Chapter 42: It’ll Get Better

Xu Ciye couldn’t stand it anymore and shouted loudly, "Pei Xiubai! Calm down for me!"

Even the bodyguard noticed something was wrong and couldn’t help but speak up, "Mr. Pei, you..."

"He will!"

The little girl’s mouth was almost pinched into a chicken’s beak by him, and her speech was muffled, but her clear and pure big eyes were stunningly beautiful, carrying a kind of convincing sincerity:

"Brother will definitely get better! Li Li promises!"

The book said that after Brother Pei became a vegetative state and woke up, his luck turned very, very good, and within a few months, he found a doctor who could cure his legs and even defeated the male lead!

Facing her sincere and clear big eyes, Pei Xiubai’s expression remained indifferent as always, but his cold and hard heart trembled fiercely.

Surely...

He will get better.

She really believes... he will get better?

The tip of his heart felt like it was gently brushed by a feather, and suddenly, for some reason, all his previously surging irritability and violent emotions gradually calmed down.

Just when everyone thought he would burst into rage again, even Xu Ciye had made up his mind to save Lu Li no matter what!

Unexpectedly, in the next second, the young man unexpectedly released his hand, his gaze obscure and uncertain as he looked at the little girl, his thin lips pressed very tightly.

There were actually people who believed his leg could be healed.

How ridiculous.

Too ridiculous.

Even he didn’t believe there would be a day he could be cured, but this little thing...

Xu Ciye saw him let go and breathed a huge sigh of relief, quickly going over to check Lu Li’s little face.

Her skin was tender and white, leaving red marks with the slightest pinch.

Not to mention, she had been pinched by Pei Xiubai for so long and he pinched so hard.

The little girl’s cheeks already showed bruised fingerprints.

"Li Li, does it hurt?" Xu Ciye squatted down, his eyes full of heartache, and said softly, "If it hurts, uncle will take you to the doctor."

"It doesn’t hurt."

The little loli obediently shook her head, it really didn’t hurt, it was just that her skin was too delicate.

However, it did hurt a lot when brother was pinching her earlier.

Hum, bad brother!

Her face was almost pinched thin by him!

Over there, the black-haired boy pursed his petal-like crimson lips, his deep dark gaze falling on Lu Li’s injured face, his fingers tightened.

He never regretted what he did!

Moreover, she was the one who brought up his legs first, so her current outcome was entirely because she was nosy and deserved it!

But his heart sank, as if submerged into the depths, inexplicably leaving him somewhat irritable.

The boy forced himself to look away and coldly said to the bodyguard behind him, "Why are you still standing there! Let’s go!"

The bodyguard, as if waking from a dream, hurriedly pushed the wheelchair, but before they walked a few steps, the little girl’s crisp childish voice came again from behind:

"Brother Pei..."

Xu Ciye and the bodyguard’s scalps tingled once again.

They instinctively felt no good could come from this.

The bodyguard pretended not to hear, continuing to push the wheelchair forward, while Xu Ciye quickly stopped the little loli, preventing her from recklessly courting death again.

Both sides were harmonious for the first time.

Just as they reached the exit, the little nasally voice became a bit urgent this time.

"Brother Pei..."

"Stop."

Suddenly, the boy slightly turned his face, speaking coldly.

Since he’d spoken, the bodyguard really didn’t dare to play dead, so he had to stop.

Xu Ciye was helpless against the little loli; as soon as the little girl looked at him with teary eyes and showed an aggrieved expression, he couldn’t hold back and wanted to give her his life.

There was no way he’d dare stop her.

Thus, the little loli smoothly ran to him again.

The boy lifted his pitch-black eyes and saw her cheeks with faint red marks. He paused and then softly spoke, "...What do you want with me?"

The bodyguard looked at him in astonishment.

It was the first time he had seen the young master speak so... gently.

And with no trace of impatience and annoyance on his face.

Xu Ciye came over and stood by Lu Li, ready to take the little girl and run out if anything went wrong.

Directly telling him, it was unlikely anything good would come of this.

Indeed.

The little loli pursed her little mouth, her pale and tender face extraordinarily serious. She looked at the boy with an overwhelmingly cute expression, her eyes eagerly pleading:

"Brother Pei, can you kiss me again?"
