two

If you are not feeling well, take a rest for a while. I will go get something to eat and come back later. He made a gesture of reassurance and Jingxi nodded before pushing open the door to the room

I will change her clothes first and then talk to you later. " The doctor, who has a good relationship with the Jing family, waved his hand, " You go and bring the clothes she needs to change into.

There are indeed reasons of one's own, right? Jingxi, standing at the door, leaned against the wall, and unconsciously, the image of Lin Xiangnan's stubborn face and her entire figure collapsing flashed through his mind. He clasped his hands around his arms, adopting a cross-armed posture, waiting expressionlessly for the door beside him to open.

You must hate me, right? Lin Xiangnan asked with a question, "Why are you willing to help me?" This refers to more than just teaching English.

The feelings of aversion and resistance in my heart have reached a certain point

A boy's strength only reveals itself at such critical moments, as Jingxi pulled her onto his soft bed, inadvertently catching a glimpse of the girl's pale face leaning over, which still evoked a sense of reasonable heartache.

Perhaps it was discovered a long time ago

At that moment, the scene reflected in the foggy car window, the indifferent gaze suddenly softened.

When the doctor left, he gave Jingxi an expression that seemed to say, "Everything is up to you." Jingxi stood quietly not far from the bed, feeling a sudden emptiness in a certain part of his heart. He had originally picked up his phone to make a call, but halfway through the motion, he withdrew his hand.

It is hard to imagine that she actually perceived his dissatisfaction, and instead of enduring it in silence, she responded with a somewhat forced sense of justification.

It seemed to be a habitual action; after the doctor's hand briefly rested on Lin Xiangnan's forehead, she quickly withdrew it. She hesitated for a moment, clearly in a difficult position, and said, "You go out first"

Jing Xi once remembered Lin Xiangnan's gaze, which was a profound loneliness

He knows little about her past, defining her merely as the daughter of his stepmother, with no news for ten years. Upon learning that his mother is in a favorable situation, he decided to follow her here

Even though he comes from a privileged family, the seventeen-year-old boy's slender and beautiful fingers, in addition to playing the piano, can also prepare relatively presentable simple dishes. This is the difference with Jingxi

It is uncertain whether the confrontation between two individuals with cold personalities truly constitutes a tragedy. In the midst of Jingxi's contemplative reverie, the moment Lin Xiangnan fell, the dull thud of his impact with the ground, "bang," salvaged the awkward scene.

It's fine, I don't really like you at the moment. I don't dislike you either; I just want to care about you after unintentionally learning a bit about your past.

Until the sky turned completely overcast, transforming into a mysterious deep black, until the lights of thousands of homes illuminated, until the infusion bottle was completely empty, Jingxi carefully tore off the tape that was stuck to Lin Xiangnan's hand, quickly withdrew the needle, and then reattached the tape. The patient lying in bed finally regained consciousness

It was an exceptionally special day; aside from the heavy snowfall, what made it even more unique for Jing Xi was that it was the day he would bring an unfamiliar girl back to the Jing family.

Those deep and shallow scars gradually revealed themselves before Jingxi, some appearing as bluish marks left after a collision; others resembling scars from sharp instruments; and some were clearly fresh wounds, still unhealed.

This is my room, Jing Xi said softly, her tone no different from the beginning

Her room is also near her own room. Lin Zhizhi had long arranged for a nanny to help her procure all the daily necessities. Jing Xi casually pulled out a pure white cotton nightgown from the light pink wardrobe and turned around.

Is it too cold? Are you frozen to the point of being dazed? Or do you mean to say that you are eager to rush to a warm place

Hmm? Jingxi, who was standing by, was taken aback by such a response

Knowing the exact arrival time of the train, yet deliberately arriving late. Aware that I have a somewhat petty mindset, but who can genuinely be kind in such matters

How is that possible

The nanny has taken leave to attend to some matters at home these past few days, and now there are only the two of them in the entire house, thus I have taken on the important responsibility of caring for her

Hello! The beautiful female doctor opened the door, her exquisitely made-up face filled with doubt. "You are not abusing her, are you?"

With this thought in mind, he got out of the car and paused for a few seconds at a distance not far from her, still confirming, "Are you Lin Xiangnan?"

