Chapter 189: Chapter 201: Not Knowing How to Face ItLiving in a military family, Lin Ruonan didnât think Old Mr. Linâs education was problematic. She had always looked up to Mu Xingfeng, whom she admired, leading her to excel in combat skills but be lacking in life skills.
Thereâs no denying that this is very much like Mu Xingfeng.
"Ruonan, you donât need to do this." Mu Xingfeng knew Lin Ruonan felt self-blame and guilt, but what was done was done. If it had been someone else, he still would have shielded his comrade from that bullet.
"Xingfeng, donât say more. This time, the fault is mine. Just let me care for your injuries until you recover and leave the hospital. Itâll make me feel better." Lin Ruonan said, her eyes reddening.
Mu Xingfeng closed his eyes slightly, "Ruonan, although I took a bullet for you, I also know that it was you who brought me back when I was severely injured. You donât have to blame yourself so much. I saved your life, and you saved mine in return."
"Itâs not the same," Lin Ruonan interrupted Mu Xingfeng. "If it werenât for blocking that bullet, you wouldnât have been in such danger, almost losing your life. Xingfeng, are you saying the little favor I ask of you cannot be granted?"
Lin Ruonanâs voice trembled with helplessness and pleading.
Mu Xingfeng didnât refute her anymore. He had lost a lot of blood and had just woken up, already worn out from talking to Lin Junyang for so long. Knowing how stubborn Lin Ruonan could be, he simply closed his eyes and fell back to sleep.
Seeing Mu Xingfengâs silence, Lin Ruonan took it as acquiescence, placing the porridge aside and quietly gazing at the handsome face she had adored for nearly twenty years, completely unaware of a lonely figure standing at the door.
"Boss," Assistant Qi couldnât help but speak to the boss, who had been standing outside the door for a long time.
Gu Haoyu waved his hand, "Xingfeng just fell asleep. Letâs come back another time."
With those words, he turned and walked towards the stairs.
Assistant Qi glanced at the fruit basket in his hand. Clearly, Mu Xingfeng had been awake when they arrived, and he had heard Mu Xingfeng talking to Miss Lin. It seemed his boss was giving Mu Xingfeng and Miss Lin some space.
Assistant Qi thought he was indeed a good assistant, understanding his bossâs thoughts so well, and chased after him with the fruit basket.
Free from work at the bar, An Ran felt a bit idle, lazing on the dormitory bed and staring at her phone.
"Ranran, youâve been staring at your phone all morning. What are you looking at?"
Xiao Xiao returned from outside, curious about An Ranâs constant position, then saw Mu Xingfengâs phone number on An Ranâs screen.
Ever since An Ran returned from her incident last week, Xiao Xiao noticed that An Ran seemed preoccupied, often staring at Mu Xingfengâs number on her phone for ages without ever dialing it.
"Ranran, if you feel guilty, just call Instructor Mu. I think he would forgive you." Xiao Xiao said, sitting beside An Ran and patting her shoulder in consolation.
An Ran sighed lightly, put the phone aside, and turned over, staring at the bunk above. "Xiao Xiao, honestly, I donât know how to face Instructor Mu right now."
"Hmm?" Xiao Xiao was puzzled.
But An Ran didnât want to explain further, turning over and closing her eyes.
Xiao Xiao shook her head, seeing clearly that Instructor Muâs feelings for An Ran were far from simple gratitude, but An Ran, with her slow emotional response, just wouldnât believe it.
