Lu Yubei had miscalculated, he reckoned that Xin would fight for him, and maybe stand up for him, but he forgot about Xiaoqiao.
When Lu Yubei held onto Xin, Xiaoqiao had already stepped forward, quickly arriving in front of Lu Zihe.
After standing in front of Lu Zihe, Xiaoqiao raised her head.
With an extremely confident voice, he said, "Lu Zihe, I can very clearly tell you that the person I love is Yubei. In this life, I have chosen him."
"Furthermore, even without him, the person that I, Yan Xiaoqiao, would not be fond of would not be you, Lu Zihe."
"So, I ask that you stop using this matter as a gimmick to attack Yubei in the future. He hasn't done anything wrong, and has no shame towards you at all. If you really want to blame someone, blame it all on me.
"However, I absolutely will not allow you to frame Yubei. He is my man, and the person I am protecting, is him at any time."
Xiaoqiao's actions were outside of anyone's expectations. Not only did Lu Zihe not expect this, even Lu Yubei did not expect this.
After she finished speaking, Xiaoqiao returned back to Lu Yubei's voice, as she gently raised her head to look at him, "The wound on your face is a bit heavy, let's go down and take care of it first!"
"Yes, Yubei will go and treat your wounds. Zihe, you go and take care of your mother. She is in a good and noisy hospital, and Ya Juan needs some rest." Lu Zhongtian said and walked towards the ward.
As Xiaoqiao brought Lu Yubei to tend to his wounds, Lu Xin followed closely behind with a pained heart. He called out in a soft voice, "Second Brother …"
"Xin, this matter is rather complicated, whether or not you are able to participate or not is up to you. "Don't stand up for me, or you will be implicated in the end." Lu Yubei turned towards Lu Xin, and said indifferently.
"Second Brother, I am not afraid of being implicated, you are suffering, you are feeling wronged, of course I am on your side!"
As Lu Xin said this, her tone was filled with pain and grievance for Lu Yubei.
Her tears, could not help but flow down, as she choked out, "Second Brother, how can they? How can I treat you like this? It's just because of your good nature, and you're allowing them to bully you. "
"Idiot, the 'they' you are referring to, they are the people closest to us in this world. They are the parents who gave birth to us and raised us. I am just a bit wronged and a little bit injured. What can happen to me?" Lu Yubei consoled as he wiped the tears off Lu Xin's face.
"But …" Lu Xin's voice was choked with emotions.
"No buts." Lu Yubei said in a determined voice.
As he removed Xin's face, Lu Yubei looked at her, and instructed her gently: "Sister-in-law needs to rest, you cannot stay in the hospital, I have already told Zhou Wei, go find him, he will take good care of you during this period."
"Yes, yes, Second Brother. I understand. I promise … "I don't want to trouble you because of me." Lu Xin nodded with tears in her eyes.
"Yes." Lu Yubei was much more relieved now.
When they took the elevator down, Xiaoqiao saw that Lu Yubei directly pressed the number "1".
"I'm still a little worried about your face. Will it be alright?" Xiaoqiao said softly.
Lu Yubei held her hand and walked out from the elevator, consoling her softly, "Don't worry, Zihe doesn't have much strength on his hands, it's just that when they touched each other earlier, it was a little painful, and now it's a little better."
"Let's go home." Lu Yubei walked towards the parking lot.
"Go home?" Xiaoqiao was a little surprised: "You're not going up there anymore? Then where's your elder sister-in-law? "
"Zihe is now in the midst of his impulsive and painful feelings. He can't accept what happened with Eldest Sister right now, not to mention that Eldest Sis needs to recuperate right now. Dad and mom will be chased out of the sickroom soon, there's no need to incite the anger in his heart in front of him." Lu Yubei explained everything to his.
Xiaoqiao nodded his head: "You are right, even if we stay, he might not appreciate our kindness."
"Yeah, that's what I meant too."
After returning home, the two of them took a shower in a different bathroom.
When he went back to his bedroom, they were actually the same.
Lu Yubei had just washed his hair, so he took a towel and walked over to him. Because of someone's height, Xiaoqiao tiptoed and jumped for a bit before he put a dry towel on Lu Yubei's head.
"Let me blow for you." Xiaoqiao volunteered herself.
Lu Yubei stretched out his arms and used a bit of force to pull Xiaoqiao into his embrace, hugging him tightly.
"So obedient today?" Lu Yubei rubbed her smooth black hair, and let out a breath, his eyes filled with satisfaction.
"When have I ever been disobedient and naughty?" Xiaoqiao blinked her black eyeballs and asked mischievously.
With Xiaoqiao's relaxed and lively attitude, it eased a lot of Lu Yubei's heavy heart.
After leaving the hospital, he no longer felt suffocated; because of Xiaoqiao's company, he felt much more relaxed.
"Repeat what you just said."
Suddenly, Lu Yubei grabbed Xiaoqiao's hand, looked at her with deep emotion, and coaxed her softly.
Xiaoqiao rolled her eyes and asked deliberately: "Which sentence? I've said many things today, many things. Which one do you want to hear? "
"Are you playing dumb?" Lu Yubei looked deeply into his eyes, intentionally bringing a bit of a threatening tone with his.
Xiaoqiao:...
"Xiaoqiao, I like what you said." Lu Yubei sighed softly as he looked at Xiaoqiao with his soft and gentle eyes.
Her heart completely collapsed because of this one sentence.
Xiaoqiao reached out his hand, and she gently lifted her hand, as she carefully caressed the distinct contours of her face.
Lu Yubei's eyes, nose, lips... Xiaoqiao was both very patient and very serious in drawing the outline.
The seriousness and meticulousness in her eyes were even more meticulous.
Lu Yubei also allowed Xiaoqiao to stroke his cheek. While she outlined the outline of his face, he also felt her pulse rate through the warmth of her fingertips.
So... It's all mutual.
Time seemed to have stopped.
Always... When Xiaoqiao felt that she had reached her limit, she gazed at the tip of Lu Yubei's nose with a deep yearning in her eyes.
"Yubei..." Xiaoqiao parted her red lips. Her voice was like a blooming flower, beautiful yet gentle.
Her finger was still on the tip of Lu Yubei's nose, and her voice continued, "If you want to hear it, I can say it again."
"The person I love is you, Lu Yubei. In this lifetime, I have already decided that you are my love, and even without you, I would not even have any possibility of liking Lu Zihe."
"You are the man I love, the man I chose. At any time, the only person I can protect with all my might will be you. He won't be anyone else."
Slowly, Xiaoqiao earnestly repeated herself.
After she finished speaking, she raised her head and looked at Lu Yubei with his clear eyes.
Lu Yubei grabbed Xiaoqiao's hand that was placed at the tip of her nose, and wrapped his other hand around her body.
