Dr. Lin, you hurt me.

I don’t know if Xuanxuan understood or not, he just nodded and said, “Yes, mom will protect me.”

Zhang Lingbei sat on the bed, Xuanxuan sitting in his arms. "Brother, do you have a mother too?"

Zhang Lingbei did not answer immediately. He reached out and rubbed Xuanxuan's little bald head. "I don't have a mother. She went to a very far place to protect me and she will never come back."

"Brother, will my mother come back?"

"I will be back. Look, your mother is back." Zhang Lingbei looked up and saw Xuanxuan's mother standing at the door of the ward. "Okay, brother, go check on the other kids."

After walking out of the ward, Zhang Lingbei saw Zhang Yan sitting in a wheelchair waiting for him in the corridor outside the ward.

"Do you miss your mother?" Zhang Yan saw the redness in Zhang Lingbei's eyes. He had been watching Zhang Lingbei in front of the monitor. He thought he might need him, so he waited for him at the door of the ward.

Zhang Lingbei squatted down, took off his mask, and lay on Zhang Yan's right leg. He said in a muffled voice, "I have forgotten what my mother looks like."

"I remember that she was always so young and beautiful."

When Zhang Lingbei's mother died, Zhang Lingbei was still young and Zhang Yan was already an outstanding teenager. He remembered her gentleness and kindness.

Zhang Yan wanted to touch Zhang Lingbei's head, but then he thought that the baby has grown up now and has become an adult who can bring warmth to others.

Zhang Yan patted Zhang Lingbei on the back and said, "Go to work. They are all waiting for you."

Zhang Lingbei hugged Zhang Yan and went back to ask the makeup artist to touch up his makeup. However, his eyes and nose were red and no amount of powder could cover them up.

"That's it, it's not shameful to cry here." The producer felt that through post-editing, Zhang Lingbei could be portrayed as a gentle and soft-hearted person.

Zhang Lingbei also calmed down and played cooing with the children, folding paper airplanes, and performing singing and dancing. The children were all very happy.

There are also some children who are in poor health and need 24-hour care. They live in the NICU and cannot see their parents, and the medical staff will not talk to them.

Zhang Lingbei followed Deng Leqiao into putting on isolation suits and entered the NICU fully armed.

"Sister Lele, we are dressed like this, do they have an infectious disease?" Zhang Lingbei felt that this must be to prevent infection.

"We have viruses and bacteria in our bodies. They are too fragile and cannot withstand any infection or accidents." Deng Leqiao helped Zhang Lingbei organize isolation suits and masks.

"I'm sorry. Is there anything I can do?"

"Help them change their diapers and clean their bodies. Feed them and give them milk."

Deng Leqiao takes care of every child tenderly and teaches Zhang Lingbei carefully and patiently.

Zhang Lingbei did not strike because of the dirtiness and tiredness. After taking care of two children, he felt more tired than exercising in the gym for an hour.

He was very nervous and careful throughout the process, fearing that his carelessness or mistakes would cause discomfort and pain to the children. He touched every baby in the family, which was more precious than jewelry. Some children cried quietly because of the pain in their bodies, and Zhang Lingbei comforted them softly and sang nursery rhymes for them.

Zhang Yan's eyes were red as he watched this scene while sitting in front of the monitor.

The maternal love Zhang Lingbei experienced was only until he was four years old, and the tenderness of those few years made his childhood long.

Zhang Lingbei may not know the nursery rhymes and children's songs he knows, but Zhang Yan knows that they were all sung to him by the nanny at home to coax him to sleep. During that time, he kept looking for his mother, so the nanny could only hold him and sing nursery rhymes all night.

When Zhang Yan was a child, he accidentally heard the nanny complain in the kitchen that Zhang Lingbei was difficult to take care of at night and cried all night long. If the Zhang family had not paid her a high enough salary, she would have resigned long ago.

Zhang Yan asked the nurse to push him back. The crying child he once was can now bring warmth and smiles to other children. Only he knows the ups and downs of his growth experience.

The nurse pushed Zhang Yan out of the teaching demonstration room and passed through the long corridor, where some children were chasing and playing.

Xuanxuan ran to Zhang Yan's wheelchair and said, "Dad, are you here to play with me?"

The producer was also shocked when he saw a child rushing up to Mr. Zhang and calling him "Dad". He was so scared that he quickly hugged the child in his arms and wanted to take the child away.

"It's okay, put him down and play." Zhang Yan didn't want to make the child sad, and Lin Feng was not there to help him comfort the child at this time.

"I came to see if Xuanxuan listened to the doctor. Xuanxuan is very well behaved. He didn't even cry when he got the injection just now." Zhang Yan also touched Xuanxuan's little bald head.

"Xuanxuan is very well behaved. Just now, there was a prince accompanying me to read." Xuanxuan said in a baby voice.

"Do you like that brother?"

"Xu...Huan." She has two dimples when she smiles. What a pretty child.

"Xuanxuan, be good. I have to go back for the injection too."

The producer immediately picked up Xuanxuan and took a small doll from the staff and gave it to Xuanxuan.

"Bye Dad!"

"Goodbye Xuanxuan."

Zhang Yan didn't have those people to explain to. Instead of telling the child that he was abandoned by his father, it would be better to let people misunderstand that he had an illegitimate child.

After Zhang Yan left, Xuanxuan ran away by himself to show the other children his new doll.

"Don't tell anyone a word about what happened outside the camera today." The producer instructed the staff around him.

"What about this child?"

"This child has a father. He looks a bit like the gentleman just now. Maybe the child has made a mistake. But the father hasn't visited the child for more than a year..." A nurse happened to pass by. She knew that the child had been abandoned by his father. "I hope you don't tell Xuanxuan the truth."

Everyone then realized that Zhang Yan's attitude of neither denying nor admitting was actually a form of protection for the child.

Zhang Yan took out his cell phone and called Aunt Liu, "Aunt Liu, make a delicious salad for Zhang Lingbei. Well, he will have lunch with me at noon."

Sent a message to Zhang Lingbei and Lin Feng [Let’s have lunch together].

It’s better to be a child, because you will say whatever you want. When you grow up, you will lose the desire to share.

Zhang Yan did not wait for Lin Feng to have dinner together. When he was hesitating whether to send a message to ask Lin Feng why he was avoiding him, Aunt Liu saw that Dr. Lin had not come to eat and had already sent lunch to Lin Feng's table.

Seeing that Dr. Lin was not in the office, I went to the nurse's station to ask around carefully.

"The nurse said that Doctor Lin had an operation. Being a doctor is so hard. He can't even have enough food to eat. No wonder Doctor Lin is so thin. His parents must be heartbroken when they see him." Aunt Liu told Zhang Yan what she had seen and heard when she came back.
