Then I realized deeply—I believe him.

Yu-An was being dragged into her memories when she suddenly heard a cute little girl calling her name.

"Grandma Youan, I'm full. The cookies were delicious. Thank you for your hospitality."

He also put his hands together in gratitude.

"I won't be coming next week."

"…………?!for…………"

Before Youan could finish his sentence, he saw the girl clutch her chest and collapse in front of him, panting and her brows furrowed in pain.

Bai Weiran, who was waiting outside, rushed into the reception room upon hearing the exclamation. He saw Mengmeng lying on the ground, pale and haggard, curled up like a shrimp, panting as if she could die at any moment.

He quickly picked her up, and the little girl was crying.

"Brother Su Cheng, when I talk about him, when I think of him, it hurts so much... Bai Weiran... I feel so bad..."

Bai Weiran: It's Su Cheng again, you bastard scumbag, I'm going to punish you!

You'an: ...?! Who is Su Cheng? Did we just talk about him?

Bai Weiran rushed Mengmeng to the hospital.

Youan stood there for a long time before remembering to go back to the reception room to tidy up.

She was initially worried, but upon seeing the empty plate, she suddenly had a somewhat amusing realization.

Even before faking illness, she made sure to finish all the cookies; it seems she really liked them.

Let's make some for the little girl next time!

Although I don't know when she will come again.

Xx

There will be another update this afternoon.

Chapter 52 A Gentle Kiss (3K views, please vote)

Bai Weiran asked for a quote and gasped at the front desk's estimated figure.

Mengmeng has no identity; she is an unregistered resident with no ID card or medical insurance. Bai Weiran cannot send her to a regular public hospital, so he sends her to the nearest private hospital.

This type of Sino-foreign joint venture private hospital has lax identity verification, mainly looking at money. Bai Weiran said that he was in an emergency and did not have any identification on him at the moment, so the receptionist deducted a considerable amount of deposit from him, saying that it would be refunded when he brought his patient identification to make up for it.

Mengmeng is an unregistered resident; her deposit is destined to be lost.

It can only be said that poverty limited his imagination. He knew that seeing a doctor at this kind of hospital was expensive, but he didn't expect it to be this expensive. As Bai Weiran thought about it, his brows furrowed involuntarily. The receptionist, observing his expression, revealed a hint of suspicion in her eyes—could it be that he couldn't afford it and was planning to skip out on his bill and run away later?

She made a quick decision and gave Bai Weiran a payment slip, asking him to settle the bill first.

The yandere girl was faking her illness, and the hospital examination revealed nothing serious.

Although the examining doctor couldn't find anything abnormal, out of caution, he only told Bai Weiran that Mengmeng had a congenitally weak heart, like a time bomb inside her body, and that she could occasionally have an outburst due to excessive emotional fluctuations. He said that she seemed fine for now, but he couldn't say for sure what would happen next and suggested that she stay in the hospital for two or three days for observation.

Doctors are cautious and afraid of medical disputes, so they never make definitive statements.

Bai Weiran was also a cautious person; even if he was stingy, he couldn't skimp on money for saving a life, so he decided to have Mengmeng hospitalized for observation for two days.

He touched his nose, clutched the quote, and went to pay the bill.

He was mentally prepared from the day Mengmeng came into the world.

If Mengmeng develops a disease, she will definitely have to be sent to a private hospital, which is difficult to treat. It's a disease of the wealthy, so she needs to be gently cared for. If she ends up in or out of the hospital, it's like throwing money into a fire.

If she were to return to her original world, aside from anything else, she would have an identity, medical insurance, and family, so seeking medical treatment wouldn't be so difficult.

He paid the fees and returned to his ward. The wards in the private hospital were also high-class, mostly single rooms, or at most two people per room. Although Mengmeng's room was a two-person room, she was the only patient. When she saw Bai Weiran return, she propped herself up and sat up, with an IV drip still attached to her hand.

"Bai Weiran, I'm sorry." She obediently lowered her head, and her first words were an apology.

Seeing her face, which was even paler than usual, Bai Weiran's heart softened instantly.

“You did nothing wrong, why are you apologizing?” He gently patted her head, pulled up a chair and sat down on the edge of her bed, looking around.

"Look how lucky you are, living in a double room all by yourself. It's more spacious than a single room. You've struck gold, getting the service of two people for the price of one." He joked with Mengmeng in a relaxed manner.

"I've never been hospitalized before, and tonight I can finally try it out. I'll sleep on that bed and experience it."

The girl's eyes widened in delight.

"...Are you staying here tonight?"

"Okay, I'll stay here. Call me anytime if you need anything."

Mengmeng laughed, lay back on the bed, but wouldn't sleep, muttering endlessly about her past experiences in the hospital.

