Chapter 119 The White-Cut Black-Hearted Younger Brother 19
When Xu Qiuqiu returned with the medicine, she saw Xiao Yichen sitting forlornly on a chair outside the clinic. He had his head down, so she couldn't see the expression on his face. His clothes were covered in blood, and there was no one around him, as if he were in the dark.
She didn't know why, but she seemed to sense his sadness. She slowed her pace, walked over slowly, and whispered to him, "Achen, let's go home."
As soon as she finished speaking, she realized that the lonely and desolate aura emanating from him had vanished instantly.
She saw him look up at her and smile gently. "Yes, come home with your sister."
The two returned to their studio apartment.
Xu Qiuqiu originally wanted to take him home, but Xiao Yichen said he didn't want Yang Wan to worry.
Because he was injured, Xu Qiuqiu indulged him and agreed.
Fortunately, there was still one set of clothes left that she had bought for him. After he changed his clothes and lay down on the bed, Xu Qiuqiu was about to leave when he grabbed her hand. Xiao Yichen looked at her with teary eyes and said softly, "Sister, I'm in a little pain. I'm scared to be alone. Can you stay with me?"
He held her hand tightly, as if afraid she would leave. Xu Qiuqiu softened and held his hand back, "Okay, I'll stay with Achen."
Seemingly surprised that Xu Qiuqiu would return the handshake, Xiao Yichen's heart trembled slightly. The warm touch of her fingertips warmed his heart.
He always took the initiative, but this time she took his hand first, and he was so excited that his eyes were about to redden again.
Xu Qiuqiu, unaware of his inner thoughts, saw him looking at her with such satisfaction and bright eyes, like a big dog being stroked. She wondered to herself, how could there be such an endearing person?
She took a cushion and sat down, smiled at him, and said, "Achen, go to sleep. I'll leave after you fall asleep."
Seeing that Xu Qiuqiu was being more indulgent, Xiao Yichen's thoughts started to stir again. He cautiously said, "Sister, why don't you sleep with Achen? Don't sleep on the sofa anymore, okay?"
"Achen is a good boy, he won't bother his sister, okay?"
After saying that, she looked at her pleadingly, her eyes welling up with tears, "Sister, please?"
Xu Qiuqiu always found it hard to refuse his gaze; she was easily swayed by it and couldn't stand seeing others looking at her pitifully. By the time she came to her senses, she was already lying in bed.
Xiao Yichen turned to look at her, "Sister, can you hug me? If you hug me, I won't feel pain anymore."
"Okay, give Ah Chen a hug."
Since they were already lying together, Xu Qiuqiu carefully reached out and hugged his waist, not daring to hug anywhere else, because she knew that his hand was still injured.
For Xu Qiuqiu, she was used to hugging him in the previous worlds, so she didn't have any other reaction. She could feel his chest rising and falling slightly with his breathing through his clothes, and her heart was beating a little fast.
Smelling the girl's delicate fragrance, Xiao Yichen felt dizzy. He hadn't expected her to actually hug him. He had planned to wait until late at night after being rejected before carrying his sister to bed and falling asleep with her in his arms.
He had tried everything to win her over before, but now that his sister had softened, did it mean that he had gained importance in her heart? His eyes began to redden, and joy was about to leap from his chest.
After his excitement subsided, he realized they were very close together; this was the first time his sister had hugged him and slept while she was awake.
He couldn't help but move closer, burying his head in her neck and wrapping his arms around her waist. The newly bandaged wound on his hand began to throb slightly, but he didn't feel any pain. He felt a sweet warmth in his heart, as if a person dying of thirst had drunk the sweetest spring water.
Startled by the sudden embrace around her waist, Xu Qiuqiu remembered his injured hand. "Achen, let go!"
Xiao Yichen, who was still immersed in sweetness, felt his heart turn cold instantly upon hearing her words. A chilling feeling spread throughout his body, and the wound that he hadn't felt before began to sting.
Sister, don't you like him hugging you?
Was his sister's softening just his imagination?
The pain in his heart brought tears to his eyes, and he felt pain even in his breathing. "Sister, don't you want to be hugged by Achen?"
Hearing his sad voice, Xu Qiuqiu quickly explained, "No, no, Achen's hand is injured, and I'm afraid it will hurt if you touch the wound."
After saying that, she patted his back to comfort him, "I don't want Ah Chen to be in pain, because it would break my heart to see Ah Chen suffer."
"Sister..." Xiao Yichen, who was already feeling wronged, felt like he was on a rollercoaster after hearing her explanation. He hadn't recovered yet, and tears kept falling from his eyes.
Hot tears dripped onto her neck, and Xu Qiuqiu was immediately at a loss. "Achen, what's wrong?"
Xiao Yichen sobbed, "Sister... I feel so bad... I thought you didn't like Achen... didn't want to hug Achen..."
"How could that be? Don't think like that. I love Achen the most. Don't overthink things, okay?"
"Then, sister...can you sleep with Ah Chen in your arms from now on?"
"Okay, okay..." Xu Qiuqiu readily agreed, then suddenly realized something was wrong, "Achen, no..."
"I knew my sister didn't like Ah Chen... she didn't want to sleep with Ah Chen in her arms..." After saying that, tears fell even more profusely, and Xu Qiuqiu felt as if her skin was being burned by his tears.
Xu Qiuqiu felt helpless but also sorry for him. "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you, I'll listen to you. Don't cry, okay?"
Upon hearing her promise, Xiao Yichen immediately stopped crying. He pulled away from her neck, his nose still a little red, his eyes also red, and looked at her earnestly, asking in a hoarse voice, "Really?"
Afraid that he would continue to cry, Xu Qiuqiu quickly nodded, "Really, really."
Why did you suddenly turn into a little crybaby?
Xiao Yichen stared intently at her, saying resolutely, "Then sister must keep her word and not lie to Achen..."
"I'm not lying to you, don't cry." After saying that, Xu Qiuqiu reached out and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes. Looking at his aggrieved look, she sighed, "Don't overthink it, Achen. Actually, you are very important to me."
“Sister…” Under her gentle gaze, Xiao Yichen’s heart, which had been as still as a ghost, began to pound again. He had never seen his sister look at him with such affection before…
Actually, he wasn't just faking it; he genuinely felt wronged. The thought of his sister disliking him and wanting to push him away made him so distressed that he couldn't breathe.
Looking into his sister's gentle and indulgent eyes, he buried his face in her neck again, his eyes filled with laughter and the corners of his mouth turned up.
[Ding! The female lead's happiness level has increased by 10%, currently at 20%]
Xu Qiuqiu gently stroked his back to comfort him.
Even without him saying it, she'll still sleep with him in her arms from now on, after all, she needs to boost her happiness level.
