Is it really "by chance" that both of them are tacitly understanding?

"Is my sister's injury not a big problem?" He glanced at Lin Wanning's wrapped foot and asked with concern.

"The doctor said it's not a big problem, a second-degree ligament injury, she needs to rest at home for one or two months."

"It's good that there's no major issue. The body is the capital of revolution, so take care even during sports activities."

"Who wouldn't say it? She's just mischievous."

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while. The other person had work to attend to, so after a few more casual words, Director Li soon left.

"I wasn't being mischievous!" After he left, Lin Wanning pouted unhappily.

Xu Qingfan made his fingers into a hanger shape and hung them up, saying, "See, you can already hang clothes on it."

Lin Wanning immediately pursed her lips, sweetly smiled at him, and seeing Xu Qingfan smile too, she asked, "Qingfan brother, who was that uncle just now?"

"The director of this hospital; otherwise, how could they perform 'surgery' on you so quickly?" The girl's wrapped foot was deemed "surgery" by Xu Qingfan.

Having known Zhang Yiyi for so many years, Lin Wanning wasn't really naive and didn't continue to press on the topic.

"Qingfan brother, are we going back to school this afternoon?"

They had been busy with the doctor's visit and hospital procedures for over two hours since morning, and now it was almost eleven o'clock.

"Rest well at home this afternoon. Are you thirsty?"

Lin Wanning shook her head, looking at him pitifully and said, "Qingfan brother, can I play with your phone? I left mine in my bag."

"Go ahead, I'll get some water for you." Xu Qingfan handed the phone over to her without hesitation.

"Okay, okay."

Lin Wanning took the phone, unlocked it with the password, and eagerly opened WeChat.

Xu Qingfan had just posted in the group reassuring everyone, with messages reminding him to take good care of 'Lin Wanning.'

After reading, Lin Wanning felt a warmness in her heart, recalling the moment when a small back carried her to the infirmary and Ruan Wen rushed over anxiously.

She suddenly had a new thought.

[If only everyone could always be like this...]

Knowing her head wasn't the brightest, Lin Wanning decided not to dwell on it and planned to discuss the specifics with Yiyi later.

She opened the camera to take pictures, her stunning looks still undeniable even from a harsh angle and Apple's front camera.

Lin Wanning sweetly smiled, flashed a peace sign, took a selfie, then switched cameras to give a close-up of her injured leg.

She opened the photo and admired her selfie for a while, swiping to the right until she saw the "pig's trotter" photo Xu Qingfan had just taken for her.

"Hmph~ Qingfan brother is mean." Lin Wanning muttered under her breath, initially wanting to delete the photo but eventually didn't press the delete button.

Whether beautiful or ugly, those are memories with Qingfan brother, something to reminisce about five or ten years later with a shared smile.

She switched back to WeChat, posted the two photos she just took, chose a crying puppy emoji, and sent it.

However, since it's school time now, she didn't receive any replies for quite some time.

Lin Wanning exited the group chat, noticing the pinned avatars of the five of them on WeChat.

Opening the chat between her and Qingfan brother, she reminisced about past conversations, then Xu Qingfan soon returned with the water.

"Drink some water first."

"Thank you, Qingfan brother."

Xu Qingfan gently propped Lin Wanning up and fed her water bit by bit with the cup.

After drinking half, Lin Wanning moistened her lips, saying, "Qingfan brother, you drink."

Xu Qingfan gulped down the remaining half cup, lowered her slowly afterward, and asked, "Have your parents called?"

As if his words carried magic, Lin Wanning's phone rang right after Xu Qingfan finished speaking.

Lin Wanning looked and saw it was a call from her dad: "Now there is."

Xu Qingfan took the phone to answer: "Hello, Uncle, did you arrive at the hospital yet? The entrance..."

"It's me, Xiaofan. How's Wanning?" Wen Wanqing's voice, despite being reassured by her husband, still carried a clear sob as she spoke.

"Auntie, Wanning's fine, she just finished the bandaging, and the driver is waiting at the hospital entrance with a noticeable sign. I'll let Wanning answer the phone."

Wen Wanqing had the speakerphone on, walking hand in hand with Lin Qiaoshan towards Xu Qingfan's mentioned person, passing the phone to Lin Wanning, allowing mother and daughter to chat.

Lin Wanning held out all morning, but upon hearing her mom on the verge of tears, her eyes inevitably filled with a sudden overflow of tears.

"It doesn't hurt, it's just a twisted ankle, Mom don't cry."

Xu Qingfan couldn't hear what Wen Wanqing said over the phone, but seeing Lin Wanning's teary appearance made his throat tighten.

The two talked until Wen Wanqing entered the elevator, finally having to hang up the call. Xu Qingfan wiped away her tears with a tissue, lightly tapped her nose, saying, "Silly, why are you crying?"

"I'm not crying." Lin Wanning closed her eyes, as if trying to retract the tears.

"Okay, Wanning's not crying." In a tone of coaxing a child, Xu Qingfan comforted her, folding the tissue and placing it by her nose, "Is there any snot?"

Lin Wanning inhaled deeply, realizing afterward her cover was blown, wondering how there could be snot if she hadn't cried.

Xu Qingfan folded the tissue again and threw it in the trash, realizing her brother wasn't watching, she weakly explained, "It's, it's the cold causing the snot."

"Ahem... Yes, Wanning has a cold, so she has a runny nose." Xu Qingfan gently patted her head for encouragement.

Soon enough, hurried footsteps echoed down the corridor, and opening her eyes, Lin Qiaoshan and Wen Wanqing were already in front of her.

"Daddy, Mommy, I'm fine!" Lin Wanning didn't want her parents to worry, playfully blinking.

Bobbing her head, adorably cute.

Seeing their little treasure acting mischievously, the initially anxious Lin Qiaoshan and Wen Wanqing couldn't help but smile.

"Your foot's all wrapped up like that, and you're fine." Wen Wanqing sat in the spot Xu Qingfan vacated.

"Careless, right? We had a badminton match this morning, Mom, I'm awesome, eliminated many people."

"I just jumped up for a smash, and boom, twisted my ankle when I landed."

Lin Wanning made a pitiful face to elicit sympathy.

Wen Wanqing chuckled at her antics, throwing Xu Qingfan a glance before saying, "Luckily, Xiaofan was around. Knowing him is truly Wanning's blessing."

"Oh no, Wanning's biggest blessing is having you as her parents."

They thought he'd be modest, but then Xu Qingfan continued, "Knowing me is probably her second biggest blessing."

"Hahaha!"

After laughing, the mood improved considerably. Lin Qiaoshan stepped forward to pat Xu Qingfan's shoulder, not saying a word, but it was the strongest acknowledgment among men.

"Hospitals aren't the most auspicious places; shall we head home now?" Seeing the conversation nearing a close, Xu Qingfan suggested.

"Home, home!" Lin Wanning eagerly waved her little fists, finding life too hard without a phone.

"Yes, let's head back. Your dad will carry you....."

Before Lin Qiaoshan could finish, Lin Wanning interjected, "Qingfan brother will carry me!"

Lin Qiaoshan's words about pushing a wheelchair stuck in his throat, suddenly finding Xu Qingfan a bit annoying?

Alright, just joking; our Lin Uncle is magnanimous, he laughed saying, "Okay, let Xiaofan carry you."

Wen Wanqing glanced at the kid's dad, holding back a giggle behind her hand.
