Chapter 539: Chapter 539: Admitting Mistake
Lin Yu was stunned for a moment, then immediately shook his head and bitterly smiled, "How could I still harbor any thoughts? The gap between Xiaowan and me is growing larger. If I don’t work harder, I might not even qualify to be her friend."
"Xiaowan isn’t that kind of person—she wouldn’t stop being your friend just because you’re not strong. If she’s been distancing herself from you, it must be because you..."
Lin Yu sighed softly, "I know, it’s all my fault."
Sheng An, "I hope you really understand."
From a distance, Sheng An saw Zhuo Yun’s beautiful white wings. Now, people on Landis Star didn’t have any special requirements preventing them from showing their beast-transformed parts, which, to some extent, gave everyone a lot of freedom.
Moreover, some regulations at the Beastman Breeding Center had been improved as well.
Watching Sheng An walk briskly towards Zhuo Yun, Lin Yu couldn’t help feeling a bit envious. He thought about Chen Nuan, who had been ignoring him for a long time, and sighed softly.
Lin Yu boarded the aircraft, originally planning to return to his apartment, but somehow, he found himself at Chen Nuan’s apartment door.
For the past few days, he had been sending Chen Nuan messages, but she hadn’t replied. After some thought, he decided to call her directly on her brain-com.
Lin Yu was surprised when the brain-com call connected, but the voice that came through was not Chen Nuan’s, but her mother’s.
"Are you Lieutenant Lin? Our Xiaowan has been sick these past few days; she just fell asleep. Do you have something urgent to discuss with her?"
Lin Yu was startled, "What’s wrong with her? Has she not gone to the medical center for a check-up?"
"This stubborn girl won’t go. She doesn’t say anything, and we’re all extremely worried about her."
"Auntie, could you open the door, please? I happen to be right outside."
"Oh, oh, alright."
Chen Nuan heard her mother’s voice and opened her eyes, whispering, "Mom, what are you doing? Don’t go through my brain-com."
Chen’s mother, "Lieutenant Lin is trying to contact you, and you’re not even answering. He’s about to come in; I’ll go out and welcome him."
Chen Nuan hadn’t been able to eat or sleep well for the past few days, feeling hazy. She had finally managed to get a bit drowsy and was dozing off when she felt her mother might have answered her brain-com call, prompting her to open her eyes and ask.
She had set no password for her brain-com with her parents.
However, upon hearing it was Lin Yu who had come, she suddenly sat up straight.
Because she sat up too quickly, her brain lacked oxygen, and the next moment, everything went black as she fainted!
The moment she lost consciousness, Chen Nuan thought sadly that her disheveled and listless appearance was about to be seen by Lin Yu. He would like her even less now...
Plus, she hadn’t put on makeup, and actually, she didn’t resemble Su Wan that much at the moment...
As soon as Lin Yu entered, he saw Chen Nuan had fainted. He didn’t hesitate to pick her up and rush outside, carrying her onto the aircraft and heading straight for the medical center.
After she was taken to the emergency room, a doctor soon came out and said Chen Nuan had fainted from hunger, her body was too weak, and he immediately administered a nutrient injection.
"It’s not serious. The girl just isn’t eating properly. Are you a family member? You should talk to her more when you get back."
At that time, not every family could afford fried dishes, but nutrient solutions were affordable. This child must not have been eating well, resulting in malnutrition.
The older doctor, looking at Chen Nuan who appeared to be about the same age as his daughter, sighed and said, "What’s on her mind that she’s not eating?"
Lin Yu felt his face burning hot.
It was he who had hurt Chen Nuan deeply.
Because that day, Chen Nuan had said—saying she didn’t mind being a substitute, just wanting to stay by his side—but she was still cruelly rejected by Lin Yu.
Lin Yu waited a while, until Chen Nuan’s parents arrived, and then he left first.
After returning to his place, Lin Yu sat silently on the sofa for a long time with his eyes closed, all he could see was Chen Nuan’s past efforts to please him.
And what was strange was that the image of Su Wan in his mind slowly began to fade away.
Suddenly, Lin Yu stood up, pulled out his light brain, and dialed Su Wan’s light brain.
Su Wan had just walked out of the Su Family’s restaurant. She had just held a meeting with the manager and others. Since moving to Landis Star, although they had to start from scratch, business at the Su Family restaurant had been booming.
It’s worth mentioning that Su Ni and Cecilia are now dedicating all their energy to the Su Family’s restaurant and are no longer in the entertainment industry.
As for Su Ni, he occasionally does something silly because his EQ isn’t quite there, but now that he has become a father, he seems to be a bit more reliable than before.
A tiny bit.
As soon as she got onto the flying vehicle, Vermilion Bird reported, "Master, Lin Yu is calling you. Do you want to accept?"
Vermilion Bird might not understand the emotional entanglements between Lin Yu and Su Wan, as this realm was more of White Tiger’s expertise.
But Vermilion Bird knew that their master did not like Lin Yu now, so it should intercept the communication.
Su Wan looked at Lin Yu’s blinking name on the screen and said, "Connect it."
"Yes."
After the communication was connected, Su Wan did not rush to speak. Lin Yu felt a bit anxious, but still began to speak, "Xiaowan, do you know what kind of food is suitable for a sick person who hasn’t eaten for several days?"
Su Wan: "Porridge. If you need it, I can send you some of my previous videos."
Lin Yu: "Okay, then please send them to me."
Su Wan: "Alright."
Lin Yu: "Also, Xiaowan, I’m sorry. I’m just a fool. It was only when I was about to lose Chen Nuan that I realized she actually occupies a very important place in my heart."
Su Wan: "Oh, I wish you happiness in the future."
Lin Yu gave a bitter smile, "I still don’t know if I can win her back, but okay, send me those videos. I’ll make it quickly and then go to the hospital to see her."
"She’s been hospitalized? Is she alright?"
"Nothing serious, it’s just... my fault."
Su Wan did not ask further. She said goodbye and then asked Vermilion Bird to pack up some of her previous live-streamed videos of making porridge and other bland diets and sent them to Lin Yu.
Even though he could feel Su Wan’s indifference, Lin Yu was still grateful; at the very least, she was willing to speak with him.
After receiving those videos, Lin Yu immediately bought the ingredients online and started cooking at home.
If it had been someone without any talent for cooking, no matter how they tried, the taste of the food they made wouldn’t be quite right.
After failing several times, Lin Yu suddenly covered his face.
So cooking was this difficult, and for Chen Nuan, who started from scratch to imitate Su Wan and learn to cook all sorts of dishes, it must have been... hard?
Meanwhile, Chen Nuan, who was at the medical center, finally woke up after several hours of deep sleep.
Because she had been given nutritional fluids, her complexion was no longer so pale.
On this end, Chen Nuan’s mother, seeing her daughter awake, said, "Ah, Xiaonuan, do you want to eat something now?"
As she spoke, she brought over a thermos bowl of porridge that was sitting nearby.
