Hearing Long Mei’s words, Devin’s emotions were complicated.
He naturally understood why Long Mei was agreeing to date him.
That day, when the rescue team saved her and Ximen Jin, their hands had still been tightly clasped together. At that time, Long Mei had fainted but Ximen Jin still had a trace of consciousness.
Ximen Jin said to him, “Don’t tell her that I came to find her. I hope you can be together in the future.”
Ximen Jin entrusted her to him.
Before that, Devin thought that Ximen Jin was a complete scumbag and would never be worthy of Long Mei.
But at that moment, he felt that Ximen Jin was a real man.
Seeing that Devin was silent, Long Mei frowned. “Devin, what’s wrong? Are you unwilling?”
How could Devin be unmoved when his goddess was willing to be his girlfriend?
He wanted to say that he was willing, but…
If not for Ximen Jin, she might have gotten into trouble.
No matter how much he liked her, he could not steal someone else’s credit.
Devin looked at Long Mei and told her about how Ximen Jin had rushed to the snow mountain to save her on the day of the accident.
“Mei’er, I don’t want to hide it from you. The truth is that I’m not the one who saved you, but Ximen Jin.”
When Long Mei heard Devin’s words, her eyes were filled with disbelief.
“I-it’s him?” Long Mei covered her mouth, not daring to believe that Ximen Jin would run to save her.
Devin nodded. “Mei’er, I can tell that he still loves you very much.”
Long Mei’s eyes turned red and she looked out of the window to relieve herself.
Long Mei could not remember what had happened back then, but she knew that it must have been very dangerous. She also knew that he had been holding her hand tightly and had not let go.
After a while, Long Mei asked hoarsely, “How is he?”
Devin shook his head. “I’m not too sure about his condition.”
…
While Long Mei was hospitalized, Ximen Jin had not contacted her and she had not contacted him either.
To be honest, she was surprised and moved that he had run to the snow mountain to save her without caring about his life.
They had already agreed not to contact each other. Why did he risk his life to save her?
Xiao Ying entered the ward and looked at Long Mei, who was frowning and sighing. She put the nutritious porridge on the cabinet and sat by the bed, asking with concern, “Mei’er, are you feeling unwell?”
“Sister-in-law, it wasn’t Devin who saved me. It was Ximen Jin.”
Xiao Ying was slightly stunned before she guessed Long Mei’s thoughts. “Mei’er, are you worried about him?”
Long Mei bit her lip. “Who’s worried about him? There’s no news of a funeral in the Ximen family. He must still be alive.”
Looking at the stubborn and soft-hearted Long Mei, Xiao Ying took her phone from the bedside table and handed it to her. “Make a call and ask him!”
Long Mei took the phone and lowered her thick and long eyelashes. After hesitating for a few seconds, she called Ximen Jin.
She had already deleted this string of numbers a long time ago, but it felt like it had been carved into the depths of her bones. She did not need to think too much before her fingers had already pressed it.
The call went through.
Long Mei’s heartbeat sped up unconsciously.
It was just a thank you. Why was she so nervous?
The phone rang several times. Just when Long Mei thought that no one would answer, the call went through.
A soft female voice sounded. “Hello?”
Long Mei thought that she had called the wrong number and hung up after apologizing.
“What’s wrong?” Xiao Ying looked at Long Mei in confusion.
“A woman answered it. I must have called the wrong number.”
Long Mei looked down at the number she was calling and checked it carefully. There was no mistake.
“Forget it. When I’m discharged, I’ll go and thank him personally!”
…
After Long Mei was discharged from the hospital, she went to find Ximen Jin personally.
No matter what he had done to hurt her, he had saved her life.
She would feel bad if she did not thank him in person.
Long Mei went to the Ximen family and observed them secretly for two days. Seeing that there were servants carrying thermos boxes out every day, she followed behind the servant’s car on the third day.
The maid arrived at a private hospital.
Long Mei followed the servant to the top floor of the hospital.
The security at the top floor was strict, and the patients who stayed there were either rich or noble. Ordinary people could not enter without an access card.
Long Mei waited for a while and saw that servant and Ximen Jin’s confidant coming out.
When Ximen Jin’s confidant saw Long Mei, he was slightly surprised. “Miss Long, why are you here?”
“I’m here to see your Young Master. Something happened to me at the snow mountain and he saved me. I’ll thank him in person and leave.”
The confidant looked at the flowers and fruit basket in Long Mei’s hand. He asked the servant to leave first and said to Long Mei, “I’ll go ask for Young Master’s opinion.”
Long Mei nodded. “Okay.”
A few minutes later, Ximen Jin’s confidant came over. “Miss Long, Young Master asked you to go over. He’s in Room 906.”
Long Mei took a deep breath and walked toward Room 906.
The conversation she had had with him on the island that day was still vivid in her mind.
She had thought that they would never meet again.
But who would have thought that he would run to the snow mountain to save her?
Ximen Jin was staying in the VIP ward. There were bodyguards in black standing in the corridor and many people had sent flower baskets.
Long Mei stood in front of the glass window and looked inside. There were many people standing in the ward.
Long Mei’s gaze landed on a slender figure in a lady’s dress.
Long Mei could not see the woman’s face clearly. She could only see the side of her face. It was fair, gentle, and beautiful.
The people in the ward surrounded Ximen Jin and said something. Ximen Jin waved his hand impatiently, gesturing for them to leave.
Very quickly, the ward returned to silence, leaving only the woman in the dress.
Long Mei raised her hand and knocked on the door.
“Come in.”
Long Mei pushed open the door and walked in.
They had not seen each other for nearly a month since that parting on the island.
He had lost a lot of weight and his facial features looked even more handsome and wild.
He looked up and glanced at the door. When he saw Long Mei, his expression remained indifferent.
Long Mei realized that there were some changes in him. It was as if he had been through many things. Even if he were to encounter another problem, his expression would not change.
“Ximen Jin.” It was still a little unnatural for her to call his name.
In the past, she had always called him ‘Ah Jin’. It was so intimate and soft.
Ximen Jin nodded at her, a faint smile on his lips.
“I came to see you.” Long Mei was a little nervous and uneasy under his calm gaze.
“Thank you.” He nodded at her and then looked at the young woman standing by the bed. “Qingqing, please move the chair for my friend.”
The girl called Ye Qingqing moved a chair over for Long Mei.
After Long Mei put down the flowers and fruits, she sat by the bed.
“I’m fine. I’ll be discharged in a few days.” He looked at her like she was a friend he had not seen for a long time and smiled naturally.
On the way here, Long Mei had come up with many scenarios after they met.
But she had never thought that he would be so calm.
