve recorded it down in my little notebook."

"Hahahaha!"

Xiang Wan listened quietly but she did not know what exactly did Bai Muchuan owe him.

That was not important. As long as she knew her mom"s got hope—that would be enough.

She thanked them profusely for she was really moved.

That night, the word that Xiang Wan said the most was "thank you".

After sending off the medical team, thanking the doctors and nurses, finally, the two of them were now alone.

Although her mom was still in a coma but in Xiang Wan"s heart, she was not as fearful anymore.

No matter what happened, someone would face it with her.

She never had this kind of feeling before.

Never to be replicated.

"Bai Muchuan."

There were only two of them in the long row of hospital lounge chairs.

Xiang Wan"s head softly rested on Bai Muchuan"s shoulder.

"Hm?" Bai Muchuan gave her a sidelong glance.

"Little Bai," she used another form of address.

"…" Bai Muchuan was speechless and closed his eyes. "What is it?"

"Captain Bai."

"…"

"Detective Bai."

"…"

Her placid and gentle voice was like a soft feather.

That seemed to tickle Bai Muchuan"s heart. He looked at her pale and weary face and couldn"t help but pinch her cheeks.

"What are you trying to tell me?"

"I only wanted to call you. My heart feels ticklish…"

"… What a coincidence, me too."

Xiang Wan looked at him and was now serious. "Well, I do have something to ask you."

She seemed hesitant, kept glancing at him from time to time and was mumbling in a low tone. "It-it"s… umm, I don"t know how to say it. I feel that it"s awkward to ask you this."

"Heh!"

Bai Muchuan chuckled at the sight.

He patted her head as though he was patting a puppy"s head.

"Little Xiang Wan, did you think you"re more "hangs.h.i.+" now, so you actually dare to talk to me like this?"

"Hangs.h.i.+" was a native dialect in Jin City which had a very close meaning to "capable". By using that, it showed Bai Muchuan was making an effort to get closer to Xiang Wan.

In the past, Xiang Wan never heard Bai Muchuan said any of the Jin City dialects.

Therefore, that stunned her for a moment and she nearly broke out in laughter.

However, this was not a place that was suitable for laughing after all.

"It"s Professor Wei," her lips formed a curve, "I feel that you"re really familiar to him?"

Bai Muchuan nodded his head. "You"re right."

Xiang Wan pursed her lips. "My Youngest aunt and uncle-in-law actually tried to invite him through a contact, but they were told that Professor Wei was feeling unwell and wouldn"t be able to help. Why is he willing to help you?"

Bai Muchuan shrugged as he whispered. "Didn"t I already say it earlier? I"m familiar with him."

"…"

Full marks for the answer.

Yet somehow there was no new information?

Xiang Wan gritted her teeth and decided to ask a more direct question.

"I"m just curious. Bai Muchuan, why are you so familiar with him?"

"Well…" A glint flashed past Bai Muchuan"s eyes. "Little Xiang Wan, may I have some privacy?"

"…"

Could she say no?

However, they only started to date in less than three months, and if she were to ask about everything, it did not seem reasonable of her, either.

Xiang Wan agreed a little reluctantly when she thought of something else. "Why don"t you ever tell me about your family? Somehow I feel that your family"s quite capable."

The average man might feel proud when they received praise about his family being capable.

That was not the case for Bai Muchuan though. Xiang Wan saw that Bai Muchuan"s expression sank and his eyes as though lost its glint for a moment.

"My relations.h.i.+p with Professor Wei is purely personal and has nothing to do with my family."

"…" Xiang Wan felt a little awkward.

She did not expect Bai Muchuan understood the underlying meaning of her words.

Bai Muchuan took a look at her tired red eyes and pulled her over in his arms. He held her while they looked at the white walls of the hospital. "I"m different from others," he said steadily, "I don"t need to depend on my dad or depend on my family background. I only need to depend on myself."

When she heard this, Xiang Wan"s heart skipped a beat.

