that during the years she had her eyes closed, the entire world had undergone earth-shattering changes, and even her father, who loved her the most, had passed away.
The nurses here took very good care of Xu Yiyi every day, keeping the sheets and quilt covers very clean.
In this regard, Lin Xian was quite relieved; Zhao Yingjun was always very meticulous in handling matters, and she would definitely not mistreat Xu Yiyi.
Lin Xian paced around the room, occasionally making a bit of noise.
He knew that Zheng Xiangyue would probably be by herself next door at this time.
Bored, she would most likely come in if she had nothing to do.
If she didn’t come over after a long time, he could only go to the next ward to look for her and chat.
However, the thoughts of children are always easy to understand.
It didn’t take long before Zheng Xiangyue, her cute little face framed by long black hair, peeked in through the half-open door.
Presumably, after he had gone back yesterday, Zheng Chenghe had told Zheng Xiangyue his name, which she called out directly today.
“Xiangyue?” Lin Xian pretended to bump into her by chance, turned his head, and smiled:
“I came to see Yiyi, where’s your brother?”
Having met him just yesterday, Zheng Xiangyue wasn’t at all shy and walked in cheerfully:
“Normally, my brother goes to work during the day, and I stay in the ward alone…
Sometimes I come to chat with Xu Yiyi, but it’s all just me talking to myself.
She probably can’t hear me.”
“That’s hard to say.” Lin Xian turned his head to look at the calm Xu Yiyi:
“Who knows, maybe she can vaguely hear it, and one day if she wakes up, you two will instantly be good friends.”
Then, Lin Xian started to chat idly with Zheng Xiangyue.
Zheng Xiangyue had a serious congenital heart disease and had to be monitored at all times; therefore, she had never left the hospital for all these years, at most going downstairs for a stroll with her brother.
She wore monitoring equipment 24 hours a day, and Zheng Xiangyue proudly showed Lin Xian the devices on her body, saying she felt cool, almost like a robot.
Because she had no friends to chat with during the day, she became very talkative after seeing Lin Xian…
Lin Xian didn’t even need to lead the conversation, and Zheng Xiangyue just spilt everything about her family.
According to Zheng Xiangyue.
She and her brother were born in a poor rural area in Jiangsu Province, but she had little memory of her childhood, almost none, and most of it came from her brother’s recounting.
Their parents had gotten into trouble with a village tyrant over land allocation issues early on, and when Zheng Xiangyue was very young, the village tyrant brought men to fight, resulting in their parents’ deaths.
But the village tyrant wasn’t brought to justice as Zheng Chenghe said yesterday; back in those days, technology wasn’t advanced in the countryside and surveillance was lacking.
After the village tyrant’s manipulation, it was the siblings’ parents who were framed as the aggressors.
In the end, the incident was concluded with one of the village tyrant’s underlings serving a few years in prison.
After that, Zheng Chenghe and Zheng Xiangyue became orphans.
By that time, Zheng Chenghe was already an adult, having witnessed the horror of his parents being beaten to death, but for the sake of his young sister just weaned from milk, he had to bear it and supported Zheng Xiangyue through manual labor.
However, the tyranny of the village tyrant had no end, and what happened afterward became unclear to Zheng Xiangyue.
She only remembered that the tyrant’s family had a very large hunting dog, fierce and loud, which they unleashed to chase and bite them.
And the scars on Zheng Chenghe’s face came from that time.
“Actually, my brother has many more injuries.” Zheng Xiangyue continued:
“Actually, he could have run away a long time ago, he’s very strong.
that’s why he ended up being bitten like that.”
“All this, I heard from my brother, my memories from before that are all very vague.
The doctor said witnessing my brother being bitten was a huge psychological shock to me, leading to a certain degree of protective amnesia.
I don’t know if that’s the reason or not.”
Lin Xian sighed and patted Zheng Xiangyue’s head:
“So then, how did you come to Donghai?”
“Brother said, after that incident, he knew we couldn’t stay in the village any longer; otherwise, we would be bullied to death by those people sooner or later, so we left the village and came to Donghai.”
Zheng Xiangyue spoke more and more plaintively:
“At first, I wasn’t living here, but in a rented room.
But as my illness got worse and worse, I ended up being hospitalized here.
However, life got better after that, and my brother found a job driving a taxi.
Those bad people were caught and put in prison!”
A child’s face really changes in an instant.
Zheng Xiangyue wiped her eyes and became cheerful again:
“Brother always says, ‘Good is rewarded with good, and evil with evil.
The world really is !'”
Lin Xian smiled and said nothing more.
In Zheng Xiangyue’s little mind, the world was just that simple.
But if it really was ‘good is rewarded with good, and evil with evil’…
then what had Xu Yun and Tang Xin done wrong?
And what had Ji Lin and Zhou Duanyun done right?
The more complicated one’s thoughts are, the less happy one becomes, and Lin Xian had no intention of destroying Zheng Xiangyue’s innocent happiness.
“Right, since life is getting better, why keep thinking about burying yourself on the moon?
You’re also a good child, for sure your illness will be cured, and you should think about what you want to do when you grow up.”
Lin Xian looked at Zheng Xiangyue:
“What is your dream for when you grow up?”
“Growing up…” Zheng Xiangyue sighed, smiled weakly, and looked at the quietly lying Xu Yiyi:
