But at least this time, he wouldn't let go of her!

Just like this, Lin Naofan was in a state of panic as he waited at the entrance of the hospital for Mu Zixi to come out.

Half an hour later, Mu Zixi finally walked out of the Brilliant Hospital's electronic door.

Looking at her from afar, his face was full of sorrow and heartbreak. His eyes were empty as he walked out. At that moment, his heart was broken into pieces.

It had only been three days since they last met, but Lin Naofan felt that Mu Zixi had lost another layer of weight. This made her look like a kite that could be blown away at any time.

Although there was still some distance between them, Lin Naofan could clearly see that there were still undried tears hanging from the corners of Mu Zixi's eyes. Her eyes were also red, and her pale face was especially prominent. Lin Naofan couldn't help but clench his fists.

What's wrong? He was scolded by Mu Lingfeng again? Or was it because of the money? He really wanted to know why she was crying so much. He also wanted to rush up to hug her and tell her that he was willing to let her depend on him. He would bear the burden for her!

Lin Naofan looked deeply at Mu Zixi, but Mu Zixi still didn't see her. Her hands were in the pockets of her coat as she silently walked forward. At this moment, her desolate expression didn't have the slightest trace of pretence.

She was very, very tired, but everything should have been settled. She had also fulfilled her long-cherished wish, so why was she still feeling so sad?

Lin Naofan stared at Mu Zixi's footsteps and couldn't help but take two steps forward. However, it was as if his feet weighed a thousand pounds, so he couldn't take another step.

He originally wanted to say a million things, but now that he saw Mu Zixi, he couldn't say a single word! In fact, he could feel that with every step Mu Zixi took, the courage he mustered in his heart became lesser and lesser.

Dammit, why is it so useless now! Lin Naofan grit his teeth as he thought gloomily. Seeing that Mu Zixi was getting closer step by step, he didn't even know where he should place his hands. He didn't have any choice but to put his hands into his pockets.

The moment he placed it inside, he felt something made of metal. He held it tightly — it was a phone! Lin Naoi's eyes lit up again. She took out the phone from her pocket and dialed the number that she recited aloud.

Lin Nuofan's eyes once again returned to Mu Zixi.

Looking at Mu Zixi, who seemed to feel that the inside of her jacket pocket was trembling, she frowned and took out her cell phone. Seeing the name "Lin Naofan" on the screen, her lips unconsciously curled up into a pleased smile, as if what she saw wasn't just a name, but a phone call, but a ray of sunlight in the dark.

It was the smile she gave him. So beautiful.

When Lin Naoi saw her smile, her heart was filled with fervent love.

But soon, a hint of sadness crept up her brow, as if she felt she was too dirty to answer the phone.

Lin Naofan looked at Mu Zixi, who was hesitating with the phone in his hand, and felt the phone's notification ring in his ear, piercing his heart. Answer it, why didn't you?

She clearly treated him like sunlight, but why didn't she answer his phone? It made his heart clench.

At this moment, Mu Zixi's mind was in a mess.

Why was Lin Naofan looking for her? What should she say? She missed him and wanted to answer his phone.

However, she was afraid that he would ask her where she had been these past few days. How should she answer that? She did not know that she had even placed her finger on the "hang up" button, but she did not have the strength to press it.

She, should have been more ruthless to herself. Obviously, she was no longer qualified to even hear her voice.

As she thought about it, she hesitated for a few more seconds. She really couldn't make up her mind. If she waited any longer, she would just let the phone ring for a little longer.

At the very least, let her experience it a little longer, there would still be people in this world who would miss her.

Looking at the name on the phone with reluctance, Mu Zixi chose to close her eyes. Only when the phone stopped ringing did she open her eyes, a pair of empty eyes that had lost focus.

It's nothing, Mu Zixi.

She had already decided to become that man's appendage. This meant that she had to completely give up on Lin Naoi, and completely disappear from his life without leaving a trace.

Lin Naoi, who stood not far away from her, stubbornly dialed her number again. Her heart felt as if it had sunk into a very deep well. Even though she knew the water current would slowly submerge him, she did not give up and kept going up.

In the past, he might have thought that it was a long time before he let Mu Zixi feel his sincerity, but now, Lin Naofan knew that many things were happening. This feeling made him want to catch her and stop her from leaving.

The phone rang again, and a hint of confusion flashed in Mu Zixi's eyes.

She was able to be ruthless to him once, but that didn't mean that she really had a heart of stone. Facing the only person she loved, her determination slowly faded away.

Just when Lin Naofan thought that she wouldn't pick up the phone the second time, Mu Zixi finally answered with a trembling voice.

"Hey, Zixi — —" Lin Naofan's voice entered Mu Zixi's ears after being baked in the afternoon sun. It wasn't that hot, but it was enough to bring warmth and strength to Mu Zixi.

"Brother Lin, is something the matter?" She pretended to be calm, but her heart was in turmoil. He was someone he once deeply loved. Now, he didn't even dare to look at or listen to when he was there.

