Chapter 55 Integrating into Your Life (Part 1)
y tried to persuade Yan Luoxi, "If you feel uncomfortable with Xiao Junhe staying here, we can arrange for him to stay elsewhere temporarily. We can maintain normal interactions with him. In case you...Chapter 55 (Part 1) Integrate into Your Life
Upon hearing what Lü An said, Shao Junhe was truly moved to tears. "Bean Sprout, you haven't let me down growing up together from a young age; it's still you who cares about me the most! Don’t worry, from now on, I, Lu An, won’t compete with you for anything anymore and will never bully you again!"
Hearing this, Shao Junhe smiled warmly.
Little did they know that their casual words today would turn into a future ordeal.
Ming Zixi stood up and made a face at Lü An. "Look at you—what an act of friendship!" He stretched out the middle characters for emphasis.
"Are you still mad at me Do you think that just because I can’t move, you can get away with bullying me" Lü An narrowed his eyes and clenched his fists so tightly that they snapped. "Don't forget, we’re in the South, where this area belongs to those under my command. If you don’t believe it, all I have to do is make a phone call, and as soon as you step out of the hospital, you’ll be carried back here like me."
Ming Zixi felt chills run down his spine upon hearing this; he knew Lü An was speaking the truth. How would those street punks recognize him, a big shot from Beijing If Lü An gave the order, they could get rid of him as easily as playing a game.
The small group that had rushed in finally left under Lü An’s coaxing and intimidation.
Once everyone was gone, Lü An quickly turned to look at Yan Luoxi and asked anxiously, "Are you angry"
The morning sun cast a few rays onto Li An's face, highlighting the shadow under his straight nose. Even though Yan Luoxi had once been in close contact with the dazzling star Ran Xuchao, she still had to admit that Li An was the most handsome man she had ever seen. Despite the slight pallor from his injuries, he did not detract from his striking appearance.
Yan Luoxi smiled tenderly at Li An and said, "What's there to be angry about It’s actually good that they're here; otherwise, Brother would worry and we'd have a cold New Year."
"You really think so" Li An scrutinized Yan Luoxi's expression, trying to discern her true feelings.
In fact, when Li An hurriedly asked Ming Zixing and the others to leave earlier, it wasn't because he was more concerned about his appearance than his friends. Rather, he felt that Yan Luoxi didn’t fit in with them, and he feared she might feel uncomfortable if they stayed.
"Of course I do. They are your friends, so naturally, they're also my friends. If I want to live together with you, then I need to try to integrate into your life and become part of your social circle. That way, you won't be caught in the middle or have your friends say that you favor appearance over friendship!" As Yan Luoxi spoke, she playfully made a silly face at Li An.
Li An was moved by her words but covered his reaction with a teasing remark, "Luoxi, you should really go into singing; what you said just now is more beautiful than any song."
Yan Luoxi giggled and responded, "It's an honor to receive your praise. I'll apply for the music academy tomorrow."
In the sunlight, Yan Luoxi’s face was rosy; Li An lying down saw from the side that her long eyelashes were slightly curled upward like fluttering little fans, and a smile curved her lips as she blinked, with fine hairs visible on her skin in the light.
Li An felt his heart soften immeasurably just by looking at Yan Luoxi. He couldn't help but feel a profound sense of satisfaction and happiness from simply gazing upon her.
Yan Luoxi and Li An lay in bed chatting for a while before they each went to sleep.
In the quiet hospital room, there was an unspoken understanding and warmth that allowed them to look at each other with peaceful hearts as they fell asleep.
Not long after Yan Luoxi and Li An woke up from their nap in the afternoon, Ming Zixi led his small team back again.
The moment Li An saw them arrive, he felt as if an iron lid had been placed on his head, making him very tired. But he couldn't always ask people to leave, and Yan Luoxi also assured him that she wasn’t bothered by these friends of hers. So, he could only force himself to muster up energy to deal with them.
Ming Zixi was naturally bold; without any hesitation, he sat down on Li An's hospital bed, causing Li An's head to spin. Seeing Ming Zixi sitting down, Shao Meizhuo also thought for a moment and then followed suit by sitting on the other side of Li An’s bed, which caused his head to spin again; it was almost making him vomit.
He had wanted to cough as a hint but was physically unable to do so. He could only wait until both large figures were seated before speaking up.
"What's the matter with you two Didn't you hear what the doctor said I’m a patient suffering from cerebral concussion; your movements are too jarring for my bed! This room is big enough to accommodate your butts elsewhere, why do you have to sit on my hospital bed" Li An suddenly felt very annoyed. He truly wanted to be gentle with this group of people, but they also needed to have something endearing about them.
"Oh, I see!" This time, Ming Zixi obeyed and swayed his body before getting off the bed. Shao Meizhuo saw Li An's pale face and followed suit by standing up as well.
Li An was shaken twice more, truly feeling like he would vomit; he covered his mouth with one hand while staring at Ming Zixi and Shao Meizhuo with his captivating starry eyes, full of sorrow and anger.
"Come on, come on! Stop fooling around; he's really suffering!" Upon seeing this, Shao Junhe hurriedly tried to mediate by smacking the backs of Ming Zixi and Shao Meizhuo’s heads and scolding them.
“I just made him a little dizzy, and he got upset. How can he be so delicate!” Ming Zixi gloated with a smile, "That time when we went to play badminton, I sprained my arm, and he insisted on pretending to be a Mongolian doctor who could set bones. He fiddled around for half an hour without fixing it, and the pain made me cramp up. While I was crying here, he was laughing so hard that his hands were shaking over there. Today’s revenge is pretty mild compared to that!"
Li An's dizziness passed, and after gritting his teeth, he didn’t argue back; who could blame him for all the mischief he had caused before!
Yan Luoxi watched from the side and was tempted to laugh, but Li An glared at her with sorrowful eyes in the dim light. She couldn't show too much joy, so she pursed her lips tightly and lowered her head.
Ming Zixi might have still felt that he hadn’t gotten back at Li An enough and took out various snacks from his pocket. He put one bun on Yan Luoxi’s lap and then started sharing the treats with Ruan Weijie, Shao Meizhuo, and others.
Since the surgery, Li An had been eating only clear soups and liquid foods. Seeing Ming Zixi leading his small group to feast on fragrant Sichuan duck necks, braised pork feet, crispy roast chicken... He really felt envious.
"Are you guys deliberately coming here to eat Is this another of your vicious ideas, Ming Zixi" Li An was steaming with anger.
“It wasn’t me! This is everyone's idea. We thought we’d bring some snacks for Luoxi while we’re here!” Ming Zixi looked very innocent as he widened his eyes and even dragged Yan Luoxi out to shield himself.
"You who are accustomed to eating the finest delicacies, how could you suddenly want to eat these things You just wanted to bring them here to tempt me!" The more Li An thought about it, the angrier he got, his face flushing red. them.Hunky men and beautiful women are made for each other and should receive everyone's blessings.Ni Xuanyi went into the restroom to wash her face several times.
