"Eh? Why are you crying?"
Ning Xixi blinked, meeting his clear, washed-out eyes, and Yan Yichen was at a loss for words.
Having outwitted many, he considered himself unbeatable, but he couldn’t figure out why he couldn’t bring himself to say a harsh word to this girl.
"Sorrowful words can make one cry, right?"
"I won’t cry, I believe that Dabai will definitely be fine!" Ning Xixi said with certainty.
Yan Yichen chuckled, "Even the doctors don’t dare say that, where does your confidence come from?"
"Because he is Ji Yebai."
He is the best, the most excellent, the most incredible person in this world; he is her hero, he will definitely be all right!
The soft voice of the young girl made Yan Yichen’s heart melt.
"For you, he will certainly make it through."
Ning Xixi sniffled and said nothing.
Yan Yichen grew anxious, "What’s wrong?"
Could it be that he upset the girl somehow?
Ah, girls are really troublesome.
"That day, he saved me." Ning Xixi was full of self-reproach, "He ordered his men to protect me and escape, but he stayed at the scene... If I had stayed and he had escaped, maybe he wouldn’t have suffered such a serious gunshot wound..."
Yan Yichen frowned, "He wouldn’t do that!"
Noticing Ning Xixi’s surprised look, Yan Yichen’s face was stern, "A coward would leave a woman behind and run away himself! Ji Yebai is different; he is a man! It’s precisely because he protected you that I, Yan Yichen, feel that he is my brother! If he had abandoned you to run first, I’d be the first to look down on him!"
Ning Xixi bit her lip, her expression complicated.
"A man should protect the land beneath his feet and the woman behind him!" Yan Yichen grabbed her shoulders, "Don’t blame yourself, don’t be melodramatic, and don’t foolishly think that you are the cause of Ji Yebai’s misfortune. What you need to do is wait for Ji Yebai to wake up, thank him, and not wallow in self-pity, feeling like you’re the world’s greatest sinner!"
Ning Xixi nodded earnestly, "I will, thank you for telling me all this."
"No need for thanks with me, but tell me, why are you so afraid of me?"
"Afraid? Am I?"
"Yes, especially when Ji Yebai is not around, you distinctly avoid me. When have I ever bullied you?" Yan Yichen was puzzled.
Ning Xixi recalled for a moment, "Probably a childhood trauma, when you were younger, you stole my lollipop... and made me take the blame for you..."
Yan Yichen had long forgotten about that incident, and upon hearing it, he guiltily touched his nose.
"Cough cough... The surgery should be about done; I’ll accompany you upstairs." What a slip of the tongue! Who asked him about that!
Ning Xixi’s attention was successfully diverted, "Okay."
...
The elevator stopped at the 11th floor.
Yan Yichen and Ning Xixi walked side by side to the outside of Ji Yebai’s hospital room.
The surgery was over.
At this moment, he was lying in the ICU, and through the clear glass, she could see him with eyes tightly shut, still in a coma.
"Dabai..." Ning Xixi leaned against the glass, reaching out her hand towards him, attempting to touch him, but in vain.
A pane of glass separated them.
"Xixi, I’m sorry I haven’t been able to take care of you these past few days," Ji’s mother came over, apologetically saying.
She took an envelope out of her handbag, holding back tears, "This is for you... left by Yebai..."
