An Baobei is wearing sportswear today, looking especially youthful and energetic. As she pushes in the dining cart, she concernedly asks, "Why are you having breakfast so early today?"
It’s just a little past six.
Ning Zihan doesn’t ntion that his stomach feels a bit uncomfortable. As he walks towards the dining table with An Baobei, he casually says, "Sothing’s up at the company, I need to go back early."
An Baobei imdiately seems a bit upset: "You promised when you ca to S city that I’d take you around to see the sights..."
Ning Zihan still says, "Sothing’s up at the company."
"Alright then." Despite being quite disappointed, An Baobei doesn’t want to delay Ning Zihan’s important matters.
In fact, Ning Zihan doesn’t actually need to rush back to E City; there’s no urgent matter at the company requiring his return today. He just feels that he shouldn’t be like this with An Baobei—it would give her hope.
"Luckily I ca to find you this early, otherwise, I’d have no idea you were leaving." Then, feeling a bit disappointed, she adds, "I was planning to take you around S city today. There are a lot of fun places in S city. My second uncle often takes to those places to play, and it’s a lot of fun."
At the ntion of Su Chengyu, Ning Zihan feels a bit blocked inside but says nothing and instead helps An Baobei move the breakfast from the cart to the table.
Then, he sits at the table, eating his breakfast slowly and sowhat tastelessly.
An Baobei also sits down but doesn’t speak, just watches Ning Zihan eat.
Being watched like this by An Baobei makes Ning Zihan a bit uncomfortable, so to cover his discomfort, he asks casually, "How is your treatnt going? Are you cured yet?"
"Not yet."
Not yet...
Ning Zihan suddenly frowns, feeling like he’s heard these words from her before. After two seconds, he asks, "Did you co to my room last night?"
An Baobei doesn’t deny it: "Yes."
Ning Zihan imdiately falls silent. After a mont, he again asks casually, "I didn’t say anything strange, did I?"
"Nope." After a pause, "Did you used to talk nonsense when you got drunk?"
"I don’t know. But Liang Youxu said I do talk nonsense."
"Really? Then I should have stayed a bit longer last night to see if you’d say anything strange."
Ning Zihan doesn’t speak but feels relieved. It’s good that he didn’t say anything strange. Saying sothing out of line might give her hope, and that wouldn’t be good.
As he continues eating breakfast, he casually asks again, "You seem almost like a normal person now; your illness is nearly cured, right?"
"It should be soon."
"How soon is ’soon’?"
"I don’t know either. The doctor just said that based on my current recovery pace, it should be soon, but he can’t be sure when I’ll fully recover. He said there are too many uncertainties, and if I get upset again, not only might I not recover, my condition might worsen again."
Ning Zihan remains silent for a while, then says, "Stay at ho and don’t wander around, and you shouldn’t get upset."
"Although you say this because you want to recover, it doesn’t make happy at all."
Ning Zihan stays silent.
Seeing that Ning Zihan doesn’t ask why she’s unhappy, An Baobei isn’t annoyed but explains the reason herself: "You want to recover because you think once I recover, you’ll dislike like you do other won, and I don’t want you to dislike ." After a pause, her tone suddenly drops, "Ning Zihan, I really don’t want you to dislike . Just the thought of you disliking makes not want to cure this illness."
