Chapter 1911: Truly Misleading the Youth

Wei Yangyang sighed at length and said gloomily, "My mom originally went to the flower shop outside the Hospital to buy flowers, but she ended up having a great conversation with the shop owner."

"Has your mother been chatting until now and still hasn't returned?"

No, it's even more ridiculous than that!

"While chatting, the other party introduced a flower expo. Today happens to be the last day, and my mom felt it was a rare opportunity, so she went to see the exhibition."

This reason made Li Xingyan fall silent.

After a moment, he asked, "Having been gone for so long, who is there to take care of you?"

"I don't really need care right now; my body has mostly recovered, and I estimate that it won't be long before I can be discharged."

Wei Yangyang is currently wishing upon every star and moon, just hoping to be discharged.

Staying in the Hospital every day, she feels so bored.

But Li Xingyan said, "You are a patient after all; you still need someone to stay and take care of you. If you find yourself without anyone around next time, you should..."

Li Xingyan had wanted to recommend himself.

But fearing it would be too abrupt, he changed his words on the spot: "Call Tiantian."

"Ah, okay."

Wei Yangyang's response was laced with perfunctoriness.

Li Xingyan even sensed it.

He lowered his eyes and said nothing.

The hospital room fell into silence once again.

And this silence reminded Wei Yangyang: time to find a topic to chat about again!

Sigh, how exhausting!

Wei Yangyang sighed softly.

And at this moment...

"You should rest, I'm heading back first."

Li Xingyan's words made Wei Yangyang unable to help but purse her lips.

But she promptly suppressed the curve of her mouth and said with some regret, "Ah, leaving already?"

This was just a polite remark.

Wei Yangyang had already prepared to add, "Take care on your way."

However...

Li Xingyan turned his head to the side and asked, "Don't want me to leave?"

"Ah? Um... that's not it."

After saying this, Wei Yangyang realized her answer was terrible.

She was afraid it would make this petty man angry...

Yet in fact, Li Xingyan was not angry.

He even smiled slightly.

It wasn't a fake smile, nor was it ferocious; it was purely an instinctive reaction because he was in a good mood.

Li Xingyan did not notice it himself; he turned around, pushed the door open, and left.

Wei Yangyang, however, was startled by that smile.

Following that was confusion.

She wondered, he was clearly in a bad mood, so how did he end up in a good mood again?

And also...

Is Sun Qing still there?

Wei Yangyang hesitated for only a moment before tiptoeing to the door of the hospital room.

This time, it was very quiet outside the door.

Li Xingyan had also gotten into the elevator and left.

Wei Yangyang finally felt completely at ease.

Phew—

That was truly not easy!

Wei Yangyang let out a long breath.

Then, as she turned around, she saw the bouquet of flowers on the table.

Only now did she have the heart to look at it carefully.

Upon looking, she discovered that the lower part of the bouquet had been squeezed out of shape.

Heavens, just how angry was Li Xingyan at that time?

If Li Xingyan had heard this question, he would have told Wei Yangyang: very angry!

Li Xingyan hates having his plans disrupted.

Especially when disrupted by someone inexplicable.

And, that person had even almost seen...

Li Xingyan did not throw away that crumpled card.

Once he returned home, he carefully took it out of his pocket.

This was the first time he had written a card with such deliberation.

What a pity, it couldn't be sent out.

It was even left with lines of creases from being squeezed.

That mark was truly an eyesore; Li Xingyan pushed it with his hand, then prepared to find a flat, heavy object to press it down.

As for such a thing...

In the study, there were indeed a few super-thick dictionaries that were quite suitable.

Having determined his target, Li Xingyan went to fetch the dictionaries.

Afterward, he placed all three of them on top of the card.

Just then, someone knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Upon receiving Li Xingyan's permission, the person outside pushed the door open.

Then someone poked their head in.

It was Jiang Motian.

She first smiled at Li Xingyan, then said, "Mom made some sweet soup; I brought you a bowl."

"Mm, just put it there."

Jiang Motian placed the sweet soup on the table, but afterward, she showed no sign of leaving.

Li Xingyan couldn't help but raise his eyes to look over and ask, "Is there something else?"

"I feel like you're not in a very good mood today; is it because you're busy with work?"

"No."

"Then is it that you're not busy with work?"

There was a probing tone in Jiang Motian's words.

Li Xingyan sensed it, and since he didn't like beating around the bush, he simply asked, "What do you want to say?"

"It's just... um... that book I gave you, have you read it?"

"No time to read it."

Li Xingyan gave an answer that went against his heart.

And this answer made Jiang Motian let out a long breath, then she murmured, "That's good."

"That's good?" Li Xingyan asked uncomprehendingly, "What's good about it?"

"Although that book is not bad, it shouldn't be used indiscriminately. Since you haven't started reading it, naturally there's no possibility of using it indiscriminately."

Jiang Motian's explanation made Li Xingyan raise an eyebrow.

His expression unconsciously turned serious, and he asked, "What would happen if I used it?"

"If you don't use it well, it will make a girl feel repulsed."

"Then why did you give me this thing? Aren't you harming people?!"

Li Xingyan's reaction was somewhat intense.

Jiang Motian hurriedly explained, "But just reading it casually to get a feel for it is actually quite nice."

"Then it can't just be reading, can it? Doesn't one have to actually put it into practice? The sentences inside are clearly so good, why would they make someone feel repulsed?"

Having said this much, Li Xingyan stopped himself in time.

But stopping now...

It was too late!

Jiang Motian seized the loophole and asked, "You read that book?"

Li Xingyan did not speak.

"Not only did you read it, you also... put what you learned into practice?"

Li Xingyan still did not speak.

"... Brother, Yangyang hasn't blocked you, has she?"

This time, Li Xingyan reacted: "I haven't even given the card to her yet!"

This result made Jiang Motian heave a sigh of relief.

Immediately after, she looked at her brother in disbelief.

This brother of hers, who was like a stereotypical "straight man of steel," not only studied that book carefully but also put it into practice!?

The speed was too fast!

It was simply impatient!

Jiang Motian was secretly shocked.

And after the shock, she raised an eyebrow again and asked with a smile, "Brother, what did you write? Let me help you vet it."

Li Xingyan glanced over and cut off her train of thought directly: "Give up on that idea; I won't let you see it!"

Exposing himself by accident was already an oversight.

Li Xingyan would have to be crazy to let Jiang Motian see that card!

Jiang Motian felt some regret, but she didn't insist.

Afterward, her gaze landed on those dictionaries.

Seeing these dictionaries stacked together like building blocks, she said, "Why stack so many dictionaries? They're very easy to knock over."

As the words left her mouth, she reached out to spread the dictionaries flat.

But Li Xingyan pressed his hand down and said in a firm tone, "You cannot touch them!"

Uh...

It's just dictionaries; was it necessary for Brother to be so fierce?

Or could it be...

The card is right here?

This hypothesis made Jiang Motian eye these dictionaries covetously.

Li Xingyan also saw from Jiang Motian's gaze that he had exposed himself...

If he let Jiang Motian continue to stay, there was no telling what else she might dig up.

Therefore...

Jiang Mobai looked at her with a complex expression, but in the end, he said nothing and simply closed the car door in silence.
