Addiction sets in at night; even the abstinent older man has fallen for it.

This is a rare opportunity.

Once discharged from the hospital and returned to the Qin family, it would be difficult to leave.

There's no time to think too much; let's get out of here first.

She really wanted to see Fu Zhengting.

Ask him if he remembers even a little bit about her.

It would be fine to get back here before dawn.

With that in mind, she immediately took action.

Afraid of waking Ling Jieyu, she moved very, very gently.

Ling Jieyu was blocking the way by the hospital bed, so she couldn't get down.

You have to move to the very bottom of the foot of the bed and lift your legs up quite a bit to get down.

Operating in the dark is very inconvenient; I'm even afraid to breathe too hard for fear of being discovered.

He gripped the edge of the bed with both hands, using the strength to barely keep himself on the ground.

Standing there, I felt top-heavy and lightheaded, as if I was about to float away.

If your foot isn't injured, then dizziness isn't a big deal.

Unfortunately, my feet hurt, so I can't walk too fast.

I wanted to just run away, but I was so desperate to pee that I was afraid I'd wet my pants if I didn't go to the toilet.

She took her phone out of her coat pocket, turned on the screen, looked at it, saw a restroom, and limped inside.

When closing the door, it's done very slowly, trying not to make a sound.

But it will definitely make a sound when playing the trumpet.

She was a little frustrated. She was already inside, and it would be too uncomfortable if she didn't pee.

She turned on the water in the sink; the sound was just loud enough to cover it up.

That way it won't be so awkward.

If you're sound asleep, the sound of water shouldn't wake you up.

She thought to herself with relief.

Meanwhile, Ling Jieyu outside had already opened his eyes, glancing sideways with a smirk as he looked toward the bathroom.

He couldn't fall asleep sitting up because it was uncomfortable.

I was just too sleepy, so I closed my eyes to let them rest.

He listened carefully and judged that Mu Tiantian had finished and come out.

He didn't expose him immediately and continued to pretend to be asleep.

Mu Tiantian was afraid that Ling Jieyu would wake up, so she cautiously glanced at the hospital bed. In doing so, she accidentally bumped into something and made a soft sound.

Her heart pounded with fear, and she quickly stood still.

Seeing that the person sitting down didn't make any move, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She turned on her phone and hurried towards the ward door.

She didn't notice that Ling Jieyu stood up and followed her.

Ling Jieyu was tall and had long legs, so he caught up with her in just a few steps.

Just as Mu Tiantian was about to open the door, a deep voice suddenly sounded behind her, "Where are you going so late?"

Mu Tiantian was startled again; this time, her heart almost jumped out of her throat.

She placed her hand on her heart and turned away.

Ling Jieyu's tall figure loomed over her like a mountain.

In the darkness, the man's captivating eyes stood out.

His eyes were so bright they seemed to glow.

He seemed to be smiling, his eyes filled with laughter.

She clutched her heart and it took her a long time to calm down before she looked up and glared at Ling Jieyu. "So you were already awake. You deliberately came up behind me and scared me when I was about to push the door open to leave."

It almost scared her to death.

"Am I that scary?" Ling Jieyu asked innocently.

Even if Mu Tiantian couldn't see his face clearly, she could tell from his smug tone how 'innocent' he was.

She said irritably, "Yeah, scarier than a ghost."

"You're right, sometimes people are scarier than ghosts," Ling Jieyu suddenly said, sounding quite sentimental.

His hand touched the light switch. There were two lights in the ward, and he tried turning on the inner light.

The light wasn't too glaring and didn't reach the doorway.

In the dim light, he could clearly see Mu Tiantian's angry face.

I don't know if it's because I got too angry or because I have a fever.

Even in dim lighting, you could see that her face was flushed.

Her cheeks looked like ripe peaches, which made her look strangely cute.

He couldn't resist teasing her.

He took a step forward, and as Mu Tiantian instinctively stepped back and leaned against the door, he reached out from her side and braced himself against the door, giving her a domineering door slam.

Mu Tiantian was amused by Ling Jieyu's actions.

Other women might fall for his charms, but she didn't.

She likes Fu Zhengting, so she won't be flirted with by other men.

She kept her back to the door, raising her eyes to look coldly at Ling Jieyu.

Ling Jieyu, seeing right through Mu Tiantian's thoughts, asked, "Are you planning to go find Fu Zhengting?"

Mu Tiantian awkwardly turned her face away, avoiding Ling Jieyu's gaze.

"I advise you to give up on that idea. How could you possibly leave under my watchful eye?"

Ling Jieyu said, half warning and half hinting, "Since your parents asked me to take good care of you, I will naturally keep my promise."

Mu Tiantian began to seriously examine Ling Jieyu. She wanted to know his true thoughts and asked earnestly, "Ling Jieyu, do you really intend to marry me?"

Ling Jieyu gave a roguish smile. "Why not?"

Mu Tiantian was taken aback by his reaction. "You don't mind that I like Fu Zhengting?"

She wanted Ling Jieyu to know her attitude towards Fu Zhengting: "I will never like another man in my life except Fu Zhengting."

Ling Jieyu stared directly into Mu Tiantian's eyes. The woman's eyes were very beautiful, with distinctive almond-shaped eyes. They were large and almond-shaped, and it was the first time he had ever seen such an eye shape.

Perhaps it was because of his big, bright eyes that he spoke with particular sincerity.

He doesn't believe in true love.

But Mu Tiantian spoke with such certainty that he couldn't help but wonder if true love really existed.

Remembering his father's admonitions, he became playful again, lowered his face, and stopped just before they were about to kiss...
