Chapter 98

While in a coma, Xu Cheye was unaware of the chaos and turmoil he had unleashed.

It's not just about how much responsibility the kindergarten should bear because of that unexpected ball, but also about his prolonged coma, which lasted for two whole days before he woke up.

It nearly gave Mr. Xu, who had a child late in life, a heart attack.

"How is Uncle doing today? Has he shown any signs of waking up?"

"The young master's fever broke last night, and his temperature was normal this morning. The doctor said he should wake up today."

"That's good."

The low murmur of conversation drifted into the ward, followed by a series of light, firm footsteps.

As soon as Xu Yue entered the room, his attention was entirely focused on the bed, looking worriedly at his unconscious uncle.

He pulled out the chair next to him, plopped down, and started peeling an apple.

She kept nagging, "Little darling, you've slept for two days, haven't you had enough? Our old man has been crying for two nights already. If you don't wake up soon, his body won't be able to take it."

Xu Cheye's mother died during childbirth, and he was raised by a nanny. Hearing Xu Yue's words, the nanny was heartbroken and shed tears.

"Young master, wake up! If you wake up, Auntie will make you your favorite cream pudding."

As soon as she finished speaking, there were a few knocks outside. The nanny got up and opened the door.

Upon seeing who was outside the door, he paused for a moment, then quickly said, "Young Master Xu, Miss Xu."

Xu Qingyan led Xu Yirou into the house and headed straight for Xu Cheye's ward. Xu Yue was not surprised at all by his friend's arrival.

In front of others, Xu Yirou gave them face and didn't call him "stinky fart," but instead called him "A-Yue" properly.

Then, he walked around to the bedside, clung to the edge of the bed, and stared intently inside.

Xu Yue and Xu Qingyan needed to talk in the next room. Xu Yue squatted down and asked Xu Yirou with a smile:

"Aunt Rou, you and my uncle are good friends. Please talk to him more. Maybe he will wake up when he hears your voice."

Xu Yirou, with her little belly sticking out, nodded solemnly and waved her hand: "It's no trouble at all, you guys go ahead and do your work, don't worry about Cheche, leave him to me!"

Upon learning that the adorable little girl in front of her was the young master's good friend, the nanny was slightly surprised, but then felt happy and gratified.

It seems the young master is willing to play with other children.

It's rare for the young master's good friend to come visit, so we must treat him well.

The nanny happily went to wash the fruit and prepare snacks.

Only two cubs remained in the ward. The VIP ward was filled with 1.8x2.0-meter beds. Xu Cheye lay in the middle, a great distance away from Xu Yirou beside the bed.

Xu Yirou hesitated for a moment, then pushed off with her short legs and climbed up using both her hands and feet.

The chubby little dumpling sat up to catch her breath, then lay down next to Xu Cheye's pillow, propping her chin up with one hand and gently holding the boy's fingers with the other, giving them a squeeze.

"Cheche, are you hungry? That stinky brat said you slept for two days. You've slept for so long, doesn't your butt hurt?"

"You brat said you were knocked unconscious by a ball, it must have hurt a lot, right? Sigh, let me see if you've grown any little horns."

The little dumpling leaned close to Xu Cheye's face, carefully examining every corner.

He shook his head with a hint of regret: "You don't have horns on your forehead."

"Cheche~ Get up quickly."

Xu Yirou diligently fulfilled Xu Yue's important task, calling out to him in a softer and sweeter voice each time, trying every angle without any blind spots.

As the little girl called out to him, Xu Cheye visibly slept more soundly, his slightly furrowed brows gradually smoothing out.

Xu Yirou chattered until her mouth was dry, then climbed out of bed to put on her shoes and get a drink of water. Little did she know that the little one on the bed paused in her even breathing, her long, curled eyelashes fluttered, and after a moment, her closed eyes slowly opened a crack.

Tons.

"Wow~" Xu Yirou took a big gulp of water, smacked her lips contentedly, "It's sweet and delicious."

The sweet, innocent sigh gradually brought Xu Cheye back to his senses, and his hazy eyes shone like a sharp blade breaking through the dawn.

After the slight dizziness subsided, he turned his head slightly and saw the figure of a cub in his field of vision.

The little girl looked like a squirrel munching on nuts, her face round and chubby, her little paws holding a cup full of sweet water, happily refusing to let go.

Xu Cheye stared blankly for a long time, so long that when the girl finished washing the cup and turned around, their eyes met.

"!"

"Cheche!"

"Cheche, you're awake!"

Xu Yirou was both excited and delighted, and she fluttered back to the bedside like a little butterfly: "Did you just wake up? Wait a minute, I'll go call Choupidan and Dabao over."

"Meatball, don't rush." ​​The boy weakly raised his arm and called out to her in a hoarse voice.

Xu Yirou was startled: "Cheche, why has your voice changed? It's so strange, it doesn't sound the same as before."

Xu Cheye smiled gently: "Maybe it's because I'm a little thirsty, Rou Rou, could you pour me a glass of water?"

Xu Yirou suddenly realized what was happening and immediately sprang into action, quickly pouring a glass of water over.

"I'll go call Stinky Egg and Da Bao then!"

"etc."

The boy on the bed looked weak and pale, but his features were well-proportioned, and even before he had fully grown up, he already exuded a sense of coldness and fragility.

His eyes, with their clear black and white contrast, were exceptionally bright and clear, which diminished his frail appearance and added a touch of humility and determination.

