Capítulo 1658: Chapter 364: An Unexpected Surprise (Still a Ten-Thousand-Word Update)
“All right, all right! It will definitely be fine!” Duan Jingning was overjoyed in his heart, gratefully looking at the mber of the Xinsheng Army, repeatedly expressing his thanks.
Since Peng Shaohe hadn’t woken up yet, considering the noise in the ward, An Yiqing asked Ruan Xue, Xia Hao, and the others to wait outside. She and Duan Jingning walked into the ward.
It was very quiet inside the ward. On the single bed, Peng Shaohe lay there quietly with his eyes closed. Due to excessive blood loss, his face was very pale, and in just one night, he seed to have lost a lot of weight and looked particularly haggard.
Beside the bed, there was a single sofa. Peng Ze was sleeping soundly with his eyes closed. The sofa was small, and although Peng Ze was small in stature, it was still uncomfortable to squeeze in it. His complexion was also not good, with chapped, dry lips and faint dark circles under his eyes. Clearly, this poor child hadn’t slept well all night.
Perhaps because the sofa was too small, Peng Ze suddenly frowned, turned over, and with a “thud” sound, fell to the floor.
In a daze, he opened his eyes, rubbed his aching knee, and wobbled up from the ground. He initially intended to return to the sofa to sleep, but upon seeing An Yiqing’s appearance in the ward, he stopped all his actions.
“Sister Xiao Qing, why did you just co now?!” Peng Ze blinked, and upon confirming that the An Yiqing before him wasn’t a hallucination, his eyes reddened, and he rushed into An Yiqing’s arms with a few strides.
Although Grandpa had passed the critical phase and his parents had co to comfort him, for so reason, the person Peng Ze most wanted to see was still An Yiqing. It seed that only with this sister by his side could he feel particularly at ease.
Last night, he went through the most unforgettable and thrilling night of his sixteen years. Even in his dreams, he kept seeing a lot of blood, fire, and twisted shadows. Throughout the night, he was scared awake by nightmares several tis, miserably falling off the sofa multiple tis.
Now, finally seeing An Yiqing, the poor Peng Ze no longer needed to pretend to be strong.
Ignoring the white dress An Yiqing was wearing, Peng Ze tightly clutched her clothes, resting his head in her embrace, and began to cry aloud.
An Yiqing didn’t console him, nor did she softly coax him, she simply patted Peng Ze’s back gently, like a mother.
Peng Ze cried for a long ti, until he was out of breath, before lifting his head from An Yiqing’s embrace.
Seeing the large wet patch on An Yiqing’s chest, Peng Ze’s face turned red “whoosh”, quickly lowering his head, not daring to look at her.
An Yiqing blinked in confusion, looked down, and her small face turned dark.
“You little brat! How co you didn’t feel embarrassed when you were sobbing?” she laughed and scolded Peng Ze, activating Inner Breath to quickly dry the tears on her clothes. Soon, the white fabric which had been slightly transparent due to wetness returned to normal.
Peng Ze shyly scratched the back of his head, raising his head to glance again at the place where he had cried. After seeing there was no trace of water, he sighed in relief.
“Sister Xiao Qing, you…” He was just about to speak, but stopped upon noticing Duan Jingning standing behind An Yiqing.
“Grandpa Duan, why are you here?” Of course, Peng Ze knew that part of last night’s incident was because of Duan Ziqing, he didn’t think Duan Jingning was at fault, but thinking that his son had caused such harm to his grandfather emotionally troubled him.
Duan Jingning obviously noticed the embarrassnt in Peng Ze’s eyes, he smiled bitterly and said in a low voice: “Old Peng got hurt because of my disappointing son, how could I not co? I ca last night but was chased away by Old Peng’s n. Alas! This ti, I really owe him a debt as an old man!”
Duan Jingning’s guilt was apparent to Peng Ze, who was at a loss as he glanced at him, softly saying: “Grandpa Duan, don’t be too sad, I think Grandpa wouldn’t bla you. Moreover, the real culprit yesterday was the Fei Country Army, if it weren’t for them, Grandpa wouldn’t have been so severely injured.”
Duan Jingning wiped his face, his heart still filled with guilt. Although Peng Ze spoke like that, his own son still committed many wrongs!
“By the way, Sister Xiao Qing, could you check on Grandpa? He hasn’t woken up yet; the doctors said it’s just a normal coma, but I’m a bit worried.” Peng Ze said anxiously.
An Yiqing nodded, patted Peng Ze’s head, and slowly walked to the bedside, feeling Peng Shaohe’s pulse.
