Waiting for the eternity of the moment

Chapter 13 Who is by your side when you are helpless (5)
Seeing Ruolin's haggard expression, Mu Jingyan only felt distressed. He patted her on the shoulder and comforted her with words: "Relax, it's nothing. The doctor who performed the operation is an expert in heart disease. Auntie will be safe and sound." Yes."

He spoke so gently, with such a slow tone, Ruolin seemed to feel that she had taken a reassurance and was no longer so nervous.

The corridor outside the operating room was so quiet that it felt suffocating.

Ruolin's palms were already wet with sweat, she leaned on the bench, her brows were slightly frowned, and her face was full of uneasiness.

Suddenly, a slender and warm hand reached out and held her somewhat helpless hand.Only Mu Jingyan's voice was heard: "With me by my side, don't be afraid. Nothing will happen."

Ruolin didn't dodge, but leaned weakly on Mu Jingyan's shoulder.She was tired, really tired.

Even though the hospital was filled with the strong smell of Lysol, Ruolin could still smell the faint mint smell from Mu Jingyan's body, like the smell of bath milk.

This man she had been secretly in love with for a long time, seemed to have matured, yet didn't seem to have changed. At a certain moment, she couldn't help but think of the past when she was moved by him.

It was a very long wait, as long as a century.

Finally, the door of the operating room opened, and the chief surgeon came out. As soon as she took off her mask, Ruolin rushed up and asked, "Doctor, how is my mother?"

"Very well, everything went well."

A big stone that had been hanging in Ruolin's heart fell to the ground.However, she just heard the doctor say that, and then she couldn't hear anything.Because her eyes were blackened and she passed out on the ground.

When she woke up, Ruolin found herself lying on a hospital bed surrounded by white flowers.what happened?The one lying on the hospital bed should be my mother, how could it be me?

Ruo Lin was about to get up when someone held her down.

"You're still on the infusion, don't move around." Mu Jingyan said softly while stopping Ruolin from sitting up.

"How is my mother's situation now?" Ruolin asked eagerly.

"It's fine. Ruowen and Aunt Sun are taking care of her, so don't worry. Take care of yourself first."

"What's wrong with me?" Ruo Lin looked at the infusion tube in puzzlement.

"You passed out suddenly just now. The doctor said it was lack of sleep, too much pressure, and overwork. Get some fluids and rest well and you'll be fine."

"This time... I have troubled you too much." Ruo Lin looked up at Mu Jingyan's face and said gratefully.

"You are too polite, we have known each other for how many years!"

"The matter of the operation fee..." Ruo Lin wanted to say that it might take a long time to pay back the operation fee.

"I'm not in a hurry, you pay it back slowly. A large part of it is the money my parents left me for my wedding, and I haven't considered getting married yet. So just pay me back before I get married." Mu Jingyan Hastily interrupted Ruolin's words.

"This...how is this so embarrassing? Isn't this delaying your lifelong event? And bring the money you plan to get married..." Ruo Lin felt a little tangled in her heart.

"I'm still young, and I'm not in a hurry to get married now. Besides...even if I want to get married, I won't be able to find a suitable partner for a while!"

ah?Does he not have a girlfriend now?Who was that girl he led at the party last year?Have the two already broken up?Or had she misunderstood him and that girl wasn't his girlfriend at all?
However, whether he has a girlfriend should not be her concern.It's just that she didn't want to delay his marriage by herself. If he couldn't get married because of his lack of money, it would be her fault.

I don't want to, just redouble my efforts to make money and pay him back after taking care of my body.

Zhou Li's operation was successful, her body gradually improved, and her face became rosy.

Ruolin can finally leave here with peace of mind and return to City D.

The editor-in-chief of the magazine called twice, under the pretense of greeting Ruolin's mother, but actually urging her when she could go back to work.I can't blame the editor-in-chief. After all, she has been on vacation for two weeks, and she has indeed delayed a lot of work. Han Haoxuan hasn't written a single word of the interview.After finally being promoted from a process editor to a columnist for the brand column, I should have worked harder to be worthy of the editor-in-chief's trust.

Coincidentally, the day she went back was also the day Mu Jingyan returned to City D.The two just fit together.

In fact, Mu Jingyan's work had already been done, and he could have left earlier, but he was worried about Ruo Lin's health on the way, so he asked for a few more days' leave with his unit, intending to leave with Ruo Lin.

He originally wanted to buy two air tickets, but he knew Ruolin's personality, so he decided against it.If he helped her bear the travel expenses, she would definitely not want to; if she had to bear the travel expenses by herself, given her current situation, it seemed a bit extravagant.

So, he consulted Ruo Lin and bought two train tickets with adjacent seats.

In the evening, Ruo Lin and Mu Jingyan boarded the train bound for D city.

The sky outside the car window gradually darkened, and Ruolin's drowsiness also came over her.

