When Fang Ruo woke up, it was already nine o'clock in the morning, and the sounds around her were a little noisy, and Xu Zhuoyuan was facing away from her, looking for something in the bookcase.

Fang Ruo rubbed her sleepy eyes, after crying last night, her eyes were very congested and swollen this morning, she turned over and sat up slowly, Xu Zhuoyuan heard the movement and turned to look at her.

"You finally woke up, I've been waiting for you for a while, you can rest assured, your mother gave birth successfully last night, and you have a younger brother!" His tone was very brisk, as if he had let go of a heavy stone in his heart.

"Oh..." Fang Ruo hesitated a little, this was not an unexpected surprise, she recalled this sentence repeatedly, and she was also relieved to think that her mother and brother were safe.

Xu Zhuoyuan saw a small scratch on her face, and remembered his inexplicable mood last night, he touched his nose a little embarrassed, Fang Ruo was in a daze, and didn't notice his small movements.

"Go wash your face, your eyes are swollen like mosquito bites."

"I had a dream yesterday, oh, weird." Fang Ruo frowned and reminisced about yesterday's dream.

Xu Zhuoyuan turned his back to her but his face turned red, feeling a little weak, no, she also dreamed that I broke in by mistake, will she ask me what I was doing yesterday, I...

"I've been running, I don't know why I can't stop, I can't breathe." Fang Ruo continued with a little headache.

Xu Zhuoyuan breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that she had thought too much, how could she wake up yesterday when she slept like a dead pig.

"You're too tired, don't think about it so much." Xu Zhuo said as he walked out of the door.

After Fang Ruo got up and washed briefly, he followed Xu Zhuoyuan's mother to the hospital, but Xu Zhuoyuan didn't go with him this time, because he was already relieved.

Xu Zhuoyuan's mother is also very happy that her good friend can give birth smoothly, and they all say that a woman's childbirth is a return from the ghost gate, and it is the greatest happiness to be safe and sound.

Fang Ruo sat in the back seat, she watched the street outside the car window continue to retreat, the trees and pedestrians were gradually moving away, yesterday she was still scared, this morning when she opened her eyes, everything was peaceful, as if it was just a big dream.

Fang Ruo followed Xu Zhuoyuan's mother to the ward, her mother was asleep, her face was pale, her lips were closed, and she looked exhausted. Fang Ruo touched his mother's hand distressedly, the ward was very quiet, and the person on the bed next to him was not there.

Fang Ruo looked at the younger brother in the cradle next to his mother, the little one, his face was red, he fell asleep with his eyes closed and sucked his fingers, it was quite cute. After sitting with my mother for a while, my father came in, it looked like he hadn't slept all night last night, he was a little tired but his face was full of smiles, and his eyes couldn't hide the joy, he was very happy, carrying a bag of candy, saying that he was going to distribute it to the doctors and nurses.

The hospital is really a place where you can experience all kinds of living beings, who would have imagined that the excited father in front of him still looked anxious yesterday.

After Fang Ruo's father went out, a young pregnant woman with a big pregnant belly came in, she should be about to give birth, and the two people on the left and right of the pregnant woman carefully supported her and slowly walked out in the direction of the bed next to her.

"xxx (about the mother's name, if you didn't hear it clearly), I think we still consider a natural birth, a natural birth is better for the child, your stomach has not moved after the due date, and the caesarean section recommended by the doctor is not very good for my baby grandson, you still work hard to give birth to yourself." The old woman on the left who was supporting the pregnant woman said as she walked, and the pregnant woman was panting uncomfortably and unable to speak.

"Mom, don't say it again, it's all about listening to the doctor." The man to the right of the pregnant woman rebuked urgently, and it seemed that it should be the husband of the pregnant woman.

As soon as he said this, the old man muttered a few words to himself in a low voice, but did not say anything more.

