"Really? Which one did you play with?" Guo Xinli opened his bag and showed Ling Yiran the Transformers toys in it as he spoke.
Ling Yiran took a look. These were not just a few. There were a ton of them! There were at least a dozen at a glance.
Ling Yiran found the same toy she had played with last time—Bumblebee.
"This was what I had," said Ling Yiran as she looked at the Bumblebee in her hand. A touch of nostalgia flashed across her almond-shaped eyes.
"You can have it then," said Guo Xinli.
"But aren’t these for Lil Yan?" asked Ling Yiran.
"There are so many more for Lil Yan. He won't miss this one. You can keep this one as a souvenir," said Guo Xinli.
'Souvenir...' Ling Yiran looked at the Bumblebee in her hands. She had begged her grandmother for this toy for so long. She had no concept of money back then, and she had no idea that her grandmother had used the money she normally saved to buy it for her.
Ling Yiran's heart softened as she thought of her grandmother. "Thank you," she said with a chuckle and accepted the Bumblebee.
Guo Xinli smiled after seeing that she was willing to take it. Even though he knew they could never get together, he was happy inside.
They smiled at each other, unaware of the eyes that were peering down from the floor of the inpatient ward.
Hua Lifang was in Gu Lichen's ward when Ling Yiran got there.
Hua Lifang was immediately speechless and could only shyly stop speaking, but a hint of malice still flashed across her eyes.
Ling Yiran did not bother to pay attention to Hua Lifang either. She turned to Gu Lichen and asked, "Are you feeling better?"
Gu Lichen said, "Yes. I can get out of bed and walk now. Can you peel me another apple?"
"Okay," said Ling Yiran. The nearby Hua Lifang also quickly said, "Lichen, why don't I peel the apple for you? Let Yiran rest."
"Lifang, go and check if my test report has come out," said Gu Lichen.
'You can just ring the bell for the nurse!' thought Hua Lifang. He was making it clear that he wanted to get her out of the room and be alone with Yiran.
