Chapter 929: Chapter 929: Afraid She and He Grow Further Apart After getting the medication, Xia Nuo took a taxi home with him. She didn’t go to cheer for her class that day, but they still won. The next day, Leng Yan’s cold hadn’t improved, so she continued to accompany him for his IV drip. Today is the championship game, and Xia Nuo sat in the hospital feeling restless, as if her heart was being scratched by a cat. Checking the time when the game ended, she sent a text asking her classmate about the outcome. The classmate replied that they lost and got second place. It was a bit disappointing, but second place also comes with a reward, and the performance was quite good. Leng Yan asked her about the result, and she told him. He smiled and said, “This is expected. The sports committee member from Class Three is tall, and he was the basketball team’s captain in middle school. It’s no surprise their class got first place.” Class Three was indeed the one that took first place. Xia Nuo said, a bit unconvinced, “The people in our class who play basketball are quite good. You can’t just assume Class Three is better.” “I’m not assuming; it’s just the reality. Now that Class Three has taken first place, isn’t that a fact?” Read full story at 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⚫𝙣𝙚𝙩 “Taking first place doesn’t necessarily mean they’re stronger.” “Then what would prove they’re strong?” Leng Yan, unusually, was arguing with her today. Seriously, even if Class Three is good, he shouldn’t say that in front of her. Xia Nuo was a bit annoyed, feeling uncomfortable about him opposing her. “I won’t talk to you!” She turned away from him and started working on problems. Leng Yan knew she was angry and tried to appease her: “I’m not saying your class is weak, just stating my feeling. Xia Nuo, since you’ve been accompanying me and skipped evening study sessions for two nights, will your teacher blame you?” He made a peace offering, so she had no reason to stay mad. “No, I took leave, so the teacher won’t blame me. Besides, evening study is just a self-study, and I can study anywhere.” “Alright.” Leng Yan responded softly and stopped bothering her, letting her concentrate on her work. After finishing the drip, the two walked out of the hospital, and the cool night breeze brought a slight chill. Autumn has arrived, and Leng Yan’s birthday is approaching. He turned his head to look at Xia Nuo and suddenly lowered his gaze and said, “Xia Nuo, let’s just get along like we used to. You said one day I might realize my feelings for you aren’t what I thought, and maybe I will truly wake up to this one day.” Xia Nuo was slightly stunned, not expecting him to say such things. “I won’t make things difficult for you in the future. We’ll be just like before, and you can continue to see me as your younger brother.” Leng Yan continued. In fact, intentionally distancing herself from him during this time made her feel bad too. Now hearing him say this, she couldn’t help but feel relieved. “It’s good that you think this way. Come on, let’s go to my place for a late-night snack.” Xia Nuo patted his shoulder and flashed a bright smile. She hadn’t sincerely smiled at him for a long time, and seeing her upturned lips and bright eyes, Leng Yan felt happy, though there was still a trace of sadness. He said those words because he was afraid they were drifting apart. He is indeed still young and acts impulsively. At his current age, it truly isn’t suitable to reveal his feelings to her. Towards Leng Yan, Xia Nuo has always been soft-hearted and forgiving. Hearing Leng Yan’s words, she automatically assumed his feelings for her had lessened considerably. No longer fearing that he would continue to like her from a male perspective, her interactions with him regained a bit of spontaneity, and their relationship seemed to have returned to its former state.
