Chapter 278: Joining the Game 21
Instead, he saw Lan Hanlu frowning slightly, and the smile in her eyes deepened.
"You should get some rest. The doctor just said that you need to rest well so that your body can recover."
"You are going back, right? Will you come to see me again?" Liang Anping asked.
Lan Hanlu nodded. "Yes, it's getting late. I should go back and rest. If I have time, I will come to see you."
Lan Hanlu returned to her hotel room, put down her bag, took off her jewelry, and went straight into the bathroom with her bathrobe.
Turning on the shower head, hot steam filled the entire bathroom, and the thick mist made it impossible to see through. Only then did Lan Hanlu relax and lean against the wall.
She closed her eyes and thought about the events of the day, until she finally stopped at the look of Liang Anping leaning against her hair. Han Hanlu slowly raised the corners of her mouth and her eyes curved slightly.
After coming out, she continued to play games and fell asleep at nearly 3 a.m., and slept until 1 p.m.
After waking up, she took a shower, changed her clothes, and went to the hotel restaurant for dinner. As soon as she entered, she noticed something different. She had been to this restaurant at least three times.
The restaurant was obviously decorated today. It was gorgeous, warm and dreamy, a fantasy that every girl must go through. There was not a single diner in the restaurant.
The piano music was played leisurely, not intense, not sad, and combined with the dreamy decoration, it was very romantic.
The waiter led him around a corner and he saw a man in a silver-white suit standing with his back to him. From his hair color and figure, he could tell that it was Liang Anping.
Hearing the approaching footsteps, Liang Anping came to his senses and found himself holding a bouquet of pink roses. The small bouquet was both cute and romantic.
He handed the flowers over without saying anything. Lan Hanlu just followed his actions foolishly until a glass of red wine was placed next to her.
"You've been possessed." He said this with some caution.
The person on the other side was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly, "Why would you ask such a nice girl like you? Is it difficult for me to understand that I want to pursue you?"
Lan Hanlu's eyes widened when she heard his words. "If you have any purpose, just tell me directly. There's no need to act like this."
Liang Anping gave a wry smile and leaned back in his chair as if he was frustrated. "Was it that obvious?"
Lan Hanlu thought for a moment and shook her head. "No, it's just that with your family background, there are too many choices, and I'm not a good choice."
Hearing Lan Hanlu's answer, Liang Anping lowered his head slightly and slowly raised it, "You have seen my body. I don't have many days left to live. Last time my sister came here, she misunderstood that you are my girlfriend.
After she passed away, everyone in my family knew about it and they were all happy for me. My health was enough of a worry for them, so…”
He took a deep breath, then leaned forward, resting his elbows on the table. "Lila, can you be my girlfriend until I die? I know this is asking a lot.
But I really don’t want them to worry about me anymore, and I don’t want to die alone. I want you to accompany me on this last journey.”
"Why me?" Lan Hanlu expressed confusion.
"Maybe we just hit it off, I..." He struggled to find his words. "Apart from blood relatives, I'm most comfortable with you in all my female relationships."
Seeing Lan Hanlu's silence, he smiled in relief. "It's okay. It's normal for you to refuse. I'm a dying man and I've already let it go." His smile was fragile, and coupled with his good looks, it easily aroused the maternal instinct in women.
Lan Hanlu seemed unable to bear his behavior. "Technology and medicine are developing so rapidly. There must be a way."
He shook his head and smiled, "Then we can be considered friends. I'm very happy to have made a friend at this time."
Lan Hanlu nodded. "Of course, we've known each other for such a long time." She tried her best to make her tone cheerful.
"As a friend, can I ask you out tomorrow? You're here for a trip, so we can go shopping here together." He seemed to have skipped over what had just happened.
Lan Hanlu was a little worried about his health, but she didn't know how to say it, afraid that he would think she disliked him. She opened and closed her mouth but was interrupted by him.
"Come on, there's no need to be like this. I've had this disease since I was born and I've accepted my fate over the years, so I'm not that fragile. I also want to take a good look at this world before I die." He was smiling.
Instead, her eyes reddened. "Okay, we'll be good friends from now on. Please take me out for fun during this time."
Liang Anping was obviously very happy with Lan Hanlu's answer, and even ate a lot, but Lan Hanlu felt very depressed while eating.
The next day, Lan Hanlu did not wait for Liang Ping'an in person, but received a message from him instead.
"Laila, I'm really sorry. I might have to cancel my appointment. When I woke up this morning, my chest felt tight and I almost fainted, so I can't pick you up."
Lan Hanlu was very anxious when she saw the message and called him back immediately. The phone rang for a long time before it was picked up. It was his bodyguard.
After confirming his identity, Liang Anping picked up the phone. "Laila, I'm so sorry to disappoint you." He tried his best to cheer himself up, but his breath was obviously much weaker.
"You, don't say that. How are you? Are you still in that hospital? Can I come over to see you?" His tone was very anxious, and he sniffed after he finished speaking.
Liang Anping, on the other end, seemed calm. "Laila, don't worry, dear girl. I'm really fine. I'm a little weak, but I'm not going to die."
It's still in that hospital. If you want to come, then come. I really want to see you again." His tone, as if he was telling her his last wish, made Lan Hanlu burst into tears.
There was a hint of tears in her voice. "Don't be like this, I'll be there soon. Is there anything you want? I'll bring it to you."
He comforted her a few more times. After hanging up the phone, Lan Hanlu changed into a snow-white long dress. She didn't put on any makeup and just combed her hair with her hands. She took her bag and hurried over in the hotel car.
Her eyes were red all the way. She saw it but didn't dare to ask. She just sped up and drove to the special ward in the hospital.
The bodyguard opened the door directly when he saw her, but Lan Hanlu hesitated for a moment before stepping in, first to the living room and then to the actual ward.
The doors of the ward were all open, and Liang Anping noticed her as soon as she appeared at the door, as if she had been waiting for his arrival.
The moment he saw her, his eyes were filled with surprise, and there was a hint of life on his pale face.
He struggled to sit up. Lan Hanlu quickly took two steps and sat down beside the bed, her palm gently resting on his chest.
