  “Slow down! Just how hungry are you? Did you not eat anything at the banquet?” Chu Yuan gave me another bowl of soup. I didn’t know if it was because of my injury, she suddenly became very caring, “it is still hot, so drink it slowly.”


  “Haha,” I put down my rice bowl, took the soup, and laughed, “Yuan Yuan, didn’t you say that you chucked the dinner in the bin? why. . .”


  “I. . . Mmm. . . If it weren’t for Dongfang to stop me, I would’ve really chucked it in the trash bin! Who cares about you? !”


  Seeing that the little girl was embarrassed, I just smiled. This girl was never honest about her feelings. If she really didn’t care about me, would she spend so much effort to cook soup for me?

  What had actually happened was definitely the opposite of what the bratty girl said. Probably DongFang little brat didn’t want my little sister to prepare dinner for me, and my little sister insisted.

  There were all kinds of happiness in life, and currently, I was experiencing one of them, and that was, the happiness of being an elder brother.

  Having such a cute and considerate little sister was such a great thing. . ……

  Eventually, I finally tasted the bitter consequence of trying to be a hero. Kidnapping, hijacking, or gunfight, those things were as unrealistic as movies for me and my ordinary life. Even if I told Chu Yuan that I was shot by a gun, she probably wouldn’t believe me. On the contrary, an excuse like I had twisted my ankle was very likely to happen in my life, so I was able to easily deceive Chu Yuan. However, no matter how unrealistic it was, it was something that had indeed happened to me. It was not something that I could avoid. Especially the wound on my thigh. . .

  I couldn’t sleep for the whole evening. . . That kind of exhausting feeling and the extremely tormenting pain made me want to yell out loudly several times. I simply sat up on the bed and leaned against the wall until dawn. Because I was biting the pillow the whole evening to prevent myself from making the painful scream, my pillow was wet by my saliva.

  “Who asked you to be a hero? You deserve it. Huh!”


  Dong Xiaoye, this tigress really didn’t sympathize with me at all. Seeing me slumping on the hospital bed after the nurse put me on an IV drip, and there were dark circles under my eyes, her face was filled with a gloating smile.

  “‘Elder Sister Xiaoye, you are finally here. Quick, send me to the hospital. This pain is killing me.’ Haha,” Dong Xiaoye repeated what I said this morning in a mocking tone. “Whenever I think of your pitiful look in the morning, I just can’t help it. It is so funny. Hahaha…… Little Chu, I thought you are not scared of pain.”


  My face flushed like a monkey butt. This was so damn embarrassing, “How would I know that once the pain started, it would never end. If I knew, I would definitely choose to come to the hospital first. . .” Recalling the tormenting experience I had last night, I broke into a cold sweat. I didn’t want to experience it again. . .

  “Let me guess, you haven’t eaten anything since the morning, right? Here, you can take half of it, and don’t thank me. . .”


  Damn you. Seeing Sister Tiger take out an apple from her pocket, I thought she kept it for me, but it turned out that it was for herself. After she passed me half of an apple, I didn’t know whether I should laugh or cry. So this was her breakfast?

  Sister Tiger took a big bite and said muffledly while chewing, “Why don’t you eat it? What are you thinking?”


  “I don’t have an appetite, you can eat it all.” Seeing Dong Xiaoye quickly finish half of the apple without even spitting the seed out, I couldn’t bring myself to eat the other half. I handed the apple back to her and frowned, “I was thinking that I seemed to have forgotten something at home when I came out this morning. But I finally remember it now. Sister Xiaoye, I didn’t bring out my phone, so can I borrow yours. . .”


  “Why do you want to use my phone?” Dong Xiaoye sneered with a cold face, “You want to call Miss Mo, right?”


  Dong Xiaoye looked like a careless person on the surface, but unexpectedly she was very sensitive inside. I should really not underestimate this kind of woman. I smirked, “she will definitely look for me today, so at least, I should tell her that I am in the hospital now, right? Lest she will be worried. . .”


  “I think you want her to come to take care of you.” After mocking me, Dong Xiaoye held the other half of the apple with her mouth, and rummaged through her pocket, “but you are right. She is young and pretty. Compared to an old woman with rough hands like me, she definitely will take much better care of you. Huh!”


  Sister Tiger’s remarks seemed to be mocking me. But there was also a faint self-ridicule. I couldn’t help but jokingly say, “At least she wouldn’t eat an apple in front of a seriously injured person. . .”


  “What do you mean?” Dong Xiaoye’s face blushed. She instinctively lifted her arm and wanted to hit me with the half of the apple that she had already taken two bites. “Didn’t I give you the other half? It was you who said that you didn’t want it!” She said in an annoyed tone.

  I smiled, neither admitted it nor denied it. “Xiaoye, why did you want to give Mo Fei a hard time?”?I couldn’t help but ask curiously.

  Dong Xiaoye asked back, “Did I?”


  “A little bit. . .” I found that I was unable to find a word to accurately describe the relationship between her and Mo Fei, “I always feel that you two have trouble getting along with each other. You don’t seem to like her, and she doesn’t seem to like you as well. It is like you two are enemies in your previous life. . .”


  “Then you should ask her this question,” Dong Xiaoye rolled her eyes and said, “Like you said, I don’t like her, and she also doesn’t like me. You need to ask her first why she wants to give me a hard time. Huh! Unlike you, I am not a pushover!”


