Chapter 2480: Chapter 2480

Yang Xiaona was momentarily stunned by his words, then shook her head continuously, and looked at him with emotion, "Thank you."

Ruan Chi patted her shoulder without saying anything.

Next to them, Jiaojiao watched, and couldn’t help but rub her eyes.

For lunch, Jiaojiao had called to have food delivered from the hotel, all relatively light and nourishing. Looking at Yang Xiaodi’s current state made her wish she could simply fatten her up quickly.

Yang Xiaodi slept in the morning, and by noon she obviously felt much better. Seeing the exquisite dishes laid out on the table in the hospital room, she was a bit at a loss and kept looking to Yang Xiaona for help.

Yang Xiaona actually didn’t have much of an appetite, but to accompany Yang Xiaodi, she gathered her spirits to eat with her and reassured her, "It’s okay, eat up. These are just a small token from your sister Jiaojiao, welcoming you to Beidu."

Upon hearing this, Jiaojiao also quickly chimed in, "Yes, yes, Xiaodi, eat more. If it’s not enough, tell me. These are somewhat mild. Once you’re feeling better, I’ll invite you to my family’s hotel to eat anything you want."

Yang Xiaodi waved her hands decisively, "No need, no need, this is already so good. Really, I... I haven’t had such good food over the New Year."

Saying this, she subconsciously rubbed her clothes’ hem, but upon touching it, realized her clothes had been discarded, and now she was wearing the hospital’s patient gown.

She rubbed the hem, smiled a little shyly, with a tone of admiration, "Big cities are really great, even the hospital clothes are so soft, they feel really comfortable."

Her words made Yang Xiaona tear up again and she turned to leave the ward, with Ruan Chi following her out.

Yang Xiaodi’s face turned pale, knowing she had misspoken again, her hands nervously clutched together, unsure whether to chase after them or what to do.

At this moment, she felt a warmth on her hand, and when she looked over, she saw Jiaojiao beside her offering a comforting smile.

Yang Xiaodi felt warmth in her heart, and unsure if Jiaojiao’s smile was just so healing, she hesitantly asked, "Miss Ruan, my sister..."

"Xiaodi, your sister just said I’m older than you, and since your sister is my god-sister, you can call me sister too, Ruan sister, Jiaojiao sister, whichever feels right," Jiaojiao said, then lifted her hand to scoop a bowl of chicken porridge for her, "You must be hungry, let’s eat first, don’t wait for them."

Yang Xiaona looked at the bowl of fragrant, appetizing chicken porridge placed before her, swallowed instinctively. She was already starving, her front and back touching each other, having only enough stolen money for a train ticket, no money for food, so on the two-day-one-night train ride, she only ate three hard-baked buns she had prepared beforehand, one a day, washed down with train-provided hot water. Now, seeing this table full of food, she couldn’t hold back anymore, and bent down to gobble it up.

Jiaojiao helped serve the dishes, occasionally taking a bite herself, but her mood wasn’t much better than Yang Xiaona’s outside.

She didn’t even dare imagine what things Yang Xiaodi might have gone through; thinking about it made her feel bad for Yang Xiaona.

Yang Xiaodi was truly hungry, and the dishes Jiaojiao ordered were easy to digest, so even though she ate a lot, she didn’t feel uncomfortable. After finishing, looking at the messy leftover dishes, she awkwardly wiped her mouth, her expression a bit embarrassed.
