"Don't be so conceited, kid. Even if I give you a few moves, you won't be able to win."
"That's right."
Xie Yanbei and Shen Huaizhi walked up to Xiao Shuo, and one of them punched him lightly in the chest.
"You better get better quickly. Don't fall behind us too much. If you lose, you'll have excuses for yourself."
"Go away, stop bothering me."
Xiao Shuo pretended to be sleepy and wanted to rest, so he drove the two of them out.
"Okay, then you should have a good rest. We will come to see you again in two days."
Shen Huaizhi patted his shoulder, still a little reluctant to leave.
Until he could no longer hear the two people's breathing, Xiao Shuo immediately put away his smile, and his whole body was shrouded in a faint sadness and heaviness.
In fact, even if Xie Yanbei and Shen Huaizhi didn't say it, he was aware of his condition.
In this life, I may never have the chance to train with them and fight side by side with them.
Xiao Shuo just sat silently on the hospital bed, facing the window.
He tilted his head back and let the sunlight shine on his face.
Although the sun was shining brightly outside, his heart felt like it had fallen into an abyss.
No more light could get through.
*
Xie Yanbei and Shen Huaizhi left Xiao Shuo's ward and went downstairs to complete the discharge procedures for Ye Lanqing.
After all the procedures were completed, Xie Yanbei came to the ward and packed Ye Lanqing's things for discharge.
Ye Lanqing watched his skillful movements and joined in.
"Son, where are we going?"
"We are going to Qingzhou's house."
Xie Yanbei was not impatient at all and answered every question of Ye Lanqing one by one.
Ye Lanqing learned about Xiao Shuo from him. She knew that he was a soldier like her son, and that he might never see him again in his life because he had been fighting to drive away the enemy. She couldn't help but feel sad for him.
"Xiao Xiao is so pitiful. He lost both his parents at such a young age and suffered such a serious injury."
Thinking that he was alone in the hospital without any relatives to take care of him, Ye Lanqing offered to come and bring him meals every day.
"Since you and Xiao Xiao are good friends and brothers, then he is your godson. It's really pitiful that he's alone in the hospital now. We must help him well and not let him feel uncared for."
Xie Yanbei nodded and did not stop Ye Lanqing's proposal.
He knew that although Xiao Shuo didn't say it, he actually envied his parents' love.
If Ye Lanqing was taking care of him, maybe he would feel the love and warmth of family and feel better.
"It's too late today, and Xiao Xiao still needs to rest. Starting tomorrow, you tell me what Xiao Xiao likes to eat, and I'll make it for him."
Ye Lanqing spoke gently, giving people a warm and comfortable feeling.
Xie Yanbei looked at her, pursed his thin lips, and finally uttered a word after a long while.
"Thank you, Mom."
"You silly child, why are you still saying thank you to your mother?"
Soon, everything was packed up.
Xie Yanbei and Shen Huaizhi took their things consciously. Ye Lanqing wanted to help but was stopped by the two.
An hour later, the three arrived at Ji's house.
“Woof woof woof…”
Dahuang was the first to notice the visitor and immediately rushed out of the nest.
Its round eyes were full of vigilance as it sniffed at the three people.
It actually ran to Ye Lanqing's feet, wagging its tail at her madly, and rubbing its little head against her trouser legs.
"This little guy is quite powerful."
Shen Huaizhi couldn't help laughing when he saw the little guy trying to please her.
Just as I was about to put down my things and rub the little guy's head, I didn't expect it to take two steps back.
Vigilance appeared in its eyes again, and it barked at Shen Huaizhi.
That ferocious expression, coupled with the compact body, really doesn't match.
"Hey!"
Shen Huaizhi was almost laughing out of anger.
"This little thing is too disrespectful. Why does it shake its head when it sees Aunt Ye, and makes a fuss and yells when it comes to us?"
He looked at Xie Yanbei in confusion and saw that he was also shaking his head with a look of confusion.
"I can see that this little thing seems to be biting you even harder. I'm wondering if you've done anything to offend it?"
Shen Huai smiled, nudged Xie Yanbei with his elbow, and couldn't help teasing him.
"Go, stop talking nonsense."
While the two were talking, Ji Qingzhou heard the noise and poked his head out from the kitchen.
"Ayan."
She was holding a kitchen knife in her hand and was helping Cao Yunzhi cut meat slices.
When he saw Xie Yanbei, Ji Qingzhou could not hide his excitement and joy in his eyes.
The next second, Cao Yunzhi and Ji Jingshan came out and greeted the three people happily.
"Sister, Xiao Xie has brought you back."
"You've worked hard. Come inside and take a rest. The food will be ready soon."
Cao Yunzhi stepped forward and held Ye Lanqing's hand. Ji Jingshan followed behind, patted Xie Yanbei on the shoulder, and the family walked into the house.
As soon as he walked into the room, Xie Yanbei felt as if someone was looking at him.
He frowned and looked around subconsciously. When he turned around, he met Ji Qingwan's resentful gaze.
"snort!"
Ji Qingwan met his gaze, glared at him, and immediately turned away.
Xie Yanbei was glared at for no reason and felt confused.
He didn't seem to have offended her, did he?
Ji Qingzhou stood between the two of them and was able to take in the entire scene.
She couldn't help but laugh secretly, and she moved closer to Xie Yanbei and told him the whole story in a low voice.
"I see."
After hearing her words, Xie Yanbei understood instantly.
The man raised his head and looked at Ji Qingwan again. Seeing that she still had an angry expression, a trace of helplessness welled up in his heart.
