Chapter 1961: Stop Being So Self-Indulgent

Sun Qing still wanted to reach out and gently stroke Li Xingyan's shoulder.

Li Xingyan, however, stood up and dodged her.

Then he said coldly, "I am tired and need to rest; please leave."

Such coldness was more than Sun Qing could bear.

Her lips moved, and she asked sadly, "Xingyan, why must you keep people at such a distance? I only want to care about you!"

"But I don't need it, and don't you already have someone by your side who can keep you company?"

As he spoke, he looked toward Xin Ziran.

Seeing that Li Xingyan had misunderstood, Sun Qing hurriedly explained, "He is just my friend."

"She is right, I am her friend, Xin Ziran."

Xin Ziran was introducing himself.

He was still hoping to see some unusual emotion on Li Xingyan's face.

However, there was nothing.

This result made Xin Ziran lower his eyes slightly.

Li Xingyan could no longer be bothered to speak with those two.

He turned around and sat on a different bench.

Sun Qing wanted to follow him over.

But Xin Ziran grabbed her and shook his head.

Sun Qing was unwilling to give up, and she said in a hurried tone, "I finally found an opportunity!"

"But before you came, didn't you say that just seeing him would be enough?"

This reminder made Sun Qing purse her lips.

Sun Qing had indeed said those words.

But people are always greedy.

After seeing him once, she wanted to talk to him, and she wanted his eyes to hold her...

But after thinking so much, it was of no use at all.

Because Li Xingyan still kept people at a distance.

Sun Qing felt empty inside, and her shoulders slumped.

Seeing this, Xin Ziran advised, "Haste makes waste; let's go."

Sun Qing lifted her feet, but she walked slowly.

And after only a few steps, she stopped.

Sun Qing swept away the gloom from her face just a moment ago, and instead said with bright, sparkling eyes, "Xingyan... is he jealous!?"

"Jealous?" Xin Ziran laughed out loud and said, "Don't be silly."

"I'm not being silly! Think about it, a woman who always circles around him suddenly has a protector by her side one day... wouldn't he feel jealous!?"

Sun Qing felt her deduction was perfectly reasonable!

But Xin Ziran shook his head helplessly.

He thought to himself that this woman was truly a hopeless romantic!

He turned his head, wanting to knock some sense into this hopeless romantic.

But at that very moment, Xin Ziran caught a glimpse of a figure.

This discovery made him narrow his eyes.

Then he said with an intrigued expression, "Do you want to see how Li Xingyan reacts when he faces a girl he truly likes?"

"What do you mean?"

Xin Ziran did not explain; he simply pulled Sun Qing to hide in the shadows and signaled for her to look to the side.

When Sun Qing looked over...

Wei Yangyang?

At this moment, Wei Yangyang was carrying two large bags in her hands.

Seeing Li Xingyan sitting on the bench, she walked over quickly and then placed the bags on it.

Li Xingyan shifted to the side to make room.

Once there was space on the bench, Wei Yangyang quickly sat down to rest.

These two bags were truly heavy.

Wei Yangyang could not help but rub her arms.

Li Xingyan was curious about what was in the bags, so he leaned over to look, and then he asked, "Did you go shopping?"

"Not exactly, I just happened to pass by a bakery. Their bread is especially delicious, and they happened to be having a promotion, so I bought a bit more."

"You didn't just buy 'a bit more' at all."

Uh...

Wei Yangyang blinked, then smiled and said, "I couldn't control myself for a moment, but it's fine, everyone can share it."

As she spoke, Wei Yangyang began to calculate in her heart how to divide it up.

"Which bread is for me?"

Li Xingyan wanted to confirm, so he could take it out and have a taste.

But Wei Yangyang asked in return, "You want some too?"

These words...

Clearly, she hadn't counted him in at all.

The light in Li Xingyan's eyes vanished in an instant.

His voice also grew faint: "It's fine if you don't give it to me."

Wei Yangyang used to be very afraid of Li Xingyan being fierce with her.

But she recently discovered that Li Xingyan putting on such a pitiful look... was also very terrifying.

It had even made Wei Yangyang feel guilty!

To make up for it, Wei Yangyang hurriedly said: "I didn't say I wouldn't give it to you, I was just worried you wouldn't like it."

"Anything you give me, I like."

"Is that so," Wei Yangyang ignored the ambiguity in his words, then pushed the bag forward, "then you pick first."

Wei Yangyang felt that, after all, Li Xingyan was a patient, so he had priority.

And Li Xingyan didn't stand on ceremony; he picked and chose, selecting five or six items.

It was just that what he chose...

Wei Yangyang couldn't help but ask with a smile: "How come everything you picked is what Tiantian loves to eat?"

Li Xingyan had clearly picked them according to Wei Yangyang's preferences.

Then, by leaving the bread in the hospital room, Wei Yangyang could eat it when she came.

But he had overlooked one point: Jiang Motian and Wei Yangyang's preferences were very similar.

So, was Wei Yangyang about to say...

"You really are such a good brother!"

Li Xingyan had predicted correctly.

But he didn't feel happy.

He looked at the woman beside him and sighed: "You certainly understand Tiantian's preferences clearly."

"Of course, we've known each other for so many years after all."

"We've also known each other for many years, so do you know my preferences?"

This...

Wei Yangyang hesitated for a moment, then gave an answer: "You like working."

"That's very correct, but what else?"

What else...

Like himself?

No, no, no, that answer is too shameless; Wei Yangyang couldn't say that.

But if she didn't say that, what should she say?

Wei Yangyang was conflicted.

Li Xingyan answered for her instead: "I also like working out."

"That's right, I forgot about that."

Wei Yangyang suddenly realized, though she felt relieved inside.

Li Xingyan curled his lips into a smile and then said: "Once I'm discharged, I'll continue working out."

"There's no need to be so urgent, you can wait until your body is a bit better."

"I can't; if I stop working out, my physique will go out of shape. Once my physique is out of shape, how can I attract someone's gaze?"

As Li Xingyan spoke, he stared at Wei Yangyang gloomily.

Wei Yangyang opened her mouth, wanting to deny that she was such a shallow person.

However, Li Xingyan hadn't named any names, so why should she confess without being asked?

But if she said nothing... it seemed like a tacit admission.

Sigh, what a dilemma!

While Wei Yangyang was lamenting, she accidentally choked on her own saliva.

Seeing her coughing non-stop, Li Xingyan even helped pat her back.

Then he asked helplessly: "What were you secretly thinking about to scare yourself into a coughing fit?"

"I, I wasn't thinking about anything."

"Dummy, you should have answered that you were thinking about dividing the bread."

Oh, right...

Wei Yangyang opened her mouth to speak.

But when she looked up, she saw Li Xingyan's smiling eyes.

It was very obvious that Li Xingyan was just teasing her on purpose.

And he had succeeded in teasing her; Li Xingyan was in a very pleasant mood!

Wei Yangyang, however, was completely speechless.

The Li Xingyan from before wasn't this bored!

What kind of twisted sense of humor is this now!

Wei Yangyang gave a light "humph," then said: "Forget it, we'll divide it when we get back."
