Li Le and Jian Shu came out first.

Before Ming Shu was found, Jian Shu stayed at the site in spite of the injuries on his body.

After Ming Shu and Ye West Wind came out, he followed them to the hospital.

Ming Shu was sent to the ICU the moment she arrived.

“Xixi...” Ye West Wind stood in the cold corridor and looked at Jian Shu who was as haggard as him. “She...”

He tried for a long time but didn’t manage to finish the sentence.

Jian Shu sat on the chair along the corridor. He covered his face so no emotions could be seen.

His mind was filled with the doctor’s words.

“She must undergo surgery now.”

“If you delay it any longer, she will only be able to live for another half a year.”

The heart transplant surgery was not perfected in this era yet. The survival rate was low.

However, this was not a problem. They could always do the surgery overseas.

The most important problem was, there was no donor.

“If she doesn’t do the surgery, she will not be able to live, right?

“Brother Jian Shu, say something.”

Jian Shu raised his head and looked at the young man in front of him. He opened his mouth after some time and said in a hoarse voice, “Yes.”

If she doesn’t do the surgery, she will die.

Ye West Wind felt empty.

...

Jian Shu didn’t tell Father Jian and Du Wanyu that Ming Shu was in the hospital. He found an excuse for them.

However, he was unable to hide the fact that an explosion occurred on the construction site. Father Jian was puzzled so after some investigation, he found out what happened to Ming Shu.

Jian Shu couldn’t hide the news from Father Jian but he would definitely not tell Du Wanyu about it.

Ming Shu stayed in the ICU for a few days before moving to a normal ward.

Jian Shu never talked about what happened that day. He was afraid that Ming Shu would get another attack.

Jian Xi brought the soup into the ward. Something flashed past Ming Shu. Jian Shu looked around the ward curiously. “Xixi, how do you feel?”

“Hungry.” I am starving.

Jian Shu scooped out the soup and blew on it slowly to cool it down.

Ming Shu looked at him intently. “Brother, your saliva is going into my food.”

Jian Shu: “...”

Jian Shu took a spoonful of soup and fed it to Ming Shu. Ming Shu tasted the soup and wanted to take the bowl.

Jian Shu shrunk back. “I will feed you.”

Ming Shu: “...”

Jian Shu felt that Ming Shu’s gaze was the same as when he snatched her toys when they were young.

Jian Shu found it funny, but he still continued to feed her.

Ming Shu felt irritated as she ate her food. Can’t you let me finish it in one gulp!

Don’t people always drink their soup in a single gulp?!

Jian Shu heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Ming Shu in a good mood. He was afraid that she would keep everything inside her just like last time. That would not be good for her health.

“What happened to Han Ying?”

Ming Shu remembered the mastermind behind all this.

Jian Shu didn’t want to talk about this person, but since Ming Shu asked, he summarized it for her. “He was caught on the spot. All the evidence is against him.”

Li Meng and Han Ying should be in this together.

However, luring Ming Shu over was Li Meng’s own idea.

Since Han Ying was caught, Li Meng would not be able to run away.

“Ye West Wind is outside. Shall I call him in so that you can have a chat?” Jian Shu cleared up the things as he asked Ming Shu.

Besides Father Jian and him, Ye West Wind was the one who visited Ming Shu the most.

Ming Shu chewed her sweet and nodded after a while.

That time...

If it wasn’t for Ye West Wind, she wouldn’t be able to escape with the help from Little Beastie.

Jian Shu went out to call Ye West Wind. Ye West Wind popped his head in. When he met Ming Shu’s gaze, he shrunk his head back and banged into the door frame. It was a loud bang.

Ye West Wind held his head as he walked in.

“Xixi...”

“Thank you.”

“... No, no need to thank me,” Ye West Wind stammered.

He didn’t expect Ming Shu to thank him.

The ward became quiet. The atmosphere got awkward.

Ye West Wind looked around the room. He didn’t know where he should rest his eyes.

“Xixi...” He called her softly. “Do you want anything now?”

“Snacks?”

“Erm... besides that?”

Ming Shu remailed silent. She slowly shook her head.

Even if I tell you, you will not be able to find it.

Ming Shu touched her chest.

She didn’t know where to find it either...

“Oh.” Ye West Wind thought for a while. “I will bring you good food the next time I come.”

The doctor told him that she needed to watch her diet so he had to go and ask the doctor first.

“There is no point in wasting time on me.”

Ye West Wind got a shock. He slowly clenched his fist. “Xixi... I don’t hope to get anything from you and I don’t need you to give me anything, either. I just hope that you will not reject me. Just take it that we are... friends.”

He raised his head and looked at Ming Shu. “You said that we need to know when to give up some things. However, some things are not that easy to let go of.

“Xixi... I will come and see you tomorrow...”

Ye West Wind rushed out of the ward as if someone was chasing him.

When he stepped out of the ward, he took a deep breath.

His heart was hurting.

However, when Xixi had an attack, she would be in greater pain.

Jian Shu patted his shoulder. Ye West Wind looked at him with a puzzled expression. “Brother Jian Shu, what kind of guy do you think Xixi would like?”

What kind of guy would she like...

Jian Shu never thought about this before.

In the past, he felt that since his little sister was so close to Ye West Wind, they might get together.

But now...

He didn’t even dare to think about Xixi’s future.

The two people didn’t know what to say so Ye West Wind left and went home.

“You’re back?” His stepmother heard the noise and came out of the kitchen.

Ye West Wind said that his stepmother treated him badly, but that was not the case. His stepmother actually treated him quite well, but he was unwilling to accept her.

Ye West Wind walked up without saying anything. His stepmother was used to this so she turned around and went back into the kitchen.

“Aunt Qing, can you teach me how to make soup?”

His stepmother got a fright. She turned back and looked at the young man that was standing at the entrance of the kitchen. He stared at her with a serious face.

“Sure... sure...” His stepmother didn’t know what to do. “Why do you want to learn this? You are a boy, you don’t have to...”

“Sorry to trouble you.”

The boy interrupted her and walked into the kitchen. He looked as though he wanted to start learning immediately.

His stepmother was stunned.

However, she recovered quickly and taught him the basics first. Then, she let him experiment himself and rushed out to call Father Ye.

There was something wrong with this child.

Father Ye heard that his son seemed to be in a bad state and hurried over instantly.

Father Ye questioned his wife the moment he entered the house.

“Where is he?”

His wife pointed at the kitchen. “He is inside.”

Boom!

Someone smashed onto the floor.

Father Ye and his wife exchanged glances with each other and ran into the room.

The boy was standing in the middle of a mess. He seemed down and emotionless.

“West Wind...” Father Ye tried to call him.

The boy suddenly raised his fist and punched the counter. There were knives on the counter.

Father Ye was bewildered. He went up and pulled his son. “Little rascal, what is wrong with you?”

“West Wind, if you have anything on your mind, you can tell us. Your father and I will help you,” his stepmother said hurriedly.

“Why am I so stupid?” Ye West Wind’s eyes turned red. “Why can’t I learn something so simple?”

Father Ye: “...”

His stepmother: “...”
