Tang Jinyan put away the strange emotions in his heart, but his expression turned cold. "You think too highly of me. You'll be disappointed."
Li Juli smiled but did not say anything.
She could see the awkwardness in his heart, as if … he had a strange fear of being used as a source of light. For this reason, he even wanted to deliberately show that he was a bad person, but he couldn't bring himself to do it.
His mentality was quite interesting … It was like a lonely child huddled in a corner, looking at the outside world with fear in his eyes, holding a knife tightly in his hand, afraid that he would suddenly lose it.
What was he afraid of?
Although she couldn't quite put herself in his shoes, Li Juli was smart enough to realize that this was not the time to provoke him. Otherwise … if he wanted to show that he was a bad person in the middle of the night, she probably wouldn't even have the will to resist.
The two of them fell into silence for a moment, and only the sound of the rain outside the window could be heard.
The rain fell on the roofs, on the windowsills, and on the hearts of those who couldn't sleep, splashing ripples in circles.
After a long time, Tang Jinyan suddenly opened his mouth, but his voice was a little hoarse. "I suggest you go back."
Li Juli was puzzled. "Why?"
Tang Jinyan turned his head, and his eyes were filled with the ruthlessness that Li Juli saw during the day. "You know."
Li Juli shook her head and asked calmly, "What are you afraid of?
You're forcing yourself to have evil thoughts and prove your darkness. "
Tang Jinyan said coldly, "No matter how much you're right, you have to know that I've been suppressing my violent emotions today.
If I can't suppress it, I won't take responsibility. "
Li Juli lowered her eyes slightly. "If that's the reason, I … will let you vent."
Tang Jinyan didn't say anything and suddenly took half a step forward.
The two of them were close to each other, and Li Juli closed her eyes.
"Ugh …" Behind her, a low moan came from the bed.
Tang Jinyan's body stiffened, and he stopped moving.
Li Juli opened her eyes and walked to the bed as if nothing had happened. She asked softly, "Are you awake?"
Park Soyeon's eyes were half-open. She couldn't move her neck, so she was lying on her back. She stared blankly at Li Juli for a while before she slowly regained consciousness. "Juli … it's you …"
"Yes." Li Juli held her hand. "How do you feel?"
"My wound hurts a little, but it's nothing..." Park Soyeon mumbled, "Juli, I had a dream... I dreamt that the Jinyan Oppa and Eun-thi got married. I smiled and gave them my blessings. Then, I hid in a corner and cried. My heart hurt so much, much more than my wound..."
Li Juli's eyes flashed with a strange look, but she didn't say anything.
Tang Jinyan stood by the window in silence, but the ruthlessness in his eyes had disappeared without a trace.
Li Juli asked softly, "You like him?
Don't you think of him as a friend? "
Park Soyeon mumbled, "Everything he has done for me … can capture any woman's heart. Juli … how can I be an exception? I could still hold it in … but when he appeared in the storm like a god and hugged me, I felt that … I was completely done for."
Li Juli turned to look at Tang Jinyan. His face was flickering by the window.
She suddenly said, "He and Jung Eun-thi aren't married yet. What's wrong with fighting for her just because he likes her?"
Park Soyeon said blankly, "No, Juli … he likes Eun-thi so much, and I … I'm covered in scandals now."
Li Juli closed her eyes and said after a long time, "I'll call the doctor."
"Wait …" Park Soyeon said anxiously, "Stay with me for a while. I'll be scared if I'm alone …"
Li Juli was silent.
Tang Jinyan knew what she meant. Taking advantage of the fact that Park Soyeon couldn't move her head, he leaned against the corner of the wall and tiptoed out of the door. Li Juli moved her body silently to block Park Soyeon's peripheral vision.
After successfully walking out of the door, Tang Jinyan let out a long sigh.
Before this, he didn't have the heart to think about these things. He only wanted to help Park Soyeon out of the quagmire. He didn't expect such a result.
But when he heard Park Soyeon's words, he wasn't surprised at all. His heart was very calm. It turned out that he had a premonition subconsciously.
Or rather, everyone had such a premonition. Even Lee Eun-suk would think, "Will she think that you're hitting on her …"
Of course, Jung Eun-thi was also included.
