4570 The Other Side 539
As she spoke, Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ laughed at herself. “We only realize how precious a person is when we’re on the verge of losing them. Thinking back, Little Yichen has always been very sensible. That day, when he was critically ill, I waited outside the door and kept recalling the past. I felt too much indebted to him.”
“There will be plenty of opportunities to make it up to him in the future.”
“I’m only afraid that we won’t have the chance…”
“Don’t say self-discouraging things like that.” Mu Yazhe paused for a moment before quickly consoling her. “The vaccine is almost ready. Don’t think too much and stop letting your imagination run wild. Go to bed early!”
!!
“Uh huh!” She closed her eyes and rested her head against his chest, indulging in a rare moment of restful sleep.
…
The next day, the sun shone brightly. The gloomy weather of the past days finally came to an end.
The sun was bright and the weather was fine. When Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ woke up and drew open the curtains, the warm sunlight finally dispelled some of the gloominess in her heart. She got up early in the morning and busied herself in the kitchen. In addition to the cake, she wanted to prepare some dishes.
Mu Yazhe applied for leave and together with his wife, brought the cake to the hospital.
Gu Jinglian and Chu He were confused to see them carrying the cake.
“Whose birthday is it?”
Youyou immediately replied, “It’s Mommy’s birthday! I do remember that!”
Yueyao also beamed with joy. The atmosphere in the hospital was oppressive, the occasion of her birthday seemed to add some cheer!
“Since we’re celebrating my birthday in the hospital this year, it’s not going to be a grand affair!”
Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ placed the cake on the table and laid down the dishes that she had prepared.
Chu He was overjoyed. “It would be even better if there was wine. We could have a few drinks.”
Mu Yazhe arched his brow and said, “Yes, there is!” He proffered a bottle of champagne from a carrier bag, and even brought goblets with him. Even in the hospital, he would not let the birthday celebration lack pomp and circ.u.mstance.
Yueyao leaned sprawled on the table and looked at the cake, her mouth watering. Suddenly, she asked, “What about… Little Yichen? Can he have some birthday cake?”
“Cut a slice for him, we can send it into the quarantine zone after we’re done eating.”
“Uh huh!” Yueyao lowered her eyes in disappointment.
Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ immediately guessed what the girl was thinking and squatted down to gently scratch her nose.
“Yueyao, this won’t do. If the cake is sent in, we won’t be able to eat it. The quarantine area is a sterile area. There are germs outside, so Big Brother can’t come out and celebrate with us.”
“Uh huh…” Yueyao said, “Then I’ll eat less and save more for Big Brother.”
“Yueyao, you’re a good girl. You don’t have to especially set it aside for him. The cake is huge. Big Brother can’t eat too much right now. Otherwise, he might throw up and that’s not good.”
If Little Yichen vomited, any flow-back into the trachea could put him in danger. Therefore, he was now mainly on liquid food. He could only eat a tiny bit of the cake. A few bites was already impressive.
Yueyao nodded sensibly. “Then I’ll wish Mommy a happy birthday on behalf of Big Brother!”
Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ was moved and gave the girl a kiss.
Youyou walked over and gave his mother a big hug. “Mommy! Happy birthday! Wis.h.i.+ng you forever young!”
“Thank you, Youyou.” Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ gave Youyou a kiss as well.
Gu Jinglian and Chu He also gave her good wishes.
Because of this situation, the relations.h.i.+p between the two families had vastly improved. Especially between Mu Yazhe and Gu Jinglian, they had even begun teasing each other.
Chu He and Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ had in common the children to attend to. Most of the time they were in each other’s company and that helped to improve their relations.h.i.+p. They found many common things to chat about.
