On the top of the mountain.
After Su Jianâan went away, Aunt Liu and Xu Youning were left to take care of the two little babies.
Aunt Liu was experienced, but she couldnât deal with the two babies alone. Xu Youning had no experience at all, so she could only assist Aunt Liu, and occasionally she would be in a flurry.
The childrenâs room was in a mess.
Xu Youning gasped and sighed in her heart, âSure enough, no pain, no gain.â
Lu Boyan and Su Jianâan had a son and a daughter at the same time, but it was not easy for them to raise these two little babies!
âBoohoo...â
It took Xu Youning a lot of effort to handle Xiyu. She breathed a sigh of relief, and the next breath was still stuck in her throat when she heard someone else cry.
It was not Xiangyi, for the crying came in from the door.
Xu Youning looked in the direction of the cries in disbelief. It was really Mumu!
She walked over and wiped away the tears on Mumuâs face. âMumu, whatâs wrong with you? Why are you crying?â
Mumu, in her mind, would never cry for no reason.
âUncle Yuechuan...â Mumu sobbed and said intermittently, âJust now, I saw that Sister Yunyun called Uncle Yuechuan many times... But, Uncle Yuechuan had been... been ignoring Sister Yunyun... Boohoo... Auntie Youning, will Uncle Yuechuan go to the world where my mommy lives?â
âDonât worry, it wonât happen.â Xu Youning hugged Mumu and comforted him in a soft voice. âUncle Yuechuan is not feeling well, so he fainted. The doctor will wake him up, and he wonât leave us. Mumu, youâre afraid that Sister Yunyun will be sad, right?â
Mumu nodded and said with tears in his eyes, âIf Sister Yunyun is sad, I will be very sad too.â
Xu Youning took out a wet wipe and wiped away the tears on Mumuâs face. âUncle Yuechuan will be fine. Donât cry anymore. I have to take care of the babies. You canât make any trouble, okay?â
Mumu didnât quite understand but nodded. At this time, Xiangyi burst into tears.
Xu Youning patted her forehead and said, âOh, no!â
If Xiyu cried, the little boy would soon stop crying after being slightly comforted.
However, coaxing Xiangyi was much more challenging. Except for her father and mother, there was no third person in the world who could coax her.
Xu Youning had no choice but to drag Mumu over. Maybe a baby could coax another baby!
Mumu rubbed Xiangyiâs small face and whispered to her, âGood girl, donât cry. Iâll play with you.â
Xiangyi glanced at Mumu as if she was considering if she would accept his comfort.
Finally, she cried even harder.
Yes, she did not accept Mumuâs comfort.
Mumu tried to coax her again, but still failed.
He felt so distressed for the baby, which kept him from being discouraged. He looked at Xu Youning and said, âLetâs call Auntie Jianâan. The baby wants her mother.â Then he saw a familiar figure coming in. He was surprised and called, âMr. Mu!â
Mu Sijue replied with a âhmmâ. The tense expression on his face disappeared when he saw Xu Youning staying in the childrenâs room.
Xu Youning did not take advantage of this rare opportunity to escape, which was very good.
âCome and help me.â Xu Youning held Xiangyi in her arms and looked at Mu Sijue helplessly. âCall Jianâan and ask her how to coax this little girl. She is very sad and crying so hard.â
Mu Sijue walked over, glanced at Xiangyi, and asked in a low voice, âWhatâs wrong with her?â
âXiangyi suddenly started crying so hard. I cannot coax her at all.â Xu Youning said, âThe little girl should be eager to see her mother.â
Mu Sijue stretched out his hands. âGive her to me.â
Xu Youning was stunned and turned around with Xiangyi in her arms. She looked back at Mu Sijue warily and said, âLet me remind you, itâs illegal to treat a baby violently!â
Mumu tilted his head and thought for a while. Then he understood what Xu Youning had said. Mr. Mu was going to violently treat the baby!
He widened his eyes and rushed to Xu Youning. He opened his hands and stood before Xu Youning and Xiangyi. âDonât bully the baby and Auntie Youning!â
Mu Sijue looked down at Mumu and gently knocked his head. âIf I wanted to bully babies, you would have long cried.â After that, he lifted Mumu away and ordered Xu Youning once again, âGive Xiangyi to me.â
Xu Youning tried to coax Xiangyi again. The little girl didnât accept her comfort and cried even harder.
She had no choice but to hand the little girl over to Mu Sijue.
At the worst, she went to contact Su Jianâan!
When Xiangyi was born, Mu Sijue had held her in his arms once in the hospital. At that time, Shen Yuechuan even specially searched the Internet for the right posture of carrying a baby. He still had an impression of it, so he was quite proficient in holding Xiangyi in his arms.
Then, the miracle happened.
As soon as Xiangyi got into Mu Sijueâs arms, she quieted down and stared at him with pure and bright eyes. After a while, she put her little fist into her mouth and bit it with relish, completely forgetting to cry.
Xu Youning froze when she was about to dial.
If it werenât for the layer of water in Xiangyiâs eyes, she would suspect that Xiangyi hadnât cried at all.
She and Aunt Zhou, together with Mumu, couldnât handle the little girl, but Mu Sijue could easily stop her from crying!
Xu Youning felt that she was dreaming, but it truly happened in front of her.
On closer inspection, it was not difficult to find that Mu Sijueâs posture of holding the baby was very standard. Xiangyi was leaning against his chest in a very comfortable manner and seemed to be enjoying herself.
