Ye Lan struggled, but failed to break free. Instead, he held her tighter. He pulled her closer, almost half lying on his chest.
"Let me go."
"Are you angry?" is a question, but also an affirmative sentence.
"I didn't." Ye Lan was stubborn and refused to admit it.
"Tell me the reason." Tang Jifeng didn't take her rebuttal seriously at all. He stared at her with burning eyes, as if he wanted to see through all her emotions, "Lanlan, why are you angry with me?"
His repeated questioning caused ripples in Ye Lan's heart, making her feel confused. But, what was she angry about? He had just risked his life to save her, and she should be grateful to him instead of getting angry with him the first moment he woke up.
However, the sullenness in my heart could not be dispelled. I could only remember the woman who had just left and the kiss...
"Lanlan." Without waiting for her answer, Tang Jifeng called again.
"I... I'm just angry that you're so injured, but you still have the energy to tangle with women." Ye Lan seemed to have found a very correct and convincing reason, and added: "Yes, that's what I'm angry about. Shouldn't I be angry?"
Tang Jifeng's serious gaze lingered on Ye Lan's little face for a long time, and then he smiled, "Yes, you deserve to be angry."
As if he was relieved, he raised his hand and rubbed her head, his tone much gentler, "Don't be angry. You can see that I'm not the one pestering her, she came to find me. But... you still have the energy to be angry with me, it seems that there is no problem at all."
"... I'm still fine." Ye Lan thought of his injury and couldn't really stay angry with him. He took a look at the gauze wrapped on his head and asked worriedly, "What about you? You just told that person that you had a concussion and lost your memory. Is that true?"
Tang Jifeng laughed out loud and pinched her cheek lovingly, "Silly girl, how can you be so naive and easy to fool?"
Ye Lan did not respond. His long fingers fell on her face, as if carrying an electric current, making her feel numb. That numbness swept all the way to her chest, and a strange feeling that even she herself could not understand rose up in her heart.
For a long while, she could only stare at his smile in a daze. When she came to her senses, she stood up almost immediately and said, "If you're okay, I'll go back to my room first."
"What's wrong?" Tang Jifeng noticed that something was wrong with her.
Ye Lan shook his head, "It's okay, it's just that Qiuqiu is still waiting for me in the ward, I'll go over and say hello to her first."
She said, without waiting for Tang Jifeng to say anything, she turned around and walked out of the ward. From behind, she looked quite flustered. Tang Jifeng was suspicious and worried, and wanted to call her, but in the end, he didn't say anything.

"Are you okay?" Qiu Qiu looked around Ye Lan, who was curled up on the bed. He raised his hand and touched her head again, "Are you still dizzy? You were fine when you went out, why do you look like you lost your soul when you came back? What happened?"
Ye Lan said nothing, lost in his own thoughts.
Qiu Qiu pulled a chair and sat down beside her bed. "Baby, did something happen to your brother Ji Feng? Could it be that he..."
She couldn't utter the word 'death'.
Ye Lan suddenly said: "Qiuqiu, you told me before that you were in love, is that true?"
Her question was so confusing that Qiu Qiu was stunned. The next second, he nodded, "Of course it's true. When it comes to love, my experience can probably be written into a book. But..."
Qiu Qiu looked at her and asked, "Why are you asking me this?"
Ye Lan didn't say anything.
Qiu Qiu asked: "Why? Do you want to fall in love?"
“No.” Ye Lan shook his head. “I… I met a woman when I went to see Brother Ji Feng just now. She… she kissed Brother Ji Feng.”
Qiu Qiu understood the general idea and did not jump to conclusions. He just asked in a guiding way: "So, how do you feel?"
"I feel stuffy here, like there's a rock pressing down on me." Ye Lan touched his chest, raised his head, and looked at Qiu Qiu for help. "Qiu Qiu, what's wrong with me? I feel like I've become particularly petty. I wasn't angry when I saw Brother Ji Feng with another woman before."
However, thinking about the scene in the bar now, she felt uncomfortable.
Qiu Qiu pressed her shoulder and said, "Lanlan, you like him!"
It is a particularly affirmative tone.
Ye Lan was shocked and bit his lower lip tightly without saying a word.
"You weren't angry before because you still regarded him as your brother, so you didn't feel anything. You are so angry now because you are jealous. Lanlan, you must like him!" Qiu Qiu analyzed for her.
"But... we've known each other since we were born. If I really liked him, I should have had feelings for him before."
"You were still young before. Now you are 16, the right age for love. Besides, look at your brother Ji Feng, he not only sponsored you, but also risked his life to save you. He is so good to you, right? If I were you, I would fall in love with him too. It would be strange if I didn't!"
like…
Ye Lan chewed on this word, and felt that it was very strange. However, he also felt that it was very wonderful and curious.
Is it really possible for me to fall in love with Tang Jifeng
She was in a mess. Her mind and heart were in a mess.
———
Ye Lan's body was not seriously injured, but he still had to be hospitalized for observation. It was already late, so Qiu Qiu left the hospital first.
Ye Lan lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. In his mind, he kept thinking about what Qiu Qiu had said to him today.
As the night went on, she finally threw off the blanket and went to another ward. She was someone who couldn't keep secrets.
She thought he must have fallen asleep, but when she arrived, the light in the ward was still on. Was he still asleep
He raised his hand and knocked on the door tentatively.
"Come in."
When his voice sounded, Ye Lan pushed the door open and walked in.
Tang Jifeng was still lying on the bed, flipping through documents, and there was a pile of documents on the bedside.
"Why are you still reading the documents? You're injured like this." Ye Lan frowned, "Did Brother Mo Tian send them to you?"
"Well. What if you don't send it? If you just do nothing and lie in the hospital for a few days, the documents will be piled up in the office tomorrow. But you." Tang Jifeng looked up at her, "Why haven't you slept yet? Although there is nothing wrong with your body, it is necessary to have a good rest."
"Brother Ji Feng, why did you save me at that time?" Ye Lan suddenly asked, "Do you know how dangerous it is to fall like that?"
"I want to save you because I know how dangerous it is to fall. If it's not dangerous, I won't bother to care." Tang Jifeng joked, "Little thing, come to think of it, why do I feel like every time I'm with you, I'm in danger of bloodshed?"
