Xiao An woke up because she was hungry.
After experiencing an awakening and not eating anything, she had exhausted most of her energy, and her empty stomach finally couldn't take it anymore because there was no energy to replenish.
The morning light streamed through the window, scattering its brilliance across the floor.
Feeling her small hand touch a warm, large hand, Xiao Anman's long, curled eyelashes trembled slightly. Then she opened her eyes and looked in the direction where Gu Tingxiao was.
“Daddy…”
Gu Tingxiao was light-sleeping and woke up when he heard Xiao Anman's voice.
"An'an, are you awake? Are you still feeling unwell?"
Gu Tingxiao placed the back of his hand on Xiao Anman's forehead to check her temperature. After confirming that her temperature was normal, he felt a little relieved.
"I don't feel bad~"
Her fair face was still sleepy, and her pink lips, like rose petals, were slightly pouting.
"Does An'an remember how she got back?"
I still remember Xiao Anman: "An older brother brought me back."
Brother? Where did this brother come from?
"Is it someone Daddy knows?"
Xiao An blinked her big, bright eyes and spoke in a cute, childlike voice. She didn't know if her daddy recognized the older brother.
"Where did An'an meet that older brother?"
Gu Tingxiao, who was extremely worried that his precious An'an had been deceived, really couldn't figure out where this strange older brother had come from.
"The blue house over the little hole in the kindergarten."
While speaking, Xiao Anman didn't forget to touch her hungry stomach with her little hand.
Yes, Xiao Anman usually stays at home or with me. If it weren't for that incident, she probably wouldn't have had the chance to meet someone like that.
Gu Tingxiao wanted to ask Xiao Anman why she hadn't told him, but seeing Xiao Anman touching her stomach, he realized that the person who took Xiao Anman away might not treat her well, and it was very likely that she hadn't eaten yet.
Is An'an hungry?
Hungry, extremely hungry, seeing that Gu Tingxiao had finally gotten to the point, Xiao Anman jumped out of bed.
"I want to eat!"
Her longing, soft voice was so heartbreaking.
She could have anything she wanted, even the stars in the sky, and Gu Tingxiao would pluck them for her, let alone the stars.
"Dad had someone send some over for you. What would you like to eat, An'an?"
"Baobao (steamed buns), rourou (meatballs), and, and mini wontons~"
In her excitement, Xiao Anman could only think of this much.
Seeing Xiao Anman's regretful expression after saying these words, Gu Tingxiao felt a little better and tapped her little nose.
"Okay, send them all over to An'an."
"Can't we go home and eat?"
Xiao An's delicate little feet stepped on the clean white sheets. She didn't really like this place, which was filled with the pungent smell of disinfectant.
Gu Tingxiao sent a message to the people waiting outside, asking them to prepare some food according to what Xiao Anman had said.
I didn't expect to hear Xiao Anman's question right after I sent the message.
"An'an is not fully recovered yet and will need to stay in the hospital for a few more days. Don't be afraid, Dad will be here with you."
Her body?
Xiao An touched her face and body with her little hands, but there was nothing wrong with her.
After touching her own body, Xiao Anman didn't forget to look at Gu Tingxiao with her adorable big eyes.
It means, "Daddy, I'm fine, I can go home now."
"Then An'an, why don't you stay here with Daddy for a few days?"
Looking at her tiny, angelic little dumpling, Gu Tingxiao's heart melted. He didn't want to explain the dark and complicated side of her to Xiao Anman.
Hmm, Xiao An stretched out her little hand and put it to her mouth, gently biting her thumb.
She sucked on her thumb, her big, dark eyes darting around, and then asked uncertainly, "Daddy, are you sick?"
She knew this was a hospital, and only people with health problems would be here. So why did her father need to stay in the hospital?
"Yes, Dad isn't feeling well."
Gu Tingxiao felt a sense of relief seeing the conflicted and worried look in her eyes.
How can poop get sick?
An'an doesn't want her dad to get sick.
Xiao Anman leaned close to Gu Tingxiao, raised her little face, and blew on Gu Tingxiao's cheek: "Painful Feifei, Daddy, don't get sick."
This is what Teacher DouDou said to comfort a kindergarten child who had fallen down.
Xiao Anman memorized it after only seeing it once.
The warm breath brushed against her face, and after blowing on Gu Tingxiao's cheek, Xiao Anman didn't forget to reverently wipe it with her little hands.
Who could bear to tell such an adorable little angel that all of this is useless?
Gu Tingxiao looked at her sincere little face, his eyes filled with emotion.
"Yes, with An'an by his side, Dad will get better soon."
"That nest is with Daddy."
Xiao Anman no longer cared about the hospital; as long as it was to compensate her father, she was willing to do it.
"Knock knock—"
There was a knock on the door of the ward.
"Mr. Gu, your meal has arrived."
"Come in."
The staff below worked efficiently and quickly prepared the snacks and meals that Gu Tingxiao had requested in the message.
The table in the luxurious VIP ward was soon piled high with food.
"Come on, An'an, let's eat. Daddy will hold you."
Gu Tingxiao carried Xiao Anman to the dining table.
