“Father, Mother . ” She waved at them before running towards them .
Whenever they caught her walking a little too fast, Mu Li and Yan Weihong’s hearts would shudder . Mu Li immediately rushed forward . “Slow down . Why are you running?”
“You must have waited long . Let’s go,” answered Xuxu with a smile as she wrapped her arm over Mu Li’s .
“Sister Xuxu . ”
A familiar male voice came from behind .
Xuxu turned back and was initially surprised before comprehension dawned on her . She smiled and waved at the man who was running towards them . “Qi Lei . ”
Qi Lei was wearing a black T-shirt with a pair of jeans and looked cheery in such an outfit . He exuded vitality and energy as he ran .
“Xuxu, who’s he?” softly asked Mu Li as she looked at Qi Lei .
Xuxu answered, “Have you forgotten? My grandfather’s disciple, Qi Lei . ”
Mu Li suddenly recalled and nodded in response . “Oh, I remember now . He came to our house with Su Yue the other time . ”
“That’s right . ”
While both of them were talking, Qi Lei came to them . “Sister Xuxu . ”
Then he turned to Mu Li and Yan Weihong and bowed at them .
“What’s this?” curiously asked Xuxu as she noticed the box in Qi Lei’s hand . It resembled a bento box .
Qi smiled . “Su Yue called and asked me to bring her some food . ”
Hearing this, Mu Li smiled and chided, “That little lass . She has no qualms about bothering people . ”
“All right, stop standing here . Let’s go . ”
Xuxu led the group and walked into the hospital .
The few of them chatted as they walked .
Early in the morning, the air-conditioner in the ward was turned off and they opened the windows . Even though it was well ventilated, the stench of medicine permeated the air when they stepped in .
Mu Li leaned over to Xuxu and whispered, “The stench of medicine is too strong . You better not come to the hospital too often in the future . ”
Xuxu nodded with an ‘Mm’ .
They entered the ward one after another .
Bai Lisong was lying on the hospital bed, and he was awake . Although he was perspiring profusely, he looked better than yesterday .
Mu Li and Yan Weihong hastily walked over . “Brother Bai . ”
She addressed Bai Lisong affectionately before moving her gaze to his amputated legs . They were heavily wrapped in bandages and such a sight gripped her heart .
It filled her with extreme guilt .
Bai Lisong’s eyes turned red and beads of perspiration trickled down his face . He stared at Yan Weihong and Mu Li and was perplexed .
“Uncle Bai, they are my Second Uncle and Second Aunt and also my Third Brother’s parents . ” Su Yue had arrived at the ward early in the morning, and she sensed that Bai Lisong was unsure who Mu Li and Yan Weihong were . After introducing them to him, she continued, “She is my Third sister-in-law . ”
“Uncle Bai,” Xuxu politely greeted Bai Lisong and gratitude filled her voice .
No words could express her gratitude towards him for saving Yan Rusheng—her Ah Sheng’s life .
Bai Lisong nodded in acknowledgment and responded with an ‘Mm’ . They could detect a hint of sorrow from his tone .
“Brother Bai, you’re my son’s life savior . I really don’t know how else to express my gratefulness . I’m really thankful to you . ” Mu Li sat down by the bedside and her eyes turned red as she spoke .
To them, their son was their everything . While they were marked by luck, they couldn’t disregard the fact that someone else has lost his leg, something that a normal person could never imagine .
Bai Lisong looked sorrowful and fell silent for quite a while before opening his mouth to speak with great efforts . “You don’t have to feel guilty . While I was rushing forward to save President Yan, selfish thoughts crossed my mind too . ”
