Ning Xiaofei turned around and stared at him from a distance of more than a dozen meters.
“What are you yelling for? You’re aggrieved? Are you angry? What about me? I’ve gotten into scandal for no reason, called you and you didn’t answer, ran to explain to you but you broke my nose, chased you down and couldn’t find you, climbed a building and was treated like a thief by the security guard…I…”
Halfway through the yell, she suddenly frowned and crouched down covering her side.
“Xiao Fei!” Mu Tianye approached her in strides and crouched down to hold her arm, “What’s wrong?”
"You… go away…" Ning Xiaofei raised her hand and tried to push him, but as soon as she exerted force, her side ribs throbbed with pain. She immediately shrank back into a ball, "You…stay away from me, it’s all….it’s all your fault! Sizz–“
Mu Tianye reached out and wrapped his arms around her back, then his hand reached over to hold her palm, “I’ll take you to the hospital right away.”
“Don’t move!” She frowned helplessly, “I…I'm just angry.”
She hadn’t eaten anything since morning, was hungry and cold, and had yelled too hard just now. Now, it had accidentally misfired.
Mu Tian Ye had the urge to cry and laugh, but did not dare to move her again. He only supported her waist with one hand, and reached over with one hand, covering her pressed side ribs and caressing them carefully.
The man then turned his face to Zhou Tao, who had stopped and run over, and ordered, “Give me some warm water!”
Zhou Tao quickly ran back to the car, grabbed a thermos and brought it over. Mu Tianye held the cup to her mouth. Ning Xiaofei immediately held the cup, drank a few sips of warm water and her painful side ribs was only slightly relieved.
“Better?”
“It still hurts.”
“Who told you to wear so little?”
“You’re the one who said I’m not allowed to wear jeans…ah…it hurts….”
She was just about to yell at him, but her side ribs jerked again and she scrambled to retract.
"It hurts but you still yell!”
The man was angry and distressed, but also couldn’t care that the ground was dirty. He just sat down on the ground to gather her into his arms, while Zhou Tao bent on the ground to pick up a coat, and drape it over Ning Xiaofei.
Leaning on his chest for a while, Ning Xiaofei’s frustrated side ribs gradually eased in pain. The man sighed softly seeing her face improve, and carefully helped her up.
“How about a visit to the hospital.”
“No need.”
Ning Xiaofei stood up from her slippers and noticed the 24-hour convenience store across the road.
Mu Tianye hugged her as soon as she moved, "What are you doing again?”
Ning Xiaofei turned her face fiercely, “I’m hungry, can’t I buy something to eat?”
Mu Tianye glanced sideways, which brought his attention to the convenience store across the street.
Zhou Tao asked right away, “What does Madame want to eat, I’ll go buy it.”
“Instant noodles.”
“Garbage has no nutrition.”
“I just want it!”
She was cold and hungry, and at the moment, all she wanted was a bowl of hot instant noodles.
The man frowned, finally compromising.
“Fine, eat!”
Zhou Tao smirked secretly, “Then…the two of you get in the car and wait, I’ll go buy!”
Ning Xiaofei reminded him, “Remember to buy me an extra ham sausage, and mustard!”
With a promise, Zhou Tao trotted across the road, and Mu Tianye furrowed his brow – in his opinion, this was all junk food.
Noticing his expression, Ning Xiaofei snorted, “What’s the matter, we poor people just love to eat this, can’t we?”
Mu Tianye was again speechless and lifted his hand to help her fix her coat, “It’s okay, get in the car and eat!”
Ning Xiaofei shrank into the back seat of the car, and the girl looked at the convenience store opposite.
Mu Tianye sighed inwardly and reached out to pull her onto his lap, then his big hand reached over and closed around her dirty little feet.
