When Xu Nuonuo woke up, the evening sunlight was just right, pouring down through the transparent glass windows of the hospital.

The ward was very quiet. She was the only patient there. There was no noisy crying for help, no busy rescue workers, and no signs of a disaster.

It's like a dream.

Zhang Man sat beside the bed, her eyes red as she kept wiping away the tears that were falling from the corners of her eyes. When she saw Xu Nuonuo open her eyes, Zhang Man grabbed her hand.

"Nono, you finally woke up! Did you know that you were unconscious for a whole day and night without any movement? It was really scary."

"Mother……"

Xu Nuonuo spoke softly, her dry and hoarse voice sounded like a worn-out thousand-year-old bellows.

"Where am I now?"

"Nigu City Hospital. Nuonuo, didn't daddy buy you a house in the school district? Why would you go to Spain if you don't study hard? There are frequent earthquakes in that country, you..."

Xu Nuonuo's thoughts were already in a mess, and she hadn't seen Zhang Man for a long time, so she couldn't react for a while.

She lowered her brows and listened to Zhang Man's chatter without saying a word. She stared at Zhang Man weakly without blinking.

The bright and tearful eyes seemed to be filled with deep longing, which made Zhang Man feel sad. She stopped talking and sighed.

"Forget it. Mom shouldn't have said that to you. It's all my fault for leaving you alone. I won't do that again. I'll call the doctor. Just wait patiently and don't move."

Zhang Man was about to get up and leave, but Xu Nuonuo seemed to come back to her senses suddenly, and she held Zhang Man's hand tightly.

"Mom, I'm saved... Then, what about Mu Ningchi? Where is he? Has he returned home too?"

"he……"

Zhang Manchu looked at Xu Nuonuo's haggard and pale face. After staring at her in silence for a few seconds, she opened her mouth, but in the end said nothing. She just gently patted the back of Xu Nuonuo's hand.

"Mom is going to call the doctor, you wait."

"mom……"

Xu Nuonuo wanted to say something, but at the end of her sight all she could see was Zhang Man’s back as she hurried out the door.

Xu Nuonuo retracted her gaze and noticed the low cabinet next to the bed. She subconsciously turned her head to look at it. There were several familiar items on it -

An enameled copper-painted jewelry box, a black card and a bunch of Lamborghini keys.

It was something Mu Ningchi gave her, but she returned it.

Xu Nuonuo remembered what Mu Ningchi said about giving her freedom, and the weak beating heart in her chest suddenly became violent.

She held back her breath and began to search frantically. After a few seconds she remembered that her phone had fallen into the ruins after the earthquake.

So Xu Nuonuo pulled out the IV drip on the back of her hand without hesitation and walked out of the ward with trembling steps.

Just as he was about to step out of the door, Zhang Man, who had hurried back with a doctor, raised her hand to stop him.

"Nono, where are you going?"

"Mom!" Xu Nuonuo grabbed Zhang Man tremblingly, "Cell, give me the cell phone, I want to call him, I have something to say to him."

"Nonsense!"

The doctor behind Zhang Man spoke first. He lowered his eyes to look at the back of Xu Nuonuo's hand which was covered with blood, and frowned slightly.

"No matter how big the problem is, just go back to bed and lie down first."

Hearing this, Zhang Man took Xu Nuonuo's hand without saying a word and walked inside, followed closely by the doctor and nurse.

Xu Nuonuo, who survived the disaster, was so thin and small that she had almost no strength to resist. Zhang Man and one of the nurses easily pushed her back onto the bed.

Xu Nuonuo did not struggle anymore.

After the examination, the doctor ordered the nurse to re-hang the drip on Xu Nuonuo, and then turned around to talk to Zhang Man.

"After Ms. Xu was rescued, a professional doctor performed emergency treatment. As long as she wakes up, there is nothing serious. She can eat normally, but try to eat mainly liquid food, not too much at a time. Continue to observe for two to three days before being discharged from the hospital."

"Okay, thank you doctor."

