Zheng Muyun spent a full 25 days in the ICU before her condition stabilized.
She suddenly sat up in bed.
Filled with terror, her eyes not yet fully open, her mind not yet fully clear, she let out a shrill cry, " Xiaoxi!"
She suddenly cried out.
It startled the person who was accompanying the patient in the ward.
The moment Zheng Muyun suddenly got up, Bai Zheming was wiping her dry lips with a cotton swab dipped in warm water. She suddenly sat up, and Bai Zheming was startled at first. Then, the cotton swab fell to the ground, and he trembled all over as he reached for the call button by the bedside.
"Mom!" Bai Zheming opened his mouth several times before finally managing to utter this word.
However, because of his intense emotions, his voice was so hoarse that he could barely speak.
Song Bai and his sister-in-law had just come in to deliver lunch to Bai Zheming when they saw Zheng Muyun suddenly get up. The sister-in-law excitedly turned and shouted towards the door, "Doctor! Doctor, come quick! Doctor!"
The commotion outside finally jolted Zheng Muyun out of her dazed state.
She turned her head and looked at Bai Zheming standing beside her. The moment she saw him, Zheng Muyun's tears streamed down her face like rain. " A-Ming!"
Just like the mournful cry for Xiaoxi earlier, she trembled as she called out to Bai Zheming.
He grabbed Bai Zheming and hugged him tightly.
Bai Zheming's tears flowed instantly. He reached out and hugged his mother's thin shoulders, "Mom!"
He used to call out "Mom" only in his dreams, when he was awake, on the anniversary of her death each year, or in the unbearable hours of the night...
After each cry, all that remains is an empty, uncomfortable feeling that climbs layer upon layer.
Only this once.
She called out "Mom!" and there was a response.
There was a response.
The doctor arrived quickly.
Seven or eight doctors gave Zheng Muyun a thorough examination after she woke up. After a flurry of activity, almost every doctor breathed a sigh of relief.
Ugh~
Now I can explain this to Boss Gong!
Eek~
You can get ten times your salary!
"The recovery is going very well, with almost no aftereffects." The attending physician reassured everyone, "As for the burns, we'll consider addressing them after the body has recovered for a while and the immune system has strengthened."
The doctors came in a clamor and left in a clamor.
After the doctors left, Zheng Muyun propped herself up on the bed and went to check on the people in the room.
With tears in his eyes, Song Bai called out as she looked at him, "Auntie, I'm Song Bai."
Zheng Muyun did not know Song Bai.
Song Bai added, "I'm Xiaoxi's friend."
When Zheng Muyun looked over, the eldest sister-in-law's face was streaked with tears, and she couldn't speak.
Zheng Muyun glanced at the two of them, then looked at Bai Zheming.
There is no Xiaoxi.
Where is her Xiaoxi?
As they were talking, the ward door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
Then came a cacophony of noise.
"Is Auntie awake?"
"I heard Auntie woke up? Is it true?"
Do you remember?
Zhao Jiayuan, Zhao Ke, and Gao Le rushed in from outside, asking questions one after the other.
Chen Chong and Feng Moshan followed behind.
Suddenly, a number of unfamiliar faces appeared in the ward, Zheng Muyun eagerly looked at each one.
There is no Xiaoxi.
Where is her Xiaoxi?
She clearly remembered that when she fell off the bed in the house, there was a noise in the yard, and a boy spoke, saying that his name was Xiaoxi, the "Xi" in "stream".
It's her Xiaoxi.
She tried to climb out and stop the Xiaoxi from eating the osmanthus cake.
Where is the Xiaoxi?
Where is her Xiaoxi?
Did you eat osmanthus cake?
No.
No, A-Ming loves his younger brother so much. If something happened to his brother after eating the osmanthus cake, A-Ming wouldn't be so calm here.
wrong.
