Xiao Li listened to Dai Zihan’s words and couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
As for the idea of them being incompatible, she didn’t believe it. Though her job had brought some unexpected incidents, which job doesn’t have risks?
If nobody worked because of risk, those jobs with even higher risks would be left unfilled.
The two of them chatted idly with Xiao Li for a bit longer and then video chatted with Feng Qing before heading back.
They originally wanted to see Qin Xiao too, but since Qin Xiao hadn’t been transferred to a room yet and visiting hours were over, they had to wait until tomorrow.
After they left, Xiao Li said to He Jie, who had been reading documents the whole time, "Sister-in-law, there’s really nothing left here now. With mom and Aunt Wu around, you don’t need to stay; you can go back and take care of your own things!"
He Jie lifted her eyes slightly, "I’m not staying because of you! I just find reading documents at home too boring, it’s livelier here.
Like just now when you and your friends were chatting, I quite enjoyed listening in! Follow current novels on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝✶𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✶𝕟𝕖𝕥
Don’t think that just because I’m here, I can’t handle my business. I went through quite a few documents earlier. I’m not slacking off!"
Xiao Li was torn between tears and laughter; she hadn’t accused her of slacking off at all!
Qin’s mother laughed from the side, "Xiaoli, don’t mind your sister-in-law, if she likes to nest here, let her nest.
Take a break yourself. You’ve been awake since this morning and haven’t rested yet. Your body is still weak; you need to rest more.
You’ll have to wait until the evening for Axiao to be transferred to a room, so stop worrying and take a rest."
Xiao Li nodded, "Got it, Mom."
As nightfall came, the children came to the hospital after school to see Xiao Li and did their homework while waiting for Qin Xiao.
It wasn’t until Qin Xiao was also transferred to a room and they saw Dad that the kids went back.
In the hospital room, Xiao Li sat by the bedside accompanying Qin Xiao. Qin Xiao helplessly said, "Nini, if you don’t get back in bed, I’ll get up."
As he spoke, he acted as if to get up. Xiao Li quickly held him down, "Big brother, don’t get up! I’ll get back in bed right away."
Having said that, Xiao Li immediately returned to bed. Beside them, Qin Tan pretended to rub his arms, "I’ve got goosebumps! Sister-in-law, can you change the way you call him? I thought it was fine when you used to call Axiao ’uncle’!"
Qin Tan was the last to know that Xiao Li had regained her memory of anyone in the family. Previously, hearing her constantly call Qin Xiao "big brother," he just thought Qin Xiao was being shameless!
Knowing Xiao Li had regained her memory, it turned out she had been teasing him!
Qin Xiao even taught him a method, but clearly, it was all a trap!
As for the fact that he was happy being tricked, Qin Tan conveniently overlooked it!
He Jie, actually the one who got tricked, glanced at Qin Tan and also spoke up, "Xiaoli, if possible, it’s better if you go back to calling him ’uncle’! Not that I’m not used to it, I just don’t want to be forced by someone immature to say sappy nicknames!"
The immature person’s face turned dark at this, feeling like he had hoisted a rock only to drop it on his own foot. What to do? He wanted to hear sappy nicknames!
"Well, good sister-in-law... I think it was good when you used to call Axiao like that, you should stick to it!"
Xiao Li had already burst into laughter seeing him .
Even Qin’s mother couldn’t bear to look directly at his foolishness!
After laughing for a while, Xiao Li said, "Big brother, actually, I think you have a point. Even though calling him ’big brother’ isn’t a big deal for us, I should consider others’ feelings.
Hmm, from now on I’d better call him ’uncle,’ and save the ’big brother’ kind of nicknames for when we’re alone!
This way everyone feels comfortable, and the joy of ’uncle’ isn’t lost.
Uncle, how do you feel about this arrangement?"
Qin Xiao nodded in agreement, "That arrangement sounds great, say the sappy nicknames in private!"
Qin Tan’s face was full of bitterness, hah... So their happiness remains, and mine is the one that’s gone!
After chatting idly for a while, Xiao Li glanced at the time and said, "Dad, Mom, Sister-in-law, it’s getting late, you guys should head back first!"
It had been agreed before that tonight, Qin Tan and Aunt Wu would stay in the hospital.
Father Qin nodded, "Hmm, we’ll head back first, see you tomorrow."
Father Qin said, getting up to leave with Mother Qin, and after staying a while longer, He Jie also left.
Qin Tan and Aunt Wu sensibly moved to the outer room, leaving the inner room for the two gazing at each other.
Reclining on the hospital bed, Xiao Li said with a smile, "Uncle, go to sleep quickly! Now’s not the time for staying up!"
Qin Xiao chuckled, "Weren’t we supposed to use those names in private? Why not now?"
Xiao Li poked her tongue out and softly called him, "Big brother!"
Qin Xiao nodded contentedly, "Your big brother isn’t sleepy now; let’s chat for a while!"
Xiao Li shook her head, "No, you need to rest well now."
"I’ve slept for a long time and rested enough. Tell me about what happened after I was taken to surgery!"
Xiao Li paused, knowing Qin Xiao was asking about the progress on Gu Zhiyuan’s issue, but she first talked about her own feelings at the time.
"Big brother, yesterday I truly got to feel your emotions when I was injured.
When you fell after being shot, I felt like my heart stopped, the blood in my veins seemed to stop flowing.
Every time I got hurt, you felt the same way, right?"
Qin Xiao gazed deeply at Xiao Li and nodded slightly, "Nini, come lie here with me!"
Xiao Li shook her head, "No, I’m afraid I’d hurt you."
"You won’t, come over! We’re too far apart ."
There was still some distance between the two beds.
Xiao Li resolutely refused; Qin Xiao was helpless, as he still couldn’t get out of bed to go over.
"Big brother, let me tell you about the follow-up!"
In the ensuing time, Xiao Li recounted the events that followed and shared her analysis of Gu Zhiyuan’s intent to use a history of mental illness to escape punishment.
Qin Xiao agreed with her thoughts, "Since you’ve informed Big Brother, he’ll arrange things properly."
Time flew by, and soon enough Qin Xiao and Xiao Li both were discharged from the hospital.
There was progress on Gu Zhiyuan’s case too; with irrefutable evidence, he had been indicted, and now they’re just waiting for the trial.
As Gu Zhiyuan’s defense lawyer, Lawyer Yu was busy working!
At the office, Gu Zhiyuan sat across from Lawyer Yu, raising his head to look at him, "Find a way to get me released on bail pending trial!"
Lawyer Yu shook his head, "There’s no way; the case is too big, no bail. Stay put for now!"
Gu Zhiyuan sneered coldly, "I trust that you’ll find a way to get me bailed out; I must get out!"
Lawyer Yu frowned, "Why do you insist on getting out? What do you plan to do? Do you know the best thing for you right now is to stay put?"
