Zhao Yilin leaned against her pillow with a smile on her face. She had heard from Fang Xinying about how thrilling the events of the past few days had been, from death to life.

"I was unconscious all this time, as if I had slept. I didn't even know I was so close to death."

Huo Yelin, who was sitting on the edge of the bed peeling an apple, heard the question and the knife in his hand froze.

Zhao Yilin looked out of the window and saw the sunlight shining in. She felt good and said, "But with you praying for me, Death will probably not be able to pull me away."

With a slight movement of his wrist, Huo Yelin cut off a small piece of apple and handed it to her with a toothpick, "Eat the apple."

Zhao Yilin turned to look at him.

Huo Yelin's gaze fell onto an unknown direction. In any case, ever since she had woken up, she had not met his gaze.

The corners of Zhao Yilin's mouth widened into a smile. "Yes, thank you." She held the toothpick in her hand and tried to put it in her mouth, but the apple was too slippery and she slipped off the toothpick and rolled to the ground.

Zhao Yilin looked at the toothpick and smiled embarrassedly.

Huo Yelin was stunned for a moment. "Let me cut you another piece." He bent down to pick up the apple. Then, he quickly cut off an apple. This time, he inserted two toothpicks into the apple.

"It won't fall this time." He handed the apple to her again. Zhao Yilin twisted the quilt silently and took the apple.

Fang Xinying shivered. She felt that she could no longer hold on with her electric light bulb, so she stood up to leave. "About that …" I'll go back first. "

Zhao Yilin grabbed her and said, "Why are you leaving? Do you want to stay for a little longer?"

Fang Xinying smiled as she tried to pry her hand away, "I have something to do. I have an urgent matter. I'll come visit you another day."

Once Fang Xinying left, she and Huo Yelin were the only ones left in the ward. Both of them had their eyes lowered, remaining silent.

Zhao Yilan sighed in her heart. After the life and death experience on TV, the two of them had been talking one-sidedly. When a man saved a woman, that would be adding fuel to the flame with a hero saving a beauty. However, if the opposite was true, in the man's heart, besides gratitude, there was also a deep sense of self-blame and shame.

She could feel the sudden rise in their relationship. It was so hot that she needed time to get used to it.

"Ye Lin." Zhao Yilin mustered the courage to speak first.

"Yes." Huo Yelin slightly leaned forward, as if he wanted to know what she wanted.

"I want some water."

"Alright." Huo Yelin picked up the thermos and poured a cup of warm water in front of her.

Zhao Yilin turned her head away and said with a slightly flushed face, "Feed it to me."

For the first time, Huo Yelin raised his head to look at her. His eyes sparkled as he remained silent for a moment, before he sat by the side of the bed.

He reached for Zhao Yilin's back and pulled her into his arms.

Zhao Yilin sighed comfortably as she smelled his scent.

Huo Yelin put the glass of water to her lips and looked at the water in the glass. Little by little, it flowed into her mouth at a steady pace.

After drinking the water, Huo Yelin did not immediately put her down. Instead, he hugged her even tighter.

Zhao Yilin felt warm inside. She raised her head and reached out to touch the stubble on his chin. It felt a little stinging, but it felt like a different kind of hand.

Huo Yelin's body tensed up as he lowered his head to look at her.

Zhao Yilin gave him a big smile. "It's time to shave."

"Eli, I'm sorry."

Zhao Yilin felt a pang in her heart. He bent down and wrapped her up with his big body.

Zhao Yilin closed her eyes and felt his cold lips brush over her forehead, eyes, nose, and cheeks. Finally, she pressed his lips against hers.

The pleasure of his tongue being sucked spread from his heart to his entire body. Even the wound on his chest was not as painful.

After a long while, their lips slowly parted.

Zhao Yelin's face was slightly flushed as she looked at him. Huo Yelin wanted to put her back on the bed.

"Don't let go, I like it when you hug me."

A smile appeared on Huo Yelin's face as he shifted her body into a more comfortable position.

The midday sun shone on the pale yellow floor, and the room was warm and bright.

Zhao Yelin had her eyes closed and a smile hung on her lips. She was half asleep when she heard Huo Yelin say, "What I said that night was just anger. Nonsense. It was my despicable, shameless jealousy. "You should slap my face and kick me fiercely instead of blocking bullets for me."

Zhao Yilin didn't open her eyes. He was always proud and aloof, but now she had to apologize to him.

"Don't do that again, okay? I'm a man, I'm strong, I'll be fine if I get shot a few times. "

"Nonsense, you're the same as me."

Zhao Yelin suddenly thought of something important. She struggled to sit up, but Huo Yelin held her down and said, "What's the matter? You can't move recklessly."

"Ye Lin, I have something to ask you. You have to tell me the truth."

Huo Yelin saw that she was very serious and instantly understood what she wanted to ask.

"All along, you're unwilling to admit that I'm your girlfriend because you're being chased. You don't want to implicate me, right?"

Zhao Yilin's heart skipped a beat, and she grabbed his lapels with both hands.

Seeing how weak she was and not forgetting to ask such a question, Huo Yelin laughed and smacked her on the forehead, "Are you stupid? It's obvious, but you still need to ask? "

Zhao Yilin clutched her forehead in annoyance, "No, you have to say it yourself. I once saw an anime in which there was a dregs of a man cheating, the woman asked him you clearly said you loved me, and you cheated. No, I never said that. You said that he's not scum! "

Huo Yelin: "..."

