After seven years of being a "simp," she's reborn and no longer pursuing the aloof sc

Chapter 90

In the end, my eyes were red, but I didn't vomit anything. I just felt disgusted by Gu Jinhuai and didn't think too much about it at the time.

I wandered aimlessly through the streets, a vast place where there was no place for me.

"Nanzhi."

Suddenly, a gentle voice came from directly in front.

I subconsciously looked up and saw Fu Yiran smiling at me.

I subconsciously looked back, a smile on my face, and then walked towards him.

"What a coincidence, what are you doing here?"

“I’ve come to find you. Su Qi called me a few days ago and said you hadn’t returned to China. I know you must be in the hospital.”

"How is he?"

Fu Yiran asked.

"Yes, I'll go back to China after I finish these few days of work. He's doing well, and the doctor said he can be discharged in a few more days."

My smile faded slightly as I spoke.

"So what are your plans for the future? Are you going back to China to find a job? Do you plan to stay in Lincheng or go back to Beijing?"

Fu Yiran asked again.

"Let's go to Lincheng."

I still had a smile on my face.

"There's a really good dumpling restaurant nearby, shall we go check it out?"

Fu Yiran looked at me and took the initiative to extend an invitation.

Afraid that I wouldn't agree, she looked even more nervous.

"Okay."

I didn't think too much about it and agreed immediately.

Because it wasn't far, we walked side by side together.

Soon, we arrived at the dumpling restaurant, and as soon as we entered, we could smell the rich aroma of dumpling filling.

Suddenly, my taste buds were awakened, and my appetite was immediately aroused. Looking at Fu Yiran, a look of joy flashed across my face: "It smells so good."

"Yes, dumplings taste better. There are very few Chinese restaurants abroad, and even fewer dumpling restaurants."

Fu Yiran's expression was gentle. I had never seen him angry in all the time we had known each other.

We went inside together, found a corner to sit down, and soon, a friendly waiter brought out the dumplings.

"Wait, we haven't..."

A hint of suspicion flashed in my eyes, and I was about to stop him when Fu Yiran's voice rang out from the other side.

"You can make reservations in advance here."

Upon hearing this, I suddenly realized what was going on. After the waiter left, I looked at Fu Yiran and asked, "You booked it a long time ago, aren't you afraid I'll stand you up?"

A mischievous smirk flashed across my eyes as I countered with a question.

To everyone's surprise, Fu Yiran looked serious and said bluntly, "You won't."

The man's serious expression made my smile freeze for a moment, and I was speechless for a moment: "You..."

"Eat quickly, it'll get cold soon."

Just as I was enjoying my meal, Gu Jinhuai called.

"Where are you?"

I paused for a moment upon hearing the deep, cool voice on the other end of the phone, then said calmly, "Let's eat."

"When are you coming back?"

Gu Jinhuai remained silent for a long time before asking the question again.

"I won't tonight..."

Before I could finish speaking, the man said firmly, "You have to come back. I'll be waiting for you at the hospital entrance, I'll keep waiting."

"You... hey..."

Before I could say anything, the other party had already hung up the phone.

"what happened?"

Fu Yiran noticed my frown and asked me kindly.

"It's nothing, just a madman."

I continued eating the hot dumplings, putting Gu Jinhuai's words out of my mind.

Half an hour later, we left the dumpling restaurant.

"Where are you staying tonight? I'll take you."

Fu Yiran was extremely gentlemanly and exceptionally polite.

"No need, I'll just walk around and go back to the hospital tonight."

Thinking of Gu Jinhuai's last words, I decided to go back.

If something happens to him, I'll be in big trouble.

"Okay, it's not safe tonight, I'll take you home."

Fu Yiran's smile froze for a moment, but he quickly relaxed.

"Senior Fu, you..."

I know that graduate courses will be very busy, especially the major that Fu Yiran chose. I have seen everything he has done, and I have decided to make things clear to him.

"Don't worry, I'm not busy. You said before that no matter how busy you are, you have to make time for meals."

"Nanzhi, this is for you."

Fu Yiran hesitated for a few seconds before handing me a teru teru bozu doll. It was crudely made, but the expression on it was painted in color.

"Nanzhi, I hope you are happy every day. This is what I made. I hope you don't mind it."

