In the ward.

Mu Xueyi was a little surprised by Shen Huaixing's visit, she pulled the stool next to her, "How did the teacher know that I was here?"

As soon as Xiao Ai heard her call to the teacher, she quickly said to buy fruit, and ran away in a hurry.

Shen Huaixing sat down and smiled at Mu Xueyi: "My friend happened to be the attending physician in charge of you. I happened to know that you were hospitalized here while helping him deliver things, so I came over and have a look. What happened the day before yesterday...I always thought I said sorry to you personally, it was the bar I took you to, but in the end another person..."

Mu Xueyi waved her hand: "It's okay, I knew her from the beginning."

Shen Huaixing turned his head away to grab the water cup on the bedside table. When he took it, he seemed to ask casually:

"Do you... like her?"

After all, it was the woman she approached subconsciously when she was drunk, not herself.

Mu Xueyi was stunned for a moment, instinctively trying to cover it up.

But I couldn't spit it out again. Then she couldn't help smiling bitterly. With such an attitude of covering up to outsiders, her previous life must have hurt Zhou Zhenyue many, many times.

"Yes, I like her."

This time, she tried to say these words calmly.

After speaking, I felt relaxed somewhere in my heart, and at the same time there was another kind of throbbing restlessly scratching in my heart. It turns out that even the thick-skinned people will be a little bit ashamed when they show their liking for the one they love.

boom--

The freshly poured water glass fell off from Shen Huaixing's hand, and there was a small noise on the bedside table.

Mu Xueyi sat up hurriedly, found a towel from the side and handed it over.

Shen Huaixing took a towel and wiped the water, and his fingers and eyelashes trembled a little. She wiped the water, remained silent for a long time, and then asked, "...Do you like her the same way you liked me at the beginning?"

Mu Xueyi lowered her head and thought for a while, thinking about it, the corners of her lips curled up unconsciously.

"How should I put it... I liked the teacher back then because I liked it simply and purely. But for her..."

She pursed her lips and fixed her eyes on the place where Zhou Zhenyue had just sat.

After a short silence, she muttered to herself:

"There is a kind of person, you know clearly when you first meet that you are not fellow travelers. You know that there are many barriers there. Even if time passes, it is difficult for you to have a result, but... still I want to walk with her willfully for a while, and then for another..."

"For her, it doesn't matter if you become an enemy with your father and sister. It doesn't matter if you sign a contract without dignity. In the future, you may have to do a lot of things that don't talk about principles and bottom lines. All of these don't matter."

Mu Xueyi smiled and looked at Shen Huaixing, "Teacher, that's how I like her."

Shen Huaixing gritted his teeth, fingers tightly gripping the sheet of bedside.

She asked again: "Then are you together now?"

Hearing this, Mu Xueyi's eyes drooped slightly, and the bottom of his eyes couldn't help being dim.