Zhang Man watched the doctor and the nurse walk out of the ward one after another, and her heart finally settled down. She turned to look at Xu Nuonuo.

"Nono, mom will buy you some porridge."

"Mom," Xu Nuonuo repeated pitifully, "Can I have a cell phone..."

"Nono!"

Zhang Man glanced at Xu Nuonuo's anxious and hurried face, called out to her, and her eyes became extremely complicated.

"Are you in a relationship with Mu Ningchi?"

In fact, Zhang Man had doubts just now, but she didn't dare to believe it, so she didn't ask.

Her daughter is still young and has just started college, with a bright future ahead of her. Who is Mu Ningchi? A violent and vicious thug who risks his life at gunpoint all day long.

How could her daughter be in love with Mu Ningchi?

Xu Nuonuo, who was questioned coldly, was not afraid of Zhang Man getting angry and nodded directly.

"Yes, he and I are in a relationship."

! !

Zhang Man was confused.

She gave up the idea of ​​going out to buy porridge for Xu Nuonuo, swayed to sit on the edge of the bed, covered her chest and took several deep breaths before she barely suppressed her anger and spoke.

"Nuo Nuo, you are a good kid. You always know your limits and shouldn't be so impulsive. You and Mu Ningchi have known each other for less than two months. Do you know that he..."

"I know!"

Xu Nuonuo didn't want to hear such words anymore, so she interrupted Zhang Man directly.

"Mom, I know everything about him, but I'm not afraid! Because I'm your daughter, and I like dangerous men just like you."

"you!!"

Zhang Man never thought that Xu Nuonuo would talk to her like this. She was so angry that her lips began to tremble. She subconsciously raised her right hand, as if she wanted to slap Xu Nuonuo.

Xu Nuonuo was so scared that her neck shrank and she pulled the quilt to cover her entire face in an instant.

"That's crazy!"

The slap stopped halfway and never landed.

Hearing this, Xu Nuonuo became bolder. She carefully pulled the quilt down, revealing a pair of big dark eyes staring at Zhang Man.

"Dad used to say the same thing about you."

"What?" Zhang Man was puzzled and was stunned for a moment.

Xu Nuonuo continued: "Dad said the same thing when he went to Xia Country to find you. He said, 'Your mother is simply crazy!'"

Zhang Man's breathing became increasingly difficult and her voice became higher in pitch.

"So you want to be like me? Go crazy for a man and wait for him from the age of eighteen to the age of thirty-six?"

Zhang Man was really disappointed with her daughter. She had thought that with her experience as a lesson, her daughter would at least be calm and rational when choosing a partner.

But the result is——

Xu Nuonuo is even crazier than her...

Xu Nuonuo bit her lip and spoke firmly without any hesitation.

"He is not my father. He doesn't like to be separated from me. He won't leave me alone, and he won't let me wait that long."

"..."

In eighteen years, this is the first time that a generation gap has arisen between Zhang Man and Xu Nuonuo.

Even when she was in adolescence, Xu Nuonuo was still unusually well-behaved.

Zhang Man often feels fortunate for this and tells everyone that her daughter has never had a rebellious period, which makes her very worry-free.

But this daughter who made her so worry-free is now rebellious and seems like she can't be restrained even by nine oxen.

Zhang Man glared at Xu Nuonuo fiercely.

"I am irresponsible and have neglected to discipline you. I will spend more time with you. You can also fall in love, but it must not be with Mu Ningchi. You are not allowed to associate with him anymore!"

The communication was fruitless and Xu Nuonuo couldn't help but mutter something.

"I've grown up and don't need your company anymore... He's not as bad as you think. He even paid for your medical expenses..."

"Don't use this matter to pressure me!"

Zhang Man turned her face to the side.

"Money, when your father comes back, I will pay him back without a penny less. If he can't pay me back, I will give him my life. Nuonuo, I would rather not treat your illness than watch you jump into the fire pit."

"Mother……"

"do not talk!"

Zhang Man stood up and walked out of the ward without looking back.

"If I were given another chance, I would definitely take that contraceptive pill and would never choose Xu Niansheng again!"
