Section 2

My boyfriend has a stomach issue, and I am here to take care of him. "When mentioning her boyfriend, Ruisa seemed to perk up a bit, revealing a helpless smile. "When the opportunity arises, I will introduce him to you. You also ruined your health because of work-related socializing; you men only make women worry.

The Bai sisters are well-maintained, and Bai Min has a cheerful and lively personality. Even in her forties, she does not show her age at all, resembling a true Wang Xifeng. However, just a few days ago, she packed only a simple suitcase and came over from Shanghai, as if those years had suddenly returned to her, leaving her with a gaunt and haggard appearance, yet she endures it with great restraint

Bai Su felt that if this continued, her younger brother would surely become mentally ill from the confinement. Therefore, she often brought her young son, Bai Xiaosheng, to the hospital to see him. Xiaosheng still did not know how to call him 'father,' and Bai Xiyan did not force him to do so; in fact, the child was not very close to him. Young children are always the most tender and sensitive; they can clearly perceive the warmth and indifference of adults.

"I am not a saint." Bai Xiyan's eyes were misty, lacking focus, "Sister, you are not a saintess either."

By the way, your second sister has gotten divorced

Bai Xiyan tossed the ball lightly, yet she caught it accurately again, smiling as she said: "I originally thought about becoming a painter, the kind that wanders everywhere. My mother actually agreed, but in the end, I went into business."

It is regretful, with you obstructing me, delaying my search for my true soulmate

The younger brother's reaction was within Bai Su's expectations, yet she still felt sad, staring blankly as she repeated, "After all, she is your second sister... you haven't seen her like that..."

Rihanna's beautiful mixed-race face revealed a teasing expression: "Are you having regrets?"

What happened to your eyes

You indeed have patience with children

The little nurse covered her mouth, laughing as her shoulders shook: "Alright, I'm leaving now. The sisters at the nurses' station said I shouldn't talk to you, Mr. Bai, for too long, or I might get pregnant."

Bai Xiyan chuckled lightly, and before parting, they exchanged new contact information. Their lack of communication with each other was a mutual understanding. Especially for Ruisha, as the ex-girlfriend, she could not help but dislike the girl beside her ex-boyfriend.

Risa did not answer him and covered her mouth while crying

"Xie Yan..." Bai Su advised, "After all, she is your second sister."

Bai Su quietly put the camera into her bag, watching them being affectionate, and felt very pleased. She smiled and said, "It is often said that boys will resemble their mothers. I used to not believe this; my son does not look like me. However, Xiaosheng is increasingly resembling Xiaotong as he grows. Speaking of which, Xiaotong's genes are quite dominant, especially his eyes, which cannot be disguised when taken out."

Actually, I want to become a kindergarten teacher, but my mother does not allow me to take care of children and insists that I pursue a nursing major

From now on, there is no need to inform me about her matters. Bai Xiyan put down the spoon, picked up the napkin beside her, and wiped the corner of her mouth, stating, I am full

I did not expect to encounter an old acquaintance just as I was about to be discharged after staying in the hospital for six months

Bai Xiyan held the candy in his hand, sighing inwardly, yet the corners of his mouth and his expression brightened. He liked this child

"Go to hell, you were so good to me before, what is there for me to cry about?" Ruisha laughed through her tears, "You look so different, I am truly shocked. You really have a talent, to make your ex-girlfriend, who has been apart from you for nearly ten years, cry for you."

He will be discharged in two days, and the nurse has prepared a gift for him. In his hand, he holds a ball, which is very light, made of plastic, and is probably a small toy that costs around 10 yuan at the supermarket

Bai Su finds it quite simple; children grow up too quickly, and she does not want to wait until he grows up without even a single photograph with his father.

"Rest assured, if I get pregnant, I will give birth!" The little nurse finished speaking, covered her face, and ran away laughing heartily

A person lives in this world, relying on their parents in childhood, and after growing up, they can only rely on themselves. Even the closest individuals cannot think with your heart or walk the path you have arranged with your feet

This has nothing to do with who that girl is, nor does it relate to whether she loves Bai Xiyan; it is merely a common ailment of the species known as "ex-girlfriends" in the world

Hmph, I should have known long ago that an ex-boyfriend is a bothersome existence

Bai Xiyan smiled and changed the subject: "Are you sick? Or are you here to see a patient?"

... ...

After a while, Bai Xiyan heard a familiar, delicate female voice tinged with tears.

Bai Xiyan held the candy, somewhat curious: "How can candy be bitter?"

Previously, Bai Xiyan was very resistant to the existence of Xia Sheng. Although he is no longer resistant now, he has also lost the initial opportunity to establish an intimate relationship. The excitement and shyness of being a parent are experiences he has not had, which is indeed a regretful matter.

