Chaochao has always been very clear about this.

Pei Yushen had only temporarily moved into the Huo family's residence because he was ill.

But no sooner had she asked the question timidly than the little dumpling immediately became domineering: "Anyway, your room is all set, the one you stay in. Little Green is still waiting for you. Young man, you must come back and visit often, okay?"

Pei Yushen: "..."

He leaned against the hospital bed, his pale lips moving slightly: "Chao Chao, actually..."

He meant that the chances of the surgery being successful were very low.

But in the end, he swallowed it back, and his struggling gaze returned to a calm as still as a deep well. "Actually, it was Xiaobai who ate Xiaohua's leaves back then."

Without hesitation, he offered up the culprit, the Java sparrow, to take the blame.

Startled, Chaochao leaned back tactically: "It was Xiaobai who did it!!! I even ran into it this afternoon, and it said it had never seen it before!"

Pei Yushen never expected there would be a follow-up to this matter, especially since one of the young victims had been following up all along. "You..."

Still puzzled as to "why Xiaobaibai acted that way," Chaochao climbed onto the black velvet stool at the foot of the bed and asked worriedly, "Is there something troubling it?"

Pei Yushen replied without any change in expression: "I don't know, I don't understand."

"Sigh..." Chaochao sighed deeply as she sat on the stool. It seemed that she had not done a good job of persuading the Garden Babies.

Putting that aside for now, Chaochao then became curious about Pei Yushen's situation: "Brother Yushen, do you have many friends? Have you made any good friends?"

The boy paused for a moment, then said calmly, "...Yes."

Doctors who come and go are also human beings, aren't they?

The sound of a child's happy laughter came from the phone in an instant. On the other end, which Pei Yushen couldn't see, Chaochao was nodding with satisfaction. Brother Yushen has finally grown up.

Later, Pei Yushen also inquired about Chaochao's situation. The world of children is very simple. Just asking her what she ate for dinner can make her talk endlessly for a long time. Pei Yushen held up his phone and listened quietly, his long eyelashes blinking occasionally.

Chaochao talked a lot, but she didn't mention that she ate an extra bowl of rice for Pei Yushen, which was originally her fault...

Anyway, there's no need to make a fuss about such a small matter, hmm.

Chaochao skillfully convinced herself that it was already late at night. She couldn't help but yawn slightly, still thinking about continuing the conversation.

Pei Yushen said, "The doctor is here, let's hang up first."

The very understanding Chaochao said, "Oh, okay, Brother Yushen, you should go to bed early. Please say hello to the doctor or the older sister for me."

In the last second before hanging up, the quick-talking little dumpling said in a race against time, "Brother Yushen, we miss you! Remember to eat more, goodnight!"

After the call ended, all the lively sounds receded like a receding tide, leaving only his breathing in the spacious ward. There were indeed doctors passing through the corridor, but they only walked by.

Pei Yushen slowly lowered his hand; his newly changed phone only had one person's number saved in it.
