Fu Huaijin slowly bent down, gently grasped the little fox's front legs with both hands, and easily lifted her up. His cold face and tightly pursed lips revealed that he was very displeased at the moment.
He had barely glanced at it when the little thing tried to run away.
Su Yuxi's eyebrows twitched, and she turned her face away guiltily.
Not hearing the scolding she expected, she couldn't help but turn her eyes back to steal a glance at him.
Seeing his increasingly gloomy expression, she was afraid of being hit, so she shrank back and reluctantly stretched her head over to rub against his chest.
Tell him that he is not trying to run away, but just came down to catch bugs for fun.
Fu Huaijin couldn't resist this conciliatory attitude. He sighed helplessly, his anger instantly vanishing. He pulled her into his arms and took a deep breath: "I won't hold it against you this time, but if you dare to run away again..."
He paused, then his tone turned threatening: "I'll break your legs."
That way they won't be able to escape anymore.
Su Yuxi felt a chill run down her spine. She kicked him and then buried her head deep in his neck: I can't see or hear anything, so whatever I say goes in one ear and out the other. I'll bite you to death right now.
...
Since his failed escape attempt and subsequent capture, Fu Huaijin has kept an even closer eye on the little fox, taking it almost everywhere he goes. If it weren't for the inconvenience of going to the toilet, he would have taken it with him, fearing that the little creature might run away without him noticing.
The weather was nice today, and the two of them were basking in the morning sun in the garden, with Su Yuxi lazily lying on his stomach.
She's been getting lazier and lazier lately. She'll lie down if she can lie down, and she'll hug if she can hug, and she's even put aside her plans to run away.
Now that we have food, drink, companionship, and sleep, why would we go to the mountains to suffer?
This person is just so negative.
While she was enjoying herself, Fu Huaijin was enjoying it just as much. He could be more content with petting the little fox every day.
Just as the two were comfortably enjoying themselves, a phone call shattered their peaceful and cozy moment.
Fu Huaijin frowned slightly, his gaze sweeping across the screen. It was a call from home, probably from family members asking if he was alright. He rubbed the little fox's back and pressed the answer button, thinking it was just a regular call of concern.
But the content of the phone call made his expression change drastically, and he remained in a daze for a long time after hanging up.
Held in his arms, Su Yuxi was somewhat dazed; she had overheard the phone call earlier.
It is said that when the old lady got up to use the restroom last night, she suddenly felt dizzy and fell.
For young people, this fall is just a minor daily incident, but for older people, it can be a life-altering hurdle.
The doctor issued a critical condition notice that very night.
When Fu Huaijin received the call, the surgery had already finished. Although the surgeon was a top-notch doctor and the best medicine was used, the situation was still not optimistic.
Inside the plane, Fu Huaijin's fingers were a little cold. He stared blankly at the scenery outside, without saying a word.
Looking at his expressionless face, Su Yuxi knew that although he appeared calm on the surface, he must be going through a lot of inner turmoil.
The old lady held the warmest place in his life, even more important than his own mother. He would definitely be heartbroken if she were to pass away.
Su Yuxi raised her hand and patted the back of his hand, wanting to tell him that she was still there for him, and that no matter what happened, at least she was by his side now.
Fu Huaijin snapped out of his reverie, his dark gaze meeting her clear, bright fox-like eyes. He was touched, as if he understood the meaning in her eyes. His eyes gradually brightened, and he gently rubbed her head, softly replying, "Yes, I still have you."
Su Yuxi withdrew her paws somewhat guiltily, then obediently curled up on his lap, closing her eyes and pretending to sleep.
The two remained silent, neither saying a word. They both knew that having each other was the deepest comfort.
They spent a long twelve hours together, and as soon as they got off the plane, they rushed to the hospital without stopping, as the old lady was still not out of danger.
The VIP floor was packed with people, all watching over the old lady. The doctor said that if she didn't wake up in a few hours, she might not make it through the critical period.
Fu Huaijin possessed an immense aura, emanating an invisible pressure. Just by standing there, even without uttering a sound, his presence was impossible to ignore.
He stepped inside, and the crowd silently made way for him, giving him the best spot.
The old lady is in the intensive care unit right now, with many tubes inserted into her body, which looks terrifying.
Fu Huaijin's gaze lingered through the glass on the old lady's silent face, his muscles tense as if unwilling to accept it.
As if sensing her beloved grandson's return, the old lady's heart rate monitor suddenly jumped, beeping and beeping, prompting the nurse to check.
The doctor went in after that.
After a flurry of activity, the doctor withdrew.
The old lady struggled to open her heavy eyelids and vaguely saw her handsome grandson standing not far away. She tried to open her mouth to speak, but the oxygen mask on her mouth prevented her from saying a word.
He could only barely raise his trembling finger to point at the people outside.
Seeing this, the nurse took her hand and looked in the direction she was pointing, which was exactly where Fu Huaijin was standing.
"Xiao Jin, go change your clothes and talk to your grandma." A haggard-looking elder stood behind him and advised him. The doctor had just said that today might be the last day.
Fu Huaijin's eyes were numb as he mechanically followed the nurse to change clothes. He also wrapped the fox in his arms in a sterile gown, leaving only its head exposed.
The nurse opened her mouth, wanting to tell him that the little fox might have a lot of germs on it and was not suitable for entering the sterile room, but before she could utter a word, Fu Huaijin raised his hand to stop her.
The nurse who opened the door looked at him carrying the fox inside, seemingly wanting to say something but then hesitated, considering that the old lady only had so much time left and that no one outside seemed to have any objections, so she didn't say anything and opened the door to let them in.
Fu Huaijin walked heavily to the bedside, staring intently at the old lady with sunken eyes. His heart clenched. She was such a happy old lady when she was leaving.
"grandmother."
The old lady was overjoyed to see her eldest grandson looking radiant and full of energy. Not wanting to spoil the mood, she forced a smile and glanced around behind him. Not seeing the person she wanted to see, her eyes showed a slight disappointment.
Fu Huaijin knew what she was looking for. He handed the little fox to her and said gently with a smile, "Grandma, I have good news for you."
"Xixi is pregnant, twins, but the pregnancy isn't very stable yet, so she can't take long-haul flights and hasn't come back yet."
"Don't you want to hold your great-grandchildren soon? They'll be born in eight or nine months, so you need to get better quickly."
