125 Hold on a Little Longer, Everything Will Pa.s.s

Today, Lu Jingzhi had a compet.i.tion to partic.i.p.ate in, so Lu Ning asked them to accompany him there. Her injuries were gradually healing, and she would be discharged soon; there were no issues, and it would be the same if she stayed by herself.

The compet.i.tion was in the neighboring city, and they would only return at about eleven o’clock. Lu Ning had woken up early today and wanted to go to bed early, but just as she turned off the lights, someone pushed the door open and entered.

Lu Ning was taken aback. “Huo Jinyan?”

Huo Jinyan shut the door and strode towards her.

Lu Ning could only shrink away from him. “What’s with you?”

Huo Jinyan did not speak, and his powerful presence engulfed Lu Ning.

Lu Ning raised her hand to stop him from continuing forward, but he grabbed her wrist.

“What are you doing?”

Huo Jinyan’s voice was a little gravelly. “There’s something I need to ask.”

Lu Ning: “If you want to ask, just ask nicely. Why are you so… ah…”

Her leg kicked something and she was about to fall backwards.

Huo Jinyan quickly caught her and spun around. He fell onto the hospital bed, and Lu Ning fell on top of him.

Her hair brushed against the side of his face, tickling him.

Lu Ning wanted to get up, but he raised his hand and held the back of her head.

“Lu Ning.”

Lu Ning’s anger waned, and she looked at him in the dark. “Fine, ask away.”

“Why did you save me?”

His eyes glowed bright under the moonlight, streaming in from the window.

He was impatient and anxious to learn why, enough to drive himself crazy. This was very important to him.

Lu Ning: “… That’s it?”

Huo Jinyan stared at her with a forceful gaze. “Why?”

Lu Ning sighed. “If you want to ask, just ask properly. You’re acting like a man possessed.”

She took a deep breath and looked at him. “I was full of myself that day; I thought I could push you away and neither of us would be hurt, but I didn’t consider that the bullet would still hit me.”

Huo Jinyan suddenly sat up and held her shoulders, staring at her. “That’s it?”

Lu Ning nodded. “That’s it.”

“Didn’t you ever think about what if you got shot?”

“I wasn’t thinking that much then.”

Huo Jinyan: “…”

The question that had troubled him for so long turned out to have such an answer.

Lu Ning saw something in his expression crack.

“Can you let me go?”

Huo Jinyan looked at her and finally let go of her.

He looked a little dejected, completely different from the aggressive Huo Jinyan from before.

Lu Ning stood there and looked at him. She called out softly, “Huo Jinyan?”

Huo Jinyan did not respond.

Lu Ning leaned closer and prodded him again. Huo Jinyan suddenly grabbed her hand and looked up, staring at her with his scarlet eyes.

Lu Ning was shocked.

Huo Jinyan looked at her and slowly let go of her hand. Then, he stood up and walked towards the door.

He opened the door and paused for a moment before muttering, “I’m sorry.”

Lu Ning scrunched her brows as she watched him leave.

It reminded her of that female cla.s.smate who had wanted to commit suicide a few years ago.

Lu Ning was thrown off by her own thoughts.

I don’t… that can’t be… It’s Huo Jinyan, how could he commit suicide?

However, Huo Jinyan is also human. There might be times when he felt weak and helpless…

Lu Ning finally could not hold it in and walked out.

“Huo Jinyan.”

Huo Jinyan stopped. When he turned around, the girl ran into his arms and hugged him, then patted his back gently.

“It’s fine. Everything will pa.s.s, hold on a little longer. And you have to look forward; if you feel that there’s nothing to keep you going, look at the people around you. Find someone who can support you and live a good life with her.”
