Chapter 299: I feel heartache.

Wen Ran was sitting by her bed, holding her hand, talking about the fun times they had at school together, when she slowly opened her eyes.

“Xiaoxiao, you’re finally awake.”

Wen Ran, who had been talking and laughing to herself just a second ago, burst into tears of joy, getting up from her chair excitedly, and quickly pressing the call bell.

Bai Xiaoxiao watched Wen Ran both crying and laughing, her lips slowly curving into a smile, then wincing the next moment. Even the tiniest of facial expressions made her head hurt.

“Xiaoxiao, what’s wrong? Are you in pain?”

Wen Ran watched her in discomfort, her heart aching terribly for her.

“No, I’m okay!”

Bai Xiaoxiao slowly opened her mouth, feeling pain all over since the moment she woke up. Her voice was very faint.

Gu Kai and Director Gu quickly arrived with medical staff. Also present were Mo Xiuchen, Mr. Bai, and Mother Bai, but they all stayed outside.

“Ranran, you go outside first, we need to do a check-up on Xiaoxiao.”

Gu Kai gestured to Wen Ran towards Mr. Bai and Mother Bai standing outside the window. Wen Ran nodded, cast a glance at Xiaoxiao in the bed, exited the ward, and was immediately grabbed by Mother Bai. “Ranran, has Xiaoxiao really awoken?”

Tears welled up in Mother Bai’s eyes, showing both joy and worry.

Wen Ran nodded vigorously. She wanted to smile comfortingly at Mother Bai, but before she could, tears rolled down her cheeks. “Auntie, Xiaoxiao woke up, she really woke up. In a few days, she will be completely recovered, just like before.”

Mother Bai held Wen Ran tightly in excitement, “That’s wonderful, Ranran. You don’t know how scared I’ve been these few days, afraid that Xiaoxiao would never wake up. She’s awake now, finally safe.”

Wen Ran’s body stiffened a little, her heart filled with guilt.

She had almost caused Auntie to lose her daughter and almost caused Xiaoxiao to…

“Ranran, Auntie doesn’t blame you. I know you and Xiaoxiao are like sisters, and Xiaoxiao did what she did willingly. Auntie believes that even if things were to happen again, Xiaoxiao would still do the same.”

Mother Bai let go of Wen Ran and gently wiped away her tears. “The other day, Auntie only cared about Xiaoxiao’s condition. Now that Xiaoxiao is awake, I want to tell you, Ranran, don’t blame yourself. Xiaoxiao’s body will take a few months to fully recover. All you need to do is accompany her more often.”

Wen Ran nodded heavily. The guilt only made things harder, the more Mother Bai refused to blame her.

She would feel better if Mother Bai scolded her.

“Auntie, don’t worry. I’ll accompany Xiaoxiao more and help her recover sooner.”

Mo Xiuchen stood on the side, quietly watching this scene, feeling even more admiration for Mother Bai. He was happy for Wen Ran to have a friend like Bai Xiaoxiao.

She didn’t have many friends, strictly speaking, only Bai Xiaoxiao. A friend who, without considering her own safety, pushed her away from danger, was more than enough.

After Gu Kai and his father came out of the ward, Mother Bai and Mr. Bai went into the ward to visit Bai Xiaoxiao. Mo Xiuchen took Wen Ran downstairs to give some time for their family to be together.

“Xiuchen, now that Xiaoxiao is awake, you shouldn’t come to the hospital to work tomorrow. People in your company might have opinions. I can take care of her here.”

After hearing Gu Kai explain Bai Xiaoxiao’s condition, Wen Ran felt much reassured.

To her, as long as Xiaoxiao woke up, she would recover quickly. She had the same experience when her brother was in a coma. What she feared the most, was not waking up.

Mo Xiuchen smiled, unconcernedly saying, “It doesn’t matter, it’s all the same wherever I work.”

Letting Ranran take care of a patient in the hospital alone, he felt both a heartache and worry.

In the few months since their marriage, he had almost lost her several times.

That feeling was like someone was choking him, making him unable to breathe. He couldn’t bear to lose her, and naturally, he had to keep a close eye on her.

Mo Zixuan’s words that day echoed in his ears from time to time. He believed that Xiao Wenqing and Wu Tianyi would not give up so easily. They failed to hit Ranran that night, and the person who got hit was Bai Xiaoxiao. Certainly, there would be a next time.

Xiao Wenqing and Wu Tianyi were hiding in the shadows, not knowing when they would strike, or how they would try to harm Ranran. Mo Xiuchen could not let his guard down.

Wen Ran’s brows furrowed slightly as she looked at the notebook on the coffee table and then at the not-so-spacious sofa. Mo Xiuchen was so tall, and these past few nights, he had been sleeping on the sofa, not wanting to crowd her.

“You really don’t have to. You sleep on the sofa every day, and it makes me feel bad.”

Wen Ran looked at Mo Xiuchen with serious and earnest eyes.

It wasn’t just him who worried about her; she worried about him too.

Mo Xiuchen’s eyes deepened. Wen Ran’s gentle words made him feel a surge of joy. He smiled affectionately and couldn’t help leaning over to kiss her soft lips.

“Ranran, tonight, I won’t sleep on the sofa. I’ll sleep in the bed with you.”

He didn’t deepen the kiss, just lightly kissed her before leaving her lips.

The reason he had been sleeping on the sofa the past few nights wasn’t just that he feared crowding her and disrupting her sleep. He knew all too well his lack of resistance to Ranran, afraid that he would not be able to control himself if he got too close.

She was worried about Bai Xiaoxiao and wouldn’t be in the mood.

He, too, was worried, but damned if he could control his body’s instinctive reactions.

So he had to resign himself to sleeping on the sofa. He would wake up feeling uncomfortable in the mornings, and even be teased by Luo Haofeng—that he should sleep on the sofa more often to experience the misery of it.

“I think you still should…”

“Ranran, can we change the subject? No matter what you say, I won’t agree to it. At worst, I’ll just ask Gu Kai to change to a larger bed. Regardless, however long you stay in the hospital, I will stay the same amount of time.”

“But, I want to share a room with Xiaoxiao.”

This was Wen Ran’s intention.

Mo Xiuchen was stunned for a moment, he had forgotten about this.

Seeing his rare stunned expression, a smile emerged on Wen Ran’s face. For the first time in days, she genuinely smiled. “Xiuchen, you’re not planning to move into Xiaoxiao’s room with me, are you?”

Mo Xiuchen’s eyes flickered, watching her smiling softly, his heart was filled with a warm affection that left him speechless.

“Then it’s settled, go home and sleep later. If you’re not at ease, you can recruit more people to protect me at the hospital. But you must go back, I won’t let you stay in Xiaoxiao’s sickroom.”

Towards the end, Wen Ran deliberately pouted.

Mo Xiuchen nodded. Not to mention Ranran’s unwillingness, he himself would not do it.
