"Sister Sining, do you want an apple? I'll peel it for you. Let me tell you, I can peel the apple skin so thin that not a bit of the pulp will be wasted."
In the hospital ward, Bai Ziyan took an apple from the huge fruit basket he had brought and looked at Wen Sining longingly.
Just as Wen Sining was about to nod in agreement, a hand wrapped like a mummy reached over, took the apple from Bai Ziyan's hand and put it back into the fruit basket.
"Sorry, the doctor specifically instructed that Sining can only have liquid food within 24 hours after waking up. I've brought some porridge. If Sining really wants to eat something, she can have some of the porridge."
As he spoke, the hands wrapped like a mummy held a thermos food container and offered it to Wen Sining.
Wen Sining was taken aback for a moment and quickly took it.
"… Thank you."
Hearing this, Bai Ziyan smacked his own head with a look of remorse on his face.
"It's my fault for not asking clearly in advance. Sister Sining, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to buy things you can't eat." Bai Ziyan said aggrievedly.
Wen Sining was completely charmed by his big - dog - like eyes and couldn't help but ruffle his hair a few times until his slightly curly hair became a mess like a bird's nest.
"It's okay. I can't eat them today, but I can eat them tomorrow. By the way, where's Teacher Xue? I saw him just now. Why is he gone now?"
At the mention of Xue Qing, Bai Ziyan immediately pouted and gave a heavy snort, with a look of "I'm not happy" written all over his face.
"Yo, what's going on? Did you quarrel with Teacher Xue?" Wen Sining asked curiously while taking a spoonful of the delicious and well - cooked lean meat porridge.
Bai Ziyan snorted again. His eyes glanced at Lu Luochen, who was pouring water beside them, and he said in a muffled voice:
"I didn't quarrel with him." Then Bai Ziyan moved a bit closer to Wen Sining and lowered his voice. "I just wanted to eat a marshmallow, and he wouldn't let me. Don't you think he's being too unreasonable!"
Now Wen Sining was also curious. She moved closer to Bai Ziyan and whispered, "Why didn't Teacher Xue let you eat marshmallows?"
Bai Ziyan looked furious and snorted heavily through his nose.
"He said my blood sugar is high and I'm not allowed to eat anything sweet! I don't want to eat much. I just want to take a bite to taste it, and he still won't allow it! I must not be his favorite Baibai anymore!"
Hearing this, Wen Sining swallowed the porridge in her mouth with a complicated expression. She felt that this mouthful of porridge was... disgustingly sweet!
Who on earth did she offend? Even in the hospital, she had to be force - fed dog food!
Although Wen Sining was complaining in her heart, on the surface, she still put on a look of agreeing with Bai Ziyan. She nodded and said, "Yes, Teacher Xue is really being too unreasonable. It's just one bite. What's the big deal? Baibai, don't be angry. Next time I see Teacher Xue, I'll talk to him on your behalf!"
Wen Sining had a good plan. Anyway, Bai Ziyan had a bad memory now. Maybe he would forget about this in a while. In this way, she could comfort Bai Ziyan without having to face Xue Qing directly.
It was simply killing two birds with one...
"What are you two talking about?" Suddenly, a deep voice sounded beside Wen Sining's ear, scaring her so much that she almost dropped the thermos food container in her hand.
She turned her head slowly and stiffly, only to see a tall figure had appeared in the ward at some point. Standing shoulder to shoulder with Lu Luochen, he was quietly staring at them.
Bai Ziyan was still angry. When he saw Xue Qing, he snorted unhappily, carried his small stool and sat on the other side of the hospital bed. So there was a scene of the two of them looking at each other from afar across Wen Sining.
"Sister Sining, please talk to this hulk for me!" Bai Ziyan tugged at Wen Sining's sleeve and looked at her longingly.
At this time, Xue Qing's gaze also shifted to Wen Sining. He said calmly, "Did Ziyan complain to you?"
Under Xue Qing's oppressive gaze, Wen Sining nodded with difficulty.
Xue Qing stretched out his big hand, pulled over the chair beside him, straddled his long legs and sat down.
"Go ahead. I'm all ears."
Wen Sining swallowed hard.
On one side was Bai Ziyan with eager anticipation in his eyes, and on the other side was Xue Qing, who made people feel pressured. Both of them were people she couldn't afford to offend. So in the end, Wen Sining could only glare fiercely at Lu Luochen, who was watching the show beside them.
It was all his fault. He didn't even remind her when someone came in! If she had known that Xue Qing would come in, she would never have said those words to Bai Ziyan.
It was a joke. It was a quarrel between a couple. Why did she have to get involved in this mess? Wouldn't it be better for her to sit on the side and watch the show with a handful of melon seeds? Why did she have to be part of the show!
However, there was no medicine for regret in the world.
She didn't know how long Xue Qing had been in the ward or how much of the conversation between her and Bai Ziyan he had heard.
Wen Sining was having a brainstorm. Although she was extremely panicked in her heart, she still maintained a calm look on her face.
She took a deep breath and said, "Teacher Xue is really amazing. Yes, just now Baibai did complain to me that you wouldn't let him eat marshmallows."
Xue Qing raised his eyebrows.
"And then?"
Wen Sining forced a smile on her face. Under Bai Ziyan's expectant gaze, she simply capsized the friendship boat between them with her own hands. She said,
"I want to tell Teacher Xue... You're absolutely right! Baibai is the kind of kid who never pays attention to his diet on weekdays. Since his blood sugar is already on the high side, we have to control his diet and not let him eat whatever he wants. Marshmallows are basically just a combination of sugar essence. They're definitely not suitable for Baibai. Teacher Xue, you're doing a great job. You've managed Baibai so well!"
These words just poured out of Wen Sining's mouth without a single pause, astonishing everyone in the room except Xue Qing.
Baibai opened his eyes wide, with the words "You actually betrayed me" written all over his eyes!
Lu Luochen also raised his eyebrows in surprise. He had thought that Wen Sining would stand up for that little - rabbit - like Bai Ziyan, but he didn't expect her to back down so quickly?
Only Xue Qing didn't even move a single hair. It seemed that he had long anticipated what Wen Sining would say.
"Sister Sining! You're going back on your word!" Baibai shouted in a hurry.
"Baibai, actually Teacher Xue is really right. Your blood sugar is high, so you have to avoid sweet food."
Wen Sining showed a guilty smile and gently persuaded him.
Better sacrifice a friend than myself. Baibai, I'm afraid I'll have to wrong you today.
Thinking like this, Wen Sining's attitude towards Bai Ziyan became even gentler.
But Bai Ziyan didn't buy it. He silently carried his small stool and shrank into a corner, using his actions to tell Wen Sining that he was very angry and didn't want to talk to her.
At this time, Xue Qing suddenly looked at his watch and then stood up. He reached out his hand towards Bai Ziyan.
"Ziyan, stop being naughty. It's already the time we made an appointment with the doctor. It's time for us to go."
