"Xiao Ning, donāt cry. Anāan is fine."
"Iām not crying," Sheng Ning argued. "I didnāt even think about crying." Sigh! She didnāt know what was wrong with her, why she wanted to cry! Tears were becoming less and less valuable.
"Alright, alright! You werenāt crying, okay!" Xu Qigang coaxed, "I must have been seeing things, Anāan, were you seeing things too?"
"Ah?" Receiving a look from her brother-in-law, Anāan hurriedly nodded, "I... I was seeing things too." Brother-in-law treated her sister so well.
"Are you alright now? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? Does your head still hurt?" Xu Qigang asked.
"It doesnāt hurt anymore."
"Do you remember what happened before you fainted?"
"I remember!" Anāan blinked, and the image of Hai Yunfeng appeared in her mind. She said doubtfully, "I fainted when I saw that uncle in the rescue suit."
Just then, Principal Feng came in and, hearing Anāanās words, angrily rolled up his sleeves. "See, I said it was Hai Yunfengās responsibility, and he wouldnāt admit it. Watch me go settle accounts with him."
"But itās not his fault, itās my own problem," Anāan said, troubled, as she tapped her head with her hand, "I feel that somewhere here, thereās a collapsed corner, thatās why I passed out."
"Collapsed?"
"Collapsed?"
Xu Qigang pressed his lips together without a word, while Sheng Ning and Principal Feng simultaneously questioned, "What does ācollapsedā mean?"
Anāan closed her eyes, her expression focused and almost reverent as she said, "In my mind, thereās a palace that Iāve been building since I was a child. But after the palace was finished, there was a corner I couldnāt open. Just now, I remembered, the corner is collapsed, thatās why it wouldnāt open..."
She went on and on, leaving most people half-understanding. But it was clear to one person: her brain was truly like a vast palace. Principal Feng looked at Anāan as if she were a treasure.
Anāan felt a chill from his gaze.
No way, once she was back at school, she had to tell Xiao Li that her dad had a problemāa very abnormal look to him.
Once it was certain Anāan was fine, Dean Guo came to chase everyone out. She was quite a hassle, and shouldnāt waste medical resources for no reason.
In the end, Sheng Ning was reluctant to part with her sister and asked the principal for a day off, planning to send Anāan back to school the day after tomorrow.
When the three of them returned home, Sheng Ning insisted on sleeping with Anāan, leaving Xu Qigang alone in the room.
"Xiao Ning." Xu Qigang waited outside the bathroom, his eyes bright as he watched his little wife come out. "Anāan needs her rest, wouldnāt it be uncomfortable for you to squeeze into one bed with her?"
"Itās fine."
"What about me?" He pulled her into a hug, leading her into their room and closing the door, then turning her against the door. "What about me?"
"What do you mean, what about you?" Sheng Ning wanted to laugh but was afraid of making someone angry.
Xu Qigang leaned closer to her neck, his warm breath caressing her delicate skin, making her tremble.
"Darling, just spare me once!" As King Yan fully recovered, she felt like her own life was about to end.
The neighbors were all talking about how she rarely went out these days, damn it! What was she supposed to go out for!
Hearing this, Xu Qigang chuckled deeply as he leaned on her.
The little wife had indeed been working hard recently, but he simply couldnāt help himself.
