The air in the ward was condensed, and Ning Suyi could hear her breathing and heartbeat. She didn't know where to answer, staring at the white quilt, and her mind was blank.

Ning Suyi himself has no idea how long he has been silent.

"When did it start?" She heard her ask him, her voice a little hoarse.

It was a very abrupt question, but Jing Chi understood it. She asked when he started to like her.

Jing Chi lowered her head, and the skin on the back of her neck was white. She could see her slightly convex spine extending to the bottom of her collar. Her long ten fingers crossed, and she never answered her question, because she felt that the answer was meaningless.

I have known her choice for a long time, so how to answer is no longer important.

"I never wanted to ask for what I wish, really." Jing Chi kept bowing his back and lowering his head, making her unable to see her expression clearly, and she couldn't see the undercurrent in his eyes. "I didn't even think about letting you know and letting you respond, don't bother you, okay?"

After a long time, he finally raised his head, and the emotions in his eyes had been removed from him, leaving only a piece of sincerity.

Jing Chi raised the corner of his lips and spoke gently tone. He also deceived her: "I may not like you so much, you don't know. My elder sister recently introduced me to several beautiful girls, among them alumni from the same school. Maybe... maybe I will fall in love with someone else tomorrow."

Ning Suyi looked at him and wanted to cooperate with him and smiled, but she couldn't.

"Lisho, as long as you want, I can always be your little Chi brother." Jing Chi pinched the back of her hand, looked at her with a deep look, and said word by word, "None of us can compare to our friendship since we were young, right? We just pretend that nothing happened, is it as good as before?"

He lowered his eyes and his voice was soft: "I don't want to hide from you. Although you don't say it, I know you will feel uncomfortable and I won't be happy either. Similarly, don't hide from me, okay?"

OK?

Of course it's good.

Ning Suyi turned her head slightly, and the heat flow in her eyes eventually turned into a tear, slid down the corners of her eyes, flowing through her temples, and slapped on the bed sheets.

"I never thought of hiding you." Ning Suyi tried her best to make her voice sound calm, "Believe it or not, I never wanted to draw a clear line with you."

"I believe it." Jing Chi said, "I believe everything you say."

He held the back of her hand and put it on his face. He was scared by this incident today and dared not think about staying away from her anymore. He wanted to be close to her and protect her.

He had no choice but to set rules and make three rules with her, carefully repairing the cracks between them, hoping to recover as before.

He should make up for the mistakes he made.

After the two finished chatting, soon after, clear footsteps came from the corridor outside the door. The few people who had finished supper were back.

Jing Chi wiped his face, buried his emotions, put down Ning Suyi's hand, got up and opened the door, with an impeccable smile on his face, greeted them, and said, "Su Su only ate a little bit, I leave the insulation bucket here, and if she is hungry at night, she will let her eat something more."

Tai Shuying smiled and said, "You have trouble."

"It should be." Jing Chi walked to the door, paused slightly, turned around and looked at the person on the hospital bed, smiled, as gentle as usual, "Su Su, you have a good rest, I'll see you tomorrow."

Ning Suyi put her hands outside the quilt and gently clenched her five fingers: "Be careful on the road."

It was getting late, so many people could not be left in the ward. Several people discussed it and finally left Bi Zhaoyun to accompany him at night. Tai Shuying was old and could not stand up.

Ning Suyi insisted that she was fine and did not need to accompany her, so she asked them to go back and rest. Tai Shuying didn't listen to her, so she left her husband after a few words.

Bi Zhaoyun helped to put down the hospital bed, helped her to the bathroom to wash up briefly, and then helped her to lie down on the bed.

"Sister-in-law, please trouble you." Ning Suyi felt a little sorry.

"Whatever you say is the whole family, so what are you polite?" Bi Zhaoyun smiled, took the toilet bag he brought over, and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

There are spare blankets in the bag, the ward space is much larger than that in the ordinary ward, and the sofa is wide enough, so Bi Zhaoyun is just lying on it.

Ning Suyi fell asleep for an afternoon, late at night, but she was not sleepy at all. Her mind was repeated over and over again with Jing Chi's words and his expression when she spoke.

His trembling eyelashes, wet eyes, and slightly pursed lips were all lingering in her mind.

He said so solemnly and lightly, and made her think that nothing had happened. They were the best friends and relatives who accompanied each other as before.

She agreed to him and said yes.

However, she knew very well that what had happened was the established fact of existence, not that you could really not exist if it did not exist.

Ning Suyi put her arm on her head and narrowed her eyes slightly. A small night light on the bedside table emitted a faint light, as if it was warm, allowing her to ferment slowly.

She sighed unconsciously, and Bi Zhaoyun heard it. She sat up and looked at the hospital bed: "Su Yi, aren't you asleep yet?"

Ning Suyi came back to her senses and said "yes".

Bi Zhaoyun leaned against the back of the sofa, held a blanket in her arms, and the air conditioner was turned on inside. The temperature was suitable. Her voice was particularly gentle: "Are you frightened?"

"It's a bit." Ning Suyi said.

"Then I'll talk to you?"

Ning Suyi smiled and said, "I don't know what to say."

Bi Zhaoyun talked about some trivial matters about living in a small county town, about trivial matters in the factory, and about the process of her acquaintance and love with Ning Yiyang.

Ning Suyi had heard her briefly tell the story about her before, but she didn't know more about it, and she couldn't help but listen to it at this moment.

"How did you make sure you want to spend your life with him?" Ning Suyi asked.

