I rejected your confession, but you took my best friend home?

Chapter 407 is what I wrote, this is it...

"Um?!"

For a moment, the other three people in the ward were stunned, staring at Yu Lingxue with incredulous eyes...

Bai Cang, in particular, lay there with his mouth wide open, as if a fist could fit inside...

What does this mean? Why did Yu Lingxue suddenly say such things in front of her mother?

Good news? She just said it was good news?

"Ah...I...I've seen this child before..."

Yu Lingxue's mother was stunned for a long time before slowly nodding, looking at Bai Cang, and speaking softly.

She remembered Bai Cang; she had even visited his home before. But she never imagined that Yu Lingxue actually liked him...

When she heard Yu Lingxue say that she had someone she liked, she thought she was just comforting her. But it turned out to be true.

Yu Lingxue turned her head and looked at Bai Cang lying there. The two looked at each other, and Bai Cang still had a blank and shocked expression.

"Oops..." Yu Lingxue, however, revealed a playful smile, sticking out a tiny bit of her tongue, looking quite mischievous...

For a moment, Bai Cang was somewhat dazed. In his mind, the sentence he had written down came to mind:

[The Ordinary Yu Lingxue]...

Isn't this exactly what Yu Lingxue is like now?

She no longer has much to do with Junheng, and she's probably completely broken ties with her father. She no longer needs to participate in those competitions.

Now she has a good job, so many good friends, and goals and dreams. She's just an ordinary girl, and also his favorite...

"What happened to him? How did he get so badly injured..." Old Li was puzzled. Judging from the extent of the injury, it looked like he had been in a car accident.

"Ah I..."

Bai Cang didn't know how to start, so he looked at Yu Lingxue and thought that she should say it herself, whatever she said would be fine.

Yu Lingxue pursed her lips and whispered, "To protect me..."

Upon hearing this, Bai Cang felt a sense of relief, but he didn't really know what he had been worried about...

But a thought lingered in his mind: he wanted Yu Lingxue to admit this, as if he would be very happy if she did...

"That's it..."

Yu Lingxue's mother and Old Li exchanged a glance, seemingly understanding something. When her mother looked at Bai Cang again, her eyes held a hint of gratitude.

"Thank you, child, thank you for protecting Xiaoxue..."

"Uh! Auntie, this is... what I should do, I... I also..."

Bai Cang suddenly became agitated, seemingly lost in thought, and even paused at the end of his sentence.

Yu Lingxue looked at Bai Cang strangely, wondering what he wanted to say.

After a few seconds, Bai Cang continued in a very serious and earnest tone:

"I like Yu Lingxue too! She's my favorite person..."

"Um?!"

In an instant, Yu Lingxue's face flushed crimson! A flicker of panic flashed in her dark eyes, and her heart began to race...

He took a half step back, stared at Bai Cang, and muttered, "What...what are you saying!"

"Ha ha..."

Yu Lingxue's mother and Lao Li exchanged a smile and couldn't help but chuckle.

Then they both realized that they were only worried about Yu Lingxue, but now it seemed that there was nothing to worry about.

"Okay, Xiaoxue, you take good care of Xiaocang here. Don't worry about me. Your Uncle Li can take care of me, and I'm getting better and better too. Just take good care of him, okay?"

Yu Lingxue's mother smiled and softly gave her instructions.

Yu Lingxue raised her hand, as if she wanted to say something, but the words caught in her throat. Instead, she nodded and replied:

"Got it, Mom."

"Okay, we'll head back now. You should take care and get some rest too."

After exchanging a few more words, Old Li pushed Yu Lingxue's mother away, and they didn't want to disturb the two of them any longer...

After they left, Yu Lingxue sat down and looked at Bai Cang on the hospital bed. The two gazed at each other for a long time...

"Pfft-"

The next second, the two of them burst into laughter simultaneously. Yu Lingxue covered her mouth with laughter, while Bai Cang felt a headache coming on with every laugh... but he still couldn't help laughing...

"What are you doing! What are you laughing at!" Yu Lingxue asked, pointing at Bai Cang while laughing.

"Can't I laugh? Then why are you laughing?"

"It's none of your business..."

Both of them wore undisguised smiles, though they didn't actually know why they were laughing; they just couldn't help but smile when they saw each other...

After a while, Bai Cang asked in a low voice, "Um... I wanted to ask you something..."

"what?"

"It's like... when we first entered high school, do you remember that time we wrote down our favorite person, our least favorite person, and our dreams..."

"Huh? It seems...there is such a thing, what's wrong?"

Yu Lingxue was slightly taken aback, as if she remembered something upon hearing Bai Cang's words.

Bai Cang slowly opened his mouth and said, "The person you hate the most should be me, right?"

Yu Lingxue paused for a moment, blinked, turned her head to look elsewhere, and whispered:

"Hmm, at least you know your place. What's wrong? Is it not allowed?"

"Hmm...you wrote your mother as your favorite person?"

"Huh? You know that? You peeked at it back then?" Yu Lingxue frowned slightly and asked in confusion.

"I didn't peek. I know you pretty well, don't I? That's not important. What I want to ask is... what did you write as your wish back then?"

Bai Cang gripped the blanket tightly, looking expectantly at Yu Lingxue, trying to get her answer.

He felt that it wasn't just a simple dream; perhaps... what he saw might be real.

Yu Lingxue was stunned for a few seconds before she reacted, frowned, and pointed at Bai Cang, questioning him:

Did you really peek?

"Uh? No, I didn't! I just remembered and wanted to ask."

"Really?"

"Yeah, really, so what exactly did you write?"

"You really want to know?"

"Yes, I do. Tell me."

"Um..."

Yu Lingxue hesitated for a moment, then looked around as if to make sure no one was eavesdropping.

Then he lowered his head, leaned close to Bai Cang's ear, and whispered:

"I'm not telling you! Dream on!"

"Uh?!"

Bai Cang was stunned for a moment, then looked at Yu Lingxue's face and saw a smug expression on her face...

"Oh, just tell me! What can't I tell you? I want to know..."

"Okay, okay..."

Yu Lingxue waved her hand and nodded somewhat helplessly.

Then, she slowly reached out her hand.

She gently placed her hand in Bai Cang's hand.

Bai Cang's eyes widened in surprise, then he saw Yu Lingxue lower her head slightly and say in a very soft voice:

"This is what I wrote..."