The young pregnant woman blushed and didn't speak, slowly walked to the side of the bed and lay down carefully, some movements in the room just now made Fang Ruo's mother wake up, she tilted her head to look at the child she gave birth to at the risk of her life yesterday, and smiled happily.

Fang Ruo saw that her mother was awake, and asked her if she was still comfortable, and her mother nodded and spoke softly to comfort her. After a while, the nurse came over to give Fang Ruo's mother an intravenous drip, although she was no longer in danger of life, she still had to recuperate.

Fang Ruo has been going back and forth between Xu Zhuoyuan's house and the hospital these days, and her mother has to stay in the hospital for a week after giving birth, the doctor said that her wound is a little infected, and the hospital stay may be extended, Fang Ruo's father has also asked for leave to accompany her in the hospital.

After eating at Xu Zhuoyuan's house, she went to the hospital to accompany her mother, and as soon as she entered the ward, her mother was talking to the old man on the bed next to her that day, and the mother on the bed was not there, so she should have walked around the corridor. Fang Ruo obediently greeted the old man and sat down next to his mother.

"Do you say it, natural birth should be no fun, I also admit it by caesarean section, as long as my grandson is born safely." Fang Ruo heard the word grandson again, this has not been born yet, does she know the gender of the newborn, she is a little suspicious.

"Well, I also want a boy, and after so many years, I finally got my wish." Fang Ruo's mother said to herself, not paying attention to the dim light in Fang Ruo's eyes next to her.

Fang Ruo suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, what kind of existence did she have for her mother, when she was born, did she also make her parents feel happy and happy.

"You are better, you have children, and you have taken up all a good word." The old man replied in response. Fang Ruo's mother was full of happiness.

There are children, is it not good for a daughter to be a daughter when there is no son, is a daughter a foil to her son, thinking about it, Fang Ruo was sad for a while, lowered his head and his eyes were a little moist.

After a while, Fang Ruo's father came in, and along with some relatives in the family, the grandmother who didn't have a good relationship with her mother also came, she carried a bamboo basket and a plastic snakeskin bag, and the contents of the snakeskin bag shook from time to time, and it seemed that she should be bringing local chickens and eggs.

When Fang Ruo's grandmother gave birth to Fang Ruo's mother, she saw that it was a girl outside the delivery room, and she left with a black face, Fang Ruo's mother had no one to serve when she was confined, and she fell into confinement disease, and her health was not good, so she became a habitual miscarriage when she became pregnant.

Fang Ruo hadn't seen her a few times when she was so old, but now her mother gave birth to a younger brother, but she came uninvited, and she was still carrying a visit gift, which was really a little ridiculous.

The adults seemed to have forgotten their previous displeasure, they were happy, Grandma Fang Ruo was holding the grandson in her hand and smiling happily, everyone was surrounding Fang Ruo's mother and the baby in swaddling clothes, they were laughing, talking and teasing, and the atmosphere in the ward was very beautiful.

No one paid attention to Fang Ruo, she stood at the end of the bed, her eyes swept over the happy faces of everyone in front of her, stopped, and finally withdrew her gaze. Finally, today, for the first time when she was young, she felt what is called real loneliness, which is that everyone is only looking at the bustle and prosperity in front of them, and no one even glances at the loneliness in the eyes of people in the corner.

No one knew how frightened and helpless she had that night, no one cared about how she felt in her heart, and ecstasy rushed over them, and she had nothing.

In the evening, Fang Ruo returned to Xu Zhuoyuan's house like a dead heart, Xu Zhuoyuan's parents had just gone out for a walk, Xu Zhuoyuan wanted to ask if she had borrowed a book from her before and put it at her house or her own home, but before she could say anything, she was startled when she saw her face.

"What's wrong with you, are you sick? The face is so bad, my parents went out for a walk, I was afraid that you didn't go when you came back and no one was at home, and you were bullied on the way back? You speak...... you... The more Xu Zhuoyuan spoke, the more anxious he became, and the young man did not hide his heart.

