The two of them came closer, and Xiao Su reached out to grab the blanket. Yan could feel the coolness from Xiao Su’s body when they were close. After picking up the blanket, his fingertips accidentally touched Yan’s. Compared to hers, his fingertips were as cold as ice. Yan’s fingertips were a little warm which was very pleasing.
She seemed to notice something and immediately retracted her hands. He was stunned and took over the blanket as if nothing had happened. Initially, she took two blankets, one for each of them. She did not want to have any interaction with Han Qing, so she just passed them both to Xiao Su and asked him to help her pass one to him.
“Do you need me to get you a glass of warm water from the room?” she asked.
Xiao Su rejected her offer after taking a glance at her skinny and weak shoulders.
“No, it’s fine. The blankets will do. It’s cold at night, so go back and get some rest soon. You should stay indoors.”
Yan did not say much since he had already said so. She only nodded before turning around and leaving. Since she came out, she did not even give Han Qing a single glance, nor did she have any interaction with him.
After Yan left, Xiao Su turned his head and glanced at the slender figure leaning over there. Half of his face was hidden in the shadows while his eyes were dark and unclear. His tightly pressed thin lips made his lower jaw look stern and powerful. Xiao Su was uncertain of his senses as he felt that Han Qing was covered with a layer of hostility. It was none of his business whether he was sensing it rightly or wrongly. After all, Han Qing was the one who rejected Yan.
Upon thinking about this, Xiao Su threw the blanket at him. Han Qing reached out to grab it expressionlessly.
“President Han, you should be happy with this since, from now on, she won’t be pestering you.” Xiao Su could not help but grill him after passing the blanket to him.
Honestly, he felt bad for Yan’s attitude deep down as it showed that she had not forgotten about Han Qing. If she no longer cared about Han Qing, she could just pass the blanket to him directly and leave. However, she did not even give Han Qing a look, which showed that she still cared about him very much. She mentioned she wanted to sort out her feelings during this period. However, Xiao Su knew better than anyone else that when you love someone… letting go was not as easy as one imagined.
Upon hearing the other’s words, Han Qing raised his deep eyes to look at Xiao Su as his thin lips were still pursed. It was as if his words were made of gold, and he did not reply. Won’t pester me anymore… She does look like she has been doing well since the last time we met.
Previously, she had greeted him as if nothing had happened. It was better now since she did not even bother to look at him. Han Qing suppressed all the emotions and expressions in his eyes. It’s fine like this. He closed his eyes while holding onto the blanket Xiao Su passed to him. There was a glimpse of heavy anxiety between his eyes.
Yan went back to the ward and saw that the two people inside were still wide awake after she closed the door. She smiled while walking to them. “The two of you haven’t slept yet?”
Little Bean shook his head. “I’m watching Mommy to prevent her from running around.”
Han Muzi was speechless at his words.
“Okay, you’ve found yourself a good excuse. Why don’t you just stay up all night and watch over her?”
“But Aunt Yan…”
“Fine, quickly go to sleep and don’t wander around anymore. Do you plan to wake up tomorrow?”
Little Bean took a glance at Han Muzi, then looked at Yan quietly. After that, he crawled into his bed and covered his blanket. Hmph, I’ll just go to sleep.
Han Muzi and Yan exchanged looks as they watched Little Bean go to bed.
“You’d better sleep early since you’re already pregnant. Don’t think too much. Young Master Ye will be fine when you wake up later.” Yan comforted her.
Han Muzi did not want them to worry about her. She used her hands to rub her eyes, saying, “Okay, I’m getting sleepy now. I’ll hit the sack. You’re right. Maybe he’ll be awake when I’m up.”
Time passed quicker when one was sleeping. It would be unbearable to stay awake.
The hospital was exceptionally quiet at night. Han Muzi kept hypnotizing herself. Her eyes were heavy, but she did not feel sleepy at all. She eventually fell asleep without knowing how long had passed. It was already the next morning when she heard noises. The sound of birds came from outside the window. A group of birds were chirping cheerfully on the big trees outside the hospital. It filled the lifeless ward with a trace of energy.
Han Muzi did not realize she had been so deeply asleep. She opened her eyes and realized that it was already shining brightly outside. I wonder what Ye Moxuan’s condition is now. Is he awake already? Upon thinking about this, she immediately removed her blanket and went to put on her clothes.
As her movements were probably too loud, she woke Yan up. She rubbed her eyes and sat up in a daze. “Muzi?”
Han Muzi looked at her and realized she was looking around in a daze as if she had forgotten everything that happened last night. She seemed to only remember something after observing her surroundings for a moment and wanted to immediately wake up but was afraid of waking Little Bean who was sleeping beside her.
Yan could only move cautiously while she slowly got out of bed and put on her sweater and jacket.
“What’s the time now?” Yan walked to Han Muzi after she dressed up and heard her ask. She then took out her phone to look at the time. “It’s 6:30am now. I’m not sure how the two of them were last night.”
Yan was initially worried, but she went to sleep because she was too sleepy when it was late at night. It was cold the entire night, so she was not sure how they were doing. “Muzi, you go get changed; I’ll go out to take a look.”
“Okay.”
Yan left hurriedly. She planned to take the shift as she was already awake while Xiao Su and Han Qing had already stayed up all night. After this, they should go get some rest while she would take over from them. Of course, she would still not talk to Han Qing. She would just inform Xiao Su later when she saw him and ask him to pass her message to Han Qing on her behalf.
Unexpectedly, Yan only saw a figure at the long bench along the corridor as she arrived. Handsome and cold—the figure was giving off an extremely calm aura. Han Qing.
She did not know where Xiao Su went. Seeing this, Yan gulped subconsciously and forgot everything she thought about just now. Since Xiao Su was not around, she might as well leave first. However… her footsteps had sounded when she walked over just now. If she turned around and left now, would it not be…
Yan remained on the spot due to hesitation. She stood at the same spot while looking at the man who was not far away from her. His figure and the side of his face were so familiar to her. It was this face that kept her tossing and turning in so many of her dreams. In the past, she would want to get close to him when she saw him and say a few words to prove her existence to him, but now… she was evasive, though, there was nowhere for her to escape to.
