I like you

Yu Meng was shocked by He Mingxuan's confession. She stood on the bed with the cup in her hand, dazed for a long time.

He Mingxuan only pursed his lips into a smile. He took a bite of the half-peeled apple, bit it and ate it before cutting it off …

"You've already eaten!"

He Mingxuan was hurt: "Teacher, do you dislike me?"

Putting up his mouth, he would twitch his shoulders from time to time and sniff his nose with a sorrowful expression on his face, "Teachers despise their students. Sigh, I knew that you would still treat me as an outsider. I am not your closest student …"

Yu Meng was extremely impressed by He Mingxuan. She facepalmed, and could only compromise.

"Alright, alright, alright. I'll eat, I'll eat, okay?"

As the apple fell into his stomach, He Mingxuan smiled.

"This is called an indirect kiss."

"..."

Yu Meng had just swallowed the apple, she never thought that this fellow's pit would be here.

"Is there still time for me to vomit?"

He Mingxuan shook his head, "Teacher Yu, this is my first kiss."

"..."

Yu Meng couldn't help but twitch her mouth. "You're lying to me. How can you not have a girlfriend when you grow up like this!?"

How can other men live?

He Mingxuan nodded solemnly.

"Because it would be better if it didn't."

He Mingxuan suddenly approached him. "Teacher, you should remember to be responsible for me."

Yu Meng's eyes were wide open as she directly pushed He Mingxuan away. "Go, go, go, go.

He Mingxuan felt wronged: "I really do like you, why don't you believe me?"

Yu Meng facepalmed. "Alright, then tell me what you like about me."

Yu Meng, no matter what He Mingxuan said, she had ways to break his imagination.

He Mingxuan simply replied with two words: "Fearless."

Yu Meng was completely shocked. I've forgotten all the words I've been thinking about.

After a long while, she slowly raised her eyes and looked at him. The seriousness in He Mingxuan's eyes caused Yu Meng to fall into a trance once again.

"No one has ever used that word to describe me."

After the Yu's went bankrupt, the word she heard the most was idiocy.

Fearless, how could such a thing be related to her?

But He Mingxuan did say it out loud. She was curious to know why.

But, for He Mingxuan to continue, he might really take the chance to confess even more.

So Yu Meng asked him, "Did you know I'm married?"

He Mingxuan nodded: "Understood."

Yu Meng was surprised. "Then why are you still talking about this?"

"Anyone who knows about Tan Yubai cheating on us should know about it." He Mingxuan opened his mouth: "Although the online records have been erased, the matter of the young entrepreneur Tan Yubai being a scumbag has long been a secret spread by many netizens."

He Mingxuan's calm manner made Yu Meng a little embarrassed.

"Look, my husband doesn't like me. Why would you like me? Where did you get that word? It's not even close to me. If you say it's pathetic, I can still believe it. "

Yu Meng spoke with a helpless tone, but her every word was filled with sincerity.

"It's his loss to you." He Mingxuan was extremely serious, his eyes flashed with light as he suddenly asked: "Teacher Yu, do you know of Sri Lanka?"

Yu Meng frowned.

"What are you trying to say?"

"The butterflies are beautiful."

Yu Meng did not understand, but she still frowned and said, "There's a war going on over there, and weeds are growing everywhere. There's no butterfly to look at."

He Mingxuan didn't look like she was messing around. That guy who always had a playful smile on his face when he was serious in the past actually made her heart tremble.

"Anyway, as long as you remember that I like you and really like you, that's enough."

He Mingxuan stood up: "I'm not being unreasonable, it's time I went back to class."

When her upright figure left the room, the ward was quiet again. Yu Meng was lying on the bed with a deep frown on her forehead.

Sri Lanka...

Butterfly?

Yu Meng felt that these two words were very familiar, but she couldn't find anything related to them even after searching through her memories.

In the end, he thought of another sentence.

Do you still remember the Xia Yuhe by the Great Clarity Lake?

Yu Meng found this funny. She pursed her lips and unknowingly fell asleep again.

It was probably due to the injuries on his body, which caused him to sleep more often.

When he woke up, it was already late. It was already late at night when he switched on his cell phone. There were two heat buckets beside his desk.

Yu Meng sat up and opened the thermos. It was still warm inside; one serving of rice, two dishes, and a soup. The other was mixed rice and fruit.

Two dinners?

Yu Meng found it strange and opened her phone. The first message she received was from He Mingxuan.

"Teacher Yu, when I brought you dinner tonight, I saw you sleeping soundly, so I couldn't bear to disturb you. I placed dinner by your bed. Remember to eat it."

One of them was sent by He Mingxuan.

Then the other one is …

Just as he was thinking, his phone suddenly vibrated. The caller ID showed that it was Tan Yubai.

Yu Meng could not react in time and her phone fell off her bed.

She quickly lifted the quilt to pick it up. When he picked it up, the phone was already hung up.

The screen went completely dark. Yu Meng was standing on the ground with half of her legs crossed, and her ankle was hurting.

Her heart was empty and the cold wind was echoing in it, making her feel cold and painful.

Yu Meng stood there in a daze for a long time. In the darkness, a complex emotion surged. She felt like crying, but she didn't think she should.

After a short while, his phone lit up again and he received a message on WeChat.

Slipping away, it was from Tan Yubai.

"Good night."

His conversation with Tan Yubai, no matter how long they went up, were all sent by him on a whole page: "Good night."

No matter where, no matter how late it was, he would always send Yu Meng a "Good night" before going to bed.

Yu Meng never replied.

It was probably because the emotions of the sick were always weak. She stared at the words on the screen for a long time, and unexpectedly, tears began to flow from her eyes.

When she chased after him, she would send him good night every night. He thought she was being unreasonable, but she had her reasons.

Good night, that's not a simple word. It contains the sights I see during the day, the experiences, the breezes at night, the thoughts. And all the things I want to say to you.

Yu Meng was not sure if Tan Yubai had always remembered these.

After a long while, she typed in a few words with trembling fingers and sent it over.

"Good night."

It was probably the only reply he had received in the past six months.

Very quickly, his phone rang again. It was Tan Yubai.

When the call connected, Yu Meng did not say anything. She just listened to the sound of breathing and the deep male voice on the other end of the phone.

"You're still awake?"

Yu Meng sat on the bed. "No."

"Have you eaten dinner?"

Yu Meng looked at the thermos on the table.

"Did you bring me dinner?"

"I had the driver deliver it. I have a job tonight, so I can't leave."

At first, she was pleasantly surprised, but soon, she felt depressed again.

A male voice came from the other end of the phone. It was very soft, "A person in the hospital..." Tan Yubai paused, "Take good care of yourself!"

Yu Meng could hear the concern in her voice, which caused her to fall into a daze. However, she quickly came to a realization and said, "You drank too much."

"Yes, a little."

Yu Meng frowned and almost blurted out.

"You can't drink."

Tan Yubai's stomach was not good, there were several times when she drank too much and her stomach bled. In the past, she would always stop him when he was around, but now …

She wanted to change her words, but she didn't know what to say to cover it up.

On the other side, the silence was repressed, leaving only the light breathing and constantly trying to figure out the emotions.

Suddenly, Yu Meng heard the female voice on the other end of the phone, vaguely calling Tan Yubai's name.

She felt that his voice was very similar to Du Qinyi's, and her heart immediately sank.

It didn't matter who he was with, she shouldn't have been moved.

She hung up without saying a word. The screen in his hand was still on the "Good night" page.

He wanted to withdraw his good night, but two minutes had passed and it was too late.

She shouldn't have, shouldn't have any hope for this love, too much disappointment, enough to almost break her heart.
