[Recommended vote, recommended vote, recommended vote, I don’t believe you can pretend to be blind when you write it like this...biting your handkerchief with tears in your eyes]

"You can go." Mingzhu stretched out her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, her hoarse voice revealing her stubbornness, "What happened back then had nothing to do with my godmother. It was just my fault. I don't need you to make up for my guilt! Ling Xi, go!"

Ling Xi's body froze. Compared to Xiao Zimo's words to drive him away, Mingzhu's every word at this moment seemed like a knife stabbing his heart!

"Mingzhu..." His thin lips trembled for a long time but he didn't know what to say. How to explain the thoughts of those young people?

"Ling Xi, I don't need your sympathy, and I don't need you to compensate me like this!" Mingzhu clenched her fingers secretly, obviously feeling sad, she could only pretend not to be sad, just like when she was a child and knew that her father was not her father.

, knowing that you can't see it, pretending that nothing happened, pretending that everything is fine.

"Their entanglements of the previous generation have nothing to do with us. You are only sixteen years old and still very young. What you need is to be taken care of and protected, not to make compensation for your godmother." Mingzhu spoke calmly, with a dull look in his eyes.

Wandering in the air never landed on his face, and finally lowered his head in defeat, facing the quilt, "Tai Tai, to me, you are the only brother I want to truly love, no matter how long, you will always be. So, don't wait any longer.

Give up the last warmth in my heart, okay?"

Ling Xi didn't quite understand the meaning of her words, but the sad aura on her face made her heartstrings tugged hard, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.

There was no longer any sparkle of laughter in her peach blossom eyes, and the corners of her eyes were slightly moist. Her handsome face was now full of sadness and sorrow, but she couldn't see it and didn't know anything.

"I know." Ling Xi pursed her lips, her voice choked, and stood silently in front of the hospital bed. Her outstretched hand was only the thickness of a piece of paper away from her cheek. She froze in mid-air but still didn't know what to do.

How to touch her, she is so close yet so far away.

I don’t know how to touch it, let alone how to pull away.

Mingzhu, I want to do something for my mother, for you. I am approaching you with a purpose, but don’t you feel how I feel about you at all...

Don’t you really feel a little bit——

I like you.

Mingzhu didn't hear Ling Xi's footsteps or his words or breathing. When she slowly raised her head, Ling Xi's hand suddenly pulled away and fell weakly by her side.

His dim eyes slowly moved away from her cheek, and she turned around and stumbled out of the ward in despair.

Mingzhu heard the messy footsteps and the soft closing of the door, and the "squeaking" sound was like a hammer hitting her heart hard, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

Tears fell silently again, and this time she didn't even notice it.

Sorry, wait.

Actually I'm not angry, I really am not angry with you.

only--

Warm and beautiful you, you should not stay by my side, and you should not look at the darkness that is opposite to you.

He lowered his head slowly, and his tears silently dripped on the quilt one by one, soaking a large area. He was whimpering and choking like a wounded little beast, helpless and desperate.

Sadness and darkness are everywhere.

*****

Xi Mo stood at the door of the ward and opened the door without making any sound. Maybe she was crying too sadly so she didn't notice.

The curled-up ball was reflected in his eyes, with a balance of gloom and distress sliding through his eyes. His strong and powerful fingers clenched the cold metal, and the veins on his hands were looming. The sound penetrated his bones.

Ling Xi held a very special and important position in her heart. He didn't like this, he didn't like that she had other people in her heart besides herself.

He stood there for a long time and never disturbed her sadness and sorrow at the moment. He just let her be sad this time. After Ling Xi left, everything would be fine.

Mingzhu only suffered a bruise on her forehead. She underwent a detailed physical examination and found no problems. The doctor signed her approval for discharge after being hospitalized for three days.

Xi Mo stayed with her in the hospital for three days and then went to work on the wedding after picking her up from the hospital. Although he found a wedding company, he still wanted to do more for the once-in-a-lifetime wedding to avoid regrets.

Mingzhu woke up from her nap and went downstairs slowly. Now everyone in the family was frightened because of her injury. She didn't want Xiao Zimo to blame them anymore, so she could only be careful to avoid getting hurt again.

"Miss, you're awake, are you hungry? There are some biscuits I just made in the kitchen, would you like some?" Sister-in-law Rong said kindly.

Mingzhu nodded, "Okay, are there any more strawberry yogurt?"

"Strawberry yogurt?" Sister-in-law Rong was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly: "Yes, Miss, if you want some, I'll get it right away."

Mingzhu was sitting at the dining table eating afternoon tea. The biscuits made by Rong's sister-in-law were always delicious. She touched Ling Xi's favorite strawberry yogurt with her finger and took a hesitant sip. Her delicate brows immediately frowned.

"What's wrong? Doesn't it taste good?" Sister-in-law Rong asked with concern.

Mingzhu pursed her thin lips and smiled lightly, "It's too sweet." She didn't like eating too sweet things a long time ago.

Wait, you are still a child after all.

"I'm going to change the juice for Miss." Sister-in-law Rong said and turned around to leave.

"Change to coffee, the kind Momo usually drinks."

Sister-in-law Rong stopped and said, "Miss, drinking coffee is not good for your health."

"It's just a sip once in a while, it's nothing serious."

Sister-in-law Rong hesitated for a while before nodding in agreement, and went to the kitchen to make Mingzhu a cup of coffee that Xi Mo usually drank. The coffee beans originate from Italy, are freshly ground and brewed, and have a mellow aroma.

