Chapter 387: Chapter 361: Don’t Be Greedy (Congratulations Kateliu on Becoming the First Silver Alliance in This Book)
Dong Yi lay in bed, actually wanting to keep pretending to be unconscious.
When Yu Mingyi came in, he had already seen her with her eyes open, so closing her eyes again would be too fake.
The man she wanted but dared not meet, and loved but dared not express, was standing right by her bed.
When one cares about someone, they become extra sensitive to their every move. Dong Yi felt that turning away would be too deliberate, but facing him was also embarrassing.
Yu Mingyi looked at her lying in bed, his heart filled with mixed feelings, but even more so, he was full of heartache.
He broke the silence, “You’ve lost weight.”
“Hmm.”
Besides that, neither of them spoke. A few more seconds passed, and Dong Yi took the initiative to break the silence.
“How is Panpan’s illness?”
“He… isn’t doing well.” Yu Mingyi decided to tell the truth.
“The child misses you so much, he’s been crying all these days.”
Dong Yi’s nose soured, tears almost falling but she couldn’t cry, she could only hold it in.
If her emotions were to overflow at this moment, he would be even more troubled. Perhaps he would think she was using Panpan to play the emotional card.
“Da Yi, I want to ask you, would you be willing to—help me comfort Panpan?”
After saying these words, Yu Mingyi felt more relaxed.
Although reason told him that since he had already decided not to burden her, he should not have any further relationship with Dong Yi, even if the child cried, seeing how much the child missed her, he—
Well, all of the above are excuses.
Yu Mingyi couldn’t even deceive himself. At this moment, everything he was doing was purely instinctive. There was also a sense of deceiving himself with excuses.
As long as this hanging sword could fall a little later, even if the final outcome was already predetermined, delaying it a bit was fine.
Dong Yi was eager to agree, she missed Panpan terribly. Seeing him sick and still thinking of her, she really couldn’t bear to leave him.
But for some reason, the words that came out of her mouth turned into a defiant refusal.
“I don’t want to.”
Yu Mingyi’s eyes darkened.
“Alright, I respect your choice.”
After saying this, he got up and prepared to leave, because there really was no excuse to stay any longer.
“If it’s convenient for you, don’t give up the house. Let Aunt bring Panpan over every week, and when I start school, I can also come over to accompany Panpan on Saturdays and Sundays.”
Yu Mingyi turned around, a hint of brightness on his gloomy face. Dong Yi forced herself not to look at his face, afraid that she would lose control of her emotions.
“You don’t have to go, let Aunt bring Panpan alone to see me, so you won’t be troubled when you see me.”
Yu Mingyi felt his throat go dry, his heart aching with every word. He wanted to say that he wasn’t troubled, he just didn’t want to affect her, lest people gossip about her.
But he couldn’t say anything.

“Hmm.”
“I think we should deal with this issue more maturely. Although I don’t want to see you again, Panpan is innocent. I am his primary doctor. If I give up now, Panpan may not adjust well to a new doctor. So let’s not meet again, you should stay away.”
Half-defiant, half-serious, Dong Yi spoke.
She hoped that Yu Mingyi would argue with her, even unconsciously, hoping that he would provide a reason to meet again.
“Alright, I won’t see you again.”
After Yu Mingyi finished speaking, he turned and left.
Dong Yi felt as if her heart had frozen, and she silently buried her face in the covers. He had just left like that, so resolute, but this was all her doing.
Boss Qian’s words seemed to echo in her ears.
They had already enjoyed the process, experienced what it was like to love someone wholeheartedly, and to desire a result now would be too greedy, even for themselves.
How could she be so greedy? He had saved her so many times, yet she had repeatedly made things difficult for him. Why couldn’t she just quietly remain as a secret admirer, secretly loving him from the shadows?
She was too greedy… Dong Yi’s tears all fell into her pillow, forcing herself not to think about it.
What could she be, to think of being with a general’s son and an infinitely promising pilot? Just do her best to take care of Panpan and heal him as a way to repay his lifesaving grace, and not think about anything else.
But controlling her thoughts, her heart still hurt so much.
Perhaps this was the best outcome for both of them. At this moment, Yu Mingyi and Dong Yi had the same thoughts.
Yu Mingyi thought of Dong Yi’s coldness when she said she didn’t want to see him again. That kind of unfamiliar yet familiar sting began to spread again.
As a pilot, he had to be absolutely sensitive to his body condition. When he first got divorced, his superiors had him undergo an elaborate examination, including a psychological intervention group that tested him. If his emotions were bad, they would give him time off to calm down.
After all, his job required absolute accuracy, and his attitude had to be perfectly calm.
But after walking out of Dong Yi’s ward, Yu Mingyi had the impulse to take time off to adjust his state. He felt that his emotions were out of control; he definitely couldn’t fly at this moment.
Even after divorcing and learning of Wang Xiaohong’s infidelity, he had never reacted like this. What was going on? His heart seemed to be harboring a balloon that was filling up with air, ready to burst at any moment, but it just wouldn’t. A nameless rage was spreading…
The eldest sister-in-law walked up and called out to Second Brother Yu, who had a dark look on his face.
“Second Brother, are you going home?”
“Yes. Please help me take good care of Da Yi after her infusion. Buy some nourishing medicine for her, put it on my account.”
“Why don’t you wait for her to finish her infusion and take her home? The girl is staying at Xiao Qian’s house now. Xiao Qian and Ming Lang have already gone back. How could you let her take a taxi all by herself in such an unfamiliar place?”
Xiao Qian never expected that Second Brother Yu wouldn’t escort Dong Yi.
“Call a car then, I’m not free.”
“Fine.” The eldest sister-in-law knew not to ask more and suppressed her curiosity, planning to ask Xiao Qian about what was going on later.
“By the way, Second Brother, your aunt is in the hospital right now. Don’t you want to see her? The youngest couple just left without a word, right under Aunt’s nose. Aunt was angry. Luckily, I was there to cover for it.”
The eldest sister-in-law didn’t know about the grudges between Aunt and Yu Minglang, so she figured that if the youngest one ran away and Second Brother didn’t see Aunt, Aunt would definitely pick a fight at home.
“I’ll go take a look.” Yu Mingyi asked for his aunt’s room number and was about to go when he suddenly remembered something and took out one of the two small bread ornaments he had bought from his pocket and handed it to the eldest sister-in-law.
“Eldest Sister-in-law, give this to Da Yi. Just say you bought it, don’t mention me.”
“Alright.”
It wasn’t until Yu Mingyi went to see his aunt that the eldest sister-in-law held the bread ornament in her hand, feeling the nice texture.
“When did Second Brother become so good at coaxing girls? It’s hard to believe he has nothing to do with this girl… ” the eldest sister-in-law murmured, looking at Yu Mingyi’s retreating figure.
