Ye Qingqing fumbled around for a long time but couldn't find the flush button. She clearly remembered that there was a handle on the side, and that she could just slide it down to flush, but she couldn't find it no matter how hard she tried.

The more anxious you are, the less likely you are to find it, and time slowly passes.

Lu Mo waited for a while but didn't hear any movement from Ye Qingqing, and he couldn't help but panic, "Qingqing?"

"I'm... I'm done, but I can't find the flush switch..." Ye Qingqing was both embarrassed and anxious, her hands groping frantically, but to no avail.

Lu Mo strode in, pressed a button next to Ye Qingqing's hand, and water immediately gushed out. Seeing the sadness in Ye Qingqing's eyes, he comforted her, "The switch is a bit off. Go back to sleep!"

"Um."

Ye Qingqing nodded, as obedient as a doll. Lu Mo washed her hands, dried them, and led her back to the room. After settling her down to sleep, he moved Ye Tong's bed over.

Ye Tong had a single bed, which Lu Mo moved over easily. Hearing the clattering noise, Ye Qingqing asked curiously, "What are you moving?"

“I’ll sleep here. Call me if you need anything.”

Lu Mo arranged the bed right next to Ye Qingqing's bed, within arm's reach, so that he could react quickly if anything happened in the middle of the night.

A warm feeling welled up in Ye Qingqing's heart, because the fear and anxiety of not being able to see, as well as the grievances... all disappeared.

As long as Lu Mo is with her, she is fearless even if the sky falls and the earth cracks!

"I'm right here, don't be afraid, go to sleep!"

Lu Mo reached out and took Ye Qingqing's hand.

"Okay, goodnight."

"Good night!"

Ye Qingqing slowly fell asleep. Lu Mo wanted to pull his hand away, but Ye Qingqing used it as a pillow, resting it under her face and rubbing it against him from time to time. Lu Mo couldn't bear to pull it away, so he let her use it as a pillow and fell asleep himself.

As dawn broke, the chirping of birds outside the window woke Lu Mo. Ye Qingqing was still fast asleep, a sweet smile playing on her lips; she must have been having a wonderful dream!

Lu Mo gently withdrew his hand, tucked Ye Qingqing's pants in, and then folded his own pants neatly on the bed. Although it was just an ordinary quilt, he folded it into a square shape with sharp corners.

Xiao Mei opened her eyes and glanced at him, then looked at Ye Qingqing on the bed. After hesitating for a moment, she continued to lie on her stomach.

It wants to protect its owner!

It's not a greedy dog.

Hmph... It would be even better if the male master could bring up the meat bones. He could gnaw on the meat bones while guarding his master, killing two birds with one stone!

Xiao Mei looked at Lu Mo expectantly, hoping that her master was smart enough to understand her feelings.

"I'll go cook you some meat bones. You keep a close eye on your master," Lu Mo said softly.

"Waaaaah..."

Xiao Mei's eyes sparkled as she nodded vigorously.

Lu Mo couldn't help but laugh. The greedy puppy was just like its owner. It really was true that pets resemble their owners!

After going downstairs, he first called home. Given Ye Qingqing's current condition, he would definitely have to take care of her personally. The old lady and Gu Nianci were both getting old, and it would be a blessing if they could take care of themselves.

Sang Huaiyuan and Sun Qiuyun were too busy with official duties to even take care of the old lady, let alone Ye Qingqing.

Furthermore, Ye Qingqing's condition isn't something that will only last a day or two; it's unclear how long it will take. Prolonged illness tests the filial piety of even the most devoted children, and besides, Sun Qiuyun isn't the girl's biological mother, so she has no obligation to care for her.

As for nannies and caregivers, Lu Mo was even more worried. After thinking it over, he decided that he was the most suitable.
