The Beloved and Pampered Girl

“Hello, Xiaoting, we only parted ways yesterday, and today you miss me already?”

“Jian~”

From the other end of the call came Xiaoting’s sobbing voice.

Jian Dan immediately dropped the joking tone and his expression turned serious.

“Xiaoting, what’s wrong? Did something happen?” Jian Dan’s first thought was that her brother had encountered trouble.

“My brother… he… he’s had an accident…”

As expected~

“Xiaoting, don’t cry. Where are you right now?”

“Jian, can you come over now? My brother he wants to see you!”

“Okay, send me your location! I’m on my way!” Jian Dan didn’t even have time to ask for the reason. “Uncle, let’s not go home first, we’re going here!” Jian Dan input the location into the car’s GPS.

The car slowly started…

Why would Xiaoting’s brother want to see me? Jian Dan wondered.

But at the very least, Xiaoting’s brother should still be alive.

Uncle’s driving skills were unquestionable, and they arrived at the location sent by Xiaoting in a very short time.

No sooner had Jian Dan gotten out of the car than Xiaoting hugged her tightly, crying. Jian Dan, seeing her swollen red eyes, knew she must have been crying for a long while.

Jian Dan hugged her, gently patting Xiaoting’s back with one hand. “How’s your brother doing?”

“My brother… he…” Xiaoting could hardly speak anymore.

Just then, thankfully, Sister Zimo came out. “Lass, Old Eight wants to see you!”

Old Eight? Who is Old Eight now?

It wasn’t until I went inside that I found out Old Eight was the nickname for Xiaoting’s brother.

Jian Dan saw a lean man with a gunshot wound to his abdomen, lying on the bed, his complexion particularly pale from too much blood loss, even his lips had lost their color.

Jian Dan slowly approached the bedside…

The eyes that were once closed slowly opened.

They were a nice pair of eyes, even though they were single-lidded, but there was an indescribable beauty to them.

“Are you Jian Dan?” The pale lips moved slightly.

It was clear that speaking was a struggle for him.

“I am!”

“Thank you~” He had a lot of words of gratitude to tell Jian Dan, but his situation did not allow him to do so.

Of course, Jian Dan knew what he meant. “It’s nothing, Xiaoting is a friend of mine too.”

“If I don’t make it, I hope you can look after Xiaoting for me!” He said with all the strength he could muster.

“Bro, don’t talk like this, you’re going to be fine!” Xiaoting threw herself at the side of her brother’s bed, clinging tightly to his hand, tears streaming uncontrollably from her eyes like rain…

Old Eight made an effort to lift his arm and gently touched Xiaoting’s hair, his eyes full of tenderness.

“He must have surgery now!” Yun reminded from the side.

“Okay! Let’s step outside!” Jian Dan pulled Xiaoting up. “Xiaoting, let’s go outside!”

“Bro, I won’t leave you!”

“Xiaoting, if you want him to live, you need to leave!”

After hearing Jian Dan’s words, Xiaoting calmed down a bit.

Before leaving, Jian Dan turned her head slowly and spoke to Old Eight. “If you love your sister, you will pull through! Her future is your responsibility!”

Watching the door close, Xiaoting’s tears broke loose again, crying aloud on Jian Dan’s shoulder.

“Xiaoting, don’t worry, your brother won’t have any problems!”

“Really? I’m really scared! I’m afraid of losing him!” Xiaoting looked up into Jian Dan’s eyes.

“Yes! Because he loves you, and those who love you won’t easily leave you!

Right, Uncle~”

“Right!”

“Xiaoting, did you hear that? Uncle said so.

Your brother will be just fine!”

Xiaoting looked at Jian Dan and nodded emphatically…
