Back in the ward.
Jiang Xingyi’s cell phone rang.
He pressed the reject button but the other party called again. He pressed the reject button over and over again.
Xun Shaorong didn’t want to interfere with Jiang Xingyi’s personal affairs, but she could not help but glance at his phone.
Jiang Xingyi, on the other hand, was concerned about leaving a good impression on Aunt. After some thought, he stood up and walked out. “I’m going out to take a call.”
As soon as the call connected, Xiao Fan cried out, “Brother Xingyi, why did you disappear again? Brother Wu is looking for you everywhere…”
“I was on the plane just now, so it wasn’t convenient for me to answer the call.”
“A plane?” Xiao fan was surprised. “Brother Xingyi, where did you go?”
“Beijing.”
Xiao Fan probed, “Brother Xingyi, when you go to Beijing… are you going there to see your girlfriend?”
“No.”
“Are you going to see a man or a woman?”
“You don’t have to worry about that. It just so happens that the concert in Beijing is about to start soon. I’ll just go there directly for rehearsals.”
Xiao Fan said in distress, “But Brother Xingyi, you still have another two assignments…”
Jiang Xingyi said unhappily, “I already told him to not accept any more jobs. You still forced me to take them. Let Wu Ting handle it himself.”
Jiang Xingyi immediately hung up the phone.
As he walked toward the ward, he caught a glimpse of a familiar person out of the corner of his eye.
He stopped in his tracks and focused his gaze but he couldn’t find the person again.
Jiang Xingyi pressed the space between his brows. Perhaps he was too tired recently and was seeing things.
Wasn’t that kid, Jiang Jingnian, living abroad? How could he appear here…
…
When Jiang Xingyi returned to the ward, Jiang Yu was already there.
She had even brought back a bag of fruits with her. As soon as she took out an apple, Jiang Xingyi quickly took it and said, “Little Sister, let me do it.”
It was better to leave the dangerous task of peeling fruits to him. What if his little sister hurt her hand?
Jiang Xingyi washed the apple and started peeling it with a small knife.
He was skilled with the knife and peeled a long strip of apple skin without breaking till he was finished.
After peeling the apple, Jiang Xingyi handed the apple to Jiang Yu, who then handed it to Xun Shaorong. “Eat.”
Xun Shaorong shook her head. “Yu Yu, I’m not hungry. Better if you eat it. Eat more fruits. It’s good for your body.”
Jiang Yu handed the apple back to Jiang Xingyi. “Third Brother, eat.”
Jiang Xingyi shook his head as well. “I’m not hungry either.”
There was a hint of grievance in his voice. “I peeled this apple especially for you, Little Sister…”
“Alright then.”
Jiang Yu did not argue anymore. She took small bites of the apple as Jiang Xingyi watched from the side with a satisfied expression on his face.
It was very fortunate that his Little Sister had been found. Now, he could spend more time with Little Sister in this lifetime. Just thinking about it made him feel very happy.
Xun Shaorong looked at Jiang Xingyi’s moony expression as he watched Jiang Yu eat the apple. She thought to herself, An Yimin was right. Jiang Yu’s brother really doted on her. From the look in his eyes, this couldn’t be fake. This way, she and An Yimin could be at ease.
Jiang Xingyi was looking sideways at Jiang Yu, revealing the left side of his face. From Xun Shaorong’s angle, she could see the black earring on his left ear.
Xun Shaorong was stunned.
This earring…
Why did it look so similar to the rhinestone that had hung on one of the necklaces that she had lost?
Back then, Yu Yu had liked that necklace so much that Xun Shaorong had given it to her.
Yu Yu wore this necklace every day. One day, when she came back home, Yu Yu’s lips were black and she could not speak.