"Soyeon Oni is the most suitable person for you." Her words were very clear in his heart at this moment.
Scenes of the past flashed through his mind. Tang Jinyan finally knew what else Jung Eun-thi couldn't let go of besides the problems they knew.
Maybe she thought that the person he really cared about was Park Soyeon, or maybe she thought that Park Soyeon was more suitable for him, and she, Jung Eun-thi, was just "one of his women".
In other words, she had been hiding jealousy in her heart for a long time …
Tang Jinyan shook his head and smiled bitterly. He didn't expect that a woman as carefree as Eun-thi would have such tangled thoughts. It was indeed his negligence.
After calling the doctor to the ward, he didn't go in again. He quietly came out because of this. Park Soyeon needed peace at this moment. His appearance would definitely have the opposite effect.
So he silently held up an umbrella, walked to the grocery store outside the hospital, and bought a pack of cigarettes.
He hadn't smoked for a long time, but at this moment, the premise for him to quit smoking was no longer there.
He blew out a smoke ring and watched the smoke gradually dissipate in front of his eyes. It was as if many things were dissipating with it and slowly disappearing.
Speaking of which, it was strange. He had always felt that he couldn't quit smoking, but this time, he actually didn't have the thought of forcing her to stay. He could actually face this farewell so calmly.
The end of a relationship seemed to be just like a beautiful smoke ring. When you first saw it, it was stunning, but when it was about to dissipate, it was so calm and simple.
But Jung Eun-thi, do you know how scary Tang Jinyan would be if you didn't exist?
He stomped out the cigarette butt under his foot and strode away in the night rain.
*****
In the ward, the doctor checked and changed the dressing for more than an hour. Li Juli sat quietly by the side and watched, like a beautiful sculpture.
When the doctor left, Park Soyeon blushed and murmured, "Juli, I want to pee …"
Li Juli smiled and helped her up. "I forgot that there would be such a thing. If I had known, I would have asked him to stay."
Park Soyeon was stunned. "Him?"
Li Juli took out the urinal from under the bed as if nothing had happened. "Although I'm your wife, I think you probably prefer him to do this."
Park Soyeon sighed. "Don't make fun of him.
Just thinking about it makes me sad … "
Li Juli helped her to pee and suddenly said, "Eun-thi broke up with him."
The sound of urine stopped there for a few seconds before it continued to play out.
Li Juli chuckled.
Park Soyeon was annoyed. "Are you trying to anger me to death? You're joking like that."
Li Juli stopped smiling and said faintly, "It's true."
Park Soyeon widened her eyes. "Really?
Don't lie to me. "
Li Juli looked at her eyes seriously. "I'm not lying to you. Eun-thi broke up with him."
Park Soyeon's face changed and her lips trembled. After a long time, she murmured, "How can this be … Why?"
Li Juli lowered her eyes. "Shouldn't you be happy?"
"How can I be happy, Juli!"
Park Soyeon grabbed her arm and said anxiously, "If it's true, he will be very, very sad!"
Li Juli pursed her lips and didn't say anything. She silently helped her lie down again.
Was this how falling in love with someone?
Not thinking about whether she had a chance, but worrying about his feelings at the first moment?
Soyeon still didn't know why he broke up with Eun-thi. If she knew, would she blame herself for the rest of her life?
Not to mention encouraging Soyeon to be with him, she didn't even dare to let Soyeon know the truth …
Love was really … a damn thing.
She could only say vaguely, "Don't think too much. Rest well. He will definitely come to see you tomorrow. You'll know then."
Park Soyeon lay back down and asked hesitantly, "Today on the Internet … Did anything bad happen to T-ara?"
No … Li Juli opened her mouth. Tang Jinyan's painful expression flashed in her mind, but she couldn't say a simple sentence.
We've made a comeback, but he's the one who paid the price.
The strong guilt made it impossible to be happy in the face of such a joyous event. And how could she tell Soyeon this?
Li Juli bit her lower lip and closed her eyes in pain.
To be honest … It would be better to let him vent this once. At least it would make her feel better …
