Capítulo 912: Chapter 912: The Second Time He Hugged Her
Even if his mom doesn’t care much about him, he’s still her son. She wouldn’t mistreat him, so it’s better for him to stay with his mom.
Leng Yan was silent for a moment and then said, “I already predicted that she’d want to get married. She told me when she came back that she’d probably be getting married soon, and she also said she’d take me with her…”
So he was afraid that following his mom and getting married would make him feel sad about leaving Xia Nuo, so he deliberately distanced himself from her, not wanting to crave her kindness towards him too much.
But he overestimated himself; he couldn’t refuse her kindness at all, and eventually fell step by step.
“I didn’t expect her to take me with her, but I didn’t think she’d send me to my uncle’s house, to let them take care of me. She knows full well that they don’t like me and treat me poorly… Xia Nuo, don’t worry about me. I won’t go to my uncle’s house under any circumstances. Living alone is still better than relying on others.”
“Yes, living alone is better. Wait, no!” Xia Nuo quickly corrected herself, “You’re still young, how can you do without an adult taking care of you.”
“I’ve been taking care of myself for years without any adults.”
His words successfully silenced Xia Nuo.
Xia Nuo didn’t dare make any promises to him, so she could only say, “If you really want to live alone, then my home is your home. You can come to eat at my house every day and just go back at night to sleep. Rest assured, my mom and dad won’t dislike or be unkind to you.”
Leng Yan looked at her emotionally, then suddenly rushed to hug her, burying his face into her neck.
This was the second time he hugged her.
The first time, she didn’t think much of it, just felt he was a wronged child unwilling to leave her.
But now being hugged by him again made her feel awkward.
Even though he was only nine, she wasn’t much older, just fourteen! Both were still kids, neither small nor big, understanding everything, so hugging felt a bit uncomfortable.
Xia Nuo awkwardly patted his back and laughed, “Okay, don’t act so spoiled, you’re such a big kid now. I’m still an injured person, don’t hold onto me all the time.”
Leng Yan didn’t hug her tightly, and after hearing her words, he reluctantly let go, still staring at her with his bright black eyes, unwilling to look away.
Xia Nuo thought, this kid looked just like a little pug begging for its owner’s affection.
Don’t be fooled by Leng Yan’s young age; he’s just a bit shorter than Xia Nuo now. He acts maturely and is strong, and when taking care of Xia Nuo, he’s even more attentive than Mrs. Xia.
So when Mrs. Xia had to go out, and Aunt Zhao wasn’t around, she was also comfortable leaving Xia Nuo in his care.
Mr. Xia still didn’t know about Xia Nuo’s accident. Mrs. Xia said she’d tell him after she was discharged. Mr. Xia was at his busiest time now, and if told, he’d only rush back and not be able to provide any help.
Xia Nuo had fractures in both her legs and her left arm.
Lying in the hospital bed every day wasn’t an issue; the problem was needing to go to the bathroom, which was the most inconvenient thing. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵※𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮※𝓷𝓮𝓽
Mrs. Xia was out, Aunt Zhao was at home cooking, and couldn’t come soon.
Xia Nuo was desperate but embarrassed to say anything since only Leng Yan was there, and she couldn’t possibly ask him for help.
Holding it in, she endured with determination, deciding to wait until Mom returned no matter what.
