Pei Yushen blinked blankly upon hearing the sound.
Although money was spent and legitimate consumption was made, the promises made day after day, without knowing when they would take effect, are just empty words.
"When you get better, Brother Yushen, of course you're doing well now, but it would be even better if you didn't get sick at all. Then we'll go to the grasslands and I'll teach you how to ride a lamb. I know how!"
As Pei Yu gradually came to his senses, he concealed the unease he felt from his earlier daze. His eyelids lowered, and his long, dark eyelashes suppressed the emotions in his eyes: "What if it doesn't get better?"
"It won't get worse!"
Chaochao was as resolute as a brainwashed recruit in a pyramid scheme, saying, "Brother Yushen, you can't just trust me; you also need to have confidence in yourself. I also know that you were injured and sick while saving someone—"
Pei Yushen suddenly raised his eyes and stared intently at Chaochao on the screen.
"Aunt Shu told me this when I saw you last time," Chaochao said, looking at the boy. Her bright black eyes seemed to say, "Why didn't you tell her this? Aren't we close enough?" Her voice, full of concern, was tinged with a hint of melancholy.
It seems she only knew about saving people, but didn't know the details, nor did she know that the person he saved that day was actually a boy she knew.
Pei Yushen's taut knuckles inexplicably relaxed a little.
He couldn't explain why he felt relieved.
After finishing her story, Chaochao went on to list some of Pei Yushen's good points, and finally concluded: "...So, Brother Yushen, you are a good boy, and God will treat good boys well."
The last sentence was spoken by Grandma Zhou to Chaochao when she was being bullied by other children her age in the yard. Grandma stroked her head and told her that God would treat every good child kindly, and if God hadn't come yet, then He was on His way.
It has been remembered by everyone ever since.
Now, she sends these words to her brother Yu Shen.
While comforting her brother, Chaochao suddenly felt that she was becoming more like a grandmother. Did that mean she was growing into a good adult? The little dumpling chuckled contentedly to herself.
When Grandma Zhou told the story, Chaochao was not even three years old.
Pei Yushen, who was sitting opposite her, was already fourteen years old.
For a fourteen-year-old boy, the label of "good kid" carries a strange sense of shame and a veiled irony—a good kid, a good kid who stabs a classmate in the neck with a fork...
Pei Yu opened his mouth, but ultimately didn't say anything more, turning his head slightly to avoid eye contact: "Where did you hear that from..."
The secret that he will definitely get better.
Chaochao hesitated for a moment and then lifted her chin.
Xiaoqi said their transaction just now couldn't be revealed...
The watch's camera suddenly turned and aimed at the starry sky.
"It was the stars in the sky that told me!"
A confident, childlike voice came from outside the camera's view. Recognizing the voice, the little dumpling chuckled and said something Pei Yushen didn't understand.
"It's a little star that was sent down."
That's her Xiaoqi.
The system in Chaochao's mind shuddered, as if struck by lightning, and stammered, "Chao... Chaochao..."
Chaochao mentally reassured the shocked Tongzi:
"I know you're not a bunny, Xiaoqi~"
The system, its identity exposed, nervously wringed its hands. "Waaah, it's all its fault for lying about being a little rabbit when it first arrived. Will my little one now think it's a big liar?"
"Chaochao, let me explain—"
"Little Seven, you're actually a star that Grandma sent down to keep me company!"
Chaochao made the decision with considerable certainty.
System: "I didn't mean to... huh?"
Chaochao earnestly explained her reasoning and firmly believed it: "Grandma said that after she left, she would fly up into the sky and then send you down from the sky. I guessed it, wasn't I clever?"
The system yielded: "...Yes."
Its origin is not important; what matters is her belief every day.
Having received a positive response from the system, Chaochao happily raised her chin. She knew it!
Grandma is right, God will treat good children well. Look, Xiao Qi is here! He brought her to her favorite daddy!
"Xiaoqi, you're family too, so you can't run away secretly."
"Waaaaah... Chaochao, how could I bear to let you run away? Waaaaah..." The system, already moved to tears, was sobbing uncontrollably that it wished it could materialize on the spot and hug its little one to cry its heart out, "Waaaah, my little one!"
How could 7017 have been so lucky to encounter such an angel baby right after graduation!
The little dumpling's head was buzzing from the system's unrestrained crying. Her little expression froze, and she couldn't help but wonder if this was how she used to cry.
"Chao Chao, how did you know I'm not a bunny?" the system asked expectantly, sniffing.
Chaochao rested her head on her hand, lost in thought: "Hmm..."
It's actually very simple.
After arriving at the grassland, she conducted on-site investigations and discovered that "baa" was the sound of a lamb, not a rabbit.
She spent a long time digesting her food by herself by the sheep pen.
The system, which had expected exciting crime-solving and deduction segments, remained silent: "?"
...
Pei Yushen originally took Chaochao's words as just a child's comforting words.
Until the next day, the blond, blue-eyed foreign doctor told them—
An alternative, effective drug has been developed, and clinical trials recently showed significant results. The State Food and Drug Administration officially announced the results at midnight today.
When Dr. Tomas told the couple the news, he was also incredulous. It was such a coincidence that the foreigner couldn't help but think of an old Chinese saying: "Heaven never seals off all paths."
However, Dr. Thomas, having seen it all, shook his head, muttered "incredible," and left the ward, leaving the overjoyed Pei couple and the boy who was about to undergo surgery alone.
Pei Luying forced himself to calm his ecstatic feelings, said something to his wife, and then went out to discuss the surgery with the other three doctors.
Shu Han's hands were still trembling, and her eyes were filled with tears. She hadn't expected that just when she was prepared to accept the despairing reality, she would suddenly be greeted with a glimmer of hope. She was still in a daze of extreme joy and sorrow.
She turned and looked towards the window.
Pei Yushen, sitting in his wheelchair, had been in a daze for a long time.
