69. Chapter 69
April didn't wait long before Li Yu's phone called, he said on the phone that he had arrived downstairs in the hospital, and April asked him to wait first, and she would come down immediately.
After hanging up the phone, April looked at Xia Bai apologetically, "Xia Bai, I'm leaving, I'll come back to see you tomorrow." β
"Why don't you let your boyfriend come up, just let us get to know each other." Who knows, Xia Bai suddenly gave such a mention.
April was stunned for a moment, and intuitively said: "No, when I invite you to dinner with him in the future, I'll introduce you to each other." β
Xia Bai didn't do much pestering here, just nodded and told her to pay attention to safety on the road.
After leaving in April, Xia Bai looked at someone who had been silent, and when her eyes fell on the bare apple, she smiled dumbly, and after a long time, she stretched out her hand and pointed at the apple, raised her eyebrows and said, "This is the apple you peeled?" β
Gu Qingyan looked at the apple that had been peeled and only the core remained, threw the apple into the trash can with a calm face, and said casually, "I'll peel another one for you." β
Xia Bai shook his head and slowly retracted the smile on his face. Maybe it was because she knew that there was no longer a possibility between her and Gu Qingyan, but her heart fell into practice.
"Qingyan, what do you think of April's boyfriend?"
"What do you think?" The man picked up an apple again, as if he had competed with it, his lips pursed into a straight line, and his eyes fixed on the skin.
Xia Bai sighed secretly, thinking that Gu Qingyan would not say anything about it, but he suddenly said in a deep voice: "Her boyfriend is not very good, Lin April will definitely not be happy with him." β
As if to convince himself, he emphasized again: "Definitely." β

April got into Li Yu's car, and the two didn't say anything all the way.
When he arrived at home, April put away the suit that Li Yu had taken off, and said casually: "Have you eaten dinner?" β
Li Yu was stunned, lowered his head in disguise, and said, "Well, I have eaten it in the company." β
April narrowed her eyes and didn't say anything, but walked to the bathroom to put bath water for Li Yu. Li Yu followed behind her, a trace of guilt and uneasiness hidden in the depths of his eyes, and he was even wondering if April knew something.
Surprised by his sudden thought, Li Yu blinked lightly and asked tentatively, "Has anything happened recently?" β
"Nope." April replied calmly, bending down and probing the water temperature with his hands.
The sound of rushing water echoed in the bathroom, and there was a brief silence between the two.
Li Yu's hands placed on his sides clenched into fists slightly, retracted and released, a somewhat struggling move.
Finally, he stepped forward and put his arms around April's waist from behind.
Caught off guard and was hugged into her arms, April's body stiffened for a moment, and she smelled the unique warm breath of Li Yu's body between her noses, she gradually relaxed her body, tilted her head slightly and asked, "What's wrong?" β
Li Yu shook his head, did not speak, but rested his chin on April's right shoulder, as if he wanted to rely on this hug to determine something.
April didn't get an answer, so he fell silent, his heart beating a little slowly.
After a long time, Li Yu opened his mouth again, and his voice was a little hoarse: "April, I have something I want to tell you." β
At that moment, April's heart fell silent, she didn't speak, just waited quietly, waiting for him to say what she had foreseen.
"I'm ......" Li Yu opened his head, was silent for a moment, and changed the topic: "I miss you." β
April's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she cast her eyes on the clear waves of water in the bathtub, and the curling heat blinded her eyes.
"Am I not right next to you?" The whispering words flowed out of April's mouth, and Li Yu shook her head slightly, her hair rubbing against her headphones, and there was an itch.
The man smiled astringently: "I don't know what's going on, I've been thinking about you a lot lately, when I'm walking, and when I'm working." β
April straightened her upper body, and Li Yu's hand was immediately withdrawn from her waist.
"What a stupid thing to say?"
There was a faint sigh and helplessness in the woman's words, and Li Yu's gaze fell fixedly on the bottom of her eyes, but she could only see the white mist inside.
He smiled and didn't argue, April raised his hand to pin the hair on his cheek to his ear, and looked up at him: "You take a shower first, I'm out." β
This time, Li Yu didn't make a sound, turned sideways slightly, and let April pass by him.
It wasn't until her back was hidden behind the door that his eyes dimmed and silently withdrew his gaze.
Early the next morning, after April sent Li Yu out, he stayed in the house for a while. I don't know what's wrong, obviously I've been living here for a while, but she suddenly feels that this room is a little unfamiliar. After sitting in the house for a while, she went to the kitchen, took a portion of the cooked nutritious porridge, and took a taxi to the People's Hospital.
When he arrived at the ward, Xia Bai had already woken up, holding a book in his hand.
Seeing April, Xia Bai raised a faint smile and nodded at her, "April, you're here." β
"Hmm." April stepped forward and carried the insulated box in his hand, "Have you had breakfast, I brought you one." β
"Wow, you're so nice April." Xia Bai's eyebrows were crooked, and his eyes were staring straight at the thermos box.
