She looked at him with a grin, her tone half serious and half joking.

Qin Yan looked at her crescent-shaped eyes, pursed his thin lips, and asked back: "What about you? I'm so nice, have you fallen in love with me?"

Ning Xi: “…”

You have all learned how to hit the ball back, right?

Just half a month ago, I would blush when I mentioned this!

She tilted her head and looked at him in silence.

Qin Yan's heart, which had been tense since he had just finished speaking, became even more tense.

However, he was good at disguising himself, so he looked the same as usual, as if he was just asking a very ordinary question.

"I like him a little, but not to the point of love," she said.

Qin Yan's heart suddenly sank.

And she continued, "After all, we have only known each other for a little over a month. If I fall in love with you so easily, it must not be true love. I am just lusting after your body and your face!"

Ning Xi shrugged and said sincerely.

Although she is greedy now, it is just a preference for beautiful things, and it has not reached the point of dementia.

Of course, being drunk doesn’t count. She has a bad drinking habit, she admits it!

Qin Yan's face had already turned black, but he did not interrupt her.

"But I have to admit that you are indeed a very good candidate for a husband. You are considerate and responsible. If your temper is not so unpredictable and you don't get angry easily, you will be more lovable."

Qin Yan: “…”

Should I thank you for praising me like this?

Qin Yan thought with a frown on his face.

"But," she suddenly became very serious and looked into his deep eyes, "whether I like you or fall in love with you, or you like me or fall in love with me, it's not worth it for you to risk getting hurt for me.

So Mr. Qin, don’t do this next time.”

She could openly admit her affection and love for him, but she never wanted him to sacrifice himself for it. She could not afford to repay such a heavy love.

Living under the care of others since childhood, being cautious with her sister, and being sensible at an early age made her dare not easily accept other people's kindness. Even if she accepted it, she would always weigh how to repay it. Once she exceeded this line, she would be afraid that she would not be able to pay it back!

Therefore, compared to a passionate love, she prefers the current way of getting along, which allows intimacy but is not in a hurry to cross the line, and can give each other enough space.

After that, she stood up, took off her gloves and said, "I'll go get you a tetanus shot and have the nurse give it to you later."

Then walked out.

Qin Yan looked at her leaving with deep eyes.

He is indeed blank and slow when it comes to love, but once he understands it, he considers himself not a fool.

If he was still unsure before whether he could spend the rest of his life with Ning Xi, then what happened in the past two days, especially what happened today, has made him very sure and certain that he has chosen this woman.

But her words also made him realize that although she seemed casual and even bold, her inner defenses were much more solid than his.

She can say that she likes him, but she won't open her heart to him easily, and she is even a little afraid of too much and too intense emotions.

Ah!

I have to say that some people, after they have become enlightened, are very good at observing people's minds.

Ning Xi had no idea that his heart knot had been seen through by someone, who had even made the decision not to rush and wait for the future. As long as he could keep her, it would be okay to be gentle.

Ning Lan remained in a coma afterwards, and Ning Xi did not rush to wake her up. Instead, he took the opportunity to give her acupuncture treatment.

Then I learned from the police the cause of Ning Lan's illness, which seemed to be related to Zhao Kailin.

However, ever since Ning Lan was sent to the hospital, she has been calling Zhao Kailin, but she didn't answer.

……

"Dad! Dad!" Zhao Kailin hurried to the Zhao family. After Mrs. Zhao fell ill, those debt collectors were afraid of being held accountable, so they didn't dare to come and make trouble in the past two days.

She went straight to the second floor and found Zhao Haicheng sleeping soundly with the air conditioner on.

Ever since his mother fell ill, he, as her son, only took care of sending her to the hospital and left everything else to his daughter, while he just ate, drank and slept at home, not taking care of anything.

Smelling the alcohol in the room and seeing the beer bottles on the floor, Zhao Kailin's eyes were full of disgust, but she still stepped forward and pulled open Zhao Haicheng's quilt: "Dad, Dad, wake up! Wake up!"

"What the hell! If you disturb my sleep again, I will beat you to death, believe it or not!" Zhao Haicheng, whose sweet dream was disturbed, roared angrily, and then the wound that had not yet healed was affected, and his face wrinkled in pain.

"You're still injured, why are you drinking?" Zhao Kailin took two steps back and rolled her eyes.

"Fuck you, you little bitch! What's your business if I drink? Your mother... Get out! Get out!" Zhao Haiben was already drunk, and the pain was also involved, so he cursed at her with dirty words.

Zhao Kailin endured his anger, her face became increasingly gloomy, and the hatred in her eyes grew deeper.

Thinking about Ning Lan’s abnormality, I felt that this family had completely lost hope!

Zhao Haicheng vented his anger and fell asleep again.

Zhao Kailin stared at him intently, then noticed the lighter and cigarettes he placed on the bedside table.

……

After treating Qin Yan's injuries, Ning Xi let him go home first and stayed in the hospital to take care of him.

Qin Yan was naturally worried, but thinking about his current state, he still said: "Remember to rest."

"Yeah, you too. Remember to take a shower and avoid the wound. If you feel uncomfortable, come see a doctor early."

"it is good."

Ning Xi watched him for a while before turning around and going back to find Ning Lan.

Because Ning Lan's illness this time was quite serious and she was afraid of noise, Ning Xi directly arranged a single room for her.

However, it was not a VIP suite, but just a single room that cost a few hundred yuan a night.

As Ning Xi sat down beside the bed, the person on the bed slowly opened his eyes.

"Aunt!" Ning Xi noticed it and hurriedly moved closer to her.

Ning Lan's unfocused gaze swept around the ward, and finally landed on Lai's face, "Xixi? Where, where is this?"

She propped herself up and tried to sit up, but Ning Xi quickly held her down and said, "This is a hospital, lie down for a while, don't rush to get up."

"Hospital? Why am I in the hospital?" Ning Lan didn't move, but looked at the ward again in confusion.

Ning Xi frowned at her reaction and asked, "Aunt, don't you remember what happened?"

Ning Lan shook her head, then hurriedly asked: "What happened? What's wrong with me?"

"No, nothing. It's just that something happened to you and you fainted. A neighbor found you and called me, and I sent you to the hospital."

Seeing that Ning Lan really didn't remember what happened to her, in order to avoid upsetting her further, Ning Xi decided to keep it secret for the time being and made up an excuse.

"Is that so? But haven't I been fine all along?"

"It's okay, they are just minor problems, I will cure them." Ning Xi comforted her.

Ning Lan nodded slightly but said nothing more.
