Finally, Li Xintong asked to be Shen Ye's older sister because she was older than him, and Shen Ye, as if he had lost his mind, agreed immediately.
In the days that followed, Li Xintong would occasionally visit Shen Ye at the branch hospital and would even treat her colleagues in the psychology department to coffee. Everyone liked her, but for some reason, the more Li Xintong did this, the more Shen Ye felt that she had ulterior motives.
After discovering that the two were getting close, Yan Bai paid less attention to Li Xintong and even complained about her, saying that she had "kidnapped" Shen Ye away.
Li Xintong would jokingly say, "Then you'd better treat my brother well, or I'll introduce him to someone even better."
Two weeks later.
It was Yan Bai's mother's birthday. There was no banquet for anyone else; the family just had a meal at home.
During the meal, Xu Yu kept staring at Shen Ye, as if trying to see right through him, making Shen Ye very uncomfortable.
After dinner, before going to bed, Shen Ye said to Yan Bai, "Have you ever thought about introducing Li Xintong to another boyfriend?"
Yan Bai paused for a moment, "She has high standards and looks down on my few friends, so she doesn't care about things that don't concern her."
In the days that followed, Li Xintong paid even more attention to Shen Ye, as if he were her own younger brother.
This made Shen Ye lower his guard against Li Xintong, but little did he know that a long-planned conspiracy was gradually approaching him.
I usually have to work, so I don't have time to sleep in. I was planning to sleep in on the weekend to catch up on sleep, but I was woken up early this morning by Li Xintong's phone call.
Shen Ye lazily called out "Hey," and Li Xintong's voice came through intermittently. Shen Ye listened for a long time but still couldn't understand it before sitting up: "Sister Xintong? What's wrong? Are you crying? Speak slowly, I can't hear you."
I heard the sound of someone wiping their nose over there. About a minute later, she said, "I just rolled down the stairs, and there's a lot of blood."
The sleepiness that had been lingering in the night was instantly startled by those words: "Where did you fall?"
"My leg," she pleaded softly on the other end of the phone. "Keep your voice down. I don't want Yan Bai to know. I only told you that my leg hurts terribly and I can't move it at all. Can you buy me some medicine?"
Shen Ye agreed without hesitation, hung up the phone and prepared to go out. Yan Bai turned over and woke up: "Weren't you going to sleep until noon? Where are you going?"
Remembering Li Xintong's words, Shen Ye lied: "Zheng Bin called me. It seems he had some trouble with his girlfriend and is in a bad mood right now. I'm going to comfort him."
The villa that Li Xintong bought was not far from where Shen Ye and Yan Bai lived; it only took two or three minutes to drive there.
After buying the medicine, she rang the doorbell for a long time before opening the door. Shen Ye immediately noticed the blood on her leg; there was a long, fleshy wound on her knee that was constantly oozing blood.
Shen Ye felt pain just looking at her and immediately tried to take her to the hospital, but Li Xintong stopped him, "Don't take me to the hospital, please..."
She let go of Shen Ye's hand, looking at him with tears in her eyes, "Actually, I was beaten and fell down from the building."
"Who hit you? Don't you live alone?"
Li Xintong lowered her head and bit her lip. "I...I'm living with the guy my aunt introduced me to. Because my aunt has a good impression of him and hopes we can be together, I agreed..."
"If he was introduced by Yan Bai's mother, then why did he still dare to hit you?"
