Once Upon A One Night Stand

Chapter 130

Shu Tian cast her eyes down, shook her head, and sobbed, "I don't know..."

This man had never mentioned a word to her. Even when he had just tried to explain it, he had never

said anything about that. Proud as he was, he was still willing to do all this for her, and he even chose

to hide it for fear that she would feel guilty.

"Miss Shu, I've never seen Mr. Li torture himself like this for the sake of any woman other than you.

Nothing is more painful for Mr. Li than your departure." Having been working with Li Han for so many

years, Zhang Bikun knew him very well. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Before Shu Tian appeared in his life, Li Han loved his work the most, but now he didn't want anything.

He even gave up his meetings, regardless of however important they were, just for the purpose of

finding her soon.

Zhang Bikun watched his despair and felt poignant.

"Mr. Li doesn't know how to express his feelings. Miss Shu, I hope you can be more considerate of his

character. Please don't feel offended by my words ..."

"I won't." Shu Tian interrupted him softly and exhaled deeply. "Thank you for telling me. If you didn't,

maybe I'll continue to blame him."

Communication between them was too scarce. He was not good at expressing himself, and her heart

was too fragile.

"It was indeed an accident that night, but Mr. Li would never have an affair with Miss Jiang. I have

already looked for her and you can ask her in person then." Zhang Bikun was afraid that she would

continue to misunderstand and quickly explained.

Shu Tian wasn't in the mood to dwell on her misunderstanding now, as all she wanted to do was to go

back to the ward and see if his fever had subsided.

After their sincere talk, Zhang Bikun left Shu Tian alone with him.

In the ward, everything was quiet except for the feeble sound of the humidifier. The man on the bed

was pale and his lips were chapped due to the lack of water. The doctor said that he should not drink

water yet and could only rely on the infusion to relieve his thirst.

Because of pneumonia, his breathing was a little dull, and even when he was lying, he appeared to be

troubled by a strong sense of fatigue.

Shu Tian stood by the bed and watched. The longer she examined him, the more she couldn't bear her

emotions. It seemed that he had not been in good health recently. It hadn't been too long after he had

had his last fever, but this time his illness was even worse.

The incandescent light overhead shone on his face, where his brows furrowed slightly even when he

was asleep. Shu Tian thought it was because of the light, so she turned around and was about to turn it

off, but just as she took a step forward, her wrist was grabbed.

"Don't go."

A dry voice came from behind. She abruptly halted and turned her head to look. The man's eyes were

closed and he did not wake up, but he grabbed her with his hand in which the doctor had inserted the

needle.

Shu Tian was taken aback. Afraid that the needle would move, she quickly put his hand back on the

bed. Then she wanted to let go of him, but he tightened his grip on her. "Don't go..."

Shu Tian felt as if she had been punched in the heart, a sour feeling swelling and pervading within. It

turned out that... he was so insecure.

She squatted down and leaned her head against his hand. Her voice was soft as she coaxed, "I won't

leave. I'll leave only when you wake up."

She cooed him with gentle words extremely patiently. Her comfort seemed to work, as the grip of his

large hand on her gradually relaxed a little, and the blood vessels on it were not so tense.

Shu Tian heaved a sigh of relief and pulled the chair over with another arm with difficulty. She held his

hand and sat down to wait.

Minutes ticking away, she was also exhausted after a few days of light sleep. Not long after, she leaned

over and fell asleep beside the bed as well.

When Fu Qingtong heard of it and got to the hospital, it was already twenty minutes later. She

anxiously asked the doctor for the ward number and rushed over. Zhang Bikun could not stop her. After

all, she was Miss Shu's friend and he did not dare to offend her.

Dashing to the door in one breath, Fu Qingtong was about to turn the doorknob when she inadvertently

looked through the glass bar of the ward door.

Her hand that was to open the door immediately stopped, and Zhang Bikun ran over just in time. "Miss

Fu, you can't..."

Fu Qingtong raised her hand to interrupt him, but she did not look back at him as she fixed her eyes on

the overlapping figures of a couple in the ward. Zhang Bikun followed her gaze and was also taken

aback.

In the ward, the woman's petite figure lay on the side of the bed, her head resting next to the man's

arm. Both of them slept soundly, but their joined hands did not part. Darkness spilled as if it was the

blackest ink outside the window, but the scene inside the ward was unusually warm and cozy.

Zhang Bikun breathed a sigh of relief and diverted his gaze at Fu Qingtong. "Miss Fu, Mr. Li has been

looking for Miss Shu for a long time. Now that their misunderstanding has finally been resolved, let's

leave some space for them."

"Misunderstanding?" Fu Qingtong finally turned around and pointed at the man in the door. "Is it a

misunderstanding that he slept with another woman?"

Zhang Bikun had no choice but to repeat the explanation again. Seeing that she was still skeptical, he

said, "Don't worry. If there is really something fishy, Miss Shu will not forgive Mr. Li so soon."

Fu Qingtong believed that, though. Shu Tian attached great importance to the purity of love, and she

had clear principles and limits, thus by no means likely to turn a blind eye to anything unagreeable for

her. But now it seemed that they had indeed rectified the misunderstanding according to the situation

inside.

Thinking of her absent-mindedness and abnormality these days, Fu Qingtong waved her hand at

Zhang Bikun and left without further ado.

[...]

When Shu Tian woke up again, it was already the next morning.

She opened her eyes to find an extremely comfortable pillow and a slightly hot chest instead of the bed

of the ward...

Looking at the magnified handsome face in front of her, she took a double-take to recall what had

happened yesterday, but... She remembered that she had fallen asleep in a chair. Why was she in bed

now?

They were so close that in the blink of an eye, her eyelashes accidentally brushed against the man's

chest, causing a slight itch.

Li Han had woken up once in the middle of the night. Although his fever had subsided, some of the

inflammation still lingered after the high fever. Seeing her lying awkwardly on the side, he simply

carried her to the bed.

The hospital bed was not spacious, and he held her in his embrace until dawn.

Their eyes met, and the warm morning sun shone into the ward. The two of them looked at each other

through a thin layer of misty beams, feeling fabulously unreal.

"You're awake." In the end, he broke the silence and held her even harder.

Shu Tian buried her face in his chest and whispered to reply, "Yeah."

"I carried you up last night when I saw you sleeping uncomfortably." The man explained in a low voice,

afraid that she would resist again. After a moment of silence, he still couldn't smother his impulse to

ask, "I've explained everything I need to. Are you still angry?"

For some reason unknown, after hearing him, Shu Tian felt her face burning. She cleared her throat

and responded feebly without adequate confidence. "I'm."

"Okay." The man replied naturally and generously. "I'll let you interrogate Jiang Mengyao yourself

today. Do whatever you want to vent out your anger."

Hearing his childish words, Shu Tian quirked up her lips unconsciously, but still groused with a tinge of

pretended irritation in her voice, "Do you think that would be all done?"

"Whatever else you want."

Shu Tian didn't know how to answer. After mulling over it, she looked up at the man's sexy chin and

muttered sincerely, "I hope you can recover soon."
