A strong person is bound to be cold-blooded, and in terms of emotions, they are not as emotional as ordinary people.
Chen Rou was especially vulnerable because she was an orphan from a young age and had never experienced parental love. Although she longed to hug Li Xia or Chen Ke, she never did. A Yuan was the same; he always had to beg her for a hug before she would hug him.
He was her child, and it was her responsibility, but she was neither good at raising him nor at educating him.
Of course she loved him, and she knew that she was different from others in his heart.
But Chen Rou had never realized how important her not-so-good mother was to A Yuan as she did today.
He probably overheard her conversation with Song Yuanchao and knew she had gone out to run errands last night. But since he had never seen anyone injured and didn't understand what injury meant, he assumed that her not coming home meant she was sick like her grandfather.
It's been a whole day and night, and the little one still can't find his mother. Now he only has one thought: to see her.
Chen Rou has lived two lives. She has been scolded by her instructors and lost in physical competitions, but she has never cried or shed a tear.
But at this moment, hearing A Yuan's sobs, which he tried so hard to suppress but couldn't stop, she couldn't control herself.
Just then, the nanny said, "Young master, why are you crying?"
Ah Yuan's voice suddenly rose, and he enunciated clearly: "No!"
Although the wet nurse doesn't work shifts like a nanny and is a live-in servant at the Nie family's house 24 hours a day, she's not like other wet nurses who take on the role of a full-time mother. A-Yuan and she don't have the same motherly intimacy that Nie Yao, Jia Yu, and Jia Jun have towards her.
His attitude toward the wet nurse was the same as Nie Zhao's attitude toward her: respectful, but also distant.
In particular, A Yuan didn't cry, so how could the nanny tell his mother?
He stammered as he explained to his mother, "Baby just... just... Mangmang, baby's eyes..."
The baby is too young to lie.
Chen Rou took a deep breath and asked her son softly, "Did you pee your eyes?"
Still a little kid, Ah Yuan choked: "Looks like, like, xi!"
Nie Zhao came over to wipe away her tears, which startled Chen Rou.
Taking the paper, she said softly, "Mommy misses Ayuan too. Mommy's eyes are wet too, but Mommy is a little busy. I promise I'll appear in front of you tomorrow morning when Ayuan opens his eyes, okay?"
Ah Yuan wanted to say no.
Because this is an unfamiliar place, the way people speak is different from that in Hong Kong.
This hotel is really fun. There are giant Mickey Mouses on the walls, little Donald Ducks on the tables, and plush toys everywhere.
But Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck said something in a high-pitched, affected voice, which A-Yuan didn't like.
Besides, although he doesn't usually bother his mother, whenever A-Yuan goes back to see her, whether she's at the gym, running, or working, he can happily play by himself.
But now, no matter how he turns around, he can't see his mother, and he starts to feel anxious.
He always felt that his mother's tummy must be hurting, maybe lying in bed like his grandfather. And for the little one, lying in bed lifeless like Nie Rong was very frightening.
However, Ah Yuan is also a reasonable little guy. He gripped his phone tightly and suddenly called out, "Mang Mang."
Chen Rou asked, "What's wrong?"
Ah Yuan touched his chubby little belly again: "Tummy, does it still hurt?"
Children can't think too much, nor do they understand what their mothers are busy with.
So he still believed that his mother wasn't coming home tonight because her stomach was hurting and she was in the hospital, so she couldn't go home.
Chen Rou thought for a moment and said, "Because I heard A Yuan's voice, it doesn't hurt anymore."
Although A Yuan had been smiling with the corners of his lips slightly upturned just now, there was no real joy on his face. But now, his eyes were crinkled with laughter.
So he cured his mother, right? She won't be bedridden like his grandfather.
The little guy felt a sense of accomplishment at that moment and wasn't so sad anymore.
He held the phone, reluctant to hang up, and called out again, "Mang Mang."
Chen Rou patiently asked, "What's wrong?"
A-Yuan doesn't know exactly where his mother is, but he's actually a little kid who likes fun things.
However, unlike when I went to the capital, I was with my mother, so even the most fun things didn't matter.
He said, "Let's open the window, let's open the window! Tomorrow, the baby will take the child to see the sights."
The little guy was still sitting in the chair, pointing out the window with one chubby little finger.
The panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows face the Disney castle, and above the castle, a giant firework explodes at the fingertips of children.
Nie Zhao bent down and listened intently. After listening, he grabbed his clothes.
Chen Rou also said, "Let's go back. It's good to live next door to him."
Actually, Nie Zhao wanted to reply immediately, but he was afraid that if he had radiation on him, it would affect his son. In the 1980s, Pennsylvania in the United States experienced a nuclear leak, the highest amount of which was plutonium.
So he asked Wade to send their test data over there and see how things went.
He dared not take the risk because of the radiation involved.
But Chen Rou is right. Even living next door to her son is better than living so far away from him.
Nie Zhao understands best how a child misses their mother.
Even now, the specific manifestation of his stress is that he repeatedly dreams of his mother.
He couldn't leave his son with the same nightmares he had. Since they had already made a promise, he would cleanse himself tonight and stand by A Yuan's bedside first thing tomorrow morning.
