I hide the white roses behind me

Chapter 243 It’s Really Much Better

If you only focus on your goal and work hard, until you get a bloody head and look up, you will realize that you have neglected the people around you.

Therefore, even if you know that you can be fearless, you will still feel uneasy.

After Xu Youli left the emergency room and found Lin Zengxian, she took the initiative to say that she was sitting in the corridor eating a sandwich and was not in a hurry to return to the emergency room.

She understood that she should give Liu Zhimin some time so that this friend could clarify some things with Lin Zengxian.

"Would you like some more water?"

Holding a water bottle with a straw in front of Liu Zhimin, Lin Zengxian only saw her take a small sip and did not take the bottle away.

Staring blankly at Lin Zengxian, Liu Zhimin shook his head, completely losing his usual cleverness.

In Liu Zhimin's impression, Lin Zengxian's care and love for her has always been serious guidance wrapped in a gentle shell. Rather than being in a "good mood", Lin Zengxian cares more about whether he can help her walk on a more correct and appropriate path.

However, what Liu Zhimin saw now was Lin Zengxian, a gentle man both inside and out. Even the word "gentle" was not enough to describe him. Instead, the word that people have said too much should be used: "tender".

From the faint smile on Lin Zengxian's lips, and his eyes that were fixed on only one person, she could feel that this person really cared about her.

This made her nose sore.

"Okay, then I won't drink anymore. I'll take you home after this drip is finished..."

After taking away the water bottle, Lin Zengxian briefly looked away, intending to take a look at his mobile phone and calculate his schedule.

Ever since he returned to the emergency room and saw Liu Zhimin sitting on the hospital bed, he noticed that Liu Zhimin's eyes were always on his face and almost never disappeared.

"Oppa."

This was the first sentence Liu Zhimin said to Lin Zengxian after waking up.

Whether Lin Zengxian asked her if she still felt uncomfortable or asked her to drink some water, she just nodded or shook her head.

Lin Zengxian accepted all of her requests. He didn't mind at all that she didn't speak, and he didn't even urge her to speak. He was satisfied as long as he knew that she was fine.

"Are you mad at me?"

The hoarse voice could not cover up the feeling of being choked. Liu Zhimin stretched out the hand that was not given the injection and grabbed Lin Zengxian's hand, with tears in her eyes.

She knew that she didn't need to think so much, and Lin Zengxian probably wouldn't bother with her, but many times her mood was not under her control, and she still couldn't help but worry about gains and losses.

“Why is Oppa mad at Jimin?”

Taking the water bottle away with his other hand, Lin Zengxian shook Liu Zhimin's cold hand and gently held it in his palm. Then he stood up from the chair, sat down on the bed, facing Liu Zhimin.

"because I……"

Obviously becoming emotional, Liu Zhimin hurriedly sat up straight and leaned forward, tightly holding Lin Zengxian's hand, his voice trembling.

Lin Zengxian's palms were so warm that he felt a surge of strength in his heart.

"There is no reason. Whether you are fully committed to practice and don't have time to pay attention to the people around you, or you decide to switch to another company, if you don't want to talk, I won't ask. If you want to talk, I will listen to you attentively. I believe you."

Putting down the water bottle, Lin Zengxian held the cold little hand with both hands and used his own palms to warm her palms and back of the hand.

"I believe you."

Looking at the other person's watery eyes, Lin Zengxian repeated it again.

Liu Zhimin bit her cracked lips and felt like a drum was beating in her heart.

It was deafening, my heart was beating so hard, and it seemed that even my breathing was trembling.

Her mind went blank, and she leaned forward involuntarily, took out the warm hand, put her arms around Lin Zengxian's neck, and held him in her arms.

Liu Zhimin didn't say anything, closed her eyes, let the tears flow out, nodded, and shook her head.

Lin Zengxian put his arm around her and patted her back gently.

"I know you believe me, and I know you won't hide anything from me anymore, so Jimin, don't say things like Oppa is mad at you anymore. You won't."

