Regarding Those Matters of Me and My Little Sister - Chapter 64: Recovery
Chapter 64: Recovery
The skating rink was silent, and a few of the punks next to me shrank back in fear, their faces pale.
Pointing my knife directly at me, and all of the punks in front of me turned pale and unconsciously dodged to the side.
The blood from my forehead trickled down to the corner of my mouth, and the blood on the knife, dribbling slowly.
The only thing I can feel now is Li Xin's cold hands and the sweat on her palms.
The punks in front had already moved away, and they were all cowards. I slowly took a couple of steps, and slowly walked outside.
My body was hurting, almost a little too much. My sister's hands and mine were shaking, and she was still scared. As we walked and I bled, more and more people at the rink noticed the commotion over here and all looked on in shock.
After taking one more step, I collapsed, right in front of the exit, the light from the sunset shining on me.
Li Xin finally could not help but cry out, and then she reacted and hugged me instantly, perhaps she knew best I was wavering, if someone blew on me I would fall over.
Those people behind us began to murmur, and Guo's goons seem to be interested.
I let out a cold cough, those voices immediately disappeared again.
Once again gaining the strength to go to the exit, Li Xin held me, afraid I would fall.
Finally, we walked out, the outside air waking me up and filling my nasal cavity, making me a little more refreshed.
Li Xin cried pearly tears, she is after all a girl, and after things calmed down she finally panicked, not knowing what to do.
I slowly scanned the neighborhood and found a three-wheeled motorcycle nearby, Li Xin also saw it, and then she suddenly figured out what to do and ran over and cried, “We need a ride.”
The driver was hesitant to look at us. Li Xin was in a hurry and panicked. She rummaged in her pocket and took out some loose change: “Take all of it, just take us somewhere.”
The driver finally agreed, and came over to open his mouth: “Messed with some gangsters? Let's go, just don't hurt me.”
I could barely move, Li Xin gritted her teeth and carried me to the bike, she almost tumbled to the ground, but luckily we both got on the bike.
The three-wheeled motorcycle immediately sped away. I could finally feel relieved, my mouth gasping for air. Li Xin gave me to wipe the blood: “Brother ……”
I gently twisted my head to look at her, and then running out of strength, I fell straight on her, she put my head on her lap and cried out again: “Quickly go to Takasu Middle School, there's a milk tea store near there, please.”
I was so dizzy that I could no longer feel the outside world, I only felt as if we were chasing the sunset, and I had a warm feeling enveloping me, and then I realized that it was my sister who had bent down and held me tight, and she was warming me.
From the skating rink to the milk tea store, I did not realize how much time passed, and I seemed to be lying in bed, I vaguely heard Xia's shocked scream.
Then a small hand, two palms actually, squeezed grabbing mine, cold and sweaty, trembling and worryingly, Li Xin just squeezed my hand and shed tears next to it.
I was so at ease that I was able to relax and fell into a deep sleep.
Although my body was very sore and badly injured, I still slept incredibly well, I used to have nightmares from time to time, dreaming of my sister being molested by Da Qiang, dreaming of my sister getting stones thrown at her by the children of the town, dreaming of my sister hiding alone and crying in secret.
But those dreams seemed to be from years ago, and perhaps now I was finally able to laugh while dreaming.
When I woke up it was another day, I guess it was the next evening. I moved my arms and legs, then felt very constricted, looking down my arms and thighs, and even my stomach was plastered with gauze, and the room smelt like medicine.
They must have gotten a doctor. I laughed a little, then tore my mouth, and the pain assaulted me again.
There was a lot of noise outside the door, milk tea stores are always crowded this time of year. Is Li Xin helping? I can't move or speak, so I just waited while lying peacefully.
It didn't take long for Li Xin to come in, when she saw me awake her face, that was full of gloomy clouds dispersed, and then she cried again, and she couldn't stand up.
I couldn't open my mouth carelessly, but I could still talk, I smiled: “What are you crying for, I'm not dead.”
She ran over and tried to hug me, but she was afraid of hurting me, so she knelt by the bed and wiped her tears: “Brother, are you still in pain?”
Aiya, she's not shy anymore. In fact, the shyness between us in the past was not shyness in the ordinary sense, but just a feeling that we couldn't describe. And I only knew of it to be us being shy with each other.
Now that she wasn't shy. I raised my arm towards her face, but it started to hurt again. Li Xin quickly held my palm with both hands: “Don't move, just say what you want.”
Her tears dripped on the back of my hand, and I felt a hint of warmth. I said I want to touch your face, and she was busy pulling my palm to her face and letting me touch it.
I then used my fingers to wipe her tears, and she ended up crying louder and louder, and simply couldn't stop. I hurriedly stopped wiping, and started laughing and crying too: “What are you doing, really.”
Li Xin was about to cry more: “I just… can’t help it.”
Alright then, please, let it all out.
I quietly looked at her, my heart warmed a little. She cried for a long time, and even Sister Xia came in. Sister Xia was quite nervous. Seeing that I'm fine, she grinned broadly: “This time you were pretty cool, not bad…”
I rolled my eyes, Sister Xia and teased Li Xin: “Don't be sad, it's better to kiss him if rather than crying, he will recover better.”
I went to hell, I glared at Sister Xia, Li Xin also wiped her tears, blushing. And I said: “Go back to your work, you're really annoying.”
Sister Xia went out, Li Xin also stopped crying, but she refused to leave, and stayed kneeling by the bed to look at me.
This is one of the first times we’ve been so close, we were unable to talk to each other before for some reason, but now we seemed to be “normal.”
