Chapter 129: Did He Confess?
Shen You and Xie Xiao looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other’s eyes.
Ling Rui told his story for more than half an hour as if he was afraid that if he suddenly left, others would forget his story.
He gradually became tired and leaned on the hospital bed, slowly falling asleep.
Huo Xiao sighed, walked forward, and helped Ling Rui lie down on the bed to sleep.
Shen You and Xie Xiao looked at Huo Xiao carefully taking care of Ling Rui with a surprised expression on their faces.
After making sure that Ling Rui had slept soundly, Huo Xiao waved at Shen You and Xie Xiao.
The three of them walked out of the ward. Huo Xiao first went to the nurses’ station before walking up to Shen You and Xie Xiao.
“Let’s go first! I’ve already informed the nurses to notify me if Ling Rui has anything!” Huo Xiao said as he stared at Shen You.
Naturally, Xie Xiao also noticed Huo Xiao’s eye expression.
She blinked her eyes and then said to Shen You, “Oh yes, I’m going to that…”
“That yoga studio!” Xie Xiao said as she pressed one hand on Shen You’s. “You guys go back first. I’m leaving now!”
Without waiting for Shen You’s reply, Xie Xiao had already rushed out in a few steps and disappeared at the turn of the corridor in an instant.
Shen You reached out to grab Xie Xiao, but it was already too late.
Shen You slowly put her hand down and sighed helplessly. “Why are you running so fast?”
Huo Xiao glanced at Shen You and said, “Let’s talk, okay?”
Shen You did not reject this time and nodded.
The two of them walked to the small park outside the hospital and found a bench to sit on.
Huo Xiao thought for a moment and said to Shen You, “About my engagement to Wu Qi…”
Shen You smiled at Huo Xiao. “It’s understandable. Didn’t I almost get engaged to Zhao Nan as well?”
Hearing Shen You’s words, Huo Xiao’s expression changed.
After a moment, he slowly said, “You… don’t have anything to ask?”
Shen You shook her head. “No.”
Hearing Shen You’s resolute answer, Huo Xiao did not know whether he should be happy or angry.
The happy thing was that perhaps Shen You believed in him!
But the angry part was that he was about to get engaged, and Shen You was indifferent!
Huo Xiao’s facial expression was struggling. He looked like he wanted to say something, but he did not know how to say it.
Shen You turned to look at Huo Xiao. “Ling Rui said just now that Wu Qi likes you.”
“That’s…” Huo Xiao wanted to explain, but was stopped by Shen You.
“But just like what Ling Rui also said, you don’t like Wu Qi, right?” Shen You asked tentatively.
Huo Xiao’s eyes instantly lit up.
He looked at Shen You seriously. “Yes! I don’t like her!”
Shen You turned her head and looked at the rockery in front of her. She didn’t know how to describe her feelings at this moment.
She used to be afraid to ask Huo Xiao this question.
At that time, she was not sure why she asked this question.
Perhaps, Ling Rui’s confession today had given her more courage.
After being reborn for so long, for the first time, Shen You had more expectations.
She used to be so afraid of getting close to another person, afraid of being hurt again.
But now, perhaps, she could try again!
Huo Xiao anxiously waited for Shen You’s reaction.
Shen You could feel Huo Xiao’s anxious heartbeat.
Finally, Shen You slowly stood up and turned her back to Huo Xiao. “That’s good!”
After Shen You said that she walked away.
Huo Xiao was stunned for a moment before he quickly chased after her.
The two of them did not say anything else. Instead, they quietly walked back to the coffee shop.
Shen You pushed the door open and walked into the coffee shop. She lowered her head and walked into the kitchen.
Xie Xiao, who came back first, looked at their expressions, but she could not tell what was going on.
She rushed into the kitchen and ran to Shen You’s side. “How was it?”
“What do you mean?” Shen You pretended to be confused and asked. She continued to busy herself with her matters.
“Did Huo Xiao confess?” Xie Xiao asked as if it was a matter of course.
“Why would he confess?” Shen You wanted to laugh in her heart, but she suppressed it and asked back.
Xie Xiao frowned and looked at Shen You in disbelief. “That’s impossible! Ling Rui’s words have already clearly explained the situation. There’s no reason for Huo Xiao not to open his mouth!”
The more Xie Xiao thought about it, the more she felt that the development of this matter was different from what she had expected.
In a typical romance novel, at this stage, the male and female protagonists should have developed to the point where they would resolve the misunderstanding, then happily confess to each other and smoothly step into the marriage hall!
