"Huo Jinbei!" Lu Ran walked quickly to his bedside and looked at him nervously with his eyes wide open, "How are you? Where are you injured? Does the wound still hurt?"
When Huo Jinbei saw her, his expression and eyes were calm. He just shook his head slowly and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine."
Lu Ran just frowned slightly and looked at him, and after a while he whispered: "But you are much thinner than the last time I saw you..."
After hearing this, Huo Jinbei said calmly: "I haven't lost much weight, so this should be just your illusion."
Ruan Yin happened to walk in with a cup of hot tea. When she heard Huo Jinbei's words, she couldn't help but glance at him, then sighed slightly and handed the hot tea to Lu Ran.
"Thank you, aunt." Lu Ran took it and said obediently.
Ruan Yin smiled slightly, helped Huo Jinbei change the subject, and said, "How is your life at school? Do you like it?"
"I like it!" Lu Ran immediately nodded heavily and said, "I didn't understand many things before. The teachers and classmates taught me a lot. I like school very much."
Ruan Yin nodded and said: "That's good. It's rare to find a lifestyle that suits you. You will definitely be fine in the future."
Lu Ran nodded slightly and said, "Huo Jinbei and Sister Mu Qian also taught me a lot, and I am very grateful to them."
After saying that, she looked at Huo Jinbei again and smiled at him unabashedly.
This was going back again. Ruan Yin had no choice but to say: "You guys talk, I'll go to the kitchen and watch the fire first."
Lu Ran nodded in response, still just looking at Huo Jinbei. After a while, he suddenly remembered something, his eyes dimmed slightly, and said, "Are you... in a bad mood?"
"Huh?" Huo Jinbei didn't seem to expect that she would ask this.
Lu Ran came closer to him in an instant and stared at his face carefully, "Are you in a bad mood because of that sister named Song Qianxing?"
Hearing Qianxing's name, Huo Jinbei seemed to freeze for a moment, and then said, "Do you still remember her?"
"Of course I remember her!" Lu Ran said, "You said you liked her!"
Huo Jinbei listened but didn't answer for a while.
Lu Ran glanced at him and couldn't help but said again: "Do you still like her now?"
After Huo Jinbei was quiet for a moment, he smiled, but did not answer her question. Instead, he said, "What about you, have you done anything new at school recently?"
No matter how unsophisticated Lu Ran was, she could tell that Huo Jinbei didn't want to talk about Song Qianxing. She didn't know what went wrong, and she didn't know how she should react. She stared at Huo Jinbei with some grievance and some reluctance.
After a while, she took something out of her bag and handed it to Huo Jinbei.
Huo Jinbei reached out and took the thin tablet, raising his eyebrows in confusion, "This is?"
"It's for you." Lu Ran said, "There are a lot of comedy movies in it. They say they can make people feel good after watching them."
Huo Jinbei unfastened the tablet and turned to the player. Sure enough, he saw about a dozen videos.
"Have you seen them all?" Huo Jinbei asked.
"No." Lu Ran answered truthfully, "I have never seen any of the movies in this."
"Then who told you that you will feel good after reading it?" Huo Jinbei said.
Lu Ran was speechless, choked for a moment and then said: "Just listen to what others say. Anyway, you have to recuperate, so just take a look!"
Huo Jinbei didn't say much, he just said: "Okay, I will read it when I have time."
Lu Ran said "Oh" and still just stared at Huo Jinbei, as if he still had something to say.
Huo Jinbei raised his eyes to meet hers and asked, "What?"
Lu Ran came back to his senses, shook his head quickly, and said nothing more.
Huo Jinbei didn't ask further questions and simply clicked on a movie on the tablet.
Lu Ran's attention was immediately attracted by the video again, and he moved next to him to watch it with him. He was often amused and laughed.
She stayed here until noon, because she had to go to class in the afternoon, so she could only leave reluctantly, leaving only one sentence before leaving: "I will come to see you another day."
However, this "different day" did not last too long, and Lu Ran appeared here again in the afternoon of the next day.
This time, she brought several funny books, one of which was written by a hospital doctor about interesting things that happened in the hospital, and was highly recommended by Lu Ran.
On the third day, she brought several more variety shows that were said to be very interesting;
On the fourth day, she brought several mechanical construction toys that adult men would also like;
On the fifth day, she brought aromatherapy to help relax and sleep;
On the sixth day, she brought a Bluetooth speaker with excellent sound and intelligence. It is said that playing music can make people’s ears as happy as their bodies...
Huo Jinbei accepted all orders.
Ruan Yin said: "This little girl looks carefree, but she is very considerate. She has taken you into consideration for everything she sent."
Huo Jinbei was unconvinced.
…
Qianxing stayed in Tongcheng for another week.
This week, she was counting the days.
Huo Jinbei's injury is not serious. After this week of rest, he should be fine.
With his temperament, he might return to work in two days. By then, what should she do?
Qianxing was wandering around the mall while thinking about this problem.
After shopping for a long time, she couldn't find what she wanted to buy. When she was about to change places, her phone suddenly rang.
Qianxing took out her phone and took a look. It was a text message from Lu Ran.
She replied to her, quickly walked out of the door, and headed to the agreed place.
During this time, they always met at a small coffee shop near the university. Qianxing was familiar with the road. After entering the door, she walked directly to the booth in the corner.
There was a curtain outside the booth. Qianxing lifted the curtain with one hand and walked in. Just as he was about to say something, his whole body was suddenly stuck there.
The person sitting inside is not Lu Ran.
It's Huo Jinbei.
He sat there quietly, with a half-full cup of coffee in front of him, and he was looking down at a book, looking seriously engaged, and did not immediately look up when he heard any movement.
Qianxing was stiff for a moment, then suddenly turned and walked away.
She ran out of the coffee shop in a hurry, but she still couldn't control her racing heart.
Lu Ran made an appointment with her, but Huo Jinbei was sitting there, so the situation was already obvious——
She was exposed.
All Qianxing could think of was running away, as far away as possible.
But just after escaping about a hundred meters, she suddenly stopped.
This is already the case, no matter how far we escape, what's the point?
She was in a daze for a moment, then suddenly turned her head and looked at the coffee shop.
…
Huo Jinbei was still sitting in his original position, flipping through four or five pages of the book in his hand, when the curtain next to him was suddenly lifted open again.
Immediately afterwards, the man who had left and returned slowly walked in and sat down opposite him.
Huo Jinbei slowly raised his eyes and saw her sitting there with her head lowered, stiff and awkward, like a child who had done something wrong and was waiting for the verdict.
