He blinked to make sure he wasn't seeing things.
It was Xu Yafei, the sixteen-year-old girl with a bright smile and a mischievous spirit that he often thought of.
The little girl sat alone on the steps, her schoolbag beside her. She wiped away her tears and, with a handkerchief in hand, lifted her cotton skirt to wipe her right knee.
When Yang Zinuo saw the blood-soaked knee, his heart skipped a beat!
Without even thinking, he said to Bai Haitang, "Excuse me, I'll be there for a moment!"

Seeing him walk straight towards the crying little girl, Bai Haitang frowned slightly and followed him.
"Feifei, what happened to you? How did you get hurt?"
Feifei looked up in disbelief when she heard Yang Zinuo's voice.
"Brother Yang?" she exclaimed in surprise.
Seeing the little girl's face streaked with tears, her big, doe-like eyes red and swollen from crying, Yang Zinuo felt a tightness in his chest.
When Bai Haitang heard the little girl call Yang Zinuo "Big Brother," her brows relaxed again.
She thought, "She's probably a little sister from one of my relatives' families."
She was very sensible and stood about three meters away from the two of them.
Feifei did not answer Yang Zinuo's question immediately, but turned her gaze to Bai Haitang, but quickly looked away.
She murmured softly, "Brother Yang, that sister..."
Yang Zinuo was only concerned about Feifei's knee injury and didn't think much of it, so he casually replied:
"A blind date arranged by my family."
Upon hearing this, Feifei unconsciously gripped the hem of her skirt, and her tears flowed even more freely.
Didn't we agree that we'd find a girlfriend in two years?
I made that promise that day, how could the soldier lie?
She tried hard to hold back her sobs, her nostrils flaring.
Yang Zinuo thought the little girl was in pain, but when he saw the large patches of blood on the handkerchief, his heart ached.
He turned his back to Feifei, squatted down, patted her shoulder, and said:
"I'll carry you to the hospital. You're so badly injured; you need your wounds disinfected and bandaged!"
The Imperial Capital Hospital is located less than a kilometer away.

Feifei rubbed her swollen eyes and sobbed, "No need, I'm not in pain. Brother Yang, you should go and keep my sister company."
Yang Zinuo then remembered that there was a blind date standing not far away. He had brought her out for dinner and a movie.
"Wait a moment."
He walked over to Bai Haitang and politely apologized:
"I'm sorry, I have to take her to the hospital. Her knee injury is quite serious, so I have to excuse myself today."
Bai Haitang glanced at Feifei and asked, "Who is that little girl to you?"
Yang Zinuo said, "She is my teacher's granddaughter. I often visit my teacher and I am quite familiar with the little girl."
Bai Haitang felt a slight sense of relief.
Oh, they're the teacher's children. Then they'll be just like any other siblings.
Besides, she glanced at the girl again. She looked quite young, probably a high school student, maybe six or seven years younger than Yang Zinuo.

She smiled and said generously, "It's okay, I can just wander around by myself. You go and take care of the little girl!"
Yang Zinuo nodded gratefully and returned to Feifei's side.
He squatted down again, gesturing for Feifei to climb onto his back.
Feifei hesitated before asking, "Won't my sister be angry?"
"No, I've already explained everything to her."
Feifei looked at Yang Zinuo's strong and broad back, and like a shy kitten, she gently stretched out her paw and climbed onto his shoulder.
Yang Zinuo wrapped his arms around her knees and was about to stand up when the kitten behind him let out a painful meow.
Did I hurt you?
Feifei sobbed softly, "My knees are bent too badly..."
Yang Zinuo realized that if he carried Feifei on his back, Feifei's injured knee would be forced to bend at a 90-degree angle.

That wound must be excruciatingly painful!
He blamed himself for being too careless, quickly put Feifei down, and tried to think of another solution.
If I can't carry you on my back, I can only hug you.
He silently made a hugging gesture in his mind—
Then she blushed quietly.
Wouldn't he be considered a pervert if he carried a little girl all the way?
Feifei seemed to sense Yang Zinuo's concerns. She stood on one leg, gritted her teeth, and straightened her injured right leg.
"I can walk by myself..."
Seeing the horrifying wound on the little girl's leg, Yang Zinuo put aside his concerns, wrapped his arms around Feifei's back and behind her knees, and picked her up in a princess carry.
Feifei was both surprised and embarrassed, and instinctively wrapped her arms around Yang Zinuo's neck.

The little girl's delicate face brushed against Yang Zinuo's cheek, and he shuddered a few times.
The touch was like being brushed by clouds, gentle and soft.
His breathing suddenly changed, and he coughed loudly a few times to cover up his embarrassment.
Feifei's heart pounded erratically. She didn't dare to look up, burying her head in Yang Zinuo's neck like a shy kitten.
"You... hold on tight, we'll be at the hospital soon."
