Bai Yue carefully checked on Bai Xiao and finally put her mind at ease. "You scared me to death, why didn’t you tell the family about such a big issue? Do you know how grateful we are that He Weng came? Otherwise, you’d be here all alone; how could we be at ease?
And what about Colonel An? Where is he? You’re sick, and he’s not even by your side; isn’t that too much! Who has been taking care of you all this time?" A series of questions, each adding insult to injury.
Bai Xiao rubbed her temples. When her older sister got anxious, she didn’t ask for any details; in her world, her little sister was always right.
Colonel An is the one carrying the blame.
How unfair.
"Big sister! Don’t rush, let’s talk slowly. You’ve just come from the airport to the hospital; did you eat? Definitely not. Humans are like iron, food is like steel, skipping even one meal will make you starve. Xiaoxue, please help me buy a meal for my sister! Something simple that fills up the stomach is fine, preferably with some soup, I’m sure she’s feeling heated up; include some vegetables and fruits too!"
Yu Feixue glared, how is this simple?
Damn, I really owed you in my past life.
Resigned, she picked up her purse and went out.
Bai Yue quickly stopped Yu Feixue, "No need, no need. The hospital nurse got me a meal earlier, I’m very full. Thank you, young lady, your name is Xiaoxue, right? It’s a lovely name. Are you Bai Xiao’s classmate? I’m her older sister. It’s really all thanks to you taking care of her. Now that I’m here, you can go back and rest well. Once she recovers, I’ll personally come and thank you."
She mistook Yu Feixue as Bai Xiao’s classmate.
Both of them laughed a little.
Yu Feixue felt that Bai Xiao’s sister was truly a good person, considerate and attentive, and so warmly caring for her sister. Her own sisters were never like this; each of them was busy with their own studies, either going abroad or aiming for a higher level at work. The familial warmth in their family wasn’t as rich as Bai Yue’s.
This is what a big sister is like!
Bai Yue saw the two laughing, "What are you giggling at, you little rascal? Did your sister make a fool of herself again?"
"Big sister! Let me formally introduce her. This is Yu Feixue; she’s from my uncle’s family and is older than me, so I should call her sister." She hadn’t had the chance to discuss Yu Family’s affairs with Bai Yue yet, only Bai Song knew about it. Her older brother wasn’t one to gossip, so naturally her big sister wouldn’t know about Yu Family’s issues.
In the past, everyone knew about the Shang Family’s issues, but nobody knew about Yu Family’s issues.
Bai Yue was slightly embarrassed, extending her hand then realizing it wasn’t right, "You are Bai Xiao’s relative! I really made a blunder." She felt mixed emotions inside.
It wasn’t that she didn’t want her sister to find her relatives, but it was the thought that their protectively kept sister was suddenly not only theirs - a complex feeling. They were both sisters and almost like elders to Bai Xiao; they took care of her, and watched her grow up; Bai Xiao was like their child.
This feeling was very complex! Only those involved could understand.
"Big sister! Hello, Bai Xiao always talks about how she has two wonderful sisters and a wonderful brother whom I never had the chance to meet. Now that I’ve finally met you, hello big sister! Thank you for taking care of Bai Xiao all these years, you are her sister! And that makes you my sister too, big sister!"
These words suddenly made Bai Yue feel like she was being too sentimental - this was Bai Xiao’s relative after all.
It’s all for her good, isn’t having more people caring for her better?