The two girls she met outside the convenience store that day saw Xiaoxi's face on their phones. Xiaoxi was there; her name was Jiang Mingxi.
How could Xiaoxi be named Jiang Mingxi?
Her Xiaoxi's surname is Bai.
Did A-Ming lose the Xiaoxi?
Just as countless thoughts were crashing into Zheng Muyun's mind, Zhao Jiayuan jumped forward with a joyful expression.
"Hello, Auntie! Auntie, you're finally awake! My Zhao Jiayuan, and I'm Xiaoxi's best friend!"
Before Zhao Jiayuan finish speaking, Zhao Ke shoved him, yelling, "Get lost!"
Then he grinned at Zheng Muyun and said, "Auntie, my Zhao Ke, and I'm Jiang Mingxi's best friend."
Gao Le said firmly, "Auntie, my name is Gao Le. I'm not Xiaoxi's best friend; in fact, I've hurt him."
Beside her, the sister-in-law, who had been crying her eyes out, was made to burst out laughing by Gao Le's words, and in the process, she even blew out a snot bubble, which smeared onto Song Bai's suit.
"Auntie is so beautiful. No wonder Xiaoxi is so pretty; she took after you. She's only slightly less beautiful than me," Zhao Jiayuan sweetly, leaning in and saying nice things.
Zhao Ke, not to be outdone, said, "I'm very good-looking too."
Feng Moshan and Chen Chong stood behind, wanting nothing more than to step forward and cover their mouths.
Zheng Muyun's thoughts were scattered and disrupted by these three words, leaving only one thing: Xiaoxi was still there.
These are all Xiaoxi's friends. Everyone they talk about mentions Xiaoxi, so they must be Xiaoxi's very close friends.
Then her Xiaoxi must still be perfectly fine now.
But where is the Xiaoxi?
Just as things were getting chaotic, the ward door opened again.
" Muyun!"
Bai Jinghan rushed in from outside.
Everyone made way for him.
The moment the couple locked eyes, hot, heartbroken tears welled up in Zheng Muyun's eyes.
Bai Jinghan two steps forward, grabbed Zheng Muyun's hand, and cried as well, her voice trembling, "You're awake."
Zheng Muyun nodded, " Jinghan, I remember everything! We're not from Qin Family Village!"
Upon waking, Zheng Muyun was anxious to find Xiaoxi, but seeing Bai Jinghan, she realized she needed to tell the truth. She turned and grabbed Bai Zheming's hand, exclaiming, " A-Ming!"
Bai Zheming patted his mother on the shoulder, "Mom, we know. Su Zhang Lin has been arrested by the police, and Bai Zhonghui has been arrested too. They've both been arrested."
Those culprits who caused their family twenty years of misery have all been arrested.
Bai Jinghan envy, then broke down in panic, "What should we do? I haven't remembered yet!"
Knowing that the person had been arrested, Zheng Muyun breathed a sigh of relief and comforted Bai Jinghan, "I know you're anxious, but don't worry."
Zhao Jiayuan wholeheartedly agreed, "That's right, Uncle, after all, it's understandable to be anxious; you're just worrying yourself!"
Zhao Ke immediately chimed in, "Uncle, don't worry, they shouldn't disown you just because you don't remember them."
Chen Chong:...
Feng Moshan:...
As they were talking, Feng Moshan's phone rang; it was Song Lan calling.
Feng Moshan glanced at Zheng Muyun and Bai Jinghan, cleared his throat, and answered the phone, "Hello? What? You and Xiaoxi are coming over now? Are you asking if we agree?"
Bai Zheming looked at Feng Moshan, completely bewildered: What's going on? What do you mean by agreeing or not?
Feng Moshan, holding his phone, ignored Bai Zheming's gaze and looked only at Zheng Muyun and Bai Jinghan, " Xiaoxi said she wants to visit you two, is that alright?"
Bai Zheming:...
no.
What exactly are they doing?
Playing with abstract concepts?
