Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
By the time Yuan Mo’s bone was finally back in place, Gu Juexi’s shirt was already soaked with his tears. He was still gripping the hem of Ye Yuwei’s blouse, sobbing and gasping for breath.
Master Yao Lao applied medication on Yuan Mo’s ankle who was exhausted from crying.
Master Yao Lao put her equipment back into her bag and sighed. “Every time his parents called home he would say he doesn’t miss them. How could he not yearn for his mom when he is at such a tender age?”
Ye Yuwei wiped away Yuan Mo’s tears and met Gu Juexi’s gaze. “His parents are in the army. They have not been back for over a year.”
Hearing Ye Yuwei’s words, Gu Juexi changed his mind and did not voice out his thoughts. He looked at the boy sleeping in his embrace.
Ye Yuwei looked at Gu Juexi, knowing that the army was an off-limits topic. The people in the army were only in debt to their own family.
Gu Juexi placed the sleeping Yuan Mo on the couch and furrowed his brows as he looked at Ye Xicheng who was standing next to him. “Ye Xicheng.”
Ye Xicheng’s body trembled. He bit his lip and did not respond.
Gu Juexi had yet to say anything but Xixi had already started crying out of fear. Gu Juexi canceled his plans to question Ye Xicheng and hastily carried Xixi out of the room, worried she might wake Yuan Mo who had just fallen asleep.
After Ye Yuwei had cleaned Yuan Mo’s face, she turned around and looked at Ye Xicheng who was frozen to the spot. Ye Yuwei squatted down and held her son’s arm. “Remember to thank Brother Yuan Mo when he is awake later, okay?”
“Mommy, it wasn’t intentional.” Ye Xicheng whispered. He was resisting the urge to cry. His guilty face tugged on Ye Yuwei’s heartstrings.
Ye Yuwei pulled her son into her embrace and stroked his trembling body gently. “I know you didn’t do it on purpose. Brother Yuan Mo helped you because he regarded you as a good friend. Therefore, you shouldn’t be prejudiced towards him in the future and should take him as a good friend too. Okay?”
Ye Xicheng’s little hands grabbed onto Ye Yuwei’s back and he buried his head in Ye Yuwei’s shoulder, sobbing profusely.
Yuan Mo’s cries had scared him earlier. It must have hurt a lot for him to wail in that way.
Ye Yuwei carried her son and gently patted her son’s back. She laid a kiss on her son’s head and softly coaxed him.
The only good that came out of this incident was that Ye Xicheng would be less prejudiced against Yuan Mo.
When Grandfather Yuan carried Yuan Mo home, Ye Yuwei asked if they should contact Yuan Mo’s mother. Ye Yuwei could see that Yuan Mo missed his mother dearly.
“There’s no need. His parents are busy. Yuan Mo is older, so he needs to protect the younger ones. You don’t have to blame yourself,” Grandfather Yuan replied as he carried Yuan Mo home.
Ye Yuwei felt sorry for Yuan Mo upon hearing Grandfather Yuan’s words.
She wouldn’t let Gu Juexi be prejudiced against him in the future.
After sending them off, Ye Yuwei went back into the room and discovered Ye Xicheng was still standing in the same spot and Xixi had been coaxed to sleep by Gu Juexi.
Ye Yuwei walked towards Ye Xicheng. “Brother Yuan Mo is alright now, you don’t have to stand anymore.”
“Let him stand.” Gu Juexi was browsing the data on his laptop.
Ye Xicheng bit his lips and did not move from his spot.
