Ling Yun nodded, and the two finished their meal in silence. Now that they are friends, Pan Meijia is no longer as embarrassed as she was when she was alone with him yesterday. So, she wolfed down her food as usual. After drinking the last drop of soup, she sighed and patted her bulging belly.
Looking at her, a flash of memory suddenly appeared in Ling Yun’s mind. Only then did he realize that their first meeting was not the day she took him to the hospital but during someone’s wedding banquet.
’So, she’s that girl,’ he thought.
After finishing the meal, Ling Yun went to the counter and bought two bowls of soup dumplings to take away and paid for them. While he was hospitalized, Xiao Li also helped him get some money and food stamps from home. Now, he uses four food stamps and less than 4 yuan to pay for their meals.
When he left the restaurant, Pan Meijia was already waiting for him with the bicycle. Seeing the bicycle, Ling Yun asked, "Did you borrow the bicycle again?"
"How did you know I borrowed it?" she asked in surprise.
"That day, I heard your voice." Ling Yun said while sitting in the back seat.
"I thought you were unconscious that day. How could you still hear what I said?" Pan Meijia muttered softly.
Ling Yun smiled after hearing her words, but pretended not to hear anything. He held onto the seat as she pedaled the bike. With him sitting in the back seat, Pan Meijia stepped on the pedal and let out a low "hum" as she exerted her strength.
Ling Yun looked at her fair neck and saw sweat rolling down her collar. He felt his mouth was dry and looked away. Suddenly, he felt hot all over his body for no reason. After a while, with the help of the cold wind, he finally felt better. However, he did not dare to look at her neck again.
An hour later, they finally arrived at the village where Ling Yun lived. As soon as she entered the village, Pan Meijia felt countless eyes falling on her instantly. She looked at those who were looking at her, smiled and nodded to them as a greeting. But what she got was not the usual friendly greetings, but stares or snorts instead.
The villagers’ reaction confused her. Do they really dislike outsiders that much? She just came to send her friend back. Is it necessary to be so cold to her?
Pan Meijia felt wronged, but she didn’t say anything. After all, she doesn’t live here. So there is no need to care too much about them. After pedaling for another twenty minutes, they finally arrived at Ling Yun’s home. freewebnσvel.cøm
After getting off the bike, Ling Yun said, "Come in first and have a cup of tea before going back."
"Maybe next time. Comrade Han is waiting for me. I need to return the bicycle before noon." Pan Meijia rejected his proposal.
Ling Yun felt uncomfortable when he heard that she had another plan with a man, but he did not persist. Before leaving, Pan Meijia said, "Ah, by the way, I have already asked the doctor. At present, you need to avoid heavy-flavored and greasy food. Do not wet the wound before it scabs. Do not lift heavy objects for at least three weeks.
