I really like your sand sculpture group friends

Yan Nuoya nodded slightly to her, her cool eyes conveying silent support.

Just then, the attending physician and several nurses walked in, breaking the warm but slightly tense atmosphere in the ward.

"Bai Shishi, are you ready? We need to go to the operating room to prepare," the doctor said calmly.

Everyone's eyes immediately focused on Bai Shishi.

"Go for it, Shishi!"

"We'll be waiting for you outside!"

"Don't be afraid!"

Under the concerned and encouraging gazes of everyone, Bai Shishi finally lifted her head from Mo Xiangwen's arms.

She took a deep breath, and the last trace of timidity she had felt was dispelled by her determination.

She looked at Mo Xiangwen, then at everyone around her, and finally nodded vigorously, her eyes bright and clear, without a trace of confusion.

"Yes! I will do my best!" Bai Shishi pursed her lips and said firmly, "Everyone, wait for me to come back."

Chapter 239 Shishi: I want a kiss. (4K5 combined)

Consciousness seemed to slowly rise to the surface from the deep sea.

Bai Shishi struggled to open her heavy eyelids. Her vision was initially blurry, and she could only see the white ceiling above her and the soft light.

The effects of the anesthesia had not completely worn off, and her thinking was still somewhat sluggish.

A familiar voice rang in her ears, with obvious laughter: "You're awake? The surgery was a success. Congratulations, you're a lovely girl now."

This tone... isn't Xiang Wen's.

Bai Shishi tried to focus her gaze on the bedside.

Su Mengyao was looking down at her, her face beaming with a bright smile that also seemed to indicate she had pulled off a prank.

"Really..." Bai Shishi recognized her and complained softly with a sense of long-lost feeling, "Sister Mengyao is teasing me again."

Su Mengyao blinked, looking completely innocent: "No way! I'm just telling the truth! The surgery was indeed very successful, and our Shishi is truly a very, very lovely girl. Is there anything wrong with those two things?"

Seeing her sophistry yet self-righteous manner, Bai Shishi couldn't help but smile.

At that moment, another figure approached; it was Yan Nuoya.

She didn't say anything, but gently leaned down and gave Bai Shishi a brief but warm hug, then whispered in her ear, "Congratulations, Shishi."

Although Noah's tone was as aloof as ever, Shishi could indeed sense her feelings from it.

Bai Ye and Fu Qianping immediately gathered around, the mother gently stroking her forehead, while the father's eyes showed undisguised excitement and relief.

Feeling everyone's care, a warm current flowed through my whole body.

Bai Shishi's gaze swept around the bedside, a hint of barely perceptible expectation in her eyes, and she asked softly, "Where's Xiang Wen?"

Su Mengyao blinked and immediately chimed in, her tone tinged with complaint: "Xiang Wen? Well, after hearing the doctor say your surgery was successful and everything went smoothly outside the operating room, he seemed to have a huge weight lifted off his shoulders. Then he said he wanted to go see the doctor for a check-up on his foot injury right away. He said if the injury isn't serious, he should be discharged. Although hospital beds aren't scarce, it's not good to keep occupying a spot."

Really... He's not here.

A slight sense of disappointment swept through Bai Shishi's heart, and the bright smile on her face dimmed slightly, as if the sunlight was being slightly obscured by thin clouds.

Su Mengyao keenly noticed the subtle change in her emotions, and leaned closer with a grin, her finger almost poking her face: "Oh dear, your disappointed expression is practically written all over your face..."

Before she could finish speaking, Yan Nuoya calmly interrupted her teasing: "Mo Xiangwen said that since he can no longer be hospitalized as a patient, he needs to hurry up and buy a comfortable recliner or folding bed. That way, he can legitimately continue to stay in the hospital to take care of you. Mengli was worried that his foot injury hadn't fully healed and that he would have difficulty moving around on his own, so she went out with him."

Bai Shishi was stunned. The slight disappointment she had just felt was instantly washed away by an even stronger surge of warmth. Her heart felt full and swollen, as if something had filled it.

Just then, familiar voices came from the door of the ward.

It was Su Mengli's voice, tinged with a hint of helplessness yet also containing a smile: "Take it easy. Shishi just had surgery and might not be awake yet. Don't rush her."

Then came Mo Xiangwen's slightly anxious, yet deliberately lowered voice: "She should be awake by now, the anesthesia should have worn off. It would be terrible if Shishi woke up and found that the two of us weren't here."

Before the words were finished, the two walked into the ward one after the other.

