"But, can you give me one last chance? Just this once, I won't disappoint you again and won't make you exhausted. I only want to treat you well, spoil you, and pamper you."
"Seven years ago, I was immature and thought you weren't independent enough. But now, I just want to spoil you back to the way you were before. You don't need to be so strong, you don't need to be so independent. You can rely on me, be confident, and even be willful. I just need one chance, Tong Tong, just one. I won't make the same mistakes again."
"I won't let you be hurt again, and I won't let you go through that once more. You don't need to forgive me a second time, because I won't give myself that chance," Fu Yinxiu said. "If you have to forgive me a second time, then I'm a fool and deserve to be rejected."
"Tong Tong, give me a chance to correct my past mistakes, okay? Let me show you that I love you."
"Girl, you should forgive him. He sounds so pitiful," a middle-aged man's voice suddenly came from behind the curtain beside Fu Yinxiu's bed.
Ming Yutong was startled. There was someone behind that curtain?
She had been so focused on Fu Yinxiu when she entered and had not even noticed the curtain, let alone the person behind it.
The man pulled aside the curtain and came out. He was the one who had crashed into Fu Yinxiu's car from behind during the accident.
He was quite unlucky himself. Fu Yinxiu had suddenly braked hard in front of him, and he didn't even have time to stop, resulting in him crashing into Fu Yinxiu's car and damaging the front of his vehicle.
The rear of his car was also wrecked due to a chain reaction of collisions, and he had hit his head on the steering wheel.
But his injuries were not as severe as Fu Yinxiu's.
Initially, the man had been very angry with Fu Yinxiu, but as the doctors were treating his injuries, he didn't dare to directly curse Fu Yinxiu out.
When Ming Yutong arrived and he heard Fu Yinxiu's and Ming Yutong's conversation, it became clear that Fu Yinxiu was troubled by his feelings.
The sudden hard braking was caused by a phone call from the girl.
Though the accident was quite unfair for him, hearing their conversation made him less angry.
He couldn't help but speak up.
Seeing Ming Yutong's flushed face, the man also felt somewhat embarrassed.
"I just couldn't hold it in, and scared you, huh?" The man said with an awkward smile.
Ming Yutong couldn't help but glance at Fu Yinxiu. Wasn't he always demanding VIP treatment wherever he went?
So, she had always assumed that this was a single-occupancy room.
Fu Yinxiu looked innocent. He just needed emergency care and didn't need to stay in the hospital.
He was thinking of finishing up quickly and finding Ming Yutong, and he didn't care about the type of room.
"Girl, since he sounds so pitiful, why not give him another chance? You don't know how frightening the accident was," the man said. "I don't know what you said on the phone, but he was on the road, driving so fast. The cars behind were close, and he braked suddenly."
"I still remember the screeching sound of the brakes, 'Screech——'. It was very piercing. Even if I hadn't crashed into him, he would have ended up crashing into a tree," the man said.
"Although this situation is dangerous and should not be encouraged, it does show that he truly cares about you. Even one phone call can have such an impact on him. Although I'm a man myself, I must say that it's rare to find a man who would act like this nowadays," the middle-aged man said with a clear B-city accent. Even serious words sounded quite casual coming from him.
Ming Yutong began to suspect that this man was a plant hired by Fu Yinxiu.
Fu Yinxiu rarely smiled at the man, "Thank you."
"No problem," the man said, waving his hand casually.
Feeling embarrassed, Ming Yutong quickly turned and left the hospital room.
Seeing this, Fu Yinxiu hurriedly followed.
"Tong Tong!" Fu Yinxiu called out as he caught up.
Doctors, nurses, and patients passing in the corridor all looked over.
Perhaps they found it a bit awkward to hear the term "Tong Tong" coming from a man who looked mature and composed.
Ming Yutong lowered her voice and said, "I told you not to call me that!"
"My car was hit and has already been towed away," Fu Yinxiu said, completely ignoring Ming Yutong's words. "Can you give me a ride?"
Ming Yutong pressed her lips together and said nothing.
"Tong Tong?" Fu Yinxiu stubbornly called her again.
"Stop calling me that!" Ming Yutong said in frustration. "Just come along."
Fu Yinxiu immediately relaxed, grinned widely, and quickly followed Ming Yutong.
Ming Yutong drove Fu Yinxiu to the entrance of "Xiuqi." Fu Yinxiu unfastened his seatbelt but didn't get out of the car.
Ming Yutong glanced at him, "Get out."
Fu Yinxiu didn't move. Instead, he reached out to take Ming Yutong's hand, "Tong Tong, give me one more chance, okay?"
"Get out of the car first," Ming Yutong said irritably.
"If you promise me, I'll get out," Fu Yinxiu said.
"Fu Yinxiu!" Ming Yutong exclaimed in disbelief. "You're being unreasonable!"
Fu Yinxiu suddenly laughed. He hadn't really expected Ming Yutong to agree to him just because of his little act of stubbornness.
However, Ming Yutong's attitude had clearly changed.
Fu Yinxiu was already very happy with this change.
He suddenly tightened his grip slightly, and Ming Yutong, caught off guard, was pulled into his embrace.
Fu Yinxiu wasn't going to miss this opportunity. He lowered his head and found Ming Yutong's lips, kissing her.
He originally didn't want to kiss too deeply, fearing that Ming Yutong might get angry if he pushed too hard after she had finally shown some goodwill.
