I insist

Chapter 157: Explanation

Yu Huailin was utterly speechless at Qiu Tianlei. Holding the pillow that Song Miqiu had just thrown at him, he asked, "Is there anything else you don't know?"

"This..." Qiu Tianlei smiled awkwardly.

Yu Huailin sighed helplessly and stopped making things difficult for Qiu Tianlei.

Qiu Tianlei has been married for quite some time now, and Song Miqiu wasn't his real mother, so it's normal that he didn't know.

He returned to the front of the house, where Yu Huailin stood straight with his back straight. He felt that Song Miqiu's sudden change of heart was related to him.

But he couldn't figure out the reason at all, so he could only stand there dumbfounded.

Song Miqiu wouldn't let him into the room, and Yu Huailin didn't dare to go in either, lest he further displease Song Miqiu, which would be a loss for him.

He sat by the door, hugging the pillow to his chest, letting the breeze blow his hair. Yu Huailin looked up at the sky and gazed at the bright moon.

Until the surroundings became shrouded in mist, a rooster crowed, and the environment was no longer pitch black.

Yu Huailin sighed countless times. He sat at the door of the room, racking his brains all night, but still couldn't figure out why the other person was angry.

"Well--"

Song Miqiu opened her sleepy eyes, yawned with her hand to her mouth, stretched, and then got out of bed to put on her embroidered shoes.

She strode to the door, and as soon as she opened it, she looked down and saw a person sitting on the steps.

Hearing the door open, the person turned around, looked at Song Miqiu with great surprise, and stood up, "You're finally awake!"

Song Miqiu stared blankly into Yu Huailin's eyes, noticing the heavy dark circles under his handsome eyes. From a distance, one might think Yu Huailin had been beaten up.

Thinking of this, Song Miqiu smiled, her hand loosely clenched into a fist, and she chuckled softly in front of her lips.

But when Song Miqiu looked up, she saw Yu Huailin's unkempt hair and stubble, and the weariness in his eyes. It was clear that he hadn't had a good day yesterday.

She fell silent, then asked in a low voice, "Did you sit here all night yesterday?"

She had only opened the door, but the other party reacted quickly. Coupled with the dark circles under his eyes, Song Miqiu realized that Yu Huailin hadn't slept all night.

Thinking about what made her angry yesterday, she realized that she had been unreasonable.

"Yes, I looked up at the moon and thought about what to do tomorrow, and that's how I spent the night."

Yu Huailin spoke casually, shrugging his shoulders and chuckling.

This deepened Song Miqiu's sense of guilt. She bit her lower lip hard and remained silent for a moment before saying, "You should stay home and rest today."

Just as she was about to bypass Yu Huailin and go work at the medical school, Song Miqiu paused and decided to say a few words, "If you ever want to do any more disguises in the future, just tell me, and I'll do it for you..."

Song Miqiu gritted her teeth, "What you made is too ugly. No girl would like something so ugly."

Upon hearing this, Yu Huailin looked at Song Miqiu in surprise.

He suddenly remembered that when he was talking to someone yesterday, he seemed to see someone sneaking around watching him out of the corner of his eye, but he didn't notice the person following him, so he didn't think much of it.

Now it seems that the person he thought was acting suspiciously was actually Song Miqiu!

Yu Huailin suddenly realized that Song Miqiu must have seen through his identity.

He recalled how the other party had made a scene yesterday. Seeing that scene made Yu Huailin anxious. He quickly bent down and took Song Miqiu's hand, wanting to explain to her, "Please listen to me. Things are not as you imagine."

"What do I imagine it to be like?" Song Miqiu looked over impatiently.

Just as Yu Huailin was about to explain, Song Miqiu interrupted him. She broke free from Yu Huailin's grasp, looked up and stared directly at him, saying, "This matter has nothing to do with me, and you don't need to explain to me."

It doesn't matter?

Yu Huailin's heart tightened, and he became even more flustered.

When Song Miqiu said that, wasn't he just trying to distance himself from any concern for her?

He was eager to explain, but the other person strode away first, presumably not wanting to hear his explanation.

Watching Song Miqiu's departing figure, Yu Huailin hung his head in despair.

He sat down on the steps again, put his hands behind his head, and couldn't help but scratch it.

Yu Huailin thought about the matter carefully, but he quickly came to a conclusion: Song Miqiu was jealous. She saw him chatting with a woman, and perhaps he was too engrossed in the conversation, so she perceived it as intimacy.

The reason Song Miqiu thought this way was entirely because she liked him.

Thinking of this, Yu Huailin's dejected mood instantly returned to his fighting spirit. His eyes brightened, and he clenched his fists tightly on his lap.

Women are naturally more temperamental. When Song Miqiu comes back, I'll coax her a bit, and she definitely won't be angry with me anymore.

Yu Huailin's fighting spirit was instantly restored. Instead of sitting on the steps, he hugged the warm pillow in his arms and walked into the house.

He lay down on the bed, pressing his head against the blankets, and smelled the faint floral fragrance emanating from them. Yu Huailin knew that it was Song Miqiu's scent.

He closed his eyes and lay there peacefully, a slight smile playing on his lips, perhaps thinking of the scene when he would explain things to Song Miqiu after she returned.

Song Miqiu stood at the entrance of the Imperial Hospital, looking up at the plaque of the Imperial Hospital, but her mind was full of thoughts about Yu Huailin.

She recalled seeing the other person's dark circles when she woke up that morning, and the scene of the other person hurriedly trying to explain to her before she left.

Song Miqiu bit her lower lip and couldn't help but wonder if the woman she saw back then was just a misunderstanding.

Just as she was about to think about it, a royal physician greeted her. Song Miqiu shook her head slightly, trying to put these things out of her mind.

"You've arrived early today," Song Miqiu said with a light laugh.

The imperial physician smiled broadly. "Indeed, as soon as I heard there was good news, I came early."

"Good thing?"

Song Miqiu exclaimed in surprise, covering her mouth, but her body honestly leaned towards the imperial physician.

There's plenty of gossip going on in the Imperial Hospital. She heard a lot of gossip about the hospital when she was there, but very few people would share it with her.

"I'm not quite sure either. Like you, I just got here."

Seeing this, Song Miqiu gave a dry laugh and nodded. She and the imperial physician went inside and found a group of imperial physicians gathered there.

The two exchanged a glance and ran over to check. Song Miqiu squeezed into the crowd and saw that someone had already carried the person away on a carrying pole.

She frowned as she looked at the load, full of curiosity.
