Chapter 1109 - She Didn’t Want to Leave Him (2/2)
Xia Yanran helped the girl into the SUV. A few minutes later, Xiao Yi arrived at the car with the leader still in his arms. Seeing the unknown girl sitting behind, he glanced at Xia Yanran. “You drive.”
Seeing blood covering Xiao Yi’s hand and the injured girl, Xia Yanran furrowed her eyebrows and said, “I’m not going to the airport anymore. Let’s go to the hospital first!”
…
After they drove away from the group of thieves, Xiao Yi handed that leader to the related authorities. Then, Xia Yanran drove all the way to a hospital in Peace City.
On the way there, the girl fainted from having lost too much blood.
Once they arrived at the hospital, the medical staff hurriedly pushed the girl into the surgery room. Xiao Yi’s left arm had been grazed by a bullet, so after bandaging it, he rested in a ward.
Xia Yanran sat next to him, her heart still thumping when she recalled what happened.
Xiao Yi patted her head. “Since the leader of the thieves has been caught, they’ll probably find their headquarters soon. That means it won’t be so dangerous in the future. However, you should still go back as soon as possible. I’ll talk to the related authorities later and get them to send someone over to bring you to the airport.”
Xia Yanran grabbed Xiao Yi’s well-defined hand, her voice slightly choked. “Why are you always chasing me away? I still have five more days of leave, I don’t want to leave so quickly.”
Xiao Yi stared at her red eyes. “There’s nothing nice to eat here, nothing fun to play and it’s not too safe either…”
Before he could finish speaking, she interrupted him hurriedly. “But you’re here!”
Hearing her words, an urge to tear up swarmed him. His chest felt like continuous electricity had been pumped into him. He pulled her into his arms as he kissed her forehead. “My foolish girl.”
…
After they rested for a while, Xia Yanran went down to buy some water and food.
“Don’t go too far and stay safe.”
“Okay.”
Not too long after Xia Yanran left the room, there was a knock on her door.
Xiao Yi looked up to see a girl holding onto a clutch standing by the door. There were still small wounds on the girl’s face, but it was clear her wounds had been cleaned. Her skin was so fair it s.h.i.+ned, her eyes bright and sparkling. She looked a little like Xia Yanran when she was eighteen or nineteen years old.
Xiao Yi stared at the girl as he dazed out a little. It felt like time had returned to when he saw Xia Yanran for the first time. In a blink of an eye, it had been ten years. His girl had given the best times of her life to him.
Breaking out of his daze, Xiao Yi stared at the girl by the door, his expression cold and stiff. “You are?”
The girl limped into the room. “Sir, I came to find that sister that saved me.”
Ah, so it was that girl that Yanran saved from the gra.s.s earlier.
“She went out to buy some things, you can wait for her outside!”
The girl froze for a second, clearly not expecting for Xiao Yi to be so cold and ungentlemanly.
Xiao Yi closed his eyes, acting like he didn’t know her and didn’t want to talk too much to her. The girl stared at him for a while, before she took a few steps forward as she asked, her tone not very certain, “Can I ask… are you Brother Xiao Yi?”
Xiao Yi opened his eyes, staring at the girl with his dark and deep eyes. “How do you know me?”
“Are you really Brother Xiao Yi? I came to Bardahl… to find you.” Since the girl had received a trauma, her eyes turned red unconsciously. “Do you still remember your Aunt Su Qing?”
At the mention of his aunt, Xiao Yi’s eyes constricted unconsciously as his fingers clenched into tight fists.
His aunt had sold herself to an old man for him and hanged herself when she couldn’t stand the torture anymore, her body ended up being thrown at the back of the mountain.
He would never ever forget the scene of him seeing his aunt being thrown at the back of the mountain.
“Who are you?”
