He passed by countless patients with tubes stuck into their bodies. Some were sleeping, some were awake, and some were talking to their families …

There were men and women, old and young, but the common characteristic was that there were countless tubes of oxygen stuck into their bodies. They lay there powerlessly, like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

Even from a distance, when she saw the man with the tubes all over his body, she still found it hard to accept.

She couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart. So it really was her that caused this?

She slowly walked over, but before she could steady herself, she saw that he had suddenly opened his eyes and was looking straight at her.

With a slight movement of his hand, as if he was trying to remove the oxygen mask, she hurriedly stepped forward and held his hand. "Don't move."

Ji Linran pulled a chair over, and sat down on the side of the bed. With a slight push of her large palm, she immediately looked over: "Are you in pain?"

Di Shaoyan's lips moved, he shook his head slightly, his lips curled up and his eyes became much gentler.

Ji Linran didn't know what to say, and only looked at him quietly. It was the first time that she was so serious and stared into his eyes at such a close distance.

She discovered that his eyes were pitch black and deep. They were as bright as black gems, but they made people unable to see the bottom. They were so deep that they almost sunk in.

At this moment, that pair of eyes seemed to be filled with boundless gentleness, causing her to have the urge to indulge in it.

Ji Linran looked at the smiling Di Shaoyan and suddenly made a decision in her heart.

"Promise me that you'll take good care of your illness. When you recover, I'll tell you a secret!" Ji Linran threw out a huge bait with a deeper meaning and hints.

Di Shaoyan's eyes flashed as he nodded his head, barely visible to the others. His eyes were filled with understanding;

Ji Linran saw the understanding in the depths of Di Shaoyan's eyes, but in her heart, there was an indescribable feeling.

He just did not know how Di Shaoyan would react after he revealed that secret.

When she thought about it in her heart, she felt a little uneasy.

Now that Di Shaoyan knew that Yao Ran was Ji Linran, was she still as cold and emotionless as she was in the past?

No matter what, she would make a bet!

If they won, everyone would be overjoyed!

If she lost, she would just take Yao Jing and leave this place.

Just as she was thinking this, her eyes were staring straight at Di Shaoyan.

Di Shaoyan squeezed her hand unhappily and reached out to do it himself.

Ji Linran was afraid that she would bump into the tube on his body, hence she hurriedly asked the nurse, who was standing not far away. The head nurse walked over and carefully observed Di Shaoyan's condition, allowing him to take it off for a while.

Di Shaoyan took a light breath, he could not pull it down to his chest, and could even affect his stomach, which had just been operated on. His voice carried a hint of dissatisfaction, but was soft and powerless: "What were you thinking of just now?"

"No, it's nothing. Are you hungry?" Ji Linran thought about how she couldn't eat twenty-four hours after surgery.

"Not bad." Di Shaoyan's voice was light and helpless against this woman's stubbornness.

He wasn't having any respiratory problems, nor was he having any lungs. The oxygen mask didn't really matter much to her, but she still wouldn't let him take it off. She would rather just stay with him and not say a word.

When did she become so obedient?

"Are you bored? I'll find you a book next time?" Ji Linran swept his eyes across his surroundings. This small space was not very big, but it was still relatively independent.

"Can I really browse through books like this?" Di Shaoyan slightly raised his hand. Even his arm had been locked, how could he possibly read? What kind of joke was this?

"Well, I read it to you?" Ji Linran thought about it and said.

Di Shaoyan's eyes flashed. "That's fine, but I decide what I want to read."

"Alright, just tell me what you want to see." Ji Linran did not care about his attitude towards her. After all, if she were to read books that he did not like, it would only make him feel annoyed.

The patient must be in a good mood to be able to recuperate early, shouldn't he?

"Then, let's go with 'Golden Bottle Plum'." A hint of ridicule flashed past Di Shaoyan's eyes.

Ji Linran nodded: "Sure."

However, he was looking forward to the moment when she would know how she would react! Unfortunately, he couldn't see it with his own eyes.

"Then remember to bring it next time." Di Shaoyan said indifferently, but his eyes showed signs of watching a good show.

"Alright, do you have anything else you need …" Ji Linran had not finished speaking when the music started up.

"I'm leaving, hurry up and tell me." Ji Linran stood up and urged them on.

"It's temporarily gone. Come over tomorrow, we'll talk about it later." Di Shaoyan's words carried a deep meaning.

Ji Linran didn't feel anything different from Di Shaoyan as she followed the others and left the place.

After work, she went straight to the bookstore.

Ji Linran thought for a while, then took it to the hospital, how could she bring it back so easily.

"Buy it, I want to buy a bottle of 'Golden Plum' and read it to the patient..." Before Ji Linran could finish speaking, the shop assistant's expression changed, and she looked at Ji Linran with a strange gaze.

"What kind of book do you want?" Can you say it again? " The shop assistant suspected that she had misheard him, and she couldn't help but confirm it again. Therefore, after she repeated it, she met the shop assistant's peculiar gaze.

"Miss, don't joke around. We don't have such a book in our bookstore!" The shop assistant had an insulted look on her face. "You should go somewhere else. We are the most serious bookstore here, not some place that can't even get a table."

Ji Linran was baffled and felt that the gazes directed at her were strange. She could not help but ask: "This book, is there a problem?"

Her head was full of fog. 'Why must I buy this book from places where I can't get it?' Is it too cold?

The shop assistant did not laugh. The previous enthusiasm had long disappeared from her face. "Miss, you should go to Baidu for a bit."

Ji Linran was startled, she immediately took out her phone, with a flick, her face changed!

— "Golden Bottle Plum", a novel of the Ming Dynasty and a long story about the love of the world, was signed by the author, Lan Ling, during the period from Longqing to Wanli. This paper describes the life of Siemenqing and the history of the rise and fall of his family from prosperity to decline, unfolding a broad picture of an era, completely exposing the filth and ugliness of the human world.

Di Shaoyan, I will destroy you! You actually made me buy such a book, and read it to you?

You actually dare to play with me like this, you're dead, you're dead!

Ji Linran's face turned red, she ran out in a sorry state, and kept running until she was very far away, until she finally gasped for breath from exhaustion.

The most shameful thing in his life was what happened today, and it was all thanks to Di Shaoyan!

This despicable fellow, his stomach was already bleeding, yet he was still dishonest and dared to play tricks on her!

First, she remembered that when he left the hospital, he would be in good health. They would have to calculate together, double the amount. There would be interest on the principal and not a single cent less!

Humph!

Suddenly, a glint flashed across her eyes. There it is.

She quickly went home, connected to the internet, and downloaded a few things. Her face was rosy and a tinge of bashfulness, but her eyes were sparkling. She was slowly getting excited.

Di Shaoyan, hehe, this time, I want to see how shameful you are!

She was excited. She wanted to see him make a fool of himself. Otherwise, it would be difficult to quell the hatred in her heart!

The next day, when Ji Linran went to see Di Shaoyan again, he was met with his calm and tranquil expression, which was even more normal.

"You told me to look for it yesterday, I found it. Come!" After Ji Linran finished speaking, he sat down on the sickbed and at the same time, took out his phone.
