<h4>Chapter 1376: Why Aren’t You Unfamiliar with Zhou Pingan?</h4>


    This sentence was not right. Lu Ning paused and continued, “You are Linger’s brother. And we are good friends. Why would I be afraid of you? I’m just…feeling unfamiliar…”


    Unfamiliar…


    Yin Zhihan was even more interested in this word. He looked at her. “Then why are you not unfamiliar with Zhou Pingan?


    Zhou Pingan…


    Zhou Pingan again…


    This was the second time he had mentioned Zhou Pingan in front of her. Lu Ning stood up and looked at him slowly. “What are you trying to say?”


    Yin Zhihan kept his right hand in his pocket. He was only 17 years old, so he should be called a teenager. However, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle hovering in the night sky.


    “Actually Linger did prepare a birthday present for Zhou Pingan. It’s… a scarf.”


    Scarf?


    Lu Ning’s mind exploded. Now she understood, she understood everything. Yin Linger didn’t misunderstand because she saw her with Zhou Pingan, but because Linger knew what she was thinking.


    Yin Linger knew that she liked Zhou Pingan.


    The atmosphere froze. Lu Ning stared at Yin Zhihan with wide eyes, “So what do you mean? Do you think I did it on purpose? I wanted to snatch Pingan away from Linger, so I gave her the exact same scarf on purpose. I deliberately bumped into his arms and let her see that?”


    She was very agitated now. Like a hedgehog, she raised all the thorns on her body and attacked him. Yin Zhihan’s gaze changed.


    Lu Ning’s entire body trembled. At this moment, all the nerves in her head were stabbed.


    That’s right. She did like Zhou Pingan, but she had never thought of snatching Zhou Pingan away from Linger. She only suppressed this hazy good impression deep in the bottom of her heart.


    Was that wrong?


    Well… Maybe it was wrong.


    Linger was still unconscious, and it was all her fault.


    Thinking of this, Lu Ning’s eyes reddened. She felt wronged, guilty, and sad. She wanted to cry.


    She didn’t want to cry in front of him. She absolutely wouldn’t allow him to see her in any embarrassing state again. She had to leave.


    However, after taking a step, her slender wrist was forcefully held by arge palm. The man behind her asked in a low voice, “Are you crying?”


    Could he not speak? Could he let her retain herst bit of pride? Lu Ning really, really hated this man!


    “Let go!” She shook him off forcefully.


    However, she did not shake him off!


    “Alright, Lu Ning, Sorry, I apologize to you. I did not mean it that way and you misunderstood me, but it is my fault for making a girl cry…”


    Lu Ning didn’t want to listen to him and couldn’t shake his hand off. She anxiously opened her mouth and bit him.


    Yin Zhihan felt the pain and slowly let go of her.


    Lu Ning quickly ran away.


    Looking at her receding figure, Yin Zhihan,”…”


    He looked down at his hand. There was a deep bite mark on his hand. How much did she hate him for biting him so hard?


    Yin Zhihan shrugged helplessly.


    …


    Zhou Pingan stayed in the ward for the whole night. At 7 a.m., Yin Linger fluttered her long eyshes and opened her eyes.


    “Linger, you’re awake?” Zhou Pingan was delighted. “Are you okay? Do you feel ufortable somewhere? Do you want to drink some water?”


    Yin Linger felt her mouth was dry and she nodded.


    Zhou Pingan poured her a cup of warm water and helped her sit up. “Drink slowly.”


    Yin Linger held the cup and sipped the water.


    At that moment, she felt a touch on her forehead. Zhou Pingan pressed his body down and kissed her. His soft voice entered her ears, “Linger, why did you run around at the party? Ah Ning suddenly turned around and identally bumped into me. Did you misunderstand us? This is too much. Don’t you know what my rtionship with Ah Ning is? We’ve been friends since we were young!”


    Yin Linger had thought the same way in the past. She had never thought that Brother Pingan would have anything more than friends with Ah Ning, until yesterday.


    Yin Linger looked up at Zhou Pingan. “I’m sorry…”


    “Silly, I don’t need your apology. I only hope that you would stay safe in the future. Do you know how worried I was when you fell into the water? I can’t do anything without …”


    Zhou Pingan wanted to say something, but at that moment, there was a knock on the door. Lu Ning had arrived.


    Lu Ning’s eyes were red, but she was very happy when she saw that Yin Linger had woken up. “Linger, you’re awake!”


    “Ah Ning.” Yin Linger reached out her small hand to Lu Ning.


    Lu Ning walked forward and held her hand.


    “You two have a chat. I’ll go out first.” Zhou Pingan stood up and left, leaving this ce to them.


    …


    “Linger, you were in aa the whole night. I was worried sick. Don’t do this again. If there’s anything or a misunderstanding between us, you should ask me in person. With our rtionship, is there anything we can’t open up?”


    “…It’s not a misunderstanding, right? You like him too, right?” Yin Linger asked.


    Lu Ning froze. “Linger, listen to me…”


    “Ah Ning, you listen to me. I’m sorry, I’m really sorry. We grew up together, but I didn’t realise that you liked him. I don’t know how sad you were when you saw us together. I even told you everything…”


    “You never told me that you liked him. When I told you how good he was to me, you always listened quietly and even gave me advice. I have been sticking with him all the time. I always neglected you…”


    “Ah Ning, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault…”


    The tip of Lu Ning’s nose turned red and crystal-clear tears fell. “Please don’t say that. To me, nothing is more important than our sisterhood. Not to mention about a man.”


    “That’s right.” Yin Linger nodded. She wasughing with tears on her face.


    “Alright Linger, Don’t cry anymore. You’re like a dirty kitten.”


    “Ah Ning, you too. You’re going to be a kitten too. No man can interfere between us, right?”


    “Yes!”


    “Linger, Ah Ning.” The ward door was pushed open. Yin Shuiling walked in with a Thermos sk. “Linger, how do you feel? You scared me to death yesterday.”


    “Mommy, I’m fine. I’m sorry for making you worry.”


    “Silly girl.” Yin Shuiling hugged her lovingly.


    “Linger, since you’re fine now, I’ll leave first.” Lu Ning said goodbye.


    “Okay.”


    Lu Ning left.


    …..


    After Lu Ning left, Yin Shuiling opened the Thermos sk. “Linger, I made you some millet congee. I’ll feed you some.”


    “Mommy, where’s Brother Pingan?”


    “He was talking to the doctor just now. He’ll probably be back soon,” Yin Shuiling sighed and said, “Your dad was right. The first person you want to see when you wake up is no longer me but your Brother Pingan. I am so sad.”
