Chapter 1695: Chapter 1697: Didn’t We Make a Promise?
Hearing this, Xiaoxiao reacted at once.
Wasn’t this exactly the "looks like a ball" person Yang Dong mentioned before?
So it turned out he’d been talking about Li Chuntao!
She really hadn’t expected there to have been this little episode between those two in the past.
She unconsciously raised her head and took a look at Yang Dong; in his eyes there was actually a tenderness as soft as water. In the whole year since she’d come here, she had never seen that look before.
Once a person has someone they like, they really do become different.
The others in the family were even more shocked when they heard this. They’d heard about this matter, but they hadn’t expected that the "ball" would actually turn out to be Li Chuntao. Still, because they had to keep their eyes on Li Chuntao at all times, they didn’t dare move and could only prick up their ears and keep listening.
Yang Dong’s eyes were full of regret, yet also overflowing with tenderness.
"I’m sorry I didn’t recognize you."
"Actually, I did care about you a little bit back then, otherwise I wouldn’t have taken the initiative to ask your name."
"I’m sorry, it was all my fault. If only I’d insisted on asking your name at the time."
As Yang Dong spoke, his shoulders began to tremble uncontrollably, which showed just how remorseful and agitated he was at this moment. "Everything is my fault. If I had listened to my family’s advice and not agreed to the marriage, Yang Xiaocui and Yang Daniu wouldn’t have had the chance to hurt you. It’s all my fault, all my fault."
When he lifted his eyes and saw that Li Chuntao had grown even thinner after all this, Yang Dong’s gaze was filled with aching distress. He went on, "I know how much you suffered just to lose weight, you almost died. Do you know how awful that made me feel?"
"Actually, I never thought you looked that bad when you were fat. Whether it was the fat you or the thin you, it’s all you—you’re just as pretty either way. How could I ever despise you?"
Yang Dong’s words moved everyone in the room. The members of the Yang Family had never imagined that their fourth, who’d always been as stubborn as a mule, could actually say such heartfelt, touching things.
Yang Dong went on, "Wake up soon. Everyone is waiting for you to wake up. Your family is waiting for you, and so am I."
Suddenly, the Yang Family’s second daughter-in-law let out a loud yelp that startled everyone. "She moved, she moved, I just saw her finger move a little!"
As she spoke she pointed it out for everyone to see, "This finger, this one right here."
Hearing this, everyone was overjoyed. It seemed that Yang Dong’s calling out was having an effect.
Xiaoxiao was even more anxious as she said, "Yang Dong, keep talking to her. Alu, hurry over to the academy and bring the Li Family over, and go find Doctor Ma, get Doctor Ma back as quickly as you can."
These past few days Doctor Ma had been staying at the Yang Family’s house, sharing a room with Yang Dong.
At the Li Family’s request, afraid something might happen to Li Chuntao, they had kept Doctor Ma there.
Once Doctor Ma settled in at the Yang Family’s place, it was a real convenience for the people of Yangjia Village. Whoever had a headache or a fever, or any ailment at all, would go find Doctor Ma. As it happened, today Doctor Ma had just been called away to treat someone else.
Upon hearing Xiaoxiao’s instructions, Alu hurried out to look for them.
Seeing that someone had gone, Xiaoxiao quickly said, "Fourth Brother, hurry and keep talking."
Xiaoxiao felt this was a good sign; they had to press their advantage. Maybe she really could wake up.
Yang Dong nodded, just as anxious himself.
They only heard him go on, "Wake up soon. Didn’t we agree? If we come back alive, we’ll get married."
