The days went by . Lin Wanwan wasn’t seriously hurt to begin with and, thus, could be discharged from the hospital after half a month .
As for Fu Zhinian, he had to be observed in the hospital for a while longer .
As the two of them stayed under the same roof, their relationship eased a little . However, Fu Zhinian still completely ignored Lu Zhanbei .
Lu Zhanbei treated him the same as well .
Lin Wanwan was a little anxious . She specifically wanted Fu Zhinian to stay with her because number one, she wanted to repay him for his life-saving grace and number two, she wanted to see if the two brothers could forgive and forget .
The day Lin Wanwan was discharged from the hospital and especially bid farewell to Fu Zhinian, she didn’t forget to bring Lu Zhanbei over .
“I’m going to be discharged from the hospital . Take care of your injuries . I’ll come visit you when I’m free . ”
Fu Zhinian was as cold and indifferent as before . “There’s no need to . ”
Lin Wanwan tugged Lu Zhanbei’s sleeve . “You say something too . ”
Lu Zhanbei lost to her pleading eyes . His gaze fell on Fu Zhinian’s expressionless face . After being silent for a long while, he said five words .
“Take care of your injuries . ”
Fu Zhinian clenched his fists under the pillow and didn’t look at him . He said sarcastically, “Are you saying this out of pity, or out of your responsibility as a so-called brother?”
“Gratitude . ”
Fu Zhinian’s cold gaze carried with it strong suppression . “I don’t care for your gratitude . It’s not because of you that I saved her . ”
Lin Wanwan sensed the tension in the air and was afraid things would worsen . In a moment of desperation, she touched Fu Zhinian’s head, like how she treated the cute little puppy .
“I know you can’t bear for me to be hurt, right?”
The hand that was messing up his hair made Fu Zhinian stiffen for a moment .
He seemed to be contemplating if he should avoid it . A trace of helplessness could be seen in the middle of his cold eyebrows .
“Don’t read too much into it . I did that back then to protect myself…”
His tone was no longer aggressive . It was dry, and it wasn’t clear if he was trying to explain things or disguise them .
Lin Wanwan didn’t expose the fact that he was saying one thing and meaning another again . “Yes, yes, yes . You did it to protect yourself . It was just a by-the-way, saving me as well . However, I’m still very thankful to you . I especially made this for you . Eat one piece a day . After you’ve finished eating them, you can be discharged . ”
She handed over a box of beautifully packaged chocolates .
Lu Zhanbei’s face turned dark instantly .
Two days ago, Lin Wanwan had insisted on going back to Yun Mansion . She was busy for the whole afternoon and made a big box of not-bad-looking chocolates .
He had thought that she was giving it to him…
Fu Zhinian looked at the chocolates in his hands, and there were slight ripples in his eyes .
In front of Lu Zhanbei, he really wanted to throw this something that was meant to coax children into the rubbish bin .
After being silent for a long time, he sneered with disdain, “Lin Wanwan, you’re really childish . ”
Lin Wanwan found it both angering and funny .
As a woman whose actual age was already that of an adult, she sincerely treated Fu Zhinian as a younger brother .
“I’m leaving . I’ll come again in two days . ”
Fu Zhinian looked indifferent and didn’t take her seriously .
After the two of them left, Fu Zhinian opened the box . The chocolates inside were round and full and were in cute shapes .
He stared at them bitterly for half an hour before putting one into his mouth .
It was so sickeningly sweet .
“Horrible . ”
He pouted in disdain . His right hand picked up another chocolate and he stuffed it into his mouth .
The sun shone through the half-opened windows and gave the youth on the bed a golden glow .
His beautiful thin lips curved up slightly, and his eyebrows softened, adding a touching warmth .
Lin Wanwan got on the car and let Lu Zhanbei buckle her seatbelt for her .
The car was driving steadily on the wide road .
