The sun was gradually setting.
6:30 PM
Jianghai Hospital.
In a private ward.
A middle-aged woman with a pale complexion lay on the hospital bed.
She was hooked up to various nutrient IVs, and only the faint rise and fall of her chest indicated that she was still alive.
Wang Yulan held her mother Wang Lan's hand, her eyes filled with tenderness: "Mom, your student hasn't forgotten you. It's a boy named Gu Yan."
"If you wake up, I'm sure you'll recognize him at a glance. He said he was the most mischievous troublemaker in your class."
"Someone mysterious paid for your medical expenses, and I want to repay them, but I'm worried that the person who paid is Gu Yan."
"If that's the case, I... I don't know how to repay him."
Talking to her mother every day had become a part of Wang Yulan's routine.
When mentioning Gu Yan, a hint of sadness flashed in her eyes. Gu Yan was already married.
The feelings she had for him could only be buried deep in her heart. But...
He had helped her so much. How could she ever repay him?
At that moment.
Click.
The door opened.
"Sister Yulan, you're really here."
Gu Yan walked in with a smile on his face.
"Gu Yan?"
Wang Yulan instinctively stood up, her eyes revealing a hint of surprise.
She had thought that Gu Yan would be angry after what happened in the morning and wouldn't come again.
"Sister Yulan, I have good news for you."
Gu Yan approached Wang Yulan and handed her a diagnostic report from the hospital, saying: "According to the latest check-up, Teacher Wang Lan's condition is improving."
"With President Pu personally treating her, I believe we'll see Teacher Wang Lan wake up one day!"
Wang Yulan's eyes sparkled with excitement as she looked at the report in her hands. The situation was much better than the previous check-up.
This indicated that her mother really had a chance to wake up.
All the years of effort and perseverance had finally paid off. She couldn't help but cover her mouth, tears welling up in her eyes: "That's... that's wonderful..."
Watching Wang Yulan so excited, Gu Yan's smile remained, but his eyes were calm and indifferent.
The time was just about right.
The hospital did provide meals, but buying directly from the hospital meant he wouldn't run into someone he needed to meet.
The plan wouldn't be able to proceed.
Thinking of this, he said to Wang Yulan: "Sister Yulan, have you eaten dinner yet? Today, let's celebrate your discharge and Teacher Wang Lan's improving condition."
"How about we go out to eat? Oh, no..."
Gu Yan shook his head at this thought: "No, no. With Teacher Wang Lan's condition improving, there might be signs of her waking up soon."
"Someone definitely needs to be here to watch over her."
"How about this?"
Gu Yan looked at Wang Yulan: "Let's buy some food to go and bring it back, what do you say?"
Hearing this, Wang Yulan also thought it made sense, so she nodded: "Alright, Gu Yan."
She felt very touched. After all, Gu Yan was just her mother's student, yet he was so considerate of them.
Moreover, for some reason, today's Gu Yan seemed even more handsome than usual.
And there was a scent about him that was very attractive to her. She couldn't figure out what it was.
Arriving at the hospital entrance.
Wang Yulan once again witnessed just how wealthy Gu Yan was.
Sitting in the backseat, she nervously placed her hands on her lap and greeted the driver: "Hello..."
Old Gao, driving, smiled back: "Hello, Miss Wang. Young Master has told me about you."
"Thank you for your mother's guidance to the young master."
Wang Yulan blushed and quickly waved her hands: "No, no, I should be the one thanking Gu Yan for all his help."
She was amazed that someone of Gu Yan's status would go out of his way to help them.
Old Gao nodded kindly and didn't say anything more.
The luxury car drove down the road, passing by a figure carrying a large bundle of items on the sidewalk.
Gu Yan, sitting in the car, glanced at the fleeting figure outside the window and couldn't help but smile faintly.
It's finally time.
Xiao Lin walked along the sidewalk, carrying a large bundle of gifts.
He suddenly looked at the luxury car that passed by and felt a strange sensation.
"Strange... why do I sense a few familiar aura fluctuations?"
But soon, he shook his head: "Don't overthink it, Xiao Lin. The priority now is to visit Sister Yulan."
He took a deep breath, gathering his courage to face her. He needed to apologize to her.
At this moment.
In the private ward, unexpected guests had arrived.
Tao Ying and several other members of the Peach Blossom Society, all masked, entered the room.
Looking at Wang Lan, lying on the bed like a vegetable, Tao Ying sneered: "Tsk, it's all because of your stupid daughter refusing to join our Peach Blossom Society that we had to resort to this."
"If your daughter had just listened and cooperated, we wouldn't have to take such drastic measures."
After saying that, she looked at the others and ordered: "Wait for my signal."
"Yes!"
In an instant, everyone scattered.
Tao Ying stared at Wang Lan, recalling the sight of Wang Yulan and Gu Yan leaving earlier.
Hehe, Wang Yulan, Gu Yan, you'll soon learn what happens when you anger the Peach Blossom Society!
...
...
In the inpatient department.
"Excuse me, I'm looking for a patient named Wang Yulan."
Xiao Lin approached the reception desk, his eyes revealing a hint of surprise. The nurse was very beautiful.
His master was right; city women really were beautiful.
The nurse, seeing his gaze, instinctively frowned, but upon hearing the name Wang Yulan, she had to patiently explain: "Miss Wang has been discharged."
"What? Discharged?"
Xiao Lin's mind went blank, and the items he was carrying fell to the ground.
"If you had come a bit earlier, you would have met her."
The nurse continued: "But don't worry, they'll be back soon. Miss Wang's mother is still hospitalized."
"If you want to visit, you can wait a bit."
Hearing this, Xiao Lin felt even more guilty.
It was all because he had wasted too much time on the road. If he had come earlier, he might have met Wang Yulan.
But... Sister Yulan's mother?
Oh right, he remembered that Wang Yulan's mother was indeed hospitalized. If that was the case...
"Um, can I visit Sister Yulan's mother? I'll wait for them there."
Xiao Lin's eyes filled with anticipation.
Hearing this, the nurse frowned and looked suspiciously at Xiao Lin: "What is your relationship with Miss Wang?"
"Uh, I'm, I'm like a younger brother to Sister Yulan. She's taken care of me a lot."
Xiao Lin explained.
"A younger brother?"
The nurse looked Xiao Lin up and down, her suspicion growing. She pointed to the public seating in the inpatient department, saying: "I'm sorry, but Miss Wang hasn't mentioned having a younger brother."
"Sir, you'd better wait there for a while."
Come on, Miss Wang's mother was in a private ward, reserved for special individuals.
How could she let someone like this, who clearly didn't look trustworthy, in?
"Ah?"
Xiao Lin was dumbfounded. He hadn't expected his identity to be doubted.
But it was understandable. He had never visited Sister Yulan before.
In the end, he could only pick up his things and sit on the public seating, waiting for Wang Yulan to return.
Time slowly passed, and Xiao Lin didn't have to wait long.
Half an hour later.
In the inpatient department.
Gu Yan and Wang Yulan, carrying two packed boxes of food, walked in, chatting and laughing.
"Gu Yan, you're so funny. Who told you to be so mischievous back then? No wonder my mom would hit your hand."
Wang Yulan covered her mouth and chuckled, her eyes seemingly only on Gu Yan.
"What can I do, Sister Yulan? I just didn't want to study when I was a kid."
Gu Yan shrugged, smiling helplessly.
As the two entered, Wang Yulan seemed to notice someone and suddenly stopped in her tracks, her expression changing.
She looked at the man sitting on the public bench in disbelief and exclaimed, "Xiao Lin?!"
