Lin Ruanruan picked up her phone and staggered to the dressing room, pulling off the silver-white suit jacket and hugging it to draw strength from it.

Large tears fell; she was really in pain.

Given the severity of her symptoms, she should have been hospitalized, but she refused. She really wanted to wake up every day to see her family and experience the kind of friendship she had never had before...

With her vision blurred, she fumbled for her phone screen and called the first contact she had set in her address book.

The call was quickly answered, and Huo Qi's gentle voice came through, "Ruan Ruan? Is there something you need?"

"Brother Huo."

"Hmm," Huo Qi responded, but Lin Ruanruan on the other end of the phone remained silent for a long time.

Huo Qi glanced at everyone in the conference room, made a gesture, and then left.

The remaining people exchanged glances, then Li Qin coughed, "Since President Huo is gone, then it's my turn..."

Meanwhile, Huo Qi had already returned to his office. "Aruan, are you feeling unwell?"

"Hmm... I want to hear you speak." Lin Ruanruan tried to keep her tone steady, but her trembling voice couldn't be hidden.

Huo Qi took a deep breath, signaling himself to calm down. "Is Ruan Ruan at home?"

"Um."

"How about I tell you a story?"

"good."

Huo Qi paused for a moment, and Lin Ruanruan heard him typing something on the keyboard. Then he started telling Lin Ruanruan fairy tales, from "The Little Match Girl" to "The Gardener and the Master".

They then moved from "Snow White" to "One Eye, Two Eyes and Three Eyes".

From Hans Christian Andersen to Grimm's Fairy Tales.

Lin Ruanruan curled up on the dressing room floor, clutching the silver-white suit tightly in her arms. Her stiff body relaxed as the sound flowed slowly in her ears.

Noticing that Huo Qi's voice was a little hoarse, Lin Ruanruan couldn't help but tear up again, tears falling onto the floor and splashing. "Brother Huo, how can there be such a gentle person like you?"

Huo Qi's voice was slightly hoarse, but his tone remained gentle, "Baby, I'm only being gentle with you, and you deserve it."

"Do you really exist? Are you really not just a figment of my imagination?"

"I've always been here, Aruan." Huo Qi's eyes were filled with tenderness. "Now that you're tired, let's take a nap, okay?"

Lin Ruanruan's eyes began to close. "Will you still be here after I wake up?"

"Yes, trust me, okay?" Huo Qi said gently, and when he found that there was no response from the other end, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

He then leaned back in his chair, flicked his hair with one hand, stared blankly for a while, and looked out the window at the sky dyed red by the sunset, a smile playing on his lips.

The person his little rabbit trusts most is himself.

This discovery made Huo Qi's eyes sparkle, and he took out his phone, which was running low on battery, and booked a flight.

...

The dimly lit bedroom door was opened, and a tall figure appeared in Lin Ruanruan's room. He paused for a moment before walking towards the dressing room.

As soon as I opened the door to the changing room, I saw Lin Ruanruan curled up like a little animal.

The tall man paused for a moment, then carefully crouched down in the locker room. The man was Lin Tianba, who had rushed back from the company after receiving Huo Qi's message.

The tall man gently lifted his daughter from the ground, as if he were holding some rare treasure.

Lin Tianba's eyes reddened, and he gently put Lin Ruanruan into the quilt and tucked her in. Then he quietly left the room.

As soon as I stepped outside, I saw Li Shuzhen rushing back in a hurry. She had just been inspecting the factory area in the county town and rushed back after seeing the text message Huo Qi sent her.

How is Ruan Ruan now?

Lin Tianba stepped forward and hugged Li Shuzhen tightly, saying, "She's asleep."

Li Shuzhen breathed a sigh of relief, and then she noticed that Lin Tianba was crying. This rough man, who was nearly two meters tall, was actually shedding tears like a child.

“Honey, how pitiful our daughter is… She’s had a blood clot in her head since she was little and often had headaches. Now that the blood clot has finally gone away, she’s developed such a serious illness.”

"How much pain she must be in, and I, as her father, can't even share her suffering..."

Li Shuzhen hugged Lin Tianba's waist and patted her husband's back, saying, "It will be alright, we're strong."

“Our Ruan Ruan is so lucky, and her good fortune is yet to come, don’t you think?”

Lin Tianba swept Li Shuzhen up in his arms and wiped his tears on her clothes.

Li Shuzhen patted Lin Tianba's head helplessly to comfort him; her husband was such a crybaby.

"We have to trust Ruanruan. If she cries today, she can't cry tomorrow. Don't let Ruanruan dislike you as her father."

...

The first rays of dawn pierced through the clouds, casting a soft light on the sleeping city. Lin Ruanruan opened her eyes on time, staring blankly at the dimly lit bedroom.

Then he got up, walked to the window, and drew back the curtains, letting the sunlight fill the entire room.

A flock of chirping birds on the branches outside the window were startled and flapped their wings to take flight. Looking at the scenery outside the window, Lin Ruanruan couldn't help but widen her eyes.

Who else could it be but Huo Qi standing under the streetlights outside?!

Huo Qi immediately noticed Lin Ruanruan, who had opened the window on the second floor, and waved to her with a smile.

Stunned by the sudden surprise, Lin Ruanruan quickly turned around, went downstairs and out the door. She ran like she was leaving school and quickly ran to Huo Qi.

Lin Ruanruan stared intently at Huo Qi, seemingly trying to determine whether the person before her was genuine or not. Huo Qi looked at Lin Ruanruan with a smile in his eyes, and he stepped forward to pull her into his arms.

"I promised you, I'll be there when you wake up."

Tears welled up in Lin Ruanruan's eyes and she mustered her courage to hug Huo Qi back, "How... how can there be such a gentle person like you..."

Huo Qi looked like he had rushed back overnight; the dark circles under his eyes were so obvious that Lin Ruanruan was heartbroken.

Seeing Lin Ruanruan crying so hard, Huo Qi could only gently coax her, noticing that the people jogging around them were looking at them strangely.

He carried Lin Ruanruan directly into his car. His little rabbit was shy and would definitely be embarrassed later.

Huo Qi patted Lin Ruanruan's back and said, "Is our Ruanruan made of water? She cries so easily."

With Huo Qi's comfort, Lin Ruanruan finally managed to stop her tears. After calming down, she realized that her posture with Huo Qi was a bit too intimate.

This discovery made Lin Ruanruan blush. She quickly sat up straight, somewhat unable to look at Huo Qi.

My heart was beating extremely fast.

The car was cramped, and an ambiguous atmosphere began to rise.

Although Huo Qi had his own ideas, he was not a beast.

He reached out and ruffled Lin Ruanruan's hair, satisfied with the gesture, and said, "Alright, let's go downstairs, I'm starving."
