Time Travel: Conditional Wealth

Chapter 255: Not Saying It Is Admitting It

A woman who loves to gossip all her life will jump to the door even if she has to limp to see whose good man this is.

The door of the ward was open. He Xi stood sideways at the door, leaning against the door frame with half of her head sticking out, revealing watery, inquiring eyes, with a typical look of watching a melon. She listened carefully and watched seriously, but why did the male and female protagonists of the story not appear?

While the nurses were still teasing the male and female protagonists of the story, they turned around and saw He Xi, who was also eating melons. They greeted her enviously: "You're awake. I saw your partner go over there and come back in a while. If you want to go to the toilet, I can help you."

"No, no, no need." He Xi waved his hand and asked curiously, "What were you talking about just now?"

The two nurses looked at each other, and one of them burst out laughing: "What else can I say? Of course I'm talking about your boyfriend. We are all discussing how well he takes care of you."

When He Xi was about to explain to them about their misunderstanding, another nurse said, "Take a look at the breakfast he prepared for you. He wanted to bring the breakfast of the entire state-owned hotel here."

Following her gaze, He Xi discovered the breakfast that she had previously overlooked. At a glance, it should include noodles, porridge, buns, fried dough sticks, eggs and pickles. When she turned around, the nurse had already left, and the misunderstanding grew bigger and bigger.

Suddenly, a person whose face could not be seen clearly appeared in He Xi's memory. It was a man who had also taken care of her in the same meticulous manner, and she even became more dependent on him.

When He Xi was standing at the door trying hard to think of the person in her memory, Xu Tongzhou, who had just returned from the bathroom washing fruit, was also standing at the door with her. Just when she gave up, she saw him, the man who saved her yesterday.

The moment He Xi looked up, she was stunned for a moment, pursed her lips, and suddenly connected the person in front of her with the person in her memory. She had the same high nose bridge and curled eyelashes, but the difference was that his 3:7 bangs fell obediently on her forehead, giving people a clean and gentle feeling.

He Xi opened her mouth, wanting to ask the other party if he knew who the person in her memory was, but she felt it was impolite. She was not a fool, so how could she not understand the expression on his face towards her.

Xu Tongzhou was paying attention to He Xi's every move. He hurriedly put down the fruit in his hand, poured a glass of water for He Xi, and brought it to her mouth, intending to feed it to He Xi. She was stunned for a moment and didn't refuse. She thought that she was not thirsty, but she couldn't ask.

He helped He Xi back to the bed and sat down. The atmosphere was a little awkward. He turned his eyes to the breakfast on the table, then looked at He Xi and asked carefully: "Are you...hungry?"

"I..." He Xi's belly answered before she did, and she blushed in embarrassment, "A little bit."

He Xi remembered that she hadn't washed up yet. Xu Tongzhou looked at her quietly and curled his lips: "Here are the toiletries. Do you want to wash up first or eat first?"

He Xi decisively chose to wash up. People in the bathroom were looking at them in groups of three or four. She put force on one foot and slipped on the other foot loosely.

He Xi held a toothbrush in her hand, and Xu Tongzhou squeezed toothpaste for her, handed her soap, and took a towel. He accompanied her calmly and was very gentle to her.

Back in the ward, he was getting a spoon and handing chopsticks. He Xi watched him busying around. His smile when facing her was warm and gentle. She felt that refusing his care would be a blasphemy to him.

After the meal, he worked tirelessly to clean up the mess. He Xi thought about it and wondered why she couldn't fall in love now that she was single. Oh, no, it's called dating now, not falling in love.

He Xi and Xu Tongzhou were chatting in the ward. She asked, "Why were you here yesterday?"

Xu Tongzhou has changed his clothes. Today he is wearing casual clothes, still from their Hadu Yishe brand.

He was peeling an apple with a fruit knife in his hand. He glanced at He Xi with a faint smile on his face: "Don't worry, I don't have a habit of stalking people. My roommate and I plan to set up our company there."

He handed the peeled apple to He Xi: "Yesterday I was supervising the workers' construction and talked about cooperation by the way."

Hearing him say that, He Xi felt a little embarrassed, so she took the apple, took a big bite, and said vaguely, "Thank you."

Xu Tongzhou thought she was angry, so he moved the stool and himself forward two steps and apologized, "I'm sorry, I was afraid that you would misunderstand me as that kind of person. No, I meant you, and you are not that kind of person either."

"Oh?" He Xi blinked and looked at him, "Who am I? Who are you?"

Afraid that she would misunderstand him as a hooligan, the more he explained, the more confusing it became. Xu Tongzhou couldn't help laughing, it turned out that she was teasing him.

He Xi looked at him, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up: "Tell me, you take care of me so much, it's not just because we are classmates."

The room suddenly became quiet. Xu Tongzhou was very nervous, as if he could hear his heartbeat in his ear. He had liked her for a long time, but he couldn't express it because he had a fiancée. Now they broke up and she was right in front of him, so why didn't he convey his feelings to her.

"I like you." Xu Tongzhou felt that these four short words were more difficult than saying forty or four hundred words. It was a responsibility, and he was worried that he could not give her the happiness that Lu Jinan once gave her.

His face was hot and he was waiting for He Xi's reply with a fuss.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the ward.

The two looked at the three people who came in with surprise. They felt helpless as if their "relationship" had been discovered. They stared at the people blankly and looked at each other awkwardly. She said, "Let me think about it."

"Yes." Xu Tongzhou stood up and gave his seat to He Fei. "Okay, I'll wait for your reply. I'll go back first and come to see you later."

"Okay, be careful on the road."

"Well, have a good rest."

The content of the conversation was simple, but it felt like a conversation between lovers full of affection. He Fei looked at He Xi in shock, then glanced at Lu Jinan and said, "Xi'er, who is he? What is your relationship?"

He Xi looked into He Fei's eyes and said, "What are you thinking about? She is my classmate in the same major."

He Fei continued to question the other party's background: "Is it such a coincidence?"

"He and his roommate's company is there and is currently renovating it."

Lu Jinan raised his eyebrows. There is no such a coincidence in the world. All coincidences are man-made. "What were you talking about just now?"

He Xi asked him back: "What does it have to do with you?"

Lu Jinan frowned: "I'm worried that you'll meet a bad guy..."

"Bad guy?" He Xi's smile was full of laughter. "Who are you then? You're the one who took advantage of me and broke up with me. I have the right to accept other people now."

Lu Jinan stared blankly at He Xi lying on the bed, his eyes suddenly reddened: "You guys? You guys are together?"

He Xi ignored him. What right did he have to question her?

Lu Jinan's eyes turned red as he yelled at He Xi: "Speak up. If you don't speak, does that mean you admit it?"

Lu Jinan wanted to rush to He Xi's bedside to question her, but was stopped by Xiao Yan, and He Fei also protected her behind her.

He Xi looked at Lu Jinan calmly: "I remember I once said that there would be no chance for us after you left that door, and you left without looking back."

He Xi raised her chin slightly and stared at him arrogantly: "Lu Jinan, our relationship is a thing of the past. Since you proposed breaking up, it means that we are not suitable. Let's let each other go and put an end to it with my amnesia."

"Bang!" Lu Jinan punched the wall, startling everyone in the ward and the corridor.
