Chapter 223: Chapter 223 Pretending to be Deaf and Dumb

He gazed at her for a moment.

An Yin was taken aback for a moment, the sour feeling in her heart subsided. Although his words made her feel a little better, there was something subtle about them upon closer listening.

An Yin didn’t want to overthink it and muttered, "Thank you for the comfort!"

Bao Shaojin’s back stiffened, his voice faintly restrained, "Get some good rest!"

"Mm." An Yin nodded.

At that moment, the phone on the bedside table buzzed.

An Yin was about to reach for it when she saw the young girl lying there. She picked it up and handed it to the girl.

An Yin took it, glanced at the caller ID, and answered the call.

"Yinyin!" Jiang Keke’s voice sounded hesitant.

During these days in the hospital, because of her health, An Yin focused on her eyes every day, almost forgetting that Jiang Keke was still upset with her. Now that Jiang Keke took the initiative to call, An Yin felt very touched.

"Keke, did you get discharged?" An Yin asked nervously, attempting to sit up but stopped when she noticed the man’s cold gaze on her.

"Yes, on the second day I was discharged," Jiang Keke admitted.

"That’s good." An Yin breathed a sigh of relief.

After hesitating for a while, Jiang Keke asked, "Did you take some days off too? Are you down with a cold?" Jiang Keke was already accustomed to An Yin’s frail health.

"Spicy soup splashed in my eyes, but it’s much better now." An Yin didn’t want her to worry, pretending everything was fine, with a cheerful tone.

"Are you in the dorm? Or the hospital?" Jiang Keke asked calmly.

"Hospitalized!"

"Then I’ll come see you."

"No need, I’ll be discharged soon." When talking about being discharged, there was a hint of joy in An Yin’s voice. The past few days felt like an eternity to her.

"Alright." Jiang Keke didn’t insist on visiting, hesitated for a long while, and couldn’t express a complete sentence.

Seeing this, An Yin asked puzzledly, "Keke, do you have something to say?"

In An Yin’s eyes, Jiang Keke was straightforward, always saying what was on her mind, never acting shy like this. Unintentionally, An Yin realized her friend’s temperament was becoming more emotional.

Just then, Assistant Lin walked in from outside, evidently with something to report.

Upon seeing Assistant Lin, Bao Shaojin stood up and walked toward the window. Assistant Lin followed along.

On the hospital bed, An Yin felt a weight lifted off her anxious heart as she watched the man move away; she earnestly held the phone to her ear.

"Keke, are you still listening?" An Yin prompted again when she realized the other person wasn’t speaking.

"Yes." Jiang Keke replied with difficulty, then said with effort, "Yinyin, I’ll pretend not to know about the Bao Cheng matter. From now on, don’t let anything slip in front of Bao Cheng."

An Yin was stunned, "Wh-why?"

"If I bring up this issue in front of Bao Cheng, it will inevitably affect our relationship." By saying this, Jiang Keke was essentially exposing her own wound to others. Although it was very unpleasant, to her, there were things that must be said.

"Keke, think it over, Bao Cheng he..." When mentioning Bao Cheng, her voice couldn’t help but become somewhat agitated.

This immediately drew the attention of the two men discussing by the window toward her.

The words ’Bao Cheng’ were clearly overheard by the two men.

Assistant Lin raised his eyes to look at Mr. Bao beside him, only to see his face suddenly turned cold, with a few menacing shadows between his brows, making one feel immediate dread.

The slow-witted An Yin also noticed Bao Shaojin looking her way, and she quickly fell silent, avoiding his gaze.

On the other end, Jiang Keke, hearing An Yin abruptly stop, expressed her true thoughts, "Yinyin, since I’ve made this decision, I won’t easily change it."

Jiang Keke paused, her tone filled with ambition, "This winter break, I’m joining a film crew. I hope there won’t be any complications."

This was why Jiang Keke made the call.

After listening, An Yin, despite feeling choked up inside, realized she’s powerless, "I understand."

"Also, don’t take those angry words I said in the hospital seriously. In my heart, you’ll always be my good friend!" Jiang Keke spoke earnestly.

Jiang Keke’s words warmed An Yin’s heart, "Keke, you’re also my good friend."

During their almost three years in college, they shared meals and living spaces, their genuine happy moments, and each other’s companionship enriched their respective spiritual worlds.

For An Yin, this friendship was immensely precious!

After hanging up, An Yin held onto the phone, lost in thought.

Jiang Keke, who once couldn’t tolerate even a grain of sand in her eyes, gradually changed after being with Bao Cheng! She could endure Bao Cheng’s infidelity, pretending it didn’t happen and continuing to live with him...

People really do change!

An Yin believed the reason behind Jiang Keke’s unusual actions was simply her deep love for Bao Cheng!

Her heart couldn’t help but ache more for her!

"What are you thinking about?" Bao Shaojin walked up beside the hospital bed at some point, coldly looking at her.

Immersed in thought, An Yin was interrupted, her glowing gaze meeting his sharp cold eyes.

"N-nothing." An Yin denied.

Bao Shaojin frowned deeply, recalling her phone conversation about Bao Cheng...

Hmph! This ungrateful girl, he’s been by her side in the hospital these days, but she’s secretly thinking about her boyfriend?

"If you need anything, call the nurse, I’m leaving!" Bao Shaojin said this and immediately turned to leave.

Standing at the foot of the bed, Assistant Lin saw the tense atmosphere between them and nodded at the dazed person on the bed, "Miss An, I’ll take my leave as well." With that, Assistant Lin hurriedly followed after him.

Seeing Mr. Bao’s stern face, Assistant Lin dared not imagine what challenges awaited him ahead.

Only after the man left did An Yin regain her senses, staring at the tightly closed door.

This man’s temper was odd; one moment he seemed normal, the next, it felt like she owed him a fortune, showing such a fierce demeanor, for whom?

An Yin patted her chest, the man’s gaze just now was too intense; it indeed scared her a bit.

***

After being discharged, An Yin resumed her usual classes.

During this time, Jiang Keke was busy rehearsing dance routines; they didn’t have much time to chat. As for Jiang Keke’s earlier mention of moving back to the dorm, it didn’t seem like there was any move, nor did An Yin bring it up again.

Perhaps that decision was just an impulsive notion back then!

What troubled An Yin was that Bao Shaojin didn’t come when she was discharged, instead, Assistant Lin handled the procedures.