"Be careful of scalding." Sister-in-law Rong carefully placed the coffee cup in her hand and held her by the cup's ear.

Mingzhu lowered her head and smelled the faint bitter fragrance. She puffed her mouth slightly and frowned even more. The bitter liquid slid through her mouth and lingered on her lips and teeth. When she swallowed it, it was like poison in her throat, but it was rare after the bitter taste.

There is a hint of sweet fragrance remaining in the mouth.

"Miss, don't drink it if you're afraid of bitterness." Sister-in-law Rong said with concern, "Mr. Lan likes to drink black coffee. This one doesn't have sugar or milk. How terrible it is to drink."

"It's okay." Mingzhu smiled nonchalantly, then took a sip and tasted it carefully between her lips and teeth.

The servant came in from outside holding a box, "Sister-in-law Rong, someone just sent a courier, it's for the lady."

Sister-in-law Rong looked at the box, which was wrapped in exquisite wrapping paper and tied with a bright red ribbon with a beautiful bow. "Miss, do you want me to help you unpack your express delivery?"

"Express delivery?" Mingzhu slowly put down the cup, "Who sent it?" Could it be waiting?

"I don't know, I didn't write the name." Sister-in-law Rong asked someone to put the box on the table and looked at it carefully, "The packaging is quite beautiful and delicate."

"Is it the pink packaging?"

"The wrapping paper is pink and the ribbon is bright red."

Mingzhu stood up and walked slowly to Sister-in-law Rong's side, facing the box, her eyes filled with soft light, "Could it be Tai Tai? Tai Tai likes pink the most, right?"

"Yes!" Sister-in-law Rong nodded, she had never seen a boy who liked pink more than Ling Xi.

"I'll open it myself." Mingzhu's eyes widened. If it was a gift waiting to be sent to her, she would definitely open it with her own hands.

Sister-in-law Rong stood aside and did not stop her. It was rare to see that the young lady was in a good mood.

Mingzhu fumbled and tore open the ribbon and the wrapping paper. She felt the tape end under Sister Rong's hand and gently tore it open. She opened the box with both hands. She was still thinking about what gift to give herself later.

The moment the small box was opened, all the blood drained from Rong's face and she was so trembling that she couldn't even speak.

Mingzhu hadn't noticed anything strange yet, so she reached out and touched inside, "What is it? Sister-in-law Rong?"

"Little, little, Miss..." Sister-in-law Rong's lips were trembling, and she wanted to hold Mingzhu's hand, but her body was so stiff that she refused to obey her orders.

Mingzhu's hand slowly went into the box...

Lianlian had just come downstairs and her eyes fell on Sister Rong's pale face. When she saw Mingzhu's hand reaching for the box, she immediately started running and screamed: "No..."

Mingzhu was startled and before she could react, her hand was snatched away by Lianlian and she was pushed back. She staggered back a few steps and almost fell to the ground. She had no idea what happened.

"Hiss." Lian Lian let out a painful sound. Shen Yin looked at the two red teeth marks on his hand, and his innocent eyes looked at the snakes coiled up in the box full of snakes, spitting out red blood, which was eerie and terrifying.

"Ah...snake..." the servant who walked in screamed and ran away in fear.

The snake in the box has begun to crawl out...

Upon hearing [Snake] Mingzhu's face instantly turned pale, her eyelashes trembled slightly, thin beads of sweat oozed from her forehead, and her body was so stiff that she couldn't even move.

Sister-in-law Rong was panicking and speaking incoherently: "What should I do? There are so many snakes..."

"Bring Mingzhu upstairs quickly, is there any sulfur at home?" Lianlian covered her hands, her pure eyes looked at them nervously at this moment, no one could be calm and rational.

Fortunately, I studied medicine with my aunt and once experimented with snakes. From the initial fear, I have calmed down now and am not afraid at all.

"Yes, yes, in, in the kitchen..." Sister-in-law Rong spoke stumblingly.

"Take her upstairs quickly." Lianlian said, already running towards the kitchen.

Sister-in-law Rong reacted and immediately supported Mingzhu, "Miss, come up, go upstairs."

Mingzhu still didn't respond, her face was ashen, and she was almost dragged upstairs by Sister-in-law Rong, stumbling, her clothes were soaked with cold sweat, and she was cold.

The snake in the box crawled out nimbly and moved around, crawling to the sofa, crawling to the kitchen, crawling to the stairs, crawling to the door...

Lianlian rummaged through the cabinets in the kitchen looking for sulfur, and finally found two bottles of sulfur wine, and saw a kitchen knife. She took it out without any hesitation, walked to the door of the kitchen and saw a slender snake. She raised the knife and dropped it, and chopped off the snake's head in a clean and neat motion.

When I saw several snakes crawling towards the stairs, my eyes darkened. I immediately ran over and chopped off the snake's head with a few blows. I immediately sprinkled sulfur wine on the stairs, turned around and quickly went upstairs.

Mingzhu was pushed into the room by Mrs. Rong and fell to the ground, like a soulless puppet, unaware of pain and without any consciousness.

Lianlian immediately sprinkled sulfur wine on the door and window of the room, quickly closed the door and windows, so that no matter how many snakes could crawl into the room.

Looking back at the stunned Sister-in-law Rong, she frowned and said, "Quickly call A Mo and Uncle Xiao and call the police..."

Sister-in-law Rong came to her senses and quickly went to find the phone...
