"Brother Ping'an," Shen Yinian said, her face brimming with happiness upon seeing Xu Ji.
Perhaps because they were both precocious, these two children were always close, slightly overshadowing Han Xinyu and Wan Youle.
"Did you come alone?" Lin Xiaoguai pulled out a chair for him to sit.
"Mm," Xu Ji nodded and explained, "Mom's accompanying Uncle to a dinner function, so after I put Nannan to sleep, I came over."
"Did you take a taxi here?" Shen Mincheng handed him a peeled apple, while Shen Chi asked from the side.
"I took the bus," Xu Ji said. Seeing Shen Chi frown, he added, "We have a new bus stop now, just less than two hundred meters away from my house."
Shen Chi's expression softened slightly, but he still said, "I'll take you back later."
Xu Ji nodded, not objecting.
Due to the fact that the wound didn't require stitches, Shen Yinian didn't stay long at the hospital—just three days, and Lin Xiaoguai also stayed in the hospital for three days.
