Chapter 290 — Die and Show You
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"That works too," Tang Zhi said with a nod, and didn't press her further. It seemed she had been overthinking it—Guan Xin really did have things to do and couldn't stay.
Liu Xinlan looked at Tang Zhi, who had grown somewhat sentimental, and sighed. Yunyun really had fallen. In the past, would she ever have fretted and weighed things like this?
Xiaofen seemed happy that everyone had come to visit her at noon. After not seeing her for a few days, Wei Zhao found that Xiaofen had become much more cheerful and talkative, able to joke with everyone, and the ward was filled with laughter and chatter.
Of course, this was mostly thanks to Kang Xiaofeng. Every day he patiently stayed by her side, chatting with Xiaofen and telling her about things that happened at school.
"Wei Zhao, I never would have guessed you're the school's big bully!" Xiaofen had naturally learned all about Wei Zhao from Kang Xiaofeng. "You're not allowed to bully Yunyun, got it? Otherwise, none of us will let you off!"
"Heh, I won't," Wei Zhao said with a smile. "But shouldn't you be saying that to Kang Xiaofeng?"
Hearing Wei Zhao's words, Xiaofen grew a little shy and lowered her head slightly.
After the meal, Liu Xinlan went to the restroom to wash the plastic container and the bowls and chopsticks, while Kang Xiaofeng sat by Xiaofen's bedside, somewhat hesitant—clearly he wanted to bring up the weekend gathering.
Wei Zhao took Tang Zhi's hand. She gave a small start, then shot him a half-scolding, half-bashful look. "What are you holding my hand for..."
"Xiaobo has something to say to Xiaofen. Let's go over there." Wei Zhao pointed to the bed across the room.
"Oh..." Only then did Tang Zhi notice that Kang Xiaofeng really did seem to have something to say. She let Wei Zhao keep hold of her hand, and the two of them went and sat on the opposite bed.
They were a fair distance away, but they could still hear what Kang Xiaofeng was saying.
Kang Xiaofeng told Xiaofen about Second Grandpa's birthday, and naturally about Kang Jingming as well. For the first time in her life, Xiaofen learned of Kang Xiaofeng's origins—he was actually that man's cousin?
Kang Xiaofeng invited Xiaofen to come with him to Second Grandpa's birthday banquet. Xiaofen hesitated, her head lowered, nervous and at a loss for what to do...
Tang Zhi had not expected Kang Xiaofeng to make such a bold decision—to bring Xiaofen to a family banquet, and one attended by Kang Jingming at that!
Watching Xiaofen's nervous, hesitant manner, Tang Zhi felt sorry for her, but at that moment she could find nothing to say.
"If you ever dare treat me the way Kang Jingming treated Xiaofen... I... I'll die right in front of you!" Tang Zhi, not knowing where the courage came from, suddenly turned her head to look at Wei Zhao and spoke, word by word.
"I..." Wei Zhao was caught off guard.
"I don't want your promise." Tang Zhi cut him off. "Kang Jingming made Xiaofen promises too, and then he abandoned her! But I'm not Xiaofen. Have you really thought this through? If you don't want me someday, I truly will die right in front of you!"
As she said this, Tang Zhi glared ferociously at Wei Zhao, as though she meant to devour him whole.