His voice was still gentle, but it made her heart feel as if it was being sliced by a blade.

Hearing her opening remark, Lin Naoi felt a little sad. Could it be that they could only contact each other when they had something to do?

Something was quietly changing. This change was not what Lin Naofan wanted.

"Nothing, I just want to ask if you've collected the medical fees?" Lin Naofan pretended to not know anything as he calmly asked. From a distance, he could see the expression on Mu Zixi's face.

Her face was filled with a lonely yet still trying to show off smile.

He let his heart sink as he thought about what he should say and what he should say to make Mu Zixi open his heart to him. Don't try to be so brave in front of him, be strong enough to make his heart break.

"Mm, I've already settled it. Don't worry, if there's nothing else, I'll be hanging up." After she finished speaking, Mu Zixi was about to hang up. She couldn't listen to his worried tone anymore.

She wasn't worthy of him worrying about her like that.

"Zi Xi! We'll hang up later and listen to what I have to say. " Lin Naoi saw her movements. He couldn't help but raise his voice, making it difficult for him to conceal his excitement.

He had to say it! He couldn't wait any longer. He was afraid that if she hung up the phone, she wouldn't answer again.

He didn't know what Lin Naoi was going to say, but he could faintly feel a peculiar feeling churning through his heart. Mu Zixi paused for a moment, but didn't immediately hang up.

"Zi Xi, I like a girl." Lin Naofan's voice was light and affectionate.

When it entered Mu Zixi's heart, it was as if a huge rock had been thrown into a lake, causing a huge uproar.

He finally had someone he liked?

Heart, a heart that had long been numb, filled with bitterness and pain.

Why was it so painful? He was already prepared for it. Someone as outstanding as him would sooner or later have an outstanding girl appear in his life.

She had never made such an extravagant request that she was the one who was wrong, but why did her heart hurt so much? It was so painful that even her breath seemed to be taken away.

A teardrop finally quietly fell down, making her vision blur, making her unable to see her surroundings even more. At this moment, she didn't know that the person who deeply loved her was standing not far away, looking at her tears with both joy and heartache.

Since she cared about him, she liked him as well. However, when he looked at her tears, he couldn't help but want to walk over to her.

"Big Brother Lin, congratulations." Mu Zixi arranged his voice so that it sounded unremarkable.

If it wasn't for the fact that Lin Naoi was looking at her, he would have been tricked by her. But now that he knew her intentions, he definitely wouldn't let her go.

"I really like that girl …" "I like her strength, I like her appearance of always trying to be strong despite her obvious weakness, I like her every frown and smile, I like her to the point where I don't even know that I can't do without her anymore."

Listening to Lin Naoi's reminiscence, Mu Zixi didn't know why Lin Naoi would tell her all of this. However, she didn't hang up, as tears continued to flow down her face.

He used to like that girl so much...

"But, when I realized it, she wanted to leave me. I knew I couldn't wait any longer, because I really couldn't afford to lose her …" As he spoke to here, Lin Nuofan's heart trembled. He had done it. He finally said it.

Mu Zixi's tears flowed without restraint, and he was completely speechless.

She had thought that she could do it. She had thought that one day he would find someone he liked, someone she could bless, but when it really happened, she discovered that she could not do it. She really could not do it.

Lin Naofan saw Mu Zixi painfully close her eyes and felt her own eyes grow hazy. He gazed at Mu Zixi from afar and spoke in a low voice, "Zixi, I want to tell you that I've fallen in love with you …" His voice trembled. Finally, in the midst of his courage, he took large strides forward. Step by step, he walked into her line of sight, approaching her.

His words were like a monstrous wave that suddenly drowned Mu Zixi into the sea, causing her to suddenly drown in the sweet sea from the pain she was almost suffocating.

Had she heard wrongly? How could his words, in the end, reveal her name? That outstanding Lin Naofan, how could he possibly fall in love with this destitute and destitute her?

"Zixi, don't cry … "From today onwards, I will always be by your side. As long as you open your eyes, I will be in front of you …" Lin Naofan's voice seemed to become more and more sincere, causing Mu Zixi to finally open his eyes.

What made her astonished was that she actually saw him, and he astonishingly appeared not far from her.

In the next second, Mu Zixi couldn't help but cover his mouth!

It had only been three days and the man in front of her was actually in a sorry state. He had completely lost his usual delicate and pretty appearance. It could be seen how worried he had been for her these past few days.

He was the only person in this world who truly cared about her. If she had heard him say this before meeting Cheng Haotian, she would have gone mad with joy. But now, she was unworthy.

"Brother Lin …" "Your feelings for me definitely aren't like me. It's just sympathy. How could I be worthy of you …" Her voice trembled as she looked at Lin Naoi's approaching figure. She felt so ashamed that she almost couldn't show her face.

He was too beautiful, too clear, as if he wanted to shine her grayness out. If he took one more step, she would be reduced to ashes like a moth flying into the fire.
