Chapter 1897: I Know You Like Her

Wei Yangyang felt that whatever Yi Xiang was about to say was definitely not something she wanted to hear.

So she chose to refuse.

And such a refusal made Yi Xiang even more disappointed.

But he did not force the issue; instead, he very considerately helped Wei Yangyang lie down properly.

While tucking the quilt around Wei Yangyang, he discovered that something had been drawn on her wrist.

"What is this..."

"A watch that child drew for me."

"It's drawn a bit ugly; I'll add a few strokes to it."

Yi Xiang was serious; he was looking for a pen.

But Wei Yangyang stopped him, saying, "Don't mess around, you aren't a child anymore."

These words successfully stopped Yi Xiang.

He even muttered in a low voice, "I am indeed not a little kid anymore."

After saying this, Yi Xiang completely abandoned his previous childish behavior and instead took out a wet wipe, intending to help Wei Yangyang wipe off what was on her wrist.

The wet wipe was a bit cold, and when it touched Wei Yangyang's skin, she instinctively flinched.

Yi Xiang was very attentive; he noticed this small detail, stopped his movements immediately, and even said, "I'd better use a warm towel."

"It's fine, just leave it like this."

"It's not fine, wait for me a moment."

This time, Yi Xiang did not listen to Wei Yangyang and went to get a warm towel anyway.

The warm sensation was much more comfortable.

Moreover, when Yi Xiang wiped it, he was careful and gentle.

At this moment, he didn't look like a "puppy-dog" type anymore, but rather a gentleman with a lot of poise.

Watching him, Wei Yangyang made an evaluation: "I think your style is quite versatile; when you take on work, you could try different styles."

"Alright, I'll listen to you, Sister."

"Since you're listening to me so well, then go back in a little while."

Yi Xiang's movements stopped.

Then he looked up, aggrieved, and asked, "Why do you always want to drive me away?"

"I'm not driving you away, it's just that..."

"You want to draw a line between us, don't you?"

That was what Wei Yangyang was thinking in her heart.

But if she said it directly, it would be very hurtful.

So Wei Yangyang said tactfully, "You don't need to do these things for me; your enthusiasm actually makes me feel burdened."

"Sister doesn't need to feel burdened; this is all what I should do. Let me stay; this way, I can have a little less guilt."

Huh?

Guilt?

Wei Yangyang was completely bewildered listening to this.

But Yi Xiang was serious; he lowered his eyes and said with a face full of self-reproach, "That day, if you had gone straight to work, the car accident wouldn't have happened..."

The reason Yi Xiang gave made Wei Yangyang fall silent.

Actually, Yi Xiang's words were only half right.

If Wei Yangyang had gone straight to work, she indeed would not have encountered the car accident.

But that she ended up in it was not because of Yi Xiang...

Just as Wei Yangyang was lost in thought, Yi Xiang suddenly realized something.

He even asked, "That road isn't one you would take to work either, so how did you..."

"Oh, I was helping someone else buy something, so I took a detour."

Wei Yangyang made up a reason at random.

After she finished speaking, she added a summary: "So you see, it has nothing to do with you; it's fate."

"But I don't believe in that, and you don't either, Sister. If you don't believe in it, you can live a long life."

"You... this is self-deception."

After Wei Yangyang finished speaking, she suddenly felt her arm being pinched by someone.

This pinch didn't hurt, but it made Wei Yangyang knit her brows.

The culprit, however, had a look of righteous indignation: "It's not self-deception, you really can live a long life!"

Yi Xiang said it very seriously, and in his eyes, there was stubbornness.

Such a side of him made Wei Yangyang concede, and she said, "Fine, fine, fine, I'll live longer than a tortoise."

This one sentence made Yi Xiang change from stubborn to helpless.

Wei Yangyang suddenly discovered that teasing him until he was helpless was actually quite fun.

It's just that she didn't know if he would fly into a rage once he reached the peak of helplessness.

Wei Yangyang was thinking about the answer silently, while Yi Xiang suddenly said with a playful reproach, "Sister is so bad!"

These words successfully gave Wei Yangyang goosebumps.

Then, Wei Yangyang suddenly realized: Yi Xiang was counterattacking; he was trying to drive her to helplessness!

Sigh, in this regard, Wei Yangyang felt inferior.

Wei Yangyang started to laugh.

Her smile was very calm.

When that girl left just now, the hospital room door was not completely closed.

A gap was left.

Li Xingyan looked through that gap and saw Wei Yangyang's calm smile.

That smile was peaceful, yet it caused a fine, fragmented pain in Li Xingyan's chest.

Li Xingyan had not intended to go in when he came here.

But watching the two of them acting so intimately...

He could not quite control himself.

"Yo, finally willing to show up?"

A teasing voice suddenly came from behind, causing Li Xingyan to immediately hide all the emotions on his face.

Then he turned his head to take a look.

Jiang Motian walked slowly to Li Xingyan's side and also glanced into the room.

Then she commented: "These two, they're always like this, bickering and fooling around."

Jiang Motian was lying, but Li Xingyan did not know; at this moment, he involuntarily clenched his fingers.

Yet he stubbornly said: "What does that have to do with me?"

"Then why did you come here?"

"Passing by!"

After Li Xingyan finished speaking, he lifted his foot to leave.

But Jiang Motian called him to stop and asked: "Do you know why Yi Xiang is able to stay by her side?"

This question successfully made Li Xingyan stop in his tracks.

He did not know the answer, so he remained silent, waiting for Jiang Motian to answer.

Jiang Motian did not keep him in suspense; she said directly: "Because he is very passionate, and his way of expressing emotions is very direct."

"If he likes someone, he likes them; if he wants to care for them, he does. To a woman, this represents stability and a sense of security."

"By comparison, belittling and denying will only make people want to avoid you."

Jiang Motian's analysis was simple and direct.

It also made Li Xingyan see the gap between himself and Yi Xiang.

Jiang Motian hoped that after hearing this, Li Xingyan would have some realization.

Who knew, Li Xingyan continued to be stubborn: "This has nothing to do with me."

"You... sigh, Brother, you really are a case study of your own words."

Jiang Motian said helplessly, then dropped another bombshell: "Do you really not feel your own heart for Yangyang?"

Li Xingyan felt it.

But to have it pointed out to his face by his younger sister...

Li Xingyan acted as if he had been scalded, and he turned and walked away!

Jiang Motian knew that after saying this, her brother would definitely have an intense reaction.

Either a rebuttal or a mockery.

But she never expected... the option of him running away!

Jiang Motian's temple was throbbing, and she raised her hand to press it.

At the same time, she told herself that since her brother chose to be a coward, she would not care about his affairs in the future!

But the harsh words had just fallen when Li Xingyan actually circled back.

His coming and going made Jiang Motian's mood rise and fall as well.

"You..."

Just as Jiang Motian was about to say something, Li Xingyan spoke first to warn her: "You are not allowed to tell anyone about this, including Xie Wanyi!"

"That's too late; Wanyi has already figured it out."

"Is it... that easy to figure out?"

Jiang Motian nodded.

"Then Wei Yangyang..."

"Oh, you can rest assured about that; the psychological trauma you caused Yangyang is very deep, so she probably hasn't even thought in that direction."

Jiang Baobao looked at the man in front of her, her heart feeling as if it had been pricked by a needle.
