0 + 5 = ? Chapter 26 Steal Your Love

  If love can be given in installments. I want to steal it from you bit by bit, until I fully occupy it.

  Time flies by in the busy days of Ji Huan Ning's work and Lin Jing Lan's studies. Originally, he only returned home once a week, but now he rushes back home whenever he has a spare moment. And as long as he returns home, no matter how late it is, she will specially prepare one or two small dishes for him, just as she promised to Lin Auntie.

  That day, Lin Jinglan met Jiang Yun on his way home, accompanied by Su Shan, who was now occupying Huaining Xiao Wo. After chatting for a while, Jiang Yun asked him to persuade Huaining to return home as soon as possible.

  The daughter is in this city but does not want to be with her, she feels extremely guilty and lost. But Tongtong's son also has a point: "If she goes back, where will her position be?"

  She wanted to say let her and Susan live together. But the two didn't get along, not to mention that such compromise was unfair to both children. In addition to marriage, she had a few more compromises and tolerances, knowing that her daughter did so, partly to satisfy herself. This child, who has been overly sensible since childhood, is actually worrying.

  Just like when she was four years old, she came back from a narrow escape, so scared that she even forgot to cry.

  "Quiet blue, Hua Ning is afraid of darkness, if there's anything, you can wait a bit longer, I'm really troubling you."

  Lin Jinglan found Jiang Yun's sudden entrustment a bit strange, but still agreed to it in one breath. Finally, Jiang Yun suddenly thought of something and smiled:

  "On the other hand, I'm a bit relieved. Although Hua Ning is away from home, at least she has you to take care of her. In the company, there's also Mr. Wang..."

  "Mr. Wang?"

  "Yes, it seems like he's her superior. That time she overworked and fainted at the company, he was the one who sent Huanning to me. This guy is not bad, and he's even a fake foreigner."

  Lin Jinglan's heart was turbulent. When did Hua Ning ever faint? She herself didn't even know! Every time she came back, she only saw her busy cooking and going to work, but didn't think that she had already reached her limit! After saying a few more words, Jiang Yun took Su Shan away. The girl didn't say a word from start to finish, just staring at Lin Jinglan with bright eyes.

  ***?

  Lin Jinglan had intended to ask her why she hadn't told him about fainting, but when he returned home, he saw that she was lying asleep on the sofa.

  The TV was turned up loud, and on the table were still warm dishes of food. She sat quietly with her eyes closed, her features soft and beautiful.

  He really didn't want to disturb her beautiful sleep, but if he didn't eat his stomach would be ruined. He gently shook her arm: "Hua Ning, Hua Ning... I'm back, let's eat."

  "Hmm...huh?" Ji Huaning felt dizzy and the fluorescent light was piercing her eyes. "Xiao Lan? I...I'm dizzy..."

  Her face was flushed, her eyes half-closed, and she murmured weakly. Lin Jinglan thought it wasn't good and placed a hand on her forehead -

  As expected, it's really scary.

  He picked her up from the waist and prepared to carry her: "Hua Ning, you have a fever, we need to go to the hospital."

  Ji Huaning suddenly seemed to wake up and struggled desperately: "No, don't go to the hospital! Don't go to the hospital!"

  The voice is as spoiled as a few-year-old child.

  Lin Jinglan couldn't dissuade her, so he had no choice but to carry her into the room - this was originally his room, after she came, he moved to the original parents' room.

  She lay flat on the bed covered with white down feathers, surrounded by fluff, she looked like a cute little animal. Lin Jinglan rubbed her face with a towel, she was dazed and occasionally muttered a few nonsense words.

  The cool towel was applied to her face, and the tightly furrowed eyebrows slowly relaxed. Her black hair cascaded down the pillow like a waterfall, with a sickly flush on her cheeks; her small mouth pouted, and her eyelashes trembled slightly. Lin Jinglan wiped and wiped, her movements becoming slower and slower, her gaze fixed on her face.

  She, who was ill, looked like a delicate little girl. She had shed her usual smiling disguise and closed off the deep-seated emotional wounds, looking as pure and natural as a newborn baby. He slowly approached her, feeling her hot breath brush against his face, accompanied by the faint scent of jasmine.

