<strong>Chapter 263: Chapter 263: Didn’t Expect You to Be So Clingy</strong>
“Okay, I’ve noted it down, but there’s no rush to repay the money. You both just focus on getting your health back for now. The Second Mechanical Factory will be hiring temporary workers in half a month, plenty of time for you to prepare after you’re discharged from the hospital. By the way, do you know where the Second Mechanical Factory is?”
“I know. It’s just a twenty-minute bike ride from my ce.”
“Good, it’s not far then. That will makemuting to and from work easier for you.”
Kang Li said with a smile, her gaze returning to Feng Yi, “Your family have looked for you, but clearly, your parents haven’t given up on you. I’m telling you this because I want you to know that once you make a decision, don’t regret it.”
“I won’t regret it.”
Even if he fell into abject poverty, even if one day he starved to death outside, he would not regret the decisions he had made!
“Alright, as long as you are sure of yourself.”
As she spoke, Kang Li nced at the wontons and therge meat buns on the table and knew that Feng Yi would not start eating until she left. So she pulled out the money and coupons Mrs. Qi had asked her to give to the young man, stepped forward, and handed them to him, “This is from my godmother for you, take it.”
“I can’t ept it.”
Feng Yi refused.
Kang Li pushed them into the young man’s hands, “Just take it if it’s given to you, now is not the time for second-guessing.”
Feng Yi pursed his lips and finally grasped the money and coupons in his palm. After a moment, he said, “Sister Kang Li, if only you were my real sister. Ever since I was little, not one of my step-siblings liked me. They just bullied me, ordered me around… They never treated me as their brother…”
She reached out to pat the young man’s head, to offer somefort, but realized he was taller than she had expected. She had to tip-toe slightly to reach him,
Suppressing the awkwardness, Kang Li was about to withdraw her hand that was stranded mid-air when, unexpectedly, the young man bowed his head as if unintentionally. This gesture made Kang Li’s heart turn sour for a moment.
In the end, she still touched the top of the young man’s head and said with a smile, “But you’ve already started calling me ‘Sister Kang Li,’ haven’t you? So I am indeed your sister. You can call me whatever you like, and I will always respond.”
“Sister… Sister! Sister! Sister…”
Feng Yi called out softly at first, but seeing Kang Li’s beautiful face brimming with smiles, her eyes filled with mirth that answered his call, he couldn’t help grinning and calling out several more times.
“Alright, let’s not be so childish, okay?”
Him calling out and her responding each time was really strange, wasn’t it?!
Making a gesture to stop, Kang Li shook her head helplessly.
“I shouldn’t stay any longer. You guys should eat breakfast before it gets cold and loses its vor.” Seeing the young man’s reluctant expression, Kang Li smiled and said, “I still have some matters to attend to at home, so I must go.”
Feng Yi: “Then let me walk you out, Sister.”
Kang Li shook her head, “No need.” She walked towards the door of the ward, and suddenly, she paused and turned back to the two young men following her, “Almost forgot to ask, what are your educational backgrounds?”
Feng Yi: “I… Ipleted one year of high school.”
Mo Yan: “I finished middle school.”
“Try to read more books when you have time. Just the textbooks from school, cover everything properly from primary through middle to high school. What you learn bes your own, and nobody can take that away from you.”
Leaving them with this advice, Kang Li averted her gaze and waved at them, “Go on and eat your breakfast, I’m really off this time.” Standing at the door of the ward, Feng Yi muttered softly, “Just like that, she’s gone.”
Mo Yan gave him a sideways nce, “I didn’t expect you to be so clingy.” He turned and went back into the ward, with Feng Yi following close behind, “Who are you calling clingy?”
