My Little Poplar - Chap 104

Yu Fengcheng’s eyes lit up the moment he saw Bai Xinyu but then he saw Yan Shaozhen and Feng Dongyuan behind him and his eyes immediately dimmed.

Bai Xinyu stood frozen in the doorway for two seconds, snatched the fruit basket from Yan Shaozhen’s hand, gestured to Yu Fengcheng and said, “Well, here to see you…” He understood the purpose of the fruit basket and the flowers, probably to reduce the awkwardness a little, Feng Dongyuan was so prescient.

Yu Fengcheng frowned slightly, “Why did you bring them here.”

Feng Dongyuan scratched his head sharply, either to leave or not to leave, Yan Shaozhen was much more open, looking at Yu Fengcheng with a raised eyebrow, as if he had no intention of leaving.

Bai Xinyu sighed, he knew he couldn’t hide all the time, he whispered: “Wait for me outside for a while.”

Yan Shaozhen lowered his head and whispered in Bai Xinyu’s ear: “Don’t be fooled by him.”

Yu Fengcheng narrows his eyes.

After the two men left, Bai Xinyu closed the door and walked over with the fruit basket.

Yu Fengcheng’s eyes were fixed on him, until he sat down in front of him.

Bai Xinyu coughed softly, “Is your leg better?”

“Surgery later.” Yu Fengcheng looked at his leg and said with a calm expression, “I’ll be able to walk from now on but I’m afraid I won’t be able to do long distance cross country, or intense leg exercises, it depends on how far I can recover after the operation.”

Bai Xinyu purses his lips, “I’m sure you’ll be fine.”

Yu Fengcheng smiled, “I believe that too.”

Bai Xinyu said lightly: “I came this time…”

“You came here because my Little Uncle asked you to come you here, I know.” Yu Fengcheng reached out and gently squeezed Bai Xinyu’s earring.

Bai Xinyu was stunned and gently turned his face away.

Yu Fengcheng looked at his empty hand, his heart was aching, he whispered: “Were you like that too…”

Bai Xinyu froze and said, “What?”

“When you woke up in the hospital after your injury at Kunlun Mountain, did you want to see me at first sight, just like I wanted to see you at first sight.”

Bai Xinyu was silent. Perhaps when he first woke up, when his mind was not yet clear, he really wanted to see Yu Fengcheng but as he gradually remembered everything that had happened on Kunlun Mountain, the memories and the pain in his shoulder, reminded him over and over again and finally he became disillusioned.

“I’ve been to see you… I didn’t know what kind of look you would give me, what you would say to me, I always thought I was brave, I wasn’t afraid of anything but at that time, I was afraid to face you.” He looked deep into Bai Xinyu’s eyes and said, “A Buddhist Temple Abbot used to say, sooner or later I would meet someone who could control me, until I met you, I never believed in that.”

Bai Xinyu wanted to change the subject, he looked at his watch and said, “You’re going to have surgery soon, are you ready.?

Yu Fengcheng gently pinched his chin and broke his face back, so that he was facing him, “I know why you didn’t come to see me, were you afraid I’d take advantage of the situation and ask you to make up with me? I’d like to but it’s too cowardly to do that, even if you did agree, it’s not what I want, what I want, is for you to genuinely want to start over with me.”