Mo Xiangwen's gaze almost immediately fell on Bai Shishi's hospital bed, and he met her eyes as she looked at him.

Eyes facing each other.

Bai Shishi looked at him, and a bright smile slowly bloomed on her face. The smile seemed to dispel all her unease and fatigue, and was full of new vitality.

She said softly but proudly, "Xiang Wen, I did it."

Mo Xiangwen gazed at her pale yet brightly smiling face, listening to her proud declaration, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly.

He remained silent for a moment, as if trying to imprint this moment deeply into his mind, and then nodded heavily.

"Yes. Shishi succeeded."

He leaned on his cane and walked to the bedside with Su Mengli.

Mo Xiangwen reached out and, as usual, gently stroked Bai Shishi's head.

Su Mengli smiled and offered her congratulations: "Shishi, you're great, that's wonderful."

……

Time passed quietly, and the sky outside the window gradually darkened as night fell.

As the visitors gradually left, Bai Ye and Fu Qianping went back to rest after repeatedly giving them instructions. The Su sisters and Yan Nuoya were also persuaded to go back by Mo Xiangwen.

In the end, only Mo Xiangwen and Bai Shishi, who needed to rest quietly, remained in the ward.

After confirming that everyone had left, Mo Xiangwen took out his phone, opened a document, and the light from the screen illuminated his face.

He looked at Bai Shishi with gentle eyes: "Shishi, do you want to watch the finale of 'The Junior Sister Development Plan' that I promised you before?"

Bai Shishi's eyes immediately lit up, filled with anticipation.

She instinctively wanted to sit up and move closer to him.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Mo Xiangwen asked immediately upon seeing this.

Bai Shishi shook her head and whispered, "I want to... be closer to Xiang Wen, so we can watch together."

Mo Xiangwen chuckled, his heart softening as he was about to agree, but his remaining rationality dissuaded him, saying, "Shishi just had surgery today, so she should try to move around as little as possible and rest properly."

Bai Shishi blinked and immediately offered an alternative, with a hint of slyness: "Then... Xiang Wen, why don't you sit on the bed?"

Seeing her expectant eyes, Mo Xiangwen smiled helplessly and indulgently, carefully moved his body, sat down on the edge of the bed, and tried not to touch her.

As soon as he settled down, Bai Shishi tilted her head contentedly and gently leaned it against his shoulder.

The two leaned close together, their eyes fixed on the phone screen, and began to read the agreed-upon ending.

Although it was his own work, sitting with Shishi to watch it, especially the confession parts, still made Mo Xiangwen feel a little embarrassed.

Two hours of reading time passed quietly in a reassuring silence.

When she saw the last sentence, Bai Shishi let out a long sigh of relief, her face showing satisfaction and a touch of whimsy.

"Although the main character was the first to confess to Bai Shiyin... in the end, everyone got together, which is great." She concluded softly.

Strange, why did she put it so calmly?

“Yes,” Mo Xiangwen put away his phone, turned his head, and looked deeply into her scarlet eyes, his voice low and serious, “So, Shishi, I like you.”

He paused, then poured out the emotions that had been brewing in his heart for so long, in the simplest and most sincere words. There were no fancy words, only clumsy yet burning sincerity, each word striking Bai Shishi's heart.

Bai Shishi listened quietly, her cheeks flushed, her heart pounding like a drum.

When he finally finished speaking, she looked up, her eyes sparkling with a hint of mischief: "Anything else?"

Mo Xiangwen was slightly taken aback, not quite understanding: "There's more?"

"What about the phrase 'and everyone else'?" Bai Shishi reminded her. "Didn't you... already tell Sister Mengyao that?"

Mo Xiangwen was stunned, looking at her with some surprise: "How did you know..."

Bai Shishi pouted slightly, with a hint of jealousy: "Didn't you say you were going to give Mengyao a copy of 'Once Upon a Time'? And lately, Mengyao has been especially affectionate towards you, Xiang Wen. I'm... a little envious."

Her voice grew softer and softer, carrying the innocent honesty of a young girl.

Mo Xiangwen couldn't help but chuckle: "You guessed it just like that?"

“Xiang Wen, don’t forget,” Bai Shishi raised her chin, a hint of pride in her voice, “I will play every single game you play.”

Is this something to be proud of? Mo Xianwen chuckled and gently pinched her cheek.

“But you were either preparing for the college entrance exam or hospitalized before…” Mo Xiangwen was still a little confused.

"I haven't had time to play yet," Bai Shishi explained. "But, to avoid getting a bad ending, I'll look at the walkthrough and plot summary beforehand to prepare. And then... I saw that famous line."

