Qiao Jiusheng smiled. “Okay.”
She looked at Fang Zicheng again.
Fang Zicheng held her hand under Qiao Jiusheng’s encouraging gaze.
He stared at Qiao Jiusheng’s weak face and thought for a while before saying, “I like my sister, and I like you too. Nothing can happen to you guys.”
Qiao Jiusheng was slightly stunned.
The next second, the smile on her face deepened. She took her hand out of the children’s palms and rubbed the heads of the two babies. “I like you too. Mom and Sister will be fine!”
Fang Zicheng curled his lips slightly as if he was smiling. When Qiao Jiusheng looked again, the smile was gone.
What a reserved little fellow.
“We’re going to the East Lake to play today. When we come back, we’ll come to the hospital to see you.” Fang Zikai touched Qiao Jiusheng’s stomach gently through the blanket. He leaned his head close to Qiao Jiusheng’s stomach and whispered, as if he was afraid of disturbing the butterflies that stopped on the petals. He said softly to the little sister in his stomach, “Sister, you have to be good and strong. When Brother comes back, I’ll bring you a gift.”
Qiao Jiusheng looked at the small black head on her stomach and her heart melted.
Fang Yusheng washed his face at the washstand at the entrance of the toilet. When he heard the commotion, he took a towel and turned around to look at the scene on the bed. Coincidentally, his gaze met Qiao Jiusheng’s. The happiness in the woman’s eyes was so intense that it could infect others.
Fang Yusheng was stunned. A faint smile appeared on his handsome face.
Life and death were bound by fate. He would grow old with her.
At this second, this gentle sentence suddenly popped up in Fang Yusheng’s mind. He was willing to hold her hand and spend the rest of his life with her, surrounded by a few children. Such a day was so beautiful that he was afraid that it was a dream and he would wake up.
Fang Yusheng threw the towel into the basin.
He reached out and tried to grab a ray of sunlight.
This was not a dream. There was sunlight in the dream, but there was no warmth.
Fang Zicheng and the rest only stayed in the ward for around ten minutes before they had to leave for school to gather with the other students to go to the East Lake. Once they left, only Aunt Jin and Qiao Jiusheng were left in the ward. Aunt Jin packed all the things she needed to take away. After putting them away, she asked Qiao Jiusheng if there was anything she wanted to eat. She would go back and make it in the afternoon to get the chauffeur to send it over.
Qiao Jiusheng did not want to eat anything for the time being, so she asked Aunt Jin to go back.
Before ten o’clock, Ji Qing brought her son to the hospital. Seeing that they were here so early, Qiao Jiusheng was quite surprised. She was lying on the bed and could not move. Fang Yusheng was the one who moved the chair for Ji Qing. He poured a cup of tea for Ji Qing. Seeing Qiao Qian looking at him anxiously, he teased him. “If you don’t call me uncle, I won’t give you a coconut.”
Knowing that Qiao Qian was coming today, Fang Yusheng specially asked the bodyguard to buy a few coconuts.
Qiao Qian especially liked coconut.
Upon hearing this, he blinked his bright eyes and said to Fang Yusheng, “My handsome uncle, you and my aunt are really compatible. I wish you and my aunt a long life together. I wish you good fortune and longevity…” This little fellow used all the good words he could remember on Qiao Jiusheng and Fang Yusheng.
Fang Yusheng was amused.
“Take it, take it. Your mouth is sweet, as if you drank honey.” Fang Yusheng smiled until his eyes curved. He was very childish. He felt that Qiao Qian’s words had really touched his heart.
Qiao Qian chuckled and drank the coconut.
Seeing that her son was finally willing to be quiet, Ji Qing smiled at Qiao Jiusheng and said, “This is the clown at home.”
“Not bad.” At the thought of her two children, Qiao Jiusheng also said, “Our Kai Kai is even more mischievous than An An. As for Iron Egg…” At the mention of Iron Egg, Qiao Jiusheng’s worried expression disappeared and she revealed a rare smile.
Seeing this, Ji Qing thought of a possibility and could not help but be happy. “Has your Iron Egg’s condition improved?”
Qiao Jiusheng nodded.
Fang Yusheng explained at the side, “He’s better than before. I heard from my mother that something happened to Ah Sheng last night. On the way to the hospital, Cheng Cheng kept holding his heart. He said that he felt terrible there.”
Fang Yusheng’s eyes were smiling. He said, “Our Cheng Cheng’s health is great. He doesn’t have heart disease. He feels terrible and his heart aches for Mom and Sister.”
Ji Qing’s eyes lit up.
“Perhaps his condition can really be cured.” She rarely saw patients with emotional disorders. She had met a similar person a few years ago. That person had no desires and did not know what was the point of living. The last time he came to see Ji Qing, he said something to him. He said, “I think I was born cursed. It’s so meaningless to be born alone without experiencing the five emotions and six desires.”
That was the last time Ji Qing saw him.
Later on, about half a year later, she received news that the person was already dead. She specially went to ask the person’s family and found out that the patient had died on the way home from work. That day, when he got off work and was waiting for the green light, for some reason, he actually ran a red light and was killed by a car.
From the surveillance cameras, they could see that the patient’s footsteps were calm as he ran the red light. He carried a briefcase and wore a suit and tie, as if he was going to an important party. He welcomed death with his neatest look.
Therefore, when she found out that Fang Zicheng had emotional disorders, Ji Qing felt uneasy.
In the past few years, she had been paying attention to Fang Zicheng’s condition. After knowing that Fang Zicheng’s condition had improved, Ji Qing was really relieved. “You have to be patient. Since he knows that his heart hurts, I believe that one day, he will also know what sadness, sorrow, joy, and love are.”
“Yes.”
…
On the school bus, the children were all wearing seatbelts. Some were dozing off, some were singing, and some were talking to others. Fang Zikai sat beside Fang Zicheng. He was very familiar with the people around him. He took advantage of the situation and took a biscuit from the snack bag of the child in front of him and a potato chip from the classmate next door.
In short, he was especially happy.
Fang Zicheng lowered his head to read. He was so quiet that he did not seem like a child at this age.
After a while, the teacher started to organize everyone to sing together. When they took a long-distance car on a group trip, everyone in the car seemed to like to sing. Fang Zicheng heard everyone singing two tigers. His lips moved, but he could not sing no matter what.
When they arrived at their destination, the driver parked the car and a group of children got out chattering. The teacher counted the number of people and brought them to check their tickets with another teacher. The kindergarten children took the student passageway, and their tickets were with the teacher.