In fact, she had already eaten breakfast, but after all, it was April's intention, so she pretended not to have eaten.
The porridge was still warm, and April carefully served a bowl to Xia Bai.
"Can you eat it yourself? Do you want me to feed you? She was worried that Xia Bai was still unwell and couldn't take the initiative to take the chopsticks.
Xia Bai put the book in his hand on the bedside table, and April glanced at it, and the title of the book was "Meeting the Unknown Self".
"No, I can do it myself." After that, Xia Bai took the initiative to stretch out his hand towards April.
April handed the porridge to Xia Bai, and then sat on the chair opposite, compared to yesterday, Xia Bai's face was obviously much better, and his eyes had a different look.
During the porridge drinking, the two didn't say anything to each other, and when the bowl of porridge bottomed out, Xia Bai burped and boasted: "April, your skills are so good, much better than the skills of the hospital chef, whoever marries you in the future must be very happy." β
In the last sentence, I heard different people say to her in April, but she is almost thirty, and the person who can marry her has not arrived.
April took the bowl in Xia Bai's hand, and when he was about to clean up the insulated box, Xia Bai suddenly reminded from behind: "April, there is still porridge in the insulated box, I still want to eat it in a while, can you leave the insulated box here." β
"Of course." April did not doubt him, and covered the box of the insulated box.
April spent a morning with Xia Bai in the hospital, and it was almost noon when she took the bus back. Xia Bai left her in the hospital to eat, but April just shook her head and said that there was something going on at home.
What she didn't know was that as soon as she walked with her front foot, Gu Qingyan came to the hospital with her back foot.
also prepared a nutritious and hearty lunch for Xia Bai, Xia Bai ate two breakfasts in the morning, and his stomach was a little supportive at this time, and he was not sensitive to the lunch brought by the man.
Gu Qingyan was not reluctant, only said that it was the same if she ate when she was hungry.
When he put the food box in his hand on the table, his eyes fell on the old-fashioned thermos box on the side. Although he had already guessed something in his heart, he wanted to pretend to be casual and looked at Xia Bai slightly.
"Has someone brought you lunch?"
His voice was still indifferent, and he couldn't hear anything.
Xia Bai also followed his example, and replied nonchalantly: "Oh, this is the breakfast brought to me in April, I can't eat it, so I let her put it here first." β
"When did she leave?" The man's body spontaneously moved to the side of the insulated box, and after a few fixed glances, he reached out and opened the box.
"It wasn't long before I left."
Xia Bai looked at him from behind him, and Gu Qingyan's figure who heard her answer seemed to pause slightly.
She let out a deep breath and added, "If you're going to chase it, it's still too late." β
As soon as the words fell, the man quickly answered: "I don't have anything to do with her, what to chase." Not too pleased with the answer, he sneered softly.
Xia Bai knew his awkward personality and didn't break it.
Gu Qingyan also seemed to feel bored, and put all her attention on the rice porridge in the thermos box.
It's just an ordinary chicken porridge with a series of ingredients such as chicken, corn, chives, etc., and it's not very special.
After staring at it for a few moments, he didn't look back and said, "I haven't eaten yet, so I'll take these porridges first." After speaking, he didn't wait for Xia Bai to answer, so he picked up an empty bowl and scooped a full bowl of porridge for himself.
Xia Bai looked at it on the bed with a little smile, but he didn't say anything in the end.
Gu Qingyan didn't sit down, and stood directly aside, holding the bowl of chicken porridge steadily with her slender and white fingertips. His action of drinking porridge can be called elegant, his movements are unhurried, and he eats the porridge in his hand in an instant.
He slowly soothed the wrinkles between his eyebrows, well, this porridge tastes pretty good.
He craned his neck and looked in, and only the last bite was left, and he didn't waste it, he ate it all.
When he turned around, Xia Bai was staring at him with an inquiring gaze, and he didn't know how long he had been looking behind him.
Gu Qingyan's eyebrows remained unchanged, and he commented lightly: "The material of this thermos box is good, and the porridge is still hot." β
Sure enough, it's a duplicitous guy.
Xia Bai didn't realize until now that Gu Qingyan also had such a naΓ―ve and awkward side, and he was always quiet and unfathomable in front of her.
Thinking of this, Xia Bai's eyes darkened slightly, but he heard Gu Qingyan say in that room: "Xia Bai, will Lin April come over tomorrow?" β
"I don't know, she didn't say." Xia Bai quickly came back to her senses, and at the man's unclear eyes, she swallowed her saliva, and suddenly said: "Qingyan, I'm going to get married in April, if you like her, it's still too late." β
"Nope." The man shook his head, "All of you say I love her, but why I don't know. β
