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

Just then, the ward door was gently pushed open, and Xu Ning slowly walked in.

Upon seeing Xu Ning appear, Fu Ya, who had originally wanted to say a few more words, immediately stopped talking and simply watched him approach the hospital bed.

Xu Ning quickly walked to the bedside, his gaze immediately falling on Wei Yinuo on the bed, his face full of deep worry.

Wei Yinuo looked up and saw Xu Ning looking distressed, feigning disdain.

"Hey, what's with that expression? It's like I have a terminal illness!"

Wei Yinuo frowned and said irritably.

Upon hearing this, Xu Ning seemed startled and hurriedly shook her head in denial, saying, "Pah, pah, pah, don't talk nonsense..."

"Just smile when you know I'm talking nonsense. Why are you making such a long face?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Ning smiled and asked, "Nono, how were you feeling this afternoon?"

Wei Yinuo nodded: "It's just like that, so boring."

"I know you're bored, so I came to keep you company after class."

After saying that, he suddenly remembered something and added, "Oh, right, I've already bought the things you asked me to buy for you."

As he spoke, Xu Ning quickly took a bag out of his backpack and handed it to Wei Yinuo.

Wei Yinuo did not immediately take the bag, but hesitated for a moment.

Seeing this, Fu Ya, who was standing to the side, was immediately intrigued and couldn't help but ask, "What did you buy?"

Faced with Fu Ya's question, Xu Ning did not hide anything and honestly answered, "Watermelon Frost."

"Watermelon Frost?"

Fu Ya was clearly surprised by the answer, a look of astonishment on her face. "Why would you buy this?"

Wei Yinuo's face turned a little embarrassed. She quickly reached out and snatched the bag, muttering, "Oh, it's nothing."

If my mother found out that I bought this for Zhou Yan, she would definitely ask me a lot of questions.

The thought of Zhou Yan made Wei Yinuo feel as if her heart had been hollowed out, leaving her feeling extremely empty and uncomfortable.

Thinking back on what she had said to Zhou Yan before, she knew it had been hurtful.

But she didn't know how to face Zhou Yan.

Whenever she sees Zhou Yan, she can't help but think of the way he looked at her that day.

Pity, shock, disbelief.

She will never forget it for the rest of her life.

"Nono, where's your aunt? Has she left?"

Xu Ning's words brought Wei Yinuo back to her senses.

Wei Yinuo nodded: "Yes, she had something to do and left first."

Hearing this, Xu Ning frowned slightly and asked with concern, "Then who's staying in the hospital to take care of you now?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she seemed to suddenly remember something, hesitated for a moment, and then lowered her voice to ask cautiously, "When I came here just now, I saw my brother in the hallway. When did he arrive?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Yinuo was surprised and widened her eyes, asking, "He hasn't left yet?"

"No, we're still in the hallway."

Wei Yinuo lowered her eyes and remained silent.

Fu Ya, who was standing to the side, suddenly blurted out with a puzzled look, "Nono, when did you become so familiar with Zhou Yan?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Yinuo's heart tightened, and a hint of guilt flashed across her face. She quickly stammered, "No...no, we're not really that close."

After saying that, he unconsciously lowered his head, not daring to look directly into Fu Ya's curious gaze.

“But he and your uncle are good friends. He’s come all this way to visit you. We can’t just let him stand in the hallway the whole time, can we? That would be impolite.”

Faced with Fu Ya's barrage of questions, Wei Yinuo was speechless and could only remain silent.

Seeing that Wei Yinuo remained silent, Fu Ya shook her head helplessly, sighed softly, and turned to walk towards the door of the ward.

Xu Ning stared intently at the girl leaning against the headboard, his eyes unwilling to leave Wei Yinuo for even a moment, and softly called out, "Nuo Nuo."

Wei Yinuo, who was lost in thought, was startled by the sudden call. After snapping out of her daze, she replied, "Huh? What's wrong?"

Xu Ning gently shook his head and said with a smile, "It's nothing, I just wanted to call your name."

Upon hearing this, Wei Yinuo couldn't help but roll her eyes and glanced at Xu Ning as if she were an idiot.

Seeing this, Xu Ning didn't take it seriously at all. Instead, she chuckled foolishly and then cautiously asked, "Nono, can I stay here and keep watch for you tonight?"

Wei Yinuo frowned slightly and asked worriedly, "Don't you have class tomorrow?"

Xu Ning quickly waved her hand and replied, "Don't worry, tomorrow's the weekend, so please let me keep you company, okay?"

Wei Yinuo hesitated for a moment, then nodded in the end, before adding worriedly, "But I don't know if my mom will agree."

Unexpectedly, Xu Ning looked very confident and patted his chest, assuring everyone, "I will definitely agree!"

Now it was Wei Yinuo's turn to be surprised. She asked in confusion, "Why are you so sure?"

Xu Ning just chuckled mysteriously, "Auntie will definitely agree."

Sure enough, in the evening, Fu Ya received a call from Fu Lu, who said he would send them dinner, several portions.

Fu Ya glanced at Xu Ning and said, "One serving will be enough."

After hanging up the phone, Fu Ya looked at Wei Yinuo and said, "Nuo Nuo, Xiao Ning will take care of you tonight. Your aunt will come over to bring you dinner later."

Wei Yinuo nodded: "Okay, I understand."

Xu Ning, who was standing to the side, was extremely excited. When Fu Ya left, he eagerly saw her off.

Wei Yinuo looked at him with disdain: "Unsolicited kindness is either a trick or a theft."

"No, I just want to be with you."

Wei Yinuo felt a warm glow in her heart.

"Ah Ning, thank you."

"If you really want to thank me, then get well soon."

Wei Yinuo lowered her eyes and remained silent.

Xu Ning paused for a moment, then stepped forward, took Wei Yinuo's hand, and mustered her courage to speak: "Nuo Nuo, I, I..."

Before she could finish speaking, Wei Yinuo quickly interrupted, "Wash me some fruit, I want to eat some."

Xu Ning nodded: "Okay, then you sit down, I'll go wash you."

Wei Yinuo smiled but didn't say anything.

She watched Xu Ning's retreating figure with a sense of melancholy.

She knew what Xu Ning wanted to say to her.

She can't respond right now, and she doesn't want to respond.

A moment later, Xu Ning brought over some fruit. He picked one up and held it to Wei Yinuo's lips, smiling as he said, "Nuonuo, open your mouth."

Wei Yinuo obediently opened her mouth and bit down.

Xu Ning's smile deepened.

He nervously rubbed his hands together, then mustered his courage to speak again.

"Nono, I like you. Be my girlfriend."
