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

"Nono, please, don't say that, okay? Give me a chance, please."

His voice trembled involuntarily as he said this.

Despite Xu Ning's pleas, Wei Yinuo remained unmoved.

"Impossible, I don't like you."

"Give me a chance, give it a try, I will try my best."

"There's no need. After this experience, I've realized that the person I love most is Zhou Yan, and I can't force you to be with me."

Can we both be a little more dignified? I don't want things to get ugly. You keep saying you won't pressure me and that you'll let me think it over, but I have already considered you, and you still want me to give you a chance.

What else could you be but forcing me?

Upon hearing this, Xu Ning looked at Wei Yinuo with a hurt expression.

"Nono, I..."

Before she could finish speaking, Wei Yinuo impatiently interrupted her.

"Okay, that's enough. I don't like you, and I don't want to see you right now. You can leave now. I've already told my mom, and she'll be here soon."

As she spoke, she turned her head away from him.

Xu Ning stared intently at her: "Nono, do I really have absolutely no chance?"

Wei Yinuo didn't look at her and directly refused: "No."

Xu Ning gave a wry smile: "Hehe~"

He gave her a deep look, then turned and left without saying anything.

As Wei Yinuo heard the footsteps fading into the distance, she slowly turned her head, her gaze falling on Xu Ning's receding figure.

At this moment, Xu Ning's back view appeared somewhat lonely and desolate.

She watched quietly until Xu Ning's figure completely disappeared through the doorway, then, as if all her strength had been drained, she slowly withdrew her gaze.

"Ah Ning, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..."

Wei Yinuo's voice was low and choked with sobs, tears welling up in her eyes, but she held them back from falling.

Her heart was filled with contradictions and pain.

She didn't want to hurt Xu Ning with those harsh words, but she really didn't want Xu Ning to stay here.

She was afraid that after she died, Xu Ning would witness that horrific scene and be terrified.

She hoped that in Xu Ning's heart, she would always be that happy, cheerful little sun, not a cold corpse.

Wei Yinuo trembled as she pulled a scalpel from under her pillow.

She secretly took the scalpel when she met Fu Yao without anyone noticing.

She gripped the scalpel tightly, feeling its cold metallic texture, as if it were her last connection with the world.

She lowered her head and stared at her pale wrist.

ended.

Everything.

She was finally free.

She took a deep breath, then without hesitation raised the scalpel and slashed her wrist.

Strangely, she did not feel any pain, or rather, the pain was overshadowed by the despair in her heart.

Blood gushed from the wound instantly, like a red fountain, quickly staining the white sheets.

Wei Yinuo's body gradually weakened due to blood loss. She leaned weakly against the headboard, her eyes gradually losing focus, and her consciousness began to blur.

She waited quietly, waiting for life to pass, waiting for everything to end...

Suddenly, a jarring cell phone ring broke the deathly silence of the ward.

Wei Yinuo's gaze, which had been somewhat dazed, slowly began to focus after hearing the ringing.

As if slowly waking from a long dream, she slowly released the scalpel from her hand and reached out to grope for her phone on the table.

When she finally grabbed the phone and saw the caller ID on the screen, her heart skipped a beat.

It was Zhou Yan calling.

Wei Yinuo's finger hovered over the screen, as if she were going through a fierce internal struggle.

After a long while, Wei Yinuo seemed to have finally made up her mind. Her fingers trembled slightly as she slid across the screen with difficulty and finally pressed the answer button.

"Hello, Uncle Zhou Yan."

Wei Yinuo's voice sounded low, with a hint of weariness that was hard to hide.

Zhou Yan, on the other end of the phone, clearly noticed Wei Yinuo's unusual behavior and asked with concern, "Yinuo, what's wrong?"

Wei Yinuo paused for a moment, then replied softly, "It's nothing, I'm just a little sleepy."

Zhou Yan asked with some doubt, "It's only a little past nine o'clock, are you sleepy so early?"

"Ah."

"Where's Xu Ning? Is he next to you?"

"Ah."

Zhou Yan thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "Yinuo, go out onto the balcony now."

Wei Yinuo asked, somewhat puzzled, "Why?"

"You'll find out when you come here."

"I don't want to go, I'm so sleepy, Uncle."

Zhou Yan chuckled: "It's only this early and you're already sleepy?"

"Yeah, I'm sleepy."

"Be good, go to the balcony, Uncle will invite you to watch the fireworks."

Upon hearing the word "fireworks," Wei Yinuo's heart tightened, and a complex mix of emotions welled up inside her.

"I don't want to see..." Wei Yinuo's voice grew softer and softer until it almost became a murmur.

Zhou Yan was somewhat puzzled upon hearing this.

He muttered to himself: Why is this little girl acting so strangely all of a sudden?

He couldn't help but ask, "Yinuo, are you feeling unwell?"

Wei Yinuo mustered her strength and tried to make her voice sound less weak.

"No, Uncle Zhou Yan, I'm just a little tired."

Zhou Yan asked again, "Not watching the fireworks?"

"I do not want to look."

Zhou Yan asked, puzzled, "Why? Don't you young girls all love romance? Come on, just take a look, okay?"

Upon hearing Zhou Yan's words, Wei Yinuo tried to force herself to get up.

But I had absolutely no strength left in my body.

The sheets were soaked with blood.

She wasn't paying attention and accidentally knocked the scalpel to the ground.

It made a clanging sound.

Zhou Yan paused for a moment, then asked curiously, "What fell on the ground?"

Wei Yinuo replied weakly, "My phone."

Zhou Yan didn't believe it at all.

If he wasn't mistaken, it was the sound of metal falling to the ground.

Why would there be metal objects in a hospital ward?

"Uncle Zhou Yan, I'm very happy today, thank you."

Wei Yinuo spoke again.

Zhou Yan snapped out of his thoughts and replied, "As long as you're happy."

"Okay, I'm hanging up now, I'm so sleepy."

"Not watching the fireworks?"

"Next time, when I have the chance, I'll watch it again."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yan quickly replied, "What do you mean next time? Let's see now."

After I finished speaking, there was no response on the other end of the phone.

Zhou Yan picked up his phone and looked at it; Wei Yinuo had already hung up.

Zhou Yan couldn't help but feel a little flustered.

He dialed Xu Ning's number, and the call was quickly answered after only two rings.

Zhou Yan asked directly, "Xu Ning, how is Yi Nuo doing now?"

Xu Ning had just stepped out of the elevator when she received a call from her cousin.

Thinking about how Wei Yinuo said that the person she liked was Zhou Yan, she felt a little hesitant.

But that person was his cousin, so what could he do?

Xu Ning replied in a muffled voice, "It's fine."

Zhou Yan pressed on, "Are you by her side right now?"
