"Me!" Jiang Baobao stared speechlessly at the person in front of him for the first time today.
"I told you, it was just to find an excuse to delay time! Don't misunderstand anything! I didn't mean to take advantage of you!"
Jiang Baobao explained loudly, wishing he could distance himself from Li Beijue.
Li Beijue's eyes flickered for a moment, and he suddenly said without thinking, "What if I misunderstood?"
"You..." Jiang Baobao seemed to have been pressed the mute button suddenly, and his mind was in chaos.
Li Beijue didn't expect that he would ask such a question, and a rare hint of embarrassment flashed across his face.
Tsk…
This was different from what he expected.
Even if I want to express my love, it shouldn't be today, it shouldn't be here, there will be no flowers or balloons.
There are only the snow-white walls of the ward and the faint smell of disinfectant in the air.
There was an emotion called "reason" in Li Beijue's mind, which stopped him from continuing.
But his body seemed to be controlled by another brain, successfully taking away control of the language system.
"Jiang Baobao, I don't mind. Just make this misunderstanding true."
Li Beijue's tone was serious, and his deep eyes looked straight into the nervous and overwhelmed eyes of Baby Jiang in front of him.
He reached out and wrapped her hand in his palm.
It's over.
He seemed to be more jealous than he thought.
He wished he could tell the whole world that this woman was his.
No one can think about it, no one can touch it.
He couldn't even wait, so he directly made his feelings clear and stayed with her as a "boyfriend" to protect her.
Jiang Baobao was completely down.
I even wondered if I heard something wrong.
Li Beijue...what do you mean?
Are you confessing your love?
So suddenly?
"I...you..."
Baby Jiang finally found his voice, but he couldn't form a complete sentence.
In this short period of time, she thought countless times about Li Beijue's sudden feelings for her.
She thought that one day the window paper would be pierced, but she didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
Jiang Baobao was stuck for a long time, and the first thing he thought of was to pull his hand back.
But within a second, he was held again.
"What are you hiding from?"
Li Beijue looked at the person in front of him funny, he had already sorted out his thoughts in the silence just now.
Now that you've said it, you might as well say it all.
"Baby Jiang, listen carefully. Maybe it's a little late for me to say this now, but I am willing to use all the time in the future to make up for it..."
Li Beijue seemed to be nervous, his voice was a little hoarse, but his tone was extremely firm, and he said word by word: "I, Xi, Huan, you."
Jiang Baobao's pupils shrank suddenly, and his breathing stopped for a moment.
These four words had a really big impact on her.
But there was no joy or nervousness as expected.
Jiang Baobao blinked his eyes, and suddenly there was a complex emotion in his heart that he couldn't explain.
Li Beijue's confession was what she had wanted most.
His affection, his gentle tone, and his expression at this moment were all things that the former Jiang Baobao had fantasized about countless times.
However, that was already in the past.
Jiang Baobao recovered from the shock and felt only calm in his heart.
The words "I like you" seemed to have healed the unwillingness she had felt many years ago, making her let go of even the last trace of insignificant concern.
All that's left is relief, without any emotion.
Li Beijue held her hand quietly, his thin lips pursed slightly revealing his slight nervousness at this time, as if he was a student waiting for the teacher to correct his test paper.
Jiang Baobao took his hand out anyway.
She subconsciously rubbed the corners of her quilt, took a deep breath, and slowly said, "Li Beijue, I'm sorry."
Li Beijue's eyes flickered for a moment, and there didn't seem to be much surprise.
Jiang Baobao continued: "I think... you may not be calm right now, the two of us..."
"Both of us, it was my fault before. I know that I made you suffer a lot. I apologize to you. I'm sorry. In the future..." Li Beijue knew what she was going to say, and there was a trace of unhelpful regret in his eyes.
Jiang Baobao shook his head.
"That's not what I meant."
Her tone was calm. She had completely recovered from the shock just now and regained her composure: "I'm just curious, why do you... suddenly like me?"
Li Beijue was startled when he heard this, thought for two seconds, and then slowly said: "I have been looking for you all these years..."
"I know."
Jiang Baobao interrupted him: "I know you have been looking for someone, but I didn't expect that person to be myself."
A self-deprecating smile appeared on her face, and she already had the answer to the question in her heart.
"What you are looking for and what you like is the girl who saved you back then, but that person is not necessarily me. What if it was someone else who saved you back then? Will you still sit here and confess your love to me now? ?”
Jiang Baobao asked calmly.
Li Beijue had never thought of this possibility, and was immediately stopped by her question.
Jiang Baobao smiled indifferently: "You don't have to answer this question. I can just pretend that I haven't heard what you said today. The relationship we have now is pretty good."
After Jiang Baobao finished speaking, he casually pulled the quilt and lay down with his back to Li Beijue, his eyes clear.
Afraid of what the person behind her would say, she deliberately added: "I'm a little tired and want to take a rest."
"Yeah." Li Beijue responded in a low voice.
Jiang Baobao then closed his eyes with satisfaction and suppressed his emotions back to the bottom of his heart.
She is no longer the baby Jiang she used to be.
Now she is extremely sober.
Li Beijue's love, care, and love are all based on "she saved him back then."
She won't fall again.
She doesn't need this kind of "like".
When Li Beijue figured it out, he would naturally pretend that nothing happened today.
Jiang Baobao listened carefully to the movement behind him, feeling as relaxed as if a big stone had been put down.
Now that everything has been said...
Then the story between her and Li Beijue should be completely over, right?
For that confession just now, just think of it as something he owes you...
It was clear between them.
Jiang Baobao's whole body slowly relaxed, and his nerves were gradually eroded by thoughts.
She deliberately ignored the presence of Li Beijue behind her, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
Li Beijue sat by the bed until he heard Jiang Baobao's breathing gradually becoming longer, then he carefully reached out and tidied the broken hair around her ears.
After a moment, he sighed softly again.
He had been thinking about Baby Jiang just now.
He owed her so much.
If the girl from sixteen years ago was not her...
Li Beijue frowned suddenly, his thoughts seemed to have stopped.
If it weren't for her...
Li Beijue had never thought of this possibility, but he had a definite answer in his heart.
He clearly remembered the feeling when he mistook Lu Qing'er.
At that time, he was almost always pulled away by reason and obsession, trying his best to endure the discomfort Lu Qing'er brought to him.
He even wanted to give her some compensation in the end to repay the kindness he had done back then.
Only then did he realize that it was impossible for him to fall in love with anyone with the filters he had back then!
The only thing that can attract him, the only one he likes, is Baby Jiang!