After saying this in a soft voice, Lin Zengxian loosened his arms, looked at Liu Zhimin's tearful face, took out a tissue and handed it to her.

Suddenly leaving the warm embrace, Liu Zhimin calmed down and remembered that she looked haggard and had tears on her face. She lowered her head to prevent Lin Zengxian from seeing her face, and hurriedly took the tissue and wiped it on her face. "But, there is one thing Oppa wants to tell you."

Lin Zengxian raised his hand and tapped Liu Zhimin's little head.

"Hey?"

Looking at Lin Zengxian with wide eyes, Liu Zhimin tried his best to think, but found that he could not think of anything. He could not think of what Lin Zengxian was going to say.

"Don't treat yourself like this anymore. You don't love yourself that much. Do you know how worried your parents and Ji-eun are?"

Lin Zengxian met Liu Zhimin's gaze with a stern face, frowned, and tapped her forehead.

“I’m sorry, Oppa.”

Although she pouted, spoke in a weak tone, lowered her eyes and frowned, raised her gaze and carefully observed Lin Zengxian, and her expression was pitiful, but Liu Zhimin's body movements were not weak at all. She touched Lin Zengxian's cheek, then pinched it and gently pulled it outwards, trying to force a smile.

"Oppa, can you please smile?"

Seeing that Lin Zengxian was unmoved and still had a stern face, Liu Zhimin lost the intention of trying to please him. She shrugged like a deflated ball, frowned, and tried to pull Lin Zengxian's hand.

"Do you know how anxious I was when I heard you were in the hospital?"

Looking at the little hand lying obediently in his palm, Lin Zengxian did not close his fingers, leaving the little hand alone.

"Sorry……"

Not feeling Lin Zengxian's return of the handshake, Liu Zhimin clenched her fingers, her fingertips nervously clasped in the palm of her hand.

She couldn't tell Lin Zengxian what she was thinking, which made her feel sad. Lin Zengxian's trust in her without asking any questions deepened this feeling.

And now, facing Lin Zengxian's worry, she felt even more guilty.

"Oppa, you won't be here for long. From now on, you..."

It was impossible for Lin Zengxian to stay in such a small place. Whether he said it explicitly or not, everyone around him knew it.

"Oppa!"

Liu Zhimin stopped Lin Zengxian from finishing his words. She anxiously raised the hand that still had the injection and covered Lin Zengxian's mouth with it. Her eyes and eyebrows were filled with anxiety as if she was about to cry.

"Okay, Oppa won't tell."

Holding the hand in his palm again, Lin Zengxian gently moved the hand that was covering his mouth away, put it back in place, and nodded at Liu Zhimin.

Lin Zengxian must leave by April at the latest. Before that, he wants to settle everything around him as much as possible.

For example, when communicating with Lin Yuliang at the TV station, the other party clearly stated that he had a close relationship with President Li, so it should not be difficult to take care of a trainee who was invited actively.

"Oppa, can I type faster?"

Holding Lin Zengxian's hand tightly, Liu Zhimin raised the hand that was receiving the injection and pointed at the flow rate regulator.

"what happened?"

Taking a look at the less than half empty bottle, Lin Zengxian patted Liu Zhimin's shoulder soothingly, motioning for her to sit back on the pillow.

"I……"

The words were about to come out, but stopped. Liu Zhimin's brain raced and he changed his words.

"I feel much better now. I haven't seen sparks for a long time. I want to go see it."

In fact, what she wanted to say was that she didn't want to waste her time lying in bed, when Lin Zengxian was right by her side and seemed to do whatever she wanted.

"Is it really better?"

He didn’t know what Liu Zhimin was thinking, and he also knew that Liu Zhimin was definitely not “much better”, but he couldn’t resist the expectation and closeness in her eyes, so Lin Zengxian reached out and grasped the flow rate regulator.

"Well, really."

Really, it feels much better seeing you around.
