Xia Jianning answered seriously: “Madam was in a coma after being injured during that incident and hasn’t woken up. Teacher is taking her abroad to see if there are other solutions.”
In other words, Luo Yingbai’s mother, Jiang Yugai, was currently in a vegetative state. But compared to death, being in a coma meant there was hope for recovery.
Luo Yingbai never expected that this rebirth would be slightly different from his previous life. He now had a chance to see his mother again… as long as she was alive, he would do everything to wake her up!
A mix of emotions surged in that moment. In his extreme joy, Luo Yingbai hugged Xia Jianning, who had brought him this news, and gave him a fierce kiss: “Jianning, junior brother, I love you so much!”
Xia Jianning, who hadn’t had time to react, was kissed. His eye twitched as he pushed Luo Yingbai away, angrily rebuking: “Luo Yingbai!”
Luo Yingbai looked at him with an innocent face: “Why are you yelling so loud? You scared me.”
Xia Jianning felt like he had been electrified, and after the numbness, he only felt his heart and breathing completely out of rhythm, the soft touch lingering… Damn, after being away for half a year, his trouble-making index had upgraded again.
He had known since childhood that Luo Yingbai was this intermittent neurotic who would occasionally go crazy, and this time he had only forgotten to be on guard because of their long-awaited reunion.
If anyone else had done this, they would have been beaten to death by Xia Xianning on the spot, but he had no way to deal with this senior brother.
The elevator stopped, and Luo Yingbai went out first. Turning around, he saw Xia Xianning still standing inside, looking a bit conflicted. “It’s not like you’re a little girl, don’t be shy. Senior brother missed you so much after not seeing you for so long, what’s wrong with a kiss? By the way, are you still working overtime?”
The phrase “missed you so much” softened Xia Xianning’s heart. Hearing him change the subject, he could only respond: “Yes.”
