Liu Bingying thought for a long ti before answering, actually she wasn't quite sure if Xiao Ke had swallowed water at that ti.
"You must rember, never allow Xiao Ke to co into contact with cold water in his current condition. Even washing hands or face should be with warm water."
"Oh, understood."
Liu Bingying, though she is several years older than Ling Zhenfei, appeared like a child who had done sothing wrong under Ling Zhenfei's scolding.
About ten minutes later, Xiao Ke's breathing finally stabilized, and he could finally have a good sleep.
It was then that Ling Zhenfei removed the Silver Needle from Xiao Ke's body and quietly left Xiao Ke's room for the living room.
It was already the early hours of the morning by then, Ling Zhenfei, after checking the ti, asked Liu Bingying, "Where is the guest room? Where should I sleep?"
"Ah!"
Liu Bingying clearly didn't expect Ling Zhenfei to ask to stay over and couldn't help but exclaim.
"Don't worry, I'm not overstaying. I'm concerned that Xiao Ke might have a relapse during the night," Ling Zhenfei hastily explained to Liu Bingying, afraid that she might misunderstand.
"No, no, it's just that it has been a long ti since anyone has stayed at my place, so I'm a bit surprised. I'm actually more than happy to have you stay here. You don't know, ever since you last saved Xiao Ke, he has been talking about you. He will be extrely happy to see you tomorrow morning."
"Then, I'm imposing on you."
Ling Zhenfei was shown to the guest room, instructed Liu Bingying to call him if Xiao Ke developed a fever during the night, and then he went to sleep.
All night long, Liu Bingying didn't call him. Enjoying the delightful scent of the blankets, he slept through till daylight, having not slept so soundly in a long while, which made Ling Zhenfei sowhat unaccustod.
Pushing the door open and stepping out of the guest room, he slled the aroma of breakfast coming from the kitchen. In the living room, Xiao Ke was walking back and forth hugging his teddy bear. Upon seeing Ling Zhenfei, he clearly paused.
"Mom, look! The uncle who saved is here!"
Yelling that, Xiao Ke rushed into the kitchen and pulled Liu Bingying out.
In the morning, Liu Bingying, dressed in a black ho outfit which was slightly loose and with her hair up casually behind her head, looked lazy and relaxed, a stark contrast to the astute and efficient Director Liu at the hospital.
Her beautiful features were as exquisite as a fairy's. Under the morning light, she looked like an elf descended to earth, so stunning that it was hard to look directly at her.
"Benefactor, are you awake?" Holding a spatula, Liu Bingying smiled at Ling Zhenfei, then turned to Xiao Ke, "Xiao Ke, haven't you always wanted to et the uncle who saved you at kindergarten? Today, mommy invited him over. Are you happy?"
"Mommy, Xiao Ke is so happy," he said and then rushed forward to hug Ling Zhenfei.
"Uncle, uncle, did you co especially to see Xiao Ke?"
Although Xiao Ke was still young, she had inherited Liu Bingying's delicate and perfect features, looking like a little princess. Growing up, she would definitely beco a devastating beauty. How could he resist saying no when such a little beauty asked him?
Ling Zhenfei really liked little girls, and he liked Xiao Ke even more because she was not only cute and pretty but also sensible. It didn't take long for him to bond with Xiao Ke.
By the ti Liu Bingying had finished preparing breakfast, Ling Zhenfei was already running around with Xiao Ke, looking nothing like it was their first day of acquaintance. Anyone who didn't know better would have thought they'd known each other for a long ti.
"Thank you so much for last night, you saved Xiao Ke again. It's sowhat embarrassing to say, but you don't know how many tis you've rescued us. I really don't know how to repay you."
Liu Bingying said this very emotionally during the al, clearly showing she was a person who deeply valued relationships.
What could Ling Zhenfei say? He could only comfort her. A woman raising a child on her own while working was not easy. He really wanted to know why she got divorced. A woman as outstanding and beautiful as her getting a divorce seed an outrage, but he felt too embarrassed to say it out loud.
"If only you were my brother, could I call you brother?" Liu Bingying suddenly asked Ling Zhenfei.
"Of course, if I could have such a beautiful sister like you, I'd be more than happy."
Ling Zhenfei ant it. Many people had sisters, but not many were as beautiful as Liu Bingying.
"Really? Then from now on, I'm your sister." Liu Bingying was very pleased, as if she had gotten a great advantage.
Sister, such a strange title to him. In Ling Zhenfei's life of over twenty years, he had never used it before. It sounded so beautiful.
"Sister." Ling Zhenfei tried saying it, his voice trembling a bit with excitent, but it felt really comfortable. In his life, he had only had a sister-in-law, but now things felt different.
"Brother!"
Liu Bingying also called out. Though it was just a simple exchange of 'sister' and 'brother,' it seed to bring the two much closer in an instant.
As their relationship deepened, they talked a lot, and from the conversation, Ling Zhenfei got a general understanding of Liu Bingying's past life.
She wasn't a local either; she had stayed in Binyang to work after college. She had been serious from a young age, striving to do her best in everything. After graduating from college, she started as an intern at a hospital and began setting strict demands for herself. She was beautiful and diligent, so she was promoted quickly.
But then, fate took a turn. A man nad Liu Guang slowly drew close to her. Liu Guang was quite handso and sweet-talking, showering Liu Bingying with ticulous care, and soon she fell in love with him.
Life should have been wonderful, but Liu Bingying could never have imagined that the Liu Guang she t was a complete scoundrel. All his pursuits while courting her were nothing but pretense. The young and naive Liu Bingying was wholeheartedly devoted to Liu Guang, and soon, she got pregnant. Under the circumstances, they rushed into a marriage, but after getting married, Liu Guang turned into a completely different person, showing his true nature.
Liu Guang, who never smoked or drank, turned out to be skilled in all the vices of smoking, drinking, and gambling. His previously ticulous care for Liu Bingying had dwindled to nothing, and he even neglected her during her pregnancy. Liu Bingying knew she had been deceived, but what could she do after marrying and having his child? She could only endure. Endurance, however, did not bring any good to Liu Bingying; instead, Liu Guang only beca worse, and during one argunt, he even hit her.
Liu Bingying felt she was living in hell, and continuing this way was unbearable. She even considered suicide, but for her unborn child, she endured. She had hoped that Liu Guang might change for the sake of their child, but the birth of Xiao Ke only made her fate even more tragic.
