Chapter 553 The boy is my white moonlight (11)

Chu Xu's fourteenth birthday was the most memorable.

It was not because of anything else, but because of Xu Shiyi's high fever. It was also because of Xu Shiyi's high fever that everyone who came to Chu Xu's birthday party did not have a good night.

Ying Xinxin and Ying Haohao both felt a little unlucky. They had come here happily, but in the end they could not have a normal dinner because of an orphan girl. The two of them suddenly united tonight and slept in the same room.

Old Mrs. Chu did not eat dinner and went back to her room. She was praying for Shiyi the whole time.

She didn't know if it was her illusion or something else, but she always felt that after Xu Shiyi came to her house, Chu Xu had been healthy and his personality had become much gentler than before.

Li Ling, who slept back in the room where she lived alone three years ago, had a lot of feelings. The furnishings in the room did not change much, or it should be said that they did not change at all. However, this room no longer belonged to her alone.

She carefully touched the things that once belonged to her in the room, and recalled the kindness of her brother to her at that time, and felt quite sad. But everything can't go back.

Shi Yi woke up at 5:07 in the morning.

When she woke up, she deliberately looked at the clock in the ward, so she remembered the time very clearly.

She moved her hand, and something pricked her hand and hurt her. She looked up and saw a thin needle tube, and then a big IV bottle, the medicine in the IV bottle was half empty.

Chu Xu was lying in front of her bed, sleeping soundly. He had just fallen asleep.

When he was sent to the hospital, the doctor took Xu Shiyi's temperature and it was already 42 °. The doctor said that if he continued to have a fever for a while and no one noticed, he might have meningitis and become a fool. The doctor prescribed several bottles of medicine, but there were not enough nurses in the hospital, so the family members could only watch over and change the IV bottles by themselves. So he waited for her to infuse the fluid all night, and immediately replaced it with another bottle after one bottle was finished. He

had just subsided the fever, and he didn't have much strength in his body. One hand was stuck with a needle and couldn't move. Shi Yi could only cover him with the corner of the quilt with difficulty with the other hand. In the empty ward, her clear sigh lingered for a long time. Chu's mother, who had just returned from the hall, stopped and leaned against the door quietly, with a complicated mood.

She still remembered the night when Xu Shiyi first came to Chu's house, the child timidly said that he would live in the utility room. Three years passed in a blink of an eye, and the child grew up by three years, but he was still "afraid of things" and "afraid of trouble" as when he first came, and he was still being distant with them.

If the family hadn't been paying attention to this high fever, maybe it would be like this... She couldn't imagine such a result.

She actually liked this child very much. Because this child is "dutiful", never greedy or coveting other people's things. Take the room where she sleeps for example, everything in the room is the same as when Li Ling was there, basically unchanged. But after she experienced this high fever, Chu's mother didn't think that "dutiful" was a good advantage. She had to find a way to make the relationship between this child and Chu Xu better.

She was still a little hesitant about whether to let the two children go to the same high school, but she decided at this moment.

Chu Xu opened his eyes, his heart was in a panic. He remembered clearly that the doctor had told him to change the drip for Xu Shiyi. He didn't know how long he had slept like this. Would Xu Shiyi's blood have already returned... or even...

He hurriedly raised his eyes to look for the girl's figure. After seeing her peaceful sleeping face, his throbbing heart finally calmed down.

"Go and get Shiyi discharged from the hospital." Chu's mother, who appeared at the door, urged him softly.

"She hasn't woken up yet?" Chu Xu pointed at the girl on the bed, but didn't dare to raise his voice for fear of waking her up.

"The drip will be finished soon." Chu's mother pointed to the drip that still had a small part left, and whispered, "The doctor said that there will be no problem after the fever subsides. Let him go home and rest."

Chu Xu realized belatedly and remembered the doctor's instructions last night, so he got up and rushed out.

"Shiyi, are you awake?" Chu's mother held her thin wrist.

This child really made her feel distressed. After three years at home, she hasn't gained any weight and still looks thin and weak. Now her face is sallow because of the illness, which makes her look even more pitiful.

"Auntie." Shi Yi slowly opened her eyes. Unlike her sick face, her eyes were as clear as a spring in the mountains. Mother Chu was stunned. After taking several breaths, she asked with concern: "Are you feeling better?"

"Yeah." Shi Yi nodded gently. She had not slept much since she woke up. When Mother Chu and Chu Xu talked, she was fully conscious.

"Then we will prepare to go home." The doctor behind Mother Chu came over and pulled out the needle from Shi Yi's hand. After skillfully applying a band-aid to stop the bleeding, he helped her up.

"I'm so sorry." Shi Yi lowered her eyes and prepared to put on her shoes, but the bed was still too high for her, who was only ten years old. Her feet could not touch the ground at all.

"I'll help you." Mother Chu hugged her and felt the girl in her arms stiffen for a moment and then soften.

"Thank you." Shi Yi did not show off. At this time, showing off was not a good choice.

She sat quietly on the bed, watching the pampered Mother Chu put on her shoes for her and carried her down from the bed.

When her feet landed on the ground, Shi Yi felt relieved.

"Can you walk?" Mother Chu held her shoulders. She felt that she was not so resistant to her closeness, and she felt happy.

"You can walk." Shi Yi held the edge of the bed and tried to walk a few steps. She didn't feel any pain. She turned her head and looked at her with a big smile.

Mother Chu's pupils dilated instantly, and a warm current hit the softest part of her heart.

She actually always wanted to have a daughter, but after giving birth to Chu Xu, she couldn't get pregnant with a second child no matter what. She took medicine and saw famous doctors, but it didn't work, so she slowly gave up.

"Auntie, I will be very good in the future and won't get sick again."

Hearing the girl say this, she knew that the girl misunderstood that she was angry. She held Shi Yi's shoulders and said gently, "No need."

"No need, be very good." Chu's mother touched her fleshless face, and the pain in her eyes was about to overflow. "When you entered the Chu family, we raised you as our own child. Three years have passed, and you are still afraid of causing trouble to us. In fact, there is no need. From now on, you will treat Chu Xu as your brother, me as your mother, and Chu Xu's father as your father."

Fearing that she would put pressure on the child, she also added a sentence especially considerately, "If you don't mind."

The girl lowered her head little by little.
