After Tangyuan got the vaccination, Yun Muye hurried back with him in his arms, feeling extremely uneasy and eager to see Gu Zhinian. Gu Juan dragged Zhang Pingping with one hand, with a stern look on his face, and passed by him with a sense of alienation and indifference, as if strangers should stay away.
When I returned to the ward, there was a piece of clothing thrown on the floor and some untied things on the bed, but the person was gone!
When little Tangyuan smelled the familiar scent, he started crying breathlessly, looking around with tearful eyes, his little face flushed with anxiety.
Yun Muye stood there stupidly holding the child, and then he went to the corridor to look for someone with the crying child in his arms.
"Zhi Nian! Zhi Nian!"
After searching the entire corridor and not finding anyone, Yun Muye asked everyone he met.
"Excuse me, have you seen a woman around twenty years old, with long hair and very beautiful appearance?"
People passing by shook their heads and said they had never seen it.
Yun Muye ran to the bathroom and comforted himself anxiously, she went to the toilet, it must be! Yun Muye grabbed a female nurse and asked for help,
"Comrade, could you please help me go in and see if there is a beautiful woman with long hair, around 20 years old inside?"
Seeing his anxiety, the female nurse agreed repeatedly, "Okay, okay, I'll go in and take a look."
"Thank you, comrade!" Yun Muye's hands were shaking violently as he held the child. Little Tangyuan couldn't stop crying, but he didn't have time to comfort him. He was only thinking about Gu Zhinian.
The female nurse came out and shook her head, "Comrade, the person you are looking for is not inside."
Yun Muye's mind was stunned, as if struck by lightning, and he was completely blank. He pursed his lips and walked in.
"Impossible, I'll go in and take a look myself!"
The female nurse stopped him and said, "Comrade, this is the women's bathroom, you can't go in!"
"Let me go! Zhinian! Zhinian!" Yun Muye raised his neck and shouted loudly towards the bathroom. He couldn't control his trembling lips and tried his best to suppress the panic in his heart.
The child cried so heartbreakingly that it was heartbreaking.
The head nurse came hurriedly and in order to make Yun Muye give up, she asked everyone in the bathroom to come out. Yun Muye carefully observed every person who came out and became more and more panicked. It was not her, it was not her.
The head nurse said, "There's no one in the bathroom. If you don't believe me, go in and take a look yourself!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Muye walked in hurriedly and looked back and forth twice, but there was no one.
Yun Muye's bright eyes dimmed in an instant, and he walked out silently. His heart felt squeezed and suffocated again, and his breathing was not smooth. Somehow, the voice of her reluctant instructions on the day of giving birth came to his mind.
"If I suddenly disappear one day, don't worry. Take good care of the child and yourself. I will definitely come back to find you. No matter where you are, as long as you are waiting for me, I will always run to you and the child."
"If anything really happens to me, you take good care of our son. Also, remember, in 1985, after the Spring Festival, go to the labor market and find a nanny for Tangyuan. Remember! I will come back to you, I will!"
Yun Muye's eyes were red as he hugged the child tightly in his arms. He looked around but there was no one who saw her. The huge feeling of powerlessness made him helpless and bitter.
"Zhi Nian, did you know you would leave long ago? Just like you suddenly appeared beside me, if it weren't for my son in my arms, I would have thought that this period of time was just a dream, and you would disappear when I woke up."
Little Tangyuan was tired of crying and became speechless. He lay in his father's arms and sucked his fingers. Yun Muye bent down and kissed his son's forehead. His wife loved little Tangyuan the most. She would not leave them like this. As long as he took good care of the child, she would definitely come back again. Then, she would be very happy to see her chubby and fair son.
Yun Muye walked towards the ward with heavy steps, his eyes constantly scanning the surroundings, hoping that she would appear before him in the next second, and said to him with a smile, "Did I scare you? I was just kidding you!"
When they walked into the ward, little Tangyuan started sobbing again. Yun Muye didn't know what was wrong with him, and tried to comfort him in a panic. His eyes swept over the child-raising handbook on the bed. He held the child in one hand and picked up the notebook and opened it with the other.
The first page records that the child was crying non-stop, simply because he was hungry, sleepy, wet, or uncomfortable.
The familiar font made Yun Muye, a man who shed blood but not tears, choke up. He stroked the notebook with trembling hands, and the crying of little Tangyuan brought him back to his thoughts.
Yun Muye took a deep breath and opened the small blanket. Little Tangyuan was wet with urine. He wiped his little butt with a cloth and changed him into a dry diaper. Little Tangyuan hummed twice and opened his little mouth left and right to look for food.
The mother was not around and there was no milk, so Yun Muye took out the bottle and a bag of milk powder that he had prepared in advance. He didn't know how to make the milk because the child had never drunk milk powder before.
Yun Muye opened the notebook again. There was a page that explained how to make milk powder. First, boil the bottle with hot water. Yun Muye put the child on the crib, poured hot water on the bottle, and then opened the notebook again.
Yun Muye discovered that the notebook had very detailed records, including how to raise and what to eat until the child was two or three years old. There was nothing more after that.
"Does this mean that you will come back after the child is two or three years old?"
Yun Muye's eyes flashed with hope that could not be ignored. This little hope could keep him going until Gu Zhinian returned home.
Little Tangyuan was so hungry that he couldn't wait any longer and started crying again, his voice hoarse. Yun Muye coaxed him while making milk powder.
"Be good, baby, don't cry. Daddy will make you some milk powder right away."
Following the instructions on the notebook, Yun Muye successfully made the milk powder and picked up little Tangyuan. As soon as little Tangyuan touched the silicone pacifier, he turned his head away crying, closed his mouth and refused to drink. Yun Muye could only put the bottle in hot water first, picked up the child and coaxed him softly.
