Rebirth: Starting from Saving the Desperate Girl

Chapter 45: Parting is imminent
The surroundings are noisy and bustling.

My head was still dizzy and my eyelids felt heavy as if they were fighting a battle.

Faintly, it seemed like someone was talking nearby.

"It's nothing serious. I'm just tired and maybe a little frightened..."

"My arm is scratched and needs to be bandaged..."

"What happened to that little girl?"

"I can't pull it apart. She's holding me so tightly."

"...Okay, then don't disturb them for now and let the two children have a good sleep."

……

……

Finally, I don’t know how long it took.

Chen An slowly woke up from his deep sleep, and his memory gradually recovered.

As far as I can remember, after he jumped down the stairs holding Xiao Xi in his arms, he was carried into the ambulance by the adults. He was already dizzy, and as soon as he lay down on the stretcher, he fell asleep directly.

After arriving at the hospital, he should have woken up again. At that time, Chen Xingguo and Aunt Yuzi also came back. The man was still emotionally stable, but Aunt Yuzi felt very guilty. She pulled Chen An to apologize and said a lot of things...

But who can actually predict such an accident in advance?
Even if Chen An were to live his life again, he would not be able to remember anything about this.

No.

It’s not that I can’t remember it, but it simply didn’t exist in the previous life.

Even though Chen An was only eight years old at the time, it is impossible that he had no memory of this major incident that burned down almost an entire floor.

Of course, it is not ruled out that it was the butterfly effect that caused a household appliance to catch fire, but compared to this, Chen An thought of his quick glance this morning and suspected that someone had deliberately set the fire!
After forcing himself to stay awake and telling Uncle Hat his guess, Chen An fell into a deep sleep again.

When he woke up again, the noise in his ears had disappeared, leaving only silence.

That's it now.

It’s a bit hot…

Chen An hadn't opened his eyes yet, but he just felt something sticky, a little fragrant, and a little soft, just like holding a big steamed bun.

He subconsciously reached out and pinched it. It was bouncy and soft, but his hands were a little sweaty.

and many more.

Do steamed buns sweat?
Chen An suddenly opened his eyes, and then he realized that what he was holding in his hand was not a bun... it was a girl's face!

The girl buried her head in his chest, her two little hands tightly grasping his collar, and her whole body curled up into a ball.

Because she was covered with a thick winter quilt, she had some sweat under her bangs and her fair face was slightly red. She didn't know if it was because of Chen An's touch or the heat.

Guilt, guilt...

Chen An muttered twice silently.

He looked at the girl's peaceful sleeping face and her unconsciously slightly opened pink lips, and a smile slowly appeared in his eyes.

He was not married in his previous life, so naturally he had no children.

So when the girl showed that she was so dependent on him, he would inevitably feel an indescribable sense of accomplishment in his heart.

Turning my head and looking around, a room with a uniform white tone came into view.

Outside a glass window, the outside scenery is as dark as ink, with only a crescent moon hanging in the sky.

The ward was quiet, and there was no sign of my father or Aunt Yuzi.

Chen An thought about it, and it seemed that when he woke up for the first time, they had specifically reminded him that they were in the next room and that he should remember to look for them when he woke up.

He also saw some snacks such as bread and two bottles of water placed at the head of the bed.

I haven't eaten for a day and I'm a little hungry.

Chen An tried to reach out to take it, but when he turned sideways, he probably accidentally woke the girl up, and she let out a moan from her arms.

When he lowered his head again, he met those watery eyes.

His eyes were no longer red, but looked a little confused, blinking repeatedly, which was unexpectedly cute.

"Are you awake? Do you want to sleep a little longer? Or eat something before going to sleep."

Chen An smiled and shook the bread in his hand.

Seeing the girl nod slowly, he pulled out his other hand that was pressed underneath, tore open the package, and then broke off a little with his fingers and fed it to the girl's mouth.

She opened her lips and swallowed it obediently, the tip of her tongue accidentally touching her fingers, making them slightly moist, as if she was feeding a kitten.

But I still remember that when we first met, this 'kitten' was far from being so well-behaved...

Thinking of this, Chen An tore off another piece, but this time the girl shook her head.

"That's all you're going to eat?"

Chen An was stunned, and then he saw Yu Shengxi reach out and take the bread from his hand, then follow his example, breaking off a piece and feeding it to his mouth.

"You eat it."

The girl looked up at him and whispered.

For some reason, Chen An felt a sense of déjà vu at this scene.

He didn't act pretentiously and just opened his mouth to eat.

So the following time became a scene where Yuzuru Yui broke the bread bit by bit and fed it to him.

In fact, Chen An really wanted to say, your small bites are not satisfying, you might as well just let me eat the whole thing.

But every time he saw the girl's upturned mouth and her eyes that showed happiness no matter how he looked at them, he was unable to say anything.

The girl seemed to be very interested in such things and did not mind the trouble. She always wanted to watch him swallow it with her own eyes before she was willing to lower her head and continue to break off another piece.

She took a bite of the whole piece of bread, then fed Chen An a bite, and soon the two of them finished it all.

Chen An turned sideways again and started to pack new things. This time it was instant noodles, which were fragrant and crispy and had always been his favorite snack when he was a child.

Of course, I like it when I grow up.

He tore it open casually, thinking of breaking off a little bit, but out of the corner of his eye he saw the girl looking at him eagerly, not saying a word, just silently grabbing his collar.

There was no choice but to hand her the whole bag of instant noodles.

Sure enough, classmate Yuzuru Shio immediately stopped staring at him, and continued to break the instant noodles carefully and seriously, just like she had just fed him the bread, and then fed it to his mouth.

Occasionally, some scraps would fall down, and she would stick out her little tongue to lick them clean, making sure not to waste any.

Soon, after eating a bag of instant noodles, Chen An’s empty stomach felt a little comforted.

He felt a little thirsty and reached for a bottle of mineral water.

Seeing this, the girl began to look at him eagerly again.

Chen An couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"You can't feed me when I drink water!"

Hearing this, the girl lowered her head dejectedly.

"Okay, get off me quickly. I'll take you to find Aunt Yuzi."

Chen An found it a little funny and rubbed her long snow-white hair.

In fact, it's not long, but compared to girls of this age, her hair is already very long, at least much longer than those two sisters.

Thinking of this, Chen An was suddenly stunned.

……

……

Ten p.m.

That big villa by the river.

It was clearly late at night, but at this moment, the light in front of the courtyard was unusually bright as day.

One after another, a convoy of cars came to see us off, lighting the road ahead with their headlights.

From time to time, tall figures in black suits came out of the villa carrying luggage and put it in the trunk.

In the living room on the first floor, a tall and elegant woman frowned slightly and shouted to the second floor, "Xiao Qiu, are you still not well?"

On the other side, the girl pursed her lips and did not answer, but continued to dial the landline.

"Beep, beep, beep..."

But the only response she got was a busy tone.
