CHAPTER 210: CHAPTER 210: YOU NEVER UNDERSTOOD ME

Tan E left.

He didn’t reveal a word regarding Gu Ningyue’s questions.

Moments later, Lin Ruixian on the bed slowly awoke under the nurse’s needle.

Gu Ningyue sat alongside, her mind uncertain, not knowing what she was thinking about.

After the nurse left, Lin Ruixian looked at Gu Ningyue and said, "What’s wrong with you? Why do you suddenly look like you’re about to collapse?"

Since last night, Gu Ningyue’s mind had already become a mess, and with Tan E’s appearance just now, she felt even more at a loss.

She had always thought that her difficult-to-handle partner had liked her all along?

He might have even noticed her existence before becoming partners.

This matter simply left her dumbfounded.

Gu Ningyue looked at Lin Ruixian, thought for a long time, but swallowed that question that was on the verge of coming out, "Tan E was just here, he returned your phone."

Upon hearing this, Lin Ruixian noticed the phone placed on the table, which had run out of battery: "I don’t know what you’re thinking, but you’ll age like this!"

"Alas, too bad, the charger is at the hotel."

Gu Ningyue watched Lin Ruixian muttering to himself, got up and looked at him saying, "You stay here and get your infusion! I’ll go back and get the charger for you, and buy some food on the way."

Glancing at the clock on the wall, Lin Ruixian realized it was almost twelve o’clock.

His stomach grumbled twice, he looked at Gu Ningyue and said, "Alright. I want Shui Zhu Yu (poached spicy fish)."

Gu Ningyue glared at him: "Do you not know your own condition and still want to eat spicy? Let’s talk about it when you recover!"

As she talked, she got up and left the ward.

"Hey, Mala Tang without spice wouldn’t be bad either..."

Gu Ningyue ignored his call, closed the door, and strode out of the hospital.

The brilliant sunshine hit her body, Gu Ningyue exhaled a long breath.

She returned to the hotel to tidy up Lin Ruixian’s clothes, took two chargers, and packed some boiled chicken soup along with some side dishes back to the hospital.

On the way back, she walked briskly. Even in broad daylight, she started to fear Heimu people would find her because of last night’s dangerous circumstances.

Although the chance was very small, she couldn’t help but feel some panic.

After rebirth, she’d become less brave than before.

She’s always afraid of this and that, which is quite like her original self.

Gu Ningyue shook her head, no, it’s not right, she is the fearless Gu Weiwei, how can she be influenced by someone’s world?

Returning to the hospital, she pushed the door open and saw Lin Ruixian gnawing on a banana: "Hey, where did you get the banana?"

Lin Ruixian gave a grin: "A little nurse brought it to me just now."

Gu Ningyue: "...Even in your condition, someone still looks at you differently?"

If she were the one stabbed, hospitalized, she wouldn’t have any good feelings towards such a person.

After all, who knows for what reasons?

Lin Ruixian snorted proudly, "This young master is handsome and charming, what, are you envious?"

Gu Ningyue raised the corners of her mouth, "I think there’s nothing about staying in the hospital worth envying. Get up! I bought chicken soup for you."

Moreover, just relying on her current appearance, several doctors passing by were already stunned, she doesn’t need to envy Lin Ruixian.

As soon as the words fell, Gu Ningyue’s phone rang.

——It’s Shen Hanyin.

She answered, and realized she was a bit nervous: "Hello?"

Shen Hanyin asked, "What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Gu Ningyue shook her head: "No. Why the sudden call? Did something happen?"

"No!" Shen Hanyin’s voice sounded rather bright: "Those people couldn’t find a chance and disappeared again. I wanted to invite you for afternoon tea, so I called to see if you were available."

Gu Ningyue sighed with relief: "That’s good! But I’m not available today, I have some things to take care of, I’ll contact you when I’m free in a few days."

Shen Hanyin was silent for a moment: "Um, I met Ling Tianyou today, at the entrance of our performance theater."

Gu Ningyue was stunned, "And then? Did you say hi?"

"No." Shen Hanyin seemed very conflicted, unsure if she should say it: "I actually wanted to meet you to talk, but you..."

Listening to Shen Hanyin’s hesitant voice, she seemed to have understood: "Ling Tianyou, was he watching the performance with Chen Rui?"

Hearing Gu Ningyue’s question, Shen Hanyin just lightly responded with a ’Mm’.

But just that ’Mm’ felt like a needle piercing Gu Ningyue’s heart.

Although not fatal, it still made her heart ache terribly.

Perhaps sensing Gu Ningyue’s emotions, Shen Hanyin comforted, "Maybe it’s because of work. After all, the Ling and Chen families have been working together. Chen Rui just returned from abroad, catching up could be understandable. Their behavior seemed normal, like ordinary friends. Shouldn’t be a problem..."

Gu Ningyue’s mouth curled into a cold smile, "Han Yin, there’s no need to find excuses for him. I’m fine!"

Ling Tianyou, Master Ling, would he please people for business, inviting them to watch performances? Even Mr. Chen only had tea once.

Shen Hanyin sighed, "Ning Yue, why don’t you move back? It’s not going well like this!"

Gu Ningyue shook her head, glanced at Lin Ruixian on the bed: "Let him be! Those who want to leave cannot be retained!"

Shen Hanyin sighed again, her voice full of regret: "Then make sure to find me when you can, don’t keep it to yourself."

In her most difficult times, it was Gu Ningyue who cared for her.

Now that things have become like this, she certainly wouldn’t sit idly by.

"I’m fine." Gu Ningyue forced her voice to be lighter: "By the way, Ji Zhiye hasn’t bothered you again, has he?"

Mentioning Ji Zhiye, Shen Hanyin changed her tone, spoke hatefully: "Don’t mention him, bad luck. Seeing that I don’t pay attention to him, and someone is always secretly with me, he doesn’t dare do anything to me either. Now, it seems he’s already found a new target..."

Listening to Shen Hanyin’s complaints, besides ’regretting’ there were no more emotions left.

It seems, this time she really let go.

Surely, there’s no wound in the world that time can’t heal.

After hanging up the phone, Gu Ningyue turned to meet Lin Ruixian’s smiling gaze on the bed: "Didn’t expect you to have friends. I thought even after your rebirth, you’d still be as solitary as before, not letting others in."

Gu Ningyue was silent for a moment: "Then it can only mean you’ve never understood me."

Just like she’s never understood him, Lin Ruixian never truly understood the past Gu Weiwei either.

If he did, perhaps until her death, he would remain her partner.
