Chapter 849: Chapter 703: Liked You From the First Glance 44
"When the anesthesia wears off, you’ll still feel pain. Burns are the hardest to endure. Did you take leave from school?"
Linma reached out to tidy up the stray long hair around her temple, looking at her with pity, "The student who burned you, hasn’t come to see you?"
Jian Dan chuckled, "Linma, no need, it wasn’t intentional. I rushed over myself, carelessly bumped into him. He probably feels like a victim too."
Linma sighed without saying a word, and after a long pause, she said slowly, "With your kindness, why do you often run into such troublesome situations?"
Jian Dan was speechless.
Probably just bad luck.
"Oh, right Jian Dan, I told sir, he said he’d come over in a bit."
Jian Dan: "... Uncle Qin is coming over?"
"Yes, he’s coming. Mr. would like you to stay in the hospital. At least you can call the doctors anytime and take care of your injuries. Your arm needs time to recover. During this time, I’ll be here with you."
"Thank you, Linma."
"No need to thank me. Fortunately, your ward has a kitchen, making it convenient for me to make you soup. You need a good supplement to let the wound heal faster."
"Don’t overdo it, getting too fat isn’t good."
Linma: "... Impossible, if you get fat, you can lose weight later. During this period, you’re not allowed to be picky about food."
Jian Dan: "..."
Feeling that this injury is unjust, but she couldn’t bear to reject those who care about her, "Alright, I’ll listen to Linma."
"That’s a good girl, take a nap, and I’ll peel an apple for you to eat."
"Linma, you should rest for a bit too."
"I know, I know, you hurry and sleep."
Under Linma’s company, Jian Dan fell into a drowsy sleep. She felt she needed a good rest after a day of shock and forgot that Bo Qin would be coming over. In fact, she had been asleep for less than twenty minutes when Bo Qin arrived at the ward.
At that time, Linma had just washed the fruit. She initially wanted to peel the apple, but considering how quickly it oxidizes, she thought she’d wait until Jian Dan woke up and wanted to eat it. Linma put the fruit down and opened the door for Bo Qin.
Bo Qin walked in and saw Jian Dan’s arm, red and shiny, exposed outside the blanket. His eyebrows furrowed slightly, and a subtle feeling of annoyance rose inside him.
Linma briefly explained the situation to him. Bo Qin frowned and sat on the chair by the window, "Stay here and take care of her until she’s discharged. I have to go on a business trip tomorrow, and keep me updated on her condition anytime."
"Yes, sir."
By the time Bo Qin left, Jian Dan was still asleep. Bo Qin waited for a while, seeing she showed no signs of waking, he couldn’t bear to wake her up, so he left quietly.
As he left, from behind, he looked quite forlorn. Linma couldn’t understand the dynamics between them anymore. They seemed like a couple, not related by blood, and from Linma’s perspective, there’s nothing wrong if they were together. She raised Jian Dan, and her thoughts weren’t hard to guess.
What’s hard to guess was Bo Qin, but after a few observations, Linma thought Bo Qin probably wasn’t without feelings for Jian Dan either. He could probably accept it, but why he doesn’t must be due to his own concerns. Linma wasn’t in a position to ask, nor dare to ask.
When Jian Dan woke up and heard from Linma that Bo Qin had visited and left while she was still sleeping, Jian Dan inexplicably felt a sense of relief in her heart.
Linma looked at her with amusement, "You used to like seeing Mr. didn’t you? Why are you now so afraid to see him like a mouse seeing a cat, can’t run away fast enough."
Jian Dan laughed, "Linma, it’s not like you don’t know, I like him."
Linma sighed, sat down by the bed, and gently moved her stray hair behind her ear, "You’re so stubborn. I think Mr. doesn’t entirely lack feelings for you either. If you persist a little longer, maybe you’ll succeed?"
Jian Dan was indeed tempted for a moment, but reason quickly pulled her back, and she shook her head, "Linma, it won’t happen. If he could really be moved, he wouldn’t have kept it hidden for two years without contacting me."
Linma was momentarily speechless: "..."
Young people’s feelings sometimes are just too complex, they don’t even know how to proceed to the next step. This is what makes it difficult for outsiders like them watching.
In the afternoon, when Lai Wei and the others finished their classes and returned to the ward, they saw the plate of fruit that Linma had peeled. They each gave Linma a hug. Zhao Linlin was particularly lively, "Linma, I like you the most. Every time I see your excellent knife skills, I envy you."
Linma was overjoyed by their compliments, busily handing over the fruit plate, "Quick, have some, don’t be shy, there’s more in the fridge."
