"What's wrong? You two want to hold a wedding ceremony?"
Su Yi didn't say anything, but just said calmly: "Keep it for now, we'll talk about it later."
Mu Nanxi immediately saw something was wrong from her expression, but since Su Yi didn't want to talk about it, he didn't ask. He pretended to laugh it off and took the diamond necklace back. "Well, I'll keep it for you first. When you really wear a wedding dress one day, I'll help you put it on myself."
"Yeah." Su Yi raised the corners of his mouth and smiled reluctantly.

A week later, Allen's problem was finally resolved, and Su Yi also had two dark circles under his eyes.
She fell asleep for more than ten hours on the plane. She was not awakened until the plane landed in the capital. Mu Nanxi said, "Yan Tong just called and said that they are visiting Ben Mo in the hospital. Do you want to go over? Or do you want to go home first?"
go home
Which home are you going back to
Su Yi was silent for a moment, then took off the eye mask. The evening glow was red and very beautiful. She said, "Let's go see Ben Mo first."
"good."
The two got into a taxi. Mu Nanxi seemed to be very worried about Su Yi. He served her carefully along the way, helped her carry her luggage and bought her drinks. At the end, he even called Yan Tong and Lu Zhan to inform them.
So when Su Yi walked into the hospital, Yan Tong and Lu Zhan both thought that Su Yi had been heartbroken, and quickly told the news to Gu Benmo, who was almost fully recovered. After hearing this, Gu Benmo pondered for a while, then smiled, "Really? She was heartbroken?"
"Yes! It's absolutely true!" said Yan Tong.
"How did you know?"
"When Nan Xi gave Su Yi a wedding gift, she refused to accept it. She said with a very sad expression that she would wait until she really wore a wedding dress. If there was no other reason, why would she not accept it? From what I know about Su Yi, she is not such a coy person. If she was really happy, she would have happily accepted it and had a big meal."
Gu Benmo thought about it and agreed.
After a brief thought, Gu Benmo said to Yan Tong and Lu Zhan, "Then you should be nice to her recently. The most important thing is not to touch the red zone in her heart. After a while, she may get better after a long time."
He had originally become disheartened, but unexpectedly, there was a ray of hope on the horizon, and the hope in his heart was rekindled.
When Su Yi entered the ward, Gu Benmo and the others looked at each other and smiled particularly warmly and brightly.
Su Yi felt strange and frowned, "What's wrong? Are you no longer single? Why are you smiling so happily?"
Yan Tong said, "My friend, you just returned home. Are you hungry? Do you want me to go out and buy you something to eat?"
Su Yi squinted her eyes, "You are usually the laziest, why did you change your temper today and treat me so well? Tell me the truth, do you have any bad intentions towards me? Do you want to borrow money?"
"What the hell!" Yan Tong said righteously, "Do I look like that kind of person?"
"Yes." Su Yi nodded without hesitation.
Everyone laughed.
Gu Benmo thought Su Yi was quite normal, not as dire as Mu Nanxi said. But it was hard to say. Maybe she was just pretending to be strong in front of others, and when there was no one around, she would cry alone.
Yan Tong was insulted by Su Yi, but she didn't care. She just insisted on asking her: "My friend, do you want to eat anything?"
Su Yi thought for a moment and said, "Then go buy me a bowl of porridge."
"What kind of porridge?"
"Porridge?"
Hearing this, Yan Tong immediately became nervous, "You just want to drink porridge? Don't you want to eat something else?"
"I just arrived in China, my stomach is a little uncomfortable, and I can't eat anything else."
"Is that so? Well then, wait for me, I'll go downstairs and buy you some porridge now."
Soon, the porridge was delivered, and several men in the ward kept glancing at her from time to time, as if they were paying attention to her mood changes.
Su Yi felt a little uncomfortable being stared at. He sighed slightly and buried his head in drinking his porridge.
After drinking the porridge, she fell asleep again.
A few people started talking in low voices again.
Lu Zhan said: "I think Lao Tie is quite normal. He can eat and sleep well. He doesn't look that sad."
Mu Nanxi glanced at him and said, "Hush! Don't jump to conclusions too soon. Just wait and see."
"What are you looking at?"
Mu Nanxi pointed at Su Yi who was sleeping and said, "You will know in a while."
Several people stopped talking immediately.
Gu Benmo stared at Su Yi who was sleeping, wanting to know what Mu Nanxi meant by "you'll know soon".
