Chapter 40: The Innocent Words of a Child

  On Sunday, the weather forecast said it would be overcast, but when Zhao Yang woke up, he found that outside was still sunny and bright.

  Gently lift the morning dawn's head, took out her arms, and pulled out the hem of her clothes from her small hands. As soon as she left the bedroom, she saw that the bathroom door was open, and Morning Plum was inside, facing the mirror and splashing toner on her face.

  Seeing Zhao Yang come out, Chen Mei hastily tidied up her hair and said: "Just a moment, I'll be right there!"

  The sorrow and despair that had been on her face for three months seemed to have been washed away by that good cry, and the anguish of last night was gone.

  Yesterday evening, when Chen Mei asked Zhao Yang if it was him who made the money, Zhao Yang suddenly thought that he shouldn't hide anything about Dong Hai from her. If there's one person with whom he could share his secrets, it would have to be Chen Mei.

  Then Zhao Yang began to tell her everything about the medical technique he had accidentally learned from an ancient book that allowed him to see people's souls.

  When Zhao Yang finished speaking, Chen Mei said lightly: "I knew Haige couldn't bear to part with Xiaoxi..."

  The words were left unspoken, but tears fell like rain!

  In Chen Mei's words, Zhao Yang learned many things he didn't know before, including about Dong Hai calling him into the company when Qian Jin was down on his luck and his wife was quarreling with him for a divorce, and helping him run errands to demolish his house, but more about Dong Hai's love for Chen Xi.

  Dong Hai is an orphan, so when Chen Xi came into this world, Dong Hai loved her to the point of madness! Not to mention that he would worry about every little discomfort Chen Xi had, and rejoice at every small progress she made. Once, he even dreamed that Chen Xi was taken away by someone, and he woke up from the dream in tears! The next day, whenever he mentioned this dream, he would cry!

  ……

  How difficult is it for an orphan to grow up healthy? How hard is it to establish a company worth tens of millions without any help? And how cruel is it to have a family and children who love him with all their heart, but leave him forever?

  Chen Mei's tears wet Zhao Yang's shoulder, and also weighed his heart down. He said softly: "Don't be sad, I'm here for everything! I'm here for everything!"

  Maybe she was tired of crying, or maybe she understood the meaning of Zhao Yang's words, Chen Mei's crying gradually subsided.

  The last thing Meixi remembered was being carried into her room by Zhao Yang as she fell asleep.

  As he gazed at Chen Mei's sleeping face, the corners of her eyes and forehead finally relaxed, and the sorrow that had shrouded her also dissipated. This made Zhao Yang let out a sigh of relief. He poured himself a glass of water, placed it on his head, took a few more deep looks before quietly closing the door and returning to Chen Xi's bedroom.

  Chen Mei was making breakfast, while Zhao Yang picked up today's Huang Hai Morning Post and browsed through it. In the Beer Festival special edition, an article caught his eye: "Drinking Excessively, Tourists Go Wild!"

  Zhao Yang looked at it for a while and then flipped through it backwards.

  Chen Mei had just finished making porridge when Chen Xi woke up. However, the child was still a bit dazed after waking up, until Chen Mei carried her to the bathroom and splashed water on her face. Chen Xi then yawned and came back to her senses, before giggling and shaking her head back and forth.

  "Be honest now, or I'll have Uncle Zhao Yang take you away!"

  "Mom, what is ***?"

  Morning plum is delayed, how can morning twilight ask this question?

  She and Dong Hai are very particular about Chen Xi's education. Only in the past month has she let Chen Xi attend a nursery school, previously she had been taking care of her at home herself. For children as young as Chen Xi, sleep is crucial, every day besides watching some children's drawings and TV there are time limits, moreover any shows with human actors are not allowed! Where did she hear this term?

  Chen Mei had a vague impression, but couldn't quite remember. Looking into Chen Xiu's flawless eyes, she could only say: "You'll understand when you grow up!"

  Morning twilight let out an "oh" and yawned again.

  Chen Mei let out a breath and took out a towel to gently wipe away the water droplets on Chen Xi's small face.

  "Mom, is Uncle Zhao Yang your little lover?"

  Chen Mei was startled and almost covered Chen Xiu's face with the towel! She turned her head to look at the door that wasn't closed tightly, wondering if Zhao Yang outside had heard anything. Turning back, she said in a low voice: "Xiao Xiu is well-behaved, good kids won't ask this kind of question, do you know?"

