The rims of Xu Mey's eyes turned red. All her earlier embarrassment was gone. Now, she just felt sad inside knowing that Wu Wang actually cried. And that too because of her.
She knew how much her best friends hated seeing her upset. But this feeling was mutual. She also didn't like seeing them upset. She would always smile for their sake because she knew what could her one frown do to them.
Xu Mey wrapped her arms around Wu Wang and choked out, "Wang Ge, I'm so sorry for making you worry."
Wu Wang felt depressed. How could he see his little girl cry? It was all that blockhead doctor's fault! Just when he thought she wasn't that bad, there she goes ruining everything for him.
Wu Wang patted Xu Mey's back. "Mey, I didn't cry because of you. It was all those old people who shifted their negative thoughts to me. So, technically, they are the reason I cried. As for you..." He pulled her back a bit to let him see her face and said, "You are my bravest sister in the world. There is no way anyone can take you from me. I knew my little girl will be alright. She's a fighter after all."
Xu Mey could feel the sincerity in his words and it meant a lot to her. It always did. Yes, she was a fighter! And she will never stop fighting for their sake.
Yang Ziyi finally understood everything. Wu Wang wasn't lying for his own sake. He was lying for Xu Mey's sake. For a second, she wondered, 'What kind of a bond is this?' But she couldn't find an answer.
"If you guys are here to make my baby cry, please find your way out." Jie who was stuck on the bed could only threaten from his place.
Since Jie was the one who ruined their moment, Wu Wang looked at him with narrowed eyes. He slowly pulled himself away from Xu Mey and smiled which definitely wasn't real.
"Jian, this cousin of yours said he can't recognize our Mey," Wu Wang was speaking to He Jian but his eyes were stuck on Jie like a predator was eyeing his prey.
"He sure did. I couldn't rest properly thinking about that." He Jian also gave the same reaction as Wu Wang.
"Sh*t!" Jie cursed as he saw the four of them coming up to him.
"So, what was that, Jie? Care to explain?" Lin Shen asked keeping a straight face.
"Guys, Ah-Jie was just..." Xu Mey stopped herself from explaining as she smirked and altered her words, "He used that way to punish me."
Jie widened his eyes in disbelief. 'Is my baby actually doing this to me?' He couldn't believe it.
"You did what?" All four of them roared making Jie flinch a bit.
"She was already not well and you actually dared to use such a brutal way to punish her?" Li Qiao's booming voice reverberated in the room.
"She cried so much because of you!" Lin Shen added.
"And in the end, it was all just a joke?" Wu Wang scoffed.
"Jian Ge, you should take my side here. She was wrong as well." Jie tried to use He Jian using their relationship of being cousins. But boy! Was he wrong!
"Dear cousin, if I have to choose between you and her. Believe me, I won't even blink before choosing her." Jie was going to say something but realized it was of no use. None of them really cared about what she did. So, he used the other card.
"I'm hurt right now. Can't even move. Show some mercy." Xu Mey was giggling at the side all by herself. She knew her brothers would stand up for her. This was a good chance to teach Jie a lesson that he couldn't just scare her like that ever again!
When none of them really backed off, Jie was feeling hopeless. "Are you feeling okay, brother-in-law?" Wu Wang pressed on his plaster making Jie wince in pain.
"Or should I give you a sedative? You need better sleep after all." Lin Shen jabbed at his wound on the chest. Jie was gritting his teeth at being tortured slowly like this.
"Baby, are you going to watch me crying in pain?" Jie tried to use his pitiful look on Xu Mey. It stirred Xu Mey's emotions and she wanted to stop her brothers but then she remembered how she cried pitifully for hours because of him and dropped the idea.
"Ah-Jie, deal with my brothers yourself."
Jie was surprised at her answer and made a sad face. "I wish my best friend was here. At least one person could have been on my side."
As if his prayers had been answered, suddenly someone jumped inside the room through the window alarming everyone except for one person; Jie who was rolling his eyes.
"JieJie, I caught that fish. Would you like to roast it yourself or should I use my secret..." The person clad in black was dusting off the imaginary dust but stopped as those green orbs saw people staring back her. "Wrong timing, boom!"
