Five years later.

In the middle of nowhere, in the middle of nowhere, the countryside has long since turned into a sea of flowers.

The small white apartment of that year, with the joint efforts of the founder and the beautiful girl, gradually expanded in scale, and the small apartment became no longer lonely, and several small western-style buildings stood beside it in the past five years.

Here, the innocent laughter of children is everywhere!

The girl remembers that when she first came to this place, she was only nineteen years old, and at that time, there were very few children rescued, and most of the time it was very quiet.

At first, she also liked the calmness, but now, she fell in love with the excitement and enjoyed the joy that the children brought her.

Because if it weren't for these angels, I'm afraid she would never have come out of that boundless darkness.

And now, some of the children who were with her back then have left here. They are very competitive and strive to shine in their field.

Every time she receives a letter from the children, she will be happy for a long time, and she will be proud of these children from the bottom of her heart.

Sometimes, she reads these letters to the young children who live here, hoping to give them motivation.

Five years is enough time to turn everything upside down.

The man who was born more beautiful than a woman, the focus of his life is no longer the ancient castle with a history of 100 years.

In five years, a lot has happened. And these things also made him make a new choice.

Now, he comes to this remote but warm place almost every day.

With her and children, these are his most cherished treasures.

In the evening, Xia Muxi prepared the children's dinner and was called aside by Si Yisheng.

The girl's left foot, slightly lame.

Five years ago, her calf was broken by that big man, and her body had fallen to the root of the disease, so no matter how good his medical skills were, he couldn't give her a healthy leg.

As time passed, the self-blame in his heart would become deeper.

"What's wrong?" She sat beside him, a delicate little smile on her face.

"I'm going back tomorrow, maybe it will take a little longer."

"Are you ready with your luggage? Need me to help you tidy up? ”

"No, everything will be arranged over there."

"That's good, one has to take good care of himself."

"What to do, I'll miss you." Si Yisheng sighed, leaned back on the sofa, and said lazily. Actually, he just wanted to say that he would miss her. But he knew that now was not the time.

"Will you?" The girl chuckled.

"You are my only relative, I really want to take you with me at any time, even if I can't bring them all, if only one is good." He said this on purpose, wanting to see the girl's reaction.

"That's not okay, you know it's discrimination, you know? Either bring them all, or don't bring them at all, so it's fair. ”

"Okay, listen to you, I'm destined to be alone." Muxi, sure enough, are you still reluctant to go back to that place?

The next day, Si Yisheng went to the airport alone and embarked on the journey home.

Muxi, no matter what choice you make, I will respect you and support you.

On the third day of Si Yisheng's arrival in China, Xia Muxi received a call from him.

"Is everything going well?" She asked.

"Miss Muxi, I'm Mr. Si's assistant."

"How did he get his phone in your hand?" This is his private number, and he doesn't usually give it to anyone else. "Did something happen?" The girl's tone suddenly tensed.

"Mr. Si personally went to inspect the newly built construction site yesterday, but he encountered an accident and is now being treated in the hospital."

"Seriously? How is he doing now? ”

"Although the injury was not serious, I was still asked by the doctor to stay in the hospital for recuperation."

"I know, please take good care of him, I will take the earliest flight tomorrow to rush over, until I arrive, don't tell him for the time being." Because if that person knew she was coming, he would definitely be worried.

"Okay."

After Xia Muxi put down the phone, he said a few words to the other volunteers and returned to the room. I simply sorted out a few clothes, and then booked a flight from the UK to China early tomorrow morning.

I didn't expect to come back to that place one day.

But it's okay anymore, it's been so long, and she's no longer the little girl she was back then. Besides, the city is so big, the chance of meeting it is too slim, and even if it does, it is nothing.

Because it's all in the past.

Xia Muxi arrived at the hospital where Si Yisheng was at three o'clock in the morning the next day, and when the man was still asleep, he suddenly smelled the familiar faint aroma, and he opened his eyes in disbelief.

And then.

It looks like fireworks are blooming in front of you!

"Muxi, you..." His voice was a little hoarse, and he couldn't tell if it was because he had just woken up or because of her sudden appearance. In short, he was very happy to see her.

The girl was wearing a snow-white dress, her long hair was scattered, there were some dense beads of sweat on her delicate forehead, and her breath was slightly disordered. As soon as I saw it, I knew that I was in a hurry.

"Why was you so careless?" She put down her luggage and walked over to him in some haste.

"Slow down, I'm fine." He hurriedly got up and reached out to hold her.

"How can you lie here if you're fine? You're a doctor yourself, so you don't know how to take care of yourself. Her tone was full of nervousness and worry. After careful confirmation, it was found that the injury on the man's body was really not a big deal, and the heart that had been hanging slowly let go.

