Chapter 136 Tell your brother one more time
The drizzle kept falling, and through the huge glass window one could clearly see the raindrops falling one by one like pearls that had broken off the string.
In the quiet bedroom, the pink decoration is as warm as a dream. On a pink bed, several cute Barbie dolls are placed in an orderly manner.
On the walls of the bedroom, hanging around the room are paintings that Jiang Chengyu drew for Alice.
Each painting is full of love and warmth, as if showing people a beautiful world.
In the earlier painting of Alice sitting on the balcony, the background is a beautiful garden with colorful flowers blooming and the breeze bringing bursts of floral fragrance.
There is also a family photo taken in the amusement park. Everyone in the photo is smiling and full of happiness.
And the scene of holding hands with Mickey, with the tall and magnificent Ferris wheel in the background, seems to be telling a story of happy time.
In this world full of love, Jiang Chengyu (Kate) is an omnipotent existence in Alice's mind and the person she admires most.
After Andreas finished the call, he walked back to his daughter Alice's bedroom with steady steps.
Alice had just finished her painting and was quietly looking at the lifelike image of herself on the drawing board.
He sat beside the small coffee table with a domineering and handsome look on his face, crossing his legs and looking solemn and dignified, like a sacred and inviolable king.
On the small coffee table, a cup of steaming coffee exudes an alluring aroma;
Next to it is a bunch of gorgeous flowers, the colors of the flowers are bright and eye-catching, as if showing people the beauty of life.
Next to the coffee cup is a neatly folded newspaper, as if telling the news situation today.
"Oh, dear, your drawings are getting better and better; they can rival Kate's!"
Andreas looked at his daughter lovingly, his eyes full of pride and honor.
When Alice heard her father's praise, a bright smile bloomed on her little face and her eyes were shining like twinkling stars.
"Dad, Mr. Kate hasn't been to our house for a long time. I want to draw a picture for him too."
Alice raised her head and looked at her father with her big watery eyes, her eyes full of anticipation.
"No problem, you can call him or we can go visit them." Andreas smiled and stroked his daughter's hair.
"Is it okay? Won't it disturb them?" Alice hesitated, with a worried look on her little face.
"Oh, no, I'll help you contact them right away, how about that?" Andreas looked at his daughter lovingly while taking out his cell phone, ready to call Kate.
"I'll do it myself." Alice put down the paintbrush, turned and walked into the bathroom, turned on the water valve, and washed her hands.
The water flowed gurglingly, as if applauding Alice's courage and independence.
Soon, Alice walked out of the bathroom with an expectant look on her face, walked to the bedside, and picked up her cell phone.
Her little hand gently slid across the screen, opened WeChat, found Mr. Kate's profile picture, and made a video call.
At this time, Jiang Chengyu was leaning on the mattress, staring at Mu Xiaoji at the desk, writing something on the laptop seriously.
In the silent room, the WeChat ringtone suddenly rang. Jiang Chengyu quickly picked up the phone and saw Alice on the display.
Mu Xiaoji raised his eyes to look at the little monster, and saw that the corners of his mouth suddenly raised in a bright smile.
Jiang Chengyu connected the video. Alice in the video had big, clear eyes like a spring, and said with a smile, "Hello, Mr. Kate. I hope I didn't disturb you!"
"How come, are you drawing?" Jiang Chengyu's voice was gentle and kind.
"Mr. Kate, how did you know I was painting?" Alice asked curiously.
"Haha, because there's paint on the tip of your nose! What did you paint today?" Jiang Chengyu replied with a smile.
When Alice heard Jiang Chengyu say that the tip of her nose was dyed with paint, her chubby little hands unconsciously touched her nose, and then she turned the camera over.
Jiang Chengyu saw a solemn and dignified Andreas appear in the camera on the drawing board.
"Baby, you're awesome! I can't believe that you can improve your painting skills so quickly. I'm so proud of your persistence and progress." Jiang Chengyu praised sincerely.
