Chapter 144 A Perfect Life
The magpie, pulled by the soft silk, continued to fall, fall...
Until she was gently placed on the soft, comfortable bed, until the quilt woven from sweet dreams buried her within it.
"Xin Que?" A kind voice sounded from above her head.
"Don't wake her. The child has finally had a chance to sleep in... Let her be." The woman's gentle voice stopped the man from waking her up.
"Xin Xin, remember to make sure your sister eats breakfast after she gets up later."
"good!"
The surroundings became quiet.
After a long while, she gradually regained consciousness.
Opening her eyes, the blurry world gradually became clear, and Xin Que stared blankly at the bed curtains above her head.
She threw back the covers and stepped barefoot onto the thick carpet beside the bed.
This is a small room that is not spacious, but it is nicely decorated.
"Sister," a woman's voice sounded from behind her, "you're awake?"
Xin Que turned around following the sound and met the eyes of the woman in uniform.
She is her half-sister.
"Mom left you breakfast and told me to make sure you finish it," Xin Xin said, making an exaggerated gesture of invitation. "Let's go, Miss Sick?"
Xin Que looked down at the needle marks on the back of her hand.
"Don't worry," Xin Xin seemed to see through her doubts and comforted her with a smile, "It's just cancer, your parents have already taken care of the high-end treatment for you."
"Just cooperate with the treatment, and you'll be discharged from the hospital once you've fully recovered!"
Xin Que's lips moved slightly.
She seemed to want to say something, but then paused and tightly closed her lips.
In the end, she simply raised her hand and made a gesture to Xin Xin.
【Thanks. 】
Everything here is normal.
"Sister," Xin Xin handed her a carton of warm milk, "after you recover, do you plan to stay with the Luo family, or go out and try your luck?"
"My parents worked hard as housekeepers in the Luo family their whole lives... It seems like the Luo family is still the best."
"This time, your treatment access was also granted to you by Mr. Luo using his name..."
Xin Que held the warm milk carton, sat in the chair, and looked up at Xin Xin, who was chattering beside her.
Do you want me to stay here?
Xin Que dipped his fingertips in water and wrote on the table.
Xin Xin leaned over for a look, "We all respect your opinion... this is a discussion."
Xin Que fell silent.
Everything here is normal.
Xin Que's half-sister seems to only have eyes for her, and she takes great care of Xin Que's feelings no matter what.
Everything here is normal.
Her father was loving, and her stepmother was gentle. In order to take care of Xin Que's feelings, she repeatedly asked her younger sister Xin Xin to take on more responsibility.
Everything here is normal.
The entire Luo family treated them very well. Because the father was a housekeeper, he was conscientious and had never made a mistake in decades, so the employers were willing to treat them as family.
Everything here is normal.
A day has 24 hours, sunrise and sunset, moonrise and sunset, everything runs steadily according to the established rules.
Everything here...
"Hey," the young man sat on the tree, his long legs swinging back and forth, leaning on the branches and looking down at Xin Que, his peach blossom eyes seeming to see right through her, "Why is she still mute?"
"Logically speaking, advanced treatment should be able to cure your muteness..."
Xin Que stopped, lowered her eyes, and bowed to the young man.
This is the young master of the Luo family, and also the savior who gave her the opportunity to receive treatment.
"It's been years..." The young man jumped down from the tree, his gray hair fluttering in the wind, and then the world spun around him.
Xin Que stared blankly at the silver earring on the young man's earlobe.
The sudden, pungent smell of grass that filled my nostrils was somewhat jarring.
The young man tackled her to the ground, then his captivating eyes locked onto her, his voice gradually losing its emotion, "Why haven't you learned sign language yet?"
Xin Que "..."
She lay on her back on the grass, seemingly without a temper, and pointed to her temple.
My brain doesn't work well, so I learn everything slowly.
The young man was taken aback.
"Too much trouble," he clicked his tongue. "How about I just find someone to buy you a new voice?"
Xin Que shook his head.
She doesn't deserve it.
It was lunchtime at the Luo family's house, and there wasn't a soul in the back garden. Only the two of them were in this empty space.
The young man leaned down and cupped her face in his hands, his breath hot. "Why don't you want it? Don't talk about qualifications..."
His voice grew softer, and the hook that had been teasing Xin Que's thoughts gradually slowed down, "Just tell me whether you want to or not..."
"Xin Que, whatever you want..."
Xin Que saw herself lying on the grass, like a piece of wood, expressionless, in his eyes.
The young man saw his own emotionless eyes reflected in Xin Que's calm, still eyes.
The air fell silent for a moment.
"Wooden block," the young man said with a look of disgust as he released Xin Que, crossed his arms, and looked down at her. "A wooden block without any emotions or desires."
Only after the young man's figure disappeared into the distance did Xin Que slowly get up from the grass and walk towards her room.
She took out her hidden diary from a small drawer—a little gift that Xin Xin had given her.
Xin Que picked up her pen and wrote the date on a new page, recording her feelings and experiences of the day.
Everything went smoothly today.
[She did not make any mistakes at work, and although her memory is still sometimes good and sometimes bad, her employers still take very good care of her...]
Xin Que carefully hid the notebook before leaving the table.
She should go and prepare for her afternoon work.
Whether it's cooking, gardening, or appliance repair... she will complete them all with diligence.
Although she's not very bright, she'll try her best to learn.
...
"Sister," Xin Xin said with a gossipy look, "the young master has feelings for you."
Xin Que slowly turned her head, holding gardening shears in her hand, trimming the protruding flower branches on the flower wall.
Seeing the confusion in Xin Que's eyes, Xin Xin felt a sense of helplessness, like talking to a brick wall.
"Are you really that dense..." Xin Xin said with a look of exasperation. "He offered to let you receive advanced treatment, and he even followed you around offering to change your voice... Can't you see his true feelings?"
Xin Que raised her scissors and snipped off a flower branch that hadn't grown according to the rules.
Everything here is perfect.
Loving parents, united sisters.
There was also the noble young master who doted on her, treating her like a lowly person.
There was no sudden downpour, no bleak autumn wind, and no raging blizzard...
Everything here is perfect.
A pair of hands reached out from behind and took the gardening shears from her hands. "Don't play with such dangerous tools..."
The young man stood behind her, his shadow enveloping her. "What if you get hurt?"
Xin Que looked up at the young man looking down at her from behind. Her hands were forced to go empty, and she froze in mid-air, not knowing where to put them.
Xin Xin's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
"You really like this servant?" The young master's scrutinizing gaze swept back and forth between the two men before he finally sighed and rubbed his forehead. "Do Mom and Dad know about this?"
The young man pressed her shoulders, forcefully making Xin Que sit on the sofa. "They can't change my mind."
As the dignified and elegantly dressed couple sat before Xin Que, the sun and moon completed another rotation.
The young man sat down beside her and noticed she was staring intently at the Luo family members. "What's wrong?" he asked.
A glimmer of light finally appeared in Xin Que's usually calm eyes, and she wrote a sentence in the young man's palm.
Will I join your family reunion dinner?
The young man's peach blossom eyes curved into a smile. "This is your first wish, and of course I will do my best to fulfill it."
Xin Que smiled too.
Everything here is perfect.
This will be the last sentence in that diary.
