Rongcheng International Airport.
Liu Yingting was returning, and Du Fei and Liu Shishi accompanied her to the airport.
The young girl looked at the two of them and said, "Cousin, Cousin-in-law, thank you for taking care of me these past few days."
"Why be so polite? You're my cousin, it's only right that I take care of you," Liu Shishi replied with a smile.
As for Du Fei, he smiled faintly.
Although Liu Yingting was a bit audacious, it was related to her upbringing. He believed that after this experience, she would mature and no longer be so willful and reckless.
"By the way, Cousin, I hope when I return next time, I can attend your wedding banquet with Cousin-in-law." Liu Yingting chuckled and winked at Du Fei.
Liu Shishi's face blushed, and she slapped Liu Yingting, "You little rascal, so clever. You don't need to worry about my affairs."
"Cousin, that's not right. As your cousin, I have an obligation to care about your lifelong happiness. Look how outstanding Cousin-in-law is, and how much he dotes on you. It would be great if you married him sooner," the young girl said. Having been helped by Du Fei, she wanted to give him a push before leaving.
However, Du Fei helplessly shook his head. Marriage was something that should happen naturally; outsiders' words were of no help. It was just that Liu Yingting had good intentions, and Du Fei couldn't bear to discourage her, so he didn't speak up.
At this moment, Liu Shishi couldn't help but glance at Du Fei and said softly, "Du Fei, did you pour some intoxicating soup into my cousin? Why is she trying so hard to speak well of you?"
"I swear to heaven, I didn't do anything. This must be Tingting's discerning eye that discovered my feelings for you," Du Fei said, pretending to raise his hand in an oath. His actions made both Liu Shishi and Liu Yingting burst into laughter.
After that, the three of them chatted for a while longer. Seeing that it was getting late, Liu Shishi told Liu Yingting to go through security and wait in the departure lounge.
Liu Yingting agreed, but she kept looking back as she walked, as if waiting for someone.
"What's wrong? Are you waiting for someone?" Liu Shishi asked, following Liu Yingting's gaze back.
After looking several times, Liu Yingting finally said with disappointment, "It's nothing. Cousins, you don't need to see me off. I'm not a child. I can go by myself." She said this as the security checkpoint was not far ahead.
Liu Shishi nodded and stood in place with Du Fei, watching Liu Yingting walk inside.
"Tingting!"
"Tingting!"
"Wait!"
Just as Liu Yingting was about to step through the security gate, someone loudly called her name. Liu Yingting's face lit up with joy, and she turned to look behind her. Du Fei and Liu Shishi also turned around.
Not far away, Hao Kai, leaning on two crutches, was hobbling towards them. Liu Yingting put down her luggage and walked towards Hao Kai.
"Why are you here? Your legs are not convenient, you should be resting at home." Liu Yingting walked up to Hao Kai and looked at his leg.
Hao Kai first nodded to Du Fei and Liu Shishi, greeting them. Then he smiled and replied, "My legs were checked by your cousin-in-law the other day. He said my legs have improved a lot. It's not good to lie in bed all the time; I need to move around occasionally."
"Oh," Liu Yingting said, and then fell silent.
Hao Kai hesitated for a moment, then continued, "Tingting, after what happened before, I've also come to my senses. It's not good for me to keep messing around like this. I plan to go back to school and study hard."
"If you're going back to school, why are you telling me?" Liu Yingting asked with feigned confusion.
Du Fei and Liu Shishi, standing behind Liu Yingting, exchanged a look and couldn't help but laugh. Liu Yingting couldn't see their smiles, but Hao Kai saw them clearly. He sheepishly scratched his head and said, "Well, well, I was just thinking, if I study abroad in the future, I'd have someone I know there."
"Pfft." Liu Shishi couldn't help but burst into laughter. Liu Yingting turned around and saw Du Fei and Liu Shishi's expressions, feeling a little embarrassed. She stepped forward and kicked Hao Kai.
"Ouch, my leg." Hao Kai gasped in pain.
"Ah! I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry. Is your leg okay?" Liu Yingting then remembered that Hao Kai's leg had been injured while saving her. She had just kicked his leg, and she reached out to support him, asking with concern. In fact, Hao Kai was faking it. Liu Yingting had only kicked his calf, and his injured knee was far from it. But Liu Yingting was flustered with worry and didn't think much of it.
Time ticked by, and announcements echoed through the airport terminal. Hao Kai and Liu Yingting were forced to end their conversation.
"Tingting, don't worry. With my IQ, I'll definitely get a full scholarship to study abroad. I'll come to find you then." Hao Kai said with a smug smile.
Liu Yingting gave him an annoyed look. "You should go back and rest your leg. I need to board."
Then, Hao Kai and Du Fei stood outside the security gate, waving goodbye to Liu Yingting.
After telling Liu Yingting to call her when she landed, Liu Shishi reluctantly turned to leave.
"Uh, Cou-, Cousin-in-law, thank you for saving my leg. If it weren't for you, I'd probably be ruined for life." Hao Kai's leg had been diagnosed by doctors in the hospital as having over 95% chance of no recovery, with the remaining 5% requiring him to try at the best orthopedic hospital in the country. But to his great surprise, after Liu Yingting brought him to Du Fei's Traditional Chinese Medicine clinic, his leg was cured. Although he had thanked Du Fei before, at this moment, Hao Kai was still grateful from the bottom of his heart. Because if Du Fei hadn't cured his leg, with Hao Kai's personality, being confined to a wheelchair for life would have been worse than death.
"You've already thanked me. Many people make mistakes when they are young and regret them for life. But I hope that doesn't include you. Remember what you said to Tingting, go back to school and study hard. Achieving academic success in the future will be your greatest reliance," Du Fei had a good impression of Hao Kai. Although the incident at Mount Feie had something to do with him, his courage to stand up and protect Liu Yingting at the most critical moment was something most people lacked. For that alone, Hao Kai deserved his approval.
Hao Kai listened to Du Fei's words and nodded earnestly. Then, Du Fei patted his shoulder and left with Liu Shishi.
