In the middle of the night, the city was shrouded in darkness, and the slow air flow never stopped, as if everyone's thoughts were entangled by the bits and pieces of time.

Some people rejoice and some people worry.

"Mommy...... Daddy......"

"Buns...... Maruko is afraid ......"

"Woo...... Maruko is going home......"

In the empty factory, the girl's low whimper was particularly clear, and it suddenly woke up a boy who was resting on a pillar.

Nan Nan hurriedly got up and came to Yue Mengmeng's side, but saw that the girl's little face was unusually ruddy, and her pink mouth was whimpering slightly.

"Maruko, wake up ......"

He stretched out his hand to touch it, but he was so hot that he subconsciously retracted his hand, and he hesitantly stretched out his hand again, but the palm of his hand seemed to be roasted by a fire, so hot that his blood coagulated.

Fever......

didn't have time to think about it, Nan Nan immediately rushed out, and when he came back, there was a dirty iron bowl in his hand, he swept around, and finally fell on himself.

With a "tearing" sound, a piece of cloth appeared in the palm of his hand.

He poured water on the cloth, wrung it out, and folded it into four squares and covered Yue Mengmeng's head.

From beginning to end, it was done with care.

Gentle as a spring breeze.

*

In the villa, the huge space is filled with light, but the atmosphere is tense.

A group of servants stood cautiously aside, Zhao Qingluo sat on the sofa with a small bun in her arms, Yue Tingcheng kept pacing back and forth, and something called anxiety was growing infinitely.

"Boom-"

The ringing of the ancient heavy bell heralded another hour to pass.

The atmosphere then became heavier, and suddenly there was a discordant sound.

"Hello? How's it going? ”

Yue Tingcheng quickly took out his mobile phone to answer, and his voice was so low that people couldn't guess his emotions.

I don't know what the other party said, Yue Tingcheng's face changed suddenly, there was an obvious gloom between his eyebrows, and he said in a low voice: "No matter what, you have to find it out for me!" Even if I dig three feet into the ground, I want the result, otherwise you will fuck me off! ”

With that, he hung up the phone and threw it on the coffee table.

The sound of "clang" made everyone's hearts rise.

"Husband, is there any news......

Zhao Qingluo's heart also skipped a beat, and the panic that she had finally restrained immediately surfaced, and she looked at Yue Tingcheng with expectation in her eyes.

Her balls......

Yue Tingcheng looked deeply at his wife, then at the servants on the side, and said in a low voice, "You go back and rest first." ”

"Young master, we can wait for the little lady ...... together"

"Go back. Go to work tomorrow as usual. Yue Tingcheng snorted coldly.

The servants shook their bodies together, and finally left.

"Husband, you say! Will she be okay with the balls......" As soon as the person left, Zhao Qingluo's voice couldn't help but increase, faintly revealing a hint of crying.

When Xiao Baozi heard Mommy's words, her little body trembled slightly, her head was buried in Zhao Qingluo's arms, and she didn't say a word, her two little hands tightly grabbed her clothes, looking like an injured kitten.

If it weren't for him, Maruko wouldn't have disappeared......

A feeling called self-reproach grew and spread in his heart.

Yue Tingcheng didn't speak, and his thin lips pursed lightly.

Seeing this, Zhao Qingluo's whole person seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar, and the blood all over her body was instantly coagulated.

"Yue Tingcheng! You say! Zhao Qingluo raised her voice again, her eyes became scarlet, and she stared at Yue Tingcheng deadly, for fear that she would miss a breath.

But in the bottom of my heart, I was comforting myself, and the pills would be fine......

"No news yet," Yue Tingcheng glanced slightly.

"No news...... Zhao Qingluo murmured in a low voice, she didn't even notice the little bun in her arms when she raised her head, and her eyes began to burst into tears, "My little pill, Mommy can't find you, what should Mommy do......"

Tears hit Xiao Baozi's face without warning, like a silk thread pulling his painful and self-blaming heart, as strong as he also shed tears with Mommy.

“……”

Seeing his wife and son like this, Yue Tingcheng was almost about to go crazy.

But he couldn't fall, and Maruko was still waiting for Daddy to find her.

"Green Radix ......"

"Don't call me! It's all your bad idea! It's all you! Zhao Qingluo yelled as if she was stimulated, and then tore her hair with self-blame, whimpering, "It's all me, it's all me......"

"Mommy......" Xiao Baozi wanted to reach out to stop her, but she was weak.

"Qingluo!" Yue Tingcheng came to her in three steps and two steps, forcibly restrained her behavior, and whispered with his forehead against her forehead: "Don't always think about the worst, there may be a turnaround if there is no news, it is only a matter of time before you find the pills, if the pills are okay and you fall, how uncomfortable the pills should be, are you right?" ”

Zhao Qingluo didn't speak, didn't resist, just whimpered quietly.

Like an injured kitten, Yue Tingcheng was distressed when he heard it.

After crying for a while, Zhao Qingluo gradually calmed down and asked Yue Tingcheng to let go of her.

"You promise, Maruko will be fine, right?" It may sound very vexatious, but Zhao Qingluo can't find any way to convince herself.

A pair of eyes were as red as rabbit eyes, and there were tears in them.

Looking at Yue Tingcheng, like looking at God, I only hope that he can give her an affirmation.

