Lu Yanbai had no idea that Hua Kexin had already left. His hand froze in mid-air for a moment, but he still decisively pushed Leng Li away from his arms.

"Eat something first! You are very weak and need to make up for your nutrition."

Leng Li pulled his shirt hem and asked cautiously and pitifully, "I want you to feed me!"

Lu Yanbai's face changed slightly. He neither agreed nor refused. He opened the takeaway bag on the bedside table and took out the takeaway boxes one by one.

Because Leng Li was too weak to eat greasy or spicy food, Brother Jie bought her some bird's nest porridge.

After Lu Yanbai opened the lid of the takeaway box, he directly put the bird's nest porridge in Leng Li's hand.

Leng Li: “……???”

Lu Yanbai picked up his takeaway box and sat on the chair beside the bed: "Let's eat together."

Leng Li knew that he was rejecting her, but she was not angry. As long as Lu Yanbai could stay with her, she would be satisfied.

Brother Jie sat quietly on the sofa on the side, pretending to be invisible.

He knew it was inappropriate for him to stay here now.

But if he didn't stay, he was afraid that Xiaobai would do something irreparable.

These two days are too critical to allow any mistakes to occur.

Leng Li drank the porridge while looking at Lu Yanbai and said with a smile: "I haven't had bird's nest porridge for a long time. The last time I had it was at Yuting Mansion, when I sat with your family and ate it together."

Lu Yanbai said absentmindedly: "If you like, I can ask Brother Jie to buy it every day."

Leng Li smiled and said, "I like it, but I'll get tired of it if I drink it every day!"

Lu Yanbai: "...??"

Leng Li continued: "As long as I'm with you, everything I eat will taste delicious."

Lu Yanbai: "...??"

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Leng Li smiled and then started crying.

Lu Yanbai was stunned by the action of eating: "What's wrong with you?"

Leng Li sobbed, "In the past year, every time I saw my hair falling out after chemotherapy, I wondered if you would dislike me when we meet again.

I have thought of countless possibilities, but the only thing I have never thought of is that you would fall in love with someone else!

Every time when I felt like I was living a life worse than death and was tortured by cancer and wanted to die, I would think to myself, I must survive and I must stand up again.

I can't bear to leave you. My first half of life was so hard. I finally found a man who treats me well and loves me. I can't die.

I also want to live a normal life and be loved by someone.

I can't believe that God would be so cruel to me and torture me alone.

Now I finally made it through - but - but - but the man that person loved so much - doesn't love me anymore -"

By the end of the story, she was sobbing and her tears fell into the bird's nest porridge.

Lu Yanbai's heart felt like it was being squeezed by something, and he felt very uncomfortable.

He felt very sad about Leng Li’s experience.

However, he was unable to follow her words and say anything to comfort her.

He couldn't even do a white lie.

After a long while, he said faintly: "Since you have survived, things will get better and better in the future!"

Leng Li didn't say anything else, but just fed the bird's nest porridge into his mouth silently.

The tears mixed with the bird's nest porridge were swallowed into the stomach.

Such a scene made her look even more pitiful and lovable.

Lu Yanbai felt a sour and bitter feeling in his chest. He had no appetite to begin with, and now he found the food in his hand even harder to swallow.

He simply put down the bowl in his hand, stood up, and walked to the balcony outside the ward to breathe the fresh air outside.

The ward was too depressing, and I felt like I couldn't breathe staying in there.

He didn't know how things turned out like this.

The fiancée who had left suddenly came back.

If she had really changed her mind and left him, he would have completely cut off ties with her and never had any contact with her again.

But she is by my side. She barely escaped death and finally crawled back from the gates of hell. Now she is still very weak.

In this situation, how can he distance himself from her?

If she committed suicide because of his rejection, wouldn't he be guilty of killing a person?

Although he didn't think he really had the charm to make a woman love him so much that she would not care about her own life.

But Leng Li’s situation is different.

She had an unhappy childhood, so she longed for warmth.

Once they get a little warmth, they will regard this feeling as a life-saving straw and try their best to climb up.

However, if this warmth suddenly disappeared, she would sink to the bottom of the river again, slowly being swallowed and drowned by the river water, and completely losing the desire to survive.

Lu Yanbai completely lost his mind. He stood on the balcony, closed his eyes, and took deep breaths repeatedly to relieve the depression in his heart.

Leng Li also lost her appetite. After eating more than half of it, she couldn't eat any more. She put the bowl on the bedside table, looked at Brother Jie aggrievedly, and sobbed, "Brother Jie, did I accidentally make Xiao Bai unhappy again?"

Brother Jie sighed and comforted him, "Don't think too much. He is in a very confused mood right now and needs time to sort it out. You have to believe him, he will figure it out."

As he said that, he stood up and walked to the balcony, took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Lu Yanbai: "Would you like one?"

Lu Yanbai was about to reach out to take it, but then he remembered something and retracted his hand.

"No more smoking! Leng Li can't smell cigarettes in her current condition!"

Brother Jie had just put the cigarette in his mouth, but after hearing what he said, he put it back into the cigarette box in annoyance.

He held the lighter in his hand with boredom: "I know you feel bad! Anyone would feel bad if they were alone! How about this, I'll stay here with Leng Li, and you go back to the hotel to see Miss Hua first."

When Lu Yanbai heard that he wanted to go back to the hotel by himself, his eyes lit up instantly.

"You're not going to stop me?"

Brother Jie glanced at his left chest and said, "Is it any use for me to stop you? Your body is here, but your heart has already flown away! From the time the accident happened until now, Miss Hua must have been waiting for you. Miss Hua must have been worried about you after not seeing you for such a long time."

Seeing that he could finally go back to find Hua Kexin, Lu Yanbai finally smiled, patted Brother Jie on the shoulder and said, "Then I'll leave this to you. I'll go find Kexin first."

Seeing that he finally smiled from the bottom of his heart, Brother Jie's mood also improved a lot.

"Yes! Call me if you need anything."

"I have to leave first because I have something to do. Brother Jie will stay here to take care of you. Call me if you have anything!"

Lu Yanbai couldn't wait to find Hua Kexin. He walked from the balcony to the ward, and left after hurriedly saying something.

As soon as he put his hand on the doorknob to lock it, Leng Li ran over barefoot and grabbed his clothes: "Xiaobai, where are you going? I want you to stay with me."

Lu Yanbai was afraid that telling her that he was going to look for Hua Kexin would irritate her again, so he said tactfully: "I really have something urgent to do, I have to go out quickly! Brother Jie is here, you can find him if you have anything."

Leng Li looked at him pitifully, her eyes filled with tears: "Is there anything more important than being with me?"

Lu Yanbai looked at her aggrieved eyes and suddenly felt as if he had done something unforgivable. An inexplicable sense of guilt surged in his heart.

Damn.

How could he feel this way?

It was not his fault that Leng Li became like this. He was not the one who made her like this.

He was not responsible for her life experience, nor was he responsible for her cancer.

After they met, he felt that he had been very good to her and had a clear conscience.

The reason why she is pitiful is that fate is unfair to her and it has nothing to do with him, so why should he feel guilty?