"Mr. Kate, are you and Mu free? I want to keep my promise and take a photo for the two of you." Alice looked at Jiang Chengyu with anticipation.
"Okay." Jiang Chengyu did not forget to give Mu Xiaoji a shot, and Mu Xiaoji smiled and waved.
"Baby, we will visit your home tomorrow. Is it convenient for you?" Jiang Chengyu looked at Alice with anticipation in his eyes.
Alice is about to respond when Andreas steps into the frame.
"Dear Kate, Coleman is going to have a party with his students tomorrow." Andreas glanced at his watch and continued:
"I'm afraid I'll tell you when you see Youyou later. Coleman called me a while ago to borrow the cruise ship.
I'm going to have a party on a cruise ship with my classmates tonight. Do you want to come and join in the fun?"
"Honey, have you made up your mind?" Jiang Chengyu asked.
"Of course, why not? They are in the prime of adolescence, and I have arranged for someone to take care of it!" Andreas showed a confident smile on his face.
"Oh, okay!" Jiang Chengyu looked convinced.
Andreas suddenly thought of something and asked hurriedly, "Hey, what's going on? Youyou has already finished school, why do you seem to be lying in bed leisurely?"
Jiang Chengyu smiled bitterly: "Yes, you read it right. I didn't feel well after coming back last night, so I didn't go out today. I asked the security guard to send Youyou back."
"What's going on? Are you okay? I heard that you two brothers treat Youyou like your precious baby and usually do everything for her yourselves. How come you can leave her to the security guard today?" Andreas asked with concern.
"It's okay. After all, we can't be with her forever. We should be independent occasionally and slowly adapt. When Youyou comes back, I'll call you back after we understand the situation." Jiang Chengyu's eyes revealed a hint of helplessness.
"Okay, see you later." After saying that, Andreas hung up the video.
Mu Xiaoji walked over to the bed with a cup of hot water and sat down. "Little monster, have a drink of water. I was busy with my own things and didn't get you a glass of water all afternoon."
Jiang Chengyu took the cup and comforted her, "I'm not thirsty either. I just lay down without doing anything." After that, he took a sip of water. Mu Xiaoji took the cup and put it on the bedside table.
"How do you feel?" Mu Xiaoji asked with concern.
"Much better, don't be too nervous." Jiang Chengyu looked at Mu Xiaoji with a smile.
"How can I not worry? You still have a long time to live. If I don't find a way to cure you, you will suffer even more when you are old!"
Mu Xiaoji held the little monster's hand tightly in self-blame, "I'm sorry, little monster; all these disasters are caused by me. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be so scarred and bruised."
"Xiao Ji, it's not as complicated as you think. My condition is just a short period of time. I will be strong in three to five years. Don't let your imagination run wild. Just smile for me."
Jiang Chengyu said jokingly while reaching out to smooth out the wrinkles between Xiaoji's brows.
At this moment, the quiet atmosphere was broken by a burst of hurried footsteps. The footsteps came from far away, coming from outside, with a sense of urgency and panic.
The footsteps stopped abruptly at the door, as if the visitor was trying to calm himself down at that moment.
Immediately afterwards, there were three crisp and powerful knocks on the door, which sounded particularly clear in this quiet space.
Mu Xiaoji looked at the little monster on the bed, smiled gently, his eyes full of love, and said softly: "Look, our little princess has learned her lesson!"
Jiang Chengyu raised the corner of his mouth slightly and responded: "Please come in."
The door was slowly pushed open, and the first head to pop in was Youyou. She looked so cute, like a curious little rabbit.
Youyou had a bright smile on her face, as if it could dispel all the haze. She skipped to the bedside, her eyes full of concern.
"Brother Cheng Yu, how are you now?" Youyou's voice was clear and pleasant, like the sound of a yellow oriole singing in a valley.
"Much better. Are you happy at school today?" Jiang Chengyu's voice was gentle and powerful, with a hint of doting on Youyou.
"Well, it's not bad. Mr. Coleweiler's lectures are always so funny and humorous. I quite like this teaching style!
