Lu Boyan's request was to have Su Jianan press on his needle wound as they walked out of the hospital together. But in truth, it was Lu Boyan doing the walking while dragging her along.
Due to his long strides, Su Jianan had to hurry her steps just to keep up. "I think it's better that you stay here tonight for observation," Su Jianan said, a little out of breath. "It's not like the house would run away."
"Lu Boyan, gastric problems shouldn't be taken lightly."
"Lu Boyan..."
Frowning, Lu Boyan stopped in his tracks. "Su Jianan, why are you still as talkative as when you're young?"
She was like this too when she was ten. She would huddle beside him, wearing the branded princess dress that Su Yicheng had brought back from England, batting those bright eyes at him. "Brother Boyan, why aren't you talking?" she had said. "Brother, won't you get bored?. Let's play a game together, okay? Brother Boyan, are you in a bad mood? How about I treat you to some ice cream? I always feel better after some ice cream..."
"I was not talkative when I was young." Su Jianan snorted. "A lot of aunties at the time had even praised me for being quiet and obedient."
Yeah, right. Whoever would say that she was quiet? Back then, she would keep talking until he snapped at her in annoyance and told her to shut up. She would clam up right away. She would stare back at him with pursed lips and innocent eyes as if she had just been wronged for no reason at all.
A smile swept past Lu Boyan's lips. "But it's true that you were obedient."
Although her younger self would start chattering again shortly after being scolded, at least she had been more obedient back then, unlike her present self.
Su Jianan had expected a debate and was already prepared for it. But when Lu Boyan had suddenly acknowledged her, she was completely taken aback. In her daze, Su Jianan was dragged into the elevator by Lu Boyan.
Su Jianan had been too shaken when she was about to leave for the hospital. Out of concern for her safety, Uncle Xu had asked the driver to send Su Jianan to the hospital. Now, both of them were being driven home by the same driver.
The car had travelled for quite some distance since they both got on. Lu Boyan did not let go of Su Jianan's hand. The thought of pulling away never crossed Su Jianan's mind either. Instead, holding on to his hand made her feel... reassured.
Because by holding his hand, she could be 100 percent sure that Lu Boyan was beside her.
"Uncle Xu, he's... very worried about you."
Su Jianan had no clue why she would say something like that out of the blue. But just now, when Uncle Xu was rushing up the stairs anxiously, she was sure that she had seen deep concern in the man's eyes. It was the reason why she had been so terrified.
Lu Boyan levelled a deep stare at Su Jianan. "What about you?"
For a long while, Su Jianan was silent.
"Uncle Xu came knocking on my door suddenly and told me that you'd been hospitalized. I thought that it was unlikely, since you don't seem like the type who would just collapse like that. But I also knew that Uncle Xu wouldn't joke around with me like that. I didn't know what to do. In the end, Uncle Xu had to drag me downstairs and push me into the car so the driver could send me to the hospital. The driver also told me that you don't get ill very often, so it shouldn't be anything too serious. Well, I thought since I'm a doctor, so it should be fine even if it's something serious. I mean, at most I'll help work something out. But just now, when I saw you, you just looked so different from your usual self that I..."
