"I'll go with you."...
...
Ning Yanshu didn't wake up until evening.
After the anesthesia wore off, excruciating pain shot through the fracture site.
He hissed, baring his teeth.
Looking up and seeing the shadow beside the bed, he was suddenly startled: "Huh!!!..."
Ning Yanshu only breathed a sigh of relief after he calmed down and realized that the person was Shen Xu: "It's you, Shen Xu. Why didn't you turn on the lights so late at night? You almost scared me to death."
Shen Xu obediently got up and pressed the switch.
The room, which was originally pitch black, was suddenly filled with bright light.
Ning Yanshu then noticed that Shen Xu's eyes were red and swollen.
He immediately became anxious: "What's wrong? Did someone bully you at school?"
Shen Xu shook his head, then pointed at him with his finger.
The reproach in his eyes was self-evident.
Ning Yanshu realized his mistake and quickly apologized with a chuckle, "I just didn't mean to, I promise I won't do it again!"
Shen Xu frowned and said angrily, "There won't be a next time!"

He sighed dramatically, adopting the melancholy of an empty-nest elderly person: "Busy, everyone's busy... It's good to be busy..."
Shen Xu couldn't bear to see Ning Yanshu looking so dejected.
He grasped Ning Yanshu's hand and comforted her, saying, "I'll stay with you."
Ning Yanshu was stunned for a moment.
He was just being sentimental for no reason, he didn't expect Shen Xu to take it seriously.
Seeing the seriousness in his eyes, Ning Yanshu couldn't help but smile and chime in, "I knew it, you're the best to me, little brother~"
After growing up and learning about the generational difference between them, Ning Yanshu no longer dared to call Shen Xu "little brother".
But calling him "little uncle" seems even stranger.
So later on, he simply started calling Shen Xu by his given name.
Hearing this title again after many years still makes Shen Xu feel particularly embarrassed.
The way he looked at Ning Yanshu also had a hint of flickering in his eyes.
The ward was quiet, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment.
Fortunately, Ning Wan and Shen Fu arrived.
Shen Xu silently withdrew his hand without making a sound...
