"Thank you. When she wakes up, I will definitely let her try your craftsmanship. You have worked so hard these days."
"Mr. Yi, you don't have to be polite. If you need anything else these days, just tell me."
"Thanks."
Mrs. Zhang turned around and went out to wait. At this time, Yi Xiangxi waited on the child and prepared to eat. The child was excited, "Dad, is Sister Mai really going to be discharged from the hospital?"
"Yes. The doctor said there is no big problem. What's wrong? Xiaobai, Sister Mai is fine, you should be happy."
"But...will Sister Mai want to leave after she gets better?"
He felt a pain in his heart, and saw a little nervousness and worry on the child's little face, timidly: "Sister Mai gave me all the bankbooks... Dad, I'm afraid that Sister Mai won't want me again after she is discharged from the hospital..."
"Silly boy."
He felt sour, put down his chopsticks, took the child's hand, and said seriously: "Xiaobai, dad will never let Sister Mai leave you. Don't worry, dad will let Sister Mai stay."
"But Sister Mai doesn't like dad. If you keep her, she will quarrel with you."
It’s really shameful. I have failed so many times that even my children have no confidence in themselves.
"Dad, what will happen if Sister Mai really wants to leave? I don't think she will listen to dad..."
He smiled with confidence: "Didn't Xiaobai teach dad how to do it?"
"What can I do?"
"Silly boy, have you forgotten? You said that if dad treats Sister Mai the same way he treats Xiaobai, Sister Mai will like dad."
"But, but...Dad, are you giving a gift to Sister Mai?? I'm afraid Sister Mai won't want it."
"Sister Mai doesn't want it today, but she will want it in the future. If Sister Mai doesn't want it once, dad will give it to her a few more times, and then he will give it to her every day, won't Sister Mai want it?"
The child clapped his hands and laughed happily: "Okay, okay...Dad, that's great...Dad, what gift are you giving Sister Mai today?"
He smiled mysteriously: "You will know when Sister Mai wakes up."
The window was open, and a bush of roses was coming from the edge of the window. Although it was a ward, there was no unusual smell, but a faint elegant fragrance.
Qiao Xiaomai slowly opened his eyes.
"Sister Mai...Sister Mai...Sister Mai is awake...Dad, Sister Mai is awake..."
A pair of soft little hands touched her face, so warm. She instinctively held the child's little hand, as if it had been lost. Her voice was hoarse, but she gently called her: "Xiaobai... why didn't you go?"
study?"
"Sister Mai, the winter vacation isn't over yet...school doesn't start until tomorrow..."
So that was it. She had been lying on the hospital bed all day, turning morning and night, day and night. She was about to say something, and in the blink of an eye, she saw a pair of strange eyes - really, those eyes were so strange: it seemed like a smile but not a smile, but it was burning.
An indescribable feeling of strangeness - just like being spied on by a boy in the next class as a girl.
She was startled for a moment, and then she realized that the man opposite had put on a new suit of clothes, with a neat white shirt, and a clean shave. He was beaming with joy. He didn't look like he should be in this ward, but as if he was going to the ward.
Like an emperor or superstar attending some grand banquet.
The child followed her gaze and understood, and immediately burst into laughter: "Dad, you are so handsome today."
Yi Xiangxi's face suddenly turned blood red. When he looked at Qiao Xiaomai, he suddenly looked away and said in a panic, "Wheat... Xiaomai... are you hungry?"
