How could they remain calm when someone they valued so much was almost harmed?
Xiao Yuqin went straight to the hospital and personally watched over and protected Xia Lan and Qin Yu.
Qin Yu and Xia Lan looked at Xiao Yuqin, who was on guard, and they didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
However, from then on, they also learned what it felt like to be loved and cared for. They realized that Xiao Yuqin and Qin Jun had been showing them care during this time, and they weren't made of clay; how could they not feel their hearts?
"Mom, I want to go home and rest."
Qin Yu glanced at Xiao Yuqin, who was peeling apples for him and Xia Chen.
He turned his head away and said it casually.
Xiao Yuqin was peeling an apple for Qin Yu when she suddenly heard Qin Yu's words. Startled, she slashed her hand and cut her finger with the knife.
Fortunately, the knife wasn't very sharp, otherwise a piece of skin would have been sliced off.
"Ah! It's bleeding!"
Xia Lan was startled and quickly grabbed Xiao Yuqin's fingers, tightening her grip around them, causing drops of blood to fall to the ground.
Qin Yu was startled. He immediately got up, leaning on his cane, went to the door, and shouted out.
"Nurse!"
Xiao Yuqin was lost in thought. Even though her fingers were bleeding, she couldn't feel the pain. Her mind and eyes were filled with Qin Yu.
"What...what did you just call me?"
She couldn't believe what she had just heard—words she thought she would never hear in her life…
Did she hear that?
Seeing Xiao Yuqin, who disregarded her own injuries and only cared about him calling her "Mom," Qin Yu's heart was touched.
As Xiao Yuqin waited expectantly, he slowly opened his mouth.
"mom!"
"Hey!"
Xiao Yuqin answered, her voice choked with emotion.
"You're injured, don't get agitated."
Qin Yu looked at his finger, which was bleeding again, and said nervously.
"I...I'm fine, it's just a little blood, it's nothing."
Xiao Yuqin smiled, glanced at her wound, and smiled broadly.
"If it weren't for this wound, how could I have heard that 'Mom'?"
"..." Qin Yu and Xia Lan looked helplessly at Xiao Yuqin, who was grinning foolishly.
I never knew that calling someone "Mom" could cause them to lose their sense of pain.
Soon Xiaochun arrived with the items. When she saw that Xiaoyuqin's hand was bleeding, she was startled and quickly put a tourniquet on her finger and bandaged the wound.
"Is she alright?"
Xia Lan and Qin Yu asked nervously.
"It's nothing, just a bit deep. Be careful next time, and don't get it wet for a few days!"
Xiao Chun earnestly instructed Qin Yu and Xia Lan.
"Did you hear me? Don't cook for the next couple of days!"
Qin Yu looked at Xiao Yuqin, who was still grinning foolishly, with a helpless expression.
"Hey, hey, hey! Okay."
Xiao Yuqin nodded happily; anyone who didn't know better would think she had encountered something wonderful.
Seeing Xiao Yuqin like this, Xia Lan chuckled.
"Well, Mom's definitely in a great mood today!"
"Lanlan is right, I'm in such a great mood today! My son finally called me 'Mom'! I thought I'd never hear that again!"
As Xiao Yuqin spoke, her eyes reddened, and tears streamed down her cheeks.
Her alternating laughter and tears left everyone wondering whether she was happy or simply weeping with joy.
Qin Yu could feel the heartache in Xiao Yuqin's heart, and he stepped forward to hug her tenderly.
Xiao Yuqin was held in Qin Yu's arms, and tears streamed down her face as she released all the emotions in her heart.
Qin Yu looked at Xia Lan helplessly, truly unsure how to handle a woman's tears.
Xia Lan looked at the flustered Qin Yu and smiled as she gestured to teach him what to do.
Following Xia Lan's words, Qin Yu gently patted Xiao Yuqin's back to comfort her.
Xiao Yuqin leaned against Qin Yu's chest, tears streaming down her face, but a slight smile played on her lips as she closed her eyes to feel her son's tenderness.
Xia Lan watched the mother and son leaning against each other and stood aside with a smile.
It wasn't until Xiao Yuqin calmed down that she felt embarrassed.
With a slightly flushed face, she shyly let go of Qin Yu.
"I'm so sorry to have made you laugh at me."
Xiao Yuqin said shyly.
She's such a grown woman, yet she still needs her son to comfort her.
"I...I'll go out and call your dad."
I'm so sorry, Xiao Yuqin took the opportunity of making a phone call to leave the ward.
Actually, it wasn't just Xiao Yuqin who was embarrassed; Qin Yu was also embarrassed, scratching his hair.
Xia Lan chuckled and walked up to Qin Yu.
"Brother Yu, how are you feeling?"
Qin Yu pulled Xia Lan into his arms and leaned on her shoulder.
Sensing that Qin Yu was also unable to calm down, Xia Lan hugged him and comforted him.
It was the first time he had ever hugged his mother on his own initiative. He couldn't quite describe the feeling—was he embarrassed, or...? He smelled a scent that made him feel very at ease.
The taste of mother.
After leaving the ward, Xiao Yuqin immediately ran to call Qin Jun.
"What's wrong? Comrade Xiao Yuqin, you rarely call me at this time. Did something happen?"
On the other end of the phone, Qin Jun's teasing laughter came through.
"Qin Jun!"
Xiao Yuqin shouted excitedly.
"Hmm, what's wrong? What happened to make you so agitated?"
Qin Jun was taken aback when he heard Xiao Yuqin's usually calm voice so excited, and asked seriously.
"Yu'er called me Mom!"
Xiao Yuqin choked up again as she spoke.
Upon hearing Xiao Yuqin's words, Qin Jun paused, thinking he had misheard.
