Late at night, on the bed in the bedroom, the sleeping woman seemed to be uncomfortably clutching the quilt tightly, and her delicate eyebrows were wrinkled.

As if dreaming of something terrible, she twisted her body slightly uneasily, trying hard to break free of something, and at the same time her beautiful sleeping face showed an extremely painful expression.

The man sleeping beside her opened his eyes, turned around in distress, and reached out to soothe the woman, his large broad palm caressing her hair slowly and gently, while holding one of her small hands outside the cup, and placing it in his arms to warm it.

Because of his touch, her terrible nightmare was gradually driven away. She slowly calmed down, and her rapid breathing finally became even.

Tang Xiao didn't know why this night, he always had nightmares repeatedly, Cheng Lie had always been very alert in his sleep, and often when she made a slight noise, he woke up immediately.

In this way, keep waking up to comfort her, even the iron beaten people will inevitably feel tired, and after repeating this process four or five times, when the white belly of the fish gradually appears in the sky, Cheng Lie also feels sleepy.

He fell into a brief deep sleep, and at that moment, the woman beside him opened her eyes suddenly.

Her head hurt and her whole body was very uncomfortable, she remembered that she had been tormented by nightmares repeatedly this night, and she vaguely knew that Cheng Yeol had been comforting her.

Looking at the hand that was still holding her in her sleep, she felt a slight pain in her heart, held his hand with her backhand, and sighed silently.

Maybe it was because of Xie Linglong's words, she often felt extremely uneasy in her heart. And she couldn't do anything when she was sick, she had to have Cheng Lie when she went out, she understood that she had brought great inconvenience to Cheng Lie's life, although Cheng Lie didn't say anything, she couldn't stop blaming herself in her heart.

In the nightmares that came and went this night, she dreamed of parting again.

Someone was saying goodbye to her, and she couldn't remember who it was, but she felt a suffocating pain in her dreams.

However, life always has to face all kinds of parting, life or death, which is more painful.

Although people can live without anyone and not die immediately, it is better to live than to die, and it will be more uncomfortable than death.

She was really afraid of parting.

Once again, her heart ached, and the wounds on her body that had not yet healed were uncontrollably painful, and they were eating away at her bit by bit, like a black tide that was about to drown the reef that was about to emerge from the sea.

That drowning suffocation came again...... Tang Xiao endured it again and again, not wanting to wake up Cheng Lie again because of herself, but she soon realized that her fingers couldn't stop trembling slightly because of the pain.

She bit her lip tightly so that she didn't make any sound, and withdrew her fingers from Cheng Yeol's hand with the slightest movement.

Cheng Yeol didn't wake up. This made her breathe a sigh of relief.

She closed her eyes and tried to make herself forget the pain that had been with her, but to no avail, she pressed her hands tightly against her chest as she gritted her teeth and tried not to make any noise.

It didn't work......

Even when she closed her eyes, she could still see a myriad of welcomes, like huge black demons that swooped down on her, about to devour all her flesh.

She tasted the slight rust in her mouth, why? Could it be that she bit her lip to bleed? Tang Xiao licked her lips, and immediately felt that the rust smell became even stronger.

The smell made her feel so uncomfortable, and her stomach fluttered, and she didn't know when she had become so fragile that she couldn't stand even the slightest smell of blood.

She decided to drink a little water to wash the smell of blood off her mouth, but she soon realized that even drinking water was not so easy for her.

If you are a normal person, getting up at night to drink water is nothing more than getting out of bed, pouring water, drinking water, these few steps.

But for Tang Xiao, how to move his heavy and unfree body, and at the same time not let Cheng Lie, who was finally asleep, find out, is a big problem.

She looked sideways at his handsome, peaceful sleeping face lying flat on the bed, with obvious tiredness on it—she had tired him, and now that she could not wake him again, what she ought to do was not to always make herself a burden.

So, with all the pain all over her body, she straightened up from the bed with difficulty and sat up. Even with such an action, she put a lot of effort into it, and the movement was extremely slow, which reminded her of the characters in an animation called "Zootopia" that Cheng Lie had watched with her.

Thinking of this, she pulled the corners of her mouth self-deprecatingly, at that time she also told Cheng Lie that the sloth was really too slow, it was like a snail, and Cheng Lie smiled and said that the sloth was very cute when it was slow.

It's really cute, but Tang Xiao doesn't want to be a sloth at all.

Well, I finally moved myself to the side of the bed.

