In the early morning, the first ray of sunlight shines into the ward.
Yan Yuan, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly woke up and saw a man standing at the door shouting:
"Chen Jian, where did you go last night? You worried me to death."
Zhang Ling, who was leaning on the side and sleeping lightly, suddenly opened her eyes, looked at another man walking towards her and said:
"You're here too."
"You're already here, how can I not come?" Li Xiangli said a little distressedly beside her, then turned to look at the cowering Chen Jian at the door and scolded, "What are you doing? Come in quickly and apologize for your failure to tell me last night.
And don’t apologize to Miss Yan.”
Chen Jian's eyes were full of pity, he looked at Zhang Ling and said:
"It's okay to apologize. Zhang Ling, I beg you to be kind and take Yan Yuan away today. If she stays here any longer, I'm afraid she won't be able to leave the hospital safely."
Yan Yuan looked at Chen Jian with an unhappy look and accused:
"Chen Jian, you are so heartless! How can you talk like this?"
"Did I say something wrong?" Chen Jian said with aggrieved eyes filled with tears.
Yan Yuan defended himself:
"That's because I took good care of you all day, okay?"
"Take care of me?" Chen Jian pulled off the bandage on his face, "Zhang Ling, look, my face was burned like this because of her." Chen Jian rolled up his sleeves and trouser legs again and continued, "Look at these things on me.
The bruises are also caused by the devilish massage..."
Zhang Ling looked at Chen Jian's cheeks which were also red and swollen. Not only were there bruises on key parts of his arms, legs and feet, but the skin in some places was red, swollen and flaky due to rubbing...
She also felt that this obviously didn't look like taking care of him, but more like Yan Yuan had used severe torture on Chen Jian.
With a somewhat distressed expression, she looked at Yan Yuan beside her and said:
"What's your explanation for this?"
Yan Yuan said with a little shame:
"That Zhang Ling, listen to me."
"I'm listening, you say."
"As you know, it is the first time for someone to take care of a patient. It is inevitable that he has no experience and will not do well. However, after yesterday's failure experience, please believe that I will be able to take good care of him from now on."
"What?" Chen Jian shouted unwillingly as soon as he heard this, "Auntie, please just be a human being. I lost half my life yesterday, and you still want the future! Please let me live.
OK?"
"I..." Yan Yuan looked at Zhang Ling next to her emotionally, "Zhang Ling, tell me, am I really that bad?" Yan Yuan looked at Li Xiang unconsciously, "But..."
Zhang Ling knows what Yan Yuan is worried about?
She smiled slightly, hugged Yan Yuan into her arms and said:
"No, our Yan Yuan is already very good at what he can do."
Yan Yuan said unwillingly:
"But he..."
"Needless to say, I know. It's just that he doesn't deserve your sacrifice." Zhang Ling said.
Yan Yuan worriedly said:
"But you..."
"I also know what you are worried about." Zhang Ling's eyes converged with Li Xiang's, "Even if he wants to cut off contact with me for the sake of his friends, don't worry, I will still not blame you."
Li Xiang looked at Zhang Ling and said:
"I will not."
Chen Jian suddenly felt that his lungs were about to explode.
Yesterday, when he learned that Li would not come to the hospital to rescue him if he wanted to see the guy who had sex with his friends, he gritted his teeth and made his injuries look more serious.
After fantasizing about letting Li Xiang see her at night, she had a falling out with Zhang Ling all night just so that he could see her.
Unexpectedly, Li Xiang did not fall out with Zhang Ling, but was taken back to the hospital early in the morning and forced to apologize to Yan Yuan.
What's even more terrible is that Li Xiang actually stated in front of him that his relationship with Zhang Ling would not change because of him.
This made Chen Jian feel as if he had received a fatal blow, and his body was like a puddle of mud hitting the ground. He was a bit like a fool in a madhouse who weakly repeated:
"ungrateful!"
Yan Yuan saw that Chen Jian was like this, and quickly waved her hand and explained to Li Xiang:
"You see, I didn't touch him. It's none of my business that he's sitting on the ground like this."
Li Xiang said nothing and wanted to put Chen Jian back on the bed, but his body was very slippery and he couldn't move it after several attempts.
Yan Yuan originally wanted to help, but because of Chen Jian's previous words, she hugged Zhang Ling and ultimately did not take that step.
Zhang Ling watched Li Xiang find a man and put Chen Jian, who was lying on the floor, on the bed. She really didn't understand Chen Jian's stupid words.
Apart from Chen Jian, there were only three of them who were familiar with Chen Jian.
After some analysis, the word "heartless" is most suitable to be used on Li Xiang.
She could only look at Li Xiang and ask guessingly: "What unscrupulous thing have you done? Let him keep saying that."
"This..." Li Xiang was a little embarrassed.
He can't say that Chen Jian has been working hard to break them up. For this reason, their brothers often relax their muscles for each other.
Although this is true, if it is really said, it will obviously affect the image of Zhen Li Xiang.
