But her back was sweating, and she was terrified.
She looked at her niece again, and thankfully, her niece was perfectly normal and showed no abnormalities.
My elder brother and sister-in-law told me to take good care of the child. If anything were to happen to him today, I would spend the rest of my life in regret, which would be an unforgivable tragedy.
I never imagined that even in a military camp full of soldiers, there could be such vicious and venomous people.
"I...I really didn't know such a thing happened. She came into the house and said she was my older brother's comrade-in-arms visiting the child. If something really happens today, I'll never be able to repay this debt, even if I die."
Gu Shaoying's eyes reddened with anxiety, and tears welled up in them.
She held her nephew and comforted him.
"Alright, thankfully everything is fine. You don't need to blame yourself too much. If something had really happened, I probably wouldn't be alive anymore, and that would have been my life."
Jiang Pei pondered for a moment before returning to the cultural troupe's rest area.
She suddenly remembered something and found her dance buddy.
"I remember you had a lunchbox full of steel pillars, didn't you?"
"Yes, there is!"
"Can I borrow it for a moment?"
The little girl shook her head and refused:
"That's not something you can just play around with. It's a folk remedy my mother found in the countryside. You can treat a sprained ankle by soaking steel balls in medicinal wine and heating them up."
"That's what I meant. I twisted my ankle while dancing just now, and it hurts a lot. Can I borrow it?"
"No, I'm not lending it to you. I finally managed to save up enough for this lunchbox. I even had someone remove it from a bearing. If you lose it, where am I supposed to find it again?"
After hearing this, Jiang Pei rolled her eyes and praised:
"You're so beautiful and smart, you actually came up with such a great idea."
Didn't you say last time that you liked a hair clip but couldn't bring yourself to buy it because it was too expensive?
"If you lend me the money, I'll buy you something else as a thank you gift, okay?"
"Is it really true?"
"Of course it's true. When have I ever lied?"
"Okay, use them sparingly. You won't be able to find them if you lose them."
Jiang Pei took the lunchbox and, pretending to have foot pain, slowly moved away from the lounge.
As soon as she stepped out the door, she ran towards Gu Shaoying's dormitory like the wind, cursing under her breath.
"Damn it! I'll make sure you're all dead today!"
