Tears fell steadily onto his knee, which was secured with a splint. Her fingertips trembled slightly as she reached out and gently wiped away the tears that had dripped onto the splint.

She was filled with regret. She had been so rowdy that morning, and it seemed like she had kicked his leg and made him chase after her. It was all her fault that she ended up in the hospital.

She kept saying she liked him, but she kept hurting him. If she had sensed something was wrong back then, instead of just focusing on her own feelings, she should have found out he was in trouble sooner. Otherwise, why wouldn't he have contacted her? He asked her to wait for him, so why would he want to break up?

Why didn't I have more confidence in him back then?

"When did you become such a crybaby?" Xu Ziyu said helplessly, wiping away her tears with both hands. He knew that if he told her about it, she would definitely react this way, so even after she recovered, he kept putting it off.

"I'm not a crybaby." Luo Xikui raised the back of her hand and wiped her eyes haphazardly. With swollen eyes, she looked at Xu Ziyu, swallowed, and said in a hoarse voice, "Does it hurt a lot now?"

"It doesn't hurt." Xu Ziyu didn't want to provoke any more of her tears, so he chose to lie.

"You're lying. How could it not hurt when it's like this?" Luo Xikui thought it looked really serious, and the doctor's expression was very serious when he spoke.

"It really doesn't hurt that much, I'm used to it." He was telling the truth. He had experienced all the pain that was thousands of times worse than what he was experiencing now.

But these words hurt her even more, and the tears that had stopped started flowing again like pearls from a broken string.

"Stop crying. If you keep crying, people will think something's wrong with me." Xu Ziyu couldn't do anything about it, so he pinched her nose to stop her from crying.

She held her breath for a moment and couldn't cry anymore; her swollen, red eyes looked pitiful.

Even the most beautiful woman can't withstand crying like this. A beautiful woman like her now has two big walnuts on her head, which is a bit ridiculous.

Xu Ziyu chuckled, released her nose, let her breathe again, and patted her head: "Go wash your face, look at the state you've become."

Luo Xikui was still quite concerned about her image in front of Xu Ziyu. She wiped away her tears, got up, and went to the bathroom.

After watching her leave, Xu Ziyu took out his phone, which had been vibrating, and saw that it was Ni Sitian calling. He immediately called back.

"Xiao Yu, how are you now?" Ni Sitian asked anxiously. Although Xu Tingchuan had always told her to treat her son with a normal attitude, the thought of him having an accident somewhere she couldn't see made her heart pound.

"Mom, I'm fine, don't worry, I can take care of myself." Xu Ziyu reassured his mother, and a faint smile appeared on his lips as he thought of Luo Xikui: "She will take care of me too."

Upon hearing the word "she," Ni Sitian immediately understood. It seemed that the two little ones had made up. That was good. It wasn't for nothing that she had helped them earlier. Otherwise, given her stubborn son's temper, who knows how long it would have taken to resolve the misunderstanding.

"That's good. I'm relieved that Xiao Kui is taking care of you." Ni Sitian pursed her lips.

"Mom." Xu Ziyu called out, paused for a moment, pursed his lips, and then said firmly, "I want to marry Xiao Kui."

Ni Sitian was taken aback and remained stunned for a long time. Of course, she wouldn't object to her son and Xiao Kui getting married, but this matter was not easy to handle.
