Chapter 130 Confession?
Chapter 130 Confession?
Bai Mengfei felt from the bottom of her heart that she no longer needed to go back to school.
Moreover, she really disliked the school environment. The thought of facing those energetic and spirited young students made her feel resistant, so she chose to remain silent.
Xiang Yuntian sensed Bai Mengfei's thoughts and understood how unwilling she was.
But out of concern for Bai Mengfei and for the long term, he turned his head, gazed at Bai Mengfei's still childish face, and said earnestly, "Promise me, Mengfei, go back to your studies."
Bai Mengfei bit her lip secretly, her heart filled with conflict.
Right now, Xiang Yuntian is lying in the hospital bed, unable to move. How could she bear to refuse his request?
"Okay, I'll try my best to go back and integrate into the group."
After biting her lip and thinking for a while, Bai Mengfei finally felt that Xiang Yuntian's wishes were more important, so she nodded gently and agreed, "However, could I wait until you have fully recovered before I leave?"
Bai Mengfei had already made a concession, so Xiang Yuntian went along with her and nodded in agreement: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
……
From then on, Bai Mengfei devoted herself wholeheartedly to taking care of Xiang Yuntian's daily life in the hospital.
From diet to daily care, and even helping him with trivial matters such as urination and defecation, they took meticulous care of him.
Xiang Yuntian was, after all, just a young boy, and it was inevitable that he would feel shy in the face of such meticulous care.
Bai Mengfei, however, felt there was nothing wrong with it, after all, her mental age was far beyond that of ordinary people, and she had the maturity of someone in their thirties.
You should be able to maintain a calm attitude towards these things and think that they are all perfectly normal.
However, upon seeing this scene, Jiang Shuai couldn't help but examine it with a slightly teasing attitude, and said with a smile, "Judging from this situation, Zhang Ting will have no choice but to become your wife, right?"
Xiang Yuntian's face instantly turned bright red, and he lowered his head in embarrassment, offering no response.
Bai Mengfei rolled her eyes at Jiang Shuai, then picked up the cloth she had been using to wipe Xiang Yuntian's body and said, "I told you to go buy some food, and you're already rambling on as soon as you get back. Be careful, or you won't get any food later."
"That's perfect, I really can't get used to these ordinary dishes."
As Jiang Shuai said this, he actually put down the food and pretended to leave: "Hehe, I'm leaving first, I won't disturb you two enjoying your sweet time together."
Hearing Jiang Shuai's words, Bai Mengfei felt as if her heart was being warmed by sunshine.
However, she is, after all, a girl, and it's inevitable that she would be shy.
After Jiang Shuai left, she sighed softly, let out a long sigh, and said to Xiang Yuntian, "That annoying guy is finally gone."
Xiang Yuntian smiled slightly and suddenly said, "Actually, although what he said was straightforward, I think it makes a lot of sense. Will you be my girlfriend in the future?"
Faced with Xiang Yuntian's sudden confession, Bai Mengfei felt as if her breath had stopped.
In an instant, she felt her face burning hot, and she became completely at a loss, not knowing how to respond at all.
She quickly turned her head, then turned around, pretending to fiddle with the cup, though she didn't really know what she was doing.
But she knew in her heart that she was moved. The intense pounding of her heart made it hard for her to breathe, and she could no longer deceive her own heart.
"I...I'll go wash the cup."
After saying that, Bai Mengfei hurriedly fled, avoiding Xiang Yuntian's questions.
Actually, she was just too embarrassed to say "let me think about it," but the fact that she didn't directly refuse meant there was still hope.
Xiang Yuntian misunderstood her meaning, thinking that Bai Mengfei's reaction was a tactful rejection of him.
Both of them had their own thoughts, but neither dared to easily break the ice.
Xiang Yuntian sat quietly alone on the hospital bed, looking up at the white ceiling.
Sunlight streamed through the windows into the ward, illuminating every corner.
A particularly bright ray of light shone into a glass containing a little water, which then reflected the warm sunlight onto the wall, making the entire wall shimmer with light.
The interplay of light and shadow is breathtaking.
On such a peaceful afternoon, surrounded by such a beautiful environment, Xiang Yuntian's heart naturally felt a sense of tranquility and comfort.
Bai Mengfei, who was standing in the entrance hall at that moment, also felt this beauty.
She could feel that her beloved was sitting there safely, and that was enough for her.
She subconsciously turned her head slightly, her gaze falling on the inside of the ward, because her heart was completely there, and all her attention was focused on Xiang Yuntian.
After standing there for a while, she felt it wasn't appropriate to just stand there, so she took her cup and went into the ward. Deep down, she was prepared for Xiang Yuntian to press her for more questions.
She also made up her mind that if Xiang Yuntian asked her to date him again, she would temporarily agree to let their relationship take a step further.
However, because of the previous misunderstanding, when Xiang Yuntian saw her come in, he put the cup on the bedside table and just stared at her longingly, but did not make the request he had just made.
Xiang Yuntian was a shy person and embarrassed to speak again, so the two of them tacitly remained silent.
"Alright, let's eat." Bai Mengfei tried to break the silence and gloss over the awkwardness with a single sentence.
After saying that, she opened the lunchbox for Xiang Yuntian and almost fed him as she had done before.
In her heart, Xiang Yuntian was like a simple big boy who needed her care.
"No...no need, I can do it myself." Xiang Yuntian was somewhat flattered by her gesture.
Bai Mengfei then sat down, picked up her lunchbox, and began to eat.
During the meal, Xiang Yuntian wasn't good at finding other topics to talk about, so he brought up the case with her again.
"Was he the one who committed the serial murders?" Xiang Yuntian asked.
Bai Mengfei pursed her lips and frowned slightly, knowing that he was referring to Xu Sanmin.
She stopped eating. Upon hearing Xiang Yuntian mention this matter, she couldn't help but think of those dismembered corpses, and immediately felt nauseous and lost her appetite.
After pondering for a while, she gave Xiang Yuntian a more reliable answer: "It shouldn't be Xu Sanmin's doing, because you know that murderer's modus operandi, which is very different from Zheng Xiuxiu's and the others' cause of death."
"By the way, why do you think Xu Sanmin killed people?"
Xiang Yuntian simply wanted to use this opportunity to talk to Bai Mengfei more and find a topic to chat about.
But Bai Mengfei would take every question he asked seriously and think it over carefully.
In fact, the two of them have deep feelings for each other, but due to a lack of experience, they are not very good at expressing their emotions.
Bai Mengfei knew perfectly well that if Xiang Yuntian were to write a love letter to himself, it would probably be written like a formal document, and he would probably use professional terms like "surgical scalpel" to describe it, and then neatly sign "Xiang Yuntian" at the end.
Thinking of this, Bai Mengfei couldn't help but shake her head inwardly, feeling that perhaps their way of getting along was never as romantic as that of ordinary couples.