She realized that Bai Muchuan must have heard those words Youngest aunt told her with regards to Cheng Zheng when he came to the hospital.

Xiang Wan was worried he would be unhappy over this. She looked up at his face and there was admiration in her eyes. "I know! My Little Bai is the best! You"re good at everything you do!"

"Oh, you even know about this?" Somehow his tone did not sound quite right.

"…" Xiang Wan nearly got choked because of him. "You want to die, Bai Muchuan?"

She raised her hand shyly to hit him, but Bai Muchuan grabbed her small hand.

"You silly, this is the hospital. How can you keep mentioning "die" here? It"s so inauspicious."

"…" His words sounded reasonable.

Xiang Wan"s face was now red. She felt like giving this rogue a bite.

However, his expression grew serious and Xiang Wan could see the weariness from his eyes.

"Aunty has the medical personnel to look after her. Actually, it"s pretty useless for us to sit here. Why not go back for a rest?"

…

They left the hospital.

The two of them called a cab and went back to the apartment.

While on the road, Xiang Wan did not hear him talk, so she turned her head and asked a question, "Bai Muchuan, do you think… I should find another place to stay?"

Actually, Xiang Wan did not feel anything for Cheng Zheng.

It was just that after hearing what Bai Muchuan said earlier, she wanted to take care of his feelings and preserve his dignity.

However, Bai Muchuan obviously did not seem to mind. "Why do you want to change?"

"What do you think?" Xiang Wan bit her lower lip. "It"s awkward."

"No need for that. Just stay there for the time being. You won"t be staying there for long."

"…"

He seemed pretty adamant to make her go to the capital.

However, with her mom"s condition like this, how could she leave?

Xiang Wan puffed a sigh inside her head.

After a long silence, she still did not hear his voice and turned her head quietly.

"Are you very tired?" she asked softly.

"I"m not tired."

"If you"re not tired, why did you close your eyes?"

"I"m worried I might fantasize if I see you."

"…"

"Little Xiang Wan, I"m a man full of vim and vigor. You won"t understand."

"Bai Muchuan, can"t you be a little more serious?"

"Sure."

"Hmph, your expression tells me I cannot believe you!"

"This is such a decent expression. Why don"t you believe me?"

"That"s not decent at all!"

"It"s decent."

"A little more decent…"

"Hm, decent."

"… Can you please move your hand away before you say decent?"

…

Bai Muchuan was definitely worn-out.

The cab had not reached home, and he was already fast asleep.

If the driver had not driven fast, she really wouldn"t have woken him up.

At the moment when Xiang Wan pushed him gently, he opened his eyes and revealed a moment of confusion with his tired red eyes, she felt her heart aching for him.

When they got back home, he went to wash up and she went ahead to whip up a meal for him.

As a result, when she finished preparing supper, that man had already sneaked into her room and was sound asleep in a comfortable position on her sofa.

He actually curls up his body when he sleeps, thought Xiang Wan,it makes him look like a crumpled up beautiful doll.

As she looked at his sleeping posture, she thought of a book she had read before—people who like to sleep in a curled up position had no sense of security.

However, this insecure Young Master Bai did not sleep on her bed just because he had done something really major that moved her but chose the sofa instead.

Xiang Wan had actually thought it through—if he wanted her tonight, she would not refuse him.

…

Rong Xiaonuan was standing at the edge of a cliff as she stared at the deep, bottomless abyss in horror.

A gust of wind blew past her, but it could not offer her any comfort.

She felt tears surging within yet unable to cry.

The dark abyss was about to swallow her when the sudden appearance of Fang Yelan was like the returning migratory bird—it caught her, broke through the thick coc.o.o.n wrapped around her, and licked all the wounds she had—slowly, they healed…"

That night, when Bai Muchuan was fast asleep, Xiang Wan wrote that in her novel "Murder The Dream Guy".

After she uploaded that chapter, she turned her head.

The man on the sofa was sleeping soundly.

The night sky outside the window was as dark as usual but warm.

Her heart, at the moment, was filled with joy.
