Chapter 35: The Truth About Sleep

"Why is it you?"

I looked at him in front of me and was full of loss. I hope it was Dad, or Situ Lei.

Don't you want to see me? Just say it directly, I don't care." He walked in with a smile and took me to the wheelchair and pushed me into the bathroom: "Come out for dinner after washing. I'll warm up."

Why is it him? In my memory, it is clear that Situ Lei has been with me. I can see his eyes and remember every word he said. Even these hands have grabbed him hard. How can I remember it wrong?

I kept patting my face with cold water, trying to wake up and distinguish which is real and which is my hallucination.

I washed my face until it turned red, and my hands lost temperature because they were soaked in cold water for too long. This is the first time I have looked around here calmly after a night of nightmare. The room has been cleaned up, the tables and chairs have been rearranged, and the broken glass and waste paper on the ground have been picked up and put aside neatly.

"Did you do all these?" I asked Ye Yichen, who was serving porridge at the table.

"What?" He looked at me stupidly and asked.

"Forget it, when did you come here?"

"I don't remember. Let's eat first. I'll take you to the hospital later." He didn't reveal the fact that he didn't come until morning, but I'm not a fool. His neat clothes and clean appearance are hard to see that he stayed with me all night.

I don't believe what he said, but I don't know what happened this night. But the only thing I can be sure of is that the person who has been with me must not be him.

After dinner, none of us went straight to the hospital without washing the dishes. I really couldn't stay, although my father kept telling me, "It's okay, it's okay."

But I must see with my own eyes that she is fine. Everything in the world except what I see with my own eyes is false, and no one can believe it, especially this so-called well-meaning lie is even more terrible.

"Dad, I'm coming!" Ye Yichen and I came to the ward together.

Dad seems to be much older overnight, but his face is haggard, but he still tries to squeeze out a smile that makes me feel at ease.

The mother lay quietly beside **, her face was still so white, and there was a layer of gauze wrapped in a net pocket on her head. She did not move, just breathed evenly, twice, and her chest gently undulating.

"She, is she awake?" I tried my best to restrain my emotions.

"The doctor said that she needs to rest for a while, and she may not wake up during this period." Dad looked at me, but his words were very vague, as if he was searching for acceptable words in his mind and then carefully arranged them to say to me.

"Don't lie to me. What's wrong? Is my mother..." I stepped back and tried to avoid his eyes looking at me. Because I'm scared, I'm really scared

"No, how could Dad lie to you? He will really wake up after a short break. Trust me, okay? Just trust me this time." Dad hugged me and his eyes turned red.

"Hmm."

"Can you go out? I want to stay alone with my mother for a while." I said to the two men who can only stand stupidly in the ward.

"Uncle, you haven't eaten yet, and I haven't eaten yet. Why don't I accompany you downstairs to eat casually and let her be quiet here by herself?"

I thought that Ye Yichen really lied and didn't make drafts. Obviously, he ate three bowls of porridge and two fried eggs at home with me, but he could say so generously that he hadn't eaten yet.

His words tickled me like a feather, making me want to pull him out of my ears quickly.

"Well, you are Ye Yichen, right?" Dad asked.

"Yes, do you know me?"

"Didn't I call home last night and ask your name? I'm exhausted after staying up all night. Uncle is here to thank you. Please take care of her so late.

Every father who is good to me will return it twice, and the Ye Yichen in front of him has completely captured my father's heart after this incident.

At this time, Dad's eyes were not only grateful.

I listened to all my father's words. Is it true that Ye Yichen has been guarding me? But why, I clearly remember him, and I can't admit his eyes and voice.

My brain suddenly became confused, and I kept patting my forehead with my palm. I found that I had been completely confused by these two men, so that I couldn't even see the people I liked.

After they left, I looked at my mother lying in the sick**. Although her face was not as scary as that pulled away by 120 at that time, her deep-locked eyebrows were still faintly visible, probably because the wound was too painful, and the frowned eyebrows did not stretch for a long time, leaving a faint trace.

"Mom, I washed my face with cold water in the morning and had two big sneezes. Mom, it's so cold outside today, but I only wore a small shirt when I went out to make you see the beautiful me. Mom, I secretly took out the egg yolk again when I was eating in the morning. It's really bad..."

Although I have tried my best to control it, the sound is still a little choked.

"Mom, you got up and scolded me, got up and asked me to add clothes and take cold medicine. Mom, don't be so quiet, okay? It's not like you. Get up quickly. Didn't you say that as long as you were there, I would still be a child? I don't want to grow up now. You have to stay with me. I don't want to grow up in my life. I only want you, only you and Dad, and neither of you can be less..."

