Chapter 366: Chapter 366: It Really Needs to Be Understood

Suddenly, a captivating light shot from his eyes, He Xing rose to his feet and rummaged through the bar for his car keys before striding purposefully toward the exit.

Soon, a luxurious car ignited its engine and shot off like lightning, leaving a long trail of tire friction on the ground, along with a faint smell of gasoline.

By the time the car came to a stop, it had arrived at the hospital entrance, Ji Liangchuan stepped out, ready to head towards the Inpatient Department, but after a moment’s thought, he walked out of the hospital instead.

A few minutes later, he returned, one hand holding a bouquet of lilies, the other carrying an exquisite fruit basket, no longer hesitant, he made his way to the Inpatient Department, inquired about Fu Han’s ward, and walked straight to it.

The high-end ward was very quiet, with not a single person in the hallway. In addition to the faint scent of disinfectant, there was also the light fragrance of Osmanthus wafting over on the breeze.

Somehow, as Ji Liangchuan walked, he found his steps slowing involuntarily, as if the closer he got to that person, the calmer his heart became.

Memories unfolded before his eyes, the white walls on either side of the corridor turned into screens for a movie projector, displaying scenes of his time with Taozi, a girl who had the exact same face as Fu Han.

In a foreign land, on unfamiliar streets full of charm, he walked hand in hand with Taozi, enveloping her with his coat as they kissed beneath a sky full of snowflakes.

The beauty of the memories was directly proportional to the pain he felt when Taozi left.

Even though several years had passed, Ji Liangchuan still felt an acute sense of pain when he revisited those memories, as if the agony of losing a loved one had occurred just yesterday.

For years, if he was alone at night, he would be unable to sleep, forcing him to seek the company of one woman after another, yet none of them managed to leave even a vague impression in his mind.

The more one-night stands he had, the more he yearned for the girl who had smiled up at him amidst the snowstorm, her eyes brimming with unabashed, pure love, a love he doubted he would ever encounter again in his lifetime.

With these thoughts, Ji Liangchuan’s eyes began to moisten, with tears swirling at the brink of falling.

Suddenly, footsteps sounded from behind him, and a gentle voice spoke up: "Sir, may I ask who you’re looking for?"

A nurse’s uniform brushed past Ji Liangchuan as he blinked forcefully, pushing back the tears welling in his heart, and replied in as calm a voice as he could muster, "I’m looking for Fu Han."

"Miss Fu Han is in this ward." The nurse’s voice was as gentle as ever, filled with faint goodwill, reminiscent of the drifting scent of Osmanthus.

"Thank you." Under the nurse’s attentive gaze, Ji Liangchuan made his way to Fu Han’s bedside. He didn’t see her at first glance and knocked on the door out of politeness.

Two seconds later, a slit opened in the bed covers, and Fu Han’s face peeked out, half obscured by disheveled hair, making it difficult to discern her expression, but her eyes shone brightly, like the sky after a torrential rain.

Although Ji Liangchuan had braced himself for this moment, gazing into those clear spring-like eyes made his heart race uncontrollably.

He gazed greedily into Fu Han’s eyes, although he had seen them on her wedding day, yet now it felt as if it had been a long, long time since he had last seen them.

Once Fu Han realized the visitor was Ji Liangchuan, she propped herself up to sit, her mood far from cheerful. She asked indifferently, "Mr. Ji, what brings you here?"

Since He Xing’s departure, except for the routine nurse check-ups, Fu Han had been cocooned in her blankets. At first, she had cried, but when the tears wouldn’t come anymore, she tried to sleep but found it impossible, until the moment Ji Liangchuan arrived.

Ji Liangchuan averted his gaze awkwardly, a faint blush on his fair face matching the blue printed shirt he wore. He resembled a boy in his school days, bashful and sincere, upon encountering his muse.

He coughed twice awkwardly and said, "I... I heard you had an argument with He Xing, and I wanted... wanted to check on you."

"Heard?" Fu Han’s mouth curved into a faint smile, "It must have been He Xing who told you. Since when can he not bear even a slight grievance, hurrying to tell others about it?"

Ji Liangchuan’s face changed several times with helplessness and a hidden joy as he sighed and said, "Don’t be angry with him. He Xing is only human, he can’t keep everything bottled up inside. And moreover..."

Pausing, Ji Liangchuan sneakily observed Fu Han’s expression before continuing, "And it wasn’t He Xing who brought it up. He came to drink with me, and only after I asked, did he tell me."

Fu Han’s expression softened slightly, and she asked unnaturally, "Did He Xing get drunk?"

"No, no, he didn’t get drunk," Ji Liangchuan replied in a hurry. "I watched over him; there was no way I would let him drink too much. He’s already headed to the company, which is why I came to see you."

Fu Han’s gaze shifted from Ji Liangchuan to the window, and after a long silence, she murmured softly, "Thank you."

Ji Liangchuan also fell into silence, his eyes fixed on the lilies he had bought, yet his peripheral vision remained on Fu Han.

For a moment, the ward was exceptionally quiet, only the breeze from the window carrying in strands of cool air, dispersing the inexplicable anxiety in Fu Han’s heart.

After what seemed like an eternity, Ji Liangchuan was the first to break the silence: "Fu Han, your face... it upsets me. I know some people with great medical skill. Do you need my help?"

"Thank you, but there’s no need." Fu Han’s voice was harsher than she intended, and she coughed awkwardly before adding unnaturally, "My uncle has already arranged for a doctor from M Country. I will fly back to M Country the day after tomorrow."

Ji Liangchuan’s expressions went through several changes, as if the news was too shocking. It took him quite a few seconds to compose himself before he spoke again, his eyes reflecting a complexity of emotions, "Then... will He Xing be going with you?"

For some reason, Fu Han felt that Ji Liangchuan was behaving strangely today, but she couldn’t put her finger on what exactly was off. She frowned but decided to speak the truth, "He won’t be going."

Ji Liangchuan’s tense back relaxed all at once, even his overly large, almost exaggerated peach blossom eyes seemed to narrow slightly, as if hinting at a barely perceptible smile, "That makes sense, He Xing is so busy with work; he really can’t get away. You... you should try to understand."

"Understand?" Fu Han couldn’t help but let out a bitter laugh, the anger she had been suppressing flaring up once more, "Indeed, I really should understand."
