His eyes never left Yuxuan's face, as if he was afraid that she would disappear in the blink of an eye.

After hearing Zhou Shuwan's words, a glimmer of hope finally flashed in his eyes. The corners of his mouth trembled slightly, but he didn't say anything in the end.

Zhong Tiyun stood aside, wiping her tears silently.

Yuxuan is also a child she has watched grow up, and is her second brother's biological daughter.

Now that my second brother and his wife are gone, if something happens to this ill-fated child again...

She sighed softly, reached out and gently stroked Yuxuan's forehead, her movements so gentle as if she was touching a fragile piece of porcelain.

Zhou Shuwan then asked about what happened when Yuxuan was awake yesterday.

Zhipeng, who had been silent the entire time, finally spoke. His voice was as hoarse as if it had been rubbed by sandpaper. "When she was conscious yesterday, although it was only for a short time, she recognized me and called me, but she passed out again very quickly..."

Yuxuan was very weak at that time, and her voice was almost inaudible when she called him.

Zhipeng suddenly choked up and covered his face: "She was trying to save me at that time..."

At such a critical moment, they and Xue Tao's family were squeezed into a corner by the fallen ceiling.

Because the place was extremely narrow, he was only concerned with protecting Yuxuan and did not notice the second collapse at all.

It was Yuxuan who first noticed the unstable structure around her and shouted, "Be careful!"

Then he pressed on him.

Then there was dust, falling ice, and collapse.

Yuxuan was pinned there...

She immediately turned into a bloody mess...

At that time, he held her in his arms as she was weak and pinned there, and all he could see was darkness.

When she woke up, the first thing she said to him was: "Fortunately, brother, you are okay..."

Then he fainted again.

Thinking back on this, a strong sense of self-blame and guilt almost filled his entire body.

He clenched his fists tightly, his eyes bloodshot.

"Zhipeng, you need to rest too." Zhou Shuwan seemed to see that something was wrong with him and comforted him gently: "Yuxuan will definitely need you to take care of her after she wakes up. You have to take care of yourself. Don't let her worry about you!"

Zhipeng closed his eyes, tears silently rolling down his cheeks. He nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, Wanwan, I will take good care of myself."

No matter what happens to Yuxuan in the future, he will take care of her...

Take good care of her...

He didn't want anything now, his only wish was to wake his sister up!

Zhou Shuwan did not continue to persuade him.

She knew that Zhipeng's mood at the moment could not be comforted with words, and he needed to protect Yuxuan in his own way.

They didn't dare to disturb Yuxuan too much. They looked at her for a while and then left.

Good Xuedong and Chunchun are here to deliver food. They have been taking turns guarding here these days.

They just went back to make some food and brought it over.

Zhipeng hasn't had a good meal or rest in the past few days. If this continues for a long time, his health will deteriorate.

So Xue Tao took Chunchun back and made some fish soup for her.

Xue Dong was carrying a thermos bucket, while Chun Chun was carrying a cloth bag containing a few cooked sweet potatoes.

The two of them walked slowly into the ward, and when they saw Zhou Shuwan and the others were there, they greeted them first.

"Wanwan, you guys are here too." Xue Dong smiled as he placed the thermos on the table beside him and opened the lid. The aroma of fish soup immediately filled the entire ward. "Zhipeng, it's time for you to eat something. You haven't had a good rest these past few days."

Zhipeng forced a smile and took the bowl handed to him by Xue Dong. His eyes were still a little distracted, as if all his attention was focused on Yuxuan.

He lowered his head and scooped a spoonful of fish soup, then put it into his mouth mechanically. He didn't seem to care about the taste, he just wanted to fill his stomach.

Zhou Shuwan looked at Zhipeng with mixed feelings.

She turned to Xue Dong and said, "You've worked hard these past few days."

Xue Dong waved his hands, his tone heavy: "What's the big deal? We are all relatives, and we should look after each other. Besides, we didn't do anything big. We just made some soup and cooked some rice. It's good that we can help."
