Bei Shuo was speechless. She pushed the cake towards Mu Yao and said softly, “Eat. Eat more.”
Mu Yao bit her fork and rolled her eyes at her. “Is this pity?”
Bei Shuo rested her chin on her hand and sighed. She looked at her and said, “Do you need it?”
Mu Yao shook her head. “Of course not, but if you can accompany me more out of pity, I still need it.”
Bei Shuo smiled helplessly. “Why do you like me so much?”
Mu Yao sighed and imitated Bei Shuo. “Other than you, I can’t find anyone good, right?”
Seeing that Bei Shuo didn’t understand, she counted with her fingers. “My parents are busy earning money and loving each other. I have two brothers who are related by blood. One of them is like me, who has today but no tomorrow. The other fools around. I have a grandfather who doesn’t like me either. Tell me, who else is there?”
Bei Shuo had to admit that what she said made sense.
Such a young child could see the people and things around her clearly. To her, it was probably a form of sorrow.
Bei Shuo rubbed her head. “Alright, I’ll reluctantly spend more time with you in the future. I can even cook delicious food for you! I’ll let you try my cooking. I guarantee that you’ll like it!”
Mu Yao’s eyes lit up. “Really? The dumplings you brought me last time were very delicious. Can you make them for me again?”
Bei Shuo smiled. “I’ll bring you your Brother Mu Ci’s leftovers next time!”
Mu Yao pouted and glared at her. Bei Shuo was overjoyed.
Mu Yao said seriously, “There’s another reason why I like you!”
Bei Shuo was all ears.
“You don’t spoil me and don’t treat me carefully. I feel very disappointed when I see the pity in others’ eyes,” Mu Yao said bluntly.
Bei Shuo tapped her little nose. “How pretentious! I won’t give in to you! Since I was young, others have always given in to me! I don’t have any experience raising children. If you want to be with me, you have to listen to me! I don’t like disobedient children!”
Mu Yao tilted her head. “Another reason is that you’re stupider than others.”
Bei Shuo’s face darkened. “Why don’t you stop liking me?”
Mu Yao laughed.
Bei Shuo also laughed.
After eating and drinking her fill, Bei Shuo sent Mu Yao back to the ward. Only then did she realize that no one had looked for Mu Yao after she left for so long.
Bei Shuo was taken aback. “Didn’t your mother accompany you to the hospital?”
Mu Yao frowned. “Seriously! It’s your first day knowing me. Do you know her? Of course, there’s no one to accompany you. I chased the nanny away. I’m used to being alone. Is everyone going to the afterlife alone? What’s wrong with getting used to being alone early?”
Bei Shuo was speechless. She gave her a thumbs up. “You’re right! You’re a philosopher! Then what do you think we should do? Should I stay here with you? Or should you get used to someone first?”
Mu Yao grabbed her and immediately put on a smile. “Sister-in-law, accompany me.”
Bei Shuo glanced at her. “Hmph! Isn’t it a little too late to wheedle now?”
Although she said that, she still helped Mu Yao onto the bed and settled her down.
Mu Yao couldn’t help but yawn. Bei Shuo said, “You must be tired. Sleep for a while.”
Mu Yao held her hand. “Are you going to leave after I sleep? Are you looking forward to me sleeping now?”
Bei Shuo patted her hand lightly and said deliberately, “That’s right! You’re so annoying!”
Mu Yao smiled happily. “Little Sister-in-law is the best! I hate people who coax me against my will the most. Alright, I’m really tired. I have to sleep for a while. Help me call the nurse in. I want to get an injection, take medicine, and sleep!”
She leaned against the pillow and twisted around.
Bei Shuo watched as the nurse put Mu Yao on an intravenous drip. She slowly closed her eyes and took a deep breath before leaving.
Bei Shuo went to the nurses’ station to check on Mu Yao’s medical record. The nurse handed it to her without asking. She said softly, “Mu Yao doesn’t have a good temper. Her family is always very careful. I’ve never seen her so happy and smiling. Can you come and accompany her often?”
Bei Shuo took a deep look at the nurse and didn’t answer her question. She pointed at the medical record and asked, “Her current treatment plan uses western medicine, right?”
The young nurse nodded in confusion.
Bei Shuo didn’t say anything. She closed the medical record and said goodbye, ignoring the nurse’s hesitation..
