Ji Ruofeng saw her wake up, and began to get nervous again: "L-Little Sister-in-law..."
"Hmm?" She softly uttered a sound of confusion from her nose.
Ji Ruofeng hesitated for a moment and asked, "Um, how is your body doing?"
Yun Qiluo shook her bandaged hand slightly, just about to tell him she was completely healed.
But remembering Yan Yan’s reminder in the morning not to let anyone know, she held back.
"Anyway, it’s really fine."
Ji Ruofeng gave her hand a strange look, thinking, doesn’t it hurt when Little Sister-in-law shakes it ?
Recalling the state of her arms and legs covered in bruises yesterday, he felt a pang of heartache again, accompanied by intense guilt.
He lowered his eyes, unsure how to respond for quite a while.
Yun Qiluo tilted her head: "What’s wrong with you?"
Ever since last night, Ji Ruofeng seemed off.
Ji Ruofeng scratched his head, only speaking after a long pause:
"Little Sister-in-law, about what happened yesterday... I’m sorry. If it wasn’t for me leaving early, this wouldn’t have happened."
His voice was somewhat downcast, his handsome face full of self-blame and guilt.
Yun Qiluo didn’t expect him to think about such things.
She quickly shook her head: "It’s not your fault, don’t be ."
"Little Sister-in-law..."
She earnestly said, "It’s not your problem, I was just too foolish."
It’s so strange, what does this have to do with Ji Ruofeng?
He wasn’t the one who harmed her.
The real culprit was that big fool.
Ji Ruofeng’s eyes welled up with tears, and he choked out: "Little Sister-in-law, you’re so kind, I thought, I thought you would blame me."
Yun Qiluo’s expression turned to one of disdain upon hearing this.
She shook her head and sighed as if he was hopeless: "You’re so silly."
Halfway through feeling moved, Ji Ruofeng: "..."
He adjusted himself for quite a while, then asked: "Little Sister-in-law, are you hungry? What would you like to eat? I’ll go get it for you."
Yun Qiluo perked up as soon as she heard this, her big eyes staring at him: "Is there anything to eat nearby?"
Ji Ruofeng nodded: "Yes, there are places to eat around the hospital."
In the end, Ji Ruofeng stayed in the hospital the entire day, taking care of errands for her.
In the afternoon, the police came by again, wanting Yun Qiluo to cooperate and make a statement.
Yan Yan initially intended to turn them away but seeing her so bored in the ward, he let them in.
When the officer entered, he immediately saw the young girl lying on the hospital bed watching anime.
She was wearing a hospital gown, looking pale and frail, her small face delicate and clean, with bright and clear eyes, just like a little angel.
Seeing her , the officer’s mind was filled with the miserable state of the few thugs from yesterday...
He took a deep breath and walked over.
Yun Qiluo saw their uniforms and immediately felt a sense of goodwill towards them.
She obediently responded: "Hello."
"We are here to ask about the situation yesterday, would it be convenient for you to make a statement?"
Yun Qiluo glanced at Yan Yan at the door, seeing him nod, she then nodded to the officer.
She seemed so well-behaved that the officer’s heart softened.
Afraid of triggering psychological shadows for the victim, they carefully chose their words.
Only then did they gently begin: "May I ask if yesterday... were you the only hostage they took?"
Yun Qiluo blinked her eyes and nodded: "Yes."
