She didn't feel panicked or peculiar at all as if she did nothing but turned on his phone.
Li Han frowned imperceptibly and took a look at it. When he found the 20 missed calls from Shu Tian, his expression changed slightly, but he did not call back immediately. Instead, he looked at Jiang Chujing. "What are you here for me?"
Jiang Chujing bit her lips and walked up to him. "Han, I want to discuss something with you."
"Okay."
"As you can see from the check, I am well now. My wound didn't heal because of the platelet. But I am all right now. I want to..." And she paused and looked up at Li Han. "I want to go back."
"No." Li Han refused her almost without thinking.
"Han, I..."
Before she could finish speaking, Li Han interrupted, "Chu Jing, your condition is not stable yet."
"But I have been here for five years. When I was young, I stayed in the sanatorium without any friends or family members. I couldn't talk about myself with anyone. I lived for nothing but taking medicine, injection, and treatment!" Jiang Chujing looked at him quietly and said, "If my parents were still alive, they wouldn't want to see this..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Han's face changed. After hesitating for a long time, he put his hand on her shoulder to comfort her. "Chu Jing, I can't let you take a risk."
"But George said I can go back now." Jiang Chujing saw his expression and knew that she failed again. She decided not to force him and grabbed his clothes tightly. "And I want to be with you. I'm so afraid that you'll leave me forever. I can depend on nobody but you..."
Li Han pursed his lips and did not say anything. After all, he held her in his arms. His fingers slid across her dry hair. Once, she had beautiful long hair.
He closed his eyes slightly. "I won't leave you. I promised your parents to take care of you for the rest of your life."
Jiang Chujing was annoyed by his words. He mentioned her parents every time, but she didn't want Li Han to stay with her because of her parents!
"Han, am I a burden to you? If I am a burden, I might as well die..."
"Chu Jing!" Li Han scolded softly. "What are you talking about? You know I don't mean it. Don't say that!"
How could he feel no qualms to her dead parents for her words?
"You wouldn't have cared about me without my parents. Han, what am I to you?"
Li Han lowered his hands and clenched his fists. He looked into her expectant eyes. In the end, he could not tell the romantic lies. "You are my family. I should take the responsibility for you in my whole life."
Jiang Chujing would have jumped up happily without the first clause. But he just had to give the premise every time.
His family.
The family love.
That was never what she wanted.
Jiang Chujing lowered her eyes to hide the hatred in her eyes. She implicated but never confessed her affection for him for the five years. She was afraid that their relationship would end with her words. But she could not stand it anymore. Thinking of the 'Hoyden' on his phone, she felt that what she worried about day and night would finally happen.
After a few seconds of silence, Jiang Chujing looked up again. She appeared to be weak. "Han, I never thought of you as a family member. You are always the most special man for me. Can't you feel my love?"
Jiang Chujing confessed with one sentence and she couldn't change it.
Li Han was surprised.