Fu Yiran looked somewhat flustered and nervous, and even stammered as he spoke.

"It's very nice, I don't mind at all. This is the first time I've received a gift from someone, and I'm very happy."

I spoke sincerely, took the pendant from his hand, and carefully put it away.

"Really?"

Fu Yiran was as happy as a child, a joyful smile on her face.

"Yeah, really."

I nodded seriously.

"Nanzhi, the pattern above is my drawing. I believe that one day you will pick up your paintbrush again and create even more outstanding works."

As I listened to Fu Yiran's encouraging words, a hint of sadness flickered in my eyes, but I was mostly moved.

I was ready to give up, but there was still one person who believed in me.

His words undoubtedly gave me the greatest encouragement. My eyes inexplicably reddened, and I choked out a reply: "Yes, I will."

"It's getting late, you should go back now."

Fu Yiran looked at my reddened eyes, sighed, raised his hand and rubbed my head, his tone still gentle.

"Be careful on your journey, and let me know when you arrive."

I waved to him.

"it is good."

Fu Yiran nodded in agreement.

I turned and went into the hospital. As soon as I got to the entrance, I saw Gu Jinhuai standing at the hospital gate, wearing only a thin hospital gown.

I was stunned for a moment, thinking I had misread it, but when I walked over, Gu Jinhuai looked away.

"Who told you to wait outside?"

I frowned, and my tone was angry.

"You care about me."

Gu Jinhuai forced a smile through his chapped lips, but his face was frozen, making his smile look strange.

"I just don't want the trouble. If you get sick, I'll be the one who gets tired."

I rolled my eyes at him and walked right past him into the store.

As soon as I stepped inside, there was a thud behind me, and the sound seemed so familiar.

She instinctively turned around, only to find that Gu Jinhuai had fainted again.

The weather has been very cold these past few days, and I don't know how long he's been standing there.

I hurriedly called the doctor, and in the ensuing chaos, I learned from the doctor that he had been standing at the door all night, his eyes fixed on the doorway, waiting for someone.

But now, I know perfectly well that the person he's waiting for is me, but I just don't understand why he's doing this.

Do you want me to pity him?

It seems like there is a bit now.

Noticing the change in my emotions, I immediately stopped thinking about it.

He fell into a coma because he caught a cold, and he also had a high fever this time. Gu Jinhuai was in a deep sleep the whole time, and when he woke up, it was only for a short while. When he saw me behind him, he fell asleep again.

But the hand it held was very strong, as if it was afraid I would run away.

I frowned and struggled for a long time without making a sound. Finally, I was too tired and just fell asleep on the edge of the bed.

The next morning, when Gu Jinhuai woke up, I was still asleep.

In my daze, I heard a deep voice: "I'm sorry."

Finally, I fell into a deep sleep again and didn't wake up until noon.

When I woke up, the hospital bed was empty; there was no one there.

"What about people?"

I frowned, and just as I got up, I saw Gu Jinhuai come out of the bathroom.

"How are you?"

I frowned, walked over, and touched the top of his head. I breathed a sigh of relief after I found that his temperature had gone down.

"What were you thinking last night? Don't you know what's wrong with your body? You went out and caught a chill. If you wanted to kill me, you should have just said so."

I vented my dissatisfaction, but Gu Jinhuai just stared at me quietly, his dark eyes making me feel a little uncomfortable.

After a long pause, he slowly asked, "Why can't you paint?"

Meeting his deep eyes, I instinctively shook off his hand, my pale face showing displeasure: "This is my business, it has nothing to do with you."

"What about Fu Yiran? You two are related? When did you become so close? You're willing to tell him everything. Zhou Nanzhi, didn't you like me? Why do you fall in love with every girl you meet?"

Listening to his questioning, I felt that he was being unreasonable.

I sneered, met his eyes, and my expression became more sarcastic: "Gu Jinhuai, who do you think you are? When I liked you, I didn't care. Now that I don't like you anymore, you're throwing yourself at me. Haven't you hurt me enough? I'm a human being, I feel pain too. Why should I like someone who tramples on me and belittles me at every turn? I never want to experience that feeling of offering my warm face to a cold backside again in my life."

I shook off his hand, my eyes glistening with tears from the intense emotion.