After a while, she babbled to Mu Sijue and looked at him with a smile.
Xiangyiâs crying was earthshaking, but when she smiled, she looked like an angel.
Seeing this, Mu Sijue felt warm in his heart and smiled at the little girl.
Instantly, Xiangyi became excited. She danced and laughed out loud in Mu Sijueâs arms.
The little girlâs laughter was ringing and clear, like angelic voices coming from a fairyland.
Xu Youning shook her head in disbelief. âThatâs impossible.â
Mu Sijue glanced at Xu Youning and said proudly and calmly, âThatâs the truth.â
Mumu hopped over and looked at Mu Sijue curiously. âMr. Mu, why doesnât the baby cry in your arms?â
Mu Sijue said simply to Mumu, âThe baby likes me.â
Mumu was stunned for a moment. Then, as if unwilling to face the truth, he snorted and said, âI donât believe it! I have spent more time with her than you. She likes me!â
âMu Sijue...â Xu Youning obviously stood on Mumuâs side, asking, âIs Xiangyi too scared to cry?â
Mu Sijue didnât want to talk to these two losers. He held Xiangyi with one arm and lightly touched the little girlâs face with the other.
âHaha...â
Xiangyi was very happy, and they heard her ringing and clear laugter again.
Although Xu Youning didnât believe it, she had to say, âIâm convinced...â
The more Mumu watched, the more unwilling he became. He puffed up his cheeks and thought to himself, âOne day, I can make the baby laugh!â
Mu Sijue teased Xiangyi a few more times, and the coldness and stiffness in his eyes had unknowingly faded away.
It turned out that newborn children were much more fun than he had imagined.
He looked forward to his own child more than ever.
Su Jianâan and Lu Boyan rushed back. As soon as they entered the house, they went straight to the childrenâs room on the second floor. Before they could catch their breath, they asked, âDid Xiyu and Xiangyi cry?â
âXiangyi cried.â Xu Youning pointed at Mu Sijue. âBut when she was in his arms, she suddenly stopped crying. I think Mu Sijue must have scared her!â
âOh, no.â Su Jianâan smiled. âXiangyi has always liked Sijue.â
Mu Sijue had hugged Xiangyi in the private hospital for the first time. She didnât see it, but Shen Yuechuan told her that Xiangyi hadnât cried and even stared at Mu Sijue for a long time.
That was the only time Xiangyi allowed a stranger to hug her.
Hearing Su Jianâanâs voice, Xiangyi turned her head immediately and babbled to Su Jianâan in an injured voice.
Su Jianâan smiled and took her daughter from Mu Sijueâs arms.
As if she was reluctant to part with Mu Sijue, Xiangyi looked back at him and finally buried her face in Su Jianâanâs arms, acting like a spoiled child in a childish voice.
âOkay, be nice.â Su Jianâan kissed her daughterâs little face. âMom is back.â
Lu Boyan walked to Xiyuâs crib, took the milk bottle from Aunt Liu, and fed him milk.
When Xiyu saw his father, he loosened his mouth and babbled, staring at Lu Boyan with bright eyes.
Lu Boyan stroked the little boyâs face with his fingers. âGood boy, drink your milk.â
Xiyu smiled, kicked his legs in the crib, opened his mouth, and continued to drink milk.
Seeing that, Xu Youning signaled Mu Sijue to go downstairs, and Mumu also followed down.
She asked Mu Sijue, âHow is Yuechuan?â
âThe situation is getting worse.â Mu Sijue said, âHe has to have an operation after another treatment.â
âMr. Mu.â Mumu tugged at the corner of Mu Sijueâs clothes. âCan I go to see Sister Yunyun?â
Xu Youning said, âI also want to see Yuechuan.â
Mu Sijue checked the time. âNot today. Boyan and I still have something to do. Iâll take you there tomorrow.â
Xu Youning nodded. âOkayâ
After lunch, Mu Sijue and Lu Boyan left the mountain top. Su Jianâan coaxed the two little babies to sleep and went downstairs with the computer to search for information about Yuechuanâs illness.
Just like what Henry had said, this was an extremely rare genetic disease. There was very little information on the Internet.
However, so what if she found some information?
Even those professional experts could not guarantee that Shen Yuechuanâs operation would succeed. It was impossible for her to do wonders just by searching for the information...
Xu Youning walked over and sat down beside her. âAre you worried about Yuechuan?â
Su Jianâan nodded. âYunyun told me today that if something bad happened to Yuechuan, she wouldnât know how to live.â
Xu Youning understood Xiao Yunyunâs mood, so she didnât know what to say for a while.
In silence, Su Jianâan received a video call from Luo Xiaoxi.
She picked up the video call with confusion. âXiaoxi, whatâs wrong?â
âHello, my friend on the top of the mountain.â Luo Xiaoxiâs bright smile appeared on the computer screen.
Su Jianâan could not help smiling. âItâs pretty fun here. Would you like to live here with my brother for a few days?â
âLetâs talk about it later. I want to tell you something else,â Luo Xiaoxi said with a serious look. âJust now, Yunyun called me, and she told me...â
After hearing Luo Xiaoxiâs words, Su Jianâan was stunned for three seconds.
But on second thought, thatâs indeed what Xiao Yunyun would do.
Well, nothing surprising there!
