Xiao Bing smelt a pleasant fragrance which was unique to young girls when she approached him. He could not help inhaling.

“Put this thermometer under your arms.” The nurse gave Xiao Bing a thermometer, “I’ll check the temperature later.”

“Well… I’m not sure I can do it…” Xiao Bing looked at the nurse while wearing a long face.

The young nurse did not think much. She put her hands under his sheet and put the thermometer under his armpit. Her tiny hand and elbow unconsciously touched Xiao Bing’s chest while she was doing it. Xiao Bing felt them smooth and good.

Especially when she was very close to him, Xiao Bing really wanted to gently bite that pretty face when he was staring at her white, tight skin and big eyes with long eyelashes.

The wound must be to blame for the decline of his ability. He really liked that apple-like face of hers.

The nurse took her hands back and sat beside him. She asked, “How do you feel right now? It still hurts, I assume. In addition to that, do you feel any other uncomfortableness?”

Xiao Bing sounded miserable, “My heart hurts. Maybe you can rub the pain out?”

“Your heart?” The nurse frowned, “Then it must be hurt when you were being hit. You need a formal examination,” said the young nurse, frowning.

Seeing her being very serious, Xiao Bing decided to stop teasing her. So he said, “But I’m feeling good. It doesn’t hurt now.”

Suspiciously, the nurse stared at Xiao Bing. Then she looked at the time, thinking the duration was long enough, so she put her hands under his sheet again and took out the thermometer. She took a look at it and said, “The temperature is normal. Let’s do some other examinations.”

She took out other instruments and checked his heartbeat and blood pressure. She took the tools back after she thought there were no other problems. Then she was about to leave.

Seeing the nurse being about to leave, Xiao Bing cleared his throat and said. “What if I want to pee? What should I do?”

“Oh, yes.” The young nurse innocently said, “You get to pee.”

Xiao Bing pretended to be awkward, “Why don’t you help me walk into the bathroom every time I need to pee?”

“Don’t you have someone outside your door?” Confused, the nurse stared at Xiao Bing. But then she grinned, “How about I put a urine tube on your body?”

“…” Xiao Bing inwardly disdained himself and had to say yes.

After the nurse went out, Xiao Bing began waiting for Xiaxiao’s arrival. Su Xiaoxiao sounded very worried on the phone. Though she lost her temper for a while, Xiao Bing did not mind.

Xiaoxiao found Xiao Bing lying on the bed and wrapped up by many bandages when she walked in. The worry in her eyes was quite conspicuous. “How are you?” asked Xiaoxiao.

Xiao Bing smiled bitterly, “Don’t worry. This won’t kill me.”

“Nobody wants to joke with you.” Xiaoxiao sat on the bed beside him and asked angrily, “How come you hurt so badly? Who did this? Is the law nothing to them?”

“It’s just some small wounds,” said Xiao Bing, smilingly.

“You passed out last night, and you said it was nothing?” Xiaoxiao sounded flurried, “Who did this to you? Did you call the police?”

“The police won’t be able to deal with this.” Looking at Xiaoxiao, Xiao Bing asked, “You’re worrying about me?”

“I…” Xiaoxiao seemed to be flurried. She snorted, “I thought Yezi’s concern is enough for you. How come you need me?”

Xiao Bing suddenly realized the jealousy in her words. He regretted his blurting and did not know what to say next.

Xiaoxiao felt awkward as well, so she instantly changed the topic, “It’s almost noon. Did you eat? Do you need me to buy you lunch?”

Xiao Bing rubbed his belly and put on a bitter smile, “I haven’t had my breakfast!”

“You really don’t know how to take care of yourself.” Xiaoxiao headed toward the door after she said that. She was actually fleeing.

Xiao Bing also felt relieved when she was out. He gently slapped himself in the face and murmured, “Why can’t you be more careful? It’s bad enough to make her misunderstand… Damn. I have failed Peiya and I can’t fail her sister. And most importantly, I need to be faithful to Yezi…”

Xiao Bing calmed himself down. He felt sorry for Xiaoxiao mainly because of her miserable past. He didn’t feel any affection for her as he had when he was with Yezi. It was a feeling that made his heart bump even he just took a glimpse of Yezi. He only felt it when Yezi was around.

The door was opened, and Dumbass stretched from outside. He looked at Xiao Bing who was lying in bed and asked stupidly, “Brother Bing, were you making out with her behind my back?”

