"Sorry, senior brother. I kept you waiting." After An Ke and Bo Jinnian left the hospital, they had been preparing for their trip abroad. Finally, everything was in order, and now they were having dinner outside.
"Waiting for a beauty is never a long time. Beauties have this privilege." Bo Jinnian still had that nonchalant air about him. But such words from him caught An Ke off guard.
Thankfully, Bo Jinnian knew that An Ke might not be used to such remarks, so he stopped after just one. This made An Ke feel a bit more at ease. She wasn't stupid and could sense Bo Jinnian's feelings for her.
"Only this time of the day can cheer me up." It was already evening after An Ke and Bo Jinnian had dinner. Since Bo Jinnian had drunk some wine, to avoid drunk - driving, An Ke had no choice but to take a stroll with him.
However, breathing in the fresh air helped ease An Ke's troubled mind. She didn't have to think too much and could just immerse herself in the world.
Bo Jinnian seemed to have never seen An Ke so vulnerable before. She had always been smiling. This side of An Ke made him feel a twinge of heartache.
"An Ke, He Ting isn't dead. You don't have to feel guilty anymore. We're about to start a new life. Aren't you happy? Is there something bothering you? If so, tell me. Maybe I can help you solve it."
Bo Jinnian was willing to go through fire and water for An Ke. He wanted to see her happy. If being with him made An Ke so sad, he would rather not be with her.
"I just accidentally remembered some unhappy things. Once, a little brother told me never to cry. I should smile at my enemies. Then my enemies would be scared and might show their weaknesses, and I'd have a way to deal with them. But now, I can't even force a smile."
Bo Jinnian felt that these words sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard them for the moment. However, with the beauty in front of him, comforting her was the top priority.
"If you can't smile, then don't. You're allowed to cry in my arms for free. You should cherish this."
An Ke just stared at Bo Jinnian. At this moment, she was truly touched. Everyone wanted to see her smile, but the only one who understood her sadness was Bo Jinnian, the man she was destined to let down. An Ke suddenly threw herself into Bo Jinnian's arms and hugged him tightly.
Bo Jinnian felt a pang in his heart. This girl had a magic that made him fall for her and feel sad for her. He hugged her back. An Ke's tears flowed silently.
Bo Jinnian didn't know how much time had passed. His mind was filled with the girl in his arms. "Don't worry. I'll always be here. This is my eternal promise."
Bo Jinnian's words woke An Ke up from her daze. Everyone said "always", but "always" was always a lie. No one could accompany you forever.
An Ke suddenly pushed Bo Jinnian away. "Sorry. I was out of line. I'll treat you to dinner next time. Senior brother, let's go back quickly!"
An Ke smiled again. This time, her eyes were red. Bo Jinnian stared at her intently, with hidden affection in his eyes. "No, you don't have to be so tired around me."
Bo Jinnian was sincere, but An Ke no longer believed him. They walked in silence all the way, and the distance between them grew.
"Brother Yuan, we found An Ke as you instructed. Come and take a look quickly!" Yuan Ping instinctively hung up the phone and went to check on He Ting lying in the bed.
Sure enough, just hearing the name An Ke made He Ting react. The doctor had told him that He Ting was about to wake up. Before that, he had to deal with An Ke.
Thankfully, Li Li wasn't there at this moment. Yuan Ping tucked the corner of the quilt for He Ting. "Brother, I won't let anyone hurt you again, not even An Ke."
"Brother Yuan, we found An Ke's escape route. There were also tire marks there. We guess An Ke must have run away. Brother Yuan, do you want to go and check?"
As soon as Guo Feng came, he saw Yuan Ping with a serious face. He was also a bit scared. They all followed Yuan Ping and knew that Yuan Ping had been in a bad mood recently.
"I don't want to hear nonsense today. Just tell me where An Ke is. You don't need to worry about the rest."
Guo Feng quickly nodded. "We've checked. An Ke is with Bo Jinnian now. They've also bought plane tickets. It seems they're going abroad."
Yuan Ping nodded. He had made up his mind to go and have a clear talk with An Ke. "Delete all the information you've found now. If my brother asks you to find her later, just say you can't find her. Understand?"
Guo Feng was a bit confused about why they had to hide this from He Ting. But Yuan Ping was his boss, so he naturally followed Yuan Ping's order. "I understand, Brother Yuan."
"An Ke, An Ke..."
He Ting on the hospital bed frowned tightly. He was in a dream, reliving everything before he got injured. However, this time, An Ke chose him.
"I choose He Ting. I'm sorry, senior brother. I like He Ting..." An Ke opposite looked at Bo Jinnian apologetically.
He Ting was overjoyed. His eyes were fixed on An Ke. He thought his efforts had finally paid off. An Ke liked him, and they could live a happy life together.
Just as he was about to hug An Ke excitedly, An Ke suddenly stabbed him hard in the heart when he wasn't paying attention. He looked at this scene in disbelief.
"He Ting, I'm returning everything you did to me before. Hahaha..."
He Ting covered his chest in disbelief. He looked down and there was no knife in his chest. Then the surrounding environment suddenly brightened.
He Ting finally woke up from his dream. He opened his eyes slightly and looked at everything around him. He felt the pain in his body, and all his memories came back.
"An Ke, where is An Ke?"
He Ting quickly pressed the call button beside the bed, waiting for someone to come and explain. Sure enough, Li Li soon came with a group of doctors.
"Mr. He, your body is fine. Just have a good rest and you'll be able to leave the hospital soon." After the doctor's examination, he nodded in satisfaction.
When there were only Li Li and He Ting left in the room, He Ting finally couldn't hold back and asked, "Li Li, have you found An Ke? Is she okay?"
Li Li shook his head. "An Ke is fine. You should take care of yourself first."
To be honest, Li Li thought it wasn't worth it for He Ting. He Ting had hurt himself like this for that woman An Ke, but An Ke didn't seem to care about him.
