âYouâ¦â Qiao Ning was about to lose her temper when she saw two nurses approaching.
She didnât know where they had gone off to. Why did they both leave together?
Qiao Ning shook off Kong Minjuanâs hand, her expression frosty, âAre you done talking? If so, leave now!â
âAlright, Iâll go, you just take careâ¦â Kong Minjuan said meaningfully before leaving with a laugh.
Regardless, ever since Chai Xiyang fell ill, her mood had been quite good.
With Kong Minjuan gone, Qiao Ning frowned and asked the nurses, âWhere did you two go? Donât you know youâre supposed to keep at least one person here at all times?â
The nurses apologized, âSorry, we were just grabbing a bite to eat together. We hadnât eaten all day, we were so hungry, soâ¦â
âMiss Qiao, we only left because we saw you were here.â The other nurse chimed in with an explanation.
Qiao Ning calmly replied, âLet it go this time, but it canât happen again.â
âWe understand, thank you.â The two nurses hurriedly went off to work.
Qiao Ning didnât go inside, she simply sat down again, feeling inexplicably downhearted.
After a while, one of the nurses called out in surprise, âMiss Qiao, Young Master Chai has woken up!â
Qiao Ningâs heart leaped with joy, but she didnât dare to get too close once she entered. She knew Chai Xiyang didnât want to see her.
âBig Brother, how are you feeling now?â She asked anxiously.
Chai Xiyangâs gaze fell onto her bandaged right hand, and he suddenly asked with concern, âIs it serious?â
Qiao Ning was taken aback and didnât react immediately.
Then, stunned, she shook her head, âNo, itâs nothing serious. A minor wound, not serious at all!â
Chai Xiyangâs gaze shifted to her face, his voice surprisingly softer than usual, âQiao Ning, youâve worked hard these past days.â
Qiao Ning opened her eyes wide in disbelief. She couldnât believe he would say those words to her!
And yet, Chai Xiyangâs attitude toward her had indeed changed.
He no longer spoke coldly to her, and was often showing her concern. Sometimes, he even couldnât help grooming her hair.
All his little actions told Qiao Ning that he cared for her, and had started being nicer to her.
From the start, Qiao Ning felt like she had won the lottery. Every day was filled with a kind of unreal joy.
She had no idea why Chai Xiyangâs attitude had changed.
Maybe she had touched him with her perseverance. Maybe he felt guilty for hurting her, or perhaps he had let goâ¦
No matter how, Chai Xiyang no longer disliked her. This made her so happy; she felt so much more alive each day.
Chai Xiyang didnât have much of an appetite lately, so Qiao Ning used many different methods to prepare the things he liked to eat.
When they were kids, their favorite snack was roasted sweet potatoes.
So Qiao Ning baked some in the oven. The delicious aroma of roasted sweet potatoes soon filled the room.
âBig Brother, come try some, I bet theyâre delicious!â Qiao Ning walked over with a plate of sweet potatoes, placed it on the bedside table, and peeled one to reveal its orange flesh.
She passed the spoon to Chai Xiyang, her smile brilliant, âQuick, eat it while itâs hot. Thatâs when itâs the tastiest!â
Chai Xiyang took the spoon, giving her an enchanting, gentle smile.
However, his first scoop was for her. His voice was deep and pleasant, âOpen your mouth.â
Qiao Ning was slightly stunned and her cheeks flushed. She bashfully declined, âYou should eat it, I baked it for you.â
âLetâs eat together. You go first.â Chai Xiyang insisted, his gaze gentle. It was as if he was treating her very well, completely doting on her.
