Huang Xiaojue was extremely distressed. "Xixi, I really don't want you to go through all this trouble. You know what my mom is like. If she sees the injury on your head, she'll ask endless questions. If we lie, one lie requires a hundred more to cover it up, and that's exhausting. If we tell the truth, she'll just make a big fuss. I originally planned to wait a few days for you to rest and have the bandages on your head removed before taking you home. But..."
She stood up, beaming. "It's all right, Xiaojue. I'll go back with you today."
"But, Xixi..."
"My wound has mostly healed, so don't worry. Xiaojue, we just need to get our story straight and say I injured it in a fall."
Huang Xiaojue couldn't dissuade her, so they got in the car. He suddenly felt a rush of emotions and squeezed her hand tightly. Yan Xixi smiled sweetly. "Xiaojue, let's go buy some more gifts. We should pick something really nice, something your parents will definitely like."
