Night had fallen, and Xu Nian'an slept on the accompanying bed while Pei Yining and Pei Yicheng, the siblings, were sent home to rest by Xu Nianhua.
They hadn't slept all night yesterday, so they really should get some proper rest.
After the lights went out, a small light remained on in the hospital room, convenient for the nurses to make their rounds and for patients so it wouldn't be pitch-black at night.
"Second Brother, you should go back to school for classes tomorrow,"
Nianhua said in the dimness.
"No," Xu Nian'an immediately refused without thinking, "These few days are a critical period for your recovery. How could I leave? Little sister, there's no room for discussion on this matter, and you're not allowed to send me away."
Xu Nian'an's tone was more resolute than ever before.
Xu Nianhua sighed and said, "I'm sorry for making Second Brother worry."