In the past, when his eyesight was good, he thought he could see everything clearly, but it was merely like a blind man touching an elephant. Now that he cannot see the world, he is able to think in darkness and solitude, and as a result, every pore has sensitively opened its eyes, truly perceiving the reality of this world

Generally speaking, those who cannot see are often very helpless and lonely, yet Bai Xiyan finds it bothersome and does not allow anyone to accompany him. His elder sister, Bai Su, cannot resist his temper, but she is still curious about how he spends his time alone. One time, she quietly stood at the door of the hospital room to observe her brother and discovered that he did nothing all day, simply gazing quietly out the window

Bai Xiyan was left in a daze by his constant back-and-forth between bitterness and sweetness, feeling quite puzzled. Bai Su noticed that her little nephew was so anxious that his brows were furrowed together, and she chuckled as she explained for him: "A couple of days ago, he caught a cold and took some medicine, and the nanny gave him a piece of candy to eat, so his mouth wasn't bitter anymore"

A small hand rested on his knee, and Bai Xiyan instinctively covered it. The soft little hand felt like a tiny planet in his palm, while the small planet held a piece of candy, placed in his hand.

On a Friday afternoon, he was taken by the nurse to the green space behind the hospital to bask in the sun, as it was said to aid in the synthesis of vitamin D and also serve as a natural disinfectant

Bai Xiyan remained silent, half-embracing Xia Sheng while trying to feed him fruit, showing no intention of speaking a word.

Human beings are inherently lonely and selfish individuals

But he could say anything, and Ruisa would not hear it. She was so heartbroken that she could only cry. When she broke up with Bai Xiyan, it was she who initiated it. They held no grudges; their feelings had faded, and they simply parted ways. No longer being lovers, they had almost lost contact, yet deep down, they remained as close as childhood friends.

Bai Su couldn't help but laugh, truly a foolish younger brother. Although it is said that Miao Tong is also beautiful, in terms of appearance, he is naturally more outstanding. However, a younger brother sees his beloved as a beauty, so he naturally thinks Miao Tong is perfect in every way. There is simply no chance of winning an argument with him on this topic

Bai Su paused for a moment and then sighed: "Forget it, if you don't want to hear it, I won't say anything."

"Bitter." Xia Sheng's voice was like glutinous rice candy, "I give this to you."

Bai Xiyan naturally remembered her voice, after all, they had loved each other for so many years. With a slight smile, he said: "Ruisha, what are you doing here?"

Most of the time, Bai Xiyan could not clearly distinguish between day and night. Fortunately, the time when the doctor came for rounds each day was fixed, so he used this to estimate the approximate time.

Bai Xiyan chuckled silently, and with a slight tremor of her hand, the plastic ball rolled out of her grasp. She hurriedly reached out her hand to feel around, but instead, she touched someone else's foot. She quickly withdrew her hand and calmly apologized: "I am sorry, it was not intentional. I cannot see, could you please help me pick up my ball?"

The person opposite remained silent, yet there was no sound of departure; Bai Xiyan furrowed her brow in confusion, only hearing the heavy sound of breathing

I was unable to marry you back then; with my experience as a cautionary tale, your boyfriend will certainly strive to marry you as soon as possible, to avoid being kicked aside and left with nothing.

This scene was captured by Bai Su in the camera. Taking advantage of the fact that Bai Xiyan could not see, he took numerous photos of the father and son together

Bai Xiyan was taken aback, unsure of how to respond.

What are you crying about? It is merely a postoperative complication, and it can be treated

That day, several hospitalized children were playing with this kind of ball on the green lawn. In fact, the convenience store in the hospital sells them for 8 yuan each. However, Xiaosheng saw it and stood here for a long time without leaving. It seems that Sister Baisu didn't notice, so you can take it home for him to play with; he will like it.

He has made up his mind to be selfish and to prioritize himself

The little nurse did not find the gift to be insignificant; after all, what could Mr. Bai not afford? It was merely a gesture of goodwill

Marriage also requires a proper explanation to the Zhao family. She lifted a stone only to drop it on her own foot, yet she refuses to bow her head and apologize to her own family. In the end, the outcome of a divorce is not entirely a loss.

Bai Xiyan persuaded for a long time before Ruisha gradually stopped crying

If it were not for Bai Su taking it to be used for in vitro fertilization, and instead it were Miao Tong's, then Second Sister Bai Min would most likely still be working hard to facilitate his marriage with Zhu Yuke, regardless of whether he is willing or not, even if it is a marriage that exists only in name.

Xia Sheng clasped his palms together to indicate that he would not take it back, and said earnestly: "Sweet!" He is still unable to speak in coherent complete sentences.

Listening to her sobs, Bai Xiyan found it quite novel: "You weren't this prone to tears before, were you? Has menopause arrived early?"

"She is the best," Bai Xiyan added, "She is beautiful."

It is not acceptable to harm others simply because it is done with "good intentions"; this applies even to family members.
