At the moment, Ma Ruoxuan wholeheartedly wanted to take Lin Mo away, but she couldn't stay with Bai Yu any longer. She was worried that Bai Yu would hide things she didn't want Lin Mo to know.
He had just called Bai Yu over, and the two of them had gotten into a ruckus. He couldn't get Bai Yu to stay behind and look after Cang Qing for him, so he could tell that Lin Mo was in a dilemma. Bai Yu smiled and said, ”You should go eat breakfast first. I'll be there to guard the place.”
The look on Bai Yu's face when she looked at Lin Mu was both gentle and gentle. Once upon a time, he had looked at herself in the same way. It was just that everything had been ruined by him.
In fact, she also knew that she was lying to herself. If she hadn't thought of being closer to him, she wouldn't have voluntarily come over to him after losing her job. In the end, she couldn't let go of him, so when she thought about it this way, she felt that she was really contradictory, unable to take him down, just like a coward.
”Then, then alright, I'll have to trouble you first.”
As he said this, Lin Mo's face turned red from embarrassment. If the same situation had happened to Ma Ruoxuan, even if she had been wrong, she would still act crafty when dealing with outsiders. In front of outsiders, she definitely wouldn't let Ma Cai'er lose face, but afterwards, she would definitely show her some respect in the dark and teach her a lesson.
As he thought of this, the dissatisfaction in Lin Feng's heart towards Bai Yu subsided. Instead, he felt that his way of dealing with Bai Yu was a little over the top. After all, he was truly a little stingy when compared to him.
As a result, his expression towards Bai Yu became much friendlier and more natural.
”You haven't had breakfast, have you? ”Well, we'll bring you something to eat when we get back. Do you have anything you'd like to eat?”
Seeing that Lin Mo was no longer so indifferent towards him, Bai Yu felt much better. After hearing Lin Mo's words, she thought that she didn't have anything special she wanted to eat, so she said, ”Take it. I'll eat whatever you bring.”
”Alright then.”
Thus, Lin Mu brought Ma Ruo Xuan to a porridge shop beside the hospital. Although the restaurant wasn't big, the steamed buns made by this shop weren't bad. The second one saw the white steamed buns made from the new steamed buns in the restaurant and let out a growl; it was only then did he realize that he was hungry.
With a spoon in her hand, he stirred the congee in the bowl, one by one. She had no appetite at all, but she could not calm down, not even the slightest bit of appetite in her stomach. Lin Mu popped the steamed bun into his mouth and squinted his eyes in satisfaction. This steamed bun was simply too delicious.
”Gu'er, aren't you hungry? Eat more. ”
As he said this, he picked up a steamed bun from his plate. He was afraid that Lin Mu would be suspicious of him, so even though his stomach couldn't eat anything, he still stuffed the steamed bun into his mouth. However, the delicious steamed bun tasted like wax in her eyes.
Lin Mo looked at Ma Ruo Xuan and saw that he was not in a good condition. She then said to him, ”Ma Dong, I don't think you're feeling well. Why don't you go back and not stay in the hospital?”
Hearing that Lin Mu told him to go back, he naturally wouldn't agree.
Look at your current face, it's really as haggard as it can get. With such a poor complexion, you must have not slept for the night, right? I've already rested up, go back and sleep, and properly replenish your strength.
The call she made to her family yesterday had made her sad for the whole night. She kept tossing and turning in her bed, telling herself that it was fine, that she had gotten used to it, and that she would pretend that nothing had happened. However, the torment she felt in her heart had happened, and she could no longer suppress it as she hugged the quilt and cried until two o'clock in the morning. She finally couldn't bear the drowsiness and fell asleep, then three hours later, under the urging of her cell phone, she dragged her tired body out of the bed and got up with difficulty.
When she stood in front of the bathroom's mirror, she saw two big dark circles under her red and swollen eyes. She was afraid that Lin Mo would be worried if he saw her, so she boiled an egg and rolled it round and round in front of her eyes.
”Hey!” ”I'm fine, just look at how heartily I eat. I'm full of spirit.”
Last night, if he hadn't rested, then he would've felt very uncomfortable. But now, he just treated himself unfairly in order to take care of Cang Qing.
”No, how about this, I'll keep an eye out for you in a while. You sleep on the hospital bed, and when you've rested enough, I'll go back.”
Lin Mo looked at the resolute little face of the young girl and knew that this was the biggest concession the Empress had. Thus, she nodded her head, and the two sisters came to an agreement on this issue.
When she came out of the shop, Lin Mo was holding a portion of porridge and a small bag of buns in her hand. When she returned to the hospital, she was standing at the door of the ICU, looking at Cang Qing through the glass.
”Bai Yu, we're back.”
Hearing Lin Mo's voice, Bai Yu turned around with a smile on her face. That smile was not a fake smile like usual when he was facing the people next to him, but a knowing smile from the bottom of her heart, giving off a refreshing feeling.
Bai Yu could not help but feel her heart soften the moment she saw Lin Mo. Once Lin Mo was distant from him, he had the urge to break out of this deadlock. Bai Yu could not understand why, so she decided not to think about it anymore.
”Here's your breakfast.”
Bai Yu took the breakfast from Lin Mo's hands, took out the congee, and began to drink it right after she inserted the straw. Ruo Xuan sat beside Lin Mo, trying his best to hide himself.
She stole a glance at Bai Yu, he was still the same as before, even if she was eating a bun she was still elegant, giving off the feeling that he was a prince, eating French Western cuisine, her heart was astringent, she wanted to get close to him, but she was rational enough to know that she should stay away from him, hah! She was truly conflicted.
