Free Web NovelChapter 1549: Chapter 459: Uninvited Guest_3
"Huff... Huff..."
Don’t rush, after all, you’re an adult, older than me or whatever.
Dependable!
Yes, that’s right.
Being dependable is something to praise... place...
"Hey! I have an idea!"
"Aren’t I already quitting?"
"Don’t ask me, go ask Yan Huan, I don’t understand this stuff..."
The more she thought about it, the darker Yan Huan’s face became.
Her mouth trembled for a long time, unable to utter a single word.
"..."
Seeing this, the smile on Tong Yingying’s face grew increasingly awkward.
In the end, she even nudged Yan Huan with her elbow, hinting for him to say something.
But at that moment, Mrs. Tong sighed and looked at Yan Huan sympathetically,
"No need to say more, I understand... Sigh..."
"Sigh..."
"Why are you sighing!? And you, why are you sighing along?!"
These two just met for the first time, and they’re already acting like comrades who’ve been through hardships together, starting a club meeting right here?!
The more she thought about it, the closer Tong Yingying’s face got to her hair’s color.
In the next second, she angrily turned her head and walked away,
"Fine! Since you both despise me, and I’m no good, you two be together! You can have dinner together!"
"Hey, Sister Tong!"
"Thud!"
With that, Tong Yingying stormed off.
Yan Huan tried to reach out to stop her, but in an instant, he felt it was harder than holding down a bull, and Tong was already out the door.
"..."
As the door closed, Yan Huan turned his head to look at Mrs. Tong, who was full of helplessness.
Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly noticed her medical records beside her hospital bed.
His eyes trembled slightly, and he quickly looked at the aunt before him.
She just smiled and waved at Yan Huan, saying,
"Xiao Yan... can I call you that?"
"Ah, no problem."
"She seems more lively than before... You two probably have things to discuss, could you trouble yourself to bring her back?"
"...Sure, Auntie."
Upon hearing that, Yan Huan nodded, turned, and planned to leave the ward.
Before leaving, he glanced back at Mrs. Tong in the room.
"..."
With that glance, he pushed the door and left.
He found that Tong Yingying hadn’t gone far, just sitting on a chair not far in the corridor.
Seeing this, Yan Huan raised an eyebrow and walked over.
When she heard Yan Huan approaching, Tong Yingying glared at him fiercely and complained,
"I knew it would be like this! She already thinks I’m no good, and as soon as you get here, it turns into a criticism session!"
Looking at Tong Yingying, who looked like a fluffed-up cat, Yan Huan silently sat beside her, softly saying,
"Sister Tong, don’t you think this template is too standard?"
"...What template?"
Yan Huan thought for a moment and began explaining,
"You and your mom... well, it’s that typical, traditional, tough-love dynamic.
"Both clearly care about each other, but you just can’t say anything nice.
"Typically, as things progress, there has to be some heart-wrenching incident, and only then do the two finally understand each other’s true feelings, smoothly reconciling..."
The more Tong Yingying listened, the more her lips stiffened, but she eventually couldn’t help but comment,
"What kind of ridiculous development is that..."
"Right, it’s cliché, isn’t it?"
"But what can you do? Everyone says you shouldn’t talk like that, but everyone does it... speaking openly about your feelings? Are you crazy?"
"..."
Yan Huan blinked and turned to look at Tong Yingying, then spoke,
"I like you, Sister Tong."
"!!"
When she heard this, Tong Yingying, who was still fuming, widened her eyes and turned to look at Yan Huan.
Then, as if getting goosebumps, she rubbed her arms and muttered,
"It’s kind of... creepy, you know? Are you short of money lately?"
"..."
Sister Tong, that’s the difference between you and Bai Yi, you know?
When Bai Yi hears this, her face goes red, and she’d become coy.
Look at you...
Trying to be romantic, but you’re more like an insulator, always doing what a fire extinguisher should.
"Forget it, pretend I didn’t say anything."
Sighing like this, Yan Huan turned his head away.
"..."
As Tong Yingying looked at Yan Huan’s bemused profile, she couldn’t help but blink and also turned to look in the same direction.
In the corridor, the two sat together, and the atmosphere suddenly quieted down.
At this moment, Yan Huan suddenly remembered the medical record he saw in the ward and wanted to ask about it,
"By the way, Tong..."
However, before he could finish, he suddenly felt a slight warmth on the back of his hand.
Startled, he looked down and saw that beside him, Tong Yingying, without a word, had reached over and held his hand.
"..."
Yan Huan opened his mouth, looking at her profile.
And Tong Yingying just looked forward, lightly speaking,
"Today... thank you for specifically coming to see my mom... I’m really happy."
"..."
Although her words were plain, Yan Huan keenly noticed her lips trembling slightly under his gaze.
Seeing this, Yan Huan couldn’t help but chuckle silently, turning his head to look forward too, avoiding her nervousness and embarrassment.
At the same time, he started to speak...
"President?"
Yet, once again, a voice of confusion interrupted the conversation between Yan Huan and Tong Yingying.
Upon hearing it, Yan Huan’s eyes widened.
And beside him, Tong Yingying also paused, turning to look over.
She then saw Sakuragi Hitomi, dressed in a patient’s examination gown, staring at Yan Huan and Tong Yingying with wide eyes,
"You... Nara wasn’t joking... President, did you really come to accompany me for my check-up?"
"..."
Hearing this, Yan Huan shivered instantly, recalling Nara’s evil smile when he called at noon.
But before he could explain, he suddenly felt an incredibly ominous pressure.
Because Tong Yingying had already gripped his shoulder tightly.
"Smack!"
Yan Huan was instantly drenched in sweat, turning his head to see behind him...
Tong Yingying had transformed into a Red-haired Demon spewing fiery breath,
"So... you just came by on the way, right?"
"No... No, Sister Tong, let me explain!"
