Exhausted from crying, Bai Xiaoruo leaned on Xian Mingyu's shoulder and fell asleep again.
Her body is really too weak right now; she can only get more sleep to slowly recover her energy.
Xuan Mingyu gently laid Bai Xiaoruo down on the bed and covered her with the blanket again.
Hopefully, she can get a good night's sleep and stop having nightmares.
His clothes were soaked with her tears. Since he was going to stay here to take care of her anyway, he didn't need to change into a suit and rush out. With Annie and Gu Yao at the company, Xuan Mingyu could just treat it as a day off.
He changed out of his suit, took a set of casual loungewear from the closet, and went into the bathroom.
When Xian Mingyu came out after taking a shower, he saw Bai Xiaoruo on the bed turn over, her back to him, her shoulders trembling slightly.
She seemed to be crying again.
As Xian Mingyu walked over, Bai Xiaoruo quickly wiped away the tears on her face, sniffed, and huddled under the covers, not daring to make a sound.
In front of him, did she need to hide even when she cried, afraid that he would see her?
"It's not like I haven't seen you cry before. Cry if you want to, I won't laugh at you."
Bai Xiaoruo didn't speak, but pursed her lower lip. The scene at school yesterday kept flashing through her mind, and she was still feeling lingering fear.
When she opened her eyes and woke up, she saw the familiar room. She was finally home. Thinking about the grievances and bullying she had suffered at school, Bai Xiaoruo couldn't help but burst into tears. She thought she was really going to die and meet her mother in heaven. Fortunately, her wretched life was still alive.
She's really afraid to go to school right now.
I'm afraid to face those horrible people, afraid to relive those experiences, afraid to hear those curses again...
Bai Xiaoruo didn't know when Xian Mingyu returned, but with him in the house, she felt much more at ease.
Are you hungry? What would you like to eat?
Bai Xiaoruo cautiously glanced at Xian Mingyu, then quickly lowered her eyes again. She dared not speak, dared not push her luck in front of him.
Since she wasn't going to say anything, Xuan Mingyu didn't have much patience to coax her. He turned around and prepared to open the door and leave. His action startled Bai Xiaoruo, who quickly threw off the blanket. Ignoring the wound on her thigh and the fact that she hadn't fully recovered her strength, she wanted to run towards him, not wanting him to leave.
She was scared, truly scared.
Whenever Bai Xiaoruo is alone, she thinks of the terrifying scenes in her dreams, and she really can't overcome her fear.
She was so weak that the moment her feet touched the floor, her legs gave way and she collapsed to the ground in a disheveled state.
The sound behind him made Xian Mingyu stop in his tracks. He turned around and saw Bai Xiaoru lying on the ground, unable to get up for a long time. He walked over and helped her up, feeling both helpless and a little angry. "You're not fully recovered yet, why are you in such a hurry to get out of bed?"
Bai Xiaoruo gripped his arm tightly, her eyes filled with expectation and pleading. "Don't go, please, even if it's just for a little while, I just want a little while."
"I didn't say I was leaving. I was hungry and went downstairs to make something to eat."
Xuan Mingyu picked Bai Xiaoruo up from the ground and put her on the bed, but Bai Xiaoruo refused to lie down obediently and wrapped her arms tightly around his neck.
"No! I don't want to lie here! I don't want to be here alone!"
"Bai Xiaoruo, don't think that just because you're a patient you can boss me around endlessly." Does she expect him to hold her forever?
"Wherever you go, I will go with you. I don't want to be here alone."
Considering that she was still injured and had just recovered from her fever, Xuan Mingyu finally gave in to Bai Xiaoruo.
It's impossible to keep her hungry forever, so Xuan Mingyu put an extra warm coat on Bai Xiaoruo and then carried her downstairs.
After settling her down on the sofa in the living room downstairs, Xuan Mingyu turned and went into the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
It's 8:30 in the morning, and the sky is already bright.
Bai Xiaoruo was sitting on a sofa where she could see Xuan Mingyu's back as he was busy in the kitchen wearing an apron.
A warm feeling welled up inside me.
It really feels like a dream.
She never knew that Xian Mingyu could cook, and judging from his posture, he wasn't someone who had just learned; he already had a certain foundation in cooking.
Xian Mingyu carefully sliced the lean meat thinly, cooked some porridge, and as he recalled some past events, his movements slowed down.
He had promised Luo'er that he would only cook for her in his life, but now... he was busy taking care of Bai Xiaoruo.
Well, she's still a patient after all. They can't just send takeout in here, and going out to buy it is too much trouble. Besides, there are only the two of them in this house and no one else to take care of them... This is an exception only. Once she's healed and can walk again, he won't bother with her anymore.
After cooking the porridge, Xian Mingyu took the pot out.
The fragrant aroma of porridge wafted over, and Bai Xiaoruo, sitting on the sofa, swallowed hard. It looked delicious, and the smell made her quite hungry.
Xian Mingyu filled a small bowl and placed it on the coffee table in front of Bai Xiaoruo.
Bai Xiaoru pouted, looking at the bowl of seafood and lean pork porridge in front of her, which was loaded with ingredients. Even though Xuan Mingyu could cook, he always made her do it. She also did all the washing and housework by herself. Now it seemed that he was deliberately bullying her.
She carefully reached out to pick up the bowl of porridge on the table, but forgot that it was freshly served and still very hot. As soon as she touched the bowl, her fingers were burned, and Bai Xiaoruo quickly withdrew her hand.
