Chapter 53
53 Her Bodyguards
After spending a week in L City to help her best friend with her wedding, Zhang Li Xue finally left the city with her family.
Although her ankle was a little better, her family insisted she continued and rest.
Zhang Li Xue could only listen to their advice. She wanted to continue to play her favorite basketball and had to recuperate well. It would be troublesome if her injury turned worse.
At this time, Zhang Li Xue sat in the lounge chair while watching her brother, Zhang Yi Hai playing a two-on-two basketball match with their cousin, the triplets.
A year after Zhang Yi Hai was born, her youngest aunt finally gave birth to the triplets. From the first time she laid her eyes on the triplets, Zhang Li Xue had decided to make them her basketball teammates.
Just like that, there were five of them. Because she was the eldest, Zhang Li Xue became the leader. Her dream to have her own basketball team was finally realized.
When they were younger, Zhang Li Xue often led them to create trouble. When they were older, the triples plus Zhang Yi Hai had become her bodyguard.
Just like her father, the four bodyguards would help to drive a lot of flies away from her. Anyone who wanted to woo her would have to go through these men. Many had given up as they were defeated by her bodyguards.
In the center of the basketball court, Zhang Yi Hai was seen running over to the hoop and finally, jumped up high with a slam dunk.
.....
Seeing them running around the court made her want to join them as well. However, her ankle would not allow it. Zhang Li Xue could only shout her encouragement from the sideline.
After running around for almost an hour, the boys finally decided to take a break. Seeing that her brother was leading the triplets to the side, Zhang Li Xue took the drinking water bottle and passed it over to everyone.
“Sister, thank you.” Wei Zi Ming, the eldest of the triples took the water bottle and drank its contents quickly. Because he was the oldest, his family would call him Da Bao. The second brother was called Er Bao while the youngest was called Xiao Bao.
Zhang Li Xue nodded. She looked at the tall men around her enviously and wished that she too could be as tall as them.
The second brother of the triplet, Wei Zi Kai wiped his mouth with the back of his hand before looking at Zhang Li Xu’s ankle. “Sister, is your ankle still hurting?”
“It’s not hurting anymore,” Zhang Li Xue looked at her ankle. “But it’s better to let it rest a while longer.”
The brothers also agreed with her decision.
At this time, the sound of footsteps could be heard.
Zhang Li Xue turned around and saw that it was her uncle Qi Zheng.
“Uncle Qi Zheng,” the group greeted the middle-aged man politely.
“Uncle Qi Zheng,” Zhang Li Xue smiled. “Did you come alone? Where’s my Auntie Yun and the others?”
“They went to buy some supplies.” Qi Zheng said. He lowered his gaze to look at the girl’s ankle. “Your father asked me to check on your ankle.”
Zhang Li Xue let out a helpless sigh. “It was days ago. My ankle is almost cured. Why is my dad calling you to check on me?”
“He’s just worried about you,” Qi Zheng said. “He knew that you liked basketball very much and wanted to get back to the court quickly.”
Zhang Li Xue smiled when she heard her Uncle Qi Zheng’s words.
“Come on. Let me give you a check-up,” Qi Zheng said. He sat across the girl and helped to raise her legs. Then, he began his inspection of her ankle by moving it around slowly. “Does it hurt?”
“It doesn’t hurt.”
“Fortunately, you were given an early first aid,” Qi Zheng said.
“Uh-huh.” Zhang Li Xue thought about that young man who had helped her during that wedding. His massage and ice compress had helped her to recover faster. Heat crept to her face as she recalled the way that man had carried her to the chair.
???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????
Qi Zheng put her feet on the ground before spraying his hands with hand sanitizer. “Your ankle is recovering nicely. Just give it two weeks of rest. I will come over to check on you again.”
“It’s not necessary. I can go over to the hospital as well.”
Qi Zheng smiled. “I heard that you injured yourself trying to catch the bride’s bouquet. Does this mean that our Li Xue is going to get married soon?”
“No way!” Wei Zi Qian, the youngest of the triplets frowned when he heard their uncle’s words. “Uncle Qi Zheng, that person will have to go through us first before he can take away our sister.”
The boys stood up straight with their chests puffed up.
Qi Zheng laughed. He looked at Li Xue again and teased, “That’s right. I almost forgot about your little bodyguard.”
Zhang Li Xue looked at the siblings helplessly. Although she does enjoy their protection, Zhang Li Xue began to wonder if they were not planning to let her meet anyone and date.
Her friends only knew that her father was a difficult person. They were unaware that there were another four who were looking after her.
“Uncle Qi Zheng, I heard that you will have a few new apprentices,” Zhang Li Xue quickly changed the topic.
“Uh-huh... They arrived a few days ago. Hopefully, they won’t be giving me trouble.” Qi Zheng rubbed his forehead as he thought of the few young doctors who were sent over to him.
A few years ago, he met a few troublesome young doctors and had a massive headache. It seemed that the younger generation was not as patient. In his days...
“Qi Zheng.” At this time, Zhang Yu Han came out and walked over to the group. He saw that his friend had finished giving his daughter a check-up and asked, “How is it?”
“She can probably attempt a slam dunk after resting for at least two weeks,” Qi Zheng said. “In the meantime, she should rest properly. Otherwise, it will take a long time to heal.”
Zhang Yu Han nodded. The two friends chatted for a bit before Zhang Yu Han invited his friend to have some snacks.
Zhang Li Xue followed them inside and saw that her mother was ending a phone call. Her mother noticed her and smiled. “Li Xue, Aunt Mu invited us to her place this weekend.”
“Aunt Mu?”
“You remember Mu Zhen Yu, right?” Li Qin Yao said. “Aunt Mu said that he’s returning from his overseas study. This time, his family is holding a banquet to welcome him back.”
Zhang Yi Hai was walking behind his sister when he heard his mother’s words. His eyes narrowed as he thought of that man who was often with his sister when they were younger.
