4540 The Other Side 509
Little Yichen could clearly see the fear in Baby Chu’s eyes and extended his hand. “Come, hold my hand.”
Baby Chu blinked at him mischievously through the mask and held his hand.
Perhaps, to Baby Chu, the flu was just an ordinary cold, it was not that serious. However, Little Yichen was deeply aware of what he and the other boy were facing at the same time.
It was a race for survival. If they did not pass this test, perhaps they would be doomed.
He had heard from the doctor that although he was in good physical condition and had rarely fallen ill since he was young, this, Ironically, meant there were very few antibodies produced in his body. As a result, illnesses would come like a landslide when they strike.
He did not have much immunity to fight the influenza virus, so he succumbed.
The two children were sent to the quarantine zone. Yun Shishi was in a daze all day and night and had no idea when Little Yichen would be back.
However, at the same time, there was good news.
Yueyao’s condition was slowly improving. If things went smoothly within the week, she should be able to be discharged from the hospital.
Youyou, on the other hand, had to be under observation for a while longer.
During this period of time, Yun Shishi was invited by the company to perform a charity song.
It was a song about the “Angel in White”. It was to inspire front-line medical staff and calm the sense of panic among the population.
Suppressing her worry, she went to the recording studio to record the demo.
…
The ward seemed quiet after Little Yichen and Baby Chu were sent to the quarantine zone.
Gu Jinglian had been staying in the ward for the past few days. With his son gone, Mu Yazhe could not take care of Yueyao and Youyou alone. In addition, Jing Qi had fallen ill as well, hence Gu Jinglian helped take care of Jing Yang.
Jing Yang was especially afraid of Gu Jinglian.
There is a kind of people who have a daunting aura, despite how good-looking they are.
Gu Jinglian was such a man.
No matter how nonchalant and “approachable” he tried to appear, it was impossible to hide his sharp edge.
Every time the man helped the boy clean his face, Jing Yang would remain as still as a wooden puppet.
Youyou was speechless. Was this man really that scary? Jing Yang looked petrified.
…
For a few days, there was no news of Baby Chu and Little Yichen. It was unknown if their condition had improved or worsened.
Mu Yazhe appeared calm, but he was actually more worried than anyone else.
Little Yichen used to be the child that gave them the least worries, but now, everyone was worried sick for him.
Youyou said, “Actually, we seem to have neglected Little Yichen. Although he’s my elder brother, he’s not much older than me. He was born only an hour or two earlier than me, but he bears more responsibility than anyone else.”
As the saying goes, children who cry are given candies.
However, Little Yichen was too stingy with his tears.
Perhaps, Mu Yazhe had put him through special education since he was young. He had been thrown into the special training camp and had developed a firm and unyielding character. No matter how aggrieved he was, he would not shed tears easily.
As an elder brother to Youyou, he took care of the boy just like how his father and mother took care of him. He was extremely diligent.
But deep within Yun Shishi’s heart, among the three children, it was impossible to always be perfectly fair.
