Little Xu Jun frowned as he opened his eyes to the world. He stared at the ceiling with a hint of confusion in the depths of his eyes.
The last time he remembered…. He had seen that red dot on the pretty big brother's neck.
His eyes widened as he tried sitting up with a jolt, the activity which hurt his shoulders a little. He hissed in pain.
The pain was so blinding that it almost caused him to lose his consciousness once again. He felt a trace of darkness appearing in front of his eyes, making his vital signs increase a bit because of that activity.
The beeping machine made a sound that seemed to have attracted the attention of the man inside the room.
"Careful not to wake up." Sounded a familiar voice next to his ears as someone gently lifted the little Xu Jun's body and made himself even more comfortable.
He finally looked over when his vision cleared up and the pain subsided. His eyes were big and curious with a hint of anxiety floating in the depths of them.
The man's face up close was the first thing that was visible to him when his vision cleared up, sending Xu Jun's little heart into chaos. It thumped in his chest as a trace of warmth and urgency erupted in it. He licked his lips and nodded.
Just then he remembered the red dot as the traces of worry filled his eyes again as he asked hurriedly, "Wait, big brother, are you okay?"
Liu Yang felt a hint of complicated emotion in the depths of his heart. He stared at the little kid, who was himself on the hospital bed, had just received an operation that went on for hours, and after waking up, just what did this little guy ask?!
Never ever had he seen someone as foolish as this little kid.
He shook his head as he patted the little guy's head gently, saying, "Go to sleep."
After saying those words, he turned around and walked out of that place, making Xu Jun's heart panic a little. He didn't want the man to get away from him. He was also worried about him, you know?!
But when he saw the officer walking without any injury, Xu Jun's heart calmed down a little as he turned his head back to the ceiling.
Wait a minute…..
A tube light suddenly brightened up in his head as he realized belatedly: why am I lying in the hospital bed?
He looked up in confusion as he could remember nothing else other than the initial panic he had felt in his heart once he noticed that red dot back then. After that….
His mind went fuzzy as he shook his head. Since he was lying on the bed, and since the man was alright, supposedly, he blocked the attack. Isn't that why he was in the hospital?
A hint of excitement bubbled in his heart as he licked his lips and opened up the screen from his mind.
A congratulations pop-up appeared on the surface, which made Xu Jun a little dazed as he stared at the screen for a few seconds. The next second, that strange pop-up with banners and flowers disappeared, and the next second, another pop-up appeared, showing another line.
"User, your next mission is to enter the police academy as a student and excel in your studies, topping your classmates."
Xu Jun: "....."
The one thing he hated the most was studying! Damn it, why did he have to get this kind of strange mission?
No, that wasn't the point! How could he even get permission to enter the police academy when he couldn't even get the man to keep him at that luxurious house?!
A trace of anxiety appeared in the depths of the little guy's eyes. He closed the window and frowned.
Maybe he should just ask directly…. After all, he did save the man's life. So consequently, the man would have to reward him with something, wouldn't he?
En, this was a good idea.
Thinking like this, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
A little while later, when he opened his eyes, he could see a few people talking.
"En, yes, his case was pretty critical, and that's why it took us a few hours to treat him, but now that his shoulders have healed, he should be fine." The voice of an old man echoed into his ears. "As soon as he wakes up, you can take him away. Just remember to keep water and any kind of moisture from that area for a week, and after a week, you can bring him here for observation."
"Okay." Liu Yang's voice also sounded in the same room as he said, "Are these the medicines?"
"Yes, be careful not to let him touch. You know how kids mess up with the medicines. These are strong meds, and make sure he doesn't touch his eyes after touching them. That's why, better to give him yourself."
"Okay."
It seemed that a nurse noticed the young kid waking up as she said, "Doctor, he is awake."
Xu Jun opened his eyes and looked at the nurse, then toward the doctor, and then finally stopped at Liu Yang.
He was a kid, sure, but he wasn't as stupid. He could understand from the conversation between the two of them that Liu Yang would be the one to personally take care of him. Isn't it?
A hint of anticipation filled his eyes as he looked up and stared at the man.
The officer, who happened to meet those extremely brightened up and excited gaze, was stunned. He nodded at the kid and said, "Get ready. I'm taking you in for a few days."
Only a few days?
It's okay. That's enough. He would find a way to soften the man's heart soon!
Xu Jun still smiled as he said, "Please take care of me, big brother!"
Liu Yang felt a little bit uncomfortable under that little kid's gaze as he sighed and turned around, walking out of the room to finish the discharging procedure.
