349 What Should She Do? (1/2)

”Sister Xuxu.”

The little girl was grinning. Her fever had gone down but she still seemed pale and weak.

Xuxu's heart ached when she saw how her body was full of red spots. ”Huanhuan, do you still feel uncomfortable?”

”Nope.” Huanhuan shook her head feebly. ”I'm okay. I don't want the injection and I don't want to take some medicine.”

Xuxu saw how the little girl trembled at the mention of injections. She smiled fondly as she spoke in a reassuring voice, ”Don't be afraid. There won't be any injections.”

”Huanhuan, you're awake.” Jiang Zhuoheng's voice echoed over the room. He had sent Matron Huang off, and as he heard Huanhuan's voice, he rushed back to the room to greet the little girl.

Huanhuan's eyes twinkled and widened in both surprise and happiness when she saw him. ”Brother Ah Heng!”

It felt surreal.

”Yes, it's me.” Jiang Zhuoheng stood next to Xuxu. He then winked at the little girl on the bed.

”This is great. I can see both Sister Xuxu and Brother Ah Heng when I'm sick,” the little girl naively exclaimed.

Xuxu and Jiang Zhuoheng were torn between crying and laughing with the little girl's innocent remark. They were both trying not to give in to the urge of pinching her chubby cheeks.

Coincidentally, both reached out their hands—to pinch Huanhuan's cheeks— and somehow ended up accidentally bumping each other.

Jiang Zhuoheng's hand froze in mid-air while Xuxu retracted hers.

”I'll get a warm towel for Huanhuan to clean her face,” Xuxu said with a smile.

”Okay.” Jiang Zhuoheng nodded and proceeded to lay his hands on Huanhuan's cheeks.

His heart… raced to the clouds when he touched Xuxu's hand earlier.

After Xuxu had wiped Huanhuan's face and fed her with some food, the little girl fell asleep once more.

She sat at the edge of the bed as she carefully tucked the little girl in with a blanket, making sure she was warm and comfortable.
