Chu Liyuan was just ready to start the car when Jian Danâs mobile phone rangâ¦
âHello, Xiaoting, we only parted ways yesterday, and today you miss me already?â
âJian~â
From the other end of the call came Xiaotingâs sobbing voice.
Jian Dan immediately dropped the joking tone and his expression turned serious. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âXiaoting, whatâs wrong? Did something happen?â Jian Danâs first thought was that her brother had encountered trouble.
âMy brother⦠he⦠heâs had an accidentâ¦â
As expected~
âXiaoting, donât cry. Where are you right now?â
âJian, can you come over now? My brother he wants to see you!â
âOkay, send me your location! Iâm on my way!â Jian Dan didnât even have time to ask for the reason. âUncle, letâs not go home first, weâre going here!â Jian Dan input the location into the carâs GPS.
The car slowly startedâ¦
Why would Xiaotingâs brother want to see me? Jian Dan wondered.
But at the very least, Xiaotingâs brother should still be alive.
Uncleâs driving skills were unquestionable, and they arrived at the location sent by Xiaoting in a very short time.
No sooner had Jian Dan gotten out of the car than Xiaoting hugged her tightly, crying. Jian Dan, seeing her swollen red eyes, knew she must have been crying for a long while.
Jian Dan hugged her, gently patting Xiaotingâs back with one hand. âHowâs your brother doing?â
âMy brother⦠heâ¦â Xiaoting could hardly speak anymore.
Just then, thankfully, Sister Zimo came out. âLass, Old Eight wants to see you!â
Old Eight? Who is Old Eight now?
It wasnât until I went inside that I found out Old Eight was the nickname for Xiaotingâs brother.
Jian Dan saw a lean man with a gunshot wound to his abdomen, lying on the bed, his complexion particularly pale from too much blood loss, even his lips had lost their color.
Jian Dan slowly approached the bedsideâ¦
The eyes that were once closed slowly opened.
They were a nice pair of eyes, even though they were single-lidded, but there was an indescribable beauty to them.
âAre you Jian Dan?â The pale lips moved slightly.
It was clear that speaking was a struggle for him.
âI am!â
âThank you~â He had a lot of words of gratitude to tell Jian Dan, but his situation did not allow him to do so.
Of course, Jian Dan knew what he meant. âItâs nothing, Xiaoting is a friend of mine too.â
âIf I donât make it, I hope you can look after Xiaoting for me!â He said with all the strength he could muster.
âBro, donât talk like this, youâre going to be fine!â Xiaoting threw herself at the side of her brotherâs bed, clinging tightly to his hand, tears streaming uncontrollably from her eyes like rainâ¦
Old Eight made an effort to lift his arm and gently touched Xiaotingâs hair, his eyes full of tenderness.
âHe must have surgery now!â Yun reminded from the side.
âOkay! Letâs step outside!â Jian Dan pulled Xiaoting up. âXiaoting, letâs go outside!â
âBro, I wonât leave you!â
âXiaoting, if you want him to live, you need to leave!â
After hearing Jian Danâs words, Xiaoting calmed down a bit.
Before leaving, Jian Dan turned her head slowly and spoke to Old Eight. âIf you love your sister, you will pull through! Her future is your responsibility!â
Watching the door close, Xiaotingâs tears broke loose again, crying aloud on Jian Danâs shoulder.
âXiaoting, donât worry, your brother wonât have any problems!â
âReally? Iâm really scared! Iâm afraid of losing him!â Xiaoting looked up into Jian Danâs eyes.
âYes! Because he loves you, and those who love you wonât easily leave you!
Right, Uncle~â
âRight!â
âXiaoting, did you hear that? Uncle said so.
Your brother will be just fine!â
Xiaoting looked at Jian Dan and nodded emphaticallyâ¦
