Chapter 125 - We Have All Grown Up (1)

“What are you looking at?” The girl suddenly looked up at Zhong Yuhuan and her tone was a bit cold.

Zhong Yuhuan quietly turned away her gaze and asked, “Would you like some tissue?”

“No,” said the girl coldly.

Oh, she almost forgot.

Immediately after the female lead’s rebirth was when she started to shine and was filled with anger.

It would be best if she didn’t walk right into her warpath.

Zhong Yuhuan quietly shifted closer toward a corner.

That was when Zhong Yuhuan’s cellphone started to ring. She fished it out and took a look. Caller ID indicated that the call came from Li Jinyuan. 

Zhong Yuhuan couldn’t help but take another look at the female lead, Ling Zhilan. Zhong Yuhuan couldn’t describe how she currently felt.

She answered the call. 

Li Jinyuan’s voice came from the other end, “Huanhuan, we are downstairs now. Which floor are you on?” His voice sounded worried

Zhong Yuhuan paused for a second, then immediately responded, “Just wait for me downstairs. I am not ill. I’ll explain when I meet up with you.”

Li Jinyuan’s voice returned a little toward normal, “Okay, I’ll wait for you.”

And, just like that, he had excluded Huo Chengming again.

On his end, Huo Chengming’s face darkened a little.

Li Jinyuan pretended that he didn’t see it and just stared in the direction of the elevator lobby. 

The elevator arrived on the first floor quickly. The door opened and Zhong Yuhuan walked out. Ling Zhilan fell back a step behind her and also walked out of the elevator.

Zhong Yuhuan spotted Li Jinyuan and Huo Chengming immediately.

They had grown progressively taller and stronger, pushing 1.9 meters. One of them had on a sports jacket and the other one was in a suit. The two of them standing there were as attractive as a scenic spot.

Their faces, though, hadn’t changed much.

Perhaps she had been with them for too long already, she no longer felt anything special about their looks.

Zhong Yuhuan walked up to them. 

Before she could say anything, Li Jinyuan pulled her into his arms.

He pressed gently on her back and said in a low voice, “You are not the one who is ill?”

Zhong Yuhuan wasn’t sure how to react to his hug. Plus, due to the height difference, her face was buried almost entirely into his chest. She could only reply with a muffled voice, “Oh, not me. My dad.”

Huo Chengming was frowning originally and staring at Li Jinyuan’s action.

But after he heard her words, he stopped frowning. This was not the time and place. He asked in a low voice, “What happened?” After he had said that, he reached out and pulled Zhong Yuhuan out of Li Jinyuan’s arms and carefully studied her appearance.

“You didn’t sleep last night?” Huo Chengming could tell right away. 

“Ugh, I couldn’t sleep. He’s still in the ICU.”

Huo Chengming also pulled her into his arms and said, “Huanhuan… it will be alright.”

“Huanhuan, it will be alright,” said Li Jinyuan also as he, too, wrapped his arms around them.

The two tall and strong young men just trapped her in the middle.

Zhong Yuhuan felt that she had turned into a biscuit sandwich, “……”

She definitely felt that she was handling it fine when they were kids.

Back then, she could handle both the male lead and the villain at the same time, with room to spare!

Why did it seem so much more…. difficult after they have grown up? Was it because she was too short?

Zhong Yuhuan wasn’t sure what to make of that.

“I am alright,” said Zhong Yuhuan. 

As she was saying that, she saw Ling Zhilan through the gap. Ling Zhilan suddenly turned around when she reached the hospital entrance and looked over at Li Jinyuan, then at Zhong Yuhuan.

Zhong Yuhuan, “?”

The male and female lead shouldn’t know each other at this point yet?

Ling Zhilan also noticed Zhong Yuhuan looking at her and turned around and walked out of the hospital.

On their end, Li Jinyuan and Huo Chengming were completely oblivious about that. They didn’t care about others looking at them. If it wasn’t the location right now, they would have picked her up in a hug and coax her.

That was the one thing that they wanted to do most when they were young… when she was unhappy or down on her luck, they hoped that they could grow taller and stronger as quickly as possible. That way they’d be able to wrap their arms around her. She was so slender and petite, they could for sure wrap her in their arms.

Finally, Zhong Yuhuan found it difficult to breath and pushed the two of them off.

After the two tall boys moved to the side, Zhong Yuhuan immediately felt a breath of fresh air. 

“I am fine. Really. I am.”