Even if he didn't think about Zhen Li, in the current environment of advocating civilization, he himself felt embarrassed to say these things to people with different surnames.
He was even more worried about whether Zhang Ling would misunderstand him, Li Xiang, as a scumbag who would not even care about years of brotherhood for the sake of women.
No matter how you think about it, this kind of person cannot be trusted for life.
Because women will miss such a man, there is no guarantee that if they meet a better woman in the near future, he will be abandoned like a brother who has been abandoned for many years.
Li Xiang least wanted to be misunderstood by Zhang Ling.
Zhang Ling confirmed that her guess was correct. Seeing that Li Xiang didn't answer for a long time, she asked even more curiously:
"Is it difficult to answer my question? I still don't want to answer it..."
"No, it's not. I was just thinking about how to word it so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings." Li Xiang quickly waved his hand to deny it.
Zhang Ling said with a smile: "It's okay. If there is any misunderstanding, I can explain it slowly. I have always been very patient."
Li wanted to say: "Oh, actually this is all because of you!"
"Because of me?" Zhang Ling guessed that it might have something to do with snail noodles.
Yan Yuan seemed to be very experienced and picked up the flavor from Li Xiang's words.
Before Li could answer Zhang Ling's question, Yan Yuan took the lead and said:
"Oh, I understand. Li Xiang must have done something that was sorry for Chen Jian regardless of brotherhood. And the main cause of this incident is you Zhang Ling."
Li Xiang did not expect that Yan Yuan actually answered the question for him, and happily agreed:
"Yes, yes, that's what happened."
Zhang Ling then asked:
"What's that?"
"This is..." Li Xiang racked his brains.
Zhang Ling saw Li Xiang's look and sneered and continued:
"Snail noodles are Chen Jian's masterpiece, right?"
"How did you know?" Li Xiang never thought that Zhang Ling would find out about this.
Zhang Ling continued: "That's why you knew that Yan Yuan and Chen Jian were enemies. You still insisted on pushing Chen Jian towards Yan Yuan. The purpose was to make Chen Jian suffer the consequences."
Before Li Xiang could admit it personally, Chen Jian, who was lying on the bed, suddenly sat up and looked at Li Xiang and shouted:
"Yes! Li Xiang, you are the most heartless. Where did I suffer the slightest loss?"
Li Xiang was confused and wanted to find a doctor for Chen Jian to avoid answering Zhang Ling's question.
Chen Jian looked at Yan Yuan with sad eyes and said:
"I've suffered a big loss!"
"You..." Yan Yuan groaned as she looked at Chen Jian lying on the bed.
He wanted to make a few excuses for himself, but Zhang Ling stopped him and said:
"Save it, stop talking. After all, he is a patient now. He is still a patient who was brought into the hospital by you."
"Okay!" Yan Yuan said with a low eyebrow.
Zhang Ling looked at Li Xiang again.
Li Xiang's soul seemed to be stared at by this gaze, or judged. He felt a sense of guilt sprouting from his heart.
He took the initiative and said to her:
"Zhang Ling, I know you don't like it when someone lies to you. But please believe me about snail noodles..."
"That's enough!" Zhang Ling didn't let Li Xiang continue.
Chen Jian heard full anger from these two words. He endured the pain on his face, put on an ugly smile, and reopened his closed eyes, just wanting to quietly appreciate the unexpected surprise.
She held Yan Yuan's hand tightly with one hand, walked towards Li Xiang with heavy steps, stared at him closely for a while, and then said:
"Please keep your explanation to yourself. I really don't want to hear a word of it."
Yan Yuan did not hear any bad words, nor did she hear a trace of disgust in Zhang Ling's tone, but she felt a full sense of disgust from the sentences composed of these words.
Yan Yuan thought there was something wrong with her perception, so she turned to look at Li Xiang on the other side, but she could tell from Li Xiang's expression that she did feel a full sense of disgust.
"Li Xiang..." Yan Yuan looked at Li Xiang's silly look and tried to remind him to say a few words of redemption.
However, she felt that it was not good to stand against Zhang Ling so blatantly, so she turned to Zhang Ling and said:
"No, Zhang Ling, didn't you just say that if there is a misunderstanding, you can explain it slowly. You have always been very patient. Why..."
Before Yan Yuan finished speaking, Zhang Ling suddenly dragged her out of the ward.
According to the classic plot in film and television dramas, Li Xiang should chase him out at this moment.
But he didn't do this and stood in the ward like a wooden stake for a long time.
His mind began to filter everything that happened after today's meeting.
No matter what, I can't imagine which part went wrong? That caused Zhang Ling to have such a big reaction.
Even if he blamed him for the snail noodles thing, it was deceptive. But if we get to the bottom of it, it can't be regarded as deception.
Just like you ordered a bouquet of flowers for your lover, but instead of delivering them to your lover in person, you asked someone to deliver them to your lover on your behalf.
