Song Yan was stunned by her words. His focus wasn't on how "bad" she claimed to be, but on how much she liked him, that she was willing to go to such lengths just to be with him.
When Su Lanying didn't hear him respond, she assumed he regretted everything and hated or was even disgusted with her. Her chest tightened suddenly, and she gasped for breath.
Seeing her suddenly gasping for breath, Song Yan panicked and quickly said, "Lanying, breathe deeply. Calm down. You can't get agitated."
She tried to clear her mind and followed his instructions to breathe in and breathe out.
Once her condition stabilized, Song Yan finally said, "Lanying, I'm so happy that you like me this much."
She blinked in confusion at his words. Raising her head, she looked at him and asked, "Song Yan, are you sick? Didn't you hear my words just now?"
Hearing her words, Song Yan let out a soft chuckle and said, "If you went so far as to scheme against my mother, that just shows how much you care about me. If you had no feelings at all, you wouldn't have done anything."
The moment she heard this, Su Lanying was stunned. She didn't know how this man's brain worked, but he sure was a very positive-thinking man.
"You don't need to explain. I understand," he added, smiling with genuine warmth.
Looking at his foolish grin, Su Lanying lowered her head and muttered softly, "You are such a fool."
"Mhmm. I'm a fool—your fool," Song Yan nodded in agreement.
The two of them sat on the ground, with Song Yan holding Su Lanying in his arms. Fifteen minutes later, he heard her soft, even breathing and finally let out a sigh of relief.
Despite his slim frame, he was strong enough to carry her to her bedroom. After covering her with a thin blanket and closing the curtains, he returned to the living room to clean up the medicine and pack his bag.
After he was done, he went to the kitchen and tried to light the stove to boil medicine for her. It took him a long time, and when the stove finally lit up, the backyard was filled with smoke.
When Su Lide, Su Jian, and Meng Qiaoping returned from the mountain foothills, they were shocked to see their house filled with smoke.
Worried that something had happened to Su Lanying, the three of them ran toward the backyard. Noticing that the smoke was coming from the kitchen, Su Jian rushed over while shouting, "Lanying, are you alright?!"
Startled by his loud voice, Song Yan dropped the ladle in his hand. Turning around, he met Su Jian's worried gaze.
Realizing it wasn't his sister, Su Jian asked in surprise, "Doctor Song, what are you doing in my house?"
Not long after, Su Lide and his wife also entered the kitchen. Seeing Song Yan's cheeks stained with ash and dirt, they were taken aback.
Then she took another ladle from the cabinet and said, "Doctor Song, thank you for your help. You can go outside, I will take care of the medicine and porridge." freёwebnovel.com
