Chapter 156: I’ll Protect You
Xing Jiuan bought some things. She didn’t know what to buy, so she bought some fruits. Anyway, she could always get someone to send Qi Lei something at any time.
Qi Lei was feeling better now.
Xing Jiuan had also come two or three times during the filming of the variety show. However, she didn’t stay for long. After all, she’d still had things to do.
Qi Lei was still young. He was only in his teens, and his body was recovering quickly. Now, his wounds were no longer making things inconvenient for him. He could get out of bed and even do simple things.
However, Xing Jiuan still specially arranged for two nurses to take care of him. Mu Qing, Ou Qi, and Lu Mingxi would also come by occasionally, along with Xing Jiuan’s group of underlings.
When Xing Jiuan arrived, Qi Lei was reading on the bed.
The sunlight was just right. The curtains were drawn, and a large ray of sunlight shone in. The young man’s face was a little pale, but his endless beauty was still visible.
He was full of energy and vitality.
“Sis, you’re here.” When he heard the knocking on the door, he looked up and happened to see Xing Jiuan. At that moment, he smiled especially happily and even wanted to get out of bed to welcome Xing Jiuan.
“Sit down. You don’t have to get down. I’m just here to see you.” Xing Jiuan walked over to Qi Lei quickly and placed the fruits on the table before sitting on the chair beside him.
“How have you been these last two days? Does it still hurt?” Xing Jiuan asked gently.
“No.” Qi Lei shook his head.
He had been trained to endure pain.
Although he had been saved by Xing Jiuan later and was taken in as her younger brother, giving him everything that he had not dared to imagine in the past, he still did not let himself become delicate.
Furthermore, even if it really hurt, he no longer felt any pain when he saw Xing Jiuan.
His feelings for Xing Jiuan were very complicated.
He treated Xing Jiuan like an elder sister and a god.
Xing Jiuan had a supreme status in his life.
He was like the most devout believer, protecting his supreme faith.
Qi Lei looked at Xing Jiuan with eyes full of seriousness and dependence.
As Xing Jiuan watched, she suddenly smiled.
“You’re more handsome now,” Xing Jiuan praised. “Try to look even better if you can.”
“Okay,” Qi Lei replied.
He did not know if he could look any better than this.
However, since Xing Jiuan had said so, he would agree.
Xing Jiuan had only said it casually.
When she rescued him back then, this child was dressed in tattered clothes. He looked like he had just been beaten up. There were old wounds on him that had yet to heal and even some pus. Just looking at him made one feel fear.
At that time, he was still an immature child. She did not know who would be so ruthless.
Xing Jiuan’s heart ached for him. She had rescued this child and destroyed that organization. Then, she said to Qi Lei, “From now on, you will be my younger brother. I will protect you.”
Then, Xing Jiuan had a new younger brother who treated her like she was his everything.
Qi Lei now had a sister that he was willing to protect with everything he had.
Qi Lei’s body was not very well yet. Although his wounds were slowly healing, he had suffered fatal injuries after all. Moreover, it had not been that long.
Xing Jiuan did not stay long as Lin Ling was still waiting downstairs.
When Xing Jiuan was about to leave, Qi Lei felt a bit of reluctance.
“Sis, when are you coming again?”
Qi Lei usually would not say such words.
Perhaps it was because he was injured and sick, so he was a little fragile.
