"All done." Mo Niannian finished applying the medicine to Xuan Mingyu and put a piece of gauze to stop the bleeding on his shoulder.

Xian Mingyu held her hand and looked at her earnestly, "Niannian, what happened to you on the way here? Did you remember something?"

Mo Niannian didn't know how to tell Xian Mingyu for a moment.

Her mind was also in a state of confusion, making it difficult to make a judgment.

"Maybe, I was thinking about something... A scene kept replaying in my mind, a very ambiguous scene: a bed, a man whose face I couldn't see pinning me down, torturing me cruelly. I saw myself crying, crying desperately, and he was trying to strangle me with his hands... Then I suddenly saw your face, and I was terrified." Mo Niannian's body trembled again as she thought about the image in her mind.

She wasn't sure who the man was, because Xuan Mingyu's face appeared suddenly, and it seemed that he wasn't the same person as the man who had bullied her in bed. Mo Niannian wondered if he was the man who caused her to get pregnant with Youyou.

He tortured her, even pinching her with his hands...

Xuan Mingyu stared blankly at his hands. He had done the same thing to her before.

At that time, their relationship wasn't very good, and she was entangled with Ji Ziqian. He was angry and that's why he hurt her time and time again...

Unexpectedly, she encountered something similar during the four years she was away from him.

How scared and helpless she must feel without him by her side...

It was his fault for not protecting her, which allowed her to be bullied and humiliated.

He deserves to die!

"Niannian, will you... hate me?"

"Why do you say that? What...did you do to me?"

"If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have encountered those things, and you wouldn't have given birth to Youyou in such a confused state... I brought this disaster upon you. I didn't find you in time... I'm the one who doesn't deserve you. I have no right to say I like you anymore. It's too late to say I want to protect you after all the pain has passed..."

"No, I never thought that way, I..."

Xuan Mingyu put the shirt by the bed back on, stood up, and said, "Niannian, I don't mean to look down on you, but... let's take some time apart to cool off these next few days. I'm afraid that every time I see you, I'll still be unable to resist taking advantage of you, but when I think about all the pain you've endured, I feel like I'm such a bastard..."

He needed to calm down and find the beast who had hurt her and caused her to give birth to Xiaoyouyou within the next few days! Only when he could completely erase her grievances and gloom would he be qualified to stand by her side.

"I'll have my dad bring Youyou back to you in a bit. You can stay here and make sure you're comfortable."

Mo Niannian shook her head vigorously, crying very sadly. She didn't blame him; she didn't want to separate from him to calm down.

"No, Mingyu, don't leave me alone, please don't leave me..."

She jogged down the stairs to catch up with him, but she couldn't keep up with him. He had already gotten into his car, started it, and driven away.

Mo Niannian collapsed to the ground, sobbing.

She didn't understand. Just a moment ago they were so close, and he even made a promise to her that he would always be by her side.

Why? Why did you still leave me?

Shouldn't she have never said those things to him? He must have been bothered; how could he not be? Tell me, who can truly let go and accept it indifferently when their girlfriend talks about those kinds of things from the past?

Why were you so good to me all of a sudden, only to cruelly abandon me in the end...?

Should Yoyo and I have never come here in the first place?

***

An hour later, Xian Shaodong brought Xiaoyouyou back. The little one was already a bit sleepy, yawning repeatedly, leaning against Mo Niannian's arms, and even waving to Xian Shaodong.

"Goodbye, Grandpa. I'll come play with you again tomorrow."

"Okay, Grandpa will be waiting for you."

"Thank you so much for bringing Youyou back. Please take care, I won't see you off any longer." Mo Niannian forced a smile at Xian Shaodong. She had been crying for a long time, and only when she heard the sound of car horns outside did she quickly compose herself.

"Okay. Xiaoruo, bring Youyou over more often when you have time. We all like her very much."

"Um... I will when I have time."

"Oh right," almost forgetting the important matter his son had asked him to do, Xian Shaodong turned back to the car and took out a thick stack of documents, handing them to Mo Niannian. "These are detailed information on several kindergartens that Mingyu found. They're not too far from here, and the teachers and environment are the best. Take a look and choose one. He'll be quite busy these few days, so he can't go with you to see them." Gu Yao had originally given them to Xian Mingyu, but later he gave them to his father, Xian Shaodong, to give to Mo Niannian when he took Youyou home.

He can't bear to see her anymore. Every time he sees her face, he thinks of the pain she has endured over the years, and he feels utterly despicable.

"Okay, I will." Mo Niannian took the documents from Xian Shaodong's hand. "By the way, Uncle..."

"Um?"

"Did Mingyu say anything else? Did he mention me? Did he... leave me any messages? Will he... come to see me and Youyou again?"