"It's going to be fine." Yue Tingcheng looked at her quietly and said in a deep voice.

The disappearance of his daughter, his mood is not much better than Zhao Qingluo.

But nowadays, they have only one word, etc.

I don't know how long it took, the family of three was still waiting in the living room, and even Yue Tingcheng was irritable and got the cold wind blowing at the door to smoke, and it seemed that time passed very slowly.

"Mommy ......"

The crispy children's voice was faint and weak, and the little bun gently pulled Zhao Qingluo, and her little face had already become red, but the thoughts of the two adults were not on the line.

"Huh?" Zhao Qingluo suddenly came back to her senses, and her eyes were thick bloodshot.

"I'm thirsty ......"

"Baozi, why is your face so red? Is there something uncomfortable? As soon as Zhao Qingluo saw the appearance of the little bun, she was instantly nervous like a rabbit that was about to jump, and reached out to touch his forehead, which was terrifyingly hot, making her subconsciously withdraw her hand.

"Thirsty ......"

Xiao Baozi looked at her with confused eyes, and his consciousness was almost gone.

Not long ago, he felt that his head was heavy, but he was afraid that Mommy would worry, so he didn't dare to speak, so he could only lie down and endure it, and his heart was also suffering.

He still thought that he could hold on for a long time, maybe wait until Maruko came back?

It seems that now, he can't wait.

Maruko, my brother is wrong......

"Listen to the city, listen to the city!"

Yue Tingcheng, who was outside the door, vaguely heard Zhao Qingluo calling him, and hurriedly went back, the woman's anxious words were thrown over like a bombshell, "Baozi has a fever!" Hurry up and call a doctor! ”

He took out his long-dormant phone and made a call.

in the room.

Xiao Baozi was lying on the soft bed, covered with a thick quilt, and a fever-reducing patch was attached to his head, but it couldn't block his painful brow, but the flushing on his face had receded a lot.

"Doctor, how are the buns?" Zhao Qingluo asked in a low voice.

"Madam, don't worry, this is a nervous sensitivity caused by emotions, which leads to a fever, but if you take antipyretic medicine in time, the little master only needs to sleep well to recover." The doctor replied as he put away the medical kit he had with him.

Zhao Qingluo didn't speak, just looked at him fixedly, and the doctor reacted later, and smiled awkwardly, "The child has something in his heart, but he is too young to support his body." ”

Zhao Qingluo still didn't speak, just sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Xiao Baozi fixedly.

"Let's go out and talk."

Yue Tingcheng knew that she needed time to digest, and whispered to the doctor to leave with him.

After a long time, there was a sound of footsteps, neither light nor heavy.

"Little Bun will be fine, right?"

Zhao Qingluo was holding Xiao Baozi's hand at this time, muttering quietly, as if she was talking to someone who came, and she seemed to be comforting herself.

"It's going to be fine."

Yue Tingcheng hugged Zhao Qingluo into his arms from behind, his chin rested on her head, and his eyes were half-squinted, as if he was giving silent comfort and enjoying a moment of comfort.

"Listen to the city......" Zhao Qingluo called him in a low voice, Yue Tingcheng listened to the ear, but heard the woman's ethereal and ethereal words with a thick sense of self-reproach, "I'm not a competent mother, I lost the pills, will the pills hate me......"

If she hadn't brought Nan Nan back, nothing like this would have happened.

It's all her fault......

"Fool, don't think too much, everything will be fine."

Hearing this, Yue Tingcheng blamed himself and felt distressed, blaming himself for being too careless and putting the pills in danger, and feeling sorry for Zhao Qingluo for taking all the fault on herself, even if she accused him not long ago.

"Buns he ......"

"It's going to be fine." Yue Tingcheng's deep voice hit Zhao Qingluo's body like a tranquilizer, calming that restless heart a lot.

Yue Tingcheng won't lie to her, she can't fall, she has to wait for Maruko to go home.

"Hmm."

"Maruko ......"

At this time, the boy's voice sounded, which seemed particularly abrupt, but it was not clear.

"Buns!" As soon as she heard the voice, Zhao Qingluo subconsciously went to look at him, but found that his eyes were still closed, and his pale little face still showed pain, but his mouth was open.

It seems that he is dreaming about something, talking in a dream.

"Maruko...... Brother is wrong......"

Yue Tingcheng and Zhao Qingluo listened quietly, only to hear what Baozi was saying, the former was silent, and the latter directly burst into tears, as if tears would fall in the next second.

"Listen to the ...... of the city"

Zhao Qingluo only felt that it was not a taste in her heart, but she didn't expect that the little bun was not the two of them as parents, but for not protecting her sister......

"Qingluo, you have to be calm, you know? Not only meatballs. Baozi also needs you, as for the matter of meatballs, believe me, okay? Yue Tingcheng picked up her face and forced her to look at herself, her eyes mixed with tears, pain and guilt.

He didn't want to see such a look, and his heart hurt.

Zhao Qingluo nodded, a dragonfly kiss fell on the corner of her mouth, she closed her eyes, and a teardrop slid down her cheek.

After settling down with his wife, Yue Tingcheng returned to the study and made another phone call, using his last strength just to find the whereabouts of Maruko.

He stood at the window, circles of white smoke swirling in the wind.

Night, after all, can't be settled.
