309 A Fairytale Only Kids Believe In (1/2)

”Let's stay like this. Don't push me away. You're tired, and when you're tired, you should have a good rest. No one will blame you.” Xia Ruoxin listened to his deep and gentle voice and let go of everything. Inside the arms of a man who would still be considered unfamiliar, she received a warm embrace she had never gotten before.

”Good, that's it. Like I said, leave everything to me from now on. You only have to wait for Rainy to recover.”

Gao Yi patted her back repeatedly like he was coaxing a child, and Xia Ruoxin finally relaxed her taut mind and body. This time, she was really so tired she couldn't open her eyes.

She was tired, really tired.

Let her have a little more rest. Let her feel a little more of this warmth.

Gao Yi lowered his head. The woman in his arms seemed to have fallen asleep. Her long lashes were already under her eyes, and there were two obvious dark patches under her eyes.

”Sleep tight.” Gao Yi placed his hand on Xia Ruoxin's face, stroking gently from time to time. His warm, big palm made Xia Ruoxin finally give up all her struggles and resistance. It was the first time she slept so soundly.

Gao Yi remained still until her hand slowly fell back to her side, and her breathing became even, which let him know that she had really fallen asleep.

Gao Yi lifted the woman, who had no weight in any part of her body, and placed her on the hospital bed at the side. He sat down for a very long time before standing up and walking over to Rainy's bed. Actually, the two of them were sick. One had her body hurt, and the other, her heart.

Rainy rubbed her eyes, wanting to call out for her mother instinctively. However, she felt a finger press against her small lips. She raised her head and blinked.

”Hush, little darling. Mommy's asleep. Let's not wake her up, okay?” Gao Yi bent down and looked at Rainy's eyes at eye level.

Rainy nodded her head and placed her hand on Gao Yi's lips, too. ”Then, Uncle cannot be loud; if not, you'll wake Mommy.”

”Okay. We'll both be quiet.” Gao Yi rubbed Rainy's bald head dotingly.

Rainy reached out her small hands again. ”Uncle, hug.”

Gao Yi lifted an eyebrow indifferently, reaching his hands out to lift the child.

”Shall we get you out in the sun for some sunshine?” The child's complexion was extremely pale and in need of some rosiness.

”Okay.” Rainy agreed obediently. She put her arms around Gao Yi's neck. It was different from Mommy's hug, but she liked it as much.

She smiled sweetly and reached her hand out to wave at the sleeping Xia Ruoxin.

”Mommy, Rainy is going out with Uncle to see the sun. We will come back.”

She spoke in a low voice. She did not forget Uncle had told her to not wake Mommy up.

”Smart little imp.” Gao Yi hugged the small child in his arms tightly and walked out, closing the door behind him.

Outside, the sunlight was extremely warm. It did not feel hot at all, just warm.

Gao Yi let Rainy sit on his lap, and he hugged the little body tight. For fear that she might fall down by accident.

”Uncle, it's so warm.” Rainy reached her hand out to cover her eyes.

”Yes.” Gao Yi patted her cheeks. Sure enough, there was some color now.

”Uncle will get you some candy.” He stood up with Rainy in his hands and walked outside.
