Chapter 560: Chapter 561: Donât You Remember Me? Chapter 560: Chapter 561: Donât You Remember Me? However, thatâs how it is with children; sometimes, even if you know they are talking nonsense, as an adult, you still play along as much as possible.
So the usually stern Ji Dong did indeed play along with Xiaoâaiâs âshockingâ prediction at the bedside.
âDoes uncle have any wishes? Xiaoâai is willing to help me, right?â
Ji Dong had just been teasing the little girl when he said this, but who knew the little one would start pondering seriously after hearing it.
Ji Dong found it quite amusing.
He now understood why the group captain, Tang Zelin, would boast about how smart and cute his child was wherever he went.
Now, he thought it wasnât an exaggeration at all.
Those big eyes twinkling with thought were just too adorable.
It seemed the little tyke had figured something out and suddenly popped out a phrase like a little adult.
âCan.â
Uh, what can?
Ji Dong was stunned for a moment before he realized, and with a smirk, said, âThe little girl is quite righteous. Well then, let uncle thinkâŠâ
âMm.â Xiaoâai responded cutely.
Ji Dong was considering asking for a simple wish that a child could fulfill.
Unexpectedly, a crisp voice rang out at the door.
âJi⊠Lieutenant Ji?â
Ji Dong, upon hearing this, looked up toward the door.
Standing there was a young girl, about fourteen or fifteen, pretty and charming, looking somewhat familiar.
âHmm, Lieutenant Ji doesnât recognize me?
Ji Dongâs eyes widened as he remembered.
The girl standing before him was none other than the girl he had carried from downstairs to the upstairs ward for treatment.
âYou are⊠that one?â
Seeing he remembered, the otherâs crisp voice said with a laugh, âYou remember? Iâm Bai Qinghuan, Ji Dong brother, you can call me Qinghuan.â
Yes, thatâs the name.
Seeing someone familiar, the chill that had suddenly risen in Ji Dong dissipated quietly, relaxing him.
He sized her up; when he had last seen her, she was weak and unable to support herself physically, especially with the swelling on her face from being hit, but now, the young girl standing before him was clearly healthy.
It made him quite surprised, and he looked at her legs.
âMiss Bai, is your injury alright?â
Bai Qinghuan, seeing his gentle demeanor, came inside.
She smiled slightly, âMm, much better, though it still needs slow healing, but it has improved a lot, as you can see Iâm walking with no problem now.â
âMm, good to hear itâs alright.â
Facing someone not very familiar, Ji Dong often didnât know what to say.
However, the young girlâs lively and cheerful demeanor was quite different from the state he had seen her in before.
If she felt like a reed back then, she now seemed like a sunflower.
Bai Qinghuan, seeing the child lying in the hospital bed, had a flicker of surprise in her eyes.
âIs this⊠Lieutenant Jiâs baby?â
Ji Dongâs brows twitched slightly as he corrected her, âNo, this is the group captainâs.â
âSu Shuâs?â Bai Qinghuan was somewhat surprised.
Hadnât Su Shu just married Captain Tang not long ago? And they already had such a big child?
Ji Dong was also puzzled; if he remembered correctly, the room Bai Qinghuan was in housed Wild Wolfâs elderly, right?
Could people of Wild Wolf not know about the group captain Tang Zelinâs household situation?
They had attended the wedding banquet and had been living in the same ward for a while; how could they not know?
However, Ji Dong didnât think too much about it.
His first impression was that Bai Qinghuan was the group captainâs wife, and thus, Su Shuâs friend.
With this in mind, he became more polite and courteous toward her.
