Chapter 1898: Such a Rigorous Style

~7 min read 1,380 words

The explanation Jiang Motian gave did not put Li Xingyan at ease; on the contrary, it made him feel quite stifled.

Just a moment ago, he had truly wanted to walk away.

He had even let that impulsive emotion carry him off.

However, he stopped in front of the elevator entrance.

Then he returned the way he came.

It was fortunate that he did return, otherwise Jiang Motian really would have let go and stopped caring.

At this moment, seeing that her brother was still salvageable, Jiang Motian said earnestly, "Honestly, if you can't change yourself, I don't support the two of you."

Li Xingyan habitually wanted to say something cold and harsh.

But the words reached his lips, and he swallowed them back down.

Jiang Motian continued, "Of course, whether Yangyang chooses you or not is uncertain; after all, no matter how I look at it... she doesn't seem to like you."

After saying this, Jiang Motian felt Li Xingyan's expression dim visibly.

Jiang Motian also realized that she shouldn't have been so blunt.

Her brother had gone to great lengths to visit, so she shouldn't just keep hitting him while he was down.

But speaking of the visit...

Jiang Motian asked in confusion, "Brother, why did you only come to see Yangyang now?"

"Actually... I met her at the Hospital before."

"When?"

"It was the day she got into the car accident. At the time, she was lively and acting like nothing was wrong. I was even angry with her and yelled at her..."

Li Xingyan did not finish his sentence.

He found it hard to continue.

Jiang Motian couldn't listen any further either, and she frowned as she questioned, "Is that the attitude one should have toward someone who just experienced a car accident?"

"It shouldn't be; that was a jerk move."

Li Xingyan was actually self-reflecting.

This left Jiang Motian, who had been prepared to launch a verbal attack, stunned.

Li Xingyan continued, "What's even more of a jerk move is that I didn't notice anything unusual about her, and I even walked away from her..."

As he spoke, Li Xingyan closed his eyes.

His pain was revealed in the corners of his eyes and brows.

In this instant, Jiang Motian understood her brother's feelings.

So, he was blaming himself.

Jiang Motian patted Li Xingyan on the shoulder and said, "Don't talk about your eyes; even the doctor's eyes couldn't tell. She had internal bleeding, and it was only detected after using equipment."

She was trying to comfort Li Xingyan.

But Li Xingyan did not feel any better.

He lowered his gaze and muttered, "Yangyang could have avoided the route where the accident happened; it was because she wanted to drop me off that she took that road."

"What?!"

Jiang Motian had no idea there was such an inside story. Upon hearing it, she was first shocked, and then she couldn't help but want to complain a little.

But looking at Li Xingyan's dejected appearance...

Jiang Motian felt she shouldn't add fuel to the fire.

Besides, the matter had already happened; dwelling on the cause was meaningless.

It would be better to look forward.

Jiang Motian adjusted her emotions and urged Li Xingyan, "You can't deliberately distance yourself from Yangyang just to punish yourself, or the two of you will have absolutely no chance."

"But can Wei Yangyang forgive me?"

"She probably hasn't even thought of you much, so how could there be talk of forgiveness?"

Jiang Motian had been comforting Li Xingyan all day.

But the effect...

It was more heart-piercing each time.

Jiang Motian also felt she hadn't performed very well today.

She coughed lightly and decided to stop comforting people.

Instead, she gave specific behavioral guidance: "Brother, you just think too much and do too little. If you really want to make amends, just be nicer to Yangyang and stop keeping such a stiff face."

"Then I... will try."

Jiang Motian hadn't expected her brother to be so receptive to advice; she was taken aback herself.

But...

Why was her brother leaving!?

Jiang Motian turned her head and hurriedly asked, "Where are you going?"

"Going home to practice how not to keep a stiff face!"

Li Xingyan's answer was very much in line with his style.

Thoroughly rigorous.

It was just... wasn't that a bit too rigorous?

Wouldn't it be better to go straight into the ward and practice in reality?

Jiang Motian was speechless.

She withdrew her gaze and looked back into the ward.

I saw that Yi Xiang was already peeling an apple for Wei Yangyang.

Look at that, this is the gap.

Jiang Motian suddenly felt a bit weary at heart.

Fortunately, Li Xingyan did not dawdle for too long this time.

The next day, he went to the Hospital again.

Before seeing Wei Yangyang, he had already practiced countless times in front of the mirror.

He believed that when he saw Wei Yangyang again, he would definitely not startle her.

However...

Before Li Xingyan had even entered the patient room, he was shocked to see Wei Yangyang in the hallway, walking while holding onto the railing!

This made Li Xingyan turn pale with fright; he walked over quickly and said sternly, "What are you doing!"

Because he was anxious, Li Xingyan's voice was even fiercer than before.

Wei Yangyang was successfully startled.

She did not expect to run into Li Xingyan, so she froze for a moment before responding, "The doctor said I could walk a few steps."

"Then just walk inside the patient room; there are people coming and going out here, what if you get bumped into!"

"But I've been in the patient room all these days, so when I got the chance, I wanted to come out for some fresh air."

"A day or two won't make a difference for fresh air, don't be willful!"

"... That's not really being willful, is it? Hey, I know what I'm doing, but you, what are you here for?"

"I..."

That's right, what was he here for?

To visit a patient!

Why did he act so fierce toward Wei Yangyang the moment they met?!

Li Xingyan was very annoyed, feeling that he was truly beyond saving!

Wei Yangyang, however, looked at Li Xingyan with suspicion and uncertainty.

She had watched with her own eyes as the expression on Li Xingyan's face changed back and forth.

This was truly strange.

And what was even stranger was...

Li Xingyan actually raised his head and smiled at Wei Yangyang!

This smile almost sent Wei Yangyang over the edge!

No, this person is too weird, I must stay away from him!

Wei Yangyang turned around and left.

Li Xingyan was very worried about her, so he nagged from behind, "Slow down."

"No, I can't go slow!"

Just as Wei Yangyang was taking small, quick steps back, someone walked out of her patient room.

It was Wei Mama.

She had just gone to the restroom, and when she came out, she couldn't see anyone.

Now, as she poked her head out, she happened to see her daughter.

... And Li Xingyan behind her daughter.

But the way Li Xingyan was acting at this moment, why did it look so much like he was protecting a little baby who had just learned to walk?

Wei Mama walked over suspiciously and greeted Li Xingyan, "It's Xingyan."

The appearance of her mother made Wei Yangyang stop to catch her breath.

Li Xingyan then politely greeted the elder, "Hello, Auntie, I came to see Yangyang."

"Yangyang is doing quite well; look, she's even exercising."

As she spoke, Wei Mama said to Wei Yangyang, "Stop practicing for now, go back to the patient room and chat with Xingyan."

"But I... still want to practice a little more."

"You've only just been able to get out of bed, walking for this long is enough; too much is as bad as too little."

Hearing Wei Mama's words, Li Xingyan also said, "Take it slow, don't try to become a fat man in one bite; let me help you back."

What, Li Xingyan is going to help her?!

Wei Yangyang couldn't handle that.

She quickly dodged toward the inner side of the wall and said, "No need to help, I can walk by myself."
