The white rose I picked up cried and said she liked me.

At this moment, Xu Nian, lying in the hospital room, was completely unaware that she had become the center of attention for everyone outside the door.

After waking up for a while, I regained some strength.

He began to slowly move his body, assessing his condition based on the pain he felt.

First of all, my head hurts.

The doctor said he had a three-centimeter wound on his head, caused by fragments of his helmet breaking off when it hit the ground.

If he hadn't been wearing a helmet, he would have died on the spot.

He couldn't help but feel secretly glad that he hadn't skipped wearing a helmet because he thought it was too much trouble.

My legs felt like they were filled with lead, I couldn't move them, they felt like they weighed a ton.

Every time he tried to exert force, a piercing pain would come.

Both legs were fractured and wrapped in thick plaster casts and bandages.

My right hand was also burning with pain, while my left hand was less injured and I could barely do some simple movements.

However, his left hand was covered with various IV tubes and instruments, making movement extremely difficult.

Xu Nian sighed, resigned herself to her fate, and lay down on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.

Fortunately, I survived.

The door to the ward opened.

Xu Xi walked in carrying a bowl of porridge.

"Brother, are you hungry? I got you a bowl of porridge. The doctor said you can only eat liquids for a while."

Xu Nian wanted to nod, but the intense pain in the back of his neck made it difficult for him to finish, so he simply hummed in agreement.

"Little Creek, where are the others?"

"Yaoyao and the others... have gone back to school."

Xu Xi slowly raised the headboard to a suitable height for eating.

"The first step in overturning the plan is to take good care of Xu Nian Ge in every detail, so that he can feel your reliability."

Just now at the door, Wen Yao made this plan.

So they decided to leave only Xu Xi at the hospital to take care of Xu Nian, leaving space for the two of them to be together.

The others checked into a hotel next to the hospital, ready to help Xu Xi at any time.

After setting up the small table, Xu Xi rolled up her sleeves, tied her hair, scooped a spoonful of porridge, and held it to her brother's lips.

"Brother, open your mouth, ah~"

Xu Nian blushed for no apparent reason.

Are you being fed by someone else?

This is the first time.

Even when I was a child, I never enjoyed such treatment.

The girl before me, with her gentle appearance.

Just like the angels who descend to earth in fairy tales.

He opened his lips tremblingly and swallowed the spoon from the fair, delicate hand.

In an instant, a scalding hot sensation came from the tip of my tongue.

"Phew...! It's so hot...!"

He immediately opened his mouth wide, gasping for air, his tongue flailing up and down, too hot to speak.

"Huh??? I'm...I'm sorry, brother!"

Xu Xi's face turned pale, and she was at a loss for what to do.

Water...yes! Cold water!

She looked around for bottled water to cool her brother down, but she had come in such a hurry that she hadn't prepared any food or drink beforehand.

Just then, a loud cough came from outside the door.

Xu Xi turned around and saw Wen Yao peeking out her little head, pointing to her open mouth, and then making a blowing motion.

She immediately understood, leaned down to her brother's face, and gently blew cool air into his mouth.

"Huff...huff...huff..."

Finally, the scalding hot porridge was cooled by blowing on it and swallowed by Xu Nian.

"It's okay... Xiaoxi, I can manage on my own."

Xu Nian coughed lightly twice, then struggled to reach out her left hand to take a spoon out of the bowl, intending to drink the porridge herself.

Although I was very touched, I've been used to relying on myself since I was a child, and being fed by others always felt a little strange.

However, the dense network of IV tubing severely restricted the movement of his left hand.

Before she could even get a spoonful of porridge to her mouth, half of it spilled onto the blanket.

"Brother, let me do it."

Xu Nian sighed and finally let her younger sister take the spoon from her hand.

"Brother, I'm sorry... I'll be more careful next time."

Xu Xi picked up a spoonful of porridge, first puffed out her little mouth and blew on it, then gently tasted it to make sure the temperature was right before feeding it steadily to her brother.

This time, the porridge was no longer scalding hot, but smooth and delicious.

The girl fed him slowly, and the boy chewed slowly.

Being fed seems to feel pretty good.

......

After the meal, Xu Xi gently laid the hospital bed flat, tidied up the trash, and prepared to take it out of the ward to dispose of it.

As soon as they reached the door, Wen Yao grabbed her arm and stuffed a bag of mineral water and some cookies and snacks into her hand.

"Wait a minute, there's more."

Qi Yu huffed and puffed as he carried up a folding bed, while Zhao Lin, carrying bedding and a hot water bottle, jogged over to Xu Xi's side.

"The bed for the caregiver is too hard. You haven't had a good rest for many days. Sleep on this one."

"Thank you... thank you everyone..."

Xu Xi sincerely thanked her.

"Oh, it's nothing. We'll be going now. Call us if you need anything. The hotel is nearby, it'll only take a few minutes."

...

Carrying large and small bags back to the ward, Xu Xi sat by the bedside and once again tightly grasped her brother's arm.

"Xiaoxi...why don't you go back to school? Exams are coming up soon, and you must be under a lot of pressure studying lately."

Xu Nian raised her hand slightly, her fingertips slowly tracing across the girl's cheek.

Including the two days he was in a coma, his sister has been with him at the hospital for three days now.

He didn't want to delay his sister's studies because of himself.

"What are you saying, brother!"

Xu Xi pouted unhappily and scolded him.

"What could be more important than my brother?"

"If my brother doesn't leave the hospital, I won't leave either. I want to stay here with him!"

After saying that, she took her brother's hand and rubbed it on the top of her head.

She knew her brother really enjoyed the feeling of stroking her hair.

At the same time, she also enjoyed the feeling of being patted on the head by her brother.

Upon hearing this, Xu Nian's Adam's apple bobbed slightly.

"But didn't you stay up all night studying at school for a week recently...?"

Xu Xi suddenly realized that during the week she lost contact with her brother, Wen Yao and the others had told him that they were studying for exams.

But she certainly couldn't tell her brother the whole story.

If the older brother knew that they deliberately separated the two of them after learning that the older brother liked him.

If the favorability rating isn't maxed out, it will lead to a bad ending.

So, she rolled her big, bright eyes and told a lie.

"Oh... Brother, you know I learn very quickly. Even in the hospital, I can still review."

"I'm sure I'll get a perfect score on the final exam."

Hearing this, Xu Nian breathed a slight sigh of relief.

But then he remembered something else.

He gently turned his head to one side, revealing only half of his flushed face, and made a sound as soft as a mosquito's buzz.

"Then...why do you still live in the dormitory instead of going back to the shop to study...?"

Xu Xi was slightly taken aback, covered her mouth, and looked on in disbelief.

Brother, what is this...?

She suppressed her pounding heart and leaned close to her brother's ear.

The two were so close that Xu Nian could clearly smell the fragrance emanating from the girl's nose.

"Brother, are you... reluctant to leave the stream?"

He did not answer.

The girl looked at the increasingly deep blush on the boy's cheeks and smiled slightly.
