âBei Shuo! Someoneâs looking for you!â
Bei Shuo, who was organizing the information left behind by Li Jing in the doctorâs office, looked at the door.
Mu Yao, who was wearing a hospital gown, was standing there with a smug smile.
âMu Yao? Why are you here?â Bei Shuo was very surprised.
âAm I very amazing?â Mu Yao raised her head and asked Bei Shuo.
Bei Shuo put down the notebook in her hand and stuffed her hands into the pockets of her white coat. She smiled and said, âWhatâs so amazing about you?â Mu Yao pouted unhappily. âI found you! Am I not amazing?â
Bei Shuo bent down and smiled. âOhâyouâre talking about this? Yes, itâs very impressive! But why did you come to the hospital again? Shouldnât you have been discharged?â
âI can check in again!â Mu Yao said matter-of-factly.
Bei Shuo straightened her back and frowned. âWhatâs going on? Are you sick again? Whatâs wrong with you?â Out of habit, she reached out to pull Mu Yaoâs wrist.
Mu Yao put her hands behind her back. âIf you treat me to a meal, Iâll tell you what illness I have!â
Bei Shuo laughed. âSo you want me to treat you to a meal? No problem! You can choose not to tell me. I can diagnose it myself. Or I can ask your attending physician.â
Mu Yao went forward and grabbed Bei Shuoâs hand. She wheedled, âSister-in-law, please eat with me.â
Bei Shuo had no choice but to pat her shoulder. âAlright, I promise you. Then sit at the side and wait for me.â
Mu Yao nodded happily and sat at the empty work desk beside Bei Shuo.
Bei Shuo tidied up the information on the table and locked it in the drawer. Coincidentally, a senior sister came in. Bei Shuo handed the key to her. âI donât have any classes in the afternoon. Iâve placed everything in the drawer. Students who need it can look it up.â
The senior sister smiled and said, âI happen to be free and want to read it.â
The two of them smiled at each other and brushed past each other.
Mu Yao looked back at the drawer as she walked out.
âTell me, brat. What do you want to eat?â Bei Shuo asked Mu Yao with a smile.
Mu Yao shook her hand and said, âThe cake in your cafeteria is especially delicious!â
âWhy do you like dessert so much? Be careful not to get cavities!â Bei Shuo looked at her and said mischievously.
âYouâre afraid of getting fat, right?â Mu Yao retorted.
Bei Shuo said proudly, âIâm sorry to disappoint you. Iâm a natural beauty. I donât gain weight no matter how much I eat.â
Mu Yao sighed. âAs expected, real beauties are blessed by the gods. Without the godsâ blessings, one has to work hard!â
Bei Shuo laughed. âWhy do you have so many strange thoughts in your little head!â
Mu Yao smiled at her. âBecause you have to have an interesting soul to make you like me!â
Bei Shuo smiled and shook his head. âIâm impressed, brat.â
Mu Yao had a maturity that did not match her age, but she was still cute. It always made people lower their guard against her.
After buying Mu Yao her favorite dessert, Bei Shuo sat down and asked, âTell me, what illness do you have this time?â
Mu Yao dug out a piece of mousse with her small fork and put it in her mouth. She narrowed her eyes in enjoyment before saying, âBlood disease.â
Bei Shuo was shocked. âWhat illness?â
âAplastic anemia,â Mu Yao said calmly.
Bei Shuo reached out to feel Mu Yaoâs pulse.
Mu Yao struggled slightly, but she still accepted it calmly. She said calmly, âI can let you take a look. Why donât you use me as an experimental subject? You might even be able to write a few papers. You can treat me to a meal and a cake.â
Bei Shuoâs expression turned serious. Mu Yaoâs hand pulses were superficial. It was indeed not the pulse of a child her age. Her heart and lungs were also very weak.
âMu Yao, has your health always been bad?â Bei Shuo asked.
Mu Yao shook her head. âWho doesnât have a happy childhood? I was too happy in my childhood and suffered retribution, so Iâm destined to not live long.â âDonât spout nonsense,â Bei Shuo chided.
Mu Yao rolled her eyes at her. âWhatâs there to make a fuss about? Isnât my Big Brother also a sickly person?â
Bei Shuo didnât know what to say.
Mu Yao thought for a moment and smiled. âDo you think Iâm very pitiful?â
Without waiting for Bei Shuo to answer, Mu Yao took the opportunity to climb up. âThen spend more time with me in the future. Give me some of your love. Iâm a pitiful child. I need you, my caring sister-in-law, to care for me and accompany me more. This will help me maintain a good mood.. When Iâm in a good mood, my illness will naturally be easier to treat, right?â