In this case, could it be that this bouquet of flowers is not given to your lover?
He really couldn't figure out why Zhang Ling reacted so violently and left. He was not even allowed to defend himself.
I'm afraid Zhang Ling won't come to grandma's birthday party tonight.
How should he explain to his grandma that he has a headache?
Set an alarm in advance to remind him to go to work.
He had no choice but to leave first and go to work.
Chen Jian finally burst out laughing 30 seconds after Li Xiang went out. The burned skin on his face was torn in several places.
If he weren't worried that his face would be disfigured, Chen Jian would really want to laugh unbridled for an hour or two.
Because he finally witnessed the breakdown of the relationship between Zhang Ling and Li Xiang.
When Zhang Ling and Yan Yuan quickly walked out of the hospital door.
Zhang Ling stopped and looked at Yan Yuan with a smile and said:
"What's for breakfast? I'm treating you."
Yan Yuan was a little confused.
Shouldn't Zhang Ling be disappointed because her relationship broke up? What does her sweet smile mean?
"That Zhang Ling, do you still want to have breakfast?"
Zhang Ling heard Yan Yuan's confusion and said:
"Otherwise? Just like a sentence you once quoted in your composition."
"What words?"
Zhang Ling continued with a bit of sarcasm:
"Eating is to live, and people live to eat. It can be seen that the importance of eating here has always been very high."
Yan Yuan answered at first glance:
Have I ever said such a good thing before? Not bad, not bad!”
Zhang Ling looked at Yan Yuan's proud look and said:
"Of course! I don't want to see who you Yan Yuan is?"
"That's right! I think back then..." As soon as she finished speaking, she went through the words mentioned by Zhang Ling again in her mind.
"Uh-huh!"
Suddenly he came back to his senses and saw Zhang Ling smiling evilly. He raised his hand and slapped her on the shoulder and said:
"Zhang Ling, you are too bad. You deliberately let..."
"Tch, I didn't do it on purpose? I think you wrote this sentence in your composition back then. Don't you remember that the Chinese teacher read it out in front of all the students?"
"You..." Yan Yuan was speechless for a moment. She didn't expect Zhang Ling to joke with her.
Zhang Ling finally took the decision and took Yan Yuan into a small restaurant near the hospital.
Yan Yuan, who always eats quickly, put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands, mustered up the courage to look at Zhang Ling opposite, and said with a bit of self-blame:
"I'm sorry about that Zhang Ling! It's all my fault that I posted randomly on WeChat Moments and made you stay in Chen Jian's ward before..."
"No need to apologize to me!" Zhang Ling said without raising her head.
Yan Yuan said with relief:
"Yes, we have been sisters for many years!"
Zhang Ling then looked up at Yan Yuan and said:
"You're wrong. It's not for this reason."
Yan Yuan boldly guessed:
"Does that mean you had no intention of actually being with Li Xiang?"
Zhang Ling shook her head and said, "You think I am you! I just like to play with your boyfriends."
After hearing this, Yan Yuan was even more confused and said:
"Then what is the reason? Just tell me. Stop playing charades with me."
Zhang Ling smiled calmly and said:
"That's because I'm acting to Chen Jian."
"Acting to Chen Jian?" Yan Yuan was confused, "Do you need to act to that guy?"
"It's necessary!" Zhang Ling also put down the bowls and chopsticks in her hands and motioned for Yan Yuan to walk out of the small restaurant together, "Have you ever sensed that Chen Jian has always been hostile to me?"
"Yeah!" Yan Yuan followed.
"The purpose of acting is to eliminate her hostility towards me. To prevent him from causing another snail noodle incident for me."
"No, you're acting! But when I look at Li Xiang's reaction, it doesn't look like he's acting. What if he misunderstands you because of this?"
"Will it?" Zhang Ling asked instead without answering.
Yan Yuan looked at her and shook his head uncertainly.
"I believe that true relationships are destined. They will not alienate each other because of so-called misunderstandings. Instead, they will make each other's lives more exciting because of a little misunderstanding."
"Oh!" The surface agreed.
Yan Yuan disagreed with Zhang Ling's words.
Because all the lovers or couples that Yan Yuan saw since childhood were separated from each other due to misunderstandings.
Yan Yuan really didn't want to see Zhang Ling and Li Xiang separated because of a misunderstanding.
Therefore, she felt that it was time for Yan Yuan to do something.
Zhang Ling seemed to have seen through Yan Yuan's little thoughts and took the initiative to threaten:
"Yan Yuan, don't even think about secretly telling Li Xiang about my acting. Otherwise, I would rather not have you as a friend. Do you hear me?"
"No." Yan Yuan immediately expressed his position, and after a short pause, "However, I don't understand. Zhang Ling, what are you trying to do?"
Zhang Ling's true intention was to defeat Li Xiang's intention to take her to attend her grandma's birthday.
By the way, it can be considered as adding a little mysterious fun to tonight's birthday party.
