Chapter 28: Elder Sister's First Love Affair

  "Hmm, anyway, it's all in the past now. Let's just live well from now on and everything will be back to normal." Officer He patted my shoulder and said with a smile.

  I nodded, "Mm, just that my sister hasn't woken up yet..." I had intended to tell him about the Gu. But thinking again, the Gu was just a legendary creature, and telling him these strange things would inevitably make him suspect that my "illness" wasn't cured yet. One more thing is not as good as one less thing, anyway he couldn't help, so it's better to keep my mouth shut.

  "I went to see the doctor before I came in, and the doctor said that her brain CT results were normal, so there shouldn't be any major issues. Sometimes when people get a shock, they can react like this. Don't worry, just relax, she'll wake up."

  I don't know why, but from the moment Inspector He stepped through that door, I suddenly felt a lot safer. Especially with what he just said, it was like having family around.

  "Ah, thank you, Officer He."

  "Hehe, from now on don't call me Officer He anymore, how about calling me Old He? Being a police officer at the Public Security Bureau for one day is exhausting enough, after work I want to experience normal people's lives."

  "Haha, Old He." I chuckled and smiled at him with a hint of embarrassment.

  "You guys chat, I have something to attend to and will leave first." Suddenly, Li Xiao Su spoke up. Old He and I only then realized that we had been so engrossed in our conversation that we had left him standing aside for a long time.

  I sent Li Xiao Shu out of the ward, although I and he have no friendship so far, we still chatted a bit before parting ways and exchanged phone numbers. He asked me to contact him if anything happens, and I agreed. Having multiple friends is better than having multiple enemies.

  After coming back, I saw Old He sitting silently by the bed, helping my sister tidy up the quilt. The warm feeling grew stronger, and I couldn't help but think that if we became a family, it would be great!

  "Do you know when I met your sister?" Old He asked while tucking in his quilt.

  "This sentence actually surprised me, 'You and your older sister knew each other before?'"

  "Haha, you don't even know him but can still persuade him to plead for you with the school?"

  "Wow, I really didn't know about these things. Have you guys ever talked about romance before?"

  Old He sat down and began to tell the story of him and his older sister: "Hmm, your sister was my first love. We attended the same high school, but not in the same class. She was an anchor for our school TV station, and every Monday on the school radio news, you could see her. At that time, she was only 16 or 17 years old and was our school flower, with many boys chasing after her. Every day after school, there would be a group of boys pretending to walk in the same direction as her, actually trying to find an opportunity to talk to her. I also wanted to talk to her, but there were too many competitors, and I couldn't get the chance. So, I thought of a way: every morning, I would ride my bike to the breakfast stall downstairs from your house, timing it so that I could "accidentally" bump into your sister when she came down from upstairs, and invite her to have breakfast with me. She always only ate one small pancake. At first, I pushed my bike and walked with your sister together; later on, I discovered that your sister never wore a watch, and every time she looked at the time, she would use mine as a reference. One day, I set my watch 10 minutes fast, and after buying breakfast, I said to your sister: "Oh no, it's so late, we're going to be late! You sit on the bike, and we'll ride to school!" Your sister was in a hurry and agreed without thinking. Then, I rode my bike with your sister to school, stunning all the boys in our grade that time.
