Rainy felt her pocket and took out a piece of chocolate.
“Mommy, eat this. I saved it for you,” Rainy said as she started to peel the wrapper away with the intention of feeding the chocolate to Xia Ruoxin. However, she saw that it had melted when she peeled the wrapper. It had been in her pocket for too long.
Rainy stared at the melted chocolate in her hand. Tears began to fall.
“I’m sorry, Mommy. It’s melted.” She showed her mother the contents. She had wanted her mother to have it, but it had melted. What to do when chocolate had melted?
Xia Ruoxin took the melted chocolate away from her daughter’s hand. Although she couldn’t make out the design, it was still chocolate nonetheless.
She took the chocolate and shoved it into her mouth. Mmm. She closed her eyes in content. “The chocolate given by my baby is truly delicious. Thank you so much.”
A sweet, buttery taste lingered in Xia Ruoxin’s mouth. While her taste buds enjoyed the smoothness of the chocolate, she was also basking in the touching affection from her daughter.
She carried Rainy and propped her chin on top of her small head. “Mmm, I have eaten your chocolate. I will make more delicious food for you tomorrow. How does that sound?”
“Thank you, Mommy.” Rainy’s eyes lit up. She hugged her mother’s neck coyly and nuzzled against her face.
It as almost ten o’clock when Rainy was asleep. They were alone at home since Gao Yi had to work. Being a doctor was indeed a noble profession. Xia Ruoxin had not understood that in the past. However, she learned the hardships and helplessness of being a doctor after she knew Gao Yi. There was nothing much she could do for him except cook more delicious meals every day and bring them to him. She could prevent him from going hungry.
After some thought, she finally went into the kitchen and took out some noodles from the fridge. She was going to stir-fry the noodles and bring it to Gao Yi so that he could have something to eat when he was on break from his shift.
When it was ready, she packed it into a lunch box, closed the door, and left. She wasn’t very worried about Rainy. Her daughter could take care of herself once she was awake. Although she was only three years old, Rainy was very sensitive. Otherwise, as a mother, Xia Ruoxin wouldn’t have dared to leave her.
The light from the street lamps shone in the night, extending to a distance far away. From time to time, one or two cars would pass by Xia Ruoxin. She tightened her jacket and held the lunch box tighter against her body.
A car stopped before her. She stopped as she felt her heart stirred with a wave of familiarity.
She seemed to know the owner of the vehicle.
This feeling was something indescribable; something that she didn’t want to feel.
The car door opened. A man in black emerged from within and blended in the dark. Half of his face showed the obvious and inexplicable regret under the shadowy street lights.
“Where are you going?”
The man’s voice sounded cold. However, one could easily hear the tension and emotions in it. It was laughable. A man like Chu Lui could actually be anxious. No one would believe it even if he said it. The man’s review was usually cold-blooded, heartless, or unscrupulous.
Xia Ruoxin stood under the yellow street light which stretched her silhouette until it was long and thin. The wind seemed to come with some autumn frosts as it blew at her short hair.
“I’ll send you there,” the man added. His dilemma was as clear as day and night. It was all him.
“No, thanks.” Xia Ruoxin held the lunch box tightly, turned, and walked in the direction to the hospital. In her wake, she left the cold winter and another man.
Chu Lui started the car and followed behind her until she arrived at the hospital. He got off his car, took a cigarette, and started smoking. Obviously, he knew who she was looking for and the reason for her coming here. He knew and witnessed. However, as uncomfortable as it was for him, he stayed no matter how painful it was.
“Haha…” He laughed bitterly. “Xia Ruoxin, I am going through whatever you have gone through in the past.”
“Ruoxin, what are you doing here?” Gao Yi had just returned to his office when he saw Xia Ruoxin who shouldn’t be here. It was already so late. He looked at the time on his watch. It was almost eleven o’clock. Was Rainy asleep?
“I came out to buy something and, at the same time, bring you some food.” She set the lunch box on the table. “I cooked some noodles. You can eat it when you’re hungry.”
“It must be tough on you.” Gao Yi walked over to her side. He placed his hands on each of her shoulders. “It’s late. Don’t do it again next time. It’s too dangerous outside.”
Xia Ruoxin rested her head on his shoulder. She didn’t know why, but her feelings were complicated today. She had not stayed long at the hospital because Gao Yi was on duty. He had to go to the wards to check on his patients from time to time. Had she stayed, she would be giving him more trouble.
Neither did she let Gao Yi send her. Just then, a patient seemed to have some problem. Gao Yi left in a hurry. Xia Ruoxin left the hospital but realized that the low-key sedan was still parked there.
Xia Ruoxin paused in her steps as she made her way back home while the sedan followed behind her at a distance.
It was here. Xia Ruoxin raised her head when she walked past a convenience store that was open twenty-four hours. When she emerged, she had bought a few bars of chocolate.
The sedan continued to follow from behind. She wasn’t walking fast. At eleven o’clock in the evening, there were still quite a lot of passers-by who would walk past her. After some time, she stopped walking and turned her head around. That sedan was no longer there.
So, he left.
That’s great.
She opened the door to her house which was filled with a dim light.
She blew hot air into her hands. The heat coming from the house warmed her body immediately.
She opened the bedroom door gently and saw that the little imp was still sound asleep. However, she had kicked the blanket away; and her toes were exposed. Xia Ruoxin walked over and tucked the blanket over her daughter gently.
Sleep well. She, too, lay down. Finally, she could sleep in peace. Unknown to her, there was a black car outside. A man was chain-smoking in the icy wind which was blowing at his clothes. However, he could feel nothing as he leaned his back against the car.
