Chapter 106

The two people arrived outside the ward. The door was open, and it was not a single room but a large ward with three beds. People were coming in and out frequently, so the door was generally left open.

The two walked in, and Xu Lin immediately saw Father Bai lying there. Sitting next to him was not Mother Bai, but Bai Xiaoxiao. Bai Xiaoxiao had her back to them, but Father Bai saw them and immediately patted Bai Xiaoxiao.

Xu Lin, youre here, what did you bring? Father Bai pretended to shout loudly.

Nothing expensive, just some meat and milk. Senior sister Bai can cook the meat and ribs at home and bring them for Uncle to eat, Xu Lin replied.

Alright, Xiaoxiao, take it, dont let people keep holding it, Father Bai said. Bai Xiaoxiao took the things and glanced apologetically at Xu Lin before accepting them. Xu Lin just smiled indifferently.

As soon as he entered, he noticed the large and small gift packages placed next to the other two beds. Although Father Bai doesnt seem like someone who cares about appearances, as an adult, there are some social niceties he cant avoid.

Bai Xiaoxiao took the items and also noticed Ji Yun behind him. Ji Yun smiled slightly and nodded at her, and she awkwardly nodded back, smiling a bit unnaturally.

Such a beautiful girl, with better skin than mine, and dressed so stylishly, is she Xu Lins sister? Or perhaps his girlfriend?

Oh, by the way, who is this?

Father Bai asked, although Xu Lin was teased by his coworkers as being his son-in-law, he himself felt that his daughter shouldnt be dating yet. Seeing someone of the same age come with Xu Lin today, he felt relieved.

While he appreciated their help and intended to remember their kindness, he couldnt bear to let his daughter go just yet.

Shes my friend, Ji Yun.

Hello, Uncle.

Alright, please have a seat. Xiaoxiao, you stand for a while.

Were fine standing.

How can I let my benefactors stand? Father Bai waved his hand, and Bai Xiaoxiao obediently placed two chairs behind them.

Xu Lin and Ji Yun also sat down, watching Father Bai, who despite having both legs suspended, still has a smiling face, and they couldnt help but admire the resilience of this thin man.VIsit n0(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

Hows your recovery, Uncle?

Its fine now. Although it was painful at the time, after the surgery, I didnt feel much. Besides being unable to move, Ill be discharged in another half a month.

Thats good. When youre discharged and go back, Ill arrange a car to pick you up.

No, no, youve already taken care of them both for me that day, even covering their medical expenses. I cant trouble you any further! Father Bai quickly said, his face serious, not giving him a chance to insist.

Dont buy anything next time. I asked Xiaoxiao, and your family isnt wealthy. Once Im feeling better, Ill try my best to give you the money next year. This money cant be delayed.

Uncle, dont say that. Its not much money, theres no need to rush.

You see, in my whole life, I only have one daughter, but I havent provided well for her. I feel really guilty.

Xu Lin is very kind, but we just have a normal student relationship! Dont blame him, just talk to me if theres anything, Ill definitely keep my distance from him in the future!

Bai Xiaoxiao, in 2 seconds, quickly said this, like a machine gun firing at her, leaving Ji Yun confused.

Bai Xiaoxiaos timid face turned into a fearful and pitiful look.

This feeling was not acted out, but came from her instinct, making Ji Yun feel a bit sorry for her.

She also understood more about Bai Xiaoxiao, that she, Senior Bai, is not just an introvert, but also fragile and insecure when speaking with others.

Senior Bai, dont be nervous. I didnt misunderstand you. I just simply want to know about your relationship with Xu Lin, nothing else.

Is that so?

Yes, really, you dont need to be afraid. Senior Bai, is someone bullying you?

Ji Yun reached out and held Bai Xiaoxiaos hand, feeling roughness and coldness at first touch.

Why do both you and Xu Lin think this way no one is bullying me, Bai Xiaoxiao rubbed her remaining hand, feeling only roughness.

But the other partys hand is so soft and delicate, like satin indeed, only such a girl would be

Senior Bai, you are very beautiful.

Um? Bai Xiaoxiao buried her head into her chest, quietly gazing at Ji Yun, who gently smiled and held her other hand.

Youre very beautiful, dont lower your head. Why should you lower your head? Youre more beautiful than many people, and you shouldnt be afraid, nor should you feel inferior.

My mom said, showing off your beauty can be very dangerous.

Maybe thats not entirely wrong, but you need to know one thing, you need to be confident! You dont have to deliberately show your beauty to others, but rather, you should know that youre excellent!

I but I

Bai Xiaoxiao raised her head slightly, looking at Ji Yuns sparkling eyes, wanting to say something, but nothing came out.

It seems I need to show you how good your foundation is. It doesnt require much money, just a little bit of seriousness Trust me once.

But I really dont need it.

Listen to me once, okay?

Looking at Ji Yuns persuasive eyes, Bai Xiaoxiao also yielded, reluctantly nodding her head.
