Chapter 189 - 201: Not Knowing How to Face It
Living in a military family, Lin Ruonan didn’t think Old Mr. Lin’s 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.
There’s no denying that this is very much like Mu Xingfeng.
"Ruonan, you don’t 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, don’t say more. This time, the fault is mine. Just let me care for your injuries until you recover and leave the hospital. It’ll 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 don’t have to blame yourself so much. I saved your life, and you saved mine in return."
"It’s not the same," Lin Ruonan interrupted Mu Xingfeng. "If it weren’t for blocking that bullet, you wouldn’t have been in such danger, almost losing your life. Xingfeng, are you saying the little favor I ask of you cannot be granted?"
Lin Ruonan’s voice trembled with helplessness and pleading.
Mu Xingfeng didn’t 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 Xingfeng’s 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 couldn’t help but speak to the boss, who had been standing outside the door for a long time.
