After a sleepless night, You Su's eyes were filled with bloodshot veins like tiny red worms.
At the break of dawn, Ji Lingruo's weak words, "You Su, I'm hungry," finally roused You Su from his long vigil.
Like the stone monkey enlightened by Buddha, You Su instantly regained his vigor. He hurriedly got up, realizing his whole body was stiff and sore, especially his hands, which had been clenching tightly all night, leaving dried blood in his palms.
He jogged to his junior sister's door, trying not to reveal his intense concern, and asked:
"Junior Sister, are you feeling better? What do you want for breakfast?"
"Just cook me a bowl of noodles, with two fried eggs! No greens!"
The junior sister's strength made You Su's heart ache. He gently said:
"Eating too many eggs when you're unwell isn't good, it's hard to digest. One fried egg, with more greens."
"Just two! Less greens, will that do..."
"Alright then." You Su smiled and turned to head to the kitchen.
