Chapter 99, Update 99
Ninety-nine:
"Then go now." Ye Qingxi pressed her advantage, "Don't go alone, find someone to go with you."
"This..." Qin Luan hesitated. Going now was fine, but who should she ask to go with her?
Mu Zheng is still abroad, and her brother is also busy.
At this hour, everyone else has just finished a long day, so she felt embarrassed to let anyone accompany her.
Seeing the troubled look on her face, Ye Qingxi quickly said, "I'll have Uncle Li go with you. That way, if you're not feeling well, you can sit in a chair and wait. Uncle Li will help you register and get the medicine."
He figured Qin Luan should go alone, because he was afraid she'd only check a few things and then come back once she felt it was enough.
That won't do.
Ye Qingxi thought that since she was going to the hospital, she should have a full-body check-up.
If there are no problems with the stomach, what about the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys?
Is everything alright?
He must nip the potential for terminal illness in the bud so that Qin Luan's life may be prolonged.
With Mu Zheng absent, Li Wei is the most suitable candidate.
Mu Shaoyan is younger than Qin Luan and they are not familiar with each other. If Qin Luan feels it is unnecessary and does not want to undergo any examinations other than gastrointestinal examinations, Mu Shaoyan, as Mu Zheng's younger brother, cannot force her to do so.
But Li Wei was Mu Feng's assistant, and he accompanied her. Even if Qin Luan felt it was unnecessary, she would obediently complete the other examinations out of respect for Mu Feng's status as an elder.
Moreover, he is now quite familiar with Li Wei, and Li Wei treats him well.
So all he had to do was tell Li Wei that he wanted Qin Luan to have a thorough full-body check-up, and Li Wei would definitely help him get all the necessary appointments for Qin Luan!
When Qin Luan heard him say that, she felt that he was really thoughtful for his young age, even knowing that the patient might be uncomfortable and needed someone to accompany and help with the registration.
That's so thoughtful.
She was just about to say that she would go after he and Qin Cheng finished eating the cakes and Li Wei took him home.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, he heard Qin Cheng's surprised voice, "Dad!"
Mu Zheng is back.
Qin Luan was surprised, "Why is he back so early? Wasn't his flight supposed to be tomorrow?"
"He must have missed you and your brother~" Ye Qingxi said with a smile. "My dad missed me, so he came back early."
Upon hearing this, Qin Luan laughed, "Then your uncle will be very happy to see you. He likes you very much and is always talking about you at home."
Ye Qingxi felt a little embarrassed after hearing what she said.
Really? Mu Zheng still talks about him at home.
However, now is not the time to be shy; the most urgent matter is Qin Luan's health.
So Ye Qingxi changed her mind and said, "Since Uncle is back, let Uncle accompany Aunt to the hospital."
Qin Luan shook her head, "Your uncle just got back, and he flew back from abroad. He must be very tired. Let him rest. Li Wei can come with me."
Ye Qingxi felt that this wasn't the right way to put it.
For Qin Luan, there was a high probability that her examination would reveal problems. At this time, Mu Zheng's presence by her side would provide her with comfort and strength.
Similarly, as for Mu Zheng, he is Qin Luan's husband. If Qin Luan has a health problem but he didn't notice, he would definitely blame himself and feel guilty. At this time, if he stays at home to rest while Qin Luan goes for a check-up, it will be fine if the test results are normal, but if there is something wrong, he will definitely regret not accompanying her and feel even more guilty.
“You can have Uncle Li come with you. Aunt, you’re not familiar with Uncle Li, so it might be awkward to talk to him. If you get scared at the hospital, you might feel embarrassed to cry in front of him. But you can cry in front of your uncle, so your uncle should go too,” Ye Qingxi said, trying to sound innocent.
Qin Luan: ...
Qin Luan simply had no idea what was going on in his little brain.
How could you think of so many things?
Both of them make a lot of sense.
Although she didn't think there was anything seriously wrong with her body—stomach aches are something many people experience.
However, she wasn't familiar with Li Wei, and being alone with him inevitably made her feel awkward.
But wouldn't this be too tiring for Mu Zheng?
Qin Luan couldn't bear it.
As she was thinking, Qin Cheng pulled Mu Zheng in.
"Dad, Xiaoxi came to our house to play today," he said happily.
Ye Qingxi turned around, smiled at Mu Zheng, and said, "Hello, Uncle~"
Mu Zheng walked closer to him and rubbed his head. "It's rare for you to come over, so stay a little longer. If you don't want to leave later, you can stay the night. It's perfect, you can sleep with your brother."
Qin Cheng nodded in delight.
He's never slept with Ye Qingxi before!
Ye Qingxi thought to herself that they could indeed sleep together, but not here, but at the Mu family's old residence.