  Kids love asking why!

  "Why?"

  After washing her face, Chen Xi's spirit was fully restored! Looking at her with a determined look, Chen Mei got a headache. She first asked Zhao Yang to go get Chen Xi's skirt, and then she had an idea, saying: "Because your Uncle Zhao Yang likes you the most!"

  This answer made Chen Xi very happy, and she also "returned a peach for a plum" by saying: "Uncle Zhao Yang likes Mom the most too!"

  Zhao Yang picked out a dress printed with dragonflies and lotus leaves, Chen Mei took it over to change into Chen Xuan, suddenly remembering that the word was yesterday from Qian Jin's mouth.

  Before, thinking of Qian Jin's betrayal and ingratitude made Chen Mei resentful and indignant, but now she is indifferent, or rather, ignoring it.

  Resentment and grievance are not only because of being hurt, but also because one can't do anything about the other party. Now she is calm and waiting for him to pay the price for everything he has done!

  Breakfast was still very warm, the two adults didn't say much, only Chen Xi chattered non-stop. She now likes to let Zhao Yang feed her. Zhao Yang is naturally very happy to do this, but Chen Mei said that it can't lead to dependence on Chen Xi's dependence, and asked Zhao Yang to feed half and Chen Xi to eat half.

  After dinner, Zhao Yang received a call from Meng Xuehui, saying that his mother had arrived home and asked when they could go there. He would send a car to pick them up.

  Hanging up the phone, Zhao Yang said: "Sister-in-law, Xiao Meng invited us to his home for a visit, let's go together!"

  Chen Mei shook her head and pointed at Chen Xiu: "I'll stay with Xiaoxiu at home!"

  Chen Xi didn't want to anymore, got down from the chair and pulled at Chen Mei's hem saying: "Mommy, I also want to go!"

  Chen Mei smiled bitterly in her heart, it was precisely because of Chen Xiu that they couldn't go!

  Chen Xi was like a silkworm baby, twisting and turning, and accidentally pulled off one of Chen Mei's buttons on her chest!

  Although she was wearing a bra, Chen Mei's face also turned red with shame, and she quickly covered herself with her hands, looking down at Chen Xue and saying: "Let go quickly... if you don't let go, Mom will get angry!"

  Zhao Yang didn't expect to encounter such a situation, although it was quickly covered up, but the snow-white flash in front of his eyes almost blinded him! He hastily turned his head to look at Chen Xiu who was still competing with Chen Mei and said: "Xiao Xiu, come here to Uncle! Uncle will take you!"

  "Impossible! Dong Hai he..."

  Chen Xue had already happily pounced on Zhao Yang's front, hugging his arm and saying: "Uncle is the best!"

  Chen Mei clutched her top, and her originally full chest seemed even more swollen. Zhao Yang didn't know where to put his eyes, so he looked at the large photo of Chen Xi on the wall. "Maybe my idea is wrong too! After all, Chen Xi has also gone out in these three months, right? Let's try it, if it doesn't work, we won't go either!"

  Meng Xuehui drove up to the building and saw Zhao Yang carrying Chen Xi walking out of the entrance, while Chen Mei stood inside.

  Zhao Yang looked back every step of the way.

  At around 10 o'clock in the morning, except for a little shade at the entrance of the building, all other places were already filled with sunlight.

  From the shadows to under the sun, Zhao Yang took this step backwards.

  Zhao Yang cautiously retreated to the bottom of the sun, saw Dong Hai's soul stopped in the shadow, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. He retreated another seven or eight meters, and Dong Hai's soul still stood there motionless, only then did Zhao Yang put his mind at ease, nodding towards Chen Mei.

  Meng Xuehui walked up to Zhao Yang's side, first greeting Chen Mei, then asking strangely: "Big brother, what are you doing?"

  Zhao Yang looked back again and said, "Nothing! When did Auntie arrive?"

  Meng Xuehui opened the car door while saying, "We just arrived not long ago." Seeing Chen Mei about to get the car, he hastily said, "Sister-in-law, let me drive. I'll sit in the passenger seat and you three can sit in the back!"

  Chen Mei didn't say anything and drove the car out of the garage.

  They bought a house relatively early when the garage was given away for free. Now, with more Huang Hai cars around, garages are generally more expensive than houses.

  Meng Xuehui led the way in front and drove all the way to Linhai Home by the sea.

  Zhao Yang took a look at the sign and it was still a work of the Haoran Group.

