The assistant standing behind him on the right quickly responded respectfully, "According to the rules, if you cannot complete your own work, let others help. The person being helped will run ten laps of the playground, and the person helping will run five laps."
"Did you hear that?" Pei Haonan's gaze faintly swept back to her face.
Before Yin Xiaoxiao could speak, the children started shouting.
"This is not fair! We want to help our sister, why should we punish her!"
"I'll run for my sister!" A child shouted first.
Immediately afterwards, one voice after another echoed, "I want it too!" "I can do it too!"
Seeing how they volunteered, Yin Xiaoxiao was moved and helpless at the same time.
Children are the most innocent, but also the most impulsive.
They don't understand that the more this happens, the more anger Pei Haonan will get.
In fact, not only them, but also herself, faced with Pei Haonan's cold and domineering behavior, could never control her impulses.
Especially recently, their relationship seems to have improved a bit, and she is a little less afraid of him...
Sure enough, Pei Haonan looked at her coldly, "When you come here, these little devils don't obey discipline anymore. What do you think we should do?"
Yin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but sigh, and looked back at him for a moment, "So, it is the most correct thing to do if the fault is mine alone and I am the only one to be punished."
…
The huge playground was steaming with heat under the scorching sun at noon.
Yin Xiaoxiao took heavy steps and ran round and round. She didn't know how many laps she had run.
She was covered in sweat, as if she had just been fished out of the water, but her throat was so dry that it was almost smoking, like a thousand-year-old desert.
Every time she ran, the ankle she had just sprained would throb in pain.
She gritted her teeth fiercely, and the veins on her forehead bulged one by one. There was only one voice in her mind - run on, hold on!
As she ran, the pain gradually became numb, and her vision gradually became unfocused...
The scorching sunlight shone directly on the ground, stinging her eyes.
She only felt that the vast expanse of white in front of her eyes turned into a colorful mass in the next second...
"Sister Xiaoxiao, come on!"
"Sister Xiaoxiao, hold on!"
Dozens of children gathered around the playground, cheering her up desperately, but they didn't dare to hand her water, let alone mention the matter of running for her.
If it weren't for their impulsiveness, Sister Xiaoxiao would not have been fined for running, and the number of laps would have been increased from ten to twenty...
As time passed by, the uneven sounds of cheering gradually unified into nervous counting sounds.
Yin Xiaoxiao's consciousness had already been baked into paste.
She was still running, but she saw a group of children suddenly cheering and rushing towards her!
"Sister Xiaoxiao, there's no need to run! It's already been twenty laps!"
"Ah? Yes..." Yin Xiaoxiao smiled blankly, and then, his consciousness suddenly fell into darkness...
"Sister Xiaoxiao! What's wrong with you..."
At the moment she fainted, Pei Haonan, who was standing on the second floor at some point, had an imperceptible unbearable flash in his eyes...
…
In the medical room, Yin Xiaoxiao was lying quietly on the bed, with an infusion tube tied on the back of her hand.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she met Pei Haonan's dark eyes.
"Mr. Pei, why are you here..." She looked around and couldn't react for a while.
Wasn't she doing a penalty run on the playground? Why was she lying here?
"I...I fainted?" She came to her senses, but couldn't remember whether she had finished running. "Where are the children? You didn't...punish them again, did you?"
She sat up with difficulty and looked at Pei Haonan nervously.
However, Pei Haonan just sat motionless on the edge of the bed, looking at her little face that gradually regained its color without saying a word.
"Mr. Pei, this lady had a bit of hypoglycemia because she just had a large dose of blood drawn. She didn't eat breakfast or lunch, and she didn't replenish sugar in time. She fainted after strenuous exercise and a bit of heatstroke.
, as long as the infusion is finished, you will wake up soon..."
"As for her ankle, it seems that she has been injured before, but she did not receive timely treatment, so she developed habitual dislocation and fracture. She should pay more attention in the future..."
The hospital doctor's words echoed in his mind, and a complicated look flashed in his eyes.
"What's wrong..." Yin Xiaoxiao was horrified by what he saw, "Did I not finish the run? I didn't faint on purpose, I'll go back and finish the run..."
"I can grant your wish and heal your father." Pei Haonan suddenly interrupted her.
"What?" Yin Xiaoxiao was stunned suddenly, and it took him a long while to react.
"Really?!" She looked at him in surprise and couldn't believe her ears.
"Of course." Pei Haonan looked at her lightly, with an unknown light flashing in his eyes.
However, at this time, Yin Xiaoxiao could no longer pay that much attention.
"Great!" She suddenly rushed over excitedly and hugged his neck, "Thank you, Pei Haonan, thank you!"
Although she didn't know why he was so good all of a sudden, she couldn't care less!
Pei Haonan's body suddenly became stiff.
