“No.” Lin Qing lowered his head and kicked the stone next to his feet.

  “Will Auntie get together with Uncle Chu?”


  Xia Ruoxin’s heart skipped a beat. “Xiao Qing, why would you ask such a question?” It was fine if an adult asked it, but just how old was Xiao Qing? He was still young; even the adults could not understand their relations, let alone a mere child.

  “Nothing much. I just asked casually.” Lin Qing kicked the stone again and kicked it further. He went up again and wanted to kick the stone away, but it just kept going further and further. He did not give up and chased after the rock. Suddenly, there were two bright rays of light coming from not far away which blocked his line of vision.

  “Xiao Qing!” Xia Ruoxin was startled. Instinctively, she went forward and hugged Lin Qing. Perhaps she had used too much strength, and it caused her entire body to go to the side. She then used her body to be the human cushion for Lin Qing.

  All of a sudden, there was an excruciating pain from her left arm; and she almost could hear the sounds of her bone breaking.

  She laughed bitterly, and in her heart, there were only two words: ‘it’s over’.

  “Auntie Xia, are you okay?”


  Lin Qing was started as well and only recovered his senses after half a day. At this time, Xia Ruoxin was leaning on her side on the floor; and her forehead broke out in cold sweat.

  “I’m okay.” She forced a smile at Lin Qing, just in case she scared the child.

  Actually, her left arm hurt very badly. She did not forget that her arm was still on a cast, and if anything happened to it, it would be deadly serious. In the first place, this arm of hers was supposed to be amputated.

  The excruciating pain made her curl up her body to endure all sorts of pain.

  Chu Lui drove the car over, and once he saw the situation, he hurriedly opened the car door and ran over.

  “Are you okay?” He helped Xia Ruoxin up and hugged her, whereas Lin Qing was still clutching onto Xia Ruoxin’s sleeves.

  “Let go.” Chu Lui really wanted to kick this troublemaker away. “Don’t you know that her arm was injured? If something happens to it, she will have to amputate it.”


  Lin Qing hurriedly let go of his hands. The word ‘amputate’ really scared him.

  He did not…… he really did not…… he did not do it on purpose……

  “Don’t…… don’t…… blame him.” Xia Ruoxin pulled Chu Lui’s hand. She did not dare to talk much or use too much strength as in between every huff and puff, there was a shrilling pain in her bones.

  Chu Lui stopped in his tracks.

  “Do you want him to cause you to lose your arm?”


  “He’s just a kid.” Xia Ruoxin sighed lightly and endured the pain that was killing her.

  “Just a kid?” Chu Lui never felt that a kid was not dangerous. “Believe me.” He looked at Xia Ruoxin’s eyes seriously. “Even if he was just a child, it would be easy for him to kill you.”


  Xia Ruoxin was in so much pain until she was about to lose consciousness, but she still remembered Lin Qing.

  “Don’t…… don’t…… leave him here alone.”


  Chu Lui paused and carried Xia Ruoxin onto the car, doing it ever so softly in order to not wake his daughter up. If she knew her mother was in so much pain, she would be frightened to death.

  Then, he went to fetch the troublemaker unwillingly.

  He opened the door and threw a cold word. “Get in.”


  Lin Qing got up the car himself and sat in the backseat, without daring to utter a word.

  With one hand on the steering wheel, he gave Du Jingtang a call.

  “Jingtang, come to the hospital for a while. Something happened to Ruoxin; I need you to take care of Rainy.”


  Xia Ruoxin opened her eyes wide, and there were big beads of sweat on her forehead.

  Pain, it was very painful…… excruciating…… pain that she could not endure anymore.

  “Chu Lui?”


  She called for Chu Lui almost silently.

  “Hm?” Chu Lui answered and drove the car faster.

  “Make me faint.”


  Xia Ruoxin really wanted to faint now. It was too painful, and this pain was not bearable at all.

  Chu Lui freed one hand of his and placed it on her shoulders before holding it. “Hang in there; we’re reaching soon.” Make her faint? Sorry, he could not do it. It was better for her to hurt; if she really fainted, he would not even hear her reply.

  By the time he drove his car to the nearest hospital, it had already been half an hour or so. When he arrived, Du Jingtang was already there. Chu Lui opened the door and hurriedly carried Xia Ruoxin, who was about to faint, into the hospital. Meanwhile, Du Jingtang opened the door and saw the small child sleeping soundly at the backseat. He sat in the car and was going to send the two children home before coming to check on Xia Ruoxin.

  Why would she be admitted into the hospital out of nowhere?

  Did she have such a strong affinity with the hospital?

  When Xia Ruoxin’s report came out, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. There was nothing too serious about it even though she did injure her left arm and cause the cast to break. However, it was also because of the cast so she could get her arm back. The bones that were reconnected back were okay, but her wrist was not. She had mildly fractured it, and after the doctor attended to it, she had a new cast. At first, she could remove her cast in a month; but now, she had to wait for a few more months.

  When Xia Ruoxin woke up, it was already the next morning.

  She moved her arm and felt that her entire shoulder was heavy. She turned around and found that there was a thick cast on her arm, and it was stuck.

  “Don’t worry, it’s fine. Your arm is still around, but your wrist is broken. You need to stay like this for a few more months.”


  Chu Lui’s voice was cold, and it was not hard to make out his displeasure.

  Xia Ruoxin knew it herself that the man had spent a lot of effort to save her arm. If she had to amputate it again, the past few months of work were for nothing.

  She sighed softly and when she wanted to stand up again as she thought of something, a hand was pressing her shoulders down firmly.

  “You should rest. Don’t move.”


  Chu Lui sat over, and his cold gaze stared straight at her, which made Xia Ruoxin feel a bit sheepish. Of course, she did not dare to move and disobey him again because it was her fault this time.

  However, she must move. Her thing was still on.

  “Chu Lui?”


  “Hm, what’s the matter?” Chu Lui looked up lazily. “Shoot.”


  “I…… um……” Xia Ruoxin did not know how to tell a man about a woman’s period. “Can you help me to the toilet?” She was afraid that she would dirty the bedsheets. Even though she harmed her arm and not her leg—with one arm on a cast and the other on a drip, she could not hold the drip up with her leg, right?