"Meatball, thank you for waking me up. I want to talk to you more."

"I?"

Xu Yirou pointed at herself in disbelief. Was she really that amazing?

Xu Cheye's gaze was certain: "I woke up because I heard your voice."

Hearing him say that, Xu Yirou was overjoyed. Her two little braids twitched as she obediently lay down: "Don't be so polite. What do you want to say?"

Xu Cheye propped himself up on his elbows, gathered his thoughts, and said softly, "Rou Rou, we've been good friends for four months, but I still don't know your full name. Can you tell me?"

Xu Yirou stared wide-eyed in surprise: "We've actually been best friends for four months! My goodness, you remember so clearly, Cheche!"

The little girl shyly cupped her face and said, "I didn't even know we'd been best friends for so long! So... should we celebrate an anniversary?"

Hsu Yi-jou is very sensitive to anniversaries. As long as it is a special day for her, she will celebrate it properly, regardless of whether it is a holiday or not.

For example, family members' birthdays, the anniversary of the first time children called their mothers, wedding anniversaries, proposal anniversaries, etc.

Even though she forgot everything after shrinking and was always forgetful, she still knew that if someone could remember dates, it meant that He cared about that person a lot, so they had to celebrate together and reciprocate that affection.

Xu Cheye didn't mind her unconventional thinking at all.

He calmly replied, "Okay, which day would you like to spend it with?"

"Uh." Xu Yirou hesitated, then shook her head honestly, "I don't know, I haven't thought about it."

"It's alright, I'll let you know whenever you've thought it through." Xu Cheye raised an eyebrow, a gentle smile playing on his lips. "Can you tell me your name now?"

The little girl struck a pose of sitting upright and proper.

My name is~

"Xu Yirou".

She spoke in a soft, drawn-out tone, each word clear, resonant, and powerful.

Xu Yirou repeated it three times because she was afraid he wouldn't remember. Her nickname, Rou Rou, was simple and pleasant to hear, which is why most of the children around her couldn't remember her real name.

"Cheche, did you remember? Do you want me to say it three more times?" The little girl was very patient despite her young age.

"I've got it."

"Rou Rou".

Xu Cheye extended a slender, fair hand to the little girl. Under the girl's bewildered gaze, he curved his lips and hooked his neatly trimmed fingertips.

Long time no see, how are you doing?

"I'm so happy."

Xu Yirou answered without hesitation, her tiny white teeth gleaming: "I went to Disneyland a few days ago, Cheche, have you been there? I saw Snow White, Cinderella, Mickey Mouse, and Lina Belle!"

Recalling that day, Xu Yirou was still excitedly gesturing and her cheeks were flushed.

Xu Cheye gazed at her quietly, as if he had traveled through many years, filled with the disbelief of a long-awaited reunion and the cautiousness of regaining a precious treasure.

The room was filled with Xu Yirou's incessant talking, and it took a while before she belatedly realized that something was wrong.

The little glutinous rice ball shyly covered its mouth, its curly eyelashes fluttering as it brushed its fingers together.

"Cheche, I gave all the other kids Disney souvenirs, but I forgot to bring you one... Will you be angry with me?"

Xu Cheye's smile deepened; it turned out that her habit of letting slip things was something she had developed since childhood.

"It's okay, I don't mind."

Xu Yirou scratched her head with delight. Hmm, Cheche was really easy to talk to today and didn't deliberately put on a fierce and sullen face.

Cheche has grown up and become sensible.

When Xu Yirou was happy, she couldn't help but share it with others. She turned her back, put her hands on her hips, and shouted loudly, "Dabao, you stinky bastards, come here quickly!"

The cub's voice was incredibly powerful; before he finished speaking, the bedroom door opened suddenly, and two incredibly long legs emerged one after the other.

"Mother."

"Aunt Rou."

Xu Yue paused, then rushed over in a few quick steps: "Oh, my little darling, you're finally awake! Is there anything else that's bothering you?"

"I feel fine."

Glug glug—

My stomach, which hadn't eaten for two days, was protesting loudly.

Xu Cheye casually touched his stomach and said calmly, "Now I'm pregnant. My stomach is saying it's hungry."

Normally, Xu Yue would never miss this opportunity to tease his uncle, but considering that his uncle had just woken up, he would play the role of a good junior for a while.

"The porridge is still warm, I'll go get it."

After picking up the food, I raised the bed to a comfortable angle, set up the small table, and muttered:

“My little darling, you should thank Rou Rou properly this time. It must have been her love that awakened you.”

"No more sullen faces, and no more pretending to be aloof."

Xu Cheye pressed his fist to his lips, curving his lips into an almost imperceptible smile. While talking to Xu Yue, his gaze casually brushed over Xu Qingyan.

The good news that the Xu family's precious son had woken up reached the Xu family in less than three minutes, and a car full of Xu family elders were on their way.

The doctors and nurses were busy giving him a physical examination, and Xu Qingyan took the cub's mother and left first.

Reaching the doorway, Xu Yirou blinked, then suddenly turned around:

"Oh right, Cheche, you called me by the wrong name just now. I am Rou Rou."

In response, she responded with a flurry of activity.

After everyone left, the sweet fragrance of the cubs in the ward also dissipated. Xu Cheye stared at the tree canopy surrounded by green leaves outside the window, and it felt as if a tender green leaf had fallen into his palm. He couldn't help but curl his fingers.

Her pale lips parted slightly: "No, you are Rou Rou."