Tang Xiao felt a burst of excitement, and through the light coming in through the window, she could see that there was a boiling water bottle on a low table one meter away from the bedside table, and there was a clean empty water cup next to the boiling water bottle.

Then, just move yourself over and pour yourself a glass of water, and you've done.

She hadn't done such a simple thing in a while.

I have to say that Cheng Lie really takes care of her too well, he is always so meticulous, he often doesn't need her to speak, as long as he looks and moves, he can accurately guess her thoughts.

Even if it was a flash of her thoughts, he was always able to quickly help her realize them.

I am afraid that no one in the world understands her better.

It's just that...... In this way, he needs to think about her at all times, and take care of her every feeling, because of her, he even completely gave up his work and mission, and devoted himself to taking care of and accompanying her. She was moved by this, and she was worried about it. Such a woman is undoubtedly too heavy a burden for him.

Still, she would try not to trouble him from now on, she thought.

She carefully moved her heavy legs, and finally sat on the edge of the bed, glanced back at Cheng Lie, and saw that he was still asleep, so she was relieved.

The distance in front of her is only one meter away, which is just a step away for a normal person, but for her, it is a huge challenge.

During this time, she also practiced walking, but it was all with the help of Cheng Lie, whether a person could stabilize, to be honest, she was not confident.

However, her days in the hospital have not been short, can't she even do such a simple thing?

Tang Xiao secretly clenched her fists, her eyes fixed on her target, the insulated boiling water bottle located on the low table.

She must be able to do it, can't she?

It's not like she hasn't encountered things that are many times more difficult than this, hasn't she overcome them one by one?

It's just a matter of standing up, supporting your legs and walking a meter away, and pouring yourself a glass of water.

Could she not be able to do such a simple thing?

Don't be afraid, Tang Xiao, if you can stand up, you will definitely be able to walk over without relying on anyone, just rely on your own strength to complete this little thing.

You have to be strong, you have to be independent, you have to reduce the burden of Cheng Lie, don't let him be so tired, you have to get better quickly, you have to become stronger and stronger, you have to work hard to be with him for the rest of your life, and you don't have to be separated by anyone and any force from each other, isn't it?

Don laughs, you have to stand up.

Tang Xiao clenched his fists tightly, exerted all his strength, and finally stood up on the bed.

Her feet were on the ground, and it felt strange, strange, yet familiar, and joyful.

She sincerely misses the days when she was able to walk freely, run and jump freely.

She now deeply feels how stupid it used to be to choose to ride in a car and not use her feet when she could walk.

She can't wait to measure the world with her feet, and she can't wait to sign up for a city marathon and see the whole city along the way.

What a joy it would be.

Tang Xiao secretly swore in her heart that when she got better, she must make good use of her feet, and she must not let go of the opportunity to walk freely.

However, all of this is premised on that she can now take the step in front of her.

Sooner or later, don't you?

Tang smiled, stand up, don't be afraid, and move forward.

She took a deep breath, restrained the fear in her heart, and the pain that came from the marrow of her legs, and took a gentle step forward—

She succeeded!

Although this step was only about twenty centimeters away, but, at least, she did not rely on anyone, did not rely on any tools, and completed this distance by her own strength.

She stretched out her arms as if she were standing on a high balance beam, trying to keep her balance and calm her swaying body and slightly trembling legs.

Tang Xiao, steady, you can do it.

You can do it.

She kept telling herself in her heart to cheer herself up.

The low table was very, very close to her. It's just that it takes at least three or four steps to get close to her.

Her legs weren't enough for her to take a big stride as she pleased.

It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, it's just a little bit of distance, just a few more successful steps like this.

She could. She'll definitely be able to.

Tang Xiao dragged his heavy right leg like walking on thin ice, allowing himself to move forward again.

Yes......!

A sharp pain came from her legs, and her body shook violently, and she almost fell headlong-

But she stubbornly held herself, despite the pain, as if she was stepping on the tip of a knife.

She now finally understands what a cruel fairy tale "Daughter of the Sea" is.

The mermaid princess in the fairy tale, who gave everything for love, exchanged her beautiful fishtail for human legs, and was finally able to step towards the prince of her dreams.

It's just that every step she takes is like stepping on the tip of a knife. Every step she took, she endured immense pain.

Compared with her, Tang Xiao has been too lucky.

She took a deep breath, looked at the low table in front of her, and thought, use the last step to complete this little adventure tonight!

Gritting her teeth and enduring the chilling pain, she stared at her target in the darkness and stepped forward once more......
