Chapter 1907: Don't Have Too Much Confidence in Him

~7 min read 1,346 words

Li Xingyan was silent for a moment before saying, "When I smile at Wei Yangyang, she looks as if she's seen a ghost."

"Huh?" Jiang Motian asked, full of astonishment, "How could that be? How are you smiling?"

This...

It cannot be described in words.

Li Xingyan simply curled the corners of his lips to give a live demonstration.

Then, the two people opposite him fell silent.

Their silence caused the smile on Li Xingyan's lips to stiffen.

Afterward, the upturned arc slowly flattened, and Li Xingyan frowned and asked, "What kind of expression is that?"

Jiang Motian breathed hard to calm her emotions first, then retorted, "Brother, didn't you go home to practice earlier?"

"That's right, isn't that good?"

"It's not good, you look like you're about to claim someone's life!"

Jiang Motian's description...

Was too vivid!

Xie Wanyi laughed out loud upon hearing this.

Li Xingyan could not laugh; he still stared coldly at Xie Wanyi.

This time, it really did look like he was about to claim a life.

Jiang Motian hurriedly nudged Xie Wanyi, signaling him to restrain himself.

Otherwise, if her brother really flew into a rage, no one would be able to talk him down.

Receiving his girlfriend's hint, Xie Wanyi gave a light cough.

Then, as someone with experience, he offered a warm tip: "A forced smile has no warmth; it must come from the heart."

Come from the heart?

Li Xingyan recalled what he felt every time he smiled at Wei Yangyang.

Hmm...

It was nervousness, it was feeling at a loss.

His smile also seemed like it was just to complete a task.

It had nothing to do with being happy.

Also...

Li Xingyan frowned again, then muttered, "Yi Xiang is always getting in the way, how can it come from the heart!"

"Then just have Yi Xiang stop bothering Yangyang, wouldn't that solve it?"

"Hmph, you make it sound so easy!"

"I don't just make it sound easy, I can actually make Yi Xiang stop coming to the Hospital. And this method is simple and easy to execute, want to hear it?"

That, naturally... he did!

Li Xingyan was very expectant!

However, he did not show it, only nodding faintly.

Then, he heard Xie Wanyi say, "Find a way to give Yi Xiang a job opportunity that is hard to refuse, and make sure Wei Yangyang knows about it."

Li Xingyan could understand the first half.

But the second half...

Li Xingyan asked, "Why let Yangyang know too?"

"Because that way, even if Yi Xiang doesn't want to go, Wei Yangyang will persuade him. You tell me, once Yi Xiang is busy, how can he still be a third wheel?"

Xie Wanyi's idea enlightened Li Xingyan.

He said thoughtfully, "I can give it a try."

"Actually, you could have thought of this method yourself; it's just that your heart is in chaos."

Jiang Motian thought the same and added a summary: "This is what they call 'concern leads to chaos'."

If the Li Xingyan of the past had heard this, he would have scoffed at it.

He would have thought that 'concern leads to chaos' was just poor planning and not using one's brain!

But now...

He admitted that his heart was in chaos.

Yet he was not annoyed by this chaos.

Instead, his whole heart felt complex, apprehensive, expectant, both sweet and bitter.

In short, it was a very unfamiliar feeling.

But Li Xingyan did not reject it.

Just as Li Xingyan was silently sorting out his feelings, Jiang Motian thought of something.

She said, "Oh right, Brother, I passed by a bookstore today and thought this would be perfect for you, so I bought it back."

Jiang Motian wanted to bend over to get it.

But considering her hands were covered in mud, she had to lift her chin and say, "The item is in this canvas bag, get it yourself."

Li Xingyan found the canvas bag and looked inside.

Then, he asked uncertainly, "It wouldn't happen to be... the thickest one, would it?"

"That's right!"

"That looks like a dictionary, doesn't it?"

"Of course it's not a dictionary, it's... the Love Bible!"

Jiang Motian wore a mysterious smile.

Yet Li Xingyan felt a sense of resistance because of those few words.

But in the end, he still picked it up.

This book had a name, called "Love Collection".

Hmm...

It's not even as good as the Love Manual!

Li Xingyan furrowed his brows and asked Jiang Motian, "Why are you giving me this?"

"Read it more every day; it will subtly change your way of thinking. Don't be so stiff when interacting with girls."

"A superfluous act!"

Li Xingyan muttered in complaint.

But after thinking about it, he actually wanted to take it away along with the canvas bag.

Jiang Motian hurriedly said, "Brother, that bag..."

"To carry the book, otherwise it's heavy in my hand."

Li Xingyan carried the bag and left with peace of mind.

And only then did Jiang Motian realize in hindsight...

What heavy in his hand; he was clearly afraid of others seeing the book's cover!

Jiang Motian's face revealed helplessness.

Afterwards, she shook her head with a smile.

Xie Wanyi, who was beside her, had a look of worry on his face and asked, "Are you really giving it to him?"

"Why not give it to him? That book is really suitable for a beginner."

"But why do I feel like it's not quite suitable?"

"How could that be? Writing a love poem, sending an ambiguous message—aren't these all things he can use?"

"But if used poorly, it will seem very greasy. Are you sure that when Wei Yangyang sees something like a lyric poem, she won't just block your brother?"

Uh... this...

Jiang Motian said with uncertainty, "There are also non-greasy phrases inside. My brother is so smart, he should be able to discern them."

Xie Wanyi was not that optimistic.

He even reminded her, "Li Xingyan is slow-witted; it took him a long time to even realize he liked a girl. Are you sure he'll be able to discern them?"

Jiang Motian... was not sure.

She even started to panic: "Wanyi, don't scare me!"

"In any case, give him a heads-up."

Jiang Motian nodded repeatedly.

She prepared to find an opportunity to explain the usage method of that book to her brother.

"Alright, you don't need to be too anxious. With such a thick book, it will take your brother a few days to read it after he takes it back. Now, I need to continue making your gift."

Xie Wanyi was eager to try.

He believed that he would definitely succeed.

But Jiang Motian, who now had something on her mind, failed time and time again...

Inside the Hospital—

It was now noon, and Wei Yangyang took advantage of the fact that there were few people to walk slowly along the corridor.

Her condition was good today; the distance she walked was longer than before, yet she didn't feel very tired.

Since her condition was so good, she prepared to challenge herself and walk a bit further.

But suddenly, a strong scent of perfume emerged in the air.

That smell made Wei Yangyang feel a bit breathless.

She couldn't help but furrow her brows, while simultaneously quickening her pace, hoping to walk out of this fragrance-filled area quickly.

But... why was the smell getting stronger and stronger?

Wei Yangyang was feeling puzzled.

A woman suddenly blocked Wei Yangyang's path.

The other party wore a pair of thin, pointed high heels; her legs were straight and slender, and her knee-length skirt outlined a graceful figure.

Looking further up...

A bright-looking woman with long hair smiled at Wei Yangyang: "May I ask, are you Miss Wei Yangyang?"

"Ah, yes I am."

"I have long heard of your great name. I heard you were injured and hospitalized, so I came specifically to visit."

"Visit me? I don't have much fame; it shouldn't be necessary."

Li Beijue's expression darkened instantly, his deep eyes seemingly brewing with a storm.