Bi Zhaoyun is not as knowledgeable as her, and can't speak many romantic words. She only uses the most simple and popular words: "We are almost like this. When men and women reach the age of marriage, they are arranged to go on blind dates with matchmakers. They quickly settle down when they meet each other. Amu's facial features are upright, gentle, and diligent and willing to endure hardships. They are the type I like..."

Speaking of this, she felt a little embarrassed and smiled before continuing to talk about Ning Yiyang chasing her. He waited outside the factory where she worked every Friday to pick her up for dinner, and took her along the river for a walk together after dinner, and then took her home in the evening.

It made her feel at ease.

Ning Suyi pulled the quilt and buried it at her neck, and couldn't help but think that emotional matters are complicated to say, but it turns out that it can be that simple.

"Su Yi, are you sleepy?" Bi Zhaoyun asked her softly.

"No."

"I've said so much, but haven't asked you yet, do you have someone you like?"

Bi Zhaoyun thought about it and was not sure whether a lady from a wealthy family like her would need to marry a master who is of equal status as she did in the TV series to achieve the goal of adding icing on the cake.

Ning Suyi's thoughts that ran away were pulled back by her words in an instant. She pondered for a while and said, "No."

"Maybe I'm too much, and I think the Young Master Jing who has been talking to you more often is pretty good." Bi Zhaoyun was tired of sitting down, so he simply lay down and whispered softly, as if he was whispering, "He called his home in the afternoon. When we arrived at the hospital, he kept holding your hand. The white clothes on his body were so dirty. The sweat from his forehead seemed to be sucked out of the water, and his eyes were red. He was so nice to you."

Bi Zhaoyun opened up and gradually lost his scruples: "Does he like you?"

Ning Suyi: "Do you think he likes me?"

"I don't know, maybe it's because you have a good relationship?" Bi Zhaoyun said, yawning.

Ning Suyi stopped talking and the ward returned to quiet. After a while, she heard the sound of uniform and long breathing, and Bi Zhaoyun fell asleep.

——

Jing Chi returned to Yongcui Yuefu last night. This morning, he accompanied the old lady to have breakfast and asked Aunt Qiong to make some soup to nourish her body. He took her to the hospital in the morning.

Old Mrs. Jing wiped her mouth and asked him: "Hospital? Who is sick?"

"Spicy."

"Oh, what's wrong with Kushu?" the old lady said nervously.

Jing Chi did not tell her about Ning Suyi's condition in detail, and only told her in a few words that Su Su was accidentally trapped in and out of the faulty elevator. She fainted due to lack of oxygen. She had woken up, but she was a little exhausted and was currently in hospital.

Ning Suyi was the old lady Jing who was growing up, so she was worried at the moment. She quickly asked Aunt Qiong to stew the soup, and said she wanted to go to the hospital with Jing Chi to have a look.

Jing Chi couldn't persuade her, so she had to let her go.

It was cloudy today, the temperature was a little low, there was no wind, and the sky was foggy, which inevitably made people feel a little depressed.

Jing Chi was silent all the way to the hospital, parked his car in the parking lane outside the inpatient department, helped the old lady get out, went upstairs, came out of the elevator, and there was a pungent smell of disinfectant in the corridor.

Before I could enter the door, I heard the voices in the ward.

Jing Chi knocked on the door, and Tai Shuying came to answer the door. When she saw the old lady coming, she was immediately flattered: "How can you ask you to come and visit the junior? It's really the fault of this girl."

Jing Chi's eyes passed by Tai Shuying and saw a figure standing by the bedside. Mu Jingting was dressed in casual clothes and holding a bouquet of fresh flowers in his hand. It was obvious that he had just arrived.

Ning Suyi hurriedly sat up and greeted the old lady. The old lady reached out and told her to lie down: "I am idle at home, and I feel relieved to come and take a look."

Mu Jingting then said hello, took the initiative to give in, and asked the old lady to sit on the chair beside the bed. He looked at Jingchi and placed the flowers in his hand on the bedside table.

The old lady pulled Ning Suyi and said a few words of self-cultivation. She remembered the soup that Jing Chi took and asked her: "Are you hungry? Grandma brought you soup, do you want to drink some?"

Tai Shuying said, "She didn't eat a few bites for breakfast, so she probably was hungry."

Ning Suyi smiled, as she agreed to her words.

The lights were on in the ward, illuminating Jing Chi's cold face. He lowered his head and fiddled with the insulation bucket, served a bowl of soup, and handed it to Ning Suyi.

Old Mrs. Jing blamed him for being inconsiderate: "The bottom of the bowl is hot, how can I take the sour sauce?"

"I'm fine, right?" Jing Chi pretended to be joking, "I think Su Su is your granddaughter, I picked it up."

He sat down on the edge of the bed, scooped up the chicken soup and blew it, and fed it to Ning Suyi. I don’t know how many times this scene has happened in the past, but he is naturally very comfortable.

The lingering atmosphere between the two seems to be a small world, and others are excluded and become a background of silence.

Ning Suyi drank the soup silently, occasionally looking up at Jing Chi. He looked calm and met her gaze, and just smiled softly: "Is it delicious? Aunt Qiong cooked it early in the morning."

Ning Suyi nodded.

When Mrs. Jing saw this scene, she was awakened by some immortal, and suddenly said happily: "If you two become a couple, I will be very happy." Finally, she asked Ning Suyi tentatively, "Su Su, if you don't have a boyfriend, why would you ask Xiao Chi to be your boyfriend. I see that he is very considerate, what do you think?"
