Upon hearing this, Xie Beiling lowered his head, sniffed his sweaty clothes, and shook his head with a wry smile.

"Okay, Uncle will definitely wash it clean later and give Mengmeng a 'smell-good' uncle, okay?"

"Hehe, okay~"

Mengmeng nodded in satisfaction, her big eyes blinking adorably.

She pulled Xie Beiling to sit down for a meal, her eyes sparkling as she explained:

"This was specially prepared for you by Uncle Si!"

Gu Jingsi, who was standing to the side, felt a little embarrassed by what she said and coughed a few times awkwardly.

Xie Beiling was stunned for a moment, his eyes filled with surprise and a touch of emotion, and he smiled as he thanked Gu Jingsi.

Gu Jingsi gave an awkward "hmm," his ears turning slightly red.

The meal was very plentiful, with six exquisite dishes, including meat, vegetables, fish, and chicken, as well as a pot of fragrant corn and pork rib soup. The staple food was fragrant and soft rice.

Xie Beiling also thoughtfully prepared a small bowl for Mengmeng, put some food into her bowl, and gently fed her bite by bite.

The three sat around a table, creating a very warm and cozy atmosphere.

Gu Jingsi, who had been watching Mengmeng eat with tender eyes, couldn't help but ask, "How is Xie Yumin doing now?"

Xie Beiling's eyes sparkled with barely concealed excitement and joy.

"Yu Mian's vital signs are recovering, and she may wake up within a week."

Gu Jingsi was shocked and happy for him after hearing this, and murmured softly, "You've done so much for Xie Yumin, even a block of ice should melt by now..."

Xie Beiling smiled, his gaze gentle yet firm.

"I will not use this to force her to make a choice; I will only prove my feelings through my actions."

His tone was gentle and sincere, which was very touching.

Mengmeng's eyes lit up as she listened, and she couldn't help but exclaim, "Uncle Ling is so great!"

I couldn't help but feel a surge of curiosity.

She asked, "Uncle Ling, may I meet this mysterious aunt?"

Xie Beiling nodded with a smile.

"Of course, I'll take you to see her later."

Gu Jingsi smiled and waved his hand. "I won't go, you guys go ahead."

Inside the sterile ward,

Xie Yumin lay quietly on the hospital bed. Her thin figure showed a hint of frailty, but it could not hide her extraordinary beauty. She was like a wisp of morning mist, serene and moving.

Mengmeng stared at her face, lost in thought, and blurted out, "Mommy..."

Xie Beiling smiled and patted Mengmeng's little head. "Mengmeng is so cute. When Yumian wakes up, how about we let her recognize you as her goddaughter?"

Mengmeng shook her head seriously and said in her childish voice:

"Uncle Ling, Aunt Yu Mian looks exactly like my mother."

She frowned slightly, carefully examining Xie Yumin's face, her heart filled with unwavering resolve.

Aunt Yu Mian looks exactly like Ruolan's mother!

However, Xie Beiling just smiled and thought she was just a child being confused.

He didn't take those words to heart and simply ignored them.

He was so engrossed in the immense joy of Yu Mian's impending awakening that he paid no attention to anything else.

Mengmeng frowned, walked over, and lay down by the bed, cupping her face in her hands as she looked at Xie Yumin.

Aunt Yumian looks just like her mother when she's asleep.

Mengmeng couldn't resist reaching out her little hand and gently touching Xie Yumin's hand...

What she touched was a warm sensation; Ruolan's mother's body was ice-cold.

Just as Mengmeng was lost in thought, she felt Xie Yumin's fingers twitch slightly in her palm.

Even her eyelids seemed to tremble slightly.

Mengmeng was stunned, then excitedly tugged at Xie Beiling's trouser leg and whispered,

"Uncle Ling, Aunt Yu Mian is about to wake up!"

Xie Beiling was unaware of the commotion that had just occurred.

He crouched down and hugged Mengmeng, patiently explaining, "Mengmeng, Aunt Yumian is in a living dead state right now; she won't move or react."

He smiled gently, trying to calm Mengmeng's excitement.

Mengmeng frowned firmly, wanting to continue arguing, but Xie Beiling gently advised, "You might be mistaken, Mengmeng."

Just then, a researcher came over to report on the research progress.

Xie Beiling responded, picked up Mengmeng, and prepared to leave.

Mengmeng couldn't help but turn around.

Looking through the glass wall at Xie Yumin on the hospital bed,

To her astonishment, she saw a tear silently slide down Xie Yumin's cheek!

Mengmeng stared wide-eyed in surprise, her eyes filled with disbelief.

She tugged hard at Xie Beiling's sleeve, looked up excitedly, and said, "Uncle Ling~~ turn around and look! Aunt Yu Mian... she's crying!"

Xie Beiling looked down at Mengmeng's tender little face, his eyes filled with seriousness and eagerness.

He smiled and patted her little head. "Mengmeng, are you tired? Did you see wrong? Aunt Yumian won't wake up until next week at the earliest."

He smiled indulgently, not even glancing back, taking it all as a joke.

Mengmeng looked anxiously at Xie Yumin in the ward, her mouth slightly open, as if she wanted to say something...

In the end, she could only let Xie Beiling take her away.

……

Midnight,

The moonlight, like water, shone on the adorable little face.

She sat blankly by the window, in front of a flowerpot filled with ice stones.

She cupped her chin in her small, delicate hands, sighed softly, and looked confused and worried.

"Why hasn't it sprouted yet? What should I do?"

She looked melancholy, her brows furrowed tightly.

That arrogant, pretentious divine bird, after throwing her this ice stone, vanished without a trace.

Mengmeng pouted, "He said he was my guardian, but he just disappeared like that."

Thinking of Aunt Yu Mian, whom I had seen during my research that afternoon,

Another question popped into Mengmeng's little head.

It's really strange that Aunt Yu Mian looks exactly like Ruolan's mother.

She hugged the little white fox in her arms tighter and asked in confusion:

"Xiao Bai, how can there be two people in the world who look exactly alike?"

The little white fox yawned lazily, wagged its fluffy little tail, and didn't even open its eyes.

"Squeak squeak squeak~~ I know nothing about the human world."

However, when I was born, I had several older sisters and sisters who looked exactly like me!

Mengmeng tilted her head and thought seriously for a while, but still couldn't figure it out.

Everyone she's met looks different, and in her current knowledge, she's never heard of a human being being able to carry two babies at the same time...

Feeling a bit sleepy from thinking, Mengmeng had no choice but to put the question aside for the time being.

She got up and poured water on the ice stone, silently wishing that it would sprout quickly.

Then he took the little white fox to bed.

In the middle of the night, Mengmeng suddenly woke up from her dream.

Her little face was streaked with tears, and her eyes were filled with heartache and sadness.

She had just dreamt of a little fairy butterfly covered in wounds, pleading with her for help.

Mengmeng clenched her little fists tightly, and couldn't help but recall the scene from her dream where her father used a magic butterfly to save her mother in Europe...

That dream was actually true; perhaps this time will be the same?

Mengmeng sniffed and secretly made up her mind.

Tomorrow, she must find out who is hurting Psylocke...