  It was as if all thinking had stopped, only this moment existed. He gently kissed her soft lips, carefully, like his own deeply hidden emotions. Nineteen years had passed. From birth, she had been by his side, intimate and inseparable, but as they grew older, she gradually developed her own world. It was a world he couldn't enter, her forbidden zone, where he could only silently wait outside the door, waiting for the day when she would gently open it.

  "Hmm..." Ji Huaning's unconscious muttering pulled his soul back from the depths. He suddenly stood up, frozen in place. For a moment, he carefully looked at the person on the bed - fortunately, she was still asleep.

  After a while, he finally loosened his tightly clenched towel. He closed his eyes and let the flush on his face fade away, and his clear starry eyes returned to their usual calmness. He ate the meal she had left behind and tried to cook a porridge that was both burnt and mushy, calling out to her to take her medicine.

  For three days in a row, he took time off to take care of Ji Huaning at home. And under his clumsy cooking and meticulous care, she quickly recovered. Just as she was able to get out of bed and move around, the face of a handsome young man revealed a pale complexion: he had been infected.

  One wave has not yet subsided, another wave rises, Ji Hua Ning can't help but take care of Lin Jinglan in turn. Just at this time, two lovely guests arrived at home: Niha and Jack.

  "Hey! How did you know I lived here?" Ji Huaning opened the door and saw her good friend, feeling both happy and surprised.

  "Last time you forwarded me the documents, there was an address written on it, careless girl." She gave her a big bear hug, "I heard you were sick, but you look fine?"

  Ji Huaning's smile, tinged with a hint of illness, looked somewhat tired: "I'm almost recovered. Come in quickly and sit down, I'll make you some Chinese tea, the kind you like."

  The two of them happily drank their favorite Bi Luo Chun tea, and Jack was also very interested in studying the purple clay teapot used to brew it.

  "By the way, who told you I was sick? Chri?"

  "Who else but him. He originally wanted to come with us, but something urgent came up at the last minute and said he could only do it next time." Niha remembered the hesitant look in his eyes when he left, wondering what was bothering him. "He said you fainted from overwork last time. You can't keep going like this, work is important, but health is more important."

  "After following you, how did you become so domineering?" Ji Hua Ning teased him.

  Jack misunderstood her housekeeper as "garrulous woman", and solemnly wrapped Ni Ha: "She is not garrulous, she is the best!"

  "Hahaha..." Ji Huaning burst out laughing, Ni Ha blushed and angrily pounded on this guy who always couldn't understand the situation, truly lovable in his loyalty.

  "......Hua Ning, is there a guest?"

  The door to the right of the living room creaked open, and a boy in white rubbed his sleepy eyes at the entrance. His soft black hair was slightly disheveled, and his pale face had eyes like black jade and lips like peonies. Every move he made exuded a lazy charm. The sunlight behind him was warm and gentle, making him seem like a warm and radiant jade that caught people's attention.

  "Pretty boy!" Ni Ha exclaimed in a low voice, "Queenie, how did you hide such a handsome young man at home?"

  Ji Huaning got up and walked towards him: "You've only slept for two hours, how can you get up already? Go back to sleep."

  He smiled sweetly at her, with two deep dimples: "Had a good sleep? Come out for a walk. Are you expecting any friends?"

  Two people came and went, completely unaware that the two guests next to them had been staring for a long time. Under the soft sunlight, the two people were equally elegant and beautiful, slender and clear, standing together in perfect harmony, making it hard for others to ignore.

  Ji Huaning introduced Lin Jinglan and two good friends to each other. Although everyone had met before, they were all drunk at the time and didn't remember clearly. Niha pulled her aside and said mysteriously: "Queenie, you said you and him... cohabitate? He's still a student, right?"

  "Living together?" Ji Huaning shook his head, "Can only be counted as living together..." Landlord and tenant? Brother and sister? Or nanny and young master?

  "My goodness! No wonder they say you're a sight to behold, Chris with that stinky face. Queenie, you really are something!"

  Xiao Lan: Everyone, sisters, give me a vote, okay? That way, our leader can be a good mother to us!

  Xiao Ning: Everyone, please leave a message~ The old conference will be updated more!!??

  Hehe.
