Xia brought in hot water, and Xuan Mingyu told her to leave, forbidding her from coming in without his permission.
He soaked a towel in hot water, wrung it out, and then wiped Bai Xiaoruo's hands and face again.
Her little face was sticky and covered in tear stains, her nose was red, and her eyelashes were wet, all signs of crying. Her appearance was so pitiful.
I just heard from my grandfather a few days ago that she was crying, and I never expected to see her standing on the overpass today, almost trying to kill herself.
If they hadn't happened to be passing by the overpass at that moment, or if Annie hadn't seen her, and if she had really jumped, where would she have found an exact replica of her?
He was really terrified by her.
What's wrong with her lately?
Was Ji Ziqian really treating her badly?
If that's the case, then he'll do anything to get her back! Regardless of whether she and Ji Ziqian really have an ambiguous relationship, he won't hand her over to that kind of guy again.
He gently stroked her fair face with his large hand and sighed helplessly.
Little Ruo'er, do you still blame me in your heart?
I've also tried to forget you, to be indifferent, and to stop caring about anything related to you...
But as it turns out, when I see you unhappy, hurt, or wronged, I still can't help but want to care about you.
Even if you never forgive me in your entire life, it doesn't matter. I just want to keep you by my side, to belong to me alone.
We always give up on each other easily because of impulse, but in the end, we still slowly come together again.
Perhaps this is not our final ending.
Little Ruo'er, can I have you again?
Wait a little longer, wait for me.
Once I've dealt with what I'm dealing with, I'll take you away from Ji Ziqian.
Wherever you want to go, I'll go with you. I'll change whatever you don't like about me, as long as you come back, as long as you still have me in your heart.
***
The family doctor examined Bai Xiaoruo and found that she had fainted due to excessive dehydration and exhaustion. Her fever was caused by excessive grief, which weakened her constitution and caused insufficient blood and qi.
Fortunately, it was just a slight fever, nothing serious. It went down after an IV drip, but I still need to take some medicine after waking up.
Xuan Mingyu checked the time. The doctor said she would wake up around this time. He got up and went downstairs to prepare some light food for her. She needed to replenish her strength so she could recover faster.
When Bai Xiaoruo woke up groggily, her head still ached a little. She rubbed her head and slowly sat up in bed.
Where is this? How did she get here?
The surrounding area is decorated with various cartoon and cute patterns, and there are children's toys, strollers and cradles all over the place.
Bai Xiaoruo's heart skipped a beat.
If her baby were still alive, all these things would come in handy.
Unfortunately... she wasn't fortunate enough to keep that child.
I remember standing on the overpass, crying my heart out, feeling terrible. Suddenly I thought I heard Sister Annie's voice. She hugged me, and I thought she was going to commit suicide... Then I saw Xian Mingyu, who held me tightly in his arms.
It felt like a dream, yet so real.
Could it really be him?
Is he still here?
Bai Xiaoruo lifted the blanket, slowly walked to the door, turned the doorknob, and went downstairs, only to find that the layout here... was the new courtyard!
Did he bring her here?
The kitchen was filled with a strong aroma, and Bai Xiaoruo felt hungry.
Who's cooking something delicious?
She slowly walked to the kitchen doorway and discovered that tall, familiar figure was busy working in the kitchen with his back to her.
He was wearing a light blue cartoon apron, and the rich aroma of porridge wafted out from the kitchen.
He tasted a little with a small spoon, and only served it when it was flavorful enough.
Bai Xiaoruo's eyes welled up with tears again as she looked at the scene before her.
In the past... he often cooked delicious food for her, and this was his back view... They were also busy in the kitchen together, wearing two cute cartoon aprons, and they worked together quite well.
But now... now it's different...
As Xian Mingyu turned around with the porridge he had just finished cooking, he was somewhat surprised to see Bai Xiaoruo standing at the door with red eyes and on the verge of tears.
She woke up.
Why are you crying again?
He avoided her gaze, carried the porridge, and walked past her.
The porridge was placed on the table.
Bai Xiaoruo was still standing there, stunned and at a loss.
He rubbed his hands together nervously.
She was afraid that he would hate her again and want to drive her away, just like he did last night.
Or... it's that embarrassing, forceful kiss again.
Xuan Mingyu walked up to Bai Xiaoruo, his expression indifferent, making it impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry. "This is some porridge I cooked for you. Eat a little bit, and remember to take your medicine after you finish. I've put it next to you. Then, you can leave."
He knew she didn't want to see him, but she had to eat this bowl of porridge, even if it was just a bite or two. She had a stomach problem and couldn't go hungry.
He turned to leave, but Bai Xiaoruo reached out and grabbed his sleeve. Tears that had been welling up in her eyes for a long time finally streamed down her face. "Thank you."
She was genuinely grateful to him.
Even at a time like this, they are still willing to lend her a helping hand.
He raised his hand and gently wiped away her tears with his fingertips. "Don't cry, go and eat something. I'm leaving."
