Like you in the sun

Lin Fanyin raised her hand and touched Lin Yijun's cheek. Her fingertips stroked the wrinkles on his face and eyes. Her heart ached. She repeated over and over again, "No, no, no."

The sound became lower and lower, and lighter and lighter.

Lin Yijun suddenly realized that her daughter was so sad because she saw the old-age makeup she had put on.

He laughed out loud, but tears kept falling. He said with a choked voice, "It's fake, all fake. Daddy attended the wedding of his comrade's daughter today, and he had to appear with his comrades, so he put on this makeup."

Gently wiping the tears from his daughter's face, he said softly, "Daddy, go wash your face."

The daughter hugged herself tightly, more and more tightly.

Lin Yijun: "My baby, my sweetheart."

He picked up his daughter and went to the sink in the shower room. He held her tightly with one hand and turned on the faucet to wash his face with the other hand.

After taking the towel from his daughter and drying his face, he said softly, "Dad just put on old-age makeup."

Holding his daughter's hand and stroking her cheek, he asked, "Now that daddy has washed his face, is it the same as before?"

Lin Fanyin: “Yeah.”

Lin Yijun: "Sweetheart, don't cry, don't cry. Just be obedient, okay?"

Lin Fanyin nodded while crying and replied softly, "Yes."

Lin Yijun placed his warm lips on his daughter's forehead and kissed her gently, saying, "My baby is so good."

She returned to the living room, sat on the sofa, and held her daughter in her arms to comfort her.

The doorbell rang and the nanny went to open the door. She half-knelt and changed Chen Yang's slippers.

Chen Yang walked into the living room and saw Lin Fanyin's face covered with tears and she was still sobbing slightly. He hurriedly stepped forward and touched her forehead to feel the temperature.

Lin Fanyin: “Uncle.”

Chen Yang asked: "Yinyin, are you feeling uncomfortable again?"

Lin Fanyin shook her head and replied, "No."

Chen Yang: "Why are you crying like this?"

Lin Yijun paused and replied, "It's my fault."

After hearing the reason, Chen Yang said unhappily, "You made us cry again! We have been crying every day these past few days."

"You knew that the child would not be able to bear seeing you like this, so why did you let her see it?"

As soon as the words fell, Lin Fanyin threw herself into his arms, hugging him tightly, as if she wanted to melt into his body. Her big watery eyes, shining brightly like bright stars, looked up.

The anger that had risen in Chen Yang disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by an indescribable tenderness, and a warm feeling flowed through his heart.

Lin Fanyin: "Uncle, don't be angry."

Chen Yang couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing an extremely doting smile that seemed to be able to melt everything in the world, and he replied gently: "Okay."

"Little boy, have you taken your medicine?"

Lin Fanyin: “No.”

Chen Yang divided the medicines. The large tablets needed to be broken apart, and the pills needed to be rolled into small pieces.

Lin Yijun took the water cup and tasted the temperature, then said, "Baby, the water is still a little hot, wait a while before drinking."

Then, I fed my daughter medicine and water mouthful by mouthful.

Lin Fanyin: "Dad, it's so hard."

Lin Yijun: "There is still one bottle of oral solution left, and I have finished taking today's medicine."

After Lin Fanyin drank the medicine, a bitter taste in his mouth went straight to the top of his head, and he felt a little retching.

Lin Yijun peeled a candy and fed it to his daughter, gently stroking her back.

I feel so distressed! But I am powerless to bear this pain for my daughter.

Lin Fanyin: "Brother Guanying?"

Lu Guanying: “Hmm?”

Lin Fanyin: "Brother Guanying, how long do I have to take the medicine?"

Lu Guanying: "I'm back to normal."

Knowing Lin Fanyin's physical condition, it would take a long time to take the medicine. I didn't want her to have any psychological burden, but I didn't want to lie to her. I had to answer like this, but I didn't answer at all.

She doesn't like bitter taste, not even the slightest bit. But she has to take such bitter medicine every day, which is really a torture for her.

Lin Yijun: "Do you want more candy?"

Lin Fanyin: “No.”

She hugged Lin Yijun's arm, holding it tightly and snuggling up to his side.

Lin Yijun pulled his arm out and pulled his daughter into his arms. He lowered his eyes with love and said softly, "If there were only decoctions in ancient times, what would my precious baby do?"

After thinking for a moment, Lin Fanyin replied, "Then knock me out and then give me medicine."

Lin Yijun: "Dad can't bear to let me go."

"Baby, have you weighed yourself today?"

Lin Fanyin: “Eighty-six kilograms.”

Lin Yijun: "It's not easy to gain weight, but losing weight is so fast!"

Lin Fanyin: "I will be able to recover soon."

Lin Yijun pinched his daughter's nose and said in a deliberately amusing tone, "Dad will give you a nickname that's easy to raise. How about calling you 'Dog Leftovers'?"

After saying that, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The people around also laughed when they heard the name.

Lin Fanyin: “I don’t want it.”

Lin Yijun: “No.”

Lin Fanyin: "Dad, I'm easy to support."

Lin Yijun: "It only weighs 86 kilograms even with such careful care."

"If you were born in an ordinary family, you wouldn't survive!"

Lin Fanyin: "This injury was an accident."

Missing someone always comes so unexpectedly! In an instant, Li Xiang's figure emerged clearly yet vaguely, and his warm voice seemed to linger in my ears.

He just wanted to protect Li Xiang and didn't want to mention the shooting in Jinghai.

Given my uncle and father’s status, position and power, if they want to find out the truth, all they need is a glance.

Lin Fanyin: “Dad.”

Nestled in Lin Yijun's arms, with her ear against her heart, she listened to his heartbeat and felt the interweaving and lingering of each other's breath.

Lin Yijun lowered his eyes and smiled, gently patted his daughter's back, and replied: "Dad is here."

Lu Guanying stood up and covered Lin Fanyin with a blanket.

Lin Yijun: "Baby, it's time to rest."

Lin Fanyin: "Dad, I don't want to sleep."

Lin Yijun: "What time is it?"

"Daddy will hold you while you sleep. Be good and go to sleep."

Lin Fanyin slowly opened her eyes. A ray of morning sunlight shone through the window onto her face. She subconsciously blocked it with her hands.

The room was very quiet, without any movement at all.

After getting up, washing up, and eating breakfast alone, I seemed calm, but in fact, I felt more and more sad.

It seems that only when I am injured or sick will my parents and uncle stay by my side.

Just like before, I spent every day waiting. But there were no Xiaozhu, Guanying, or Xinxing to wait with me.

I tell myself over and over again that I have grown up and should not be too clingy or too dependent!

But I still felt wronged and wanted to cry. The physical discomfort was very uncomfortable and I couldn't suppress the feeling of helplessness and uneasiness.
