447 I Lost My Hear (1/2)

”En!” Wen Moshen nodded. He sat on the one-seater sofa, gazing at Lin Nuan's tranquil little face, then smiled gently. ”The doctor said that my eyesight might be affected because it's too near the optic nerves. Worst case scenario, I'll go blind entirely, so… I wanted to see you again.”

Lin Nuan's petite hands clenched.

It would be a lie to say she wasn't worried.

After all, there was their friendship growing up together. What's more, he was someone she once fancied.

Lin Nuan didn't make a sound. She had never been good at consoling people, so she just sat there quietly, not knowing what to say.

Perhaps because it was too quiet in the ward—so quiet that it felt awkward—Lin Nuan finally spoke up slowly, saying, ”Is the risk high?”

”It's not too bad!” Wen Moshen smiled.

Then it was back to silence again.

After a long while, Lin Nuan spoke again, ”You were fine after a plane crash, so your surgery will definitely be a success! You'll be fine for sure…”

Wen Moshen nodded and gazed up at the glorious sunshine outside the windows. ”After the plane crash, I wasn't fine, Nuan Nuan… I lost my heart!”

The golden rays seemed to have shone right into the bottom of Wen Moshen's eyes. He was smiling, but there was an unparalleled bleakness in his eyes.

His heart had been taken away by Lin Nuan.

After he lost Lin Nuan's love, he lost his heart too…

Only with her by his side would Wen Moshen feel the beating of his heart, the warmth returned into the blood flowing in him, an increased temperature in his chilly fingers.

Lin Nuan merely smiled lightly. ”Brother Moshen, once upon a time when you went missing, I too thought I had lost my heart. But it was only after meeting Huai'an that I realized what I thought previously was wrong.”

Look at how clever Lin Nuan's reply was; she didn't leave Wen Moshen any room to fantasize at all.

She was able to face up to the fact that she once loved Wen Moshen with ease, so she was telling Wen Moshen honestly… that her heart only had a place for Fu Huai'an now.

He didn't dare to turn around and look at Lin Nuan, so he continued gazing at the warm and glowing sun outside, his lips more arched than before, his gaze sadder than ever.

”Get a vase for those flowers, they'll keep for a longer time…” Lin Nuan suggested as she looked at the fresh flowers on the coffee table.

Wen Moshen shifted his gaze to the white and purple bouquet, then said softly, ”Lilies and forget-me-nots…”

Wen Moshen's thoughts returned to Lin Nuan's 16th birthday…

He gave Lin Nuan a necklace and a bouquet of lilies. Lin Nuan was ecstatic when she received those flowers, but when she looked up the meaning of lilies, the smile in her eyes was visibly less vibrant than when she received them.

He smiled and explained that he only gave her lilies because he liked them and that he didn't have flower meanings in mind. The next day, when he saw Lin Nuan, he told her that he had spent the entire night looking up flower meanings—lilies symbolize many things; some people said they symbolize friendship, while others said they symbolize purity.

Even back then, he was subtly beginning to reveal his fondness for the 16-year-old Lin Nuan…

”Forget-me-nots symbolize friendship, as well as everlasting love and everlasting memory.” Wen Moshen tried testing her response.

Lin Nuan's grip on her glass of water tightened. She smiled as she nodded, quick to respond. ”En, the florist said that it also depends on the gifter's identity. I'm not Brother Moshen's lover, so forget-me-nots symbolize… friendship and memory in our case.”

Memory?

That meant… their love was a thing of the past, only to be stored in memories?

Wen Moshen self-mockingly smiled. What right did he have to anticipate today?

If not for the fact that he would be on the operating table tomorrow, Lin Nuan probably wouldn't even be there…

Even though he knew Lin Nuan was already married, even though he knew it was no longer possible between the two of them…

Originally, Wen Moshen had merely wanted to see Lin Nuan. He didn't know what he was trying to test right now!

What if, after he stepped off the operating table, he found himself blind? How could he bear to encumber Lin Nuan?

Seeing Lin Nuan lower her gaze and gently take a sip of her water, he let out a long sigh, then scooped up the bouquet on the coffee table. ”I'll go look for a vase for those flowers.”

”Ok!” Lin Nuan nodded and set her glass on the coffee table, then grabbed her bag. ”Then, Brother Moshen, I'll get going first. I hope everything goes well tomorrow. When you're out of the operating theater, Huai'an and I will come to visit you again.”
