The next Sunday, Tang Yujin was discharged and Han Sheng Ming and Mo Yuan came to take him home.
"How are you feeling today?" Han Sheng Ming asked his friend.
Tang Yujin replied with a soft smile, "I'm feeling refreshed. It's hard to stay in a bed for two months."
"At least you are all better now. Can you exercise?" Mo Yuan inquired.
"The doctor said not to make any harsh moves for a month. He also told me to take it easy," Tang Yujin responded.
"Yujin," a girl came to meet him. She was wearing a sky blue dress and she was holding a bouquet of white roses. Her dirty blonde hair blew in the spring breeze.
"Ling, you didn't have to come. You just had your operation a week ago." Tang Yujin gently reminded her.
Ling Brown responded with a sweet smile, "You are being discharged today. Of course, I had to come to bid you farewell." She handed the bouquet and said, "This is for you."
"Thank you," Tang Yujin took a bouquet.
"See you around," she said while looking at him.
"I'll come and visit you whenever I can," Tang Yujin promised.
"Sure, I would love to have your company." She looked behind him and saw two boys. She asked, "Are they your friends?"
Tang Yujin introduced them, "Yes, they are Han Sheng Ming and Mo Yuan. They are my childhood friends. And, this is Ling Brown."
"Hello, nice to meet you, Ling. I didn't know my bestie had a girlfriend in the hospital. It looks like he wanted to hide you from us. I'm happy to finally meet you," Han Sheng Ming blabbered and joyfully shook hands with her.
He didn't care how Tang Yujin was able to get a girl for himself but he was happy as long as his best friend's eyes didn't focus on his cute little sister.
Ling Brown didn't know how to react. Her face was slightly red as she lowered her eyes. "Nice to meet you. I heard so many things about you."
She added without much of an expression, "And I'm not going out with your friend." She thought of Tang Yujin as a good friend to hang around with.
Han Sheng Ming lamented, "How can that be? You are so close to Xiao Yujin and so pretty. You guys spent time together. I think you two are great together."
"Don't tease her," Tang Yujin took Ling Brown's side.
"I'm not teasing her. You guys are really good with each other. Xiao Yuan, you think so too, right?" Han Sheng Ming nudged Mo Yuan.
As long as Tang Yujin didn't think about Han Luo, it was fine for Han Sheng Ming. He was with Ling Brown for the time being and forgot about Han Luo.
If she could distract him for so long, it would be better for them to get together. That way, he would stay away from Han Luo.
Ever since his father brought the topic of the marriage proposal, he became weary of his own friend.
Maybe Mo Yuan could sense his worry, he quietly nodded.
"You must be Yuan who doesn't like to talk to other girls," Ling Brown spoke to Mo Yuan.
Mo Yuan frowned and looked displeased. He didn't like other girls uttering his name so intimately.
Ling Brown froze under his cold glare. She meant no harm. She apologized quickly, "I'm sorry if I displeased you in any way. It wasn't my intention."
"Just don't call him by his name," Tang Yujin pointed out the problem.
"Oh, I see, I'm sorry…" Ling Brown apologized again.
Han Sheng Ming interfered and said, "Only my cute little sister can call him by his name. That's why, be careful in the future."
Ling Brown's eyes sparkled. "Oh, you have a sister! Wonderful! Can I meet her?" She had a soft corner for children and animals.
"Sure, bring Xiao Yujin with you too," Han Sheng Ming agreed instantly.
If Han Luo found out that Tang Yujin had a girl for himself, she would never want to marry him in the future.
"I'll be going then or my nurse will worry," Ling Brown told them. She stared at Tang Yujin and said, "Don't forget to visit me whenever you are free."
"Sure," Tang Yujin promised.
They got inside the car and Tang Yujin smiled chillingly at Han Sheng Ming, "Sheng Ming, what was that?"
Tang Yujin usually called him Xiao Ming but he was extremely angry right now and he didn't express it in front of an outsider.
Han Sheng Ming shuddered and then tried to laugh to ease the atmosphere. "What was what, Xiao Yujin? You guys had good times together yes? I thought you got chemistry."
Tang Yujin stared at him and questioned, "And, what exactly you understand about chemistry, Xiao Ming?" His eyes were clearly not smiling.
Han Sheng Ming flinched. He looked at Mo Yuan for help.
'For the sake of the future, I should help him. He will be my brother-in-law after all," pondering for a while Mo Yuan changed the subject, "We have prepared extra lecture sheets for you. You will find them on your desk."
Tang Yujin said, "I appreciate the hard work."
Han Sheng Ming signed in relief.
Tang Yujin hesitated before asking, "…Little Luo… she didn't come to get me. Is she mad at me?" He lowered his head and smiled bitterly.
Han Sheng Ming nodded. He spoke mercilessly without hesitation, "I understand your sadness but she said that she got tired of her big brother Yujin. She also said that she didn't need a brother who wanted her as his wife."
"Did she really say that?" Tang Yujin seemed hurt. If he looked at his best friend properly, he could have noticed that Han Sheng Ming lied.
There was no way Han Luo would say such a thing.
Mo Yuan stayed silent. He also wanted Tang Yujin to believe in Han Sheng Ming's lie.
Han Sheng Ming patted his friend's back in condolence, "I understand that you are hurt but she was hurt too. She is a child. Give her some quiet time. She will get over with it soon.. For now, avoid talking to her."
