Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian

“An Lan, stop ridiculing me.” Xu Baohan raised his left hand to cover his forehead. It turned out that she had been suspicious since this morning.

He suddenly felt that the lie he had told earlier was rather ridiculous and embarrassing.

“Last night, I bumped into Zhuang Tianya when I was buying some gastric medicine from the pharmacy at the entrance. She was buying some flu medicine, but when I was about to leave, she fainted and fell to the ground. I had no choice, so I sent her to the hospital. She didn’t have any strength at all, and her symptoms were similar to mine today. I wanted to contact her family, but her parents had left the country…”

“That’s why you stayed at the hospital to wait for her to finish her IV drip.” An Lan was getting more and more flustered as she listened. She felt that it was laughable. ” So when I was so worried at home yesterday, you were waiting for your other ex-girlfriend.”

“An Lan, don’t say that. I would have done the same even if it was anyone else,” Xu Baohan explained weakly. “She was asleep at that time, and she was receiving IV drip infusion treatment…”

An Lan felt as her throat was being pricked. He was cold on his appearance but warm on the inside. She knew it from the moment he helped people in the mental hospital.

In the past, she liked that about him, but now, she was disgusted.

“Xu Baohan, if you’re so great, why don’t you become a Saint?” An Lan mocked, “Oh right, your ex-girlfriend said that even if it wasn’t you today, she would do the same if she saw anyone she knew falling sick. The two of you have quite a tacit understanding, you’re a perfect match. In the past, I thought we were quite a good match, but now I realize that I’m not the best match for you.”

“An Lan, don’t be like this, I was wrong, I promise I won’t lie anymore.” Xu Baohan’s body was getting more and more uncomfortable.

It wasn’t just his body, but also his heart.

He reached out to shake her hand but was easily shaken off by her.

An Lan pointed at the other IV drip infusion treatment patients in the ward, she said, “Guess what they are looking at, they must think that you are very lucky with women. Not long ago, a beautiful woman accompanied you, and after that, another came. Unfortunately, now that both of them have met and capsized, they must think that you deserve it. Xu Baohan, I felt very funny and embarrassed, do you know that?”

Xu Baohan looked at her blankly, “An Lan, I only know that I didn’t do anything wrong to you. I was so happy to see you here just now. I thought Zhuang Tianya had left long ago. That’s right, I shouldn’t have lied to you yesterday, but if I told you the truth, you would definitely be angry too…”

“Since you knew that I would be angry, why did you insist on guarding her? If she fainted, you could have just sent her to the ambulance,” An Lan was angrier as she spoke, “The whole of China is so big. Every day, there would be people fainting on the road and being sent to the hospital. Every day, there would be people in the hospital alone without anyone to take care of them, and they wouldn’t die. There are so many nurses in the hospital who only know how to stay in their offices and play with their phones. They have eyes. Even if the medical staff were to be negligent and put a syringe in their hands and drip some myrrh on Zhuang Tianya, she wouldn’t die. At most, there would be some blood. When she wakes up from the pain, she would ring the bell. Why do you need to care so much about her? Who are you?”

Xu Baohan felt a headache coming on. He was a judge, so he could make sense of what the lawyer said, but he couldn’t make sense of anything at this moment.

An Lan took a deep breath, she said sorrowfully, “Xu Baohan, it’s not like I didn’t have a fever before. It’s not like I never get the IV drip infusion treatment alone in the hospital in the middle of the night. I’ve experienced whatever I have said just now, so it doesn’t hurt that much.. You don’t have to be so nervous.”
