"If I say, I can explain the situation...... You probably won't listen, will you?"

"That's right~wrong!"

Zheng Xiujing stretched her face very seriously, nodded solemnly, and had to say that with the gauze wrapped around her head at this time and the blue and white hospital gown she was wearing, she looked a little happy.

However, if you look closely, you will notice the way she looks at someone and the corners of her lips that always want to turn up from time to time.

A trace of irrepressible joy can be felt at a glance just by looking at the expression on her face.

Looking at the girl in front of him who seemed to be sitting cross-legged on the hospital bed in good spirits, Han Yu let out a long sigh in his heart.

The situation that was already about to end was disrupted again! Annoyance and headaches were inevitable.

But Han Yu didn't have time to pay attention to the figure who was still sitting in the corner of the ward, let alone calm down to think about how everything happened just now and why this guy Jin Peter appeared.

Now, he just wants to try not to make his previous efforts completely in vain.

Some things, since they have been decided and ruthless, then they will be done to the end.

Knowing that going on like this is a bad ending, whether it is for his own considerations or for her sake, he shouldn't be soft-hearted for a while.

"Xiujing. ”

didn't hesitate for too long, and after seriously thinking about it for a while, Han Yu straightened his face and looked up at Zheng Xiujing again: "No matter what you think of my gaffe just now...... I feel like I should make it clear to you again. Yes, that's right, I remember a lot of things about us, and those memories, I admit, are precious to me, so I don't want to destroy them. Xiujing, to be honest, the relationship between us is not like a so-called lover or a lover, but more like a brother and sister, isn't it?"

When he said this, he didn't want any meaningless hope in the girl's heart.

But what he didn't expect was that after listening to his words quietly, Zheng Xiujing blinked at him and asked an unexpected sentence: "It's more like a brother and sister, so didn't you just say the wrong thing OPPA?"

“…… Did you say the wrong thing?"

Subconsciously frowning, Han Yu looked at Zheng Xiujing with no abnormality on her face, and tried to ask, "What did you say wrong?"

"Even if it's just a relationship with relatives, it proves that OPPA, you have feelings for me in your heart, don't you?

Suddenly.

"Wow, tsk, we're Ermao, this girl is amazing~~"

His face suddenly stiffened slightly, ignoring the other playful voice in the ward that only he could hear, Han Yu frowned and stared at Zheng Xiujing, and continued: "...... So, so what? Even if it's 'like', it's the kind of love OPPA has for her sister, and it's not at all what Xiujing imagined. ”

"That's enough! ”

Zheng Xiujing once again gave a surprising answer, her eyes seemed to suddenly light up with a dazzling light, she stood up from the hospital bed slightly, and looked directly at the stunned Han Yu: "As long as there is a foundation of feelings, I will not have any confidence in the face of Yun'er Oni." Anyway, Leo, you're not my pro-OPPA! I'll always find a chance!"

"Ah, you're ......"

In an instant, even the dullest thinking finally understood the meaning of this girl. Han Yu suddenly stared at her, but when he opened his mouth, he didn't know what to say.

I don't know if the words I said just now under the influence of Jin Peter really made Zheng Xiujing rekindle her fighting spirit, or if this girl didn't plan to give up easily.

They all said it to this point.

Han Yu really didn't know how to persuade him to continue.

"What's the matter? Are you going to tell me now, OPPA, that what you said earlier was also a slip of the tongue? You don't actually treat me as someone close to me at all, and you don't have any feelings for me?"

Zheng Xiujing leaned back on the head of the bed, pulled the quilt on herself, and looked at his not-so-good-looking face curiously.

That look is similar to the sad look of crying when he was buried in his arms before.

It's like she got some kind of winning support, at this time, she looked very similar to usual, and there was a little undisguised pride and playfulness in her eyes when she looked at Han Yu.

If it weren't for the fact that this girl had only woken up for a short time, Han Yu really wanted to reach out and give her a solid head a look.

“…… No, you're right, I do love you. ”

could only say a word in a muffled voice, and immediately after, Han Yu frowned and pursed his lips, ready to say something more: "However, then I am ......"

