Endless Fall

  Chapter 21 I will meet better later

  Lin Jiao knew why her emotions collapsed.

   She leaned down and leaned in Lan Ying's arms in an intimate manner, comforting her for a long time before pulling her back from the vicious circle of self-blame.

   "Jiaojiao, it's alright." Lan Ying stopped crying and covered her back with a hand clutching a tissue: "I will meet better in the future."

"I know."

   She still believes in love.

   Just like...believing that there will always be a sunrise after sunset, even if you are in the dark, you will not exclude the light.

   "Knock Knock-"

   "Sister." Xue Jing, who came back after eating ice cream, asked softly, "Can I come in?"

   "Yes." Lin Jiao straightened up.

   She watched him jump with his short legs, and subconsciously stretched out her hands and hugged him.

  Xue Jing put one hand on the back of her neck and leaned over to look at the hospital bed: "Mom, does your head still hurt?"

   "It doesn't hurt anymore."

   "Then when do we go home?"

   "I have to ask Uncle Doctor about this." Lan Ying pinched his cheek, and when he got closer, he could smell the sweet fragrance keenly.

   She asked, "Xiao Jing, have you eaten candy again?"

"I do not have."

   "Mom can smell it."

  Xue Jing panicked and didn't tell himself: "I eat ice cream." He pointed to the door and smiled: "My brother bought it for me."

   "Which brother?"

   "My sister's colleague."

  Lan Ying still doesn't know about Lin Jiao's entry.

   Her puzzled expression changed when it fell into Xue Jing's eyes. He explained, "Mom, he doesn't like my sister."

  “…” What is this all about?

  Lin Jiao put down Xue Jing, showed an embarrassed yet gentle smile, got up and said, "Mom, I'll go out and talk to him first."

  Lan Ying responded, turned her head and grabbed Xue Jing's ear: "You are not allowed to watch the eight o'clock file in the future."

"for…"

   "Don't ask why."

  Xue Jing's little face suddenly wrinkled.

   He tickled Donald Duck on his T-shirt twice, looked out the door again, and waited for his sister to come back to help him.

  Lin Jiao can't care about him at the moment.

   She took Qu Shao's mobile phone, walked to a no-man's land, and said to Pei Zhi on the other end of the phone, "Uncle, I'm fine."

   "Is your mother awake?"

   "Wake up, my brother is with her."

"That's good."

   Pei Zhi originally wanted to go there in person, but he was afraid that it would be too deliberate, so he had to endure it.

   He leaned his head up on the back of the chair: "I heard Qu Shao say that your mother is going to stay in the hospital for observation?"

   "Yeah." Lin Jiao listened to his voice, and her tense nerves gradually relaxed.

   "Did you ask for an escort?"

   "Not yet."

   "Then let Qu Shao help you." Before she could speak, Pei Zhi said again: "There is nothing wrong with the company, and I can rest assured that he is here."

  Lin Jiao swallowed her refusal.

   She was silent and smiled lightly: "Uncle, I don't even know how to thank you."

   "Just treat me to dinner."

  "..." She didn't make up what she owed before: "Then you come to my house for dinner tomorrow night?"

   "You cook?"

   "Yes, my craft is not bad."

   Pei Zhi raised his eyebrows: "Okay." He tapped on the back of the phone casually: "Go ahead and tell me when you get home."

  Lin Jiao responded and returned along the original road.

   She told Qu Shao about asking for an escort, and asked him to open Alipay: "I'll transfer the money to you."

   "Miss Lin, all I use is public funds."

  Qu Shao didn't lie.

   He put the phone back in his pocket: "After your mother is discharged from the hospital, I will give you the bill, and you can just pass it to the boss."

  Lin Jiao didn't bother anymore: "Well, thank you."
