Because the Ling family members were all guarding the door of the ICU, and there were dedicated guards inside, Bai Jin didn't go over to see Ling Xiao all night.

But I didn’t sleep well at night.

Early the next morning, Bai Jin's mental and physical strength had more or less recovered. She got up and changed her clothes, forcing herself to be energetic and ready to go to the ward rounds.

After all, she has to be responsible for other patients.

Mu Chenxi also returned home.

I don't know if the two of them are up. I'm not worried about the older one, but I am very worried about the younger one. I'm worried that An An will stay in bed.

When she was almost home, she saw that the time was still early, just [-]:[-].

But it was too late to make breakfast when she got home. She bought some breakfast near the community before going upstairs.

At home

An An hugged Lu Jingnian and slept all night. Maybe it was because the hand felt different and he was not used to it, but he woke up very early today.

The first sentence he said was to find his mother, "Dad, why is it you? Where is my mother?"

"Your mother has something to do. Get up when you wake up." Lu Jinnian also stood up.

He was also a little unaccustomed to sleeping. This was the first time for him to sleep with a child in his arms, and it was still his son, and his mother was not here yet.

When the two went to wash up, they heard the door outside and someone came in.

There will be no one else but Mu Chenxi.

Lu Jinnian was worried that he didn't have toiletries, so he held down An An, who was about to rush out with toothpaste foam in his mouth, "Your mother is back, wash up quickly and then come out."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and left the bathroom, just in time to bump into Mu Chenxi entering the room.

Mu Chenxi put breakfast on the dining table, then went into the bedroom to change out of her cigarette-scented clothes and take a shower.

The two stood face to face and looked at each other. Mu Chenxi was stunned when she saw Lu Jinnian coming out.

He only had a bath towel wrapped around him, and he used her bath towel!

But Mu Chenxi thought that it was thanks to him that he could go to the hospital with confidence yesterday, and endured it without having an attack.

Lu Jinnian spoke first, very calmly, "I'm back."

"Well, An An is up?" Mu Chenxi didn't see An An on the bed, and was a little surprised that she didn't stay in bed.

"Get up, wash up inside." Lu Jinnian pointed in the direction of the bathroom.

"Oh, I'll take a shower first. I bought breakfast outside. You can take An An to eat later." Mu Chenxi nodded and didn't look at him, and walked in unnaturally.

"Wait a minute." Lu Jinnian called her.

"What's wrong?" Mu Chenxi stopped and turned to look at him.

It was hard for her not to look at those strong arms and abdominal muscles.

His eyes were a little erratic, and compared to the man's calmness, Mu Chenxi seemed a little embarrassed.

Lu Jinnian took in her expression completely, and the corners of his lips curved into a nice curve, "Do you have any spare toiletries at home? I just need a toothbrush."

"There are new ones in the second drawer of the bathroom cabinet."

After saying that, he took a nightgown from the closet and entered the bathroom.

Lu Jinnian followed her in.

When she entered, An An had already washed up and was applying children's cream. The good thing was that she was applying it, but the bad thing was that it was messy and greasy.

"Mom, where did you go last night?" An An's eyes lit up when she saw Mu Chenxi entering.

"Mom missed your godmother, so I went to find her." Mu Chenxi reached out and spread the uneven cream on An An's face evenly.

"Why don't you take me with you? I miss her too." An An jumped down from the tiptoe stool.

"I'll take you there next time. Let's go have breakfast. We'll have to go to school soon." Mu Chenxi fiddled with his hairstyle and instructed.

Lu Jinnian asked An An to go out and wait for him, then took out a new toothbrush from the drawer, found a disposable paper cup, and started washing.

Through the bathroom door, the looming figure inside made Lu Jinnian's eyes darken, filled with an unknown emotion.

After seeing off An An, when the two of them walked to the roadside, Lu Jinnian looked at Mu Chenxi as if he had something to say.

He cleared his throat, with a hint of probing in his tone, "My parents and grandpa know about your return and want to meet you...including An An."

Mu Chenxi knew that this was something she would have to face sooner or later, but she didn't expect it to happen so soon. She wasn't ready yet.

Mu Chenxi looked sideways at Lu Jinnian, his eyes a little bitter and his emotions a little complicated, "Can you wait a little longer and give me some time."

Lu Jinnian didn't force it, he responded easily, "Okay."

Mu Chenxi thought of the elders of the Lu family who had been very kind to her in the past. There was nothing wrong with her going to see them if business was not done in a righteous way.

But when she thought about her parents and Lu Jingwen, she hesitated a little. She used to think that they were only good to her because they simply liked her, but now she found that these good things were mixed with other things, which made her feel a little heavy.

Ling Xiao received critical illness notices three times in the past two days, and the Ling family's sky felt like it was about to collapse.

Bai Jin stayed in the ICU when he had time, even though Ling Xiao was unconscious most of the time.

He woke up once in the middle and was very weak. Looking at Bai Jin's pale and ugly face, worry and reluctance flashed across his face.

It has been seven years, and he is very aware of her emotional changes.

But he gradually began to retreat.

It's not that he doesn't love her anymore, he loves her too much, so he doesn't want her to waste time on him because his physical condition is destined to not be able to stay with her for a long time.

But Bai Jin is not a fool, she understands what Ling Xiao is thinking.

So she has been pretending to be stupid all these years, so that the burden on Ling Xiao's heart can be lighter, and she can be more relaxed when facing him.

Therefore, the two people's attitudes towards this relationship formed a tacit pattern.

In the past, Ling Xiao would occasionally say serious things in a half-joking way, "If you don't find a partner, won't you worry that you won't be able to get married when you get old?"

He really hoped that she would find a good home and have someone who could take care of her and rely on her when she was unhappy.

But Bai Jin would always reply, "It's up to you! Stop minding your own business, and I can still live a good life as a single person!"

What's more, she really had the idea of ​​​​living alone for the rest of her life.

Ling Xiao looked at Bai Jin and felt that she had lost weight again. Her face was as pale as paper. He weakly opened his mouth to say something, but his voice was soft and vague, "Stop guarding me. Go out and have a good rest." "

Bai Jin lay close to him, wanting to hear more clearly.

After hearing it clearly, her eyes were covered with mist, and her tone was as relaxed as possible, "I'm fine."

Ling Xiao gently twitched the corners of his mouth, and tried his best to make his voice louder and express his dissatisfaction, "The face is uglier than mine and the words are harsh."

Bai Jin said nothing, looked at him stubbornly, and gently squeezed his hand.

Ling Xiao frowned and didn't have the energy to speak, so he just stared at her helplessly.

Silence fell between the two of them again. Ling Xiao had no energy to speak, and Bai Jin was too heartbroken to speak.

After a long time, Ling Xiao couldn't hold on any longer. Seeing that Bai Jin still didn't leave, he moved his fingers slightly and touched Bai Jin's hand. He tried to speak again, "Always here,"

"are you free?"

"Are you so afraid that I will die?"
