Because of Xiao Yebai's incident, Yin Manqing had been ignoring the child she met on the top of Green Mountain. Now she happened to meet Officer Li and learned that the child was about to be sent to an orphanage. It seemed that she subconsciously couldn't bear to see the child's future. This is the fate, growing up alone and helpless in an orphanage...
"Officer Li, can you let us raise him for a while before he finds his biological parents? We will return him when his parents come to find him."
It's not that Xiao Yebai is missing. She wants another child to take Xiao Yebai's place. She just feels that this child who is separated from his parents is so pitiful. One day, she may even be able to find Xiao Yebai through this child. .
"As long as you are willing to do this, it won't be a big problem at that time. You and Mr. Shen can just go to our police station to go through the relevant procedures." Officer Li readily agreed. He didn't seem to want the child to be sent to an orphanage.
Yin Manqing's sudden idea was not discussed with Shen Ye in advance, but it was certain that Shen Ye would not disagree with her proposal. When he looked at Shen Ye, the calmness and certainty in his eyes seemed to support her idea.
He was always like this, no matter what, as long as she thought it was good, Shen Ye would never refuse.
Yin Manqing and Shen Ye went to the police station together to bring back the child they held in Green Mountain last time. He did not like to cry like Xiao Yebai. Even when he was taken back to Shen's house from the police station, the child did not cry or make fuss. Yes, she still wore Xiao Yebai's big red cotton-padded jacket from before. The bright red color seemed to sting Yin Manqing's eyes, which were red and painful.
"If our Xiao Yebai... has no choice but to be sold, I hope we can find a good family who can treat him well... At least until we find Xiao Yebai, Xiao Yebai can grow up healthily." Instead of that. Something unexpected happened.
Yin Manqing's words were still full of hurt, especially when she looked at the child in front of her. Her skin was wheat-colored, not as fair and smooth as Xiao Yebai's, but as cute as Xiao Yebai's.
"Yes, don't think too much. We, Xiao Yebai, are stronger and braver than anyone else, so nothing will happen to us." Shen Ye was convinced at this time, Xiao Yebai should be fine.
"Well, right, Ye Bai will be fine." Yin Manqing was helpless, her heart was suspended, and she couldn't find a place to rest. It seemed that as long as she couldn't find Xiao Yebai, her heart would never be able to find a support point... …
However, the arrival of this child more or less alleviated the discomfort and pain in Yin Manqing's heart. At least it distracted her from being immersed in Ye Bai's pain, making her unable to think too much. Now that she has taken on the responsibility of taking care of this strange child Yin Manqing wants to treat him as his own child.
He was obviously easier to take care of than Xiao Yebai, he didn't cry much, and he didn't cause much trouble to Yin Manqing. "Let's give him a name just like we did for Yebai." Yin Manqing asked Shen Ye for his opinion.
She was still a little unable to really live with Shen Ye as before, but because they had a child together again and they needed to take responsibility, it seemed that they were gradually beginning to unravel the knot.
Xiao Yebai's disappearance was not Shen Ye's fault, so how could she blame Shen Ye unreasonably? It was absolutely inappropriate.
"You are better at naming than me, I will listen to you." Shen Ye had no objection and said he would obey Yin Manqing.
"..." Yin Manqing thought for a moment, "Why don't we call him Xiaokang? I hope he can grow up healthily during this period of time in our family and nothing bad will happen to him."
As for the word "Kang", Yin Manqing also hopes that Xiao Yebai will be reunited with them soon...
Shen Ye nodded, looking at Xiaokang Dayou's sadness, thinking that when Xiao Yebai needed him most, he was far away in Chicago; but at this time, Xiao Yebai also needed his parents the most, and he and Yin Manqing He was not by his side either. Compared with the child in front of him, Xiao Yebai was even more pitiful. He was helpless and had no idea where he was and what he was going through.
"Xiaokang, Xiaokang, do you like this name?" Yin Manqing hugged Xiaokang. She didn't dislike him at all because he was not her own child. She even gave Xiaokang all the love she was going to pour into Xiaoyebai.
Yin Manqing could only hold on to firm hope that one day, Xiao Yebai would return to them, and Xiaokang would also find his biological parents...
Fu Wan and Shen Ziqi once again became frequent visitors to Yin Manqing's house because of Xiaokang's arrival. Each of them never gave up on Xiao Yebai. No matter how much time and energy they spent, they were bound to get Xiao Yebai back.
"Xiao Kang is easy to take care of. Why don't you take him to Chicago with Shen Ye, and Shen Ziqi and I will look for Xiao Yebai." Fu Wan suggested.
Hearing this, Yin Manqing's face darkened slightly. It was not that she had forgotten Shen Ye's physical condition, but she didn't want to go anywhere. She just wanted to wait here for news about Xiao Yebai and know the progress of finding Xiao Yebai as soon as possible.