"I see," Mo Xiangwen suddenly realized.

"Yes. I like Shishi, and... I like everyone."

Upon hearing his admission, Bai Shishi was not angry at all. Instead, she seemed relieved, and happily nuzzled his shoulder with the top of her head, like a comforted kitten.

“Yes! I like Xiang Wen the most too!” she said again.

Although unsurprisingly, such a direct approach still left him speechless for a moment.

After hesitating for a moment, Mo Xiangwen asked softly, with a hint of trepidation, "Shishi... won't you think I'm being greedy or fickle?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Shishi frowned and thought about it seriously for a moment before saying, "Of course I would think so."

She raised her eyes and looked directly at him, her eyes so clear that she could see his reflection in them. "Logically speaking, I like Xiang Wen the most, and I only like Xiang Wen. So Xiang Wen should feel the same way."

She changed the subject, her tone carrying a hint of helplessness: "But... well, that's just how much I like Xiang Wen."

This seemingly helpless but actually straightforward confession struck Mo Xiangwen's heart with immense emotion and guilt.

He reached out and stroked her long hair even more gently, then gently embraced her.

"I'm sorry, Shishi... But I will try my best to like Shishi the way she likes me. I will be very, very good to you."

Bai Shishi enjoyed his caresses and embraces, a sweet smile tinged with a hint of smugness on her face: "Hmph, even Xiang Wen couldn't possibly like you more than I do! But..."

She paused for a moment, then said as if it were a matter of course, "Of course I still believe in Xiang Wen, no matter what."

She gazed out the window at the deep night, her voice becoming softer: "And, as a friend, I am truly grateful to them. Whether it's Sister Mengli, who always takes care of everyone gently, or Sister Nuoya, who is not talkative but always reliable, or Sister Mengyao, who is always lively and brings joy to everyone... they are all very, very good people."

"I think that I'm where I am today, although 90% of it is thanks to Xiang Wen," Bai Shishi said with a slight smile. "But the remaining 10% is also thanks to everyone who was willing to play with me, spend their time helping me with my study plans, teaching me, and encouraging me."

"I wouldn't dare claim 90% of the credit." Mo Xiangwen released her and gently shook his head. "The credit belongs to Shishi herself. I just chatted with Shishi, played games with Shishi, and studied with Shishi. I was also very happy when I was with Shishi. If I had to say, I would only dare to share the remaining 10% of the credit with everyone."

Bai Shishi bumped her head against his chest in dissatisfaction and whispered, "I said it's true, and it is true. Xiang Wen has no idea what it meant to me back then that Xiang Wen always noticed me. Besides, if Xiang Wen hadn't been with me all the time, they wouldn't have played with me."

"Alright, alright." Mo Xiangwen didn't intend to argue with her about this matter.

"Oh right, Xiang Wen, I've graduated and the surgery is over." Bai Shishi seemed to have suddenly remembered something, her tone filled with a hint of excitement.

"Yes, congratulations on Shishi's graduation."

"Although I don't know if I can get into H school." Although she was saying something that didn't sound very confident, Shishi's tone sounded somewhat indifferent.

“Shishi has already tried her best, the rest is up to luck.” Mo Xiangwen hesitated for a moment, then decided not to raise her expectations too high, lest Shishi experience a huge psychological letdown. “Besides, no matter what, we will always be together.”

"Hmm, but that's not what I wanted to say." Bai Shishi winked at him playfully: "Xiang Wen, guess what I want to say now."

Mo Xiangwen was stunned. How could he have guessed wrong?

He thought for a moment, then asked hesitantly, "Can I play games with everyone to my heart's content now?"

"Oh, although that's good and important, it's not," Bai Shishi shook her head.

"what is that?"

"Of course, it means I'm free, I don't have to be bound by rules anymore."

"Does that mean we can go out and play whenever we want from now on?"

"Oh, you silly boy, even though Xiang Wen is a bit silly, I still like him the most."

Mo Xiangwen was also helpless; he couldn't think of anything that she could look forward to for the time being.

Bai Shishi looked at his helpless expression, covered her mouth and chuckled secretly, then tilted her head slightly and whispered in his ear as softly as possible.

"Of course, I can finally be intimate with Xiang Wen and do many things I want to do."

Upon hearing this, Bai Shishi's cheeks instantly turned bright red. She lay back on the bed and pulled up the lid to cover her face.

That's really true.

He never imagined that Bai Shishi, with her personality, could be so proactive.
