He lured her deep into his trap, using both overt and covert methods to seduce her.

Wei Yinuo felt very uncomfortable when she felt Zhou Yan's gaze.

So she opened her eyes and looked at him, saying, "Uncle, you don't need to stay here and watch over me."

Zhou Yan subconsciously reached out to touch the top of her head, but Wei Yinuo reflexively yelled, "Don't touch me!"

The words fell.

Zhou Yan's hand froze awkwardly in mid-air.

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

Wei Yinuo then realized that she had overreacted.

She was a little embarrassed: "Um, I, I mean..."

Wei Yinuo knew what it was.

But she didn't know how to start the conversation.

Zhou Yan withdrew his hand and comforted her with a smile, "Nono, it's alright, don't be afraid."

"I'm not afraid."

"I know you're the bravest."

Wei Yinuo fell silent, unsure of what to say.

She felt completely lost and didn't want to face Zhou Yan.

Wei Yinuo spoke again: "You can leave now."

Zhou Yan looked at her, puzzled.

Wei Yinuo bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I don't know how to face you, so could you please not appear in front of me?"

Zhou Yan's expression froze for a moment.

A hint of melancholy flashed in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it.

He asked casually, "Am I that scary? You don't want to see me that much?"

Wei Yinuo looked at the ceiling and answered softly, "No."

"what is that?"

Faced with Zhou Yan's persistent questioning, Wei Yinuo remained silent.

Clearly, Zhou Yan wouldn't leave without a satisfactory answer.

Wei Yinuo gripped the bed sheet tightly, as if she had mustered up her courage, and glanced sideways at Zhou Yan.

Her lips opened and closed.

"Seeing you reminds me of everything that happened that day, so can you leave now?"

Upon hearing Wei Yinuo's words, Zhou Yan's face turned pale instantly.

Finally, he left the ward.

They fled in panic.

Wei Yinuo watched his departing figure and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

She doesn't need anyone's pity now.

She is not pitiful.

……

Around 4 p.m., as soon as the school bell rang, Xu Ning rushed out of the classroom and drove straight to the hospital.

As soon as Xu Ning parked the car, he spotted Fu Ya and Si Nian slowly getting out of a car.

He quickly pushed open the car door and jumped out, running towards them in a few strides, shouting, "Aunt Fu!"

Hearing the sound, Fu Ya stopped and turned her head slightly. Her gaze fell on Xu Ning, who was running over breathlessly. She smiled and asked, "Xiao Ning, why did you run over at this time?"

While catching her breath, Xu Ning replied, "I thought I had nothing to do after school, so I came to keep Nuonuo company."

Fu Ya's smile widened, and she said softly, "Thank you so much for coming all the way here to keep her company."

Xu Ning quickly waved his hand and shook his head repeatedly, saying, "No need to thank me, no need to thank me, it's what I should do."

Upon hearing this, Fu Ya was taken aback, a hint of confusion in her eyes, as if she didn't quite understand why Xu Ning would say such a thing.

Xu Ning hesitated for a moment, but finally mustered up the courage to speak: "Aunt Fu, there's something I'd like to talk to you about alone, is that alright?"

Fu Ya was a little surprised, but quickly nodded and replied, "Of course."

As she spoke, she turned to Si Nian beside her and said, "Then you should go upstairs first."

Si Nian naturally reached out and took the bag from Fu Ya's hand, replying, "Okay, then I'll go up first."

After watching Si Nian leave, Fu Ya turned to look at Xu Ning and asked softly, "Xiao Ning, what do you want to say to me?"

Xu Ning took a deep breath and then solemnly bowed deeply to Fu Ya.

Fu Ya was startled by his sudden action.

She hurriedly reached out and caught the boy in front of her, scolding him playfully, "Oh dear, child, why are you making such a fuss? Let's talk this out!"

Xu Ning raised her head, looking at Fu Ya with utmost sincerity, and stammered, "Auntie... I... I really like Nuonuo very much."

As soon as he finished speaking, the base of his fair ears turned red instantly.

Fu Ya was taken aback by these words and froze.

She stared blankly at the slightly shy boy in front of her. After a long while, she came to her senses, forced a smile, and slowly said, "Our family likes you quite a bit too. Why are you suddenly bringing this up?"

Xu Ning felt anxious when he saw that Fu Ya did not seem to fully understand his feelings.

He bit his lip, took a deep breath, and mustered his courage to say loudly, "No, Auntie, the liking I'm talking about isn't the kind between ordinary friends. My feelings for Nuonuo are genuine. I want to take care of her for the rest of my life and stay by her side forever."

Fu Ya's faint smile gradually disappeared, replaced by a serious and earnest expression.

She stared sharply at Xu Ning and asked sternly, "Xiao Ning, do you know what your words mean?"

When Fu Ya asked Xu Ning this question, he panicked, but he still nodded vigorously and answered in a slightly trembling voice.

“I…I know, Aunt Fu. I decided to confess my feelings to you after careful consideration. I really, really like Nuonuo. This feeling is definitely not a momentary impulse or a joke.”

Fu Ya frowned slightly and continued to press, "Were you two secretly dating behind the adults' backs?"

Xu Ning quickly shook her head and hurriedly explained, "No, no."

"Does Nuonuo know how you feel about her?"

Fu Ya stared intently at Xu Ning, not missing a single subtle change in his expression.

Xu Ning shook her head again and said in a low voice, "She...she doesn't know that I've been wanting to find a suitable opportunity to confess to her, but I'm afraid that being too abrupt will scare her. So I came to tell you today first, hoping to get your support and approval."

Fu Ya sighed softly, her lips slightly parted as she slowly said, "Xiao Ning, you're all still young, I think..."

However, before she could finish speaking, she was urgently interrupted by Xu Ning, who was extremely anxious.

Xu Ning pleaded earnestly, "Auntie, I truly love Nuonuo. Please, please allow me to pursue Nuonuo. I swear I will take good care of her for the rest of my life."

After saying that, he knelt down in front of Fu Ya without hesitation.

Fu Ya was startled by Xu Ning's sudden action. After regaining her senses, she quickly reached out and helped Xu Ning, who was kneeling, to his feet.

"Oh dear, child, get up quickly. Let's talk this out. Why are you kneeling before me?"
