Before going to bed at night, Cheng Jingmo did not go back to his room. He wanted to sleep in the guest room on the first floor.

Yu Xiangnian expressed his understanding. After all, their room was on the second floor, and Cheng Jingmo's upper arm, forearm, and thigh were all in plaster. It was quite inconvenient.

Yu Xiangnian brought a quilt and wanted to sleep with him in the guest room, but Cheng Jingmo refused.

Yu Xiangnian pretended not to understand that Cheng Jingmo didn't want to get close to others, so she insisted on sleeping here.

"Do you dislike me?" Yu Xiangnian had already climbed onto the bed. "I'm going to sleep with you anyway!"

At night, Yu Xiangnian was awakened by Cheng Jingmo.

Cheng Jingmo's painful voice, "No! No! Kill me! Kill me!"

Yu Xiangnian had heard from Yu Xiangyang that Cheng Jingmo had nightmares and talked in his sleep every now and then, so she had to sleep with him.

Yu Xiangnian turned on the light and woke Cheng Jingmo up.

Cheng Jingmo opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling blankly. It took him several seconds to come back to his senses.

There were tears in the corners of his eyes, and he turned his face away, not wanting to face Xiang Nian.

Yu Xiangnian approached her and placed his hand on his face. "Cheng Jingmo, everything that happened before is over. Let's go home."

"Look at An'an and Keke. They've been clinging to you all day. They really miss their daddy."

"When your injury is healed, let's go out and play as a family, okay?"

Cheng Jingmo turned his face away and was unwilling to speak.

Yu Xiangnian talked for a long time, but Cheng Jingmo didn't respond, and then she fell asleep.

Cheng Jingmo then turned his head and looked at Yu Xiangnian's sleeping face, crying silently.

Why wasn't he the one who died?

He should have shot them!

It is urgent to provide Cheng Jingmo with psychological treatment.

Yu Xiangnian went to the bookstore to look for books on psychotherapy.

Yu Xiangyang came home every afternoon, pushed Cheng Jingmo out for a walk, and talked about this and that all the time.

Cheng Jingmo's parents and children also accompany him every day.

An An and Ke Ke also knew that their father was sick, so even though Cheng Jingmo didn't respond to them, they kept talking to him.

Meng Yiming contacted foreign experts, who sent him two professional books.

Yu Xiangnian and Meng Yiming taught themselves this knowledge every day to help Cheng Jingmo with his treatment. When they encountered problems, they would make overseas calls for help.

Fortunately, the Song family has the conditions, and the two can communicate with foreign experts without any obstacles.

Three months passed quickly.

Cheng Jingmo's body has recovered well enough and he can move slowly.

Under the treatment of Yu Xiangnian and Meng Yiming, he was willing to respond with a sentence or two when others spoke to him, and his nightmares at night were not as frequent.

But he had no interest in anything.

Yu Xiangyang and Wen Qiuning brought their two children to visit him at home.

Yu Xiangyang placed the children on the sofa and asked Cheng Jingmo, "Do you think they look like me or Ningning?"

Cheng Jingmo glanced at him calmly, "You."

"I think so too!" Yu Xiangyang was overjoyed to receive Cheng Jingmo's response and continued, "I want to name them Cailing and Caiwei, what do you think?"

Cheng Jingmo: “…Not very good.”

"What about Yoyo and Qingqing?" Yu Xiangyang said proudly, "I found these names from the Book of Songs."

Cheng Jingmo curled his lips in disdain, "Stop pretending to be cultured."

After four months, Cheng Jingmo finally had expressions, and Yu Xiangyang was so excited that he almost jumped up.

Yu Xiangyang said, "Then help me think of a name?"

Cheng Jingmo: "Look up the dictionary."

Yu Xiangyang said, "What if I find Yu Squid and Yu Crow?"

In order to make Cheng Jingmo happy, he risked everything.

Cheng Jingmo was not happy: "..."

Yu Xiangyang sighed silently in his heart.

Four months have passed since the incident, and Cheng Jingmo still hasn't gotten over it.

Xiaojie graduated from university and took the exam to study abroad at Stanford University, the same school where Lin Ye had studied abroad before.

It was August, and he was leaving soon.

That morning, he accompanied Cheng Jingmo out and slowly practiced walking.

"Uncle, I'm going out in a few days." Xiaojie supported him, "It will take several years for me to come back, you have to take care of yourself."

Cheng Jingmo said, "Just concentrate on your studies."

The implication is that you don't have to worry about him.

Xiaojie said, "Uncle, I call you uncle, but in my heart, you are my father, even closer than my father. You have to wait for me to come back and watch me start a family and build a career."

When mentioning Xiaojie's father, Cheng Jingmo thought of his fallen comrades, and his eyes dimmed again.

In late August, Xiaojie was about to leave home.

That night, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Cheng Jingmo, Yu Xiangnian, and Song Huaiqian and his wife.

"Uncle, aunt, grandpa, grandma, I'm leaving tomorrow. You must take good care of yourselves and wait for me to come back to be filial to you!"

The luckiest thing that happened to him in his life was being adopted by Cheng Jingmo and Yu Xiangnian.

It was they who changed his thinking and his vision, and it was they who achieved everything for him.

Yu Xiangnian was so moved that his nose was full of soreness. "Hurry up and get up. I didn't do anything. It's your uncle who taught me well."

Xiao Jie was still kneeling, looking at Cheng Jingmo with a sharp gaze, "Uncle! You've survived all kinds of hardships. This is the last one, you must hold on!"

Cheng Jingmo: “…”

Xiaojie said, "It's you, and people like you, who have sacrificed their own suffering for the happiness of everyone else. You deserve this happiness more than anyone else! You must live well and enjoy this happiness!"

"Uncle, wait for me to come back. You have to watch me become someone like you who contributes to the country and society! Uncle, you have to promise me!"

Cheng Jingmo was silent for a while, then said, "Okay."
