At this time, Lu Jiayu opened the door and walked in with Ye Xin.

Seeing her hand being held by Lu Jiayu, Ye Xin's cheeks turned even redder, but she did not struggle and just let him lead her into the room.

"Because I need to make money and I have no other relatives at home, I can only leave Xiaozhi here. The people here are very nice and the environment is good, which will also help Xiaozhi's recovery." Lu Jiayu said in a gentle voice, pulling Ye Xin to the child.

The little boy was originally immersed in his own world, but suddenly someone approached him. His body subconsciously trembled and he curled up.

"Don't be afraid, Xiaozhi, it's your uncle." Lu Jiayu's voice was gentle, which made his already gentle face even gentler.

After hearing Lu Jiayu's voice, the boy didn't relax, but hugged himself even tighter, closing his eyes tightly and shrinking to the foot of the bed.

"Why is he like this?" Ye Xin asked.

Lu Jiayu straightened up with a distressed look on his face. "There's nothing I can do. This is one of his symptoms. Ever since he got this disease, he's been very reluctant to interact with people, especially men. And he doesn't talk anymore."

As he spoke, Lu Jiayu pointed at Ye Xin and introduced her to Xiao Zhi, "Xiao Zhi, this is Ye Xin's sister. She's your uncle's friend."

Ye Xin was a little embarrassed. "You are his uncle, but you asked him to call me sister. Doesn't that mean there is a generation gap between us?"

"Haha, since you are so young and cute, of course I should call you sister."

"I'm cute..." Ye Xin covered her face shyly. This was the first time a man called her cute, and she didn't know where to look. Finally, she looked at Xiao Zhi and stretched out her hand towards him. "Hello, Xiao Zhi, my name is Ye Xin. I hope we can be good friends."

Hearing Ye Xin's voice, the little boy miraculously opened his eyes. His black eyes stared at Ye Xin without blinking, then he stretched out his little hand and grabbed Ye Xin's hand.

Ye Xin looked at Lu Jiayu flattered, "He actually held my hand!"

Lu Jiayu smiled happily, "It proves that Xiaozhi likes you."

"I like you too, Xiaozhi!" Ye Xin said to the little boy with a smile.

The little boy stared at Ye Xin blankly, his eyes almost melting her heart. She stretched out her other hand, "Xiao Zhi, can you let me hug you?"

I thought the little boy would refuse or be shy, but he didn't. The moment Ye Xin stretched out her hand, the little boy threw himself into her arms, sobbing in a lame voice, "Mom... Mom's voice..."

Perhaps because he hadn't spoken for a long time, the boy's words were not very clear. Ye Xin didn't understand and looked at Lu Jiayu.

Lu Jiayu's eyes were deep, but he didn't say anything.

The boy hugged Ye Xin tightly. After a long time, he realized that this woman was not his mother, so he slowly loosened his arms and returned to the corner. After that, he never spoke or moved again.

Seeing this, Lu Jiayu apologized to Ye Xin and said, "Xiao Zhi must be a little tired. Let's go first and come visit him another day."

Ye Xin nodded, gave the boy a last look of heartache, and was about to leave with Lu Jiayu.

But when she was about to walk past the bed, the little boy reached out and grabbed the corner of her clothes.

"Huh? Xiaozhi, what's wrong?" Ye Xin stopped and looked at the boy, and found that the boy was also looking at him.

"Stay away from him... He's a devil..." The boy spoke very carefully, but his words were incomplete and unclear.

Ye Xin strained to hear, but could only barely make out the last word "devil." "Devil? What devil?"

She looked at Lu Jiayu beside her in confusion. Seeing that he was smiling, she reached out and gently stroked Xiaozhi's head. "This child, I wonder what he is talking in his sleep again. Let's go first and come to see him next time."