"Alright. ”

As a result, before the words began, they were interrupted by a raised hand.

"OPPA, you just have to admit it!"

He wrinkled his nose very cutely, and there was a residual flush in the circles of his eyes, and his slightly pale face looked a kind of pity that I had seen.

"Don't say anything else! Don't say anything else! I'll take care of my own business! As long as OPPA you admit that you have feelings for me......"

With complicated eyes, she stared at this girl for a while, speechless.

In the end, Han Yu still sighed, shook his head and said, "Should I say that you girl has no heart and lungs, or is it really too tough? I know that it is almost impossible to succeed, why do I have to touch it, so that I may be hurt even more." ”

"Because it's you!"

A somewhat familiar answer came to my ears again firmly.

Looking intently, I saw a pale cheek on the hospital bed staring at me fixedly, like a delicate flower on an iceberg waving in the wind, proud and stubborn.

"No one else could have made me do this, and no one had ever been so humble...... It's just you, you're the only one in the world who can make me like this. As long as I can get even a little response from you, I will be very happy...... It's really like a fool. But what to do? In my heart, I am willing to do this like a fool. Also, didn't you say OPPA yourself? I still have a chance to succeed! Why don't you try? It's my life's work!"

I don't know why, at this moment, his mind suddenly recalled the words that Richard had once said to himself.

There are some roads that you don't want to take, so you can't take them. ’

"Really......"

"Huh, Leo, what did you say?"

"Nothing. ”

Shaking his head, he stared slightly distracted at the girl in front of him who was looking at him with some doubt, his gaze lingering for a moment on the clear eyes that stared at him and the layers of white gauze wrapped around her head.

Then, under the silent attention of the deep gaze from a corner of the ward, a silent word, whether intentional or unintentional, suddenly echoed in his heart.

'Every road I have traveled has led me back to you......

“Leo？”

There was another soft question in front of her, as if she had sensed something.

Han Yu took a deep breath, straightened up, shook his head at Zheng Xiujing, and said, "It's okay, it's nothing, it's just ...... Suddenly I seem to understand something. ”

"Oh......"

Looking at Zheng Xiujing's ignorant expression that although she didn't know why she didn't ask anything under her answer, Han Yu suddenly smiled for no reason, feeling that she was extraordinarily cute at this time.

"Come on, the timing isn't so right, but it might make you feel better. This one is for you. ”

Turning his head, he got up and took a high-end and exquisite paper bag from the side, handed it to Zheng Xiujing, and explained softly: "It's a birthday gift." ”

"Birthday present?"

Zheng Xiujing took the bag with a surprised face, and looked at him again, "My birthday is October." ”

"Yes. This is from last year. Didn't I stay in the hospital at the time? And I don't remember...... I used to give you a gift every year, but I didn't give it last year, so it's a bit unreasonable, isn't it?"

Listening to the explanation that seemed to be clear in his mouth, Zheng Xiujing blinked, did not speak, just silently lowered her head, checked the gifts in the bag, and revealed a sense of impatience between her movements.

"Oh, wallet?"

Opening the well-packaged box and taking out an elegant LV women's long wallet from inside, Zheng Xiujing raised her head and looked at him with a little surprise.

"What's wrong? disappointed? It was a valuable gift. ”

"It's not. Shaking her head very simply, Zheng Xiujing blinked at him, and looked at the wallet in her hand curiously, "It's just strange why you gave me this." In the past, when I was on my birthday, you didn't have time to come to see me, and every year someone would send me some very expensive jewelry, perfume, in fact, I didn't like that very much. ”

"Oh, yes, are you complaining about the gift?"

looked at this girl with some tears and laughter, and then Han Yu explained to her softly: "It's nothing, don't you girls like this kind of items?" I also saw Jessica before, and I can't get all kinds of ladies in her luggage. That's why I want to give you one too. But of course, it is better to give some gifts, compared to bags, backpacks and the like, I feel that there are fewer wallets, and I often use them, so I picked one for you. ”

Zheng Xiujing couldn't help frowning when she heard this, and looked at him: "Why did you say it well, you want to talk about Ernie?" Speaking of which, I haven't asked you two what bad things you two did when she hid in your house before!"

