BaJie didn't understand: [Master, why did you say that on purpose? ]
LiShuang pushed open the door of another ward.
[Because... as long as you are a human being, there will always be times when you lose your temper. ]
After thinking about it, she smiled again and walked into the ward.
ChuXi was wearing a hospital gown, sitting obediently by the window to bask in the sun. Against the background of the reference objects beside her, she looked like a kitten.
"Miss."
Chu Xi looked over and spoke with a restrained tremor in her voice.
When she woke up, she found herself in an unfamiliar environment. There was a strange man beside the bed, tall, strong, with a cold face, and he didn't let her leave.
So scary!
"Just call me LiShuang."
LiShuang walked up to her and saw that her hand was wrapped in gauze, and the area where her little finger should have been was wrapped much shorter.
"I'm sorry." LiShuang leaned down and hugged her.
Chu Xi was stunned for a moment, and only came back to her senses when she smelled the fragrance of her hair. When she thought about what she had experienced, her eyes suddenly reddened. She reached out and hugged her back, crying softly.
"I was so scared..."
"I was just helping someone find the way that day, and I was arrested..."
Chu Xi was terrified just thinking about it. If she didn't escape, would she die miserably in there...
LiShuang patted her back gently: "Don't be afraid, it's okay now."
"Huh?" Chu Xi stopped crying in surprise.
She rested her chin on LiShuang's shoulder, and suddenly a soft tissue was pressed against her face.
As soon as she raised her eyes, she started crying again.
HeiFeng: "?"
Are you scared?
Is he that scary?
How about asking the Second Master to replace BaiZe?
BaiZe is handsome and not scary.
LiShuang glanced at the black peak that was almost two meters tall behind her and felt like laughing for some reason.
[No one probably knows that he looks fierce, but he is actually very deceptive, right? ]
Speaking of lying, LiShuang wanted to lie to him again.
BaJie: [? ]
[Doesn't your conscience hurt? Didn't you promise not to lie to him?]
[Sorry, I forgot.] LiShuang: [But his second master is a bootlicker now, so there is no need to lie.]
ShenJi, who was smoking outside the ward: "..."
He just knew it!
I shouldn't have given in to that woman so early, shouldn't have expressed my feelings to her, and shouldn't have been nice to her.
This time it's not just dogs.
Still a dog licker!
LiShuang tried to comfort Chu Xi first.
"Okay, stop crying. I'll let Mao An'ando accompany you. Can you let this uncle protect you during this time?"
Her tone was like coaxing a child, which made HeiFeng frown and remind her in a low voice.
"Miss Li, I'm not even as old as Second Master..."
BaJie: [Silly boy , you are older than him. ]
LiShuang: [...]
[The words are rough but the truth is true, but you are being too rough. ]
She really didn't want to think about something so private.
LiShuang smiled and changed the subject: "Xiao Xi, how about letting this big brother protect you?"
Chu Xi cried until she was hot, so she left her arms, wiped her tears, and stole a glance at the big brother she mentioned.
"…"
He is really tall and doesn't like to smile, so scary!
But since the eldest lady said so, she still nodded obediently.
When HeiFeng saw that she agreed, he stood up straight and spoke in an extremely serious tone.
"Don't worry, I'm HeiFeng, I will keep you safe from now on."
To be polite, Chu Xi raised her head high and looked at him: "...My name is Chu Xi."
LiShuang asked her about her other feelings. In addition to the little finger on her left hand, she also had some skin injuries, and her muscles ached all over due to excessive exercise.
LiShuang touched her head.
"Just stay here and I'll go check next door."
Chu Xi subconsciously grabbed the hem of her skirt, but didn't want to cause any more trouble so she let go and nodded obediently.
"Um."
Before leaving, LiShuang emphasized to Hei Feng again: "I'm leaving her in your hands. You must take good care of her."
HeiFeng nodded confidently.
"Don't worry, Second Master has also told us to have someone keep an eye on her parents."
LiShuang nodded and left the ward.
HeiFeng stood in front of ChuXi, thought for a while, and then stuffed some tissues into ChuXi's hands.
"Wipe slowly."
Chu Xi listened to his cold tone and trembled: "..."
"Thank you... big brother."
HeiFeng listened to her kitten-like humming sound, and seeing that this trick was effective, he became more active.
"Well, take more and wipe it clean."
"…"
So ChuXi had five or six more tissues in her hand.
