Chapter 155: Etched in the Bone

red lips parting slightly, “You, come with me.”向晚 first met Menglan two years ago. At that time, she didn't know that the backer of Meng Huisuo was He Hanchuan. It was only when He Hanchuan's gossip n...After noticing Aunt Liu's slightly strange gaze, He Hanchuan nonchalantly withdrew his gaze, looking calmly out the window as if that person just wasn't him.

"...Hmm." Xiang Wan hesitated for a moment before agreeing, "I know what I'm doing."

Aunt Liu didn't think she was very reliable and wasn't very reassured.

But her sister-in-law, Lu Yancen's mother, bombarded her with over twenty messages on WeChat within five minutes. She could only rush to pick up the car with Lu Yancen.

The moment the door closed, the ward fell silent.

Si tu sentada en la cama del hospital, bajando la cabeza y mirando el suelo sin decir nada, mientras que He Hanchuan se inclina hacia abajo para verla, también sin hablar. La atmósfera es un poco extraa.

"Want another drink" Ten minutes later, He Hanchuan walked to the table, breaking the silence.

Towards still lowered her head, distantly saying, "No more, thank you, Director He."

The ward fell silent again.

"If there's nothing else, General He, you should leave. I want to rest for a while." Xiang Wan clenched the bedsheet and glanced at him, then quickly lowered her head again.

He walked to the bedside, his distinctly knobbly hand lifting her chin. "You seem to love this excuse."

"Mr. He, you misunderstood. That wasn't an excuse," Xiang Wan stood up and took a few steps back, creating some distance between them, still bowing her head, "People with ailments all over their body, can't compare to Mr. He, they get tired and weary easily."

His fingertips still tingled with the smoothness of her chin. He moved his fingers slightly, then took a few steps forward, closing the distance between them to within twenty centimeters.

“Apart from pulmonary edema and the illness on her legs, what other ailments does she have” He bent slightly, his gaze lingering on the scar above her brow. His heart ached, a sharp pang like a needle prick.

Maybe...it really could be liking

Just like what Qingran, Yuxuan and his mom said

They were very close, so close that when Xiang Wan raised her eyelid, her eyelashes would brush against his face. And when he breathed, the hot air he exhaled sprinkled on her face, making her frown.

"Are there any other illnesses I have that are unrelated to Mr. He" Xiang Wan took a step back, widening the distance between them once more until she was pressed against the wall.

She looked at him and this time, directly told him to leave, "I need to rest, Mr. He, go back."

"Huan," He Hanchuan's eyes deepened, he took a step forward, his right hand supporting her side, and called out her name with a slightly cool tone.

Towards Evening licked her dry lips, the cold wall behind her and his fiery body in front of her made her very uncomfortable. She looked up at his indifferent handsome face, her eyelashes trembling uncontrollably.

Even though she wouldn't admit it, she was truly afraid of him.

Even though logic told her not to be afraid, her body remembered the pain he had once inflicted. Fear of him had become something ingrained in her very being.

Click.

At that very moment, the door opened.

"W向晚, I'm here to see you, are you feeling better" Ren Xiaoya hopped in with flowers, when she saw the two people practically stuck together in the hospital room, she was first surprised and bewildered, then her face flushed red.

He turned his head and glanced at her, straightened up, and turned to face her. While Xiang Wan pursed her lips and walked a few steps to the bedside and sat down.

“You… you…” Ren Xiaoya’s face was red like a tomato. She looked at the two of them with flickering eyes, her face even redder. Then she gritted her teeth and said to He Hanchuan, “I came here today to see Wan, you… go take a cold shower!”

Ge Hanchuan didn't quite understand her meaning at first, slightly furrowed his brows and remained silent.

"It's not what you think." Xiang Wan rubbed her temples, her voice a little hoarse. "He and I were just talking about some things."

Having finished speaking, she pointed to her neat hospital gown and then to her neck and slightly chapped lips.

He followed her movements with his gaze, his eyes flickering, his Adam's apple bobbing.

“Oh——” Ren Xiaoya responded in a drawn-out tone, peeking at He Hanchuan timidly with her eyes. Then she tiptoed to the bedside and handed the flowers to Xiang Wan while sticking out her bottom, “Get well soon!”

As soon as the words left her mouth, she darted to the door and pressed herself against it. Her face was pale with fear, and she looked extremely nervous.

向晚, “…”

He Hanchuan, just as unaware of Ren Xiaoya's panic, walked to the bedside with measured steps. He took the flowers from Xiang Wan's hand and placed them on the table.

"Ouch!" Suddenly, someone pushed the door open, and Ren Xiaoya, who was pressed against the door, almost fell to the ground.

Zhong Yuxuan carried fruit and walked in, seeing his apprentice with a dejected face at the door, he couldn't help but laugh and cry, "What are you doing standing at the door"

"Even a big iceberg would be scared!" Ren Xiaoya shrank her neck and whispered, "Master, please get him out quickly, I'm too afraid to even talk to Xiang Wan with him here, wuu wuu."

Zhong Yuxuan rubbed her bun, helplessly saying, "How old are you, and you're still making those noises"

"I just want to cry!" Ren Xiaoya said stubbornly.

"...." Zhong Yuxuan chuckled softly, "One punch to kill the Ai-ai monster."

Then, amidst her frustrated gaze, he walked into the ward, placed the fruit basket on the table, and asked the hospitalized Xiang Wan, "Xiaoya keeps mentioning Miss Xiang in my ear every day. How is Miss Xiang doing"

"Much better." said Xiangwan.

"That'll do!" Upon hearing this, Ren Xiaoya smiled, her small tiger teeth had not yet emerged, and then she retracted her smile, frowning and complaining: "I wanted to come when you were in trouble, but my master said that He Zong said you couldn't come. If I upset you, it wouldn't be good for your health!"

Hearing the next sentence, Hualian subconsciously looked at He Hanchuan, but she found him looking at her too. Their gazes met.

Ge Hanchuan didn't move. Xiang Wan first retracted her gaze, her face not looking very good.

Does He Hanchuan care about her health She really doesn't know what he's thinking anymore!

Wouldn't it be too cheap for her to die like this

"We're such good friends, how could I possibly make you angry!" Ren Xiaoya crossed her arms, cheeks flushed with anger. "If anyone doesn't deserve to see you, it's He Zong! He..."

Zhong Yuxuan pushed his glasses and, smiling, pulled Ren Xiaoya into his arms, covering her mouth. "Little girl, you speak without thinking, always saying whatever comes to mind. There's no malice."

"You're not a kid anymore, you always act this way. Be careful, you might cause trouble." He Hanchuan said lightly.

Upon hearing this, Ren Xiaoya's eyes widened in anger. She wanted to say something, but with her mouth covered, she could only make muffled whimpers.

"I'm here by her side, isn't that just to clean up her messes" Zhong Yuxuan was bitten by Ren Xiaoya, it hurt a lot, but he just raised an eyebrow slightly.

A flash of incomprehension crossed Han Chuan's eyes. He opened his mouth, but said nothing.

He didn't quite understand why Yuxuan was so protective of Ren Xiaoya. If he were in Yuxuan's shoes, even if he liked someone, he wouldn't go this far to protect them.

He can't be by her side all the time, nor can he protect her from everything. It's much better for her to grow independently than to rely on him.

Thinking about this, he frowned slightly, as if he had been thinking about this word lately.