I grabbed my mother's slightly warm hand and put it on my face. When I was about to shed tears, I asked her to wipe it off for me, as if my mother was coaxing me. Now I can only deceive myself in this way.

"Uncle, Luo Lin is not here. Tell me the truth." Ye Yichen asked in the restaurant near the hospital.

"I don't hide it from you. The chance of her waking up is very small, but I can't tell Luo Lin that she can hide it for a day. Now she knows that she can't stand it. There are still many things involved here that need his mother to wake up to make it clear.

"I know that she is not your own child." Ye Yichen's sudden blurted out almost scared the water cup in his father's hand.

"Young man, who told you this? Be careful when you say something."

"I saw that aunt was looking for that proof material that she was injured. I may know more about some things than you, but I mean no harm and won't let Luolin know. Ye Yichen said calmly.

"What else do you know?"

"I know who her biological father is."

"I don't want to know that he has lost his qualification as a father if he can cruelly abandon such a small child. He now has no right to take back my raised daughter."

Dad's face was dark, and he could see that he was in a bad mood at this moment.

"I will try my best to protect her. You can concentrate on taking care of your aunt during this period."

"Thank you. I may really have to trouble you during this period." Dad held Ye Yichen's hand and patted it. It was not the palm of his hand or the sound. It is the heavy trust of giving my daughter to a stranger.

After my father and Ye Yichen came back, the three of us stayed in the ward all day. Although I don't like this atmosphere very much, I can't care so much now. As long as I'm by my mother's side, I think she can see me first when she opens her eyes.

We stayed in the hospital until dark before Dad finally began to drive me away. He won't let me live there, because as long as there is one bed in the hospital, I don't know whether to take care of me or my mother if I stay there.

In order not to add more burden to him, I can only reluctantly go home, return to the empty home, and return to the home where I live alone now.

"Ye, Yi Chen." On the road late at night, the street lights flashed, giving people the feeling that they were about to break down at any time.

"Hmm?"

"Can you stop doing this to me?" I lowered my head and didn't want to see him.

"What's wrong with me?"

"You are very good, but I can't stand you being so kind to me. If you are so kind to me because you like me, then stop quickly. I don't want to hurt you."

"I know you don't like me, but I like you are my freedom, and what about you? Who are you? Why do you want me to stop doing things that my mother can't control?

Ye Yichen pushed me behind me. I couldn't see what his expression was like at this moment, and I couldn't hear what his mood was in his words.

"Can you stop doing this? You make me feel very guilty."

"This is also good. Maybe you will want to compensate me because you feel that you owe me too much. I don't care what mood you are in and how you accept me."

"What do you like about me?" I suddenly asked him this.

"I don't know." He answered me almost without thinking about it.

I think he doesn't really like me, because I can't feel that kind of emotion from him. There are only 'should' and 'must'.

I should treat you well. I should accompany you. I must take good care of you. Ye Yichen owes you in my last life and I have to pay you back. He just gave me this feeling.

"Let's go, I can go home by myself." I broke free from his hand.

"I'll see you off. Can I stay at your house in the evening?" He caught up with me and grabbed my wheelchair again.

"No, why did you come to my house? What's our relationship? Do you know that I will be disgusted when you do this?" I'm a little fierce.

"Well, you finally told the truth." He let go of me.

"I'm leaving. You'd better not follow me."

I am like this. Maybe I have never taken into account his feelings in his heart. It's like talking to him when I'm happy and driving him away mercilessly when I'm bored.

"Then I'll come tomorrow." He is still not angry and has no emotional ups and downs. It seems that he always swallows his anger when he is with me. I don't understand why he is so angry with me.

When I got home, it was as cold as I thought. Without my mother's tireless chatter, and without my father's loud noise of turning on the TV, everything was so quiet, and the whole quiet room became more and cold.

I turned on all the lights in the room, wondering if my mother would feel that I was messing around at home and suddenly rushed back to me and yelled at me: "Why are you doing with so many lights on? It's a waste of electricity!"

-

"Yuan Meng, are you asleep?" I lay on the phone in a bored random phone.

"You girl, I thought you had forgotten me. Why do you want to call me so late? As soon as Yuan Meng caught me, she said endlessly, and I missed it very much.

"Can you chat with me for a while? I'm so bored at home alone."

"What's wrong with you?"

Yuan Meng knows me very well and will never call her to kill time if I know I'm fine. I'm the kind of person who is really bored and sleeps and doesn't want to say more words.

Now, something very serious must have happened to me. I have to call in the middle of the night, hoping that someone will accompany me...
