Back in Time: I Choose to Love You

42 - Misunderstanding

Fu Zhen's arm wound had been anesthetized, and the place where the stitches were stitched began to hurt. The painkiller prescribed by the doctor was also used, but the effect wasn't very good. Fu Zhen pushed away the dinner that Butler Sun had sent over. "I can't eat it. Take it away!"

When Butler Sun heard the news and rushed over, he almost burst into tears. "It's better to eat some, young master! These are all your favorite foods!"

Fu Zhen didn't say anything and gently closed his eyes.

"Young master! When I came up just now, I saw Miss Lin!" Butler Sun said.

Fu Zhen leaned against the pillow behind him. "Let her go back! There's no need to trouble her!"

"As for Mr. Lin Nan..."

Fu Zhen opened his eyes and looked at Mr. Sun. "He can't interfere with Lin Jia's matters. It's fine."

"Alright! Sigh..." Mr. Sun sighed lightly, "You said that you were classmates and friends with these young masters back then! How wonderful! Although Miss Lin Jia is a little stubborn, her feelings for you are sincere. You two are a match made in heaven!"

"Enough! Shut up!" Fu Zhen suddenly shouted because he saw that Si Mi had woken up and was listening to their conversation!

He sat up and walked to Si Mi. "You're awake! Are you feeling unwell?"

Fu Zhen was still as gentle as ever and spoke to her gently. Si Mi wondered if his gentleness had belonged to someone else during those years that she wasn't in his life!

"I'm alright. I want to drink some water." Si Mi said and was obediently helped up by Mr. Sun and Fu Zhen.

Butler Sun passed her some warm water. "Miss, let me feed you! With the injuries on the Young Master's hand, it isn't convenient!"

Si Mi looked at Fu Zhen's hand that was wrapped in bandages. "How is it? Does it still hurt?"

Fu Zhen looked at her. "It doesn't hurt anymore." As she spoke, she smiled dotingly. "Are you scared?"

Si Mi took the water from Mr. Sun and drank a little. She nodded obediently and then lowered her head. Fu Zhen saw that she was in a bad mood. "What's wrong? Does the wound hurt?"

Si Mi had a bandage around her neck. She looked very uncomfortable.

"Who's Lin Jia?"

She finally asked. Fu Zhen was relieved. Looking at Si Mi's haggard appearance, Fu Zhen felt a sense of heartache. "Is this what makes you unhappy?"

"I saw you hugging her! You..." Si Mi's tears fell immediately. "Did you two used to be together? In university?!"

Fu Zhen used his left hand to gently wipe away her tears and sighed. "Do you believe me?"

Si Mi looked at him with tears flowing in her eyes. She nodded and warm tears flowed out again, "But, why did you hug her? Do you like her? Do you know how far I traveled to give you a surprise? Do you know how scared I was when that person held a knife to my neck?"

Si Mi cried and her tears made Fu Zhen's heart ache. "Do you know how sad I was when she asked you if she had a chance when you hugged each other? Why can't you belong to me alone?"

Fu Zhen felt heartbroken and helpless. He hurriedly comforted her, "I didn't like her! I didn't hug her either. Are you sure you saw it clearly? I'm sorry, baby! I was wrong! I shouldn't have let that person hurt you!"

Si Mi shook her head. She was a little emotional. "What scares me even more is that you don't love me! Fu Zhen, do you really like me?"

Fu Zhen didn't know why Si Mi's reaction was so intense. Was the sense of security that he gave her so fragile? Fu Zhen's heart ached, but he was also sad. "Did I not show it clearly, Si Mi?! Do you really not know?"

"I don't know! Your past... you never mentioned it to me. All this time, I was the one expressing my love for you! I was the one who said I loved you!"

Si Mi looked at him with tears flowing down her face. "You are like a mystery. I can't figure you out no matter how hard I try! I can't understand you either! I can't read you... Fu Zhen!"

Si Mi shook her head as he spoke. She had always been careful and protective of Fu Zhen's love. She had made too many mistakes, and she didn't want to lose everything all over again!

"In fact, you have never shown your true self to me!" Her hand slowly touched Fu Zhen's mask, and her face was full of sadness..
