Hearing Ye Xiu’s words, Bai Fei and Wu Wa’s eyes widened, and they immediately ran over to Bai Zhi’s side, tugging forcefully at the blanket covering her. Their gaze and body language were clear.
They were utterly unwilling to leave. How could they not stay by Bai Zhi’s side during such a difficult time? That’s what good sisters do.
Is studying as important as Bai Zhi?
Would school life be meaningful without Bai Zhi?
They were determined to stay with Bai Zhi, no matter what happened.
"Auntie, I will definitely not go back. I want to stay with Ah Zhi. She would be scared without me."
Wu Wa even grabbed Bai Dan’s hand tightly, refusing to let go. Of course, she would have preferred to hold Bai Zhi’s, but she had injuries, didn’t she?
"Grandpa, wherever Ah Zhi is, that’s where I’ll be."
Ye Xiu felt a bit embarrassed, she was only thinking of their well-being.
"Listen to me, I know you all want to accompany Xingxing, but you are children. You can’t keep up with us . Go back and rest well, and after a while, we’ll come back. Big brother, please."
Ye Xiu turned to look at Bai Guang by her side, truly grateful for the big brother’s help this time. He had been busily assisting.
"We’re all family, no need for formalities. If Bai Fei wants to stay, let her. It’s not a trouble."
Bai Guang didn’t see a problem with his daughter missing a few days of school. He had never demanded his daughter to be extremely outstanding, but he did hope that she would maintain a good relationship with Bai Zhi. The two families couldn’t lose their connection.
Ye Xiu was taken aback; well, if the father said so.
"Sister-in-law, I know you want what’s best for the kids, but they share a deep bond as sisters. Even if Bai Fei went back, she would surely be worried. It’s better for her to stay here. As for their studies, I’ll bring their textbooks and homework here. They can study right here, can’t they?"
Under his daughter’s expectant gaze, Bai Guang waved a large hand. As long as his daughter wished for it, everything was solvable; he would arrange it smoothly.
Bai Fei: "..." Actually, she hadn’t planned on doing homework here.
"That works too, I can also help them catch up on their lessons. It’s just a bother for big brother, and while you’re at it, could you keep an eye on Bai Ye for me?"
Knowing that Bai Ye was home alone, Ye Xiu wasn’t worried; the village had the elder uncle, and that put her at ease.
"Alright, don’t worry, I’ll check on him."
"Bai Guang, tell your dad what’s happening here, so he can help me look after the house."
Bai Dan couldn’t go back now; he had to entrust everything to the big brother.
"Sure, uncle, you can count on me. I’ll head back right now and come over again tomorrow."
Bai Guang needed to go back and inform his father about the situation. His gaze shifted towards the window; the weather did not look good today, ah, the wind had picked up.
Bai Xin stepped out of the hospital, searching the area but finding no satisfactory options—short-term rentals required at least half a year, and that was too long for her.
Just as she was frowning over her dilemma, she bumped into Li Mo. Upon hearing that she was looking for a place to stay, he slapped his thigh.
"Why didn’t you tell me? Come with me."
Li Mo didn’t hesitate to speak up.
Bai Xin was still a bit confused; where to?
"I’m taking you to find a place. Let me tell you, people can tell you’re from out of town, they naturally won’t rent to you. Let’s go, I’ll take you to find a good deal. Guaranteed even if it’s just for a few days."
Bai Xin couldn’t quite believe it: "Is there really such a good place?"
