“Of course!” Long Xiaoxi beat him in answering, her chubby face full of righteousness as she spoke. “I like Yiheng, and he likes me too. When I grow up, I’ll be marrying Yiheng and he’ll marry me too! Do you even need to ask this?”

“I wasn’t even asking you.” Wen Yuechan darted a glance at her. “There’s no need for you to answer.”

“I was answering it as Yiheng’s fiancée!” Long Xiaoxi suddenly thought of this word she’d learned and blurted it out. “We’ve long made our vows already.”

“Fiancée?” s.h.i.+ Bao’er started bursting into laughter upon hearing this. “I can’t take this, this is hilarious! Jin Yiheng hadn’t even answered, and you’re so anxious to answer.”

At this point, Coach Chen Xu approached them. “I told you guys to call those two to eat, what’s taking all of you so long?”

“Coach, Jin Yiheng has slept with Long Xiaoxi. Long Xiaoxi said she’s Jin Yiheng’s fiancée and will marry him when she grows up.”

Seeing that they were all children and were probably just playing “house,” Chen Xu was unbothered by it. “Come, let’s all go to the cafeteria to eat.”

“Coach, Jin Yiheng hasn’t answered Long Xiaoxi. Right, Yuechan?”

Wen Yuechan nodded and used her crisp and clear voice to reply, “Yes. Yiheng, answer the question, won’t you?”

Jin Yiheng looked at Long Xiaoxi at one side and thought of how she had previously started to ignore him because of Wen Yuechan and really did not play with him anymore. On the other hand, she started growing closer to her Brother Minhe and got angry just now after she drank the sweet liquor. Now, if he were to say something else to provoke her, she would probably get even more furious.

“That’s right, I like Xiaoxi, and I’ve agreed to marry her when we’ve grown up. She’ll become my bride in the future.”

When he heard this, Chen Xu’s matured heart started palpitating in shock. He couldn’t help but think to himself, Do all kids nowadays mature so quickly?

Wen Yuechan seemed to be in disbelief over his answer. She had thought that she and Jin Yiheng were playing together rather happily all along, and he had seldom ever mentioned Long Xiaoxi either or played with her. Little did she expect that…

Even until they were inside the cafeteria, she kept silent and ate only a little before returning to the dormitory.

When s.h.i.+ Bao’er returned, she saw Wen Yuechan crying in a corner. “Yuechan, what happened?”

“Bao’er…” She cried as she looked up at her, her face covered in tears. “I like Yiheng, but how is it possible that he likes Long Xiaoxi, that fatso?”

“That’s right, it didn’t make sense to me either. Is there something wrong with Jin Yiheng’s taste…? Then again, I think his feelings for her are only as a little sister. I mean, other than having a great appet.i.te, what other virtues does Long Xiaoxi have? None at all. She’s not like you: you’re good in your studies, pretty, and have a good body too. You’ll beat her in every way easily. We’re all still children now, but when we grow up, Jin Yiheng will know how stupid his words today were. Don’t worry, Long Xiaoxi will be an idiot whom n.o.body wants when she grows up. When Jin Yiheng grows up, he’ll definitely not like her as well. We’ll just have to wait and see.”

Hearing her words of consolation, Wen Yuechan instantly felt a little better. “But I still feel very much upset.”

“Do you want me to help you take it out on her?”

“Don’t, her brother will definitely beat us up.”

“Idiot, we’ll just have to not let her brother see. We’ll start bas.h.i.+ng her face up and breaking all her teeth.”

Wen Yuechan thought of the previous time Long Wenlun had beaten up s.h.i.+ Bao’er and shook her head, remarking, “Forget it, I don’t dare to do it.”

“Look at how timid you are.”

Wen Yuechan lowered her head. “I can’t be compared to you. This training camp was opened by your uncle’s family. Even if you beat up Long Xiaoxi, her parents won’t be able to complain much. However, I can’t. If I were to beat her up, I’ll possibly be kicked out of here. In this way, I can’t match up to Long Xiaoxi.”

s.h.i.+ Bao’er was rendered speechless because what she said was completely the truth.

—

s.h.i.+ Xiaoyu had gone crazy for real.

When An Xiaoning heard this news from s.h.i.+ Qingzhou, she was not in the least surprised because that woman’s two sons were both dead. Who on earth could take such a blow?

Despite that, it didn’t mean that she deserved sympathy.

She had used her own method to lock s.h.i.+ Qingzhou up in a hidden chamber for more than thirty years, and she had treated a few others the same way. It was only that the retribution for her actions came rather quickly for her.

Everyone had to be responsible for their own actions.

Including her.

An Xiaoning had long thought that she herself had caused much bloodshed as well and would probably not have any happy ending in this life.

But, as compared to her previous lifetime, she did not regret a thing she did in this life.

She would grab onto anything she wanted and, one by one, carry out any act of revenge she wanted to.

“What’s on your mind?”

“I’m thinking that I too probably won’t have any good ending in this lifetime.”

Henry was perplexed. “Who would think such a thing of themselves?”

“I would.” Out of habit, she lay there with her hands supporting her chin. “I don’t care, though. As long as I’m still alive, I’ll live a brilliant life. Sometimes, even when you don’t plan to kill others, they actually harbor the intention to harm you. Isn’t that right?”

“I want to get out and take a breather.”

“Alright, you’ve been cooped up in the ward for a few days already anyway. Let me get you the wheelchair.”

The quality of the wheelchairs provided by the hospital depended on the ranking of the ward. The normal wards were provided only with normal wheelchairs while the VIP wards were provided with exceptionally good wheelchairs.

An Xiaoning pushed the wheelchair in and used all of her strength to carry him onto the wheelchair.

Bringing along two bodyguards, An Xiaoning brought him to the courtyard in the hospital, allowing him to rest at a quieter and more secluded spot.

“Indeed, the air is fresher here compared to that inside the ward.”

“That’s naturally the case. It’s far bigger here than inside the ward.”

“If I hadn’t said that I wanted to come out, would you even have thought of bringing me out? To think you said you’d take care of me. I think you want to torture me, that seems more to be the case.”

“You want to know what torture really is?”

He noticed a burning desire from her eyes and answered seriously, “Nope, I don’t.”

“Then, shut up.”

“Alright.”

With one of them sitting on the long bench to play with her phone and the other playing with his phone on the wheelchair, the atmosphere would have continued to remain quiet throughout if they had not spotted someone taking pictures of them discreetly a distance away.

It was An Xiaoning who discovered someone fis.h.i.+ng out a phone from a distance away, and she quickly whispered to him the next moment, “There’s someone taking pictures of us from a distance away. Quick, put away your phone.”

Henry looked up and, realizing that it was indeed true, he hurriedly put his phone into the pocket of his hospital uniform.

An Xiaoning pushed his wheelchair to face her and reached out to grab his hand, asking with a wide grin, “Are you hungry?”

“Yes.”

“What would you like to eat?”

“Would you buy for me… whatever I want to eat?”

She blinked her eyes before replying, “It depends on the situation. If it’s something like fried chicken or beer, then you can forget about it.”

“Then, why did you still ask me what I wanted to eat? You already know that you won’t buy for me whatever I want to eat.”

“Since you’ve no preference, then I’ll let Auntie Chen make the decision for you.” She called Fan s.h.i.+xin and asked, “When will the food be sent over?”

“It’s been sent over already.”

“We’re in the courtyard, under the pavilion at the southern side.”

“Alright, I’ll inform the one sending the meal.”

“Okay.”