"It's my fault, I'm sorry to worry you."

"Don't take it as an example."

"Well, let's not take this as an example."

"You promise."

"I promise."

"Hmm."

"But how do you know I'm hurt?"

"You don't care about this, hurry up and rest, I'll stay with you."

"Hmm..."

He lay down again, looking at her beside him.

"Muxi."

"Huh?"

"Does it really matter?"

"What?"

"Come back here."

"I was apprehensive at first, but now that I see that you really don't seem to be fine, I'm relieved." Actually, she knew that this was not what he was asking.

"Tomorrow have a good rest, and the day after tomorrow you should go back."

"Forget it, since I'm here, I'm going to accompany you to finish the matter here, and then we'll go back together."

"Really?"

"Well, otherwise, I wouldn't be at ease if you look like this."

"Thank you."

"Thank you for telling me. If I really want to say thank you, it should be me saying to you. Okay, go to sleep. ”

"Hmm."

Si Yisheng gently held her hand and closed her eyes.

The next morning, Natsuki went out to buy breakfast.

She looked at everything around her and a bitter smile appeared on her face.

The breath of midsummer is still so strong, it is still early in the morning, but the temperature of the earth has slowly risen, and if you take a few steps, you will feel very hot and sweaty.

It's still the same as it was five years ago, it's the same as it was five years ago.

And this hospital, I remember that she was also a frequent visitor here back then.

After buying two breakfasts, she planned to go back.

When she first walked to the entrance of the hospital, her leg seemed to be held by something.

Natsuki lowered her head and found a chubby ball.

"What's wrong with you, kid?" She crouched down, a delicate smile on her face.

"Mommy?" When the little guy saw the girl's face, the fleshy little face was surprised for a while, and then immediately shouted happily, "Mommy, you're finally back!" "The little guy's chubby little hands hugged the girl's neck directly!

"Kid, you recognize the wrong person, I'm not your mommy." Xia Muxi gently patted the little guy's back and said patiently.

"Impossible! You're my mommy! ”

"What's your name, kid? How can you be alone in such a place? ”

"Mommy, have you forgotten, my name is Xiao Nianxi, and also, Xiao Nianxi came with Daddy, Daddy said that he would take Xiao Nianxi to the hospital for vaccination today."

"And what about your daddy? How did he leave you here alone? ”

"He went to park the car and asked me to wait for him here. But I seemed to have seen a black thing on the ground just now, so I accidentally hugged Mommy's leg. ”

"I see." Xia Muxi held the little guy's fleshy little face, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it. "Xiao Nianxi, how old are you?"

"Mommy really doesn't remember anything? Xiao Nianxi is five years old. Mommy, have you really forgotten Xiao Nianxi? ”

"Xiao Nianxi, I'm really not your mommy, I'm sorry." She was deprived of her right to be a mother five years ago.

"But..."

"Nian Xi is good, my sister still has something to do, so I can't accompany you here, do you want to stay here obediently and wait for your father to know?"

"Is Mommy leaving again? Mommy, don't you want to be a little Nianxi again? ”

"Listen to Daddy, I'm leaving." Xia Muxi touched the little guy's round little head, although he was a little distressed, but he couldn't continue to stay.

Because, if you continue to stay, it will only make this child more sad.

Because, she's not his mommy at all.

"Mommy! You don't go! Don't leave Xiao Nianxi again! The little one saw the girl walking farther and farther away, and ran after her sadly. However, he was only a five-year-old child, and how could he catch up with that slender back so easily!

"Wow!" He sat on the ground and cried loudly.

At this moment, a pair of slender arms gently held the weeping child on the ground in his arms.

"Didn't Daddy tell you that as a man, you can't cry easily, have you forgotten?" The man's voice was a little low, but when he saw the poor worm crying in his arms, his face was full of distress.

Xiao Nianxi did not forget. But Daddy, Xiao Nianxi saw Mommy just now! ”

"Daddy told you that your mommy went to a very distant place and will never come back."

"No, it's not! Xiao Nianxi really saw Mommy just now! Daddy, you have to believe Xiao Nianxi, Xiao Nianxi didn't lie to you, woo..."

"Well, don't cry, it must be that Nian Xi misses Mommy too much, so she will mistake others, okay, let's go to get vaccinated first, and then go to grandma's house."

"But Daddy..."

"Alright, don't say any more." There was a hint of anger in his voice.

The little guy saw that the man was angry and immediately stopped crying.

The little head kept rubbing against the man's face.

"Daddy, Xiao Nianxi doesn't cry anymore, so don't be sad, okay?"

Even the midsummer sunshine can't dispel the gloom in people's hearts after all.

Isn't it?
