Chapter 1368: Chapter 1368: He’s Here (6)
“Sister, Xiao Ji is so badly injured. Why don’t you stay and take care of him for a couple of days?” Jiang Su was eager to repay Xiao Ji for saving her life…
Since the person Xiao Ji most wanted to see was clearly Su Hongxing, having Su Hongxing stay to care for him couldn’t be better.
Before Su Hongxing could say anything, Ye Qilan coldly interrupted, “Absolutely not!”
Letting Su Hongxing stay by Xiao Ji’s side? That would be like sending her straight into the jaws of a tiger.
Jiang Su was very dissatisfied with Ye Qilan’s domineering attitude. “Brother-in-law, can’t you show a little compassion? Xiao Ji is so badly injured. Let my sister keep him company. It’s not like it costs you anything…”
“He saved you. What right do you have to make your sister take care of him for you? Jiang Su, your problem is your responsibility; my wife has no obligation to pay your debts.” Ye Qilan’s icy gaze swept over Jiang Su, his eyes cold as frost.
Under Ye Qilan’s piercing stare, Jiang Su faltered and stammered, “Brother-in-law, you’re just being tyrannical. My sister hasn’t even said she’s unwilling to stay and take care of Xiao Ji.”
Su Hongxing turned to look at Jiang Su and said calmly, “Xiao Ji saved your life. It’s only right for you to take care of him. Your brother-in-law isn’t wrong–what you owe, you have to repay yourself. No one else can do it for you.”
“Sister, just help me this once…” Jiang Su tried to plead further.
Su Hongxing’s expression grew colder. “Xiaosu, why can’t you understand? I have nothing to do with Xiao Ji. We’re not even friends at this point. Given that, why should I stay and take care of him just because he’s sick?”
She simply didn’t want to complicate something that should be straightforward, but Jiang Su insisted on dragging her into it. That girl was just as unaware of social propriety as ever.
Hearing this, Jiang Su was at a loss for words. She instinctively turned to look at Xiao Ji.
Xiao Ji, anxious to say something, moved and aggravated his injury.
Seeing this, Jiang Su wanted to fetch a doctor.
Seizing the moment, Ye Qilan pulled Su Hongxing, intending to leave. Xiao Ji watched this unfold and, in his desperation, called out, “Amou…”
It was barely a cry; his voice was hoarse and faint. But both Su Hongxing and Ye Qilan heard it clearly, as did Jiang Su, who was the closest.
“Xiao Ji, my sister will come visit you another day. Don’t worry for now,” Jiang Su said as she glanced at Su Hongxing.
Su Hongxing and Ye Qilan were already standing at the door. Both of them had heard Xiao Ji call Su Hongxing by her childhood nickname, and their expressions turned a bit strange.
Su Hongxing walked back to the bedside and looked down at Xiao Ji. “What did you just call me?”
Xiao Ji had always called her “Xingxing.” The only other person who liked to call her by that childhood nickname was Ye Qilan. Why had Xiao Ji just addressed her like that? It was too strange.
Xiao Ji wanted to speak but couldn’t. In his distress, he struggled restlessly.
Suppressing the panic rising in her heart, Su Hongxing softened her tone. “Don’t worry. I’ll stay and take care of you today. Right now, the most important thing is for you to rest and heal.”
Could it be that Ye Qilan’s soul had entered Xiao Ji’s body?

The attending doctor had mentioned earlier, hadn’t he, that Xiao Ji’s heart had stopped beating for a time in the emergency room…
Before long, the doctor and nurses entered to check on Xiao Ji’s condition. Seeing that he was highly agitated, they administered a sedative, and Xiao Ji finally drifted into unconsciousness.
“The patient is seriously injured and shouldn’t be overly emotional. Please take care to prioritize his physical recovery.” The attending doctor emphasized this before leaving.
“Wife, let’s go home!” Ye Qilan walked up to Su Hongxing and attempted to take her away.
He had also heard Xiao Ji call Su Hongxing by her childhood nickname earlier, and an ominous feeling began to creep over him.