I also did not want her to leave, and always wanted to see her look at me, for three years, we never looked at each other. I also wanted her to smile and with that I said you should smile more, she could not laugh, and gently hit me: “Stop it.”
I laughed, looked at her and continued laughed, she looked at me and then couldn't help but laugh, with a poof, she turned her head away from me.
She really laughed too easily. We were still holding hands, her hands were always so small, white and tender like a child's.
I squeezed, her hands were soft and particularly comfortable. But she was shy, she scratched in my hand: “No fooling around.”
I wanted to make a scene, but I couldn't move so I couldn't even do that. I wanted to scratch her palm back, but the door opened and a person came in.
I thought it was Sister Xia, but it turned out to be the unexpected Yang Hanlu. As soon as she came in, the atmosphere changed, I frowned, Li Xin mouth pursed, very unhappy.
Yang Han Lu callously came in and screamed exaggeratedly, “Oooh, brother-in-law, you've been beaten so badly.”
I haven’t seen her face in a while. Although she said that at the moment, her eyes were full of slyness, and what the hell was that about being her brother-in-law.
I let go of Li Xin's hand and gestured for her to go out first. Li Xin can not help but pout, quite unhappy. But she still obediently went out.
Now it's just the two of us, Yang Hanlu and I. I'm not polite, and I directly said in a cold voice: “How do you know I've been beaten? Why did you come to see me?”
Yang Han Lu giggled: “The skating rink battle, your excellency made quite the commotion, who wouldn't know you ah.”
I raised an eyebrow, this woman is not an ordinary person, she had a lot of influence on the streets, maybe she was the same as Qin Lan, and she had a lot of friends in that area.
I didn't move, I said I'm just an average guy, I didn’t do anything.
Yang Han Lu sighed and sat down: “Although you might be a hero, you are still a man under the law. How would you get away with stabbing someone in this world? The police would be after you.”
My heart jumped, yeah, I stabbed someone, if they call the police I'll have to be arrested ah, these weren’t criminals, they were normal people.
I'm still a little worried, I'm not afraid of being arrested by the police, this conflict is the other party’s fault in the first place, I'll just be fined at the most.
But I'm afraid of losing money, if I lose a few thousand yuan, I'll die of a heartache. I looked at Yang Hanlu, depressed, it seems that she has to help, although I do not want to ask for it.
I don't talk much: “Are you going to help me? What are the conditions?” She covered her mouth and smiled: “Really heroic, so quick. I can help you, I'll talk to Guo, and then help you pay some money, this thing will all be over, and they won't have to come back for revenge.”
I understand what she wants, I exhaled, and said what are the conditions?
She suddenly flared up: “The condition is very simple, you are now mine, in every way.”
I laughed coldly: “Do you think I will agree?” She did not care, but also took pity: “You are really doomed to a lonely life, if you are my partner, I am also your partner ah, if you want to do something to me …… hee hee, so nasty, shy people are always like this.”
I get goosebumps lying down like this, it's too cold. I said that I would not agree to this condition. And I knew she just wanted to disgust Qin Lan.
She smiled lightly and said, “I think I am more beautiful than my sister, there are more people chasing me than her, why are you not attracted to me?”
She said this kind of thing in such a serious manner, it was really laughable, I just laughed and shook my head: “You are too self-righteous, you don't understand anything, to put it bluntly you are childish, you play sneaky tactics, you are conniving.”
Her face slowly became gloomy and she seemed to want to leave. But in the end, she held back: “Even without you I can still make Qin Lan suffer.”
I was puzzled, and asked a cold-faced question: “Qin Lan did not have contact with you before, right? Why the hell are you so jealous of her?”
Her eyes widened and she got up and left: “It's none of your business.”
I saw her leave, and I didn't know if she would help me or not. But I guess she won't help me, after all, she's a person who won't do anything without benefits.
I didn't care, it was a disaster, but it was a great blessing for me to save my sister. It wasn’t a disaster anymore.
The next few days I was recuperating here, I also got excused from school, and Li Xin rushed to take care of me every day, afraid that I was in trouble.
I was amused, I could move my arms and legs, I touched her hair: “I really feel like a dream.”
Li Xin sniffled while wiping my neck: “It's not a dream, I'm right here.”
I laughed lightly twice and held her small hand, it was so soft and cool, that I could not let go.
She then nuzzled: “Do you like to hold my hand a lot?” I said yes, we never held hands before, now I do not want to let go.
She was stunned, she bit her lips a little, and then leaned over. I was a little stunned when she kissed me on the cheek, her eyes full of joy and nervousness: “The past is all in the past, and all I know is that you are my brother now.”
These sudden words made me a little stunned, Li Xin was finally a little embarrassed, her face slightly turned away: “In those three years I hated you, but I also wanted you to take the initiative to find me, but everytime you came over, you just took peeks at me.”
Huh? I was dumbfounded and then laughed nervously: “Since when did I ever spy on you?”
She had a cute little smug grin, her small lips defiantly nudged: “You spied on me as soon as I came home, you spied at me during dinner, and sometimes you would spy on me when I left my room open!”
This… I couldn't stop laughing, what was going on at that time? Did I really do all that? I retorted: “It turns out that you also want to reconcile with me, and that also means you were also spying on me.”
She snapped my finger angrily: “Why would I go to you? You don't know how much I hated you before! I hated you to death.”
She was furious, but my heart was warm, and my ambitions rose in my chest and I said: “I will take good care of you in the future, unless I die!”
