Chapter 225: You Are My Little Glutton
Lin Chusheng, who was lying on the hospital bed at this moment, felt his heart turn to ashes. He was so pathetic; perhaps he had no hope left.
The light filtering in from the window made Lin Chusheng, who felt as if he were trapped in the dark depths of the earth, uncomfortable. He slowly turned his head.
Lin Chusheng’s eyes widened in an instant, and surprise gradually gave way to joy.
He… actually saw Xiaoxiao!
The little girl’s right hand was propped on the bedside cabinet, supporting her head as she slept drowsily.
Because she was backlit, the morning light shining in from outside the window cast a gentle halo around her.
Her slightly messy, upturned hair looked playful in the light and shadow.
The little girl wasn’t sleeping comfortably; her propped head swayed slightly, like a child being punished by the teacher for not reciting a lesson, swaying and dazed.
How cute the little girl was! If she could see this adorable sight every morning upon waking, what could be more blissful than that?
Lin Chusheng wanted to sit up and pull Xiaoxiao into his arms, letting her sleep more comfortably.
“Ouch!” Lin Chusheng let out a soft cry. His movement to sit up pulled at the wound on his calf, which suddenly hurt intensely.
“Brother Chusheng!” Ye Chuxiao immediately woke up. After a moment of daze, she quickly hugged Lin Chusheng’s arm, supporting him as he leaned back against the head of the bed.
“Good morning, Xiaoxiao,” Lin Chusheng said with a faint smile. “Were you here all night?”
“Uh, and…” Ye Chuxiao wanted to mention Senior Student Ziyi, but while she had been dozing, Senior Student Ziyi had disappeared somewhere.
“Thank you, Xiaoxiao. I always trouble you and make you work hard.”
If I had known it would make you stay up all night, I wouldn’t have gotten so drunk and stumbled around the streets.
“Brother Chusheng, are you feeling any better?” Ye Chuxiao asked with concern.
“Much better,” Lin Chusheng replied softly. The hangover made his head ache, and his calf must have been seriously injured, but Lin Chusheng didn’t tell Xiaoxiao, not wanting to worry her.
Ye Chuxiao said sincerely, “Brother Chusheng, please don’t drink so much alcohol in the future. We were all very worried about you. Uncle Tang stayed with you for the surgery last night and arranged a hospital room for you. Uncle Lin and Aunt Song have already taken the earliest flight back.”
He had indeed caused quite a stir. Lin Chusheng felt very guilty. “I’ve troubled everyone. I shouldn’t have been so despondent.”
“If Brother Chusheng is feeling sad, please tell us. Don’t bear it alone,” Ye Chuxiao said earnestly. “Uncle Tang is quite good to you. Perhaps if Uncle Tang persuades Miss Jie’er, she’ll be willing to give Brother Chusheng another chance?”
“Xiaoxiao, it’s not like that!” Lin Chusheng explained urgently. “I’m sad because…”
“Xiaoxiao,” a tall and handsome figure walked into the hospital room from the doorway and said gently, “I’m back.”
“Senior Student Ziyi!” Ye Chuxiao smiled slightly and walked towards him. “So you went to buy breakfast!”
“There’s egg pancake, which you love, my little glutton.”
“Thank you, Senior Student Ziyi!” Ye Chuxiao said with a playful smile.
Lu Ziyi looked at her with doting eyes.
“Brother Chusheng, Senior Student Ziyi bought breakfast.”
Ye Chuxiao took the several bags from Lu Ziyi’s hand, walked back to the hospital bed, and placed the bags on the bedside cabinet.
“Chusheng, you’re awake,” Lu Ziyi walked over to greet him.
Lin Chusheng’s expression became a little unnatural upon seeing Lu Ziyi affectionately call Xiaoxiao “little glutton” just now. He said softly, “I’m awake. Thank you for coming.”
