"Pay more attention next time, understand? As parents and sisters, you clearly knew your sister... has no sense of direction, yet you still didn't keep a close eye on the child!"
A nurse was earnestly lecturing the Ye parents and Mo Xi. In response, the three of them could only repeatedly apologize, their faces full of regret and embarrassment. Even the usually cold and serious Ye Guizhou felt quite embarrassed at this moment.
Because standing beside the nurse was none other than Sister Acheron, whom they had left behind. With the help of the medical staff, they finally managed to find Sister Acheron, who had wandered off so far she might as well have been in another world. Fortunately, Sister Acheron was wearing that unique hospital outfit that was very conspicuous; otherwise, it probably would have taken much more effort to find her.
"Alright, pay attention in the future. Otherwise, if such a beautiful girl gets lost outside, she might not be so lucky!" Seeing that their attitude was good, the nurse finished her instructions and left.
Mo Xi and the others all breathed a collective sigh of relief. As for Mo Xin on the hospital bed nearby, she witnessed this scene with a face full of curiosity. When her gaze landed on Sister Acheron, her eyes involuntarily flickered with an unidentifiable light.
'So when Sister warned me "don't let Sister Acheron be alone when going out," this is what she meant? I thought she was afraid Sister Acheron was too beautiful and would accidentally attract some villain or something like that.'
Meanwhile, Sister Acheron was dazing off to the side. Seeming to realize she had accidentally caused trouble, she apologized sincerely. "Sorry, I've caused trouble."
The three of them: (๑˙ー˙๑)
Although they wouldn't blame Sister Acheron—after all, this "symptom" was definitely not something she wanted. But with things like this, they didn't even know if they should continue with the words of comfort they had planned. Mo Qing(Mother Ye) couldn't help but think that Sister Acheron was truly too sensible... even if the process was a bit convoluted.
But now, things were back on track. As for Sister Acheron's little episode, it happened to dilute the gloom in the hospital room. After Mo Xi learned that her sister was indeed fine, her tense nerves finally relaxed completely. In fact, when she heard yesterday that Mo Xin had been sent to the hospital, she was already burning with anxiety, wishing she could fly to her side immediately.
Mo Xi had intended to stay by the bedside all night without leaving, but she was forcefully pulled away by Sister Acheron. However, this wasn't because Sister Acheron was cold-hearted—when she saw Yunli, although she didn't know the full story, she had vaguely guessed some of the reasons. After all, she had also noticed the "Heaven and Earth Phenomenon" last night. Sister Acheron could tell at a glance that Mo Xin was just exhausted and only needed a good sleep to recover her energy.
But Mo Xi's injuries had not yet fully healed; staying up all night would only drain her spirit, which would be more of a loss than a gain. Plus, since Yunli seemed to know Mo Xin, there was no need to worry too much.
During the conversation, Mo Xin also understood how the Ability Bureau had smoothed things over. Because that Residential Complex was too old and had poor fire safety awareness, it led to a gas explosion. Now the entire Residential Complex was almost completely destroyed. Mo Xin being only unconscious was considered very lucky.
Mo Xin almost couldn't suppress the corners of her mouth that were trying to curl up. She couldn't help but think (๑˙ー˙๑): 'Is this what it feels like to be a protagonist hiding their identity and saving the world? But how on earth do those protagonists keep a straight face! Bastards!'
Now the dust had finally settled. Everyone in the ward swept away the gloom. Everything seemed to return to calm, only the relationship between the whole family had vaguely become a bit closer. Mo Xin noticed that the Ye parents truly treated her as if she were their own. The concern and tenderness in Mo Qing's eyes were almost overflowing. Ye Guizhou was the only one in this family who could barely compete with Sister Acheron's cold aura; he didn't speak much, but he always revealed a bit of warmth beneath his cold exterior in inadvertent moments.
Mo Xi also saw all of this, which made her feel happy. As for Sister Acheron, besides having an expressionless face, she was as directionally challenged... cough, as thoughtful and delicate as ever.
"Right! What about that child? The one who's incredibly cute and was with Mo Xin? I remember she was guarding you all day yesterday, wasn't she, Mo Xin?" At this time, Mo Qing suddenly shifted the topic to Yunli.
Mo Xi and the others also noticed the stool by the bed and several large bags of things in the corner. Seeing this, Ye Guizhou spoke up. "Yeah, she probably went out. I even brought an extra breakfast for her."
He placed the extra breakfast to the side. Mo Xi glanced at her sister secretly, then spoke up. "Yes, it's said that there were no other survivors in the Residential Complex besides you two. So since she is your savior after all, remember to thank her properly later."
"Oh, I know, haha..." Mo Xin nodded awkwardly. She was indeed very grateful to Yunli. But in terms of the outcome, she felt that "thanking Yunli for not killing her" might be more appropriate.
However, after learning the other party was not there, Mo Qing's originally excited expression immediately dimmed. "What a pity, I wanted to have a good look at that child... Right! Mo Xin, are you close to her? Do you know what that cute kid's name is?"
Listening to her mother's inquiry, Mo Xin answered subconsciously. "Her name is Yunli. I should be quite close to her (after all, Yunli is currently lying in my arms), but Mom, why are you asking this?"
Mo Qing's eyes shone as she said, "Such a cute little girl, and although she's young, she's very brave. Of course I want to get to know a child like that!"
"Um, that... don't look at Yunli's petite figure, she might actually be older than me." Seeing her mother's misunderstanding, Mo Xin hurriedly explained.
This time, the Ye parents and Mo Xi were all startled. But Mo Qing quickly reacted, the light in her eyes increasing instead. "Then isn't that even better! Not only is she cute, she's now not only brave but also very loyal, willing to save you regardless of the danger!"
Ye Guizhou nodded in approval. "Yes, such a friend is very rare. Not to mention giving gifts, at the very least we must solemnly thank her afterwards."
Mo Xi also expressed her agreement. Seeing her friend gain her family's approval, Mo Xin felt inexplicably happy for her. But in the next moment, her expression suddenly froze.
"Hmm... so noisy..."
A soft and cute voice came from under Mo Xin's quilt. Everyone's gaze, including Sister Acheron's, all shifted over together.
Mo Xin: (・＿·;)
'What should I do? I'm panicking now, sweating like crazy. This is a huge problem. Someone please save me!'
But before she could think of an idea, a rustling movement came out. Everyone saw the quilt below Mo Xin begin to slowly wriggle. Then, under all those eyes, a mop of short blue hair was the first to poke out from within. Finally, a cute face with sleepy eyes crawled out from inside.
Yunli (๑•́ωก̀๑) rubbed her eyes dizzily and said, "So noisy... is it morning?"
Mo Xi and the other two: (●—●)
After a long silence, their gazes began to move upward, and then four pairs of eyes all stared at Mo Xin.
Mo Xin T_T: 'It's over, everyone. My hanging heart is finally completely dead.'