Wisely choosing not to ask what was bad, Han Yu looked at this girl angrily, and laughed: "No! Nothing happened! Okay, right? It seems that you yourself insisted on pulling the topic somewhere, right?"

“Hing~”

Wrinkled her nose, Zheng Xiujing fiddled with the brand-new lady's wallet in her hand, it didn't feel right, she opened the zipper easily, and then, a pair of eyes immediately widened, very cute.

"What is this, this, this?"

Seeing that after this brand-new lady's wallet was opened, there was a large stack of 50,000 won bills neatly stored inside, Zheng Xiujing looked at Han Yu in a daze, and even asked in a daze, "Did we take the wrong one?"

"It's pocket money. ”

With a smile on his face, looking at the cute girl in front of him, Han Yu's hand moved, as if he wanted to stretch out his fingers to scrape the bridge of her nose, but in the end, he still didn't lift it, but he still said to Zheng Xiujing in that relaxed tone: "Since you gave away the wallet, of course you have to be responsible for filling it." What, don't like it?"

"Not really!"

Quickly denied it, Zheng Xiujing shook her head vigorously, and then under someone's dumb gaze, she directly took out the stack of money in her wallet and counted it, looking at the movements, she was actually quite skilled.

"22 sheets, does it correspond to last year's birthday......

After counting, the girl muttered to herself, turned her head to meet his smiling gaze, and whispered, "If only it were a check......

“…… Oh, yes, why didn't you feel like you were so money-obsessed before? If it's a check, the money in it is more valuable than this bag. ”

"Isn't there a saying that the more expensive the gift, the more it represents the heart? It seems that Leo, your heart for me is only more than 1 million~"

With a look of disgust on her face, Zheng Xiujing confidently received the 22 banknotes into her wallet in front of him.

It's just that, having said that, when she carefully put the wallet back in the box, the unconsciously upturned corners of her lips revealed a bit of joy that was difficult to hide.

In fact, it has nothing to do with the value of the gift, the mere fact that he gave himself a gift is already worth making her happy.

"Eh, that's ...... to say"

Zheng Xiujing, who had just put the gift away, blinked, I don't know if she remembered something, she suddenly looked at Han Yu with a strange face, and said hesitantly: "How do I feel, we are like this...... Like I'm your adopted lover?"

'Poof......'

When he landed, not to mention the other laughter that sounded in the ward, even Han Yu opened his eyes wide, opened his mouth slightly, and looked at Zheng Xiujing, who seemed to be completely unaware of what he was talking about, without saying a word.

"Hey, hey, I'm serious......"

Being looked at by his daze eyes for a while, Zheng Xiujing couldn't help but lower her head and muttered quietly: "Isn't your current girlfriend Yun'er Oni......?"

"I'm OPPA's concern for my sister, okay?!"

Finally couldn't help Huo Di stood up, Han Yu glared at the girl, but there was a smile on his handsome face, and even he couldn't figure out whether he should be angry or laugh now.

What does this girl think about every day??

"So what are you doing!"

Slightly startled by his reaction, Zheng Xiujing puffed out her mouth aggrievedly, and glared back not to be outdone: "I'm just talking about it...... Besides, your little money is not enough to support me! No...... I'm not someone who can be supported with money casually! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't ......."

"Alright! Alright!"

Listening to this girl's words, Han Yu hurriedly stopped her, and said helplessly: "This strange topic, let's stop it, okay?"

"That's what I just thought of all of a sudden......"

As soon as she heard him say this, and then glanced at the expression on his face, Zheng Xiujing muttered in her mouth, and finally gradually became docile from that slightly fried appearance.

If her fans in the outside world see her like this in front of someone, they will definitely feel greatly subverted.

Where is this cold Krystal, she is a completely naïve girl!

"That...... Xiujing. ”

At this time, Han Yu, who was sitting back in the chair, whispered again.

"Huh?

There was a faint resentment in her voice.

