Today was another sleepless night. Lying in bed, looking at the stars outside the window, thinking about the other side of the world…that guy who made her feel uneasy.
He wondered if she had gone back. Would he still be there alone? Was she hungry again? Would she catch a cold on such a cold night? The sky was already so dark. Would she be afraid of being alone?
Her cries and her words," I'm afraid…" lingered in his ears for a long time, unable to be erased.
Unable to bear with his wild thoughts, he finally got up and climbed over the wall, walking towards the forest…
He recalled how her appearance last night had disrupted his life. When he returned home in the morning, he was almost caught sneaking away. It was not easy to hide the injury on his knee. He could have ignored her, but he couldn't let go of her worries. He had been thinking about her the entire day. She was indeed a troublesome person.
It was already dark in the forest. Occasionally, a few street lamps would shine dimly. He searched everywhere for a long time but could not find her. He thought that she might have already gone back. Perhaps she was just like him, sneaking out for fun. After playing enough and getting tired, he went back.
She thought about how silly she was. She actually ran out to look for someone in the middle of the night because she was worried about her.
What expectations did he have for her?
Just as he was about to go back, he passed by the park's slide. It was a penguin-like slide, and the penguin's stomach was a small cave. She remembered that she had played here when she was young, but her mother had found out and scolded her harshly.
"It hurts ~~ Wuwu ~~ It hurts ~~ En ~~ Wuwu ~" A weak cry suddenly came from the small cave.
Ye Yi was shocked and realized that something was wrong. He quickly went into the small cave to find the source of the sound.
Under the dim light of the street lamps, Ye found a person curled up in a ball, his hands clutching his stomach, as if he was in pain. Night subconsciously judged that this person was the person she was looking for.
Without caring about anything else, he picked Xiaoling up and walked towards a well-lit place outside. He carefully placed Xiaoling on the bench from last night.
Under the light, Xiaoling's expression was a little distorted. Accompanied by her sobs, she cried out,"It hurts ~~ Boohoo ~~ It hurts ~~"
He turned around to look at Xiaoling. Her face was a little pale as she asked in a panic,""What's wrong? Where does it hurt? Where does it hurt?"
" Stomach…Wuuu…My stomach hurts…Wuuu…"
Without further thought, he carried Xiaoling and ran to a nearby clinic…
"Where is the doctor? Look at her, her stomach hurts.”She anxiously grabbed the nurse on duty at the counter and shouted.
"Little friend, don't be anxious. Follow me.”
The nurse brought Ye and Xiaoling into the emergency room. Ye sat in the waiting room worriedly because she was afraid of disturbing the doctor.
After about 20 minutes, the doctor was caught by Night to ask about Xiaoling's condition.
"How is she? What's wrong with her?”
"Don't worry, she's fine now. It was just a stomachache. Maybe he ate something dirty. He just had to be more careful in the future.”
Night heaved a sigh of relief." Thank you, Doctor.”
"You can take her back after you take the medicine.”
"Mhm, got it."
Ye returned to the lounge after taking the medicine. Xiaoling had been waiting there for a long time.
"Does your stomach still hurt?" She asked gently.
She shook her head."It doesn't hurt anymore, thank you ~~"
Night sighed helplessly." Why do you always give me trouble!”
Fortunately, he came out to look for her. Otherwise, what would happen if something happened to her? Every time he saw her, nothing good would happen. He was really looking for trouble for no reason. Why didn't he just abandon her? Seriously!!
"I say, how much longer do you want to play? Don't you know that others will be worried? Let's go…I'll send you back to the orphanage.”Ye Xin knew that as long as Xiaoling didn't return to the orphanage for a day, he couldn't leave her alone. The only way now was to send her back!!
"No one will worry. I don't want to go back!!”Then, he ran out of the clinic.
Although she was a little shocked by Xiaoling's reaction, she still chased after her. He wondered why she didn't want to go back. He suddenly thought of the first time he met her, when she was bullied by a group of older children. They even hugged him and said that he was hers. Could it be that he ran out because he was ostracized? This was highly possible…
Night found Xiaoling in the small cave. Because it was very dark, she could not see her current expression. He could only feel that her breathing was a little messy. It should be because she ran too fast.
" Xiaoling…" she called out softly.
Since she didn't get an answer, Night couldn't just leave Xiaoling alone. She sat down and waited for Xiaoling's reply.
" Everyone doesn't want me. No one loves me. I want to wait here for Daddy to come back. I don't want to go back," Xiaoling said after a long time.
Ye wasn't sure about Xiaoling's family situation, nor did he know if the father she was talking about would come back. However, the children who would go to the orphanage were all children whose parents had some problems. It was not appropriate for him to bring up other people's sad stories.
"But you're still a child. Do you have the ability to take care of yourself? How can you live alone outside?”
"I, I don't know." Xiaoling had never thought of such a thing. However, she had always had a belief in her mind that her father would come back to pick her up soon. She had to wait for him.
"Have you ever thought about what to do when you're hungry, sleepy, or run into bad people?”Night only had one motive for saying all these things, and that was to hope that Xiaoling would know how difficult it was for her to do so that she would return.
"I don't know…"
"In a situation like today, if I hadn't passed by, your stomach might have hurt to death.”Actually, he wasn't passing by, but that wasn't important anymore. Now, he had to make it sound scarier ~
" I don't want a stomachache…" Xiaoling said aggrievedly.
"Then go back!" There was hope…
"I don't want to!"
"..." This child was really stubborn. He said that he wouldn't understand at night. "Then I don't care about you anymore. I'm going back.”As he spoke, he was about to leave.
Night predicted that Xiaoling would grab him and tell him not to leave because she was afraid of someone. Then, he would be able to bring Xiaoling to the Welfare Institute.
Night deliberately slowed down her pace, but Xiaoling did not come out to stop her for a long time. If that was the case, his plan would fail and he would return to the small cave in exhaustion.
"Why are you like this? Aren't you afraid of being alone?”Night asked angrily.
" Afraid…" Her voice was very soft and trembling.
"Then why don't you go back?"
" I want to wait for Daddy…" She sounded like she was about to cry.
"..." The discussion went back to square one. There was no point in continuing the discussion. She couldn't bear to continue asking." Are you going to spend the night here?”Although the cave was well-sealed, the temperature was still a little high.
"Yes…"
Night had expected Xiaoling's answer. He had no choice but to do this for now. He would think of a way tomorrow.
"Come over?" Ye gave up and sat on the ground." You'll be cold if you're alone. Come and sleep."”
Xiaoling obediently crawled to Night's side and nestled in her arms. She fell asleep in a short while.
She looked at the person who was sleeping soundly. She was still wearing the coat that he had taken off for her last night. He was already dizzy from Xiaoling's actions. He had always done things with a beginning and an end. But now, he was helpless. The look of encountering a strong enemy ~~
Xiaoling snuggled uncomfortably in his arms. Night adjusted her position so that Xiaoling could sleep better. She hugged Xiaoling gently and fell asleep peacefully…
In the early morning, the first ray of sunlight shone on the ground. Night woke up…
Looking at the time, it was already time to go back. The butler would go to the room to deliver breakfast in the morning. It would be bad if he was discovered. She gently moved her head away from her lap and continued to sleep comfortably.
Night went to the convenience store as fast as she could and bought a big bag of delicious food. After sending it to Xiaoling, she went home. Although she was still worried, she could only come out at night to take a look.
