Chapter 896: Attack Moves
"Ge, don't you think you're looking for friends in the wrong generation?" asked Xiang Wai when she finally noticed the interaction between Justin and Xiang Weimin. Her brother obviously wasn't someone who would initiate to make friends.
Xiang Weimin kept his head down as he continued to draw something on the electronic board in his hands as he replied to his sister, "When it comes to friendship, there is no such thing as the wrong generation."
"Is it okay for you two to make me feel like the dumb sibling?" asked Xiang Wai. "I know I'm the middle child but stop squeezing me. You both are like bread while I'm the bloody jam stuck between you two."
"Your presence makes the bread seem more appealing," said Xiang Weimin.
"Ge!"
Xiang Weimin looked up at her, "What? Why are you getting so worked up?"
"Perhaps because we are taking her time. She'd rather spend this time with someone else."
Xiang Wai looked at Raelle, "I did not think you're this kind of a person."
"Then you should start re-evaluating me," replied Raelle. She stood up to leave and ended up looking at what Xiang Weimin had been drawing, "You're good at drawing, Lieutenant."
Xiang Weimin looked down at the drawing he did and looked back up at Raelle, "You sure about that?"
"Sure!" replied Raelle.
Little Justin curiously stood up and walked to Xiang Weimin's side. He looked at the screen and his eyes brightened. Xiang Weimin had actually chosen to draw a cute little Groot in a pot. It looked adorable. And although Justin was quiet and withdrawn unlike others his age, he was still a kid who was attracted to such cartoon characters.
He was very happy to see it and couldn't help staring at it.
"It seems Justin also likes it," said Raelle. She looked at the time and added, "I should be leaving now. My husband must have been back and if he didn't see me in the ward, he might lose his mind. So... How about you both help me send Justin back to his mother's ward?"
"I'll do it," offered Xiang Weimin.
"You're very proactive today, Lieutenant but I like it," said Raelle. "Little one, I'll see you later. You follow this uncle to your mother, okay?"
Justin blinked at her but agreed. Of course, he wouldn't have agreed if it was before but in the last 30 minutes, he seemed to have found a common interest with Xiang Weimin so he wasn't averse to the idea of following him.
Holding the book, Raelle went out and ran into Gou Jinjin who was coming back. She was rubbing her forehead and looked really pissed off. But seeing Raelle, she put on a smile.
"You don't have to smile if you don't want to," said Raelle.
Gou Jinjin stopped smiling instantly. One thing she hated the most in the hospital was dealing with difficult family members. It truly took a toll on her mental health. No wonder her grandfather suggested, that she join clinical research instead of administration when he decided she wanted to leave the surgery.
She dug her own grave.
"You're leaving?" asked Gou Jinjin. "I'm so sorry, I couldn't even sit with you."
"That's okay," said Raelle. "Thanks for letting us use your personal space. Also, I'm taking this book with me. Lieutenant... I mean, my brother also brought you cake. It's on your desk. Don't forget to eat it. I heard sweet things make people feel forget their worries."
Gou Jinjin nodded her, "Okay. There is no need to thank me. The book is yours. You can keep it for as long as you want. If your brother is around, I should thank him for the cake. Sweets do help with stress. So, it's very timely."
"See you later," said Raelle and left.
Gou Jinjin looked at her receding back and shook her head, "She is so damn adorable. Who said she lacks emotions?"
By the time Raelle came back to her ward, she found Shui Xian standing in the ward with a gloomy air surrounding him. "Hubby, you're back!"
Shui Xian wanted to turn to look at her but she hugged him from behind and didn't let go. He sighed heavily. How was he supposed to get mad if she acted like this? No, he had to set his foot down!
"Where were you?" he asked. "Did you send me to the meeting so that you can wander around the hospital? Didn't I tell you to stay here and rest well? I even allowed you to work moderately. Why are you still running around in this condition?"
"But I'm fine," said Raelle. "Besides, I wasn't wandering around."
Shui Xian turned around with his arms around her waist, "Why did you go out?"
"I went to see Tang Hebe," replied Raelle honestly.
"Is it okay for you to meet her again and again?" asked Shui Xian.
"It's okay, I still have a few attack moves to deliver," said Raelle.
"What?" he furrowed his brows in confusion. What was she up to? Why couldn't he understand it? And why wasn't he surprised that he couldn't understand it?
Raelle kissed his chin as she said, "I usually don't do this. But I think I need to pay her back for the pain she gave you. If she hurt you, I'll hurt her in return. I'm very capable of doing that. I don't even have to use my hands to get back at her."
Shui Xian didn't know whether he should laugh in this situation or not. That warm and sweet feeling settled into his heart and kissed her forehead, "Why are you like this?" He thought he should feel bad for Tang Hebe to run into Raelle but he actually didn't. Even if he moved on, it felt particularly warm to know that someone was willing to stand up for him.
"Don't know," she replied. If she had the answer to that question wouldn't life be simpler for everyone?
