Switch

Watching the light white words flying past his daughter's head quickly, Ye Min felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

Although she didn't know what these words were, nor why they appeared, she had a good understanding ability. By guessing, she could roughly figure out the content of her daughter's conversation and realized that the world she lived in might not be what she knew in the past.

This world could be a novel, and her daughter was the protagonist.

As the protagonist, there will inevitably be some twists and turns in life, and the first twist her daughter encounters in her life may be the "mistake" revealed in the conversation.

No, that's not right. It should have been switched.

When her daughter was born, before she left the delivery room, the nurse handed the baby to Ye Min to see. She saw every change that happened to her daughter in the past few days.

So she was very sure that the person lying next to her was her biological daughter.

Just like what was said in the white font, if the baby was not taken away by mistake when she was born, it was even less likely that she would be taken away by mistake after she was admitted to the ward. So her daughter could not have been taken away by mistake, but was likely switched.

But these speculations were too fantastic. Even though Ye Min had formed an idea, he still found it hard to believe that they were the truth.

But if it wasn't true, how could she explain the words that appeared from time to time above her daughter's head? How could the person who sent those words know Meng Zheng's name? And confirm that they were siblings?

The occurrence of one coincidence may be a simple coincidence, but the occurrence of multiple coincidences can only mean that it is a fact.

Thinking of this, Ye Min sat up suddenly, wanting to find the doctor and nurse to tell them that someone wanted to switch the baby. But just as she sat up, she felt a pain in her lower body.

The pain was not severe, but it brought her back to her senses.

Based on those conversations, the only information that could be extracted about her daughter's adoptive parents was that the adoptive mother was over 30 years old, had been demoted, was financially tight, and had to live in a large ward after giving birth.

The name of the person, whether the substitution was done by the adoptive mother or father or by someone else, is still unknown. More importantly, her daughter is still with her.

The fact that her daughter was by her side meant that the person who switched the children had not taken any action yet. In this case, not to mention doctors and nurses, even if the police came, they would not listen to her and arrest anyone.

"mother?"

Ye Min came back to her senses and saw her son looking at her with a worried look on his face, hesitating to speak. Not wanting to make him worry, she curled her lips and said, "Mom is fine. Maybe she didn't sleep well last night and is a little dizzy."

As soon as he finished speaking, Liang Juan came in and said, "You just gave birth to a child, your body hasn't recovered yet, and you have to take care of the child at night, so of course you can't sleep well. So, I'll stay here tonight like before, and I'll help you share the burden, and you can sleep two more hours at night."

Influenced by his family environment, Ye Min has been strong-willed since childhood and does not like to ask others for help when encountering problems.

If she had not really had to, she would not have bothered Liang Juan to take care of her after giving birth. But that was the case. She let Liang Juan go home yesterday when she was able to get out of bed and walk.

If Ye Min hadn't seen those white fonts, he might not have wanted to bother Liang Juan.

But as soon as the thought flashed through his mind, Ye Min's heart skipped a beat.

She suddenly thought that switching children was not a trivial matter. Being discovered and thrown in jail was the lightest punishment. The person who did such a thing would definitely be extremely careful and would definitely think twice before taking action.

When is the right time to do bad things?

Definitely not during the day, and definitely not when there are a lot of people.

If it were her, she would definitely choose to do it when only the mother and the child are around and it is late at night and everyone is asleep.

And this is probably the main reason why her daughter has been able to stay safely by her side since she was born.

Although Liang Juan didn't get enough rest these days in order to take care of the mother and daughter, she is in good health. With her in the ward, the person behind the scenes must be concerned.

Although Liang Juan was not at home last night, the person who carried out the substitution might not have been well-informed or might have been more cautious by nature, so he did not act immediately.

If it is the former, the people behind the scenes will definitely receive the news during the day. Even if it is the latter, it will be enough to wait and see for a day and a night.

In other words, that person is likely to take action tonight.

Thinking of this, Ye Min no longer hesitated and said, "Then I'll trouble Sister Liang."

"Oh! You are just being polite. They say that a neighbor is worse than a distant relative. It is normal to help each other!" Liang Juan put down her lunch box and said, "Besides, we are not just neighbors. Your husband and my husband are comrades-in-arms. We have fought on the battlefield together and killed the enemy. We have a life-and-death friendship. It's okay for Lao Meng to be at home, but if he is on a mission and can't come back, would I still be a human being if I don't come to help?"

At this point, Liang Juan changed the subject: "Besides, I am not here to take care of you for nothing. The Women's Federation still pays me as usual. You know our unit. It sounds like an office job, so it should be easy, but in fact, it is common to be busy all the time. Coming to the hospital to take care of you and your daughter, I can still have time to rest. At work, I really can't stop for a moment. Compared to that, I am getting the advantage."

That being said, Ye Min knew in her heart that not everyone in the Women's Federation was willing to take on this job. Even if there were others who were willing to do it, they might not be as serious as Liang Juan.

Liang Juan said this just to relieve her from having too much psychological burden.

Ye Min was touched, but didn't say much. She just said, "I'm worried that if you stay, there will be no one to take care of the children at home."