  As soon as he entered the corridor, Zhao Yang suddenly felt a faint gust of yin wind beside him. Using Jinghu technique to look over, he surprisingly discovered that Dong Hai's wisp of soul had appeared again beside Chen Xi!

  How did he come?

  Is there a legendary underworld road or a feeling of the location of dawn, which appears at the right time in the environment?

  Zhao Yang only paused for a moment before catching up, but this question was still difficult to resolve. Perhaps the answer would be found in "The Book of Life and Death".

  After introducing each other, Chen Mei and her mother stayed with Su Qun to chat, while Meng Xuehui took Zhao Yang to the study.

  As soon as Zhao Yang entered the study, he said: "Don't let Auntie run back and forth, I think she's not in good health lately, mainly because she's tired!"

  As soon as he said this, Meng Xuehui's eyes immediately turned red, and he said regretfully: "I didn't let her come either, but what can I do? She says she doesn't trust me! Alas, it's all my fault!"

  Zhao Yang thought for a moment and said: "I'll prescribe a nourishing recipe for Auntie, but the key is to not let her overexert herself!"

  Meng Xuehui was overjoyed and carefully took the paper from Fangzi, putting it away safely.

  In fact, Zhao Yang's dietary therapy may not be unique in society, but the biggest difference lies in his targeted treatment!

  Here, the symptomatic treatment is that he can intuitively and accurately see the operation of others' qi and blood, which should be supplemented by the kidney, which should be supplemented by the liver, without any deviation!

  Another one, Zhao Yang inherited from Xīao Yǎo Zǐ's rich knowledge of herbs, making every prescription he wrote use the most suitable medicine!

  It wasn't until after six in the afternoon that Zhao Yang and his family returned home.

  After washing her hands, Chen Mei cut apples for Chen Xi and Zhao Yang while saying: "Zhao Yang, I have something to tell you! Tomorrow your sister-in-law is going to work, can you stay at home with Xiao Xi?"

  Zhaoyang slowly drank the water, originally wanting to ask her: "You go to work, what about Xiaoxi?" Suddenly it dawned on him that perhaps Chenmei was using this method to forget the pain and get herself back together! And if she went to work, then Xiaoxi would have to go to kindergarten too!

  But Zhao Yang also plans to go home first!

  One reason is that he came here to see Dr. Chenxi and can't stay at someone's home forever!

  What's more important is that he needs to go back and study the Book of Life and Death, he wants to find a way to merge Dong Hai's two souls. Yesterday in Beer City, Dong Hai's two souls met, but one only had eyes for Chen Xi, while the other only looked at Qian Jin, without any sign of emotional response!

  Moreover, Dong Hai's two strands of soul are both existing due to their attachment. Chen Xi's is easy to explain and might continue to exist forever, but what about the one following Qian Jin? If Qian Jin were to die, wouldn't that strand of soul immediately dissipate?

  Chen Mei saw Zhao Yang didn't speak and raised her head to ask: "Do you have something on your mind?"

  Zhao Yang nodded and said: "I want to go home for a while!"

  Chen Mei's hand holding the knife remained steady as she peeled the apple, saying softly: "You've been out for several days, and your family should be worried about you!"

  She handed the peeled apple to Chen Xi, but Chen Xi didn't even look at it and instead stared at Zhao Yang in a low voice: "Uncle Zhao Yang, are you leaving?"

  As she spoke, her eyes became moist.

  Chen Mei's eyes stung as she watched. It turned out that Dong Hai was especially fond of Chen Xi, so she was also especially clingy to Dong Hai. Before Dong Hai got into trouble and before Zhao Yang arrived, Chen Xi would ask every day "When is Daddy coming back!" Every day she would shout for her father...

  Zhao Yang saw the look in Chen Xiu's eyes and panicked, he quickly picked up Chen Xiu and put him on his lap, saying: "Uncle is going home for something, and also wants to take Chen Xiu to uncle's house to play for a few days!"

  "Great, great!" Chen Xi exclaimed excitedly. He then turned his head and looked at Chen Mei, saying: "Is Mom going too?"

  Hand it over to the nursery, where is better than following Zhao Yang? Moreover, Zhao Yang is not here, what if she is affected by Dong Hai's lingering soul again and gets sick again?

  Thinking of this, Chen Mei gritted her teeth and said: "You go play with your Uncle Zhao Yang for a few days first, after a while your uncle will bring you back!"

  PS: I owe everyone four chapters.....
