Xiao Xiao was just about to refuse—
He'd only been crouching for a little while. It was no trouble for him.
But he turned his head.
He'd heard something.
"Okay."
Xiao Xiao smiled at the old woman.
He slowly stood up.
Xiao Xiao turned to look ahead.
The ambulance's siren was clearly audible.
The medical staff came over to the old woman.
Xiao Xiao had already explained everything to them over the phone.
He'd asked the hospital to send a doctor to examine the old woman's injured foot.
If it really wasn't serious, he would respect her wishes and not take her back to the hospital.
If the injury had worsened, then naturally... no matter how unwilling she was, he would have to take her back to the hospital.
Fortunately.
It was a happy ending for everyone.
The old woman's foot hadn't gotten any worse.
Of course.
She still needed to rest.
After giving Xiao Xiao a long list of things to watch out for, the medical staff filed into the ambulance and drove away.
Soon, the area grew quiet again.
There was only the rain pattering on the ground and the rustling of the branches and leaves.
"You..."
The old woman was the first to break the silence.
She pressed her lips together.
She turned to look at the young man standing beside her, holding an umbrella over her.
Her expression was somewhat uneasy and embarrassed.
"You should go back."
"You don't have to stay here with me."
The old woman lowered her eyes.
Xiao Xiao crouched down again.
He looked at the old woman.
"Are you still planning to wait here?"
The old woman nodded without hesitation.
"If I leave, what will you do without an umbrella?"
