Chapter 87 - The Arrival of the Jis (1/2)
Man is a very strange animal. Once you accept him, even if he is a psychopath, you won't be disgusted by him. If it had been before, A Miao would have choked.
But now...
”I didn't say it was you!” Although she could not choke, she should make him angry.
Shen Xinglan was like beast with hair stood on end. His fierce eyes were fixed on A Miao.
”You haven't pursued me, of course it's not you.” A Miao now looked at that face. Apart from being ridiculous, it was just pleasurable.
After all, Shen Xinglan's face looked better than hers!
”Do you like the new room?” Shen Xinglan suddenly changed the subject.
A Miao nodded. ”Whether I like it or not, it is too expensive.”
”My woman naturally needs the best.” Shen Xinglan looked better when hearing her say that she liked it. He opened his mouth to drink the rest of the soup.
”Where are you going?” Seeing that A Miao had packed her things and was about to leave, he grabbed her.
A Miao turned her head and clearly saw that reluctance flashed through his eyes. She smiled and said, ”I'll ask Le Yi if there is anything I need to pay attention to at night.”
”Don't go. He will come later.” Shen Xinglan pulled her to sit down.
The atmosphere suddenly became strange, and neither of them said a word. Shen Xinglan could not think of anything to say and suddenly became red in the face. A Miao saw that he had blushed, so she grabbed her hair and blushed as well.
”You...”
”I...”
”You speak first.”
”You speak first.”
There was another silence. Suddenly, Shen Xinglan grabbed her hand and said, ”When I'm ready, I'll go to see your aunt.”
”Aunt...?” A Miao did not understand.
Shen Xinglan raised his hand and patted her on the forehead. ”Idiot!”
”Ah!” A Miao understood, then laughed from the bottom of her heart. ”Well, she will surely be very happy.”
Looking at her eyes curve up as she smiled at him, Shen Xinglan felt that his whole heart became steady. Incidentally, he despised who he was before and decided that in the future he had to make her smile at him every day!
”What are you doing...” A Miao pulled back the corners of her mouth.
Shen Xinglan was trying to sit up.
”To hug you,” he said as he continued to move.
A Miao quickly held him down. ”Don't move. If that wound ruptures again, you will be in trouble.”
”Then you come and hug me.” Shen Xinglan lay back down and stretched out a hand.
Not caring about this lunatic, A Miao took the bowl to wash and also heard Shen Xinglan's dissatisfaction behind her.
”Why didn't I feel you're so shy before...”
In the evening, Le Yi checked up on Shen Xinglan once again, and when he left, he spoke in a particularly meaningful way.
”Don't even speak about strenuous exercise, you can't even get up. Do you understand?”
A Miao pulled a long face and pretend that she did not hear it, while Shen Xinglan looked at Le Yi with a supercilious expression. ”As long as I don't reopen the wound. What are you so worried about?”
Just because of this sentence, A Miao stared at him like he was enemy. She sat on the sofa from a distance, not close to the hospital bed.
”Why are you sitting so far away?” Shen Xinglan was very dissatisfied. ”Come here.”
A Miao looked at the ceiling. ”I am afraid of touching your wound.”
”I'm not afraid. Come here quickly.” He was unwilling and shouting when he heard the voice of Shen I at the door.
”Mr. Ji, here you are!”
A Miao was surprised in her heart and instinctively ran to the edge of the bed next to Shen Xinglan.
Shen Xinglan grabbed her hand and said, ”Don't be scared.”
”What's the matter with you?” Ji Zeming asked as soon as he came in as his eyes turned to Shen Xinglan.
Bai Yongwei also looked at him with a caring face. ”Well, how is it possible that you got hurt? Gunshot wounds? Did you call the police?”
”It was an accident,” Shen Xinglan said indifferently. ”Why are you here? It's so late.”
Ji Zeming saw that he could still speak, so he was relieved. ”Do you still want to keep such a big thing from me?”
”This is strange. I just woke up and haven't even had time to tell you what happened to me. How did you find out?” Shen Xinglan's eyes flashed across Bai Yongwei's face and saw that her eyes were faintly proud.
”This is a Ji hospital, how could I not discover that you are staying here?” Ji Zeming was not in a good mood as he spoke, and he then looked at A Miao with a pale face. ”My son was trying to save you, right?”
A Miao's eyes panicked and she was about to speak, before Shen Xinglan cut in. ”I saved my fiancee. Is there anything wrong with that?”
”Oh, what's this all about?” Bai Yongwei sighed with affectation. ”Xinglan, don't hide it from me. When we came, we heard the nurse say that you blocked a bullet for A Miao.”
Ji Zeming sternly accused him. ”Who did you provoke to make somebody else try to kill you?”
”Haha...” Shen Xinglan pinched A Miao's hand and looked at them mockingly. ”I don't know who fired the gun, but you seem to know.”
