Chapter 1669: He Is the Person She Is Looking For
Li Xingyan was a bit impatient.
But he still nodded.
Afterwards, he crossed his arms and muttered, "It was just a beating, is it really necessary to be hospitalized?"
"This... let's see what the actual situation is first."
The two found Xiaoshi's hospital room, knocked, and walked in.
They saw the young man on the hospital bed, bruised and swollen, with bandages wrapped around his arms and legs.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Motian couldn't help but gasp!
The next second, she turned her head to look at Li Xingyan.
Just this, and it wasn't necessary to be hospitalized?
He had been way too ruthless!
Li Xingyan looked away uncomfortably.
He had been in a fit of anger yesterday and had completely forgotten how much strength he had used.
And this guy was in such a miserable state...
It also had to do with his own strength; who told him to be so weak!
Seeing that her brother wasn't saying anything, Jiang Motian nudged him with her arm and whispered, "Apologize!"
Although Li Xingyan was complaining incessantly in his heart, he still remembered the purpose of coming here today.
Taking a deep breath, he said in a stiff tone, "Sorry, I hit you yesterday, how are you now?"
Hearing her brother's words, Jiang Motian just wanted to cover her forehead.
Really, with this attitude and this look, how is this like an apology?
It's more like a provocation!
Seeing him like this, Xiaoshi started to tremble, not daring to meet his gaze, and stuttered as he spoke: "I-it's okay."
Then, the room suddenly fell into an eerie silence.
Jiang Motian felt a bit weary.
She thought that as for the instructions she gave her brother before coming in, he hadn't taken a single word to heart!
After complaining, she had to whisper a reminder: "Show some more concern."
"Are you sure? I feel like if I keep talking, he might faint from fright."
After saying that, Li Xingyan muttered in a low voice: "Useless!"
He truly looked down on this cowardly appearance.
Thinking again that the person they had worked so hard to find for so many years might be the one in front of him...
He felt so depressed!
Seeing the air pressure around her brother gradually dropping, Jiang Motian knew that there was no hope of counting on her brother to ease the atmosphere today.
Helplessly, Jiang Motian had to speak up herself and say some polite things:
"Yesterday's matter was also my fault. If I hadn't been drunk, I could have explained it, but don't worry, Xiaoshi, I will be responsible for your hospital expenses."
"No need, no need."
Xiaoshi's response was concise and to the point.
While he was speaking, he also secretly glanced at Li Xingyan.
That look of being scared to the bone made Jiang Motian realize that as long as her brother was here, Xiaoshi would not be able to relax.
The conversation between the two after that would also be impossible to carry out.
Therefore, Jiang Motian looked up and said to Li Xingyan, "Aren't you very busy with work today? Why don't you go attend to it first."
Just right, Li Xingyan didn't want to stay, so he said quite simply, "Then you two chat slowly."
Li Xingyan left as soon as he said he would.
And his departure made Xiaoshi quickly heave a sigh of relief.
He even patted his chest and muttered, "Scared me to death, I thought your brother was going to come and hit me again!"
"How could that be? Yesterday was really just a misunderstanding, it won't happen again."
"Then the price of this misunderstanding... is quite high."
Looking at Xiaoshi's injuries, Jiang Motian said again, "I'm sorry."
"This isn't your fault, you don't need to apologize, but..."
Xiaoshi raised an eyebrow slightly and asked tentatively, "Is it that whoever gets close to you, your brother treats them with this attitude?"
"Not really, I also have good friends."
"What about male friends?"
A figure appeared in Jiang Motian's mind.
And that person made her purse her lips, her fingers quietly hiding in her palms.
Jiang Motian didn't want to remember that figure.
She took a deep breath, trying hard to ignore the soreness in her heart.
Then she raised a smile and said to Xiaoshi, "Let's talk about things from the past."
Jiang Motian began to talk about things from back then.
While speaking, she also observed Xiaoshi's reaction.
Xiaoshi looked a bit blank.
After meeting Jiang Motian's gaze, he touched his head and said in a daze, "I... don't remember very clearly."
"You don't remember?"
"Yes, I suffered a head injury, so I can't remember some of the finer details."
Xiaoshi's words made Jiang Motian's already wavering heart sway once more.
But just at this moment, the man who had been frowning tightly a second ago suddenly smoothed his brow and said with high spirits, "But I remember you know how to fold paper cranes, you even taught me!"
This sentence caused Jiang Motian's mood to change again!
She stared at Xiaoshi without blinking, unable to help but press her lips together tightly.
And Xiaoshi seemed not to notice Jiang Motian's change, as he smiled and said, "You told me that if you write a wish inside a paper crane, it will come true!"
"Yes, I even gave one to you."
"I remember, I even kept it on me, but it's a pity that after I fell into the water, the paper crane got wet and fell apart."
Xiaoshi looked full of regret.
But Jiang Motian smiled: "It doesn't matter, the wish has already come true."
What she had written on the paper crane back then was that she hoped Xiaoshi would be safe.
Now that he was sitting safely in front of her, wasn't that the wish coming true!
In this instant, Jiang Motian's doubts vanished into thin air.
She knew that the person in front of her was the boy from back then!
Xiaoshi wanted to say something else, but noticed that Jiang Motian's eyes had turned red.
This made him very anxious, and he hurriedly asked, "Tiantian, why are you crying?"
"I'm happy, I've finally found you."
"Silly, haven't we already met?"
Jiang Motian smiled and didn't speak.
Actually... at this moment, she was the one who had truly accepted Xiaoshi's identity!
Some memories from the past also resurfaced.
The feeling was as if it had only happened yesterday...
Jiang Motian's emotions were somewhat agitated.
She needed to calm her mood down.
Just then, Jiang Motian's phone rang, and she used this as an excuse to leave the hospital room and go to a corner to answer the call.
The person calling wanted to discuss holding an art exhibition with Jiang Motian.
Jiang Motian had refused the other party before.
But the other party was very persistent and would communicate with Jiang Motian every now and then.
If it were any other time, Jiang Motian would have found an excuse to hang up after the other party said only a few words.
But at this moment, she was in a pleasant mood and high spirits, and she actually agreed to the other party's invitation right away.
The curator on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, then said excitedly, "It's a deal then, no backing out!"
"Mm, no backing out."
"I have the detailed information for the art exhibition here, I'll send it to you now. Take a look, and if there are any questions, we can communicate in time."
"Okay."
Jiang Motian hung up the phone and soon received the information.
It noted how many paintings Jiang Motian needed to prepare, as well as the sizes, themes, and so on.
Jiang Motian looked it over, felt there were no problems, and sent a confirmation message back to the other party.
This decision would keep Jiang Motian busy for a while.
But it was a happy kind of busy.
With a smile on her lips, Jiang Motian returned to the hospital room.
Only to discover...
Xiaoshi in the hospital room was not very happy.
She saw Xiaoshi curled up, sitting on the bed, looking very frightened.
