Chapter 618 My People
Qingtian's attention was always on the hand that Zhiyuan was holding.
Zhiyuan's hands were long and fair, which matched Qingtian's imagination of a surgeon's hands. She even wondered what those hands would look like when they held a scalpel.
When you like someone, you can even find their fingernails beautiful...
But then look at her hands...
Having grown up by the sea, she has a naturally dark complexion, and when they hold hands, she is the one with an even darker and rougher complexion.
"The popsicle has melted, why aren't you eating it? What are you spacing out for?" Zhiyuan said, looking at her, seemingly forgetting that he was still holding her hand.
"Oh, I forgot." She looked down, put the popsicle in her mouth, and the cool, sweet taste instantly filled her mouth.
"Qingtian, I'm sorry, I've wronged you." Zhiyuan thought she was sad because she was ridiculed. "I shouldn't have left your side."
Qingtian shook her head. What did it have to do with him that she was being mocked?
"Zhiyuan, you really didn't need to say that just now." Wouldn't people think he was unsophisticated if he said that? But she knew he wasn't unsophisticated at all. She had known that since she was little.
Even as a child, she knew that Zhiyuan's family was different from hers. His father was in the army, Aunt Lin was a businesswoman, while her family were just ordinary fishermen. Her mother said that was the difference between heaven and earth.
"To be honest, it really is my fault. You're my girlfriend, and I haven't even bought you many clothes. It's really my fault," Zhiyuan said.
"That's not what I meant." Qingtian panicked immediately. What did she mean? How could she ask him to buy clothes?! "I meant, you're devaluing yourself! Will they laugh at you?"
“What do you mean by status? I was just a wild boy who rolled around in the mud. Before I met my parents, I never had enough to eat or wear. If my parents hadn’t adopted me and raised me, I would be worse off than you. As for the jokes…” Zhiyuan looked at her and said, “I don’t care. I know what kind of person I am. I can’t be judged by a few jokes from others. The same goes for you, Qingtian. I know what kind of person you are.”
“Zhiyuan…” Qingtian was a little touched.
Zhiyuan laughed, "Besides, as a boyfriend, isn't it my duty to protect my girlfriend?"
Sunny was stunned.
"Alright!" Zhiyuan tugged at her ponytail and laughed, "Just kidding, it's only right for an older brother to protect his younger sister."
"What brother? You're not that much older than me! We're only a year apart," Qingtian muttered, her eyes welling up with tears.
“Da Yitian is still my older brother!” Zhiyuan said. “Do you remember when we were kids I told those thugs that you were mine, and I’d protect you from now on? That ‘from now on’ means indefinitely, right? So, my word is still valid!”
How could she not remember?
But Zhiyuan, please don't be too good to me, I'm afraid I won't be able to let go later...
After that day, the whole hospital was abuzz with the news that Li Zhiyuan had a girlfriend he doted on, so much so that he argued with the hospital director's daughter, who had only been discussing clothes with his girlfriend...
Zhiyuan's friends at the hospital were worried about him and privately reminded him: Wan Xuening is not someone to be trifled with. Everyone fawns over her and treats her like the hospital's little princess. You'd better be careful.
Zhiyuan didn't mind, but he still thanked his friend for his kindness.
