Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 842: Chapter 843: Keep Guard for Her

Last night had already been an overstep.

If he hadn’t guessed that Chiang Xiao had been feeding him water in that way, causing him momentarily to lose control, he definitely would have waited another year before daring to touch her like that.

If that could even be considered touching her.

But he didn’t regret it.

It was just a shame that when she was feeding him water, he truly had been unconscious, with only a faint impression of the sensation; most of it was wishful thinking on his part.

If she had been more insistent, more composed, he might not have been so sure.

Meng Xinian’s gaze involuntarily fell again on Chiang Xiao’s lips.

She was talking to Ge Liutao, her bright red lips opening and closing, which made him feel starved just watching them.

Indeed, once something starts, it becomes difficult to control.

Meng Xinian secretly chuckled to himself.

Even though his first junior high school kiss, um, had already been snatched by a certain girl, he didn’t intend to let himself go. He had to keep these desires in check until Chiang Xiao turned sixteen, otherwise, what would he do if something really happened accidentally?

”Arrange my discharge from the hospital, I’ll heal at home,” he said to Chen Yin.

Staying in the hospital would keep his grandparents and Chiang Xiao from resting properly.

Besides, he didn’t know what Chiang Xiao had given him, but he knew his injury, and it was definitely healing much faster than normal.

He didn’t want to stay in the hospital, as it was too easy for a doctor to notice something was amiss.

”Your injury is so severe, and you want to leave after just one night?” Chen Yin was shocked. Seeing Meng Xinian’s wounds the day before, he thought Meng Xinian would have to stay at least ten days.

”It’s not that serious, healing at home will do. Also, I need to contact Officer Yang and have him send someone to deal with those two people,” Meng said.

Seeing the somewhat pallid faces of Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao, he knew they must not have slept well the night before.

He felt very guilty.

With a dead person at home and another severely injured, how could the elderly possibly sleep well?

He was just glad they hadn’t been scared to death.

So today, he definitely had to quickly get things in order.

Having no other choice, Chen Yin went to arrange his discharge. The hospital naturally disagreed, and it took a lot of effort on his part.

Thus, Meng Xinian was discharged in the morning.

Chen Yin rented a wheelchair from the hospital since Meng Xinian still couldn’t put weight on his right leg.

Once home, Chiang Xiao found a place to escape to and immediately made the excuse that she needed to shower, quickly avoiding him. If she kept hovering in front of Meng Xinian, his gaze alone could melt her.

”What’s with Xiaoxiao?” Chiang Songhai also found Chiang Xiao’s behavior a bit odd.

”Maybe she didn’t sleep well last night taking care of me at the hospital,” Meng replied earnestly.

The girl was truly shy.

However, it was better that she kept her distance today, otherwise he would always feel itchy.

Taking it as truth, Chiang Songhai said, ”Then it’s fine, let her have a good rest after lunch. Xinian, now that you are back home, relax a bit, rest well and recuperate, the injury will surely heal.”

”Grandpa, I understand,” Meng Xinian responded, his eyes flashing slightly.

He knew his injury would surely heal.

But at this moment, he had no intention of asking Chiang Xiao what she had given him to eat.

The secrets surrounding Chiang Xiao kept refreshing his speculations, but since the magic he’d experienced with that cup, he had been preparing himself mentally.

No matter what she might reveal to him in the future, she would always be her, the Chiang Xiaoxiao he would never give up on.

But he had to keep her secrets well, ensuring no one but him had the chance to pry into them.