About twenty minutes later, Su Yi took a long breath.
Everyone was waiting with frowns on their faces. This is what Mu Nanxi said. You will know soon
Just when Yan Tong was getting impatient, Su Yi finally moved his head and murmured, "Xiao Dai..."
Everyone knew that this nickname belonged exclusively to Lan Fuchu. They looked at each other, but no one spoke and continued to observe Su Yi silently.
Five minutes later, Su Yi said: "Xiao Dai..."
Another five minutes later, Su Yi said: "Xiao Dai..."
He just kept murmuring this name in his sleep the whole time, with no other content, and he never stopped.
Mu Nanxi said solemnly, "That night when Lao Tie was sleeping in the research institute and was calling the monitor's name, I couldn't sleep, so I counted it. In one night, he called 382 times in total."
Several people:"… "
Lu Zhan said, "How bored are you? You even counted how many times Su Yi yelled."
"Hey, I can't sleep. My friend is much better than me. I can only stay up for two all-nighters, but my friend stayed up for four all-nighters. Finally, on the fifth night, he couldn't hold on any longer and went to sleep. Then he called Xiao Daibi all night. What do you think, is he awesome? Isn't he cool?"
No one spoke.
Especially Gu Benmo, his thin lips were pursed, warm and melancholy.
He always knew that Su Yi had a crush on Lan Fuchu, but he didn't expect that she liked him to this extent.
Maybe when she was awake, she disguised her true emotions, and only after falling asleep did she mutter his name in her dreams. Maybe she who seemed normal after the breakup was actually abnormal.

It was already half past ten in the evening when Su Yi woke up again. Her friends had gone home, leaving Gu Benmo alone sitting on the bed, looking at her with complex emotions in his eyes.
"What time is it?" Su Yi sat up from the bed and went to find her phone. She turned it on and saw that it was already past ten o'clock. She sighed and said, "Oh, I accidentally overslept."
Gu Benmo said gently: "You have been staying up all night for several days in a row. It's time to have a good rest."
"That's okay. You can go home and catch up on your sleep. I said I'd come to see you, but I ended up falling asleep. I'm so sorry."
"There's no need to say sorry between us."
"Yeah." Su Yi smiled lightly, stood up and put on his shoes.
Gu Benmo watched her movements and asked, "It's so late, are you going back? Don't you want to stay here for another night?"
"No, I just woke up and I'm very energetic now. I'll probably go to bed very late tonight. Have a good rest. I won't disturb you." After pulling her luggage, Su Yi said to Gu Benmo, "I'm going to stay at Bihuating tonight. My grandpa and mom live there now. If you have time, you can go see them. Grandpa likes you very much."
"Well, when I'm discharged from the hospital, I'll go play chess with grandpa." Seeing that she was about to leave, Gu Benmo stared at her greedily with a deep reluctance in his eyes.
Su Yi understood the emotions in his eyes. She was not a stupid person. It was just that every time she wanted to say something, Gu Benmo always seemed to see through her thoughts and clarified them before she opened her mouth.
"Don't get me wrong, I look at you like this just because I'm worried about you." This time it was Gu Benmo who spoke first.
Su Yi sighed inwardly, "Ben Mo."
"Go back soon and come see me when you have time." Gu Benmo didn't want to go deeper into this topic, probably because he already knew the answer.
But Su Yi did not leave this time. He was silent for a while and asked, "Ben Mo."
"What?" Seeing that she was determined to get to the bottom of the matter, Gu Benmo lowered his head to look at his mobile phone, absent-minded.
Su Yi said slowly: "Ben Mo, do you like me?"
Gu Benmo tilted his head when he heard this, his voice was slightly hoarse, and he smiled charmingly, "No."
"No?"
"Yeah." He nodded and said slowly, "You're not my type."
Su Yi didn't say anything.
Gu Benmo smiled and said, "My feelings towards you are just those of a good friend, nothing else. Don't be too sentimental, because even if you like me, I won't accept you. If you fall in love with me, then I can only stop being friends with you, because I am a person who does not want to get married or fall in love."
"But when you were young, you clearly..."
"You said it was when you were young. At that time, you were immature and just wanted to have fun. Now I think it's better to be single, without any constraints and be free."
Su Yi looked at him, not knowing how much truth there was in his words, but after listening to them, she actually felt relieved.
perhaps…
This is all just her illusion. Ben Mo has always been cynical and often gives people an ambiguous illusion.