Everything happened after she fainted

Besides this vanity and desire for a good life, what else could there be

When Mu Mu wiggled its tail and rubbed against Jing Xi's leg, he was still in a daze. In the spacious living room, there was an indescribable heaviness on his delicate profile. He patted Mu Mu's head and then hurried towards the kitchen

It was just like that. Jingxi recalled the scene from the first day Lin Xiangnan arrived in Beicheng.

"It is malnutrition, excessive fatigue without proper rest, excessive stress, and having caught a cold, now she is in a state of fever." The doctor standing beside Jingxi seemed to ponder, "Moreover, she just got her period, as for these on her body..." She gestured in the air with her finger, specifically referring to those scars, her tone becoming significant, "This girl, her life is truly not easy."

Originally, I intended to ask Uncle Hui to go, while I would stay at home. However, at the moment the car was about to start, for reasons unknown, after a few seconds of contemplation, he turned away from the floor-to-ceiling window, stepped outside, and, assuming the demeanor of a host, opened the car door and took a seat inside.

Lin Xiangnan first moved slightly, then cautiously opened her heavy eyelids. The white light projected from the ceiling made her feel a sharp pain in her eyes.

By the clear and bright floor-to-ceiling window, the light brown and white checkered curtains gently flutter before settling back into stillness. The setting sun, almost sinking, still domineeringly casts its light on Lin Xiangnan's pale face, devoid of color. Occasionally, the long eyelashes in slumber may twitch slightly, causing the blurred shadows to become restless as well

Even though we had never met before, I could tell at a glance that the girl crouching in the snow, hugging her shoulders and shivering, was Lin Xiangnan

The beautiful doctor came over with the medicine box in just a quarter of an hour, casually rolling up her sleeves as she asked, "How did this happen?"

Watching Lin Xiangnan tightly clutching the blanket and curling up with a vigilant expression, Jing Xi's cold, frost-like face raised a question in her heart: what on earth had he experienced to feel such a profound lack of security

Including after returning home, seeing her at a loss, he merely conveyed the matters that Yang Zhizhi and his father had entrusted to him. He has always been a lukewarm child, and his attitude towards this matter was simply one of indifference. To be able to reach a level of tolerance where he does not dislike her enough to bother with her is already a form of forbearance to a certain extent

At first, Jingxi thought she was joking, until she walked in and saw Lin Xiangnan with his eyes tightly closed, dressed in a nightgown that left his arms and calves exposed, which made her gasp in surprise

I am not very clear about the specifics, it could be... The scene of Lin Xiangnan holding himself in the snow suddenly flashed through my mind, "Could it be a cold?"

It is truly curious what has caused the originally cold-faced Jing Xi to undergo such a subtle change in attitude

This position just happens to allow a view of the collarbone revealed by the first button of his unbuttoned shirt

Her gaze unconsciously fixed on Lin Xiangnan's distinctly defined hand, as the glucose and anti-inflammatory solution from the hanging IV drip slowly dripped into the bloodstream, thereby producing the so-called chemical reaction

No one is like the girl in front of me

The slender girl across hesitated and turned her head, the snowflakes on her long black hair subtly melting. It seemed that after standing still for too long, she wobbled to her feet, and without feeling embarrassed, she sniffed her nose, which was red from the cold. Her gaze was even colder than his, accompanied by a desperate attempt to conceal a trace of panic hidden deep in her eyes

When the boy saw the girl's determined expression, he rarely managed to let out a faint smile. In close opposition, he seemed to realize that this girl, as Yu Zhe had said, was quite special

At first, Jingxi did not react until Lin Xiangnan's frail body lay motionless on the ground. Frowning, he quickly ran down the stairs.

Where is this?" Upon clearly seeing the blurry figure in front of him was Jing Xi, Lin Xiangnan instinctively wanted to sit up immediately

I am. "Just this one sentence," answered cleanly and succinctly, and then without even confirming who he was, he laboriously got onto the car.

However, the conflicting emotions prevented him from treating the girl well, so the guilt that arose was quickly dispelled, and he continued to observe coldly.

Having grown for seventeen years in a privileged environment, he is surrounded by proud princesses who are pampered, and roses kept under glass, unable to withstand even the slightest setback or lack of attention
