In the hospital room next door.
When Wen Jin entered, Aunt Ou was chatting with Ou Yihan.
Upon seeing him, Aunt Ou smiled and said, "Ah Jin, you should go ho and rest. I’ll take care of Yi Han tonight. It’s almost the end of the year, and your factory is busy, so there’s no need for you to stay at the hospital."
After Aunt Ou spoke, Ou Yihan also nodded and looked up at Wen Jin, "You should go back. Having my mom here with is enough."
Hearing them say this, Wen Jin felt a sense of relief inside.
Although he had agreed to take care of Ou Yihan during this ti, it was ant for the dayti, not at night.
It wouldn’t be appropriate for a single man to stay in the sa room with a woman who has mobility issues, especially when his mind is still preoccupied with Jing Xiaocha in the next room.
Ever since that ti Jing Xiaocha drunkenly kissed him, Wen Jin’s feelings had begun to change. He had been contemplating this issue for so ti now.
What kind of feelings did he really have for Jing Xiaocha?
Was she just a sister to him, or was it sothing more...
This afternoon, after learning about her kidnapping, he realized his concern for her far surpassed his worry for Ou Yihan, his girlfriend.
Especially when he saw the injury on her arm, and the kidnapper’s knife had grazed her neck, his heart stopped for a mont.
That fear of losing her overwheld him in an instant.
It also made him realize that his feelings for Jing Xiaocha were more than just sibling-like. Even though she shared so traits with Ranran.
But she wasn’t Ranran.
Previously, Wen Jin had suppressed inappropriate feelings for Ranran, so when Jing Xiaocha replaced Ranran by his side, he subconsciously forbade himself from having any inappropriate thoughts about Jing Xiaocha.
He only treated her as a sister.
These conflicting and repressed feelings puzzled even himself.
However, now he understood his feelings for Xiaocha better. Despite dating Ou Yihan and trying to like her as a girlfriend.
The result was still letting her down.
"Aunt, I’ll leave Yi Han in your care then. I’ve arranged for a special nursing assistant to look after her 24 hours a day, so you can rest as you need during the night."
After addressing Mother Ou, Wen Jin turned to Ou Yihan and said, "Lying like this is also tiring, so rest early. What would you like for breakfast tomorrow? I’ll bring it for you."
"No need to bother about . My mom is here with ."
Ou Yihan smiled, "Is Xiaocha awake?"
"Yes, she’s awake."
"How is she? Have you arranged for a special nurse to take care of her?" Ou Yihan asked with concern.
Wen Jin answered with a smile, "Don’t worry. I’ve taken care of everything."
"That’s good. I have my mom looking after , but Xiaocha is by herself, so pay more attention to her," Ou Yihan gently reminded him.
Although she was implicated and kidnapped because of Jing Xiaocha, in that situation, Jing Xiaocha didn’t escape first but instead let her leave first.
Ou Yihan couldn’t help but feel touched.
Once Wen Jin left, Aunt Ou asked Ou Yihan with concern, "Yi Han, what exactly is the relationship between that girl with the surna Jing next door and Ah Jin?"
Earlier, she was only concerned about her daughter’s injuries and hadn’t had a chance to ask about other matters.
Now, hearing her daughter ntion Jing Xiaocha and even telling Wen Jin to pay more attention to her, Aunt Ou couldn’t help but feel curious.
Facing her mother’s puzzled gaze, Ou Yihan’s eyes flickered as she softly said, "Xiaocha is a poor girl, but she’s strong, optimistic, and kind. Ah Jin has always taken care of her like a brother."
"I see."
"Mom, if I decide to break up with Ah Jin, you and dad won’t bla , right?"
Ou Yihan asked cautiously.
Aunt Ou frowned and asked sternly, "Why would you want to break up with Ah Jin? Yi Han, are you dissatisfied with him? Nowadays, there aren’t many n as outstanding as Ah Jin in the entire G City."
"Mom, I’m not saying Ah Jin isn’t good or excellent."
Ou Yihan sighed softly.
Aunt Ou looked at her in confusion, "Then why do you want to break up? Ah Jin has good character, is excellent, and is also considerate towards you. Don’t you like him a lot?"
"But I don’t think he loves ."
Ou Yihan’s voice lowered, and as she spoke, a hint of sadness appeared deep in her eyes.
Aunt Ou glared at her, "You young people nowadays are always making a fuss over nothing. What love or no love? When your father and I got married back then, it was arranged by a matchmaker, and aren’t we doing just fine?"
"My situation with Ah Jin is different from yours back then."
"What’s different? I think Ah Jin is great and treats you well. Don’t set your expectations too high, and don’t be unreasonable, Yi Han. Not only do I disagree with you breaking up with Ah Jin, but your father will also disagree. He’s been friends with your Uncle Gu for many years. If you break up with Ah Jin, he will definitely be angry."
"I’m just saying it casually, not that I really want to break up."
Ou Yihan covered her ears in fear and surrendered.
If she let her mother continue, she’d probably be lectured until midnight.
Only then did Aunt Ou smile with satisfaction, "Your father and I have only you as our daughter. We don’t hope for your career to be extrely successful, just that you’ll marry a good man and live a happy life. Yi Han, take things well with Ah Jin. When the weather warms up after the New Year, your father will ask Ah Jin about your marriage..."
"Mom, I want to sleep."
Ou Yihan softly interrupted Mother Ou, imnsely regretting bringing up this topic.
Mother Ou understood that her daughter wasn’t fond of her nagging, so she rolled her eyes at her, "Alright, I won’t say any more. Go to sleep."

After Gu Kai left, Jing Xiaocha, accompanied by a special nurse, went to the bathroom and under the enthusiastic assistance of the nurse, used the toilet.
She initially insisted on going to the restroom herself, but the nurse said she was inconvenient with one hand and insisted on helping her.
And also insisted on waiting at the bathroom door for her.
And helped her put on her pants.
Just as she lay back in bed, Wen Jin pushed the door open and ca in.
Seeing the nurse covering Jing Xiaocha with a quilt, his lips curved into a gentle smile.
"Brother Wen, why are you here again?"
Jing Xiaocha looked at Wen Jin, who walked over, in surprise.
After tucking her in, the nurse took a few steps back and stood aside.
"I just ca to see you. I’ll head back ho in a bit. Are you sure you don’t want to eat anything?"
"I don’t need anything. You should hurry ho and rest."
Thinking about Gu Kai saying Wen Jin was going to donate blood to her this afternoon, Jing Xiaocha felt a wave of warmth in her heart.
Wen Jin didn’t insist, "If you get hungry at midnight, just tell the nurse or give a call. What would you like for breakfast tomorrow? I’ll bring it for you."
"Brother Wen, you don’t have to bring breakfast. The hospital cafeteria has breakfast."
Jing Xiaocha’s voice grew softer as Wen Jin’s expression changed.
Under Wen Jin’s dark, pond-like gaze, she finally compromised as his expression beca increasingly displeased, "Alright then, porridge."
