“Su Yu, can you please take me to find him?” Huo Mian begged .
“Okay . ”
Su Yu helped Huo Mian get up from the ground and helped her back onto the bed .
“It's late now . Why don't you get some rest, and I will take you tomorrow?”
“Do you know where I want to go?”
“I do . ”
“Will you take me there?”
'I will . ”
Upon hearing Su Yu's answer, Huo Mian let out a slight smile .
“Can you rest for now then?”
“Okay…”
Su Yu help her lie down and adjusted the blanket to ensure that she will be warm throughout the night .
“Are you hungry?” he asked .
Huo Mian shook her head .
“Do you want some water?”
Huo Mian shook her head again .
“Hm… How about some fruits?”
“No . ”
“Okay, close your eyes then . Don't think about anything else, okay?”
“Okay . ”
“What about you?” Huo Mian looked at Su Yu and asked .
“I'm… I'm fine . I will stay here for a bit and leave after you fall asleep . ”
“Okay . ”
Su Yu sat down on the chair beside the bed and quietly guarded Huo Mian . After half an hour, Huo Mian entered dreamland once more .
Su Yu shifted his gaze and stared at her quietly . Under the soft lighting, her delicate features looked even more beautiful and breathtaking .
Su Yu's heart skipped a beat . Unable to control himself, he lifted his hand, wanting to stroke her cheek . However, halfway through, he pulled back his arm…
He couldn't .
“Huo Mian, you must stay well,” Su Yu whispered .
Just like this, he sat in Huo Mian's room for four hours, till dawn .
Su Yu walked out at the crack of dawn .
“Young Master Su… You stayed up the whole night?” the nurse asked, a bit surprised .
“How's her appetite?”
“She didn't have dinner last night, nor anything since . ”
“I will go get some rice and make congee then . ” Su Yu then walked out of the hospital, leaving the stunned nurse behind .
Every medical staff in the Military Hospital knew Su Yu . They knew that not only was he Commander Su's grandson, he was also the president of an entertainment company . He was the perfect man – handsome and extremely wealthy .
If this was ancient China, he would be considered as the Imperial Prince within the Su Empire . But, who knew a man like this, who was known to have a terrible temper, would take care of a woman with such patience? Not only that, he was willing to go out and buy rice himself to cook congee for her . At that moment, the nurse felt extremely envious of Huo Mian, who was still lying inside her room .
She wondered what kind of charisma Huo Mian could possibly have that would take on such control of Su Yu .
– Six in the morning –
By the time Huo Mian woke up, Su Yu had finished boiling congee .
“You're awake? Come eat . ”
“You're still here?” Huo Mian looked up, slightly surprised .
“Oh, I'm getting old, so I don't sleep much anymore . I didn't have anything to do, so I went to the grocery store and bought some rice when the sun came up . I don't know what flavor you prefer, but my cooking skills should be okay . Back when I was in the army, I would cook congee for myself when we were training in the wilderness . Try it, should be edible . ” Su Yu filled a bowl up with congee and passed it to Huo Mian .
“Su Yu…” Huo Mian's voice choked up slightly .
“Yes?”
“You're such a mom . ” Huo Mian looked at Su Yu as she teared up, and then before he could reply, she accepted the bowl of congee from him and began eating without a word .
It wasn't because Huo Mian was cold-hearted . She understood the kindness he had shown her, but she could not reciprocate, and it was slowly becoming a heavy burden in her heart .
“Eat up! Once you're done, I want to take you somewhere . ”
“Where?” Huo Mian looked up from her bowl, slightly surprised .
“Didn't you say you wanted to go and find Qin Chu?”