During this period of time, she was really exhausted. She stayed by her mother's side for several nights. Her mother advised her to go back, but she was afraid that her mother would not be able to find help from others at night, so she refused to go back. She stayed by her mother's side, although she was tired. Some, but she felt that for her mother, it was worth doing anything.

She closed the curtains and leaned her head gently against the curtains.With her eyes slightly closed, she fell asleep unconsciously, looking like a well-behaved child.

After an unknown amount of time, Ruolin woke up from the cold, and the air conditioner in the carriage was too strong.

She opened her eyes slightly, only to find that she was leaning on Mu Jingyan's shoulder!
She didn't know if he was asleep, but just leaned against the seat motionless.She didn't dare to move, for fear of waking him up, how embarrassing it would be.Although she also stayed on his broad shoulders for a while when my mother was undergoing surgery, the situation at that time was different from the current situation after all.

Her right arm was gently pressed against his left arm, and she could feel the temperature on his arm, unlike her cold arm, his arm exuded a trace of heat.She had never been so close to him, and her heart began to fluster and pound.She could smell the faint scent of peppermint emanating from him.

She could imagine that their posture leaning together should be very ambiguous, like a couple.Thinking of this, her face turned red.Fortunately, now there are only small lights by the window left in the car, which looks a little dim.

The air-conditioning in the car continuously radiated out, Ruolin couldn't help shivering, this action startled her, thinking it would wake Mu Jingyan up, but luckily it didn't.

She held her breath, and slowly moved her head away from his shoulder, moving very lightly, then moved her arm little by little, and finally, she left that warm place.She let out a long breath, suppressing her nervous heart.

Then, she raised her eyes slightly and looked at Mu Jingyan next to him. He was sleeping with a peaceful expression.Ruolin's tense heart slowly relaxed.

She looked at him carefully: his brows are clear, his skin is as moist as jade, his eyelashes are black, his nose bridge is straight, his lips are thin, his face is illuminated by the dim light, it looks a little unreal, so handsome, like a beautiful ink painting .

She had never looked at him so closely before.Maybe she dared to look at him so blatantly only when he was asleep.

The man who moved her heart for the first time, even though it has been so long, looking at him now, she still feels an inexplicable warm emotion flowing in her heart.

She gently opened the curtain next to her. It was pitch black outside, and there were sporadic lights flickering in the distance. She guessed it was late at night.She didn't sleep well, her neck was a little sore, and she rubbed it with her hands.

Now she dare not sleep, fearing that the situation just now will happen again.

She still remembered that she was leaning against the curtain before going to bed, but why did she lean on Mu Jingyan's shoulder when she woke up?I feel a little inexplicable.

She wanted to hang on until dawn like that, but looking at the dark night and the little lights outside, her eyelids started to fight again, her upper eyelids became heavy, and her body could not help but lean towards the window, and finally leaned against the window under the force of gravity. on the curtain.

The train was jolting a little while it was running, and it made people shake a little bit.Ruolin's head leaning against the curtains started to lean towards Mu Jingyan's side, and then leaned towards the curtains, shaking slightly from side to side like this, giving the impression that she was very tired from sleep.

Seeing that she was sleeping uncomfortably, Mu Jingyan gently leaned her head on his shoulder again.

In fact, Mu Jingyan didn't fall asleep, he was always in a state of half asleep and half awake in such a disturbed situation.When he saw Ruolin sleeping so tired, he had an urge to lend her a shoulder, but he was hesitant.In the end, seeing her was really tiring, I couldn't bear it, and even felt a little distressed.In order to let her sleep more comfortably, he still did that.

The first time he leaned Ruolin's body against him, Mu Jingyan's heart was extremely tense, and he tried his best to restrain his beating heart so that he could quietly let Ruolin lean on his shoulder.At that time, he was extremely afraid that Ruolin would wake up, and he didn't know how Ruolin would misunderstand him. Fortunately, everything was done very carefully and nothing went wrong.

When Ruolin leaned on his shoulder again, the tension in his heart was also reduced a lot.

When Ruolin slowly moved away from him just now, he noticed it, but he pretended that he was still asleep. He could feel the slight movement of Ruolin when she moved away. All he could do was to close his eyes and let Ruolin Lin Weiliang's arms left her.

At this time, Ruolin, who was leaning on his shoulder, fell asleep peacefully, and seemed to be sleeping soundly, breathing evenly.The fair skin was shrouded in dim light, making it look even more charming.

Mu Jingyan lowered his eyes slightly, looking at Ruolin on his shoulder, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

When Ruolin woke up again, she was already leaning against the curtains. She rubbed her sleepy eyes, looked at the gradually brightening sky outside the window, and asked Mu Jingyan next to her, "Is it almost time to stop?"

"Yeah." Mu Jingyan replied softly, he turned his head to look at Ruolin, her face was not too ugly, she probably slept well last night, he secretly smiled in his heart.

Mu Jingyan didn't mention the matter of relying on each other to sleep the whole night, and Ruolin didn't mention it either, so they pretended it never happened.Just a small episode that happened during the journey.