“Screw you!” swore Xiao Bing out of anger, “Don’t speak nonsense, especially when you’re in front of Yezi!”

“I’m just asking. You don’t need to be angry… I just wonder why Xiaoxiao ran out with her face flushing?”

Xiao Bing waved his hands, “Just get out. You don’t know it.”

“My mom said I’m dumb, but I’m not stupid. Don’t try to fool me, Pan Jinlian and Xi Menqing….”

Dumbass instantly corrected himself after he saw Xiao Bing glancing at him, “No? Then Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai?”

“Huang Shiren and Yang Bailao?”

Xiao Bing began looking around, seeming to be searching for something to hit Dumbass. Dumbass was not stupid. He instantly fell back and closed the door.

“This silly boy.” Xiao Bing was dumbfounded by him. However, Dumbass was truly a good boy with a pure heart.

A moment later, Xiaoxiao came in with a lunch box. Xiao Bing tried to get up, but he felt sharp pain all over his body, which made him grimace.

“Don’t move. Let me feed you.”

Su Xiaoxiao moved a stool over and sat down. “I’ve never expected that I have to take care of you after I have taken care of my mother. But you’re forgiven since you were in a coma last night. But if anything happens to you next time, you must notify me. I’m not worried about you. I just want to know if I need to get up early and make breakfast the next morning.”

The excuse was as lame as Xiao Bing had thought.

Even Xiaoxiao herself found her words unbelievable, so she instantly stopped speaking. She opened the lunch box. There were vegetables, meat, and rice. Xiaoxiao even bought a spoon in case Xiao Bing had difficulty when eating. He could eat rice with the spoon and eat vegetables and meat with the chopsticks.

“Brother Bing, tell me what happened last night. Who did you offend?”

Obviously, Xiao Bing couldn’t tell her what really was going on. On one hand, he did not want her to be worried. On the other hand, if Su Xiaoxiao knew he was in a fight again, she might lose her temper. Hence, Xiao Bing randomly made up a reason. He said, “Oh, The thing was I ran into a bunch of hooligans with Yezi last night. When I first met Yezi, hooligans were bothering her and I kicked them away. But there were too many of them last night and I had to protect Yezi. So I became this after it…”

Su Xiaoxiao seemed to believe it. She didn’t doubt him and she asked angrily, “What a lame society. How could you meet rascals and hooligans everywhere? You didn’t call the police?”

“I called, and they have been arrested. Don’t worry, the Ye Family has taken care of it and the bad guys will be punished.”

“That’s good.” Su Xiaoxiao was relieved, “People like them must be punished. Otherwise, they will do it again.”

“I agree.”

Then Xiaoxiao finally gave up on this topic. She asked about his wounds and comforted that he might have to stay in the hospital for a couple of days. She comforted him and said that she would check the decoration process of the noodle house from time to time.

Xiao Bing grinned, “The decoration won’t be finished in one or two days. I assume when it’s done, I can get out of the hospital. But it’s good if you can check the process from time to time, in case the workers are slack in work. Dumbass might be busy these days because he needs to be here to accompany me.”

“Okay.” Xiaoxiao took a look at the time and said, “I’m relieved that you are fine. I came here during the lunch break. I planned to take off this afternoon, but since you seem good here, I should probably go back to class. I have missed lots of classes lately. You should have some good rest.”

“Now, go. You’re behind your schedule since auntie got sick. The study is easy to catch up, but your absence might influence your credit.”

“I know. I’ll leave now.”

“Okay, bye.”

Xiao Bing closed his eyes after watching her leave. He felt his spirit lifted. It was perhaps because he just achieved Transforming Strength stage. Though his body was badly injured, he could leave the hospital in a couple of days.

“Peony Fairy, what’s your next plan?” Xiao Bing wondered.

Peony Fairy was sitting in front of Zhu Mingyu’s tombstone. The men behind her did not dare to bother her, keeping a long distance. At this moment, no one would disturb her. They easily noticed the melancholy by a simple glimpse of her back.

No one could have expected that the death of Zhu Mingyu, the man who used to be insulted by her a lot, was such a frustration to her.

“Mingyu, you won’t die for nothing… I will make him pay a price that is more frightening than death… And, I’m sorry…”

After she said it, Peony Fairy raised her hands and gently revealed her veil.