Mengmeng had been hospitalized before due to heart problems, and for quite some time. She spent her elementary and middle school graduation ceremonies in the hospital, feeling lonely and dejected. She didn't even get to take graduation photos. When everyone else gathered for the photos, she was the only one photoshopped into a small circle on the side, looking lonely and isolated.

“When my parents aren’t around, my brother Su Cheng comes to keep me company,” she said, gazing at the ceiling, her long, snow-white hair spread out on the pillowcase, the same color as the pillowcase.

Bai Weiran's expression remained unchanged, but inwardly he cursed his bad luck.

Mengmeng got sick because of him! I'm putting the medical bills on his tab today!

“Brother Su Cheng is always very gentle. He would tell me not to be afraid, that I can do it, that he would always be by my side, and that it was okay for me to sleep because I would definitely see him as soon as I opened my eyes—but every time I opened my eyes, I couldn’t see him.” Mengmeng’s expression darkened.

"Brother Su Cheng was busy chatting with the nurses and comforting the girl in the next bed... I even heard them kissing."

Bai Weiran: …………

Those who know, know. How do you kiss to make a sound?

"It's all in the past, why think about it?" Bai Weiran gently smoothed her white hair scattered on the pillow.

“There is no past!” She looked at him with red eyes, which were somewhat moist.

"Because Bai Weiran is going to send me back."

"When I go back, it will be like going back to the past. I will still see my parents and Brother Su Cheng. If I get sick then, it won't be Bai Weiran here anymore, it will be Brother Su Cheng here."

The choked sobs and accusations in his voice left Bai Weiran speechless for a moment, and it took him a long time to finally sigh.

“I’m not just sending you back and then abandoning you—I will definitely help you find a more suitable living environment.”

"……Really?"

"Yes."

"Will you respect my opinion?"

"Of course, you can even tell me if you have any relatives you'd like to visit, or any aunts or uncles you think would be a good fit. I'll help you make the decision."

Will my parents agree?

Bai Weiran didn't answer but laughed instead.

Anyway, he's a superman in other worlds.

Su Cheng and his mentally unstable parents—Bai Weiran didn't believe that any of them could withstand such unimaginable and terrifying threats as being able to smash through seven or eight walls with a wave of their hand, snap a building in half with a flick of their finger, or lift a person to a height greater than fifty stories.

We're not going to reason with you anymore.

You can have custody of Mengmeng now!

"Of course, don't worry," Bai Weiran replied after laughing.

"I will give them a reason they can't refuse."

"Hehe, okay, then I want one too. I want to give him a reason he can't refuse!"

Seeing her smile, innocent and carefree as she repeated her studies, Bai Weiran was also very happy.

He spent the day with Mengmeng at the hospital, eating the hospital's meals, which were quite bland, but the meals provided by the private hospital were still quite good. There was even a small piece of crab roe tofu for dinner. Bai Weiran put his portion of tofu into Mengmeng's bowl, but after looking at it, she actually put it back.

"No, thank you," she said, making her intentions clear.

"I want to eat with Bai Weiran, it will taste better that way. I don't want to eat two pieces by myself."

This prompted Bai Weiran to rub her head.

When Mengmeng is being mischievous, she's adorable; when she's not being mischievous, she's incredibly sweet.

He went back halfway to pack his toiletries and clothes, and hurriedly went home.

Xia Yanle wasn't home; she'd gone to the library again.

Bai Weiran left her a note and gave her the credit card he usually used to pay for Mengmeng.

The note explained the current situation and told her to use the card to pay for her meal.

He and Xia Yanle basically staggered their departures, one after the other; he had just left when Xia Yanle returned.

She rested one hand on the table, her hair loose, and looked at the note, a smile involuntarily appearing on her lips.

Yesterday, Friday, the little girl came to question her with a stern face.

"Why are you getting in my way, Sister Xia?"

Clearly, he heard her warning to Bai Weiran and came to confront her.

If Bai Weiran takes this to heart, she will definitely find an opportunity to consult a psychologist or observe carefully. Even if the other party has integrity and is willing to be Mengmeng's accomplice, Bai Weiran herself is not to be trifled with. She has excellent observation skills, and after a while, she may expose her true colors.

"Don't you think this is more interesting, Mengmeng?" she asked with a smile.

The young girl didn't buy it and only coldly retorted.

Do you also like Bai Weiran?

This made Xia Yanle think for a few seconds.

"Perhaps," she nodded in agreement.

But as the saying goes, love arises without knowing its origin, and it has not yet become a deep and lasting affection.

Xia Yanle extended her right index finger and thumb, bringing them within a distance of only the height of a grain of rice.

"But that's all."

"So don't worry, I don't plan to stay. I want to go back to my world. I'm not a returning traveler, I'm just a passerby. I don't want to stay in this world. Bai Weiran means something different to me than you do. I'm not willing to do anything for him to struggle to survive in a completely different world with different culture and customs."

"You're very brave, Mengmeng," Xia Yanle praised.
