Chapter 491: 229 Hairband (Thirteen) _2

Bai Ziyan spoke, “No worries, I’ll wait for her to come back. We can catch up.”

Sensing something off, Song Yinzhang tried to walk away but was gently blocked by Bai Ziyan wrapping his arm around his shoulder.

“Yinzhang, can you tell me what’s going on between Ming Jing and Xiao Qu’er? How come I saw online that something fishy is going on between them? I haven’t been gone for long, and Xiao Qu’er already stole my girl?”

Bai Ziyan’s tone was very gentle, but it echoed in Song Yinzhang’s ears like a threatening whisper.

“You should ask Xiao Fei. How would I know?”

“Hehe, you’re Ming Jing’s desk-mate. If I don’t ask you, who should I ask, huh?”

At this moment, Liu Muxue walked in, casting an odd look at the tussling Song Yinzhang and Bai Ziyan.

“Song Yinzhang, you’ve got quite an interesting taste.”

Song Yinzhang immediately pushed Bai Ziyan away and said firmly, “What nonsense are you talking about? He is my friend, not what you’re thinking.”

Liu Muxue raised her eyebrows, her face a picture of smug comprehension.

Bai Ziyan stroked his chin, “Little girl, it seems like your vision is rotten. Maybe you need to go to the ophthalmologist.”

Liu Muxue’s eyebrows clashed down and she sneered, “Little boy, trying to explain means you’re trying to cover up, and covering up means you can’t hide the truth. Don’t pretend. It’s not shameful.”

Bai Ziyan sniggered, “You’re quite an interesting girl. Are you deliberately trying to provoke me?”

Liu Muxue tossed her chin up, snorted haughtily and said, “See, you’ve got a guilty conscience.”

Bai Ziyan rolled up his sleeves, “Are you asking for a punch?”

“Assaulting someone in broad daylight?” Liu Muxue yelled at the top of her lungs.

Bai Ziyan had never met such an annoying girl. Holding back his anger, he retorted, “I don’t hit women, but I’ll remember you.”

Liu Muxue huffed, “Just try me.”

Song Yinzhang felt helpless. When a small devil provokes a big devil, those around them suffer.

Song Yinzhang asked, “Why did you come back alone? Where is Ming Jing?”

“She found someone injured and took them to the hospital without a second thought. I dislike hospitals, so I came back alone. Is this your boyfriend?”

Bai Ziyan’s fists clenched angrily as he shot Liu Muxue a deadly glare.

If stares could hurt, Liu Muxue would’ve been pierced all over.

Song Yinzhang reluctantly introduced, “His name is Bai Ziyan, a friend of both me and Ming Jing. This here is Liu Muxue. She also came to Jingzhou for the CMO exams. I guess you could say she’s a friend too.”

Liu Muxue and Bai Ziyan both snorted and turned away in unison.

The nearest hospital was the State Medical College. Ming Jing took her there. The girl needed dressing for multiple external injuries and an X-ray to check for any internal ones.

Xie Zhen stayed with the girl throughout the exam.

Ming Jing sat outside the ER. Zhao Heng had gone to buy water. Ming Jing watched the people coming and going. The ER was the busiest department, but it was also where you could witness all aspects of life.

A little girl’s piercing and sharp cries echoed around the room, but everyone was too busy to pay attention to her.

The girl cried helplessly and heartbrokenly. Only a child who couldn’t find her mom and dad would cry so unrestrainedly.

In a child’s world, the parents were the pillars of their spirit, of everything in their universe.

Ming Jing walked over, crouched down, and gently ruffled the little girl’s hair. Smiling, she asked, “Little sister, can’t you find your mom and dad?”

This gentle and soothing voice sounded like heavenly music.

The little girl looked up blankly, her face covered in snot bubbles, “Sister, are you an angel?”

Children’s thoughts are pure. They say what they see.

Ming Jing smiled and said, “Yes, an angel can grant a wish for an obedient child. What’s your wish?”

The little girl was first overjoyed to meet an real angel, then excited that her wish could be granted. But then she remembered something and her little face quickly fell.

“Angel sister, my daddy… my daddy is dying. I don’t want daddy to die.”

Ming Jing gently wiped away the tears and snot from the little girl’s face. Her voice was as gentle as her actions.

“In life, everyone’s destination is ultimately the grave. Some people go early, and some go late. It’s all fate. Death is not scary. He will always live on in your heart.”

The angel sister’s voice was so gentle and moving, it made her feel that death was not that scary after all. It soothed the fears lurking in her heart.

“Angel sister, didn’t you say you could grant me a wish? Then I wish daddy wouldn’t die. Is that possible?” She looked at Ming Jing apprehensively, afraid Ming Jing would refuse.
