Jiang Ranran didn't blame Zhao Xiaocui at all. Her diligence was obvious to everyone in the orphanage. All the children were very close to her and called her "Mom Xiaocui". Besides, Jiang Ranran had known for a long time that the child had a weak constitution.
"The child is weak, I've known this for a long time. I don't blame you. You can go back. The children still need you. I'll just stay here." Jiang Ranran smiled at Zhao Xiaocui with understanding, and Zhao Xiaocui also responded to her grateful smile.
After Zhao Xiaocui left, Jiang Ranran sat beside Xiaoyu's bed, looking at the little person on the bed with gentle eyes.
She was so small. To her, the sheets and quilts were huge things. She could only cover a small part of the quilt. Looking through the quilt, her little face was rosy, her breathing was even as if she was asleep, her small and tender pink lips were closed, and her little nose opened and closed. She was so cute.
Jiang Ranran couldn't help but touch her forehead to see if her fever had subsided, but unexpectedly she woke up the little girl.
Xiaoyu opened her big, twinkling eyes, and her long eyelashes like a palm-leaf fan made her eyes even more beautiful. Jiang Ranran was trying to retract her hand in panic, but heard Xiaoyu mumbling something. Jiang Ranran moved closer to listen, and she was actually calling for her mother.
A child of this age can only say a few simple words. Even if his mother is not around, the first word he learns is still "Mom". Jiang Ranran couldn't help but sigh, and felt even more pity for the child lying on the bed.
"Baby, are you still feeling uncomfortable?" Jiang Ranran gently touched the child's face, like a loving mother.
But unexpectedly, when their eyes met, Xiao Yu's eyes were immediately filled with tears. She pursed her lips in grievance and said, "Mom, I want mom..." As she said that, she opened her two thin arms towards Jiang Ranran.
She was asking for a hug. Jiang Ranran was afraid that the child would pull out the infusion needle, so she quickly held her in her arms.
As soon as the child was in Jiang Ranran's arms, she immediately became obedient, her little face pressed tightly against Jiang Ranran's neck, her warm breath constantly patting Jiang Ranran's skin, and then her little hands also hugged Jiang Ranran's neck.
Jiang Ranran held her as if she were his own child, rocking her gently and caressing her tenderly.
After a while, Xiao Yu fell asleep in Jiang Ranran's arms. Jiang Ranran planned to put her down and go back to bed to continue sleeping, but unexpectedly, the child woke up in fear as soon as her body touched the bed, and then yelled for a hug.
Jiang Ranran had no choice but to hold Xiaoyu in her arms. She called Zhao Xiaocui, feeling somewhat puzzled. "Will the child always be like this? Should he be held in her arms all the time?"
Jiang Ranran originally wanted to say that this was not a good habit, and when she returned she would ask Zhao Xiaocui to supervise her to correct it, but unexpectedly Zhao Xiaocui said that the child had never done this before, and it was the first time she heard of such a situation.
At this moment, Jiang Ranran was also stunned, and inexplicably felt that this child might like her.
"It seems that Xiaoyu treats you as her mother." Zhao Xiaocui said with a hint of relief in her tone.
For them, the greatest comfort is that their children regard them as their closest relatives. Now Jiang Ranran has done it. She couldn't help but look down at the little person in her arms with a motherly smile.
"Okay, I get it. Since I can't let her go now, I might as well take her home tonight. You don't have to wait for her." Jiang Ranran said as she gently rocked the child, ready to take her home later.
At this time, the three cute babies have already returned home to live. Maybe Xiaoyu’s arrival will make them happy too.
So Jiang Ranran specifically informed the three cute babies in advance that she would be taking little sister Xiaoyu home and asked them to be prepared. As soon as the three cute babies heard the news, they were extremely happy. They all liked Xiaoyu very much.
When Jiang Ranran entered the house with Xiaoyu in her arms, they heard a bang. Erbao started spraying flowers at Jiang Ranran and the child with a flower tube, but was quickly stopped by Sanbao: "Second brother, you are stupid! Don't you know Xiaoyu is sick? You'll scare her!"
Sanbao pouted unhappily, rolled his eyes at Erbao, and then ran towards Xiaoyu.
"Little Yu, be good, don't be afraid, we will ignore your brother." As he spoke, he stretched out his chubby little hand to poke Xiao Yu's face, then looked at Jiang Ranran excitedly and said, "Mommy, mommy, she is so cute!"
Dabao had been standing a little further away, remaining restrained. Seeing Sanbao's excitement, he immediately looked down on him, "You're still talking about Erbao? I think you're more likely to scare Xiaoyu."
Don’t be fooled by Dabao’s stern face like a little adult, he is actually a sister-con. He usually dotes on Sanbao, but now this feeling seems to have shifted from Sanbao to Xiaoyu.
Although Sanbao was not convinced, he still pouted and moved a little further away.
At this time, Jiang Ranran knew that Dabao had the final say here and he could control his younger siblings.
Jiang Ranran waved at Dabao, motioning him to come over. Dabao walked over with some excitement and joy, but he didn't expect Jiang Ranran to hand the child directly to Dabao. When Dabao couldn't wait to reach out to take the child, the plush toy that he had been hiding behind his back fell out.
Jiang Ranran knew that Dabao never played with these "childish" things, so this must be prepared for Xiaoyu.
Seeing the things fall out, Dabao's face suddenly turned red. He pursed his lips gently and said, "This is a gift for Xiaoyu. I think she will like it."
"Dabao, you are the oldest child here. I will leave Xiaoyu in your care. You must take good care of her." Jiang Ranran reached out and gently touched Dabao's little face. When Dabao heard that he was going to take care of Xiaoyu, his eyes immediately lit up.
But at this time, Erbao and Sanbao were unhappy. They crowded in front of Jiang Ranran and begged: "Mom, we want to play with Xiaoyu too, okay?"
"Okay! But little sister Xiaoyu is sick now, you have to help Dabao take care of her, and tell me immediately if there is any problem." Jiang Ranran smiled lovingly. Strangely, Xiaoyu didn't cry or make a fuss when she left Jiang Ranran and came to Dabao's arms. Instead, she giggled when she was not uncomfortable.
They seemed to be very close the moment they met. Perhaps it was because they had lived together in an orphanage? Jiang Ranran thought silently in his heart.
If possible, she really wanted to take care of Xiao Yu personally, but the matter of rescuing Gu Tingchen was imminent, and Jiang Ranran didn't want to drag it on any longer. This matter must be resolved, and she wouldn't stop until she saw Gu Tingchen!
"Gu Tingchen, Gu Tingchen, where are you?" Jiang Ranran murmured to herself.
