Muxi cried and said, "Gong Yu, why does Niannian suffer from this disease at such an early age? Why?"
Gong Yu took her in his arms and felt a sudden pain in his heart. At present, the fragile girl was just like the hedgehog with all its thorns pulling out. It"s body was dripping with blood and people could not bear to touch it. At this moment, he wanted her to behave like before and stab him with her thorns, which made him feel better.
Gong Yu comforted her in a low voice, "Murong Ye said that the doctor had not confirmed the diagnosis, right? Don"t worry, maybe the final diagnosis is not so serious and it"s just a false alarm! Doctors love to scare people, and they must be scaring you too. They usually tell you the worst result of the incident, but in fact, it is not that serious."
Yun Muxi raised his eyes, and her big eyes were filled with hope. She looked at Gong Yu and said, "Really? The doctor just lied to me, didn"t he? Niannian just broke her leg, and it is not the d.a.m.n plastic anemia at all."
Gong Yu nodded gently. He could not bear to disappoint Yun Muxi, but he also hoped that all of this was a false alarm.
Yun Muxi suddenly chuckled, which was even more frightening. She seemed to be possessed and kept saying, "Great, the doctor just lied to me! They are just scaring me, Niannian will never get this kind of disease, never..."
Gong Yu took Yun Muxi into his arms once again, holding her tightly and caressing her back lovingly.
"Xiao Xi, don"t cry, Niannian will be worried. You have to be strong and you are the strongest backing of her."
Yun Muxi nodded and wiped her tears with the back of her hand, but it seemed that her tears could not be controlled. She wiped her eyes desperately, and eventually her eyes became red and swollen but her tears kept spilling out.
Looking at her, Gong Yu was more distressed, but he could do nothing. Murong Ye walked behind them and looked at Yun Muxi wiping away tears desperately. He pinched his eyebrows and said coldly, "I called you to comfort Xiao Xi. Why did you make her cry harder?"
Yun Muxi sobbed and said, "I just can"t control it. Tears can"t be wiped. I"m useless. I can do nothing well."
Gong Yu comforted her softly and said, "Xiao Xi, don"t say that and you make me feel even worse. Let"s stop crying and go wash your faces and visit Niannian together."
Yun Muxi nodded and went to the bathroom to wash her face before entering the ward with Gong Yu and Murong Ye.
Niannian sat on the sickbed and looked out of the window. She was not naive as a three-year-old child, but more like a young man full of sadness, which made people more worried.
Yun Muxi took a deep breath, got herself up and smiled and walked to the bedside of Niannian. She said softly, "Niannian, guess who is coming to see you?"
Niannian turned her head and they saw a bright smile on her face, which was completely different from the sad child they saw before. She said sweetly, "Daddy Yu, there you are! I miss you so much!"
Gong Yu went up to her and rubbed her hair and sat down beside the hospital bed, "I also missed you."
"Daddy Yu, did you hurt? Did you leave any scars?"
"Well, it"s all right. I had a small scar, but it is in the hair, so it doesn"t matter."
"That sounds better. Daddy Yu is so handsome. If you have scars, you will not be so handsome."
"If I"m not handsome, will you still like me?"
Niannian pretended to think, with her head to one side, holding her small chin. She looked at Gong Yu and did not speak for a long time.
Gong Yu pretended to have been hurt and said, "Ah? Why are you thinking for so long? I"m going to be sad. If I"m not handsome, you"re gonna hate me."
Niannian immediately laughed, her bright smile and laughter were like the bell, sweeping away all the haze and the joy infected the whole ward.
She grabbed Gong Yu"s neck and rubbed her little head against his chest in a pettish way, "Of course I like you. No matter how ugly the scar is, you are the most handsome man in my eyes and I will like you forever."
The cheerful girl made their hearts ache. Niannian was so considerate. Why G.o.d let her suffer from illness and pain?
After that, Niannian began to tell Gong Yu happily about her princess room in Murong"s house, the Disney princesses prepared for her by Murong Qingtian, and her visit to the island these days. She saw the blue sea, the golden sand beach, the flying seagulls, and the small seash.e.l.ls by the sea...
The story was told by her with rapture. Gong Yu chuckled from time to time or interacted with her. Yun Muxi and Murong Ye looked at them with their own worries.
At some point, Niannian seemed to become tired again. Relying on Gong Yu"s arms, she was as meek as a little cat. The little angel who had been so alive suddenly turned into a lazy cat. Her voice became smaller and smaller and she gradually fell asleep.
Gong Yu gently laid down her little body and tucked her in. Looking at the quiet little face, his heart suddenly began to ache.
