In the ward.
Fei Yingli said,"
"Xiaolan, why don't you go to school too? I'll just hire someone to take care of me.”
"Mom, there's no need. I've already applied for leave.”
"Xiaolan."
" It's just a small injury," Fei Yingli said earnestly." It'll be fine in a few weeks." Besides, you're already in high school. You can't delay your studies because of me. She was also saying,'You can come and see me after school.'”
"Don't!"
Xiao Lan replied softly. She stood up silently and began to clean the ward. She used her actions to show her determination.
Bai Chuanye didn't say anything.
The current situation was not something an outsider like him could interrupt. It was better for him to be an invisible person.
Fei Yingli frowned and immediately pulled a long face."Xiaolan, why are you so naughty? Be obedient, or I'll get angry."
Xiao Lan stopped cleaning.
She lowered her head silently.
For a moment, the ward fell silent, and the air was gradually filled with a depressing atmosphere.
After a long time.
Xiao Lan raised her head and smiled sweetly.""Mom, you must be hungry. I'll buy you breakfast.”
With that, he left the ward.
"Lan!"
Fei Yingli opened her mouth, but she didn't continue shouting. She only smiled bitterly.
She didn't know who her daughter got her temper from. When she was stubborn, even ten cows wouldn't be able to pull her back.
Perhaps, like mother, like daughter. Just like her in the past, Xiao Lan ran away from home without a word and did not return for ten years. She was also extremely stubborn. Xiao Lan was really just like her.
She looked at Bai Chuanye and said apologetically,"
"Officer Shirakawa, please go and take a look at this child. Don't let anything happen to him.”
"It's okay. I'll take good care of her.”
Bai Chuanye nodded in agreement. As soon as he left the ward, he realized that Xiaolan had not left. She was waiting in the corridor outside the ward.
He walked over to take a look and realized that the girl was wiping her tears with her head lowered.
"Are you alright?" Bai Chuanye asked softly.
" I'm fine." Xiao Lan sniffed and rubbed her eyes hard. She forced a smile.
"Officer Shirakawa, you haven't had breakfast either, right?”
"No."
"Alright, let's go together. I'll treat you.”
"Um, Xiaolan, your mother…"
"I know."
Xiaolan stopped Bai Chuanye and shook her head with a smile, indicating for him to stop talking.
"Alright then."
Bai Chuanye nodded.
The two of them walked towards the elevator.
However, after taking two steps, Xiao Lan's face turned pale and she fell to the side.
Xiaolan, what's wrong?" Bai Chuanye quickly hugged her and sat on a public chair in the aisle.
"Xiaolan! Xiaolan! How are you? Should we call the doctor?"
"No, I'm not. No need."
Xiao Lan grabbed onto Bai Chuanye's clothes with difficulty and shook her head at him. She begged,"
"Don't tell my mom. I'm just too tired. I'll be fine after resting for a while. Officer Shirakawa, please…"
Bai Chuanye touched her forehead to make sure that she wasn't having a fever. He heaved a sigh of relief and asked,"
"Did you not sleep all night?"
" Mm." Xiao Lan nodded slightly.
"You."
Bai Chuanye didn't know what to say. He placed his hands on her temples and gently massaged them.
"You should rest for a while. Otherwise, if you faint again with this expression, you will scare Miss Fei.”
" Thank you, Detective Shirakawa!"
Xiaolan quietly leaned against Bai Chuanye's chest like a newborn beast. She felt a wave of warmth and felt the hands rubbing her head. Her pale face also turned red.
She did not have much strength now, so she could only act like this. However, she was very shy in her heart.
This was the first time she had been hugged by a man other than her father since she grew up.
This was the first time Lan felt so comfortable and safe being hugged by a man.
Time passed slowly.
After a long time.
Xiao Lan finally regained her strength and struggled to stand up."
"Officer Shirakawa, I feel much better.”
"Don't force yourself."
Shirakawa Yaya loosened his embrace, but he did not let go. He held onto the girl's arm.
As he walked to the elevator, he whispered,"
"It's best to take care of your health. Otherwise, if Miss Fei finds out, she will definitely kick you out again. So if he wanted to stay and take care of Miss Fei, he had to have a healthy body.”
Xiao Lan's ears were red as she retorted in an embarrassed voice,"
"I'm in good health. It's just that when I received the news from my mother yesterday, my mood fluctuated greatly. In addition, I didn't sleep for the entire night, so I'm not feeling well.”
"Yes, yes, yes. She's in good health. Otherwise, she wouldn't have almost fainted.”
Bai Chuanye shook his head in amusement.
He knew that Xiao Lan wasn't lying. She was indeed in good health. Otherwise, she wouldn't have smashed a telephone pole by the roadside with one punch in the anime.
That scene was deeply imprinted in his mind, and he had never forgotten it until now.
The two of them chatted like this.
They entered the elevator.
When they arrived at the first floor, Xiao Lan finally didn't need anyone to help her up. She could walk normally, and her pale face had also faded, and it began to turn rosy.
At this moment.
A call came in.
Bai Chuanye glanced at the number and picked it up.
" Miwako, what's the matter?"
"Ye, there's a murder case. I might need you to come over.”
"What's wrong?" "Did something serious happen?" Bai Chuanye was a little surprised. Can't you guys handle it?"
"That's not it. We just received a report that someone was killed in his home. When I rushed over to take a look, I realized that the deceased was the Nakajima Hideaki that you asked me to investigate yesterday. So, you should come over."
"Okay, I'll be right there."
Bai Chuanye hung up the phone and looked at Lan.
Before he could say anything, Xiao Lan said in a very understanding manner,"
"Officer Shirakawa, you can go and do your own thing. I'm enough for my mother.”
"I'm sorry, Xiaolan. Also, help me apologize to Miss Fei. I didn't expect you to go back on your word so quickly.”
