"Mother, am I dying?" Little Hess looked up at Ji Ran, there was no sadness in his dark eyes, his eyes were very calm, calm like a pool of lake water, crystal clear.

I don't know if he sees through life and death, or because he is so young and doesn't know what death means, that's why he showed such an innocent and indifferent look.

Ji Ran dodged Little Hess's gaze and looked at the clouds in the west.

As the sun sets, a bright red cloud on the horizon is like blood in the heart, dyeing the clouds in the sky red.

"You won't die, you're an angel, you'll just go to another world." Ji Ran gently stroked Little Hess's cheek and said.

"Which world will I go to? Mother, will you go? Will Uncle Wren go? Little Hess looked at Ji Ran ignorantly and asked, he really wanted to know the answer.

"Yes, we'll go." Ji Ran held back his tears, nodded vigorously, and his choked voice made Xiao Hess hear something abnormal.

"Mother, why are you sad? Is that world bad? Little Hess stretched out his little hand to help Ji Ran wipe his tears, but his little hand was very cold, and the touch on Ji Ran's face was like a moving ice cube, making Ji Ran's tears flow more.

"Hess, you will go to heaven, it is a wonderful world, all good obedient children will go there, and Uncle Rennes and his mother will definitely go to heaven to find you, but you must learn to be strong." Wren walked over, crouched down, patted little Hess on the shoulder, and said.

"Well, Uncle Wren, I will definitely be strong, I am a man." Little Hess said as he struggled to cheer up.

"Yes, you are a man, you are a warrior of heaven." Wren gave him the little gift he had prepared for Hess these days, a small wooden dagger that he could hold in his hand.

This is Wren took half a month to make, compared to the previous gifts, this gift he was more attentive, spent more thought, even the blade of the dagger was carefully engraved with patterns, the delicate lines, concave and convex lines, so that little Hess saw the first sight, he couldn't put it down, tightly held in his hand.

"This is a gift from Uncle to you, you can accompany you to heaven, he will turn into a holy sword, and he will guard you forever." Wren said to Hess Jr.

For Wren's words, Little Hess was convinced, and nodded happily, "Thank you, Uncle Wren." ”

"Uncle, after I'm gone, you must take good care of your mother, okay?" After little Hess was happy, he suddenly thought of Ji Ran, and he said with a look that was almost pleading.

"Uncle promised you that he would take good care of your mother." Wren nodded solemnly and assured Hess Jr.

"After I'm gone, can you have another brother or sister with your mother? My toys are still very new, I can leave them with them, and this sword can be given to my younger siblings. Little Hess said, and returned the wooden dagger he loved to Wren.

Little Hess didn't know it was a dagger, and thought it was a small wooden sword.

Wren was even more sad when he saw that little Hess was so sensible, he was strong and did not show sadness, stretched out his broad palm, and closed Little Hess's small hand tightly.

"Hess, this is the holy sword that guards you, you can keep it, and Uncle can make better gifts for your younger brothers and sisters, you don't have to worry." Wren comforted Hess Jr.

"So, did Uncle agree? I want another brother and sister with my mother, no, more than many, don't let them be lonely like me. Little Hess said, a pair of dark eyes suddenly brightened, he looked at Ji Ran, took Ji Ran's hand, and put it in Wren's hand, so that the hands of the two were tightly clasped together.

Wren held Ji Ran's gentle little hand, this was the first time he held Ji Ran's hand, so smooth and delicate, that feeling, like holding a piece of beautiful jade, made people's heartbeat can't help but speed up a lot.

And Ji Ran felt the temperature from Wren's wide palm, and his cold heart gradually had a trace of warmth, a long-lost sense of security, which seemed to occupy every space in his body at once.

"Uncle Wren, you must help your mother, I want a lot of younger brothers and sisters, you and your mother must bring them to me." Hess Jr. looked at Wren and said.

Wren looked at Ji Ran, Ji Ran had already stopped crying, Wren slowly retracted his gaze and nodded vigorously, "Don't worry, I will live well with your mother, I will give you a lot of younger brothers and sisters, and I will not let you be lonely again." ”

"Hmm." Hess Jr. received Wren's assurance, and then nodded with satisfaction.

In the days that followed, Little Hess's body became thinner and thinner, and his skinny appearance made Ji Ran's heart ache when he looked at it.

Every day seems to be tormented, little Hess's physical condition is getting worse and worse, he is starting to become lazy, he doesn't like to go outside anymore, he likes to lie in bed every day, listen to Ji Ran tell him stories, even if he tells the story many times, he still sounds with relish, as if he heard it for the first time.

At night, he must sleep with Ji Ran in his arms, and only in his mother's arms can he sleep peacefully.

Sometimes, however, I wake up in the middle of the night as if I had a nightmare.

Ji Ran didn't know what nightmares he had, and always comforted him that everything would be fine, but she herself knew that the situation would only get worse and worse, and there was not much time left for their mother and son.

"Mother, I want Uncle Wren to come and sleep with you, okay? I've never seen the two of you together. Little Hess looked at Ji Ran and asked.

Ji Ran was very ashamed in the face of Xiao Hess's question, this is indeed a fact, although the two of them get along every day, but in private, they have not crossed the Lei Chi by half a step, and they have always maintained their due distance.

Originally, this distance could have lasted until little Hess grew up and knew the truth, perhaps he could understand the awkward situation of the two, so he stopped forcing it.

However, no one thought that little Hess would come to the end of his life at such a young age, but his wish became a sharp spear for Ji Ran and Wren to break the ice.

"Mother, would you like to call Uncle Wren to come along? The three of us are together. Little Hess looked at Ji Ran and pleaded.

Ji Ran couldn't bear to refuse, so he had to go to Ren, and after clarifying the situation with Ren, Renne was worried in his heart, after all, Ji Ran was his mistress and the widow of His Royal Highness Mordrake, whom he swore allegiance to death.

If, as a knight, he slept with his mistress regardless of glory and dignity, it would undoubtedly be the greatest stain on his life, and even he could not forgive himself.