Also, Mr. Clayville has arranged a cruise party tomorrow night. I want you to come with me, but...
I am also worried about Brother Cheng Yu's health." Youyou lowered her eyebrows and eyes, with a conflicted look on her face.
Jiang Chengyu looked at Youyou's appearance, and his heart warmed. He said, "Don't worry, my poor little thing. Let the security guard drive tomorrow. I'll be fine."
Mu Xiaoji, however, was full of worry, and said, "Little monster, don't be so stubborn, your health is more important."
"Brother Cheng Yu, they are all my classmates, including Mr. Coleweiler. He takes good care of me. I can go and play by myself! When you get better, take me out to play." Youyou made the arrangements considerately, her eyes full of anticipation.
After Youyou finished speaking, her eyes were drawn to the medical books and the running notebook on the desk.
She walked over and sat in the office chair, looking at Mu Xiaoji's document curiously. "Brother Xiaoji, what you wrote is so profound, I can't understand it."
"I only understood it after Brother Cheng Yu explained it to me. He has rich clinical experience and likes to study and research. We two have found a treasure!" Mu Xiaoji responded with a smile.
"Haha, what Brother Xiaoji said makes sense." Youyou smiled happily.
"Stop making fun of me. I was just learning to kill time at that time. I still didn't know whether I could return to my motherland.
I have nothing and can't go anywhere." Jiang Chengyu's tone was filled with helplessness and melancholy.
Mu Xiaoji pretended to be depressed and muttered: "In my opinion, from the moment Karina rescued you and brought you home, she never intended to let you leave.
"Alas! After all, it's all because of your enchanting face. It really attracts a lot of attention and brings you endless troubles!"
As he spoke, he reached out and pinched the little monster's chin, and couldn't help shaking his head. His tone contained a hint of teasing towards Jiang Chengyu, but also seemed to be mixed with a bit of helplessness and regret.
It was as if she was blaming Jiang Chengyu's outstanding looks for bringing her so many unnecessary troubles, but at the same time she couldn't help but sigh that fate was so cruel and helpless.
Youyou stared at Brother Xiaoji, who was always serious and unsmiling, and felt an indescribable surprise in her heart.
She couldn't believe her eyes. This brother, who was always known for his calmness, showed such a relaxed and humorous side at this moment! It was as if a bright ray of sunshine penetrated the heavy clouds and illuminated the whole room.
In an instant, a laughter as clear and pleasant as a flowing spring and as beautiful as a silver bell came out from Youyou's mouth.
The laughter was like the sound of nature, full of endless joy and vitality, echoing in the air, making people unable to help but be intoxicated by it.
"I said..." Youyou blinked mischievously, with a sly smile on the corner of her mouth.
He walked closer to the two and continued, "Can we keep the benefits within the family? Can you two just be kind enough to give me one?"
As she spoke, she shook her little head, her eyes flashing with anticipation, and she seemed to be very confident in this proposal.
Mu Xiaoji grabbed Youyou's ear at lightning speed and said, "Little girl, can you tell your brother again?"
At this moment, Mu Xiaoji seemed to have transformed into a ferocious lion, exuding majesty and dominance from head to toe.
Youyou, whose ears were pulled, looked like a frightened little rabbit.
"Brother Xiaoji, I'm wrong. It hurts so much! My ear is going to fall off. Brother Chengyu, please save me!"
Tears welled up in Youyou's eyes, but she was powerless to resist. The whole scene was extremely tense, and the air around them seemed to freeze...
"Xiao Ji, let go, Youyou was just joking!" Jiang Chengyu grabbed Xiao Ji tightly, grabbed Youyou's hand by the ear, and pleaded.
Youyou pouted angrily, looking heartbroken. With red eyes, she looked at Mu Xiaoji coldly and said:
"Mu Xiaoji, listen to me carefully. From the moment you revived my new life, I, Youyou, have decided to follow you for the rest of my life!" After saying that, Youyou turned around and ran to the door.
