This Childhood Sweetheart is a Little Sweet

Chapter 91

Though the state tournament had its regrets, it was still a success.

While Yi Ming did not win the championship, Liu Xiaoyun won it for him. Although he had a few injuries on his face, Yi Ming was well cared for by Jiang Wei over the past few days, and he felt that the fall was worth it.

"Don't move, I'm applying the medicine."

After returning to D City, Yi Ming's injuries on his face were gradually healing, all thanks to Jiang Wei's daily medication.

"It's itchy..."

Leaning back on the sofa, Yi Ming whined dramatically, "Jiang Xiaowel, you'll have to blow on it to make it better."

Jiang Wei pressed her lips together. "Don't be silly."

"Jiang Xiaowel, you're being mean to me, how could you be so harsh to a sick person? I'm so miserable..." Yi Ming blinked his eyes, pretending to hug a pillow in protest. "I've realized it now, you don't have me in your heart, you only have Xiao Shi. Since you came back, you've been making bone broth and buying snacks for him every day, but what about me? I'm just an afterthought..."

With that, Yi Ming pulled open the drawer of the coffee table with a rattle and took out all the instant noodles inside:

Braised beef, scallion pork ribs, pickled Chinese cabbage, fresh shrimp fish slices...

Jiang Wei knew she was in the wrong, shaking her head and chuckling lightly, "These past few days I've been busy with the courses I've fallen behind on, and you said you didn't have an appetite to go to the cafeteria, so I've had to inconvenience you a bit..."

"That's just an excuse," Yi Ming pouted, eyeing Xiao Shi's food bowl with a gloomy expression. "Then how did you have time to simmer broth for him when you got home from school?"

"Simmering the broth may take a long time, but most of that time is just waiting, and during that time I can use it to read books or do homework," Jiang Wei explained patiently.

"Then I want to drink bone broth too."

Yi Ming revealed a row of small white teeth, grinning childishly.

"I really don't know what to do with you," Jiang Wei's expression was nonchalant, but she raised the corners of her mouth slightly as she stood up and said, "Let me go check if there's any left in Xiao Shi's bowl, it should be about finished, probably just a few drops left..."

"Jiang Xiaowel!"

Yi Ming was so exasperated by Jiang Wei that he let out a mournful wail.

But he failed to notice that during the time he had been living with Jiang Wei, this unsmiley girl had indeed been smiling more and more...

In these past few days, Jiang Wei's care for Xiao Shi had indeed increased a bit.

A few days ago, when Jiang Wei learned that Yi Ming had been injured in the competition, she rushed to the neighboring city immediately. On the way, she thought about it and still called Elder Sister Zhou: "Elder Sister Zhou, it's Jiang Wei. Yi Ming is injured, and I'm on my way to the neighboring city now. I don't know how many days it will take for me to come back, and I really couldn't find anyone else at the moment, so I have to bother Elder Sister Zhou to take care of Xiao Shi for this period."

Jiang Wei told Elder Sister Zhou about the spare key hidden in the doorframe, and Elder Sister Zhou repeatedly comforted her on the phone:

"Don't worry, just focus on taking care of your 'little cat', I'll take good care of your little dog for you."

Jiang Wei was very grateful for Elder Sister Zhou's care for Xiao Shi during this period.

After Yi Ming was discharged from the hospital and returned to D City, Jiang Wei went to Elder Sister Zhou's place to pick up Xiao Shi.

"You're finally back, the little guy has been missing you, and he hasn't been eating well these past few days, always waiting by the door and refusing to move." Elder Sister Zhou sighed, quickly handing the now thinner Xiao Shi to Jiang Wei. "It's my fault, my experience in raising dogs is not enough, and I couldn't take good care of Xiao Shi for you."

"No, Elder Sister Zhou, I'm very grateful." Jiang Wei hugged the joyfully wagging Xiao Shi tightly, Xiao Shi's pure and adorable affection for her was probably the most precious thing a pet could offer a human.
