Ding Jiayi had been telling herself that Qiao Dongliang had just woken up and was not as vigorous as before. He was still weak, so it was normal to ignore them. This was how a patient would behave. It might just be her misconception after all.
But since Ding Jiayi was not the only one who noted the strange atmosphere, but also Qiao Zijin, Ding Jiayi started to feel uneasy.
"Your dad is sick, and his wounds must hurt badly. He does not have the strength to speak. Don't think too much." Ding Jiayi patted Qiao Zijin on her head. She seemed to be consoling Qiao Zijin as well as herself.
The three of them would have to go back in the evening, and someone would have to stay behind to take care of Qiao Dongliang.
Without waiting for Ding Jiayi to say anything, Qiao Dongliang spoke up. "Nan Nan, you should go back tonight. Zijin should stay behind to take care of me."
