Chapter 778: Chapter 779: You… Finally Smiled
“I, I was just guessing!” After saying that, she guiltily lowered her head and desperately stuffed small steamed buns into her mouth!
And with that stuffing, disaster struck…
“Ugh! Cough—”
Seeing her choking on the buns from eating so desperately, Li Yuan, who sat by the bed, had his face color change with fright due to her expression!
He quickly stood up and forcefully patted her back, “No one is competing with you for food, why are you eating so fast!?”
After patting, he quickly poured her a glass of hot water.
Huo Yishan’s face turned red from choking, the bun stuck in her throat wouldn’t go up or down, she felt like she was going to suffocate!
It wasn’t until Li Yuan brought her a cup of water that she eagerly took a sip, finally managing to swallow the bun that was stuck at the entrance of her throat!
Even after swallowing, she still gasped heavily, tears choked out!
“Don’t eat so fast next time.”
Seeing her in such a state from choking, Li Yuan felt a pang of heartache, and his tone instantly softened.
Huo Yishan looked up at him, having eaten so hastily because she didn’t want him to see the guilt in her eyes, right?
But fortunately, thanks to this incident, she had successfully diverted his attention.
“Rest well, Anna said she would come over in the afternoon.”
After she had finished eating and he had helped her clean everything up, Li Yuan was ready to leave the ward with the trash.
Huo Yishan hung her head low, not even looking at him, and nodded, “Mm.”
After glancing at her, Li Yuan turned and left.
But just as he turned around, he suddenly stopped, as if he remembered something, and turned his head to stare at Huo Yishan, “Are you going to eat lunch?”
Because it was already half-past ten, he wasn’t sure if she would still want to eat lunch.
As soon as she heard about eating, any trace of guilt or embarrassment vanished from Huo Yishan.
Instead, she quickly nodded her head, “Yes!”
Li Yuan paused, indeed she was a foodie.
Such a foodie, he really wanted to take her home, provide for her eating and drinking, spoil her on top of his heart, and raise her plump and chubby!
At that thought, the corners of Li Yuan’s mouth suddenly lifted into a slight smile, and he seemed completely unaware.
The keen-eyed Huo Yishan, however, caught it, and was even a bit surprised.
So she blurted out without thinking, “You… finally smiled.”
Caught by her comment, Li Yuan snapped back to reality and was slightly stunned.
“What do you mean?” Isn’t it normal for him to smile?
But Huo Yishan pursed her lips, her black, clear pupils just staring at him, “I don’t know if you’ve been in a bad mood these days, but it seemed like you never smiled.”
Li Yuan was taken aback for a few seconds, realizing he hadn’t smiled at all these past days.
“What’s the matter with you, anyway?”
She couldn’t help asking again, blissfully unaware that she had just restarted a subject that had just been dropped.
Li Yuan stared at her, suddenly not leaving anymore, but returned to the side of the hospital bed, “It seems like we haven’t finished our conversation from before?”
Meeting his clear gaze, Huo Yishan turned her black eyes and suddenly realized.
“Eh, let’s talk about it next time.”
He frowned, “Why next time?”
“…” She had no answer.
“Anyway, I think you’re really not that young anymore, if you like someone, just start dating.”
His brows furrowed even tighter, as if trying to see right through her.
He had clearly said he didn’t like her, but in her subconscious, she seemed to have decided that he did.
“What’s going on with you?”
She jerked her head up, looking dumbfounded, “What?”
“I clearly said I don’t like you, but you always assume I do, what does that mean?”
