One Thousand One Hundred and Fifteen Are You in Love? (Part 2)

"If someone else fell, would you have saved him?"

"Don't ask such a stupid question. I'm neither a superman nor a hero." The implication is that he would not help. He is not good at being a hero.

"Then why did you only save me?"

No matter how slow Tang Jifeng was, he found that this little thing was particularly wrong tonight. Finally, he closed the file and looked at her face seriously, "What's wrong with you?"

Ye Lan stood by the bed, looking at him from top to bottom, with a bit of persistence in her clear eyes, "Why did you only save me?"

Not getting an answer, he asked again.

Tang Jifeng looked at her face for a long time, and then his eyes gradually withdrew from his usual gentleness and became serious, "Lan Lan, don't ask questions that you know the answer to."

"I don't know. I'm asking you because I don't know. I only know that you are good to me, especially good. Except for my brother and my father, no one else treats me as well as you do."

"It's simple. I treat you well because I treat you as my own sister."

Ye Lan's breathing became heavier. She didn't say anything, but continued to stare at him stubbornly.

"You know best what the relationship between your brother and I is. If I had a sister now, your brother would still take good care of her. Besides... Lanlan, if I can't even protect you, how can I explain to your brother when he comes back?"

In fact, every word he said was fine and reasonable. However, when Ye Lan heard it, he felt like his heart was hit hard by someone, and it hurt dully and was particularly uncomfortable.

"So... what you mean is that if it weren't for my brother, you wouldn't be so good to me. Today, you wouldn't save me."

"I can't answer this question for you. But, Lanlan, you must always remember it-" Tang Jifeng clenched the documents in his hand, his expression became much colder, "I have always had only the feelings of a brother to a sister for you. I hope you don't think too much. And... if I have made you have any misunderstandings before, I apologize to you, and in the future... try to avoid it."

Thinking too much?

Misunderstanding?

Try to avoid it?

Is this... to cut off the relationship with her? Just because she asked a few questions like this, he was in a hurry to cut off his relationship with her! How afraid was he that she would get entangled with him?

Ye Lan only felt a sharp pain in her chest.

A layer of chill seeped out of her heart.

She took a deep breath, but her chest still felt like it was stuffed with a ball of cotton, making it difficult for her to breathe.

Tang Jifeng couldn't look at her like this. His eyes moved away from her face and fell back on the documents. He pretended to be indifferent and said, "Go back, it's time to sleep."

"Yes, I should go back..." Ye Lan chewed these words softly, his body tensed, and he turned around with his chin raised stubbornly. However, after taking just one step, he turned back and said, "I'm not imagining things, nor do I have any misunderstandings about you. The reason I asked you so many questions just now is because... because I'm worried that you will have some thoughts about me... Anyway, I'm not what you think. Also, I already have a brother, and I don't need another brother. In the future, don't be nice to me anymore, I don't need it!"

After saying the last word, Ye Lan's eyes suddenly turned red.

But she just sniffed and stubbornly swallowed the bitterness back. Without stopping for a step, she quickly opened the door and walked out of the ward.

Looking at the back, Tang Jifeng's body tensed up a little. Until she left, even the sound of footsteps could no longer be heard, his eyes were still on the direction she left, and he was absent-minded for a long time without moving away.

This little girl...

Will she really...?

Thinking of this, Tang Jifeng smiled bitterly again, thinking that he was too self-indulgent. Moreover, damn it, why should he have expectations that he shouldn't have?

He is so much older than Ye Lan, and has such a rich love history, how could he really think that this little girl has that kind of feelings for him? If it was true, the two of them would not have to wait until now.

He shook his head, turned the file, and wanted to continue reading. But this time, he was completely distracted.

I don’t know why, I couldn’t read a single word. For a long time, my mind was filled with Ye Lan’s last angry and resolute words, ‘Don’t be nice to me anymore, I don’t need it’...

It’s really a good no need~

————

Ye Lan didn’t sleep all night.

The next day, when she was about to be discharged from the hospital, she didn’t want to pay attention to Tang Jifeng’s ward, but her steps stopped unconsciously.

She didn’t knock on the door, but just stood on tiptoe and looked inside. The ward was empty, and he was not there.

Where did he go?

“Miss Ye, are you looking for Master Tang?” At this moment, the attending doctor’s voice suddenly sounded.

Ye Lan came back to his senses, looked at the doctor in a white robe opposite him, and shook his head, "No, I won't look for him..."

After a pause, he couldn't help but ask, "How is he, when can he be discharged? Is there any big problem?"

"No big problem. However, Master Tang was discharged early this morning."

Ye Lan was stunned, "He... has been discharged?"

"Yes. Miss Ye also knows that Master Tang's family has never lacked good doctors. So, there is no need to stay in the hospital for long."

Ye Lan was stunned on the spot.

A circle of loss emerged in his heart. He was discharged... He didn't even say hello, and just left silently.

Last night he said that he would try to avoid her misunderstandings in the future, and he started to avoid them now?

If this is true, it is too heartless.

Ye Lan walked out of the hospital in a daze, feeling empty in her heart, as if a piece was missing.

"Miss!" As soon as she walked out, the driver of the Ye family appeared at the door of the hospital in time, "Are you okay? You didn't go home all night, and the housekeeper was very worried! I received a call from Mr. Tang this morning and found out that you were in the hospital! What happened? Are you fully recovered now? Are you... "

"I'm fine." Ye Lan interrupted the other party's more nagging words. She got into the car weakly and sat in the back seat, "Go back."

The driver got into the car and looked at her in the rearview mirror. He thought she looked quite abnormal. He asked worriedly: "Miss, I think you look very bad. If you are not fully recovered, why don't we stay in the hospital for two more days?"

"..." Ye Lan ignored him directly, and his eyes fell on the window in a daze. The driver had to shut up, drove the car quickly, and went back. At worst, let the family doctor take a closer look!

——————

In the next few days, Ye Lan found that Tang Jifeng really seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth. Not to mention phone calls, there was not even a single message of condolence.
