C482

In the hospital, Shu Yao brought Xixi over to see Li Zheng.

Li Zheng sat on the bed, unmoving, not even knowing how to blink. He just sat there in a daze, while Xixi didn't speak either. He just sat on the bed and looked at him with his tilted head.

She felt it was a mistake to come alone.

Therefore, she brought Diu Diu along with her.

Although Xixi didn't say anything, Diu Diu was like a chatterbox, sitting on the side of the bed and talking non-stop.

He even held Shu Yao's hand and said, "Auntie, I've seen this big brother before!"

"Oh?" Shu Yao looked at him with slight curiosity.

"It's true, I've seen him before. We've eaten cake together!"

As Diu Diu was speaking, Li Chenxi came in from the outside, and naturally joined the conversation. He said, "It's true, about the time you returned to A City, Ling Dot Restaurant opened. I brought Zheng Er there, and unintentionally met Diu Diu."

"Not only that, I also saw someone adding food to Big Brother's food!" Diu Diu said as he raised his head.

"Add something?" Add what? Seasoning? " Li Chenxi rubbed the child's head gently with his big hands.

Diu Diu shook his head, "It doesn't seem to be spice, it's called the English alphabet or something, I forgot, but it seems to be a secret, I eavesdropped on it."

Eavesdrop?!

This sentence touched upon Li Chenxi and Shu Yao's sensitive nerves, and both of them looked towards Diu Diu at the same time.

Shu Yao quickly crouched down, and grabbed the child's two small arms. "Diu Diu, this is a very important matter, you have to tell Aunty the truth, you cannot lie."

"Huge?" Diu Diu frowned.

She asked again, "Are you sure you saw someone adding something into Zheng Er's diet?"

"I didn't see it, but I heard it. The two women talked and said that no one was to know about it, what medicine?" Diu Diu said.

Li Chenxi also looked down at him, "When did this happen?"

"The time I met little big brother in the restaurant, he accompanied me to eat cake!" the child said.

It was also the day Ling Dot Restaurant opened.

Li Zheng also had an 'accident' a few days later, and he was unconscious from then on.

As for the two women that Diu Diu was referring to, could they be …

"What's going on? Uncle, Auntie, is this important? " Diu Diu asked again.

Li Chenxi stood up and took a deep breath. There was no need to ask about the child anymore, he was completely sure who exactly had been planning to kill Li Zheng the entire time.

Shu Yao saw through his dilemma, thought about it, and said, "Diu Diu is only five years old, so you can't take a child's words seriously. Moreover, Zheng Er is already like this, no matter how much you try, it won't help."

just wanted to comfort him with some words, but Diu Diu anxiously explained, "I am not lying! I'm telling the truth! Auntie, believe me! "

She could not help but lower her head, and looked at the child with a smile, "Auntie knows, Diu Diu is the most obedient child, he would never lie!"

He carried the child up and walked to the bedside once again. Looking at Li Zheng who was still in his vegetative state, his daughter who was sitting beside him, she put Diu Diu down and sat down as well, then said, "It's just that you are still too young, so you won't understand the complexity of the adult world. However, Diu Diu, you are not allowed to mention this matter to anyone else, understand?"

Diu Diu looked at her in a daze. In the end, he nodded and agreed.

Li Chenxi walked to her side and grabbed her shoulder, lowering his head, "You didn't sleep well last night did you?"

She was a little curious. "How did you know?"

"Not only last night, you didn't sleep well during this time, right?" His calm, gentle eyes were filled with concern.

Shu Yao powerlessly pulled at her lower lip. Just thinking about Zheng Er's situation, how could she still sleep?

He pulled her up, "That won't do. Why don't I sleep with you for a while?"

"…"

Shu Yao looked at him in shock, and couldn't help but laugh, "What are you doing, you're still doing this?"

