C149 (2/2)
Yu Meng opened her eyes, and the haze over her face changed to a smile. However, this smile was a disguise, and Duan Hong could tell with a glance that Tang Tianbao's words and actions had once again displeased Yu Meng.
Duan Hong pulled at the white slip of paper on Yu Meng's body and then took the phone from her. He then whispered into the phone, ”What are you shouting about? Have we arrived? ”
”Mom? Is it Mom? ” Tang Tian Bao asked, ”Mom, are you alright? What's wrong? ”Which ward are you in?”
”Up to the seventh floor, ward 728.” ”Alright, hurry up.”
Duan Hong hung up after speaking.
Tang Tianbao took out his phone and ran to the elevator's entrance. Beside the elevator, there was a number that said ”level 28”. The red arrow was flashing downwards, but the number had already disappeared. Tang Tianbao couldn't wait any longer. He calmly followed the direction of the arrow, but to no avail. Behind him were many patients waiting for an elevator. They all had bitter expressions on their faces, as if they were deeply in love with each other. Tang Tianbao didn't have the time to waste time here. He pushed his way through the crowd and ran under the ”Safe Exit” sign. There was a staircase here, so he quickly climbed it. Yes, he had almost climbed up to the seventh floor, and when he came up he was panting and sweating profusely. However, he did not stop. He searched the corridor until he finally found the ”728” ward.
Tang Tianbao pushed open the door. After pushing it open, he felt as if he was being cheated. Although he felt a lot more at ease, it was followed by anger.
”Mom, are you alright?” Tang Tianbao said this almost without thinking.
Duan Hong was unhappy. She said with a straight face, ”What? You're still hoping that something will happen to me? ”
”Mom, I didn't mean that. What are you doing in the hospital? ”You scared me to death.” As Tang Tianbao spoke, he walked in front of Duan Hong and tightly held his arms.
”Yu Meng is sick.” Duan Hong hurriedly changed the topic. She pointed at Yu Meng who was lying on the bed, dripping a little, ”Look, why did you only just arrive?” Duan Hong criticized Tang Tianbao. Her criticism seemed more like it was directed towards Yu Meng. She hoped that Yu Meng would understand Tang Tianbao.
At this time, Tang Tianbao suddenly felt his entire body heat up uncomfortably. While wiping the sweat on his forehead, he breathed in a breath of relief and said, ”You're fine, so I'm relieved.”
What did he just say? Was he trying to go against Yu Meng? However, he had already drawn a clear line between himself and Yu Meng.
”You silly child, what's wrong with your eyes?” Duan Hong scolded. Her back was facing Yu Meng as she shot a look at Tang Tianbao. She felt a pang of irritation: the child was not at all sensible, not at all disconcerting.
”Alright, the two of you go ahead and chat. I'm going out for a stroll.” Duan Hong pulled Tang Tianbao to Yu Meng's side as he 'escaped far away'.
Tang Tian Bao faced Duan Hong's back and said: ”Mom, I still have things to do? ”Mom …”
Duan Hong had already walked out of the ward and closed the door. Tang Tian Bao and Yu Meng were both very clear on what Duan Hong's intentions were. It was nothing more than giving the two of them a chance to chat on their own. However, Tang Tian Bao didn't know what to say. He really didn't know what to say. However, he had left just like that. It wasn't good to leave Yu Meng alone here, so he began to have a difficult time. He didn't know what to do and was at a loss of what to do.
The ward was extremely quiet, so quiet that one could almost hear Yu Meng's breathing and Tang Tianbao's heart pounding. He wasn't the kind of heartless and cruel person, but Tang Tianbao really didn't want to have anything to do with Yu Meng anymore. He didn't want to owe her anything, and he also didn't want to give up something for her. Did he think his mother was hospitalized? That was why he was in such a hurry. However, nothing he said was of any use. After all, he and Yu Meng were the only two people in the ward now. Xie Min was still waiting for a meeting, and it was likely that it would be held soon. But if he ran away without informing her, wouldn't his hard work last night have gone to waste?
”I …” Tang Tianbao was too embarrassed to say that he still wanted to return to the company. He started to speak, but then fell silent. After a moment, he spoke up slowly, ”Are you alright? ”What's wrong?” In the end, he still asked. His conscience still felt that he owed Yu Meng. Wanting to completely sever her relationship with Yu Meng wasn't that simple.
”If you are busy, you can go first. ”I'm fine.” Yu Meng's voice was soft and gentle. Her body had suddenly become weak. Perhaps it was due to her staying out most of the night. No, it was probably due to her crying outside for the greater part of the night. Her eyes are still red.
The more Yu Meng said this, the more Tang Tianbao couldn't leave. He wanted to leave, but his conscience told him not to. If he just left like that, it would be too unmanly. If Xie Min knew that he had done so, she wouldn't be admiring him. A good person should be good for everyone, not just the people he loved. He told himself that this was not love, and that he did not like dreams. She believed that Xie Min wouldn't be jealous of someone she didn't like. Tang Tianbao had already treated Xie Min as his girlfriend. He muttered in his heart, as if he was telling Xie Min that he really wasn't rekindling an old relationship and that he was just here to visit a sick classmate. After this inner activity, Tang Tianbao was a lot more magnanimous. His magnanimity came from the bottom of his heart, and he had already promised Xie Min in his heart.
Tang Tianbao's way of doing things seemed very childish. Perhaps this was the ”stupidity” that men who had a crush on each other often committed. Xie Min didn't know any of this. The only thing Xie Min knew was that Tang Tianbao had become a ”deserter.” Just as he was about to enter the battlefield, he had actually silently ”fled” …
However, things didn't go well. Tang Tianbao, who was trying his best to draw a clear line between himself and Yu Meng, suddenly realized the seriousness of the situation.