After Mu Zheng and Qin Luan went to the hospital, he took Qin Cheng back to his grandfather's place. Otherwise, Mu Zheng and Qin Luan would be worried about Qin Cheng being alone at home, and he would be worried about him too.
"Uncle, I have something to tell you." He grabbed Mu Zheng's hand. "It's a secret, come with me, I'll tell you quietly."
Qin Cheng: ? ? ?
Qin Cheng asked, puzzled, "What kind of whispers? Can't I even hear them?"
"It was a private conversation between my uncle and me," Ye Qingxi said gently.
Qin Cheng: ...
Qin Cheng became even more curious.
Mu Zheng found it amusing and, following his movements, was pulled out of the kitchen and into the living room.
He bent down and said gently, "Is there something you want to tell me?"
Ye Qingxi looked back to make sure Qin Cheng hadn't followed her out before whispering, "Uncle, why don't you take Aunt to the hospital? She's not feeling well. She didn't eat much while we were eating and kept rubbing her stomach."
Mu Zheng was startled. "Was it during your dinner tonight?"
Ye Qingxi nodded, raised his hand and rubbed his stomach. "Right here, she kept rubbing it. My brother asked her what was wrong, if she was feeling unwell, and my aunt said no, but I saw that she only drank a bowl of soup and ate some vegetables."
Mu Zheng listened, watching him rub his stomach with his small hands.
Ye Qingxi is only five years old, and Qin Cheng is only seven years old. For them to notice that she is not feeling well, it must be because Qin Luan has already shown obvious signs of discomfort.
He immediately agreed, "Okay, I'll take her to the hospital right now."
“Okay. But Uncle, please don’t drive,” Ye Qingxi said, worried that he had just returned from a flight and might not be able to handle it. “I’ll have Uncle Li come over and drive you there. Uncle, you just stay with Aunt and don’t overwork yourself. Otherwise, if Aunt gets sick, you won’t be able to take care of her.”
"At that time, my brother will be very sad by himself."
Mu Zheng: ...
Mu Zheng felt a pang of heartache as he listened to these words that were completely out of character for a child his age.
The reason Ye Qingxi was able to say these things was simply because he had experienced them himself.
He accompanied Ye Min to the hospital, took care of him at his bedside, and worried about him day and night. Therefore, he was worried that Qin Luan would also die from a serious illness like Ye Min.
He was also worried that if he overworked himself, not only would Qin Luan fall ill, but he would also fall ill, leaving Qin Cheng just like him back then, all alone and helpless.
Mu Zheng gently hugged him and said, "Don't worry, your uncle will take good care of himself and your aunt. We'll all be fine."
Ye Qingxi nodded. He thought to himself that he must be well, and that his whole family must be well.
Mu Zheng let go of him and said, "I'll go to the hospital with your aunt. You and your brother go back to Grandpa's. Don't tell your brother that we went to the hospital, okay?"
"Okay," Ye Qingxi replied.
Looking at his quiet and obedient appearance, Mu Zheng patted his hair and said, "So good."
“Then I’ll call Uncle Li,” Ye Qingxi said.
Mu Zheng nodded, "Call him and ask him to come pick you up. Your uncle has his own driver. I'll call him and promise I won't drive or get tired, okay?"
"Okay." Ye Qingxi nodded again.
He called Li Wei.
Mu Zheng then contacted his driver.
After they finished talking, the two returned to the kitchen.
Qin Luan was putting the washed dishes back in their place, and Qin Cheng was helping her.
Mu Zheng walked over, took the bowl from Qin Cheng's hand, and put it in the cupboard himself.
"Xiao Cheng, would you like to go to Grandpa's house with Xiao Xi tonight?" he said. "Dad just got a phone call and has to go out. I'm taking your mom with me this time, and I might not be back until tomorrow. I'm worried about you being home alone. Xiao Xi is going back soon, so would you like to go back with him?"
Ye Qingxi exclaimed excitedly, "Yay! Then I can sleep with my brother!"
Before Qin Cheng could think things through, Ye Qingxi's cheerful words interrupted his train of thought.
He turned to look at Ye Qingxi, whose eyes crinkled with a smile. "Brother, do you want to sleep in my dad's room with me, or in your dad's room?"
Qin Cheng replied without hesitation, "Of course it's my dad's room."
"Okay," Ye Qingxi agreed, "Then I'll sleep in your dad's room tonight."
Qin Cheng laughed.
Listening to Mu Zheng and Ye Qingxi's back-and-forth banter, Qin Luan thought to herself that the two of them were quite well-coordinated.
But this is for the best. She suddenly left to go to the hospital for a check-up, which would take at least several hours. It was indeed worrying to see Qin Cheng alone at home. Now that he and Ye Qingxi are going back to the old house together, no matter whether the results of her check-up are good or bad, Qin Cheng can have a pleasant night, which is good.