"What time is it?" He smirked. The long arm carried her into his embrace and hugged her tightly as he whispered into her ear, "Leave what Diu Diu said just now to me. Before long, I'll definitely give you a satisfactory result."

Shu Yao was slightly startled, but immediately followed up, "You really dare to agree to everything. Do you know what kind of satisfactory result I want?"

Li Chenxi looked at her, the glint in his eyes deepened. "I know."

That kind of calm and assured feeling made Shu Yao momentarily speechless. Besides being in his arms naturally, she had also forgotten her original reaction.

Thus, he naturally did not notice the subtle changes in Li Zheng's expression, who had been sitting on his bed the entire time.

In the afternoon, she took the two children back to the hotel.

There was a traffic jam on the road, Diu Diu tilted his head and looked out the window at the crowd of people on the crosswalk. There were couples in twos and threes, he could not help but turn back and look at Shu Yao, and suddenly said: "Auntie, are you and uncle in love?"

With just one sentence, Shu Yao, who had just opened the bottle to drink, choked on her saliva. She could not help but cough a few times, and then asked, "Why do you ask?"

"It feels like Uncle really loves Auntie! Furthermore, you have a little big brother between you and Xixi, you used to be husband and wife right? " Diu Diu tilted his head and looked at her, his face filled with childishness.

He didn't expect that the children these days would know quite a lot.

She took a deep breath and nodded. "Mm. We were husband and wife in the past, but later on we got divorced. So auntie and uncle aren't related at all, we can only be considered as …"

After thinking about it, he still couldn't think of a good word to describe their current relationship.

Friend?

It was as though the relationship between them had long surpassed the limits of friendship.

Couple?

However, their relationship had never been officially confirmed. Furthermore, he had an official fiancée, so it couldn't be said that they were a couple!

Just as Shu Yao was thinking about how to describe his, Diu Diu suddenly opened her mouth and gave her an answer.

"You are two people in love with each other now, aren't you?"

Shu Yao coughed once again, she awkwardly pursed her lips, "Why are you suddenly so curious about this?"

"Because when little big brother sees you two together, he will laugh!"

"…"

Shu Yao was stunned for a few seconds. She looked at Diu Diu with a look of astonishment and her mind immediately stopped, she even forgot about the congested road. It was only when the ear-piercing whistle sounded from behind that she suddenly reacted and quickly drove the car to leave.

As she drove, she looked at the child, "Diu Diu, what did you say just now?"

"What?" The child couldn't help but be taken aback. After a moment, he seemed to recall something and said, "When I saw you and uncle hugging each other, little brother looked at you and laughed!"

Little big brother?

Could it be Li Zheng?

Shu Yao's heart suddenly stopped, did Li Zheng really laugh? It was clearly a vegetative state, yet it had the emotional reaction of a normal person?

Ye Ci wanted to confirm the answer, so she changed the direction at the intersection and went back to the hospital.

As they were walking upstairs with the two children, coincidentally, Li Chenxi was about to go downstairs too, so they bumped into each other at the elevator.

"Why are you back? What's wrong? " he asked.

Shu Yao did not reply, she only went forward and pulled Li Chenxi's hand, and said, "Follow me."

had never seen her react so fiercely before, so he was a little stunned. He allowed her to pull his arm and quickly go up the stairs, entering the sickroom.

Li Zheng was still leaning on the bed, as he had seen before. His slightly pale face was expressionless.

"What's going on?" he asked.

Shu Yao pulled him to the bedside, and in the child's field of vision, she hugged Li Chenxi. The two of them hugged each other tightly, leaned into the man's chest, and closed their eyes.

Maybe Diu Diu was wrong, he should not have believed in this kind of thing.

It's just that she's a mother.

Even if there was the slightest possibility, he would still want to try it out, even if he knew it was just a way to deceive himself.

"Sorry." As she spoke, she slowly let go of him.

He raised his hand to wipe the tears in his eyes, and accidentally swept his gaze across Li Zheng's face.
