Nian Shen said something that made the entire hospital room fall silent.
Yeah, he wasnāt Ah Nian. He didnāt know what Ah Nian would think.
Nian Shen pulled his hand back, lowered his head, and continued eating, his voice quiet: "Forget it, stop crying, I was just talking nonsense."
Heather snapped out of it, grabbed a few tissues, and wiped her face clean.
"Since you guys are already broken up, heās far away and youāre here, just donāt overthink it. Anyway, you canāt see him and he canāt see you, so live the life you want to live."
Heather lowered her head and ate as well, no longer looking up at him.
She found that she couldnāt seem to control her emotions in front of Nian Shen. It was a weird phenomenon.
...
The following day, while they were packing up to discharge from the hospital, Mo Jun Tian arrived. As soon as he walked in, he started butting heads with Nian Shen, snatching the items from his hands and declaring, "Thank you for your trouble, Mr. Nian! My girlfriendās care can now be handled by meādonāt waste your time anymore."
"Moā"
Girlfriend? Didnāt she already explain it to him last time? Nian Shen had seen right through them ages ago, hadnāt he?
Nian Shen didnāt fight him for it. If he wanted to take it, Nian Shen let him have it, responding indifferently, "Fine."
Mo Jun Tian took all the items back, but Heather gave him a light tap, telling him to stop clowning around. Then, Nian Shen spoke again: "But, this boyfriendājust so Iām clearāHeather was injured and hospitalized, so where were you all that time?"
"Iā" Mo Jun Tian was stumped.
Nian Shen won.
He glanced at Heather and said, "Since your boyfriend is here to pick you up, I wonāt intrude on your reunion. Iāll head out now."
He had reached the door but suddenly stopped, turned around, and added, "Oh, and your girlfriend has been quite obedient these past two weeks. Very well-behaved."
Heather: "..."
Why such a suggestive remark?
He knew perfectly well that Mo Jun Tian wasnāt her boyfriend, so what was the point of saying all this?
Of course, when she turned and saw Mo Jun Tianās expression, she thought...
Thereās definitely a point to it.ļ¼ļ¼
Mo Jun Tian looked ready to explode, muttering, "Heās so full of himself, isnāt he?!"
"Is he?" Heather frowned.
Hmm, maybe a little?
"Yes! Who does he think he is?" Mo Jun Tian fumed indignantly, "He isnāt your boyfriend either!"
"Little brother, youāre not my boyfriend either," Heather kindly reminded him.
"Iā" He was at a loss for words. "Fine. But I honestly canāt stand guys like himāso arrogant!"
"I think heās pretty good," Heather said as she walked out of the hospital room.
"Pretty good?" Mo Jun Tian was momentarily stunned and quickly chased after her. "SisāSis, thatās not what you mean, is it? Whatās good about him? The only thing he has on me is that heās older! Other than that, thereās absolutely nothing he beats me at!"
"Oh, really?" Heather, who was walking a few steps ahead of him, suddenly stopped. She glanced at him and said, "Then why do I feel like youāre not as good as him in anything?"
"That must be because you havenāt taken a close look at me yet!" Mo Jun Tian dramatically pointed at himself, widening his eyes in an exaggerated expression. "Look at meālook into my eyesāwhat do you see written there?"
"What?"
Ugh, honestly, she didnāt see anything at all, okay? ā®(āÆ_ā°)ā
"Truth! Sincerity! Now tell me, in what way am I not as good as him? Weāre the same height, right? Heās rich, but Iām not doing bad either, am I? Half the real estate in Linyang is owned by my family."
"Heās self-madeāfirst-generation rich. Youāre second-generation rich, relying on your dad. Tell me, whoās better?"
"Thatās not fair! How do you know heās not second-generation rich? You canāt just assume that because heās got more experience! Bottom line is, heās just older than me!"
