Seventeen years, he has been looking for her for seventeen years.
In his memory, she remained as a little baby, and she grew up little by little in his imagination until she became what she is now. Therefore, he recognized her at a glance.
Zhou Shuo's breathing was even, his brows were relaxed, and he looked bright and cheerful.
Zhou Shuo looked like this when she was a child. Mu Ci was very curious about what kind of master could raise such a bright and beautiful girl. Whether it was when he was with her as a child or now in these two short days, Mu Ci's frozen heart melted again and again.
He had already seen through life and death, no longer caring or lingering. But from the moment he saw her, a desire to live slowly rose in his heart.
He had missed her for seventeen years, and now that he had just found her, he suddenly didn't want to die, didn't want to leave this cold world, because from the moment Zhou Shuo appeared, he suddenly wasn't cold anymore.
Zhou Shuo is a shining treasure.
Mu Ci couldn't help but reach out his hand and gently touched Zhou Shuo's delicate face. He was afraid of waking her up, but he really couldn't help it. This gentle movement made Zhou Shuo feel very itchy.
She reached out and pushed Mu Ci's hand away, muttering, "Huahua, go away and don't bother me!"
She knelt beside the bed and fell asleep with her arms as her pillow. When she raised her arm, her body lost balance and she fell down.
"Zhou Shuo!" Mu Ci was anxious and quickly reached out to grab her.
Zhou Shuo opened his eyes drowsily and glanced at Mu Ci: "Brother, are you awake? Sleep a little longer, I'm so sleepy."
Mu Ci said softly, "Then come to the bed and sleep."
"Okay." Zhou Shuo climbed onto the bed without even opening his eyes.
Mu Ci opened his arms and let her rest her head on him. The little girl arched her back, found a comfortable position and fell asleep.
Mu Ci's heart was suddenly filled.
......
Zhou Shuo slept until dawn.
She was woken up by the heat, kicked off the quilt and stretched, but accidentally touched Mu Ci's face beside her.
Zhou Shuo sat up hurriedly and met Mu Ci's smiling eyes.
"Brother Shitou is awake?" Zhou Shuo was surprised.
Mu Ci slowly stood up and looked at Zhou Shuo with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work."
Zhou Shuo immediately placed his hand on Mu Ci's wrist, concentrated and took his pulse, his expression even more surprised: "Brother, let's get out of bed and give it a try."
Mu Ci was slightly stunned.
Zhou Shuo had already jumped off the bed and said firmly, "Brother Shitou, be brave and come!"
Mu Ci hesitated and moved to the bedside under Zhou Shuo's gaze, then stood up with Zhou Shuo's support - the carpet was very soft, this was his first feeling, and at the same time his heart couldn't help but shudder.
Can he feel his feet?
Zhou Shuo stood two or three steps in front of him, stretched out his hand and encouraged him.
Mu Ci subconsciously took a step forward and was stunned!
Another step, another step!
He looked at Zhou Shuo in disbelief. Zhou Shuo's smile was as bright as a spring flower.
Mu Ci walked towards Zhou Shuo with stiff steps.
These two legs had not been used for years. Mu Ci tripped and fell forward. Zhou Shuo rushed over to help him, but he could not bear Mu Ci's weight, and they both fell on the thick and soft carpet.
Mu Ci pressed Zhou Shuo under him, but Zhou Shuo laughed out loud, "Are you happy? Brother Shi Tou, you can walk now, although you're not very skilled at it yet."
Mu Ci frantically tried to move his body away, fearing that he would crush Zhou Shuo. However, the ecstasy in his heart made him stand up again and trap Zhou Shuo between his arms. He said in a trembling voice, "Really! I can walk now!"
Zhou Shuo smiled with his eyes curved and nodded.
Mu Ci reached out and hugged Zhou Shuo, burying his head in her neck. After a long moment, he whispered, "Zhou Shuo, don't leave me."
Zhou Shuo heard the sob and a hint of grievance in his tone, reached out and patted him on the back, and said with a smile: "I have no home, brother, please take me in."
Mu Ci gathered his emotions, turned over and lay on the carpet, holding Zhou Shuo's hand: "Okay, it's a deal! We'll be together forever!"
Zhou Shuo's expression turned serious. "Then you have to promise me that you will cooperate with the treatment! The lifetime you mentioned can't just be half a year! It has to be as long as my lifetime."
Mu Ci's eyes couldn't help but get warm.
He still has half a year. The whole family knows about this. He has long been numb to his grandfather's sighs and the indifference of his parents, brothers and relatives.
Except for grandpa, no one cares about his life or death, and some may even hope he dies.
This time, he truly felt needed and wanted.
Zhou Shuo said angrily, "I don't know which quack doctor made this conclusion, saying you only have six months to live? Find him here, I want to argue with him!"
Mu Ci raised his hand, brushed Zhou Shuo's hair to his ear, and said lightly: "It doesn't matter anymore."
He sat up and tried to prop himself up. Zhou Shuo helped him up. "Brother Shitou, don't worry. The Xuejin Pills are taking effect, but you've been ill for too long. It won't be recovered overnight. Besides the medication, acupuncture and massage I'll give you every day, you'll also need to exercise to restore muscle function. You should be back to normal in less than a month."
Mu Ci held Zhou Shuo's hand and stood up straight, his eyes firm: "Okay! I will definitely listen to you!"
He took a tentative step and walked back to the bed. Zhou Shuo gently held his arm. These short steps made a thin layer of sweat appear on Mu Ci's forehead.
Zhou Shuo told Mu Ci about what had happened in the past two days. At the end, she hesitated for a moment and said, "I've looked at your previous recipes. Brother, you need to change your eating habits. The dishes you used to like are harmful to your illness. A disease should be treated 30% and nourished 70%. No matter how good the medicine is, it is not as good as food. Similarly, no matter how good the medicine is, if the diet is inconsistent with it, the effect of the medicine will be greatly reduced, and it may even conflict with it."
Mu Ci was stunned, and a thousand thoughts flashed through his mind.
In the end, he said nothing and just smiled, "Zhou Shuo, the dishes you cook are delicious. Can you cook for me more often in the future?"
Zhou Shuo nodded and patted his chest to assure, "Of course! My master and fellow apprentices are full of praise for my cooking skills! From now on, I'll take charge of your diet!"