Xu Zhuoyuan's hurried words abruptly stopped under Fang Ruo's quietly falling tears, he looked at Fang Ruo in a daze, his brain was blank, he didn't know if he had made her sad by saying the wrong thing just now, whether his tone was too fierce or something.

Xu Zhuoyuan felt his scalp tingle and just wanted to stop her tears, he kept apologizing, Fang Ruo bit his lip and shook his head, but the tears kept flowing.

"It's not..., it's not you, it's me... I... Myself," Fang Ruo choked with a sob.

"You tell me slowly, what's going on." Xu Zhuoyuan looked at her undulating shoulders, like a butterfly flapping its wings.

Fang Ruo didn't speak, she didn't know what was wrong, when she saw Xu Zhuoyuan, he obviously spoke in a tone that was not gentle, and even a little impatient, and smashed his head and face at her, but she felt a great warmth in her heart, only he cared about himself, only he would think about himself, and all the grievances and sadness he felt in the hospital during the day couldn't help but pour out at this moment.

Sometimes people are like this, when they encounter a big thing, they will bear and endure it, if someone cares about themselves at this time, the wall that has been built in their hearts will collapse, and they are so fragile that they only want to confide their inner grievances to the people who come.

Fang Ruo felt a little tired after sobbing for a while, she leaned back on the soft sofa, her eyes closed and her mouth trembled, but she didn't speak.

Xu Zhuoyuan didn't know why she was sad in her heart, he wanted to speak and stopped, wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask, today he was scared by her like this, Fang Ruo had never shed tears in front of him, Rao used to tease and bully her, she also stubbornly never cried, but today's sudden tears made him feel that there was an empty piece somewhere in his heart, and it was rumbling.

After a long time, Fang Ruo finally eased up, she opened her eyes and saw Xu Zhuoyuan falling asleep on the sofa next to her, watching him sleep soundly, she suddenly felt a little funny.

She got up lightly and left, she was going to her own house to take a bath and come back, although she was now temporarily living in Xu Zhuoyuan's house, she was still used to taking a bath in her own home, and the change of clothes was also at home, which was both convenient and relaxed.

Xu Zhuoyuan didn't know why he fell asleep, he leaned on the sofa and waited for Fang Ruo to talk to him, and closed his eyes after waiting. When he woke up, Fang Ruo was looking at him with his face propped up, his clothes had changed, and he couldn't see the appearance of crying on his face, as if what had just happened was just a dream of his own.

"You... Are you all right? Xu Zhuoyuan asked blankly.

"I'm fine, thank you, Xu Zhuoyuan." Fang Ruo frowned and smiled.

Fang Ruo's serious and polite words made him feel a little awkward, he obviously didn't do anything, why did she thank herself when she opened her mouth... Fang Ruo didn't explain again, she diverted the topic and said that the movie she had made with him before would be postponed, and the two of them communicated with each other as usual, and no one mentioned what happened just now.

When Fang Ruo grew up, she recalled this day, and only remembered the panic in Xu Zhuoyuan's tone and the tears she couldn't stop at that time, but she felt that Xu Zhuoyuan gave her great comfort at that time.

The grievances in her heart, her haste, the ignorance and fear of her youth, were all redeemed because of him, and she knew at that time that no matter what, he would always be there, and she would never be alone from now on.

Fang Ruo's mother was finally discharged after staying in the hospital for a while, and that day Fang Ruo went to pick up her mother and go home, she saw that the pregnant young woman on the bed next to her had a flat stomach, she was lying on the bed, with tears in her eyes, looking straight at the ceiling, silent like a statue.

The old man who served her next to her had a solemn face, and he didn't have the same vigor as before, and the sound of the newborn baby's crying and the sound of the old man's mouth were so noisy and harsh. When she got home, her mother told her that the young woman had given birth to a girl.
