Chapter 474: Heartache

The courtyard Xiao Sheng rented was only ten minutes away from the hospital. Because it was the new year, the streets were very lively.

However, Xiao Sheng and Xiao Lin were not interested. As long as the surgery wasn’t done yet, they would feel uneasy.

The two of them walked home under the dim yellow street lamp in the alley. When they arrived at the door, they saw a petite figure standing beside the courtyard door. Her head was wrapped tightly in a scarf and she looked very sleepy. There were two bags on the ground and the rope holding the bags was held by the owner.

Xiao Lin was wondering why someone would come looking for them when they were only tenants. He thought that the other party had come to the wrong door.

However, Xiao Sheng recognized the person standing at a glance and hurriedly ran forward. When he saw Yu Bing with her eyes closed and head lowered, his heart ached.

Xiao Sheng shook Yu Bing’s shoulder gently and shouted softly, “Yu Bing, Yu

Bing…”

Yu Bing woke up and slowly opened her eyes. There was a hint of sleepiness in her soft voice and she sounded like she was wheedling as she said, “You’re back. ”

When Xiao Lin heard his brother call for her, he realized that it was Yu Bing. He ran forward and opened the door as he asked happily, “Sister Yu Bing, why are you here?”

Yu Bing was extremely sleepy now. Previously, she had waited for the stamp for an entire day, and after getting on the train, she didn’t dare to fall asleep. However, when she heard Xiao Lin’s question, she tried her best to smile and joke, “Why? Am I not welcome?”

Xiao Lin hurriedly smiled and replied, “Of course you’re welcome!”

Xiao Sheng took the luggage from Yu Bing. “When did you arrive? Did you wait for a long time?”

Yu Bing shook her head groggily. “I didn’t wait long. I arrived at eight-thirty.”

It was already past nine o’clock, which meant that Yu Bing had been standing in the wind for more than half an hour.

Xiao Sheng brought Yu Bing into the house. Seeing that Yu Bing could barely even keep her eyes open, his heart ached. “Yu Bing, sleep in Xiao Li’s room. Her blanket is clean.”

At this moment, Yu Bing was so sleepy that she couldn’t think straight, so she followed Xiao Sheng mindlessly.

Hearing Xiao Li’s name, she opened her eyes and looked at the two brothers in front of her. Only then did she realize that someone was missing. “Where’s Xiao

Xiao Sheng held Yu Bing’s hand as he entered Xiao Li’s room and he explained, “The doctor said that she has to be hospitalized before the surgery, so I asked a nurse to take care of her. Hurry up and get some rest now.”

Yu Bing was relieved when she heard this. Coupled with the fact that she had already reached a safe environment, she closed her eyes as she followed Xiao Sheng.

Xiao Sheng stopped in front of the bed. Seeing that Yu Bing was about to rush forward with her eyes closed, he hurriedly stopped her and pressed her against the bed.

Xiao Sheng shook his head helplessly. Then, he untied the scarf Yu Bing was wrapped in and took off her hair tie. Then, he began to help Yu Bing take off her clothes, shoes, and pants until only her autumn clothes were left. Xiao Sheng didn’t have any lustful thoughts at this moment. He only wanted Yu Bing to rest.

Yu Bing cooperated the entire time. The fabric of the blanket was so cold that

Yu Bing shivered, but because she was too sleepy, she fell asleep nonetheless.

Xiao Sheng was amused by Yu Bing’s lack of vigilance. After reaching out to cover her with the blanket, he carefully tucked in the corners of the blanket and turned on the stove in the room.

S City was humid, in contrast to the dry and cold temperature in Jiang Province. The cold here was bone-deep. In addition, there was no adobe bed, so one had to burn a stove when sleeping. Otherwise, one might catch a cold.

After the room slowly warmed up, Xiao Sheng sat by Yu Bing’s bed. Then, he reached out his index finger and scratched the tip of Yu Bing’s nose gently as he said softly, “Little thing, did you come to give me a surprise?”

Yu Bing, who was already asleep, naturally couldn’t reply to him. Xiao Sheng’s heart softened and he leaned over to kiss Yu Bing’s forehead before getting up to leave.

When Yu Bing woke up, the sunlight was already very bright outside.

She opened her eyes groggily and was still in a daze when she suddenly saw an unfamiliar environment. After a few seconds, she came back to her senses and yawned. When she saw the neatly folded clothes and pants beside the pillow, she picked them up and put them on..