She didn't dare refuse.
She obviously stopped crying.
…
The atmosphere in the next room was obviously different from before.
LiWanwan was lying alone on the bed, her oxygen mask had been taken off, and her palm-sized face looked even more fragile.
LiShuang greeted naturally: "How do you feel today?"
LiWanwan spoke with a little more strength than when she just woke up.
"Not bad."
LiShuang chatted casually as she walked.
"I thought a lot when I came to see you this time."
LiWanwan looked at her as she came over: "What did you think of?"
LiShuang stood beside her bed.
"There are a lot of unreasonable things."
"For example, the other party wanted to use me as bait, but instead of starting with me directly, they had to start with Chu Xi and take such a long detour. Don't you think it's strange?"
LiWanwan raised her chin slightly and looked at her.
"What's so strange about that? You are well protected, so it's hard to attack you."
LiShuang leaned closer to her, staring at her intently.
"Really? Jiang Mi wasn't afraid of being exposed from the beginning. With his power, it wouldn't be difficult for him to kidnap me. So he went to such great lengths. Aren't you afraid to leave any clues outside?"
LiWanwan: "Maybe there is a saying called catching a turtle in a jar. The other party just wants to be absolutely sure."
Seeing her calm and tactful appearance, LiShuang nodded and continued.
"Well, it's strange that the other party dares to kill you but not me."
LiWanwan narrowed her eyes slightly: "What's strange about that?"
LiShuang accurately caught the strange look that flashed across her eyes and stood up straight.
"No matter who they want to target, their goal has been achieved. There is no need for me to leave anyone alive. ShenYuci's power is not small, but this time, he seems to be completely unaware of this matter."
LiWanwan secretly pinched the quilt with her fingertips.
LiShuang's mouth corners slightly raised.
"Are you working for ShenYuci?"
LiWanwan smiled and raised her eyes: "You have a very rich imagination."
LiShuang nodded thoughtfully.
"It seems that it is not."
LiWanwan pursed her lips and remained silent.
LiShuang pondered for a moment and her tone became heavier.
"The other party went after ShenJi, but they didn't dare to hurt me. You said ShenYuci would sacrifice his life for me, but you didn't know anything about this matter, and didn't show much emotion afterwards."
"You say..."
"Does that masked man know ShenYuci?" LiShuang looked at her with a smile, her tone casual as if she was discussing something with her.
"Or in other words, ShenYuci has a lot of say in Jiang Mi?"
When the last emphasis fell, LiWanwan lowered her eyelashes, hid her emotions, and smiled.
"That's your fiancé. You can go to him to verify it. You don't need to ask me. I'm the victim. I know nothing."
LiShuang stretched out her hand and lifted her chin up with strong force, preventing her from avoiding his eyes. His long and short voice drilled deep into her eardrums.
"I guess ShenYuci won't use this method to hurt me against ShenJi, but you may not."
"Are you playing a trick to inflict pain on yourself?"
LiWanwan's eyes trembled.
The smile on LiShuang's face disappeared instantly. She withdrew her hand and placed it on the quilt at her abdomen. Her relaxed tone turned completely cold.
"I am a vengeful person. If it is true, I will not let you go."
LiWanwan bit her lips tightly in pain, and cold sweat instantly seeped out of the tip of her nose.
BaJie: [She is too weak now. If the wound splits too badly, she may not survive the next surgery.]
LiShuang withdrew her hand.
LiWanwan chuckled despite the pain.
"I really want to make you suffer a little, but not to the point of risking your life."
LiShuang stood beside the bed, looking down at her, her tone very soft.
"Are you risking your life? But aren't you still alive and well?"
LiShuang admitted that when LiWanwan was shot and fell into her arms, she was pushed into the ward unconscious.
She was shaken and felt guilty.
But it was also from the first time LiWanwan showed hostility towards her——
She wouldn't believe a word she said.
"LiZeshou is dead. I am the boss of the Li family now. Since your mother has married into the Li family, I will not kick you out for the time being. You'd better behave yourself under my watch."
LiShuang left with a warning, puffing up her cheeks in annoyance.
[Who understands? It's so uncomfortable to feel the surges. ]
BaJie: [I don't understand.]
She thought no one would see the moment she lost control of her facial expression.
Who would have thought that as soon as she stepped out of the ward, she saw a tall figure standing lazily against the wall.