Looking at Niannian, Yun Muxi suddenly had an unlucky premonition. Niannian never slept like this before. The terrible word hovered over her mind once again and she did not dare to continue thinking about it. Instead, she said softly to Gong Yu, "Thank you. Niannian is very happy."
Gong Yu said calmly, "Xiao Xi, you go back to rest, your face is very poor and I will take care of Niannian tonight."
Yun Muxi shook her head and said, "How can I do that? Niannian will definitely want to find me when she wakes up. Besides, I"ll be worried if I go back. I"d better stay here."
Murong Ye also noticed that her face was not good, and suggested, "Well, I"ll be here tonight. Gong Yu, you send Xiao Xi back and you have to watch her fall asleep."
Gong Yu nodded, got up and took Yun Muxi to go outside the room. Yun Muxi obstinately refused to leave and said, "No! I"m staying with Niannian and I"m not going anywhere."
Murong Ye hissed at her with a cold voice, "Xiao Xi, don"t be capricious. Nianian is good now, but you may be ill. Please be good and go home with Gong Yu."
Yun Muxi was about to open her mouth and say something when Gong Yu took her and coaxed her in a low voice, "Be good and listen! We can go back and pack some clothes and toy and story books and we"ll come back tomorrow morning."
Yun Muxi still hesitated. But Gong Yu did not give her any chance to refute and dragged her away.
Looking at the figure of Yun Muxi and Gong Yu leaving the ward, his eyes became narrow and deep and then his eyes turned back to Niannian in the bed.
Gong Yu took Yun Muxi all the way to the parking lot and directly opened the car door to plug her in.
Yun Muxi still looked at the hospital building with some worries and found the faint light in the ward window of Niannian. Gong Yu got into the car and said softly, "Xiao Xi, it will be all right. Don"t worry too much and you have to relax yourself first."
Yun Muxi nodded, leaning wearily against the back of the chair, with her head resting on the cold gla.s.s window. The cold touch on the window actually made her calm down.
Murong Ye sent someone to clean the room of Yun Muxi every night. She had not come back for many days but the room was still very clean.
Everything in front of her was familiar, but it seemed that hundreds of years had pa.s.sed. The horrible images flashed through her mind again, making her want to escape. She just turned around and ran into Gong Yu"s arms.
Murong Ye told Gong Yu directly about the situation of Yun Muxi, so he soon discovered something strange about her, "If you don"t want to be here, go to my house tonight." He said softly, holding her in his arms.
"Good!" Yun Muxi agreed directly without any hesitation, which actually made Gong Yu surprised for a while. It turned out that Murong Ye was right. The psychological shadow on her was indeed very heavy.
Gong Yu gently rubbed Yun Muxi"s hair and took her home. As soon as she entered the door, the Little Cutie came to welcome her like the hostess returning home. Yun Muxi felt a little guilty when she saw the Little Cutie. These days, she had completely forgotten him. Fortunately, Gong Yu was taking care of him.
Gong Yu made the bed for Yun Muxi and warmed up a gla.s.s of milk considerately, "Go to bed early and we have to go to the hospital early tomorrow morning."
Yun Muxi obediently walked into the bedroom and looked at everything Gong Yu had prepared for her. She felt warm and thought that she was lucky. There were so many people who loved her and spoiled her. Even if G.o.d really mistreated her, there were still so many people who were really good to her. Therefore, she must cheer up and could not let them worry about her.
Yun Muxi took off her coat and got into the soft quilt. Gong Yu picked up the milk and handed it to her and said, "A gla.s.s of milk will make you sleep better."
Yun Muxi took the milk obediently and drank a cup of hot milk. Her body seemed to have warmed up a lot.
Then Gong Yu helped her to lie down and tuck the quilt and gently stroked her hair. A series of gentle actions reminded her of the past days. At that time, Gong Yu also treated her like this, holding her in the palm of his hand. She was touched when thinking of this.
Gong Yu stroked her eyes and said, "Go to sleep, baby."
Then he gently kissed her forehead. The touch was like a dragonfly touching the surface of water, but it still made ripples in her heart.
Gong Yu got up and turned off the bedside lamp. He turned around and was about to leave while Yun Muxi grabbed him by his sleeve and said sheepishly, "Gong Yu, can you wait for me to sleep?"
Gong Yu turned his head, his smile made her heart race. He took off his shoes, lay down beside her, grabbed her little head, and let her find a comfortable position in his arms, stroking her back gently.
All she smelled was the familiar faint gra.s.s fragrance.Her desire to sleep was stronger. These days, it was rare to sleep safely without nightmare. Tonight, she could only feel a warm wall tightly against her, making her feel at ease.
The night seemed calm and serene. When the night dispersed and the warm sunshine poured in early morning, all the peace seemed to have come to an end...
