Chapter 295: Chapter 294: So Anxious? (4)
Gu Ningyi’s tone was very calm, but if you listened carefully, you could still hear the slight tremor and anticipation in his voice. She almost never took the initiative to find him, always avoiding him whenever she could, but these days, she was so anxious to reach him. Yuan Shen said she made many calls and sent many messages.
His heart was instantly filled with joy, and then immediately with anxiety.
He was worried something might have happened to her.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t see now and didn’t know what she had sent, so he immediately called her, afraid she was anxious.
These days, he tried to restrain himself from thinking about her. He really thought he was doing a good job of it, but when her voice came through the phone, he realized just how poorly he had controlled himself.
In just one second, all the longing broke through, flooding over him.
He wanted to see her, even though he couldn’t see at the moment.
Gu Ningyi’s words suddenly pulled Dong Xin Yan’s consciousness back. She steadied herself, took a light breath, pushed down those strange emotions, and stepped into the hospital room, stopping a few steps in front of Gu Ningyi, then softly spoke, "Well, it’s because our three-month... contract has ended, so..."
The three-month contract.
Those words suddenly entered Gu Ningyi’s ears, and he was momentarily shaken, his legs somewhat unsteady.
From the very beginning, he never took this so-called contract seriously. He just unconsciously, uncontrollably, inexplicably wanted to get close to her.
Even though he had struggled, resisted, and restrained himself, he still couldn’t fight his own heart.
Every minute and every second, he was trying to get closer to her.
But it turned out, every minute and every second for her, she was counting down the days, wasn’t she?
Gu Ningyi suppressed the desolation in his heart, his handsome face still showing no expression, but the voice he spoke with was somewhat hoarse, "You came to me just for this?"
So anxious to find him, searching for him everywhere, was still just for a Cheng Ziyang from beginning to end.
Was there not even a little bit of simple concern for him?
If she wasn’t coming to him for this, then what else could it be?
Dong Xin Yan nodded lightly, responding, "Yes, but I didn’t know you were injured and hospitalized, I thought you... sorry, I seemed to have misunderstood you."
As she got closer, Dong Xin Yan finally saw that Gu Ningyi was wearing a loose hospital gown with a slightly pale complexion, and a bandage wrapped around his forehead. It was evident that he was hospitalized due to an injury.
So these days, his disappearance did have a legitimate reason.
As she spoke, her voice carried a hint of guilt and apology because indeed, she had thought ill of him before.
Gu Ningyi, even though he couldn’t see her expression, could still hear the decisiveness in her tone.
The last sliver of hope was also crushed like this. Gu Ningyi stood rooted, his dark eyes lowered, long dense lashes covering his eyes, hiding the self-mockery and pain in them.
Dong Xin Yan hadn’t noticed his expression. She suddenly remembered what she had asked Zhou Yalin to help with earlier, thinking Gu Ningyi was going to break his promise, but that wasn’t the case now...
If Gu Ningyi found out, he surely wouldn’t be happy, right? If she annoyed him again, that would really be bad.
What should she do?