"Then go pack what you want to take. You and Xiaoxi will go back to your grandfather's house later," Qin Luan said gently.
Qin Cheng didn't want to bring anything; his grandfather's house had all his belongings, so he didn't need to bring anything.
The only thing he needed to bring was the felt doll Ye Qingxi had given him at noon; he wanted to bring it along to show his grandfather.
However, the felted wool figure was already in his backpack, so he only needed to carry his backpack.
"Mom, the scarf," Qin Cheng suddenly remembered, "the scarf you gave Xiaoxi."
"Yes." Qin Luan quickly wiped her hands. "I almost forgot about this."
She went back to her bedroom and took out two already knitted scarves from the closet.
The scarf is white with very fine stitches, and cute white pom-poms hang from both ends. But that's not the main point. The main point is the corners at the ends of the scarf, where a chubby golden spotted kitten and a golden shaded kitten are embroidered.
Ye Qingxi exclaimed, "Wow! It's cotton candy!"
"Here you go." Qin Luan handed the scarf with the golden kitten pattern to Ye Qingxi. "Xiao Xi, try it on and see where it needs to be altered. Xiao Cheng, try it on too."
Ye Qingxi quickly wrapped the scarf around his neck. His skin was fair, and the large white scarf made his skin look even whiter and more delicate, like a glutinous rice ball wrapped in coconut flakes.
"So cute~" Qin Cheng couldn't help but pinch Ye Qingxi's cheek.
It's so soft.
Qin Cheng couldn't resist pinching it again.
Ye Qingxi: ...
Ye Qingxi raised her hand to pinch him, but Qin Cheng dodged it, preventing her from pinching him.
Ye Qingxi: ? ? ?
Ye Qingxi is determined to get him now!
He stretched out his short arms and kept trying to grab Qin Cheng, but Qin Cheng was much more agile than him and he couldn't grab him even once.
Ye Qingxi: ? ? ? !!!
Ye Qingxi's eyes widened, looking like an incredulous kitten.
Mu Zheng and Qin Luan couldn't help but chuckle.
Qin Cheng thought he looked even cuter now.
However, he was just teasing Ye Qingxi and didn't want to make him angry, so he moved closer to Ye Qingxi and offered his face.
Without hesitation, Ye Qingxi raised her hand and pinched it twice.
So soft and delicate.
The child's face is so soft!
Ye Qingxi finished kneading and then gently rubbed Qin Cheng's handsome little face.
Feeling his gentle touch, Qin Cheng raised his hand and gently rubbed his still-chubby cheeks.
Ye Qingxi: ? ? ?
Ye Qingxi: ...
Ye Qingxi silently withdrew her hand.
Qin Cheng didn't pull back, but continued to rub with great interest.
Ye Qingxi: ? ? ? Is it really that easy to knead?
Mu Zheng and Qin Luan found their intimate interaction heartwarming and adorable.
"Thank you, Auntie," Ye Qingxi said, turning her head.
"Don't mention it." Qin Luan laughed. "I'll knit you a pair of gloves in a few days, so you can wear them and play in the snow when it snows."
As Ye Qingxi listened, she felt somewhat moved for some reason.
No one has ever knitted gloves for him before.
Not only gloves, but also sweaters and scarves were missing.
When he was a child, most of his classmates wore sweaters knitted by their mothers. Some were very nice, and some were not so nice, but they were all knitted by their mothers.
Ye Qingxi looked at it and wanted it too.
So he told his mother about it when he got home.
But his mother refused, saying, "It's too much trouble. Don't you have a sweater?"
“Jun Jun said that Mom’s knitting is different.”
“What’s the difference? They’re all knitted from yarn.” His mother advised him, “You’re going to school, not to compete with others. Those are the ones whose mothers don’t want to spend money to buy them things, so they knit them themselves. Unlike me, I’m so willing to spend money on you.”
"Then Mom, don't spend money on me," Ye Qingxi said softly. "You can knit me one too, I want to wear a sweater knitted by Mom."
"I told you it's the same, why are you so stubborn! Alright, go do your homework. Did you memorize the lines I asked you to memorize? Recite them for me."
Ye Qingxi nodded and obediently began reciting her lines.
The scarf around my neck is warm, the yarn is soft, the pom-poms are cute, and the specially crocheted kitten is thoughtful and unique.
After many twists and turns, he finally got his own hand-knitted sweater and scarf, and gloves that were about to arrive.
Although it didn't come from my mother, the tenderness hidden in every stitch is the same.
Ye Qingxi touched the scarf around his neck and looked at the little cat whose name was practically written on it.
He liked it very much.
He likes everything he has now.
Therefore, no matter what, he would not allow Qin Luan to die.
The ending from the book must not be repeated.