Zhao Yilin saw the faint smile on his face and pointed at him, "You, you don't want to play this game, right? If you don't tell me, you can forget about touching me from now on! " She wrapped herself in the quilt and pushed him away.

Huo Yelin was afraid that she would be able to stretch her wounds. With one hand holding her wrists, and the other holding her tightly in his embrace, he said, "Stop fooling around. I won't forgive you if you are injured."

Zhao Yilin was furious, and she struggled even harder.

Huo Yelin did not dare to provoke her again. "Alright, alright. I'll talk. I'll talk."

Zhao Yilin calmed down, her eyes filled with anticipation.

Huo Yelin looked at her seriously and said, "I'm being chased by the mafia and my future prospects are uncertain. I don't dare to make a promise to you, let alone marry you."

Tears welled up in Zhao Yilin's eyes as she shook her head anxiously. That wasn't what she wanted to hear, she didn't want him to be so distant from their relationship.

Huo Yelin held her face in his hands and firmly said, "But I really love you."

Zhao Yilin leaned against his chest. Although he was not as successful as she had expected, he could feel what she was thinking.

At lunch time, Zhao Yilin sat leaning against the table, looking at the dishes in front of her. She had no appetite at all.

The soup was so light that even the only meat dish was made. She took a bite and it tasted like she was biting on wax. Her eyes involuntarily glanced towards Huo Yelin's plate.

Grilled steak, sweet and sour fish, grilled shrimp, fried eggplant …

When Dou Dou came to deliver the lunch, she intentionally sent him a bottle of red wine. Lafite, 2000. Zhao Yilin wrinkled her nose, drooling just by smelling the fragrance of the wine.

When she saw Huo Yelin eating lunch while reading a newspaper, she could not help but secretly reach for the wine glass on the table.

Just as her fingers touched the goblet, before she could pick it up, Huo Yelin said, "One thousand yuan per mouthful."

"Ah, too expensive."

Zhao Yilin refused to take her hands off the blanket and tried to curry favor with him, "500 is fine, let me have a bite or two."

Huo Yelin raised his head and stared at her. "Remove your hand."

Zhao Yilin's smile froze on her face, and she snorted, "So what if I don't drink? I don't drink. What's so amazing about that." She dropped her chopsticks on the plate and stopped eating.

Huo Yelin saw that she was really angry, so he took his own plate and walked in front of her and gave her some meat dishes, like he was feeding a wild cat by the roadside, "Your standards are not up to standard, so you can't eat greasy food or drink alcohol. If you want to eat, then you better get better earlier."

Zhao Yelin glanced at Huo Yelin, then picked up her chopsticks and continued eating.

Zhao Yilin stayed in the hospital for a whole month. On the day she was discharged, she was overjoyed. "I can finally go home. No matter how comfortable the hospital is, it's not as good as my home." She quickly folded up her pajamas and stuffed them into her backpack. Fang Xinying couldn't help but tease, "Oh? I thought you wanted to stay here and enjoy your time with him. "

Zhao Yilin smiled, a little embarrassed, but she didn't say anything.

Fang Xinying looked at her blissful expression and sighed helplessly, "You've really fallen in love with her."

Zhao Yilin stopped what she was doing and looked at the back of Fang Xinying, feeling sad.

"I know what you're worried about. Yingying, thank you, it's because of you that I was so bold and unrestrained to love you. "

Fang Xinying turned to look at her and smiled, "Why are you suddenly acting so pretentiously? Gum, hurry up and pack up."

Friendship was the most indestructible thing in this world. Zhao Yilin had always believed in it.

At that time, she had not met Qi Xiaoyan. Not only was she ostracized by her aunt, she was also bullied by her stepmother and sister.

Fang Xinying once said, "Because we are not strong and lucky people, we will meet and support each other."

Zhao Yilin felt that these were the most philosophical words she had ever said. Not only did they apply to friendship, but also kinship and love.

Huo Yelin returned from the procedures and took her to thank the attending physician. It was he who had rescued her on the operating table.

Since she was going to participate in the audition, Fang Xinying drove her car away.

Zhao Yilin got into the car and leaned on the seat to take a nap

Huo Yelin fastened his seatbelt and looked at her, saying, "What's wrong? Are you not feeling well? "

"No, I was too excited last night to sleep well."

Huo Yelin took off his jacket and put it on her, "Try not to fall asleep. Be careful not to catch a cold."

"Alright."

The two of them didn't say anything after Zhao Yilin answered. There was a faint fragrance coming from the car, Huo Yelin's silhouette was very calm and handsome. As she watched, Zhao Yelin was satisfied and fell asleep.

After an unknown period of time, he heard the door open in a daze.

Zhao Yelin was fast asleep, but she did not open her eyes. She only felt her body lighten, as if Huo Yelin was holding her up.

The cold north wind lifted her hair, but she did not feel cold at all. In any case, she felt refreshed.

Huo Yelin's footsteps echoed in the empty corridor of the building. In her original apartment building, there was always a musty smell. But today, she did not smell anything at all. She even heard a light and elegant piano piece.

Zhao Yilin opened her eyes in curiosity, "Huh? "Where is this place?"

Huo Yelin was carrying her as they walked down a luxurious and spacious corridor. Two rows of small orange lights were embedded into the silver-gray marble floor. They neatly arranged the silver elevator that led to the end of the corridor.

"Your new home."
