"Mother...Mother...Mother, please don't abandon me, okay? Don't abandon Yan'er..."

Hua Yanyue lay on the edge of the bed, looking at the person lying on it, choking with sobs, her eyes full of grief, her small body shaking with tears.

“Ahem…”

A cough was heard, and the person on the bed slowly opened her eyes. She looked very beautiful, very similar to Hua Yanyue in terms of brows, but years of wind and frost had left her temples with white hair, and because of her long-term illness, her expression also had a bit of sickly fragility.

"Yan'er, are you digging for herbs in the snow again? Are you cold?"

Ye Nishang looked at the little hands that were red from the cold and couldn't help frowning. She supported herself on the edge of the bed and sat up. She took Yan'er's hand with heartache and rubbed it gently to warm his hands.

Looking at the cracked wounds on the little hands caused by digging herbs for herself, Ye Nishang felt so distressed.

If I had known this earlier, I would not have taught Yan'er medical knowledge.

Yan'er would not get herself covered in wounds every time just to dig herbs for herself.

It's cold in winter again, and my hands, which had just recovered with great difficulty a while ago, are frostbitten again.

"Mother, Yan'er isn't cold." Yan'er said with an effortless smile. Then, he pulled his mother's hand away, turned around, brought the medicine bowl, and said softly, "Mother, Yan'er has prepared the medicine. Please drink it quickly. You'll be fine after drinking it."

As he spoke, he tried hard to hold back the sobs in his words. He was so well-behaved and sensible that it made people feel distressed.

"Okay, okay, thank you for your hard work, Yan'er. Mother will take the medicine." Ye Nishang touched his head and said gently.

As soon as she took a sip, she couldn't help but spit it all out. At this time, a fishy and sweet taste surged in her throat. Ye Nishang was afraid of scaring Yan'er, so she didn't dare to spit it out. She forced herself to swallow the blood back. Unexpectedly, she couldn't help it. She leaned over and lay on the edge of the bed, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Mom, mom, are you okay? Don't scare Yan'er." Yan'er put down the medicine bowl in panic and went to help her. She reached out with trembling hands to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth, and tears fell to the ground one by one.

Ye Nishang's face was pale. She shook her head and smiled to comfort him. Her words were full of tenderness, "Mom is fine, Yan'er, don't be afraid."

She struggled to get up and leaned against the head of the bed. She took out a white handkerchief, wiped the blood off Yan'er's palm, then took out a bracelet from under the pillow and put it on Yan'er's hand.

All I heard was her gentle admonition, "Yan'er, wear this bracelet. Remember, unless one day you have the ability to protect yourself, never take it off. Remember?"

"Yan'er remembers." Yan'er nodded while crying, looking at her mother with eyes full of sorrow, her amber eyes filled with tears, her voice choked with sobs, "Mother...Mother, can...can you please not leave?"

"Yan'er, I'm sorry, mother really can't hold on any longer." Ye Nishang said with a forced smile, her eyes dim, with traces of sadness floating out of them.

She also wanted to grow up with Yan'er, but her body had long been exhausted, and she was only able to survive until now by relying on her belief.

She coughed twice and covered her mouth with a handkerchief. The handkerchief, which had been washed white, was instantly stained with red plum blossoms. "Yan'er, do you remember what mother said?"

"Yan'er, remember." Yan'er nodded with tears in her eyes, wiping her tears with her little hands and saying, "If Yan'er doesn't have the ability to protect herself, you can't let anyone find out that Yan'er is a boy."

Yan'er didn't understand. He was obviously a boy, so why did he have to wear girls' clothes and act like a girl?

But he was a good boy and did whatever his mother told him to do.

I can't let my mother worry.

"Good boy Yan'er." Ye Nishang stroked his head, smiling gently, "Yan'er, don't hate your father. He's a very good man and loves us very much. But mother trusted the wrong person and almost got us killed. It was your father's subordinates who risked their lives to give us a glimmer of hope. So mother had no choice but to take you and hide to prevent the bad guys from finding us. Only in this way can we survive."

"That bad guy knows Yan'er is a boy, and he will definitely find a way to find Yan'er and harm her. That's why mother can only let you pretend to be a girl so that Yan'er can grow up safely. When Yan'er has the ability to protect himself, he can become a boy."

"I'm sure my Yan'er must have looked very beautiful at that time." These words are full of mother's tenderness and love.

"Your father...maybe he thought we were dead, so he never came to look for us."

"Yan'er, don't hate him."

"What a pity... Mother couldn't wait for Yan'er to grow up, nor could she wait for the family to be reunited." Ye Nishang said, looking sad and desolate.

Nine separations.

I really can't wait for you anymore.

And my Yan'er, he is only four years old, he is still so young.

When Ye Nishang thought of this, she looked at the well-behaved and sensible Yan'er in front of her, and her heart was filled with despair.

If she died, Yan'er would suffer so much.

"Yan'er knows, Yan'er doesn't hate daddy. Mother...don't...please." Yan'er cried and shook her head, looking at her pleadingly, her two little hands tightly holding her mother's hands, her amber eyes filled with tears, the tears in her eyes were like pearls, falling one by one, her eyes and nose were red from crying.

"I'm sorry, Yan'er... promise mother that you will live well. Live with mother's share. Mother will accompany you in heaven."

"Remember...if one day you meet your father, tell him that mother...has never regretted anything."

Ye Nishang spoke softly, her voice was particularly gentle. A figure appeared in her mind and a gentle smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
