Chapter 986: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Are You In Love (71)
Zuo Yue’s expression gradually turned cold, but she sat on the hospital bed and did not speak again.
Xu Yuan noticed the emotions in her eyes and suddenly held her hand gently.””Zuo Yue, tell me the truth. Are you in love?”
Zuo Yue’s gaze shook and she suddenly raised her eyes.””Ah?”
“Tell me the truth, don’t you already have a boyfriend? Are you in love? You don’t look normal at all. Instead, you look like you’re angry and sad with someone when you’re in love.”
“..”Zuo Yue’s hand was a little stiff as she held the blanket lightly.””No, I haven’t.”
“Really?” Xu Yuan did not believe him.
Zuo Yue shook her head gently.” Mom, I really didn’t. If I were in love, I would definitely love you. It’s not like you don’t know my personality. I can’t hide my words.””
“Didn’t you call not long ago and ask if you can get a boyfriend? Are you really in love? Did that man hurt you? Which reckless brat dares to bully my daughter like this?”” Tell me,” Xu Yuan said as she held her hand.” I’ll help you analyze and see if this man is worth it!””
“Mom, didn’t you want me to get to know John Jr. better? Now you’re agreeing for me to date someone else?”
Xu Yuan chuckled.” I was just casually telling you. When you were twenty-eight years old, I couldn’t bear to marry you off, let alone when you were only eighteen. But at your age, I know very well that you can’t be controlled just because you say so. So if you really have a boyfriend, you must tell me. Mom won’t stop you, but if that man dares to hurt you, I won’t allow it.””
Originally, because Xu Chengfeng had left, the desolation in Zuo Yue’s heart was suddenly filled with warmth. She suddenly leaned into Xu Yuan’s arms with reddened eyes and said in a choked voice,””Mom, what should I do if I fall in love with someone I shouldn’t like…”
Xu Yuan hugged her gently and patted the back of her head gently.””Don’t like someone you shouldn’t like. There are too many uncontrollable things in this world, but although feelings are hard to control, rationality is still necessary. Since you know you shouldn’t like someone, why do you have to continue clinging to those things?”
Zuo Yue knew that her mother did not see through her feelings. It was only because of the sentence ” she shouldn’t like him ” that she was helping her to analyze.
She bit her lip. I could tell… He also cares about me very much. He seems to like me too…”
“Zuo Yue, is it because of that man that you became so sick?”Xu Yuan suddenly asked after a moment of silence.
Zuo Yue raised her head and looked at her, her red eyes filled with helplessness. She shook her head.”I’m not, I’m really just sweating all over, and then I’m blown by the cold wind, it has nothing to do with him.””
If she said that she was related, her mother would probably ask her to tell her the other party’s name to check out the situation.
Realizing that Zuo Yue, who had always been straightforward, actually stopped halfway, Xu Yuan looked at her for a while and sighed. She raised her hand and gently stroked her head.”You silly child, I’ve never seen you get close to any boy in the past 18 years. How did you suddenly fall in love with someone and become like this?”
Zuo Yue sniffed, lowered her head and whispered,””Mom, I haven’t changed…”
“In short, the person you shouldn’t like should be someone you absolutely can’t be with. You have to control your feelings and don’t let them go. Time will heal everything.”Xu Yuan stroked her forehead as she spoke.”Fortunately, your fever has finally subsided. The doctor said that you’ve been having a fever repeatedly and that you’ve been eating whatever you eat. It scared me to death. Your uncle is really something. He only informed me when your condition is so serious.”
“Mom, I’m fine. Don’t blame Uncle.”Zuo Yue spoke very softly. She leaned her head into Xu Yuan’s arms coquettishly. When she was sad, she only felt better in her mother’s arms.
” It’s time for you to take a break in two months, but the winter vacation at your medical university seems to be quite long. Go back to Los Angeles. Your uncle must be too busy to take care of you recently. Come back to the Zuo family with me during the break…”
Zuo Yue did not say anything. She did not agree or refuse. She only looked down at the needle marks on the back of her hand. Her mind was filled with the scene of her kissing Xu Chengfeng that day.
Actually, it was just a kiss on his chin. It was not that serious, but to Xu Chengfeng, perhaps he already thought that she was crazy?
Zuo Yue’s eyes darkened. She gradually clenched her fists and then slowly loosened them.
Xu Yuan whispered something into her ear again. Zuo Yue did not hear it clearly, but her consciousness was a little blurry and she was very sleepy.
“Your little uncle kept praising you to me previously. He said that although you were a little willful, you actually knew how to take care of yourself. However, in the blink of an eye, you became so sick. You…”
Xu Yuan felt the weight on her shoulder and paused. Only then did she realize that Zuo Yue had fallen asleep in her arms.
Xu Yuan’s eyes were filled with heartache as she gently touched her daughter’s pale face. She gently placed her daughter back on the bed and turned around to call the nurse to check Zuo Yue’s temperature.
The next morning, Zuo Yue woke up and ate obediently. She did not want to stay in the hospital any longer. She had to get better as soon as possible. Otherwise, she would keep delaying her mother’s matters. After all, her grandfather and the Zuo family had many things that her mother needed to rush back to. She could not be a burden.
After eating her fill, Zuo Yue leaned against the bed and closed her eyes to rest. However, she did not fall asleep. She heard her mother get up to call someone. She did not pay much attention at first, but when she realized that her mother was calling her youngest uncle, she immediately pricked up her ears and listened carefully.
“Hello, Chengfeng, are you busy? Did the sudden call not disturb you?”
“That’s good. You don’t have to worry about Zuo Yue anymore. She woke up yesterday and was much better last night. She even obediently ate a lot of food this morning and cooperated with the treatment. She should be discharged soon.”
“Yes, that’s right. This girl’s sudden illness is really beyond my expectations. Fortunately, her health was good when she was young, so she wouldn’t collapse easily. I reckon that after this illness is cured, she can be lively and won’t fall sick for a few years.”
“When are you leaving? You’re going back to Russia, right?”
“So fast? Don’t you plan to have a meal with Zuo Yue after she’s discharged from the hospital?”
“Alright then, you go ahead with your work. I’ll take care of Zuo Yue here. If it really doesn’t work out, I’ll bring her back to Los Angeles.”
After hanging up the phone, Xu Yuan turned around and saw Zuo Yue leaning on the bed with her eyes wide open. However, it was as if she was only looking at a certain point in the ward. She did not know what she was thinking about, but when she thought about it, she was stunned.
