Chapter 682: Chapter 681 The One in My Heart Is Not You

Long Xinghe woke up for the second time to find that it was already deep into the night.

This time upon awakening, she could clearly feel that her strength had increased considerably.

It seemed that she could even sit up on her own.

However, her bones still hurt, probably where Jiang Tao had mentioned they were broken.

Moving her body, she immediately felt a numbing pain in her scalp.

But as soon as she moved, she knew which bone was the problem. Avoiding it, she could still manage to get up with some effort.

Seeing her attempting to rise, someone immediately hurried over to her.

Long Xinghe smiled and said, "Jiang Tao, no need to help, let me try on my own."

The person by the bed didn’t speak, just quietly watched her.

Beads of sweat formed on Long Xinghe’s forehead. In such cold winter days, it was clear that the pain she was enduring was more intense than imagined.

Yet, she persisted.

Finally, she managed to sit up in bed.

A simple movement for most people, but for Long Xinghe, it took all her might, almost causing her to break out in a full sweat.

The person beside her sighed softly and without sound, "Are you always this stubborn?"

Startled, Long Xinghe quickly looked up, meeting those clear and bright eyes directly.

There was surprise in her eyes, but she tried hard to calm herself down.

She couldn’t be too surprised!

He was like a porcelain doll, not to be touched or startled. She feared that even a slightly more expressive face from her might scare him.

"Weren’t you worried about male-female propriety? Have you finally dared to come in?"

Feng Wuya pursed his lips, unsure how to respond to her words. His handsome face became slightly flushed.

"The person in my heart isn’t you."

"You really are direct. Here I am, a patient, and you don’t even know to cheer me up a bit before you go and upset me," Long Xinghe said with a helpless smile.

Feng Wuya’s face showed a hint of guilt, "Sorry..."

"No need to apologize to me; whatever you say, I won’t give up."

"You..." This kind of remark would have made Feng Wuya angry in the past.

He wasn’t someone who took jokes well, especially concerning such matters.

But today, there was no intention to get angry, only a sense of helplessness.

"Miss Long..."

"You like Ali, I know."

"I have absolutely no improper intentions towards Ali."

"But you do have desires."

"I..." He wanted to deny it, but faced with Long Xinghe’s lucid eyes, he couldn’t utter a word of falsehood.

After a while, he then said, "At least, my heart is free from mixed feelings, and I would do nothing to wrong Loyal Brother and Ali."

Falling in love is inexplicable; before you know it, it’s suddenly there.

He had tried to forget and to ignore, but both proved utterly futile.

Afterward, he learned to bury these feelings quietly deep within his heart.

Even if he couldn’t stop thinking about it, at least he wouldn’t speak of it or bring it up, letting the whole world think he didn’t care.

Long Xinghe smiled faintly, "No need to be nervous; I won’t tell anyone about this. I just want to let you know that I’m aware the person in your heart isn’t me, which is why I have no expectations for you to do anything for me."

She gestured with her hand, "Please, have a seat."

Feng Wuya sat down beside her, still remaining silent.

Not used to making conversation with others.

"Did you come to visit me out of guilt or gratitude?"

"Both," he admitted without concealment.

Long Xinghe exhaled softly, somewhat helplessly, "Should I praise your honesty, or should I complain about you being too direct?"

Fortunately, she wasn’t a typical coy girl; otherwise, she really would have been angered to death.

"Now that you’ve followed me here, can you tell me why you left the Imperial City in such a hurry? Perhaps I can help."

Suddenly remembering something, Feng Wuya looked at her urgently, "Indeed, there is something I would like to ask for Miss Long’s help with!"
