"I don’t want—" Xiyan playfully whined to him as usual, rubbing her little head against his chest.
It’s been so long since they last saw each other, she was dying to hug him and shower him with kisses.
No, no, no, I’m a reserved girl.
I must hold back.
I’ll kiss him when we get ho, hehe...
"Xia Xiyan." Ou Jue spoke with a stern expression, each word carrying a hint of warning.
Xiyan pouted, reluctantly letting go of him.
What was this guy doing, acting cool again?
Soon, everyone gathered around Ou Jue, especially Grandma Ou, who was overco with tears and smiles.
Mother Ou wiped her tears and looked at Anna, "Thank you, really thank you. What’s your na? Are you Xiyan’s friend?"
"I’m Anna, um... yes, I’m Xiyan’s friend." The girl smiled mildly, "I t Xiyan at a guesthouse a while back, we really hit it off, and added each other on WeChat. Thinking about it now, it was lucky we did."
"Exactly, exactly." Xiyan nodded vigorously, "Anna and I are truly destined to be friends. Just the other day, I ran into her at the mall entrance. You know, I was wearing a big mask and hat, yet she recognized at a glance. Talk about impressive.
And thanks to her, we could find Ou Jue.
Oh Anna, I really don’t know how to thank you enough!"
Xiyan babbled on.
The cloud weighing down on her chest finally dissipated bit by bit with Ou Jue safe and sound.
Ou Jue remained leaning against the headboard, listening to Xiyan, and casually glanced at Anna.
Anna smiled again.
She loved to smile, a slight smile that gave a glimpse of serenity in the passing years.
"After all, seeing a person—no matter who—everyone passing by would stop and help, right?
It was just that he lay motionless at the ti, scaring quite a bit. I even thought...
Anyway, it’s great that he’s fine now.
Xiyan, he just woke up not long ago, and his body might still be weak. You should give him these dications."
As she spoke, Anna handed the dicine bowl to Xiyan.
Xiyan hurriedly nodded, took it, carefully stirred the steaming dicine with a small spoon, and turned to feed him.
To her surprise, Ou Jue directly raised his hand, took the bowl, and drank it down himself.
His sexy Adam’s apple moved several tis, and the entire bowl was emptied.
Efficiently done.
"Huh? You..." Xiyan was stunned.
Grandma Ou had just wiped away her tears and started worrying about her beloved grandson.
In a tone as if hating iron for not becoming steel, she said, "Why not lie down obediently and let Xiyan feed you?"
Ou Jue placed the bowl aside, replied in a calm voice, "Not that fragile."
For so reason, Xiyan felt strange inside...
Was I overthinking it?
Mother Ou was genuinely relieved, "Well then, knew you’d always survive."
Ou Jue’s expression was indifferent, eyes unwavering, "Anyway, I’m awake now. Let’s go back first."
"I’ll support you." Xiyan held Ou Jue’s arm.
Once the two stood up, they all said goodbye to Anna.
Grandma Ou: "We ca in such a rush today, I must visit properly in a few days to thank you!"
"Grandma, please don’t say that, truly it’s no problem. Besides, this is just a temporary place for . I’m a backpacker, I might just leave whenever I decide."
Anna is leaving again?
That won’t do, she still hasn’t been properly thanked.
Xiyan wanted to persuade her to stay.
A graceful voice ca over, "You should co back with us too."
