“Xiao Ni ……” Yu Liu Liu is the person who knows best what is going on with Fanfan and Fanni, and once he saw this, he grabbed Fanni’s hand uneasily.
She grabbed a little harder, Fanny looked back at her and smiled bitterly, “I’m fine, my brother and Miss Zhong are boyfriend and girlfriend, they left together, they should be going on a date, I can understand, I happen to also have to accompany my classmates, I wouldn’t have had time.”
Fanny didn’t know what she was saying, she was a little incoherent.
At the end of the sentence, she simply pulled Lin Haolin and headed out of the ward as well.
“Brother Qiqi, take a good rest, I’ll come back to see you guys another day.”
“Xiao Ni!” Yu Liu Liu shouted, Fanny had already dragged Lin Haolin away.
She looked back down at Tang Qianqi and reached out to slap him on the shoulder, “Xiao Ni is obviously in a bad mood, you were right next to her just now, why didn’t you pull her back?”
“I think she’s fine, it’s Brother Fanfan who’s in a bad mood, are you worried about the wrong person?” Tang Qianqi’s shoulder hurt and he reached out to rub it, defending himself.
“She even called you Brother Qi, isn’t that unusual enough?” Yu Liu Liu retorted.
Tang Qianqi: “……” That’s too much to talk about.
–
Fanny dragged Lin Haolin all the way out of the ward and walked straight outside the hospital building.
Standing in the street with people coming and going, she jerked to a halt and looked up at the traffic in front of her, suddenly a little confused as to where she should go.
“Nee-san, are you hungry? Let’s find a place nearby for afternoon tea?” Lin Haolin asked as he pulled her along and spoke.
“I ……” Fanny wanted to say she wasn’t hungry, they had just come out for dinner, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she noticed her perversity and quieted down again, allowing Lin Haolin to lead her, towards the cafe next to her.
He ordered a caramel macchiato for Fanny and a strawberry cake for her, then handed her the fork.
“It’s all sweet, your favourite flavour, try it and you might get in a better mood.”
“Thanks.” Fanny took the fork from his hand and dug a piece of cake into her mouth.
Like Lin Haolin had said, the sweet taste melted in her mouth and the bitterness in her heart seemed to be washed away.
She blinked and looked at Lin Haolin, wanting to say something and then stopping.
“You don’t have to make a point of explaining anything to me, just make yourself happy and I can ask nothing.” Lin Haolin met her gaze and flirted with a smile.
Hearing him say that, Fanny was relieved and didn’t say anything else, bowing her head and eating in silence.
Before she finished a piece of cake, her phone rang.
“Who’s calling?” Lin Haolin asked more than once when he saw her delay in answering it.
Fanny squeezed her phone tighter and pursed her lips, “My grandfather.”
Fanny snapped back to her senses and picked up the phone.
Fanny’s great grandfather, Fan Yu’s grandfather, was already ninety-nine years old this year.
The old man had been recuperating abroad, too old to withstand the torment, and seldom returned to China. Usually, if Fanny wanted to see her grandfather, she had to make a special trip abroad to visit him.
The daily contact was relatively rare, and it was the sudden call from the old man that surprised her so much this time.
Within a minute of the call being picked up, Lin Haolin saw her face change colour.
With that, Fanny hung up the phone.
“Is something wrong? Why do you look so surprised?” Lin Haolin grabbed her arm and shook the dazed Fanny.