  Pushover? Blushed, I couldn’t help but think to myself, If her family background was also like mine, if she also had a little sister like Chu Yuan, she would probably also gradually become a “pushover”.

  However, Dong Xiaoye’s words were not completely unreasonable. The reason why she disliked Mo Fei was indeed very likely that Mo Fei hadn’t been friendly toward her. Those two girls were like two magnets, one positive and one negative. . .

  I ended the topic related to Mo Fei at the appropriate time and asked, “You still can’t find it? How can you even forget which pocket you put your phone in?”


  “Oh, right!” Dong Xiaoye clapped her hands and said, “I didn’t bring it either! Because of the mission I had yesterday, I handed in my phone and I haven’t gotten it yet!” She seemed to be very happy that she didn’t bring her mobile phone, and the helplessness in her eyes was more like provocation and mockery!

  “Yesterday. . .” Since the morning, I had been deliberately avoiding this question under the influence of my subconsciousness, but now that Dong Xiaoye mentioned it at this moment, I couldn’t help but ask, “How did the thing go last night?” Were all the hostages saved?”


  Dong Xiaoye’s expression also changed after hearing my question, and she became serious immediately, “I returned to the resort after sending you home last night, but at that time the operation had already ended. Because there were still a lot of things that needed to be dealt with, the manor was very chaotic. Captain Lin said that you were injured because you were trying to help the police, so I needed to. . . take care of you. I went back to the station and waited till dawn, but I didn’t see Captain Lin come back. So I’m not very clear about the specific situation. I just heard that two were captured alive and three were killed. The gunmen only fired one shot. It seemed that an armed policeman was injured, but all the hostages were saved. . .”


  “Is that so? . .” Hearing that all the hostages had been saved, I let out a sigh of relief, “so, you haven’t slept all night?”


  Dong Xiaoye sat on the side of my bed with a grin and said, “this is nothing. As a police officer, I am often required to work forty-eight hours without a break, so I am used to it.”


  “I found that you really don’t think of yourself as a woman. . .”


  Dong Xiaoye immediately glared at me, “What did you say? !”


  “I said you don’t think of yourself as a woman,” I said bluntly without fear of Sister Tiger’s wrath, “It’s easy for women to get old if they stay up late. Are you really not afraid that no man would want to marry you in the future? Go home and go to sleep!”


  The heavy weight on my chest seemed to be suddenly lifted after hearing that no other hostages had been injured or killed last night. I believed that Sister Tiger felt the same as me. After all, she was a police officer. However, she was also a woman. I didn’t want to be taken care of by a woman who worked harder than me like a kept man.

  Dong Xiaoye knew that I cared about her, but she couldn’t help but scold me with a blushing face, “Why do you care if no one wants to marry me or not? And why do you keep mentioning this?”


  It was indeed very suspicious that I often mentioned this in front of per, but I still pretended that it was normal and said, “Are you dumb? In case there is really no one who wants to marry you in the future, how do I know that you won’t run to me and ask me to take responsibility? I am warning you if you become an old auntie because of lack of sleep, it has nothing to do with me.”


  “Get lost!” Dong Xiaoye gave me a light punch on my shoulder and smiled, “I think you probably can’t wait to take this responsibility, right?”


  “Huh?”


  Seeing my surprised expression, Dong Xiaoye realized that what she said was very suggestive. The blush on her face extended all the way to her neck in an instant. “You are really a womanizer. All you think about every day must be how to take advantage of women, right?” She murmured.

  It was clearly her who was teasing me earlier, right? Why did she blush?

  I couldn’t help but smile, “Yes, yes. Since you know that I like to take advantage of women, it proves that you still know that you are a woman, so go home and get some sleep. Otherwise, you will definitely regret it when no man is willing to take advantage of you in the future.”


  Dong Xiaoye’s face became even rosier after she realized that I was trying to give her an out. Feeling embarrassed to carry on with this topic, she asked, “What about you? Since you don’t want to tell Liusu about this, nor do you want your family to know about your injury, if I leave now, how are you going to take care of yourself?”


  “This is a hospital. There are doctors and nurses. I will be fine.”


  Dong Xiaoye stared at my face for a long time, and finally nodded, “Fine, I also want to find out what exactly happened last night. In that case, I will go back to the station first, and then I will pick you up in the afternoon.”


  Er. . . After talking for a long time, she still didn’t want to rest. . .

  “Sister Xiaoye, I hope you can go home and sleep, don’t work too hard. . .”


  “It’s the same in the office, there is a bed in the duty room.”


  Er. . . Just what kind of woman was she? Feeling speechless, I kind of doubt my understanding of Sister Tiger. . ……

  I hadn’t slept all night. After Dong Xiaoye left, my surroundings finally became quiet, and the wound no longer hurt. Muddle-headed, I felt that there seemed to be something important that I needed to do, but exhaustion and drowsiness eventually overwhelmed me and I finally fell asleep.

  When I was finally woken up by Dong Xiaoye, I was confused and thought she hadn’t left at all. But when I looked at the time, I realized that she had already come back. It was 4:30 in the afternoon, and I had actually slept eight hours.

  “Are you tired or did someone make you angry? Why do you look so glum?”


  I was afraid that Chu Yuan would find out that I was injured, so I insisted on staying in the hospital during the day and going home at night. I thought that this troublesome request made Dong Xiaoye angry. Seeing that she hasn’t talked much since she came back, and her face was gloomy while driving the car, I asked carefully.

  “I’m fine!” She responded.
