Tap, tap, tap—
A series of deliberately heavy footsteps sounded from behind.
Su Xianyu quickly raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face.
Feng Lin's deep voice came, "It's me."
"It's so late. Why aren't you asleep yet, brother?"
"I can't fall asleep. What about you?"
"I felt stuffy in the room, so I came out to get some fresh air."
Feng Lin's warm fingertips gently caressed the corner of her eye.
"Why do you keep your head down?"
Su Xianyu turned her face slightly away. Rarely, she didn't show a smile. Her drooping eyebrows revealed a hint of sadness.
"It doesn't make any difference. Even if I raise my head, I can't see your face, brother."
Hearing this, Feng Lin suddenly held his breath.
Yes, although Xiaoyu had always been optimistic and cheerful, she was just an innocent young girl.
How could she not be sad and scared after suddenly losing her sight and falling into darkness?
He almost wanted to tell Xiaoyu the news that he had invited a famous doctor to come out of seclusion, but he was afraid of giving her false hope.
Daniel's conditions were really harsh. It was okay to invest 30 million in his medical project. The permission from Chen Shui was enough to handle such a small matter.
But he also required that, in exchange, Feng Lin should successfully perform operations on three patients in his hospital for free.
These patients had special identities and complex conditions. Several top - notch doctors had said they couldn't take on the cases.
Even Feng Lin wasn't sure about his success rate.
In recent days, he often went to the hospital to work overtime, constantly perfecting the surgical plan.
Seemingly aware of the heaviness of the topic, Su Xianyu began to joke around. Holding her hands in front of her chest, she said,
"Alas, I'm suffering a great loss for not being able to see a beauty every day!"
Looking at Xiaoyu, who was sad herself but still trying to make him happy, Feng Lin became even more determined.
Xiaoyu's eyes hadn't recovered for so many days. He mustn't miss this opportunity!
"Fool!" You should cry out when you're sad. What's the use of hiding and crying secretly?
Feng Lin's voice was so soft that Su Xianyu didn't catch it. "What?"
"Nothing. It's too late. Go back and rest." Forget it. He'd better keep a closer eye on this silly girl.
"Okay."
After sending Su Xianyu back to her bedroom, Feng Lin turned around and was about to leave.
But just before going out, he suddenly said, "I don't have a girlfriend."
Su Xianyu's almond - shaped eyes widened, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up. "Why are you suddenly saying this?"
Feng Lin shook his head and smiled softly, then gently closed the door.
[Who asked him? Why is Feng Lin saying this out of the blue?]
[It must be a hint! Let me translate this sentence: I'm single. Come and chase me!]
[Ah, I'm shipping them! I think Brother Lin and Sister Xiaoyu have a chance～Reward × 10]
[Hehe, wishful thinking. As long as our Sisi doesn't say she gives up, no one else can have him!]
[That's too much. Feng Lin is a person, not an object. Be careful or I'll report you crazy fans.]
But just stating that he was single wasn't enough.
A girl's active confession is considered sincere and brave during a passionate relationship, but it can also be seen as cheap during a quarrel.
True feelings are always changing. Su Xianyu never left herself a chance to be wronged.
That's just human nature. The higher the cost of investment, the more people will cherish it, right?
So the confession should, of course, be left to her brother to make. She hoped she wouldn't have to wait too long.
On the dining table in the Feng Mansion, the steam from the dishes gradually dissipated.
"Miss Su, why don't you start eating first? The young master might be delayed by something."
"It's okay, Aunt Liu. Let's wait a bit longer. I'm not hungry yet."
Seeing Su Xianyu sitting firmly on the chair, Aunt Liu didn't try to persuade her anymore.
"All right. If you need anything, just call me."
"Thank you, Aunt Liu. You've been working hard."
"Oh, it's my duty."
Seeing that the person didn't come back for a long time and having nothing else to do, Su Xianyu asked the driver, Uncle Chen, to take her to Yuanya Hospital.
Watching the girl's back as she slowly got into the car with a blind stick, Aunt Liu thought to herself.
It's so pitiful. Why has the young master been coming back later and later recently? I hope he's not acting like a cheating scumbag!
And the much - talked - about Feng Lin was currently blocked in his hospital office.
Ruan Sisi was sitting at the desk, flipping through a stack of materials that he had sent someone to investigate but hadn't destroyed yet.
Feng Lin stepped forward, took out the papers, and casually threw them into the trash can. "What are you doing here?"
Ruan Sisi suddenly stood up, her voice shrill. "Feng Lin, what do you mean!"
"Although I didn't clearly accept your pursuit before, it was a test for you. But now you don't even answer my calls?"
Feng Lin's face was cold. He raised his hand and rubbed the space between his eyebrows. "I've already made myself clear during our last meeting."
"I misunderstood my feelings for you before. You can do whatever you want with the things I gave you."
Then he raised his hand and handed over a card. "There's five million in it. The password is six zeros. Consider it compensation for bothering you before."
What? He really didn't like her anymore!
It was impossible. In the previous life, Feng Lin had fallen in love with her at first sight and had refused to let her go even if it meant death.
Feng Lin must be lying!
Yes, because she hadn't accepted his pursuit, he was losing face. He was waiting for her to give in first.
He was so despicable. She would never give in easily. He could never repay what he owed her!
"I saved your life when we were kids. Is your life only worth this much?"
This sentence finally made Feng Lin stop. He turned around and stared fixedly at Ruan Sisi.
The scrutiny and coldness in his eyes instantly made her stand there in a daze.
After a long while, Feng Lin withdrew his gaze, as if forcing himself to accept that the savior from his childhood had become such a different person.
"Oh? Then where did we meet at that time?"
"In the small woods of Hongqiao District Park. A short - haired woman was holding a knife..."
The details matched. Feng Lin nodded.
"How much do you want? Contact Chen Shui after you've decided on a price."
After saying that, he stuffed a contact information into her hand and turned to leave.
Letting go of such a changed relationship earlier might not be a bad thing.
He had to go home earlier. That silly girl Xiaoyu might still be waiting for him to have dinner.
He had already successfully completed two operations. After the last one, Daniel would operate on Xiaoyu...
But Ruan Sisi, holding the card and the contact information in her hand, wasn't as happy as she had imagined.
She quietly followed Feng Lin. Seeing a girl get out of the car and call out "Brother Yunshen", then stumble into his arms.
This must be that little bitch, Su Xianyu!
Ruan Sisi's fingernails dug deeply into her palm, and a little bit of blood oozed out.
This must be a show for her to make her jealous and give in!
But when did Feng Lin get this name?
Yunshen... It sounded so familiar.
Wasn't this the man recorded in the materials on Feng Lin's desk just now!
The corners of Ruan Sisi's mouth immediately curled up, and most of the gloom in her heart dissipated.
It seemed that Feng Lin was just playing with that woman. He had even fabricated his identity.
Well, she was so kind - hearted. She was going to tell Su Xianyu the truth.
Just thinking about the expression on that woman's face at that time made her eager to do it.
After staking out for several days, Ruan Sisi finally caught Su Xianyu when she was going out alone.
"How pitiful. Your Brother Yunshen has been lying to you."
"What did you say?"
