Su Manrong is not in her ward.

The quilt on the hospital bed was neatly folded, and there was a vase on the bedside table with a bouquet of plain carnations in it. The window was open and the curtains were slightly moved.

Bai Xiao heard vague conversations coming from outside the door.

"...It's really no need. I still have things to do at home, so I just want to be discharged from the hospital today."

Bai Xiao recognized Su Manrong's voice, as if she was arguing with someone.

The nurse said anxiously: "Ms. Su, your body is already weak. If you go like this, if something happens, our hospital will also be responsible."

"Don't worry, if something happens, I won't put the responsibility on you."

As soon as Su Manrong walked to the door, she turned around and saw Bai Xiao and Yu Jingxi standing in the ward: "...Xiao Xiao?"

She seemed a little surprised that Bai Xiao came to see her, and then her expression showed a hint of joy.

Because the weather was getting hotter, Su Manrong's hospital gown sleeves were rolled up, and Bai Xiao saw a bruise on the inside of her left arm, where blood was drawn.

…

Noticing where Bai Xiao's gaze lingered, Su Manrong quickly put down her rolled-up sleeves and spoke in an unusually gentle tone: "Why are you here?"

Yu Jingxi had already taken the lead and shook the bag in his hand: "Auntie, Xiaobai also bought you white fungus and red date soup."

Su Manrong looked at Bai Xiao, her eyes filled with eagerness and expectation.

Bai Xiao took the bag from the child, took out the box containing white fungus and red dates, and said to Su Manrong, who was still standing by the door: "It won't taste good if it gets cold."

Just now in the restaurant, Yu Jingxi sweetly coaxed the staff to give him an extra small bowl and a spoon.

Su Manrong sat by the bedside and followed Bai Xiao with her eyes.

Yesterday, she called Xu Jingyan to ask about Bai Xiao's situation in the capital, but she got the news that Bai Xiao had been kidnapped. She was panicked and did not dare to tell her mother-in-law rashly. She originally planned to come to the capital alone, but she didn't expect it.

Unfortunately, Yu Jingxi lay at the door and eavesdropped on her phone call.

The little guy's original words at that time were: "If you don't take me with you, I will tell everyone loudly right away that Xiaobai has been kidnapped!"

Seeing Yu Jingxi, who was holding a disposable small bowl in his hand and asking Bai Xiao for white fungus and red dates, Su Manrong curled up the corners of her lips, feeling happy and sour in her heart.

The blood relationship is indeed wonderful.

Even though he still refuses to call Bai Xiao's mother, he has acknowledged her invisibly.

…

Bai Xiao raised his head and wanted to ask Su Manrong to come over to eat white fungus and red dates, but found that she had been staring at him.

"The nurse said you didn't have breakfast. Drink some of this first. I'll go down and buy lunch later." Bai Xiao added the box to her.

Su Manrong held the box, looked down at the white fungus and red dates, and then looked up at Bai Xiao: "There's no need to run up and down. I'm not hungry. If you want to eat, I can go down and buy it myself. You're injured too, so be careful.

rest."

The redness and swelling on Bai Xiao's face had gone away, but there were still faint fingerprints. The wound on his neck was scabbed, but there was still a dull pain.

Seeing her reaching out to touch her neck, Su Manrong asked nervously: "Did it hurt the wound? Is it okay?"

"It's okay." Bai Xiao actually just wanted to touch it subconsciously, but seeing her worry, he put down his hand.

Next to him, Yu Jingxi added inarticulately: "I was crying with my dad in my arms last night."

"When did I..." Bai Xiao glanced at Su Manrong and turned the little guy's face away, "Eat the white fungus. If you don't talk more, go to the corridor to eat."

Yu Jingxi hummed and turned away while holding a small bowl.

Seeing Su Manrong looking at him worriedly, Bai Xiao had no choice but to explain: "He's just talking nonsense. You don't need to pay attention to it. I... just suffered some skin trauma."

"Did they really not bully you yesterday?"

Su Manrong looked at the scars on her cheeks, still feeling frightened: "Why are these gangsters so bold and dare to do such a thing in the capital?"

"We have already called the police. There should be some progress with the police in a few days."

After saying this, the room became quiet.

Bai Xiao sat on the side, holding the sheets under her body with her fingers, looking at Su Manrong's slightly pale face, hesitating for a while, and finally spoke: "You just finished drawing blood, it's best to stay in the hospital for a few days for observation.

Go back when your body is almost recovered."

"I'm fine."

Because of Bai Xiao's sudden concern, Su Manrong was a little happy and her face turned rosy: "She saved you, so it doesn't matter if I transfuse some blood."

