Chapter 68: Mutual Appreciation
Last night, Song Xiaodong stayed at the Xiao Family’s home until he woke up the next morning at a little past ten.
Upon opening his eyes, he saw a beautiful woman sitting by his bed, her cheeks propped by her hands, watching him with her clear, large eyes without blinking.
"Brother Xiaodong, you’re awake," said Xiao Yingying, who was sitting by the bed. Seeing Song Xiaodong awake, she immediately flashed a smile and greeted him.
"It seems you’re in good spirits," Song Xiaodong said to Xiao Yingying with a slight smile.
Xiao Yingying nodded and said, "Yes, I’ve come back to life. I just knew Brother Xiaodong would come to save me."
"Maybe it’s just your fate not to die yet. If I had come back a year or two later, I guess you would have died."
"Yes, yes, I’m really lucky. I didn’t expect to still be alive, but thinking about it, being alive isn’t bad at all."
"Finally, you should still maintain your emotions, and don’t move around too much. Don’t think I haven’t operated on you. Your heart has undergone modifications, not any less than if you had had surgery."
Xiao Yingying said doubtfully, "Is that so... But I don’t feel any discomfort?"
"Well, you might not feel it now, but any stimulus could still be quite troublesome. You need to rest for at least a week."
"Only a week? I thought it would be months again," Xiao Yingying gave Song Xiaodong another smile, as shallow as it could be.
Song Xiaodong instinctively reached out and touched her face, saying gently, "After I treat you a few more times, then you’ll be able to laugh whenever you want without having to hold back."
