Su Huojing is 1.9 meters tall, and looking down at Huai Jin, who is sitting in a wheelchair, he is very intimidating.
Huaijin was not intimidated at all and met his gaze.
Su Huo glanced at Huai Jin's legs for a moment, then casually looked away and left.
Huai Jin felt his gaze and unconsciously clutched the thin blanket on her legs, only letting go after he left.
Huaijin composed herself, wheeled herself inside, and called out, "Sister!"
Ye Jiu's brain went blank the moment she saw Huai Jin. Holy crap! She knew she'd forgotten something last night—she'd forgotten to reply to Huai Jin's message!!
Ye Jiu spoke first, "Xiao Jin, I'm sorry, I was too busy yesterday and forgot to reply to your message. I made you worry." She took the initiative to walk to his side and push his wheelchair.
Huaijin bit her lower lip lightly. "I'm glad you're alright, sister. Of course, your rest is more important. I just couldn't rest easy, so I came to find you. I hope you don't find me a bother."
Ye Jiu felt even more guilty after hearing this. Ha, ha, I really deserve to die.
She reached out and touched the top of his head. "How could I find you troublesome? I was just surprised that you would take the initiative to come all this way to find me."
She thought he had developed a phobia of going out.
Huaijin squinted, enjoying her caress. "If you want to go find your sister, nowhere is far away."
He was so afraid that something might happen to her; even the slightest injury would frighten him. Now that he saw her standing in front of him healthy and well, he felt relieved.
No matter what happened before, he would never be angry with his sister.
He was just a little upset, was it because he was chatting with that man? He hadn't even replied to his messages after waking up.
Did he suddenly appear in her life during this period...?
He turned his head to look at Ye Jiu, who met his gaze and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
He only regretted not having good legs so he could stay by her side all the time, allowing those men to take advantage of his vulnerability.
"Can I have a hug? I haven't seen my sister in so long."
"Sure." Ye Jiu walked around to him, bent down, and hugged him. The faint scent of lavender lingered in his nose, and his tense nerves relaxed at that moment.
He couldn't help but sigh, "Sister..."
He tightened his arms, wanting to hold her close, but afraid of making her uncomfortable, so he just pressed himself even closer to her.
He whispered, "Last night I waited for your reply, but my personal terminal didn't light up for a long time... When I saw that something had happened at the sanatorium, I immediately had someone send me over... Then I inquired about the hotel you were staying at. Although my coming here is useless... I can't help at all... But I'm really, really afraid that something might have happened to you."
As she finished speaking, Huaijin's tears fell. "If my sister gets hurt, I really don't know what I'll do..."
Ye Jiu patted his back. "It's okay, it's okay. I'm fine. It was my fault for not replying to your message. I won't do it again. I made you worry for so long. Did you not sleep at all last night?"
Huaijin nodded slightly and said in a muffled voice, "I can't sleep."
My apologies, my apologies.
Ye Jiu picked him up and put him on her bed. "Now that you've seen me, you can relax. Go to sleep now."
The weightlessness made him instinctively grab Ye Jiu's clothes. He landed on Ye Jiu's bed, still in a daze and unable to react.
The blankets on the bed were scattered, proving that their owner had just left and hadn't had time to tidy up.
Huai Jin loosened his grip on Ye Jiu's clothes; he didn't want to sleep...
Ye Jiu seemed to see through his thoughts, "You must not have slept all night, your eyes are all bloodshot, why aren't you going to sleep?"
Huai Jin used to stay up all night reading and drawing design drafts. When Ye Jiu found out, she immediately asked the housekeeper to supervise him to go to bed early. Because of the aftereffects of staying up all night before, his eyes were particularly fragile. If he stayed up all night, the bloodshot eyes could not be covered up at all.
"Then... will my sister come with me?"
Huaijin clutched the blanket tightly and tentatively asked, "Is it alright?" This was a rather excessive request.
Ye Jiu didn't respond immediately. Instead, she checked the messages on her personal terminal to make sure there was nothing else going on today before saying, "Okay, I'll stay in the room with you."
When Ye Jiu actually agreed, Huai Jin couldn't believe it.
He reached out and grabbed Ye Jiu's hand. "Why don't you sit next to me, or maybe you can sleep with me, sister?"
Feeling compensating, Ye Jiu nodded, "But I just woke up and can't fall back asleep. Shall I sit next to you and keep you company?"
Huai Jin nodded slowly. The surprise came too suddenly; he thought she wouldn't agree, after all, the request was so unreasonable...
Huai Jin lay down, and Ye Jiu lifted the blanket and sat up against the headboard. She turned her head to look at Huai Jin and pinched his cheek. "Is this okay? Go to sleep."
Fortunately, the bed in the room wasn't small, and since both of us were slim, we weren't cramped on one side.
Huaijin had assumed that sitting next to him was just a matter of someone moving a chair over, but she hadn't expected it to be like this...
They really look like they're getting married.
Huai Jin felt dizzy and lightheaded. Even though his hearing aid was still on, he couldn't hear anything. He could only feel his heart pounding wildly, so rapidly and frantically.
His breathing became rapid, but Ye Jiu didn't notice his unusual behavior and looked down at her personal terminal to reply to messages one by one.
When he realized Ye Jiu wasn't looking at him, Huai Jin's breathing became even more rapid. He stared at her profile, unable to get enough of looking at her.
The scent of lavender filled his nostrils; it was the smell of her usual laundry detergent. This scent was addictive to him, and on days when he couldn't see her, he could only use it to ease his longing.
The scene was so beautiful that he couldn't help but softly call out to her, "Sister..."
Ye Jiu reluctantly turned off the personal terminal and turned to look at him, "Why aren't you asleep yet?"
Huaijin's breath hitched, and she pulled up the covers. "I'm going to sleep now."
"Oh, by the way, who did you come with this time?"
"Yan An. He arranged it for me."
Ye Jiu knew Yan An, his assistant. It was strange that Huai Jin seemed to have no secrets from her, since he clearly didn't need to tell her about these people from his work.
"Okay, I won't ask you anymore, go to sleep."
Huai Jin obediently closed his eyes and shared a blanket with Ye Jiu. Sleeping in the same bed with either of them would drive him crazy.
He thought that the man certainly didn't receive such treatment.
At least until he dies, he will definitely be his sister's only favorite.
Before long, he fell into a deep sleep, and Ye Jiu could hear his even and long breathing. Looking at his sleeping face, Ye Jiu thought, "Well, I've finally managed to get him to sleep."
Activating her ability, transparent spiritual energy lines appeared before her. Ye Jiu casually grabbed them, intending to comb them, but then, thinking of his legs, she paused.
Perhaps we should wait until we go back. Huaijin's situation is different from theirs; there's nothing here.
Ye Jiu clicked her tongue in amazement; she had easily cured the two who had almost made her impulsively try to cure Huai Jin. Poor thing, she'd finish up when they got home.
Ye Jiu released his hand, and Huai Jin's spiritual energy dissipated again, filling the entire room.
Ye Jiu stopped focusing on these mental powers and continued browsing the StarNet to catch up on the online trends of the past two days.
It was through browsing these messages that she learned some interesting things.
For example, there's more to the story than meets the eye regarding Su Huo and Pei Zhiyu's mental confusion.
I just love reading these rumors.
