Chapter 202: Chapter 130: Escape from Danger (Part 2)
"Let’s wait a little longer!"
"Luo Ye, she is someone we need to protect, and the caregiver has already been hired. Rest assured, we’ll inform you immediately if there’s any news."
"Alright, then we’ll head back, thanks for the hard work, Brother Wang and Brother Li." Luo Ye thought it over and decided not to insist any longer. Right now, staying here really was pointless.
"This is our job, no trouble at all. I’ll take you guys home!"
Luo Ye quickly stopped him: "Brother Wang, there’s no need, there are buses at this hour and not many people take them. We’ll be home in about ten minutes, no point in you going back and forth!"
Having been around Luo Ye for a while, Wang Yike knew her temperament, so he nodded: "Alright, no more coddling you. Give us a call when you get home."
"Okay, I’ll call you when I get home, brother, let’s go." Luo Ye walked a distance with Luo Feng, then noticed her elder brother walking with a limp. She quickly stopped: "Brother, is your foot injured? Let me have a look."
"It’s nothing, let’s go." Luo Feng continued to stride forward, pulling his sister along: "Just scraped some skin when I rushed earlier."
"No, let me see!" Luo Ye forcefully tugged Luo Feng down onto a chair and, upon removing his slipper, she saw a long cut on the sole of his right foot covered with a thick crust of blood. Walking that short distance had re-opened the wound, causing it to bleed again.
Luo Ye angrily slapped Luo Feng’s hand: "Why didn’t you say something earlier? What if it gets infected?"
"It’s not that delicate, just need a band-aid when we get home." Luo Feng deliberately made a sour face: "You used to complain I was too delicate, and now that I’m not, I still get scolded. Ye’er, it’s tough being your brother!"
Luo Ye rolled her eyes: "Are those even comparable? And just a band-aid? Do you think modern band-aids are as big as plasters, or do you think your foot is as small as a baby’s? Come on, let’s go to the emergency room for dressing."
"Pfft!"
The siblings turned around to see that the nurse who had burst out laughing was the one who reported from the operating room. Luo Ye had noticed her name tag before; it read Liu Ying.
"You are really funny when you talk, I didn’t mean to!" Liu Ying’s cheeks flushed with a quick blush under the staring of the siblings.
Luo Ye smiled: "No worries, Nurse Liu, what time does your shift end?"
"I’ll be off duty at six-thirty, just wait a moment, I’ll go get the medicine box." Saying so, Liu Ying quickly headed to the pharmacy.
...
"Brother, is there a flower growing on my face?" Luo Feng felt unsettled under Luo Ye’s gaze, as his little sister had been analyzing him all this time, and even as they neared the station, was still studying him.
Luo Ye smirked mischievously: "No flower, but the more I look at it, the more charming Brother Feng seems to be. Tsk, tsk... It was the first time I’ve seen someone holding Brother’s foot, washing it clean, and dressing the wound all for free, the tenderness in her eyes almost spilling out. Brother, are you melted yet?"
"Just make fun of me then!" Luo Feng had a helpless look on his face.
"I’m just telling the truth, come on! Get off the bus!" As they arrived at the stop, Luo Ye supported her brother towards the door. Luo Feng laughed: "Ye’er, I’m not that fragile, let go."
"That won’t do, what if you fall? Then all of Nurse Liu’s efforts would be for nothing!"
"You..."
After getting off the bus, Luo Ye playfully poked Luo Feng: "Brother, I did it on purpose. Your pajamas look a lot like the hospital’s patient clothes, people on the bus must have thought you were an escapee from the hospital. Of course, they thought I was the girlfriend jealous of the cute nurse. Humph, let’s just give them a show."
Luo Feng frowned; his sister would only pull such silly pranks when she was particularly worried about something. Qian Mei was already out of danger, and after a moment of hesitation, Luo Feng asked: "Ye’er, what are you worried about?"
"You noticed?" Luo Ye let out a light sigh: "Let’s hurry home, so I don’t have to tell the story twice."
Indeed, she was very anxious. Ye Xuan hadn’t called Wang Yike again, which meant the Liu Family father and son had not been caught. As long as the two were at large, she couldn’t rest easy. Although she knew they weren’t capable of doing anything malicious right now, she couldn’t help feeling concerned.
...
"Luoluo, why are you so listless today? With that look, you’re going to end up at the bottom of the class, aren’t you?" Tang Luo looked at Luo Ye, who was languishing on the desk with concern.
"I stayed up a bit late last night!" Luo Ye forced a smile.
"You knew there was an exam today and you still stayed up late, I’m really fed up with you. Look, there’s the bell again, buck up!"
"Oh!" Luo Ye responded, but still rested her head on the desk. She really had no mood to care about this preliminary examination. It was already past two in the afternoon, and Ye Xuan hadn’t called her, making her anxious.
"Do you really want to embarrass us? Wake up now!" Tang Luo poked Luo Ye in frustration and then viciously twisted the flesh on her waist twice.
"Ouch!" Luo Ye inhaled sharply; this girl was really ruthless!
Xing Nong also turned her head and waved her claws: "Luoluo, if you don’t wake up, I’m going to strike too."
Luo Ye promptly sat up straight: "I’m wide awake now, no need!"
That day, four subjects were being tested. After school, seeing Luo Ye trudge along, leaning on Ying Nuo, Xing Nong poked Tang Luo: "Do you think she’s heartbroken?"
"There’s a possibility... No, it’s getting more and more likely!"
"Yeah, it does seem like it!"
"Are they serious?" The two had been gossiping so loudly that Ying Nuo could hear every word. Luo Ye pursed her lips: "Let them think whatever they like."
The two girls exchanged glances, quickly squeezed past Ying Nuo, and took Luo Ye by each arm: "Luoluo, hehe, that guy, although he’s handsome, he really doesn’t deserve you!"
"Exactly, we may have lost this sorry tree, but there’s a whole forest out there waiting to be chosen!"
"Yeah, yeah, Xing Nong is right, it’s just a sorry excuse for a tree!"
...
Luo Ye was truly vexed by everyones’ chatter. After leaving school, she hailed a cab, which didn’t even bother to say hello before speeding away. Now the three observers were even more convinced of their speculations!
When Luo Ye returned home, she found that Mr. Liu, who hadn’t visited in ages, was paying a visit, warmly holding Grandpa’s hand: "Brother Luo, we should visit each other more often. Oh, Ye’er, you’re back? See what delicious treats Grandpa bought for you?"
Oh my god, grandpa actually lived to hear this ’Brother Luo’, not easy at all! But what on earth is that thing in the old man’s bag that he’s offering up like treasure?
Nu’an had been a bit feverish these past two days, feeling sleepy all the time, so the writing process has been torturously slow. Let’s have less today, I need to rest, I really can’t hold on anymore. (To be continued...