He remained motionless and allowed her to hold him, and for a moment, he couldn't bear to destroy her joy.
Of course, it's only for this moment.
The next second, he said coldly, "If I said that if you want those little devils to have food and study without having to work, you must give up this wish, are you willing?"
The smile on Yin Xiaoxiao's face suddenly froze.
She slowly let go of him, and then looked into his eyes for a moment, as if trying to find some trace of deception.
Confirming that what he said was true, her heart suddenly sank.
"How is it?" Pei Haonan didn't even give her time to think about it.
"I..." Yin Xiaoxiao opened her mouth, but nothing came out.
Although she wanted to help these children, if she had to give up the hope of her father being cured, she really couldn't do it...
Pei Haonan was not surprised at all by her reaction.
"If you can't always help them unconditionally, then don't continue to create this illusion and let them think that someone will help them even if they don't have to work hard."
He looked at her quietly, "If you can't do it, do you expect anyone else to be able to do it?"
Yin Xiaoxiao lowered her head in silence.
She had to admit that, in a sense, he was right.
However, this does not mean that she will do nothing and let the children passively endure his harsh methods...
Just as she was thinking this, the door to the medical room was pushed open with a bang.
"Sister Xiaoxiao..." The children swarmed in and rushed to her bedside crying, "Sister Xiaoxiao, how are you?"
"It's all our fault. We will never be so impulsive again..."
"Be good, don't cry..." Looking at the children's tearful faces, Yin Xiaoxiao's voice suddenly choked up, "Sister is fine, she was just fainted from the sun, just take a nap and she will be fine..."
She looked up inadvertently and saw two starved children, looking at her with shame...
She smiled and waved to them, "What are you doing standing there? Come over to my sister's side..."
"Sister Xiaoxiao!" The two children threw themselves into her arms, "Don't go hungry with us, we won't be lazy anymore..."
"Really?" Yin Xiaoxiao looked at them happily, "But, the work is very hard..."
"No matter how hard it is, we are not afraid, as long as sister Xiaoxiao you don't faint again..."
"Good, so good..." Yin Xiaoxiao gently touched their heads.
The two children burst into laughter and hugged her tightly...
…
When it was time for class in the afternoon, the children reluctantly left the medical room.
Looking at their small backs, a hint of imperceptible guilt flashed in Yin Xiaoxiao's eyes.
Although she did this entirely for their own good, she still took advantage of their trust and affection for her...
Just as she was thinking this, she suddenly felt a chill running down her spine.
She turned her head sharply and met Pei Haonan's cloudy black eyes.
"Have you expected this result?" Although the change in his eyes was only a moment, it could not escape his eyes.
"How is it possible? I'm not a clever strategist..." Yin Xiaoxiao was shocked and subconsciously denied it.
"Really?" Pei Haonan looked at her coldly, "Why do I think this is just a trick on your part?"
"I... so what!" Knowing that he didn't believe it at all, Yin Xiaoxiao simply stopped pretending, "Isn't this exactly the effect you want to achieve? Anyway, the result is the same. Since I can't change your tough approach, why not let it
They will suffer less torture! Besides..."
Besides, she wasn't pretending to be dizzy, she lost consciousness because she really couldn't hold on!
"So, you are very proud?" Seeing her admitting, Pei Haonan's already cold eyes suddenly filled with anger.
He interrupted her coldly, speaking word by word, approaching the bed step by step.
This damn woman, he was so damn worried about her just now, and even thought he was being too harsh!
He must have had a broken brain today to bring her here!
I thought she would be happy when she saw these brats, but she didn't expect that not only would she not be grateful to him, but she would also resist him for those brats. In the end, he was tricked by her!
"I..." Yin Xiaoxiao looked at his livid face inexplicably, "Are you angry?"
Although she didn't tell him in advance, wasn't this the result he wanted? What kind of anger was he getting?
Besides, she couldn't tell him in advance, it wasn't like she planned to do this from the beginning!
She just saw that she couldn't change his attitude, so she thought of using the trick to get rid of the two children's weakness and laziness...
What happened next was not in her plan at all...
She didn't expect that all the children would skip meals, insist on helping her with her work, and rush to take the punishment for her...
Under such circumstances, she could only go along with the flow and take the punishment for them, letting them know that impulsiveness cannot solve the problem...
From now on, they will work and study more proactively, be more positive, and suffer less punishment...
Could it be that he was angry with her for playing a white face, which indirectly caused him to play a bad face?
Not really, not to mention that he is so strict with the children, and he is a big black face to begin with...
"I'm sorry, I know I was wrong..." In any case, a good girl would not suffer the immediate loss. She decided to apologize first and then say, "You don't remember the faults of villains, don't be so stingy..."
"Am I stingy?" Pei Haonan suddenly leaned down, with a hint of evil in his eyes.
