He Xiao's forehead wound was stitched up, and although it didn't damage his brain, he still fell into a coma for two days.
Shen Linyue was very anxious. She recalled the provocative voice in her dream. She did her best to stop He Xiao from acting alone, but the boy still managed to exploit a loophole and cause him to suffer a head injury.
While he was unconscious, Shen Linyue made the worst-case scenario plan. Regardless of whether he regained his memory, she tried her best to guide him away from his past self-blame.
When He Xiao called out "Mom," Shen Linyue's guess was confirmed, and the apple she was holding almost slipped from her fingers.
After a few seconds of composing herself, she smiled at the boy's bewildered gaze and replied readily, "Hey! My dear son."
The door to the ward was half open at some point, and a tall figure stood there. As soon as he stepped in, he heard the girl's clear voice say, "Good boy." He hesitated, unsure whether to go in or out.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, He Liyu took a deep look at the girl's back and quietly retreated to avoid embarrassment.
As soon as I called out the name, the scene in my dream vanished from my sight. When I regained consciousness, I clearly saw the girl's radiant smile and noticed the teasing look in her eyes.
He Xiao: "..." He was so embarrassed that he just wanted to crawl into a hole in the ground.
"I didn't call you," he tried to make amends.
Shen Linyue raised an eyebrow and smiled slightly: "Really? But I am your aunt, so it's normal for you to call me 'Mom,' my dear."
He Xiao's cheeks flushed red, whether from anger or embarrassment, he didn't know. He glared at her and said with dissatisfaction, "You were eighteen years old and you could have given birth to a child as big as me? Stop taking advantage of me."
He did indeed confuse reality with his dream, which is why he blurted out that sentence in a daze.
But when he looked at Lin Yue's face again, he couldn't help but feel a ripple in his heart; she really looked like his mother.
His memory hadn't fully returned, but he could clearly see his mother's beautiful face and the vivid expressions on it.
His contact with his mother felt like it was just yesterday, and it made him feel even more pained after he regained consciousness.
Because he knew his mother was gone, and she would never come back.
If memory doesn't stagnate, his memories of his mother should gradually become blurred over time. Every scene of being protected and intimately connected with his mother will become blurred, and he may not even be able to remember his mother's face clearly. If he occasionally thinks of her, he will only pause for a few seconds before moving on.
But not now. It's as if he's gone back to before he was ten years old. Every scene of being picked up, fed, and interacted with by his mother is clearly etched in his mind.
After regaining consciousness, he felt a heavy weight in his chest, experiencing endless loneliness and desolation.
Shen Linyue kept a close eye on the boy's emotions. When he was expressionless, he was six or seven parts similar to He Liyu, but he couldn't do what He Liyu did to keep his emotions hidden.
When he lowered his eyes and the blush on his face faded, she saw the emptiness and listlessness in the boy's eyes.
Shen Linyue felt a slight tremor in her heart, a bittersweet feeling rising within her.
She stuffed a piece of apple into his mouth and changed the subject: "Xu Hao was arrested, and the recording in your pocket played a crucial role."
"The police searched his so-called cousin's house, but it was an empty house with no one living there, and there was no evidence. He just deliberately led you there."
“He was taken away for investigation for provoking trouble. He was originally going to be sentenced to five to ten years, but with He Liyu’s methods, he can at least get him a ten-year sentence.”
She spoke casually, occasionally letting out a snicker, which made people unconsciously follow her train of thought.
"And then? What do you mean by laughing?" He Xiao asked curiously.
Shen Linyue glanced at him; although his face was still a little pale, he seemed to be in better spirits than before.
"Guess." She smiled mysteriously.
He Xiao pursed his lips, biting the apple in his mouth with a 'crunch' sound, his cheeks puffed out, making him look rather cute.
"I guess he didn't hire those people; he doesn't have that kind of ability."
Shen Linyue nodded: "Yes, he didn't hire the person. Do you remember that group of people from Gonggang last time?"
He Xiao looked directly at her and, under her gaze, gave his answer: "The person was provided by the group in Gonggang. They had no intention of letting me go, so they approached Xu Hao and tried to use him to make me suffer. But they underestimated Xu Hao's mental defenses, and he confessed the truth without much interrogation."
“Is that so?” he added.
Shen Linyue gave him a deep look, and just when He Xiao thought he had said something wrong, she smiled broadly.
"Wow, you guessed it all right!" she exclaimed dramatically.
He Xiao: "..." Childish.
"Next time, please don't breathe too loudly." The boy was speechless.
Shen Linyue chuckled, then became serious: "We all guessed it was Jiang Zhixing who did it, but after this incident, he was completely exonerated. He's young but quite cunning, huh?"
One can imagine what a powerful figure he would become if he were to develop his career.
All I can say is that he's truly amazing, befitting the male lead.
He Xiao glanced at her: "Why do you think I've only ever stumbled over him all these years?"
Shen Linyue patted his head affectionately: "Poor thing, my dear."
"I advise you to stop now," He Xiao said calmly, glancing at her.
Shen Linyue remained calm and exclaimed, "Once a mother, always a mother. I'm fine, really."
He Xiao: "..." Is her skin made of a city wall?
Just then, He Liyu knocked on the door and came in. The two little ones fed each other, creating a warm and happy scene.
He coughed lightly, and the children's eyes focused on him. He Liyu, without changing his expression, inquired about He Xiao's head.
"Does it still hurt?" His gaze was unusually gentle.
He Xiao felt uncomfortable under his gaze, looked away, and replied indifferently, "It doesn't hurt."
He Liyu smiled and didn't make things difficult for him, only saying, "Remember to call the doctor if you feel unwell."
After saying that, he didn't mean anything else.
He Xiaomei twitched; he thought that at a time like this, Old He would give him a lecture.
As he pondered, he turned his gaze to Lao He and met his worried eyes.
He Xiao was taken aback, a bitter feeling welling up inside him, but he still stubbornly insisted, "Don't you guys have to go to work or school at this hour?"
Shen Linyue replied without changing his expression, "Oh, it's Saturday today."
He Liyu said earnestly, "I've been working a lot these past few years and haven't taken many vacations. I plan to take a long break this time and work from home."
He Xiao: "!!!"
He looked at the workaholic Lao He in disbelief, finding it utterly horrifying to hear those words come out of his mouth.
Thinking about the precarious relationship they'd had over the past few years, he suspected that Lao He might be trying to repair their relationship during this time.
Thinking about it this way, he felt uneasy all over, and his whole body felt flustered and chaotic.
“Oh, whatever you want,” he replied curtly.
He Liyu smiled and turned his head to meet the inquisitive gaze of the little girl beside him.
Congratulatory gifts: ?
