Since he felt no pain, what difference did it make if his bruises healed quickly or slowly?
"Even if it doesn't hurt, it may affect your health if you’re injured and you don’t get yourself treated. You’re only suffering from superficial injuries this time, but if you hurt your bones and you don’t seek treatment just because you’re not in pain, then you may have to walk with a limp forever.” Ling Yiran tried to explain things as simply as she could.
The little one was silent as if thinking over her words.
Ling Yiran added, "Would you like to change your home? What about staying with me and Uncle Yi? Then no one will ever hit you again and you won't suffer from these kinds of injuries."
Lil Ci instantly grew vigilant. The way he looked at Ling Yiran had also changed. He appeared fierce, like a small animal that was ready to pounce and bite at any time.
Ling Yiran felt that Lil Ci was looking at her as though he was looking at his enemy. She felt a sudden pang of pain in her heart.
Yi Jinli took a step forward and stood between the little one and Ling Yiran, just in case Lil Ci did something to hurt Ling Yiran.
"We're not going to separate you from your sister. We just want to give you a better home," Yi Jinli said coldly.
"I only want to be with Sis!" the little one said stubbornly and growled at Yi Jinli like a small animal protesting against an unusually powerful beast.
Yi Jinli stared at the little one's face. His eyes suddenly darkened, and he narrowed his eyes as if to take a closer look at Lil Ci.
Just then, school was over and the students came out one by one. The little one immediately rushed to He Zixin when he saw her coming out. His small hands grabbed He Zixin tightly.
The two little ones hugged each other, making Ling Yiran look like a bad person. Students and parents were also looking their way.
"It seems that the child is refusing to come with us, and the same goes for the sister. We'd better go," said Yi Jinli.
Ling Yiran sighed and nodded. Before leaving, she said to the two siblings, "Since you’ve refused, I won't mention it again. Here's my phone number. Call me if you get into any trouble."
With that said, she handed He Zixin a piece of paper with her phone number on it.
He Zixin hesitated a little but took Ling Yiran's note anyway.
