In the end, Le Tong didn't succeed in leaving the ward. She thought it was all because Ji Rui had a face that looked just like Baobao's.
That kind of face with a pitiful expression always reminded her of Baobao.
And thus, she couldn't harden her heart whatsoever.
Ji Rui could only eat some liquid food temporarily, so as Le Tong ate the soup dumplings delivered by Xiao Li, he could only lie in bed, utterly bored, staring at Le Tong, lost in thought.
Le Tong was quite annoyed at herself for being unable to harden her heart against Ji Rui. Hence, while eating the juice-filled, delicious dumplings in front of him, she felt a subtle sense of revenge.
Le Tong focused on eating, savoring each bite, while Ji Rui's two burning eyes remained fixed on her.
"Le Tong…"
After Le Tong finished most of the dumplings, the silent Ji Rui finally couldn't help but speak.
"Hmm?!" Le Tong looked up at him, with half a dumpling just stuffed in her mouth, her pouting cheeks looking amusing and cute.