"Looks like I probably won't be able to convince you right now. So I didn't plan on doing that annoying thing anymore. ”

Zheng Xiujing didn't say anything, just turned her head to look at him silently.

"But there's one thing I think I have to tell you right now...... That's – I don't really care about my own problems, I've always cared about you. You, you and Yuna. I don't want any of you to get hurt. So...... I can't persuade you now, but I want you to promise me something...... Be happy, and if you feel like you can't take it anymore, run away. ”

In a flash.

There seemed to be faint ripples in his eyes, and Zheng Xiujing looked at him in a daze.

"No matter what, you must live happily. In that case...... No matter what you do, OPPA doesn't care about you, because that's your own business, and I've always taught you to take control of your own life, and there's no reason why I shouldn't follow it. ”

"What if ......"

Zheng Xiujing suddenly spoke, she looked at Han Yu intently, her eyes were full of more serious inquiry, "What if, what if I did something bad to Yun'er Oni?"

"Would you do that?"

Unexpectedly, he replied directly.

Then, under her indescribable gaze, his eyes softened, and finally he raised a hand, reached over, and gently stroked her hair.

"OPPA believes in you, even if you want to hide and cry by yourself, you are not willing to vent your sadness on others, you and Yuna are both. So...... In the future, be sure to be happy. If, one day, I find you as sad as you are today. At that time, no matter what you say, I will not let you continue to be so willful. Since it is your own path, I can't interfere, but you can't interfere with my approach either. I always have a way to really get away from you. ”

What exactly was the method in Han Yu's mouth, he didn't say it clearly, and Zheng Xiujing didn't ask.

The two of them know each other how capable Han Yu is, even now that he has returned to South Korea, LJ Group no longer exists, in Zheng Xiujing's mind, Leo is still the omnipotent man he used to be.

Thereupon.

Faced with Han Yu's words, which were more like warning herself, Zheng Xiujing replied without thinking: "Okay! I promise you! but-"

She herself added: "Since you have said so, then I hope that even if you ignore me in the future, you will not avoid me, you will answer when you call you, and you will reply when you send you a message, otherwise you will make me feel that I am completely disturbing you, it will be really uncomfortable, okay?"

In this regard, Han Yu's reaction was also to nod without much thought and said, "Okay!"

"So. Zheng Xiujing raised a hand and looked at him.

He glanced at the white palm, then pursed his lips, and reached out with a hand, tapping it lightly.

"Agreed. ”

"It's agreed!"

In this way, after the high-five, the two of them were silent for a moment before they returned to their usual expressions and spoke again.

"By the way, Leo, I cut my hair short. ”

"I know, I've seen it a long time ago. ”

"I've seen you a long time ago and you still don't speak?"

"Who wouldn't see such a noticeable change? And what do you want me to say?"

"Ahh

"So what do you want me to ask? I don't think there's anything to ask. ”

"Hey......

"Hey, when did you learn to talk like that?"

"I've learned it a long time ago! It's the time you weren't with me!

“…… Pretty. ”

"Hmm...... Huh?"

"I said it's good-looking, new hairstyle, it's good-looking, okay?"

"I could hear a perfunctory feeling. ”

"Yikes. ”

"I know, I know, I reluctantly accept your evaluation......"

……

They were silent for a while.

She spoke again, "Leo." ”

"Huh?"

"Thank you. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Nothing. I remembered that I didn't thank you for the gift I received just now, this is etiquette. ”

Facing the puzzled gaze on his face, Zheng Xiujing shook her head lightly with a mysterious smile on her face, leaning quietly on the head of the bed, staring at Han Yu with crystal clear eyes, and in the depths of her eyes, an indescribable emotion was quietly surging.

Except for herself, I'm afraid no one can guess how much meaning this "thank you" contains.

She is thanking him for his care for herself, she is thanking him for always being so soft on herself, and she is also thanking the person she likes for at least having a place of her own in her heart.

And also......

She was thankful for his appearance in the year of her thirteenth birthday.

……

Thank you, Leo.

Thanks to you, I've liked it for years.