"Did you have a hard time giving birth to Yiwei?"

Su Manrong suddenly looked at Bai Xiao, obviously not expecting that she would suddenly change the topic.

Bai Xiao once resented Su Manrong because after she woke up, even though she knew about his existence, she still took another child away to another country without even taking care of her biological parents. However, these resentments and hatreds have grown over time.

Slowly passing by, when she called Xu Jingyan 'Dad', she learned to let go gradually.

Everyone has different life experiences and has their own difficulties. People with different personalities face things and make different decisions.

After Yu Zhengdong passed away, Su Manrong would take Yu Yiwei abroad, which may be a kind of self-exile and punishment.

…

"I heard that it is very dangerous for a woman with panda blood to have a second child." When Bai Xiao said this, her tone was slightly awkward and she looked uncomfortable.

It's more like looking for something to say when I have nothing to say.

Su Manrong twitched the corners of her lips and smiled faintly, as if recalling the past: "I didn't know that I had given birth to a child at the time, but Zhengdong once discussed with me that he wanted me to remove the child in my belly. For this reason

, I even had a dispute with him, and in the end, he agreed to give birth to Yiwei after he couldn't get over it."

"Later, when I regained my memory, I realized how dangerous it was to do what I did at that time. Once hemolysis occurred between me and my child, the consequences would be disastrous."

Su Manrong noticed that Bai Xiao didn't speak anymore. She raised her head and looked at Bai Xiao, thinking that she didn't want to hear about her and Yu Zhengdong's affairs.

This was the first time they sat and talked so calmly.

"Have you had lunch?" Su Manrong asked with concern.

Bai Xiao nodded, patted Yu Jingxi's shoulder, stood up, and said to Su Manrong, "You can rest, I'll go see the old man."

"Xiao Xiao..."

Just as she was holding Yu Jingxi's hand and about to leave, Su Manrong behind her suddenly spoke and called her urgently.

Bai Xiao turned around.

Su Manrong hesitated to speak, but finally said: "I heard that Mr. Xu is in poor health. There are some things I may not be qualified to say. There may be mistakes in what they did back then, but from their perspective, it is not incomprehensible for them to be well-matched.

.I was young at that time and did not think too much about things. I left with Zhengdong rashly without considering his feelings. In the following years, I was blinded by resentment. Now I look away and think about it again, which has led to what I am today.

So why don’t I have no responsibility for this situation?”

"he……"

Su Manrong thought of the man standing next to her when she was drawing blood yesterday. In just over a month, he seemed to have suddenly aged ten years, no longer as high-spirited as before, and he was also cautious when talking to her. Such changes

, which made her uncontrollably sad.

"At that time, he kept asking me if you were his child, and I saw that he cared about you. Maybe you had the same idea as me, and felt that if he had his own child with Xia Lan, wouldn't he

Do you value your existence so much?"

"But this is just a hypothesis, because it doesn't exist, so we can't predict what will happen. But I also believe that he will be a good father to you. He is willing to run to Liyang to plead with your grandmother.

I understand, he really regrets and blames himself. I asked him not to disturb your current life, so he would appear as little as possible around you, but now I feel that what I did was wrong."

Bai Xiao turned her head and looked at the bright sun outside through the window. It was a bit dazzling. She squinted her eyes, but the corners of her eyes were still burning.

"I am not a competent mother myself, so what position do I have to deprive him of his right to repent?" Su Manrong smiled bitterly.

"You'd better have a good rest."

Bai Xiao didn't say anything else, but he no longer resisted listening to her talk about these things. Before leaving, he stood at the door and turned around and said, "I'll come see you later."

…

Bai Xiao closed the door of the ward, and then saw Xu Jingyan standing outside at some point.

He doesn't know how much he heard of what Su Manrong said just now.

——————————

"Tell me, does little grandpa like my eldest aunt?" After entering the elevator, when there was no one else, the little guy asked Bai Xiao mischievously.

Bai Xiao pressed the button and refused to answer the question.

Yu Jingxi glanced at her, holding out her belly and clasping her hands in front of her: "It's really hard to say this about feelings."

"Yu Jingxi, you came to the capital and asked for leave from school?"

"..."

The little guy choked on one sentence, his eyes rolled up, and his forehead was flicked: "I'll try skipping school next time."

The elevator door opened and Bai Xiao took the lead to go out. Yu Jingxi immediately followed, chattering: "You woman, you are so heartless. As soon as I knew you were in danger, I didn't care about anything, so I followed my aunt here, and you still...

Talk to me like this. Tell me, do you have a conscience?"
