With that, Pei Jiao snorted angrily. Wei Yu’s eyelashes trembled slightly in his sleep, but Pei Jiao did not notice. Tired of standing, she pulled a stool out from under the bed and sat down. She crossed her legs, her expression indifferent.
“Thinking about it carefully, we only met a few times when we were young. You were so beautiful as a little boy, as exquisite as a doll. I couldn’t help but kiss you a few times. You don’t really think I liked you when I was young and when I grew up, I still liked you, do you?
“You must think so. You’re really narcissistic.” Pei Jiao clicked her tongue and shook her head. “When I grow up, I’ll forget about you. How can I like you?”
Wei Yu’s eyelashes fluttered again. This time, Pei Jiao saw it. She suddenly stood up and leaned closer. After taking a closer look and seeing that he showed no signs of waking up, she sat down again and muttered to herself, wonder if you can hear what I’m saying…”
She guessed he couldn’t hear her. Pei Jiao said enough and felt thirsty, but there was no water to drink in the ward. She simply took out her phone and dialed Ji He’s number from her memory.
After Ji He answered the call, she briefly explained Wei Yu’s current situation and gave him the hospital address. Ji He said that he would come over immediately, and Pei Jiao hung up. After calling Ji He, Pei Jiao stood up and put away her cell phone. She looked down at Wei Yu for a moment before turning to leave.
At this moment—
Her hand was suddenly grabbed. Pei Jiao was shocked and subconsciously retracted her hand. However, the moment she retracted her hand, the hand that was holding her tightened, causing Pei Jiao to be unable to retract her hand.
She turned around and realized that Wei Yu had woken up. His eyes were half open, and his palm was holding her hand slightly hard. The strength was clearly not letting her go. That deep gaze was fixed on her.
Pei Jiao’s eyebrows twitched. “You’re awake…”
Wei Yu opened his mouth to speak, but he couldn’t make a complete sound. He tried a few times before finally saying, “Pei, Jiao.” He was struggling so hard that the first thing he said was her name.
Pei Jiao leaned over slightly and looked at him, who was trying his best to speak and ask her to stay. Coupled with the gauze on his face, he looked so pitiful. Pei Jiao wanted to pry his hand away, but she couldn’t bear to. She asked, “Do you want water?”
Wei Yu shook his head gently. Pei Jiao asked, “Then what do you want?”
Did he want to go to the toilet? That would be too difficult for her! She would not help. Wei Yu looked at her lovingly. “You, sent me to the hospital?”
Pei Jiao said, ‘You don’t have to thank me.” After a pause, she added, “But you have to pay me back for the medical fees. After all, we have to be even. Neither of us can owe the other.’
Wei Yu t s lips curved slightly, but because the corner of his mouth was broken, the pain made his expression look painful. Pei Jiao frowned. “You’re already so injured, yet you can still smile?”
Wei Yu endured the pain and said word by word, “I’m… happy to see you.” He spoke intermittently. When he was unconscious, he was satisfied to see her. When he woke up, he saw her too, so he was extremely happy.
It was right not to fight back when he was beaten—it was worth it.
At this moment, Pei Jiao asked, “Didn’t you dodge when they hit you? Or didn’t you fight back? Your skills shouldn’t be so bad, right?”
Wei Yu closed his eyes for a moment and said, “No.”
Pei Jiao slowly stood up and placed her other hand on the head of the bed. “Did you not dodge or did you not fight back?” “Both.” This was Wei Yu e s answer to her.
Pei Jiao frowned. “Huh?”
Wei Yu said, “l want to see you. I’m willing to be beaten.”
Pei Jiao:
She really didn’t know what to say about him. Forget it. It was better to avoid unnecessary trouble.
“I’ve already called that assistant of yours. He’ll be here soon. I have to go. Remember to reimburse me for the medical expenses.” Pei Jiao had no intention of staying any longer. She had been preparing to leave before he woke up. Now that he is awake, she should leave immediately.
But Wei Yu held her hand tightly and refused to let her go. “Can… you stay, please?”
Pei Jiao did not scold him on account of how pitiful he was. “It’s very late. I have to go home. Let go.”
Wei Yu refused to let go. Pei Jiao had no choice but to pry it open with her other hand. Wei Yu was injured and could not exert much strength compared to Pei Jiao. He was quickly pried open. Instead, he grabbed the hem of her shirt. “Don’t. Go.’
Pei Jiao sweated. “You make it sound like I abandoned you heartlessly.”
Wei Yu’s expression was dull. “Isn’t that so?”
Pei Jiao:
Wei Yu enunciated each word clearly. “Didn’t you just want to abandon me?” She didn’t want to be fierce to him on account of his pity, but his pestering made Pei Jiao not want to tolerate it anymore. She was about to scold him when she paused. She saw Wei Yu looking at her pitifully with red eyes. This was an expression Pei Jiao had never seen on Wei Yu t s face before, and his red eyes…
Pei Jiao felt like a fishbone was stuck in her throat. “You…”
This guy was actually crying. He had refused to admit it over the phone, but now his eyes were red in front of her. It was simply… hateful!
She hated it when men cried.
“Wei Yu!” Pei Jiao gritted her teeth and said angrily, “You’re not allowed to cry.”
Wei Yu’s eyes were very red and misty. As he blinked, a tear fell. However, he still refused to admit it. “How can 1, possibly, cry!’
Pei Jiao was originally very angry, but seeing him deny it with tears in his eyes, she found it funny. “Looks like I have to take a photo for you to see.” As she spoke, she was about to take her cell phone.
Wei Yu sat up to stop her. The pain all over his body made him look like he was in pain. Pei Jiao was shocked and quickly held him. “What are you doing? Can’t you behave after being so seriously injured? It would be strange if you can recover when you move around like that.”
Wei Yu grabbed her wrist. “Then don’t leave, okay?”
Pei Jiao asked, “If 1 don’t leave, am I going to stay here and watch over you all night? I’m not that kind.”
Wei Yu’s eyes were red and his tone was a little choked. “You can. Come to the bed. I’ll sit. As long as you don’t leave.”
Pei Jiao:
“Or,” he continued despite the pain in his body, “you come to the bed. I’ll hold you and sleep.”
Pei Jiao:
She looked at Wei Yu, who wanted to say every word clearly and tried his best to persuade her to stay. His eyes were red from crying, and his expression was so aggrieved—this relationship made Pei Jiao feel helpless and amused.
She suddenly reached out and wiped his tears. There was a hint of gentleness in her negotiating tone.. “Can you stop crying first?”