"It's not an option to keep him here all the time. You can't just ignore everything just because you lost Xiao Yebai. After all, Shen Ye is the one you will grow old with in your life. No matter what your son or daughter is, you can't care about anything when you grow up." I still have to leave you, you can no longer care about Shen Ye's life or death."
Fu Wan spared no effort to "bring together" Yin Manqing and Shen Ye to get back together, but their current relationship is not as easy as the reconciliation after the quarrel. There is already a certain knot between them and Shen Ye. This knot Only Xiao Yebai's return can solve the problem, otherwise, it will exist between them from beginning to end, intruding on their relationship.
"I told him to go back to Chicago, but...he didn't listen." Of course, Yin Manqing was also worried about Shen Ye's health, but she couldn't get over it. You Qi seemed to have lost that intention.
"He doesn't listen because he can't let you go. He can't let go of Xiao Yebai. You have to find a way to make him let go. Otherwise, are you really going to lose Shen Ye too? By then, even if you regret it, it will be too late."
…
Fu Wan's persuasion again and again made her panic. She was already full of fear, but now she was even more frightened. After Xiaokang fell asleep, Yin Manqing felt that it was very necessary to talk to Shen Ye. No matter what, in Xiaoyebai Regarding the issue, she knew that it was unreasonable to make a fuss.
For a long time, Yin Manqing waited for Shen Ye to come out at the bathroom door, but found that he had been in for too long...
Suddenly, my heart was in chaos, "Shen Ye...open the door..."
She noticed something was wrong. Although there was still the sound of water rushing in her ears, the more she heard the sound, the more confused she became. "Shen Ye, open the door..."
She knew that Shen Ye was not in good health, but she still embarrassed him and blamed him. Thinking of this, Yin Manqing felt more and more uncomfortable. With Shen Ye's refusal to answer, her fear and strength increased sharply.
Just when Yin Manqing knocked on the door, the door between her and Shen Ye was finally opened. Behind the door was Shen Ye with water splashing all over his body, and there were water droplets sliding down from the tips of his hair, "You..."
"I fell asleep." Before Yin Manqing could ask, he lied and smiled stiffly.
Shen Ye's answer seemed to be hard for Yin Manqing to believe. For a long time, her eyes were fixed on him, and she looked at him carefully, as if she saw that he was lying, "Are you... okay?"
She stepped forward to hold Shen Ye's hand, but Shen Ye reflexively stepped back, unwilling to be touched by Yin Manqing, but still let her touch it. The cool feeling was instantly transmitted from her fingertips to Yin Manqing, "You are not feeling well. Really? No, it should be said that it is more uncomfortable, right?"
Shen Ye didn't look good, he was very pale, and even his lips were pale and bloodless. "It's just a cold, it's not a big problem."
He deliberately avoided contact with Yin Manqing, even if it was a look, he was afraid that one look would betray him...
"No, it's impossible. Your physical condition must have changed, right? It's more serious and uncomfortable than before?" She could see that there seemed to be hidden pain in Shen Ye's eyes, and Yin Manqing tightened his grip regardless of it. Shen Ye's fingers felt cool and cold, which made Yin Manqing even more horrified.
Fu Wan was right. She really ignored Shen Ye and ignored him on purpose. She knew that Xiao Yebai's matter had nothing to do with Shen Ye, but she still vented her anger on him. When she thought of this, the debts and guilt in her heart swarmed up, " sorry Sorry……"
Apart from saying "I'm sorry", Yin Manqing was too panicked to say anything else. She hugged Shen Ye's extremely cold body tightly. The temperature was like coming out of an ice cellar, and she seemed to be vaguely aware of it. The stiffness of Shen Ye's body was like a thread, and the stiffness poured out clearly.
"Go back to Chicago, go back to Chicago immediately for treatment. I'm here, and I will wait until Xiao Yebai comes back... Everything that happened before was all my fault, and I shouldn't have made unreasonable troubles with you..." Yin Manqing burst into tears, and her heart was filled with endless thoughts. Endless fear, worried that Shen Ye would leave her like Xiao Yebai, so what should she do then?
"I'll wait here with you, wait a little longer, until Xiao Yebai comes back. Maybe Yebai will know that we are worried about him and will reunite with us early." Even though Shen Ye clearly knew that his body was in serious trouble, There have been bigger changes before, but I can’t bear to leave Yin Manqing alone at this time. Yin Manqing’s emotional instability, coupled with Xiao Yebai’s departure, is actually very difficult to find in a short time. Shen Ye How can I go to Chicago alone and leave her here, "As long as you don't push me away, nothing will happen to me. My life is very tough, and Xiao Yebai will not disappear so easily like me." "
