725 To The Hospital
"Ah! Zizi, it's hurting!"
"Dad! We are not kids anymore!"
Xin Zimen scoffed at them, "Then don't behave like kids as well. How many times are you both gonna start a fight?"
Ying tried to free her ear as she said, "We rarely even get into an argument."
Xiao Li also agreed, "Exactly!"
"Do you both think I'm an idiot? You both are as devious as a wolf luring in the red riding hood. Even when you both talk, you're throwing jabs at each other." Both of them lowered their eyes and didn't retaliate. "Now, you have started throwing some real punches. Don't forget this is a hospital!"
"Dad, why don't you let us go first? We won't even make a sound now," Xiao Li said solemnly.
"Yes, yes. We won't! I promise," Ying went along with his words.
Xin Zimen exhaled a long breath and loosened his grip on their ears. "I better not see you both fooling around again." They both could hear the warning tone, so they both didn't say anything else. Just glared at each other and looked away. Xin Zimen looked at other people staring at them and forced out a polite smile helplessly, "They just love acting like kids."
"Mom, Dad, why don't you both go home to rest for a while?" suggested Nora. "You both took long flights and didn't even rest before rushing here. You should really take some rest or Xiu won't be happy."
Clara and Jing Ge looked at each other and saw the same reluctance to leave in each other's eyes. However, Nora didn't give up just yet, "I'm here with her. I am not going anywhere. I'll take good care of her."
"Fine. But you stay with her. We'll be back soon," said Clara.
"I'm here," replied Nora.
Following her lead, Ying also said, "Zizi, you should also go home to rest. In fact, all of you should go now. None of you even changed clothes. Go home to get recharge and then you can all come back again. Or it's even better if we take turns. For now, I'll be staying here with Nora."
"Oh, that's good!" Nora also agreed with Ying.
"Only you two would be staying?" said Xiao Li. "How about I stay as well?"
Ying pushed him away saying, "The first person to leave should be you! Get lost already! And get some sleep!"
"But..."
Before anyone could continue, another voice came, "You can rest assured. I'll give the girls company here."
"What are you doing here?" Ying asked as she looked at Han Bohai with a frown.
Han Bohai had yet to reply when Xiao Li pulled at father's arm and said, "Let's go! Now, we are not needed at all!"
"It seems like it," agreed Xin Zimen.
"Uncle and aunt, both of you should also come with us."
"Why?" questioned Xin Zimen. "Why should they come with us? They can go to their home!"
Before Xin Zimen could say anything, Xin Zemin smiled at his nephew, "How can I say no to my nephew's invitation? Let's go!"
Zimen looked at his brother who intentionally agreed but stayed quiet this time. But before leaving, he pulled Ying to a side and instructed, "Don't leave even for a minute until I come back."
Ying frowned, "I won't but what's up?"
Zimen looked towards Xiu's door and said, "She revealed her identity in a high profile way. If there was a murder attempt when her identity wasn't even clear, I'm all the more certain she is not safe now."
"I also thought so," said Ying. She had been thinking about this.
"I have people keeping watch but you need to be alert as well. Don't let her get hurt again."
"I'll do my best," replied Ying. "You can relax and leave it to me. I'll be sure to protect her well this time."
"I hope this time you really protect her well and it won't end up like last time."
Ying pursed her lips as he reminded her of the time when she was supposed to follow Xiu in secret and ended up getting distracted in the process which led Xiu to the hospital. Now that she thinks about it, it seems Xiu really has some strange relationship with hospitals.
Seeing off everyone, Nora slouched down on the seats in the corridor as she said, "These parents really exhausted me!"
Ying who was trying to push Han Bohai said to Nora, "They are all possessive."
Nora nodded her head, "Yes, they are!! And I can't even say anything because I'm just like them." She looked at Han Bohai and said, "Didn't you go home to rest?"
"I did," replied Han Bohai.
"Then why do you look so tired? You didn't sleep?"
Han Bohai was quiet as he pressed his lips together. He blinked his eyes and changing his expressions instantly, he slid close to Ying again, "I was missing my girlfriend so much that I couldn't catch a wink of sleep without her in my arms."
"As if every night you have me in your arms," snorted Ying.
"I do want to have you in my arms every night," said Han Bohai cheekily.
Ying knocked on his head, "Why is your brain always on the wrong track?"
"It's called love track. There is no such thing as right or wrong on this track."
"If you said another word, I'm gonna beat you."
"I'm always ready for that," was his eager reply.
"Argh! Why are you like this?"
"Stop it!" exclaimed Nora irritably. "I get it that you both are in love, but please, this is a hospital. I really can't take this lover's banter."
"Who loves him?"
"You do!" said both Nora and Han Bohai.
"I don't," denied Ying before she leaned her head against the wall behind her and closed her eyes.
