Chapter 12 Endless Warmth 5

  Ling Shuiyue held his mobile phone, flipping it over and over. He hadn't seen her for a whole week. That's what neighbors were like - sleeping on the other side of a wall every night, yet not seeing each other for an entire week.

  Since he saw her holding a big bouquet of peonies that time, he hasn't seen her again, and doesn't know if she's really busy or deliberately avoiding him.

  "Director Ling! The results from the Pharmaceutical Supervision Bureau are out. Just as you expected, our medicine is completely fine." Zhao Qi placed the folder in front of Ling Shuiyue.

  "Post it on our company's official website and major media outlets." Ling Shuiyue was not surprised at all, everything was as expected.

  Zhao Qi looked at Ling Shuiyue in confusion. This was the document he had urged her to finish the most, but now she didn't even glance at it.

  Ling Shuiyue was equally perplexed, with an inexplicable sense of irritation churning inside her body. She paced back and forth in the room, feeling anxious and disordered.

  He glanced at the time, it was exactly 4:00 PM. He gathered up the documents on his desk and walked out of the office.

  He needs to feel the damp and fresh sea breeze, he needs to be sober...

  Ling Shuiyao had just gotten off the bus when he saw someone standing in the sea, and they were getting smaller and lower and farther away...

  He flung off his shoes and ran, stripping off his shirt... He couldn't see anymore... For some reason, Ling Shuiyue's heart felt an inexplicable pain. He plunged into the sea, swimming desperately towards the spot he had seen earlier.

  When Ling Shuiyue put Mu Si Xue on the beach, he knew why his heart ached. This was his woman and he had to save her at the first opportunity, wake her up.

  Muxi Xue looked at the unfamiliar face in the mirror, no matter how she looked at it, it was still awkward: "Am I really your daughter? Why is my face so crooked and you're so beautiful?"

  "Didn't I say it many times? It's all Mom's fault, Mom didn't take good care of you. Let's cover the lower half of our face and compare with your previous photos, okay?"

  "Why?"

  "Compare and you'll know who you are?" Guan Xue said, placing the photo in her hand on the mirror, then handing the cardboard to Musi Xue.

  Muxi Snow hesitated, although she was no longer as afraid of mirrors as she had been in the past few days, but she still didn't like looking into mirrors.

  She nervously took over Guan Xue's cardboard and used it to cover the lower half of her face, slowly moving towards the mirror.

  Tears welled up in her eyes: Yes, the eyes in the photo were exactly the same as hers...

  "Mom!" Musi Xue turned around to look for Guan Xue, but there was no one behind her. The large room was empty except for herself.

  Grey, boundless grey rushed towards her, she wanted to cry out for mom, but was engulfed by the scorching heat that came head-on.

  Calm down, it's okay, let's try again.

  Ling Shuiyue's hands clenched tightly again and placed them on Muxi Xue's chest once more.

  Moxi Xue's mouth was filled with water.

  Ling Shuiyue gently patted Musi Xue's face, and Musi Xue dazedly opened her eyes.

  She woke up! She opened her eyes! Ling Shuiyue hugged Musui Xue tightly and burst into tears of joy.

  ——————&&&——————&&&——————

  Ling Shuiyue lay quietly on the bed, pulling over the quilt, her face looking particularly unwell.

  He reached out to touch Muxi Xue's forehead, so hot! He had to go home and get some medicine, no! Her clothes were all wet, she needed to change first. Ling Shuiyao opened the closet, casually found a nightgown, placed it on Muxi Xue's pillow, and softly said: "Can you do it yourself?"

  Muxi Snow nodded lightly.

  "I'll go home and get some fever medicine, I'll be right back."

  Muxi Snow hadn't even said don't go yet when Ling Shuiyue had already turned around and left.

  Ling Shuiyue brought over the medicine and saw that Musi Xue had already changed into new clothes. She wanted to feed Musi Xue the medicine, but was gently pushed away by Musi Xue: "Don't!"

  "How can I bring down a fever without taking medicine?"

  She was already struggling when she changed her clothes earlier. Now, after barely uttering these two words, she couldn't say a third word.

  Facing Ling Shuiyue's question, she simply closed her eyes, pursed her lips tightly, afraid that the white pill would enter her mouth.

  Seeing her refusal, Ling Shuiyue put the medicine on the bedside table and covered the messy quilt: "Okay, we won't take the medicine. I'll cook some hot porridge, you need a good sleep."

  Upon hearing Ling Shuiyue's words, Musi Xue's tightly pursed lips relaxed, and she soon fell into a deep sleep.

  Ling Shuiyue opened the refrigerator, and except for water, there was nothing else. Looking around the kitchen again, everything was brand new and had never been used before. It seemed that he would have to go back to his own home to cook porridge.

  He walked to the entrance to change his shoes, and only then did he notice that the entrance was displaying a pair of couple's slippers, one of which was on his feet. He frowned: Does she have a boyfriend? Is she with someone?