"Don't worry, Director Li has arranged their three meals a day. If you don't believe me, ask Xiao Fengzheng. They have been eating together at Director Li's house these days. As for sleeping at night, they wish I wasn't at home. When I came home last night, their faces were so droopy that I was so angry that I rolled my eyes several times on the spot! When I went out this morning, they also told me not to think about home all the time!"

Liang Juan said unhappily, "They don't want to be controlled by me, and I don't care about going back at night. I went back and packed a set of clothes, planning to stay here with you until you are discharged from the hospital."

Liang Juan was willing to take care of herself until she was discharged from the hospital, which was naturally what Ye Min wanted, so the matter was settled and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

But less than half a minute after she relaxed her tone, Ye Min saw her daughter's conversation start again:

[But I still can't figure it out. If the baby wasn't taken away by mistake when it was just born, how could it be switched? Looking at this situation, the heroine's mother is not without someone to take care of her.]

[Yes! And the child who was born three or four days ago has grown up. Wouldn’t the heroine’s mother be able to recognize the child after the child was switched? ]

[The original novel said that the heroine and the real daughter looked very similar when they were young, and there was no special mark on their bodies, so it was normal that the heroine's mother could not recognize her. As for why someone was taking care of the heroine and she was switched, it may be that the person who took care of her left the ward later, or it may be that the author did not consider these things when writing. The original novel talks about the real and fake daughters. If there was no switching, how would the plot continue? 】

[…In other words, the heroine can only be replaced? ]

[Of course, the plot was set when the novel was completed. What we are watching now is AI plot simulation, just like a novel adapted into a TV series, except that AI simulation does not require real-life interpretation, and the simulation is strictly based on the plot, there will not be any magical changes, so the plot should not change]

…

Ye Min doesn’t know what AI plot simulation is, and has never watched TV dramas, but she has read novels and watched model operas adapted from ancient or modern novels.

So even though she didn't understand the meaning of many words, she could guess their meaning and extract the key information.

First of all, this world should not be the novel world as she thought before, but some plot simulation world adapted from the novel. However, this is not important because the adapted plot simulation will follow the novel completely.

That is why those people on the subtitles say that the plot cannot be changed.

This realization made Ye Min, who had just thought she could protect her daughter because Liang Juan agreed to stay that night, feel chilled again. The world in her eyes seemed to have turned gray.

Afraid that Liang Juan and Meng Zheng would notice something was wrong with her, Ye Min tried her best to hold back her tears and looked out the window.

The weather was very good today, the sun was shining, and the sky was blue as if it had been washed by water, which made her think of the day she gave birth.

It is said that giving birth to a second child is easier than the first, but she didn't know whether it was because she was born half a month early or for some other reason, but this birth process was more difficult than the last time.

After being wheeled back to the ward from the delivery room, she felt somewhat exhausted.

In fact, physical fatigue was secondary. The most important thing was emotional devastation. Less than a month after she married Meng Cheng, he went to fight in a neighboring country. He never came back during her pregnancy, and he was not there when she gave birth. She even went through the confinement period alone.

She thought this pregnancy would be different from the last one, but despite all her planning, she was still alone when she gave birth.

Intellectually, Ye Min understood Meng Cheng. She had realized this when she agreed to marry him. But emotionally, she could not control her disappointment and sadness, and even had a hint of regret in her heart.

However, when she was pushed into the ward and saw the blue sky outside the window through the transparent glass and her child lying safely beside her, that trace of regret quickly disappeared, and was replaced by anticipation for future life.

And now, all those expectations have turned to ashes.

"Wow!"

It was not until the baby started crying that Ye Min came back to her senses from the pain. She saw Meng Zheng jump up from the stool in an instant, pointing at her daughter beside the bed and saying, "Mom! My sister is crying!"

"I'm hungry and want to drink milk." Liang Juan also stood up, picked up the child and asked, "Do you want to feed him milk or dissolve the high-dried powder?"

"Let me do it." Ye Min stretched out his hands.

Liang Juan responded, handed the child to her and asked Meng Zheng to leave.

Meng Zheng was young and didn't know how to breastfeed. He asked in confusion, "Why do you have to go out? Can't I watch?"

"Your mother is not able to feed him." Liang Juan dragged Meng Zheng away and told him after closing the door, "Call us when you are done feeding him."

Ye Min nodded, watched the door close, and then pulled up the hem of her patient gown.

The boy was indeed hungry. He swallowed the food in big mouthfuls. His cheeks were puffed up, and Ye Min couldn't help but have tears in her eyes.

What does she want to rely on?

Why should she accept such a fate just because the author wrote it this way?

If she had just accepted her fate, why would she have read those big books and tried every means to transfer to the factory bathroom after being assigned to the front line of the workshop?

If she had just accepted her fate, why would she have gone to such lengths to arrange a blind date with Meng Cheng when her stepmother wanted to marry her off to her good-for-nothing nephew?

Since she didn't accept her fate in the first place, why should she believe in the so-called predetermined ending now? If God wanted her to accept her fate, why did he let her take the initiative and know her future fate in advance?

Thinking of this, Ye Min raised her hand and wiped away the tears that were overflowing from the corners of her eyes.

She didn't care what the story of the novel was, or how the plot would change. She only knew that at this moment, the person she was holding in her arms was the daughter she had given birth to after ten months of pregnancy.

She will definitely protect her child and not let anyone steal her away!
