Chapter 117 - Two Faces
So it turned out that some people really did have two faces. Only when they faced people they were familiar with would they reveal their true faces.
"Slow down, how are you?"
Looking at my face that didn't seem to have slowed down, I hesitated for a moment before deciding that I needed to ask.
Even though we had just quarreled in the morning, when Zhang Mancha came over this time, I suddenly felt that maybe I didn't really understand him that much, or maybe he had some feelings for me, but I just didn't really understand him that well.
Or it could be said that this man was too coquettish and wouldn't easily express his thoughts, so I didn't know what kind of feelings he had for me.
"I'm fine. Eat your meal first." It was nice to say it slowly, but when I looked at his calves, it didn't seem like what he said. He really didn't seem to be doing very well.
This man was truly stubborn.
"I want just a little. I'm not very hungry right now."
Actually, I was really hungry, but after not eating for so long, eating too much at once was not good for my stomach. However, I was afraid that if you knew that I was hungry and wanted me to eat more, I couldn't refuse your kind offer, so this was all I could do.
"I'll feed you, but don't move first. I'll help you up." Slowly approaching me, he fished me out of bed. Smelling the soothing scent on his body, I suddenly felt that there was nothing more to him.
The old people all said that the couple had a quarrel at the head of the bed. After breakfast this time, I must have a good talk with Kusanagi and tell him what I think.
Although it was only a small amount of rice, which was brought out of the pot not long ago, the food was still warm.
I carefully ate it, and when I thought about how Zhang Mancha said that this was something her wife ate, I carefully took a peek at it …
The more I looked, the happier I became. Gradually, my subordinates' movements slowed down as well, but the frequency at which they slowed down increased significantly.
"Lin Xiang, have a good meal. I'll let you see for yourself once we finish eating."
I almost spit out all of the food in my mouth. Is this the gentleness that I know? To be able to say such words, it must be fake, I must have been hallucinating.
"Lin Xiang? What are you shaking your head for? "
"I heard my husband say that he wanted me to see enough. I must be hallucinating." I subconsciously opened my mouth and after I said those words, I suddenly felt that something wasn't right. There was only me and her gentle words in the room, so those words were a gentle question. What did I answer?
I felt like I was going to cry because of my stupidity. How could I be so stupid? How could I be so stupid?
My mood can be said to be extremely complicated.
"Lin Xiang, am I that unreliable in your heart? You'd rather feel like you're hallucinating than admit that I said those words? "
I looked at him slowly and seriously. After hesitating for a moment, I nodded honestly.
"Normally when you're with me, you're always very, very fierce, especially when Zhang Mancha is back. You're even more ferocious to me now, and you almost never talk to me properly.
I don't know where I got the courage to tell everyone about my usual grievances in front of someone who was so gentle.
At that moment, I was probably furious for a moment.
All of my courage burst out at that instant. I said everything that I had always wanted to say but didn't dare to say.
I saw astonishment in her gentle eyes. I saw incredulity, and I also saw helplessness.
"Lin Xiang, why didn't you tell me earlier? Mancha is like a family to me. The first time I got angry at you, I was afraid that Mancha would go missing again like she did before. "
Listening to my gentle explanation, I wanted to say, Aren't you afraid that I'll disappear?
But when the words were about to reach his mouth, he couldn't say it in any way. Zhang Mancha and I can't even be compared.
After all, she had been with him for so many years, and then she had disappeared, but she had always maintained her innocence. How could she be like me?
I actually hate this kind of me.
If possible, I also want to be like Zhang Mancha and be a pure girl.
"Lin Xiang, for the first time, I clearly saw how I feel for you. In the period of time that Mancha has returned, I don't have the kind of feeling toward Mancha that I think I have. When I'm together with her, I think about you more.
I don't understand, I want to say. What do you think that feeling is? And why did you begin to come into contact with Zhang Mancha?
How do I know if this is another of your flowery words, a new trick you've learned?
But I can't.
"Slow down to the point where you say you love me. Say it, you've never said that you love me."
I stared fixedly at his eyes, wanting to personally hear those words. Only then could I be sure that I hadn't misheard him, that he truly loved me with that gentleness, and that I wasn't deceiving myself.
I don't know how to describe my complicated feelings, and I don't know if most women are like me, eager to get a man to say something sweet to you after just expressing his feelings for you.
They thought that sweet words could give them a sense of security. Actually, sometimes sweet words really didn't mean much to them, and they weren't as touching as actual actions.
The phrase 'a woman is pretentious' is something that I have always felt is quite true and described quite correctly.
Women are hypocritical, like me.
"Lin Xiang, I, I love you." She gently kissed my forehead, and I felt that perhaps I had not woken up from my sleep, but she had actually spoken.
However, looking at how I am, I should be forced to say it.
I smiled and curled up in my gentle embrace. The pain in my waist didn't seem to hurt as much anymore.
After a week in the hospital, I was finally discharged.
On this day, many people came to see me in the hospital and welcomed me to a successful recovery.
Zhang Mancha, Zhang Yuyan, and Thoughtful, as well as Qin Qin Qin and Sun Yufei, had all actually came as well.
Looking at Sun Yufei who had a face full of deep sisterly affection, I subconsciously guarded against him a little.
Her words really hurt me.
"Lin Xiang, you actually didn't tell me that you were sick. I didn't know that, but for the past two days, you didn't come to the filming crew. Without batting an eyelid, I withdrew my hand from Sun Yufei's grasp.
There's really no need for us to act as sisters. If there weren't more people right now, I would definitely have kicked Sun Yufei out. However, that way, the contrast between Zhang Mancha and I would be even more obvious.
"I'm fine, don't worry." Even if I wanted to be calm, I couldn't help but feel disgusted and my voice turned cold.
Sun Yufei had her back facing the crowd, I saw provocation in her eyes.
To this, I smiled without a care.
To be honest, when a person is not very important to you, all of her disgust and provocation is like a boring doll to you.
"Lin Xiang, what's wrong? Why do I feel that you seem to be dissatisfied with me? Aren't we good friends? "
Sun Yufei retreated a few steps with disbelief, as if she had suffered some kind of injury, to which I coldly sneered in my heart.
"Lin Xiang, you're such a malicious woman, you don't even have any face for your friends, you truly don't have many friends." She looked at me with disdain.
Zhang Mancha pulled at the thin air around him.
"Don't speak nonsense, that's sister-in-law. Is there anyone who can speak like that?"
I could vaguely see that Zhang Mancha had pinched the flesh on his arm, it felt pain, but the pain seemed to be normal.
"I got it, good Mancha, she's my sister-in-law, sister-in-law, okay?"
Even I could feel her perfunctory thoughts, let alone Zhang Mancha, as she pulled him out of the sickroom while smiling apologetically at me.
