"Your sister will be really amazing in the future, sheāll protect you very well," Qin Yue gave a thumbs up.
Anāan was thrilled to see her sister being praised and said proudly, "Of course, I will also become really awesome in the future."
A sly smile flickered in Qin Yueās eyes; turns out the little girl likes to hear people praise her sister. From now on, heāll have to cater to this.
"Anāan, Iāll be further studying in the Northern District for a year, so weāve got a long time together!"
Unconsciously, Anāan blushed, wanting to kick him, but because he was sitting low, if she kicked him, sheād surely hit his face, and felt too shy to do it. Sheās all bark and no bite, never really going too far when she hit or scolded someone.
Kicking someone in the face was something she could never do.
"Why are you sitting so low?"
"I need to look up to you." Qin Yue looked besotted, "Our Anāan is beautiful no matter what, especially when looking up."
"Get lost! Whatās so nice about looking up?"
"Youāre the goddess in my heart." Qin Yue didnāt know he was saying the futureās favorite catchphrase of men decades early. His encounters with many foreigners during the Southern Border war stuck this phrase in his mind.
After hearing them talk about the Statue of Liberty, he remembered this phrase.
"What goddess?"
"Uh... just a fairy."
Anāanās face was already thin-skinned, and his brazen compliment made her toes curl up in embarrassment. After stammering for a while, she managed, "You can go now, I want to sleep."
"Kiss me, and Iāll leave."
"Get lost!"
"I wonāt leave if you donāt kiss me."
"Are you leaving or not? If you donāt leave, Iāll go, Iāll go sleep with my sister." Anāan made as if to get out of bed, Qin Yue quickly stood up and gently pushed her back onto the bed.
"Iām leaving, Iāll leave right away, you hurry up and sleep! Only allowed to have sweet dreams, no nightmares."
"Little hooligan..." Anāan was infuriated and about to lose it, but he quickly stole a kiss and left like lightning. His pace was swift yet quiet, as he thoughtfully closed the door for her.
"That bastard!" Anāan wiped her lips, which still had a familiar yet unfamiliar tasteāburning hot, soft texture.
She shook her head, "Stop thinking about it, heās just a bastard, just a hooligan. Keep a distance when seeing him in the future."
********
Sheng Anās injuries werenāt serious. By the next day, he was bouncing around, and after a doctorās check confirmed everything was fine, he was discharged.
"Anāan, did you not sleep well last night?" Sheng Ning noticed her looking a bit absent-minded and asked with concern, "Did you have a nightmare?"
"No, no..." Anāan was a bit guilty and didnāt dare to look people in the eye, cleverly changing the subject: "Sis, why is the little hooligan here too? Isnāt he from the South?"
"The little hooligan? Youāve seen him?" Sheng Ning glanced at her sister meaningfully, silently cursing Qin Yue countless times in her heart. No, once the Living Yama comes out of the ICU, she definitely has to report this.
Hmph! Dirty hooligan, he must have taken advantage of her absence to flirt with her sister.
Truly audacious.
"Mm!" Anāan wrinkled her nose, displeased, "The little hooligan is so annoying."
"I think so too. Oh..." Sheng Ning was about to speak when suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she saw Fatty Zhu coming in with people, so she stopped talking, turned around, and crossed her arms, looking at Fatty Zhu.
President Zhu, from afar, saw Sheng Ning, and surprisingly felt a sense of looking down at the world. He rubbed his eyes and found no, Sheng Ning was just standing quietly, waiting for him to come over.
