Meng Xi'er slowly walked in, looking at Lu Yebai's back. He was wearing a blue and white hospital gown, his hair was a bit longer than she remembered, just long enough to shield his face. As she approached to see him, Lu Yebai stopped her softly, "Don't come any closer!"
Meng Xi'er stopped in her tracks, standing not far off and observing him.
"Leave!"
"Who told you to come in?"
"I don't want to see you right now!"
Meng Xi'er kept silent, watching him. After a moment, she spoke up quietly, "I don't want to leave. I came here on my own. I've missed you, Lu Yebai."
Lu Yebai's back stiffened even more. He seemed to be in disbelief, wanting to turn around and look at Meng Xi'er, but not daring to do so.
Tears welled up in Meng Xi'er's eyes. She slowly moved towards him, climbed onto the bed, and rested her forehead on his shoulder.
