Su Qingya, suppressing the urge to look at Lin Feng, could only wait by the door for news of his awakening.
"Su Qingya, my sister Yaoyao wants you to go in. She has something to tell you," Luo Keke said, pushing the door open and beckoning her.
"Oh, thank you then!" Su Qingya replied softly before daring to enter Liu Mengyao's room.
Upon entering, Su Qingya's gaze immediately fell upon Lin Feng lying on the bed. Seeing that he was still unconscious, her heart tightened.
"Sit down," Liu Mengyao said, pulling a chair over for Su Qingya and pouring her a cup of warm water.
"Classmate Su Qingya, you don't need to stand guard outside. It's getting cold, and if you catch a cold, Lin Feng will be very worried," Liu Mengyao said with a smile, handing the warm water to Su Qingya.
"Miss Liu, thank you for your concern. I won't catch a cold. I'm, I'm very strong!" Su Qingya said, feeling a bit awkward facing Liu Mengyao alone. She seemed too nervous and blurted out that she was strong.
Liu Mengyao didn't know what to say upon hearing Su Qingya describe herself that way. But she could see that Su Qingya was truly too pure.
"Classmate Su Qingya, don't be so nervous. I asked you to come here to talk about Lin Feng." Liu Mengyao sat opposite Su Qingya, trying her best to appear approachable.
"Miss Liu, please speak, I'm listening." Su Qingya clutched the warm water cup, appearing rather flustered.
"I know you and Lin Feng are in the midst of a passionate romance. You like him very much, and he likes you very much," Liu Mengyao began with a self-deprecating smile. "As for me, I used to just treat Lin Feng as a shield. I even disliked his little quirks and never thought about getting involved with him." She then gazed at Lin Feng on the sickbed, her eyes flashing with deep affection. "But later, I realized he was the person I had been searching for all along. He never left me; I was just too foolish not to realize it."
"So, I'm going to compete with you fairly for Lin Feng now. You won't mind, will you?" Liu Mengyao asked Su Qingya seriously.
Su Qingya shook her head and managed a sweet smile. "Miss Liu, I don't mind. Ever since I knew about your relationship with Lin Feng, I've prepared for the worst. As long as I can stay by his side and see him happy every day, I'll be content."
"He healed my mother's leg, improved our family's living conditions, and gave me so much warmth and help when I was most helpless. I owe him a debt I can never repay in this lifetime."
"Miss Liu, you and Lin Feng are the most suitable match. I truly hope you can end up together with Lin Feng!" Su Qingya said with heartfelt blessings.
Liu Mengyao was a bit taken aback. "Classmate Su Qingya, you bless us to be together, but what about you?"
"I'll just stand behind him quietly. If he's willing, I can be his mistress. I promise not to affect your relationship!"
"Miss Liu, am I being too much with these words? Am I being too shameless?" Su Qingya's face showed some difficulty. Proposing to be Lin Feng's mistress in front of Liu Mengyao was probably an outrageous request for any woman.
Quite the opposite, Liu Mengyao was amused by Su Qingya's cuteness and kindness. Mimicking Lin Feng, she reached out and pinched Su Qingya's cheek.
"Sister Qingya, why are you so foolish? You're willing to give Lin Feng to me and be his mistress yourself. Don't you think you're making things too easy for Lin Feng?"
Su Qingya was even more confused. "Miss Liu, aren't you angry?"
"Why would I be angry? Lin Feng, this pervert, even if he's with me, he can't help but sow his wild oats. Not to mention his entanglement with Tang Wan, even my Keke is starting to fall for him!"
"Do you think I can drive Tang Wan away, or drive Keke away? I have no choice but to let Lin Feng have his way!" Liu Mengyao laughed happily and openly. She felt completely relaxed now.
On the contrary, Su Qingya, upon receiving such a large amount of information, found it difficult to process. She stammered, "Miss Liu, if you say so, I'm not the only one who wants to be Lin Feng's mistress?"
"Exactly! So, from now on, you'll be my good sister. We'll watch this big bad guy Lin Feng together and stop him from sowing his wild oats!" Liu Mengyao grabbed Su Qingya's small hand, genuinely liking her as a good sister.
Su Qingya nodded, as if she understood but not quite. Her heart also felt much lighter. Regardless, as long as Liu Mengyao didn't drive her away from Lin Feng, she was already very content.
"Lin Feng, oh Lin Feng, what exactly is so good about you that so many people like you? And you, you can't even speak a word now!"
"If something happens to you, what will all these people who like you do?" Liu Mengyao looked at the unconscious Lin Feng, her eyes welling up with tears as she spoke.
Su Qingya also felt sad. Having known Lin Feng for so long, he always gave her the impression of an unyielding mountain. Now, Lin Feng had fallen.
"Miss Liu, you stay with Lin Feng. I'll go home and make him some soup. When he wakes up, I'll help him recover!" Su Qingya held back her tears, not wanting to cry in front of Liu Mengyao. With that, she turned and left.
Only after Su Qingya left did Liu Mengyao finally break down, sobbing uncontrollably over Lin Feng.
"Lin Feng, what exactly is wrong with you?"
"Before, you always protected me, took bullets for me, and even sucked snake venom for me. How can you not get up after being pricked by a needle!"
"As long as you get better, I'll do anything you want. Can't I beg you? Wake up!" Liu Mengyao cried heartbrokenly, her tears soaking a large patch of the bedsheet.
"Young lady, how about I let you wear those black stockings you wore before? The ones with English letters on them!" A weak voice sounded in Liu Mengyao's ear. Liu Mengyao's body trembled. She quickly wiped away her tears and sat up abruptly.
Seeing Lin Feng on the bed feebly opening his eyes, Liu Mengyao instantly went from crying to smiling. "Lin Feng, why didn't you tell me you were awake? You scared me to death, you know?"
"Young lady, I just woke up. My body is still a bit weak. If I could see you wearing those stockings, perhaps my spirits would improve." Lin Feng parted his somewhat dry lips, a faint smile appearing on his pale face.
"Alright, you said it yourself. Then wait for me for a moment!"
