Gu Shiyu raised an eyebrow, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

"If you don't get up now, there won't be any breakfast left."

Upon hearing "breakfast," Mengmeng sat up with a yawn.

She stretched out her little hand and waved it at Gu Shiyu.

"Brother, can you help Mengmeng get dressed?"

Gu Shiyu's lips twitched again, but he reluctantly leaned over and helped her put on her clothes.

Although his movements were a bit clumsy, he was extra careful and even braided her hair into two little braids.

"troublesome."

Gu Shiyu complained, but his eyes revealed undisguised doting affection.

The little white fox crawled out of the blankets and rolled around.

Mengmeng picked up a small piece of clothing and dressed Xiaobai in it.

Little White squeaked lazily, "Foxes don't like wearing clothes! They don't like them anymore!"

"Don't cause any more trouble, Xiaobai."

Gu Shiyu pinched Xiaobai's ear.

Mengmeng patted Xiaobai's head and giggled, "Xiaobai, you look so good in that!"

Just as Mengmeng was carrying Xiaobai off the bed.

I glanced at the window of the small castle across the street and saw a boy with burns all over his body standing there.

The boy was hidden in the shadows, only his outline was blurred, but his scarred skin was clearly visible.

It's my second brother...

Mengmeng remembered her promise to Xiaohei.

"Brother, can I go play with my second brother today?"

She asked Gu Shiyu in a soft, timid voice, her eyes filled with anticipation.

Gu Shiyu's expression darkened slightly. "Second brother... doesn't like to see people."

He hoped that Mengmeng would heal his second brother, but he was also worried that it would upset him...

Mengmeng's little face suddenly drooped, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"My second brother is so pitiful..."

Although Gu Shiyu found it a bit troublesome, he couldn't help but soften when he saw her pitiful look.

He coughed lightly, trying to appear calm.

"Okay, don't overthink it. Let's go eat. We still need to choose a nanny later."

Mengmeng blinked her big eyes and nodded obediently.

"Good~"

Because the Gu family members are all aloof and dislike large groups of people, they have very few servants except for a few essential ones. But now that Mengmeng is here, things are different. Mengmeng is so young, and she needs someone to take care of her in every way.

After breakfast, Mengmeng picked out two women from among the forty or fifty women.

One is Aunt Xue, who can't speak, and the other is Aunt Ping, who has a huge black spot on her face.

Mengmeng remembered that the director had said that it was difficult for people with disabilities to find jobs, and Mengmeng wanted to help them.

Afterwards, Gu Shiyu carried Mengmeng downstairs.

I'm planning to take her to the mall to buy some new clothes and toys.

"What a troublesome guy."

Although he said that, his movements were very gentle, as if he was afraid of hurting the soft little one in his arms.

Mengmeng hugged the little white fox and leaned lazily against Gu Shiyu's chest.

Her little hand would occasionally rub against Gu Shiyu's sleeve, like a clingy kitten, making Gu Shiyu's lips unconsciously curl up in a smile.

Just as the atmosphere was warm and cozy, Gu Shiyu's phone rang.

He frowned slightly, and when he saw the incoming caller ID flashing on the screen, his frown deepened.

"Ugh, this is so annoying."

He couldn't help but complain under his breath, and gently put Mengmeng on the ground.

"Mengmeng, wait here for a while and don't run around. Your brother has something to take care of."

His tone was slightly arrogant, as if he were giving a command, reflecting his usual haughty manner.

Mengmeng looked up at Gu Shiyu with her big, blinking eyes, her face full of confusion, but she nodded obediently and replied in her childish voice, "Okay, brother~"

Seeing that she was so obedient, Gu Shiyu breathed a slight sigh of relief, but still pouted arrogantly.

He turned around to answer the phone, saying coldly, "What is it? I'm busy!"

His tone was indifferent, but he was still thinking about Mengmeng, who was sitting obediently not far away.

Mengmeng is strolling in the garden, holding a little white fox.

Sunlight shone on her face, and Xiao Bai purred contentedly in her arms; everything seemed peaceful and beautiful.

Suddenly, a series of urgent meows came from afar.

Mengmeng turned her head and saw a little black cat hanging upside down by the window of the three-story castle, struggling desperately and about to fall off at any moment.

Meanwhile, a boy covered in burns struggled to reach out and try to rescue the cat, his body almost completely tilted in mid-air.

Mengmeng's heart tightened, and tears welled up in her eyes.

It's my second brother and Little Black...

"don't want……"

Mengmeng called out anxiously and ran over as fast as she could.

But before it could get close, the little black cat had already fallen from the window and crashed heavily to the ground.

With a dull thud, Xiao Hei spat out a mouthful of blood...

His body trembled, his breath gradually weakened, and finally he stopped breathing.

Mengmeng rushed over, squatted down next to Xiao Hei, and tears streamed down her face.

She carefully picked up Xiao Hei's limp body and gently stroked its soft fur.

Tears blurred her vision as she murmured with heartache, "Xiao Hei... I'm sorry... Mengmeng is late..."

This little guy was begging her to save his second brother last night; it was so kind, but now…

Mengmeng carefully pulled Xiao Hei into her arms, tears falling drop by drop onto the black cat's fur.

She looked up and met Gu Shiche's gaze.

The second brother's eyes were bloodshot, filled with helplessness and sorrow.

That look deeply pierced Mengmeng's heart.

"I'm sorry... Second Brother..."

Her voice choked with emotion, as if one could feel Gu Shiche's pain.

Gu Shiche's eyes welled up with tears. He hurriedly looked away and hid himself in the shadow of the curtains.

His hands trembled slightly as he whispered to his servants, "Bury Little Black..."

The servants downstairs stepped forward and tried to take Xiao Hei from Mengmeng's arms.

"Miss Mengmeng, Xiao Hei's heart had been failing for a long time. The doctor said it might not survive a month, but I never expected it to happen today..."

The little girl held Xiao Hei tightly in her tiny hands, her heart aching for him.

Last night, she could feel that although Xiao Hei's heart was failing, it still had a sliver of life force struggling stubbornly.

She looked up at the servant, her eyes resolute, "Auntie, don't bury Xiao Hei... I can save it! I want to bring Xiao Hei back to life, sob sob..."

The servant was taken aback, not quite believing what the little girl in front of him was saying.

But seeing her serious expression, he hesitated for a moment and still kept Xiao Hei in her arms.

Mengmeng gently stroked Xiao Hei and whispered to comfort it, "Xiao Hei, don't be afraid... Mengmeng will save you."

She knew that Xiao Hei had been with her second brother for ten years, and that her second brother and Xiao Hei were inseparable.

This cat was once my second brother's best friend and his only solace.

It didn't pray for Mengmeng to heal it; its only wish was for Mengmeng to help its second brother regain his health.

Mengmeng felt increasingly heartbroken, but her resolve only grew stronger.

She carried Little Black and hurriedly ran back to the big castle.

She planned to use her divine water and spirit butterfly to save Xiao Hei's life.

Gu Shiche watched Mengmeng's actions from behind the curtains, his heart filled with complex emotions.

He knew that Mengmeng was an adopted child of the Gu family, and her vibrant life deeply moved him, but because of his ugly appearance, he never had the courage to approach her.

He had already felt Mengmeng's kindness in their brief encounter.

But Xiao Hei... is already dead, and can never be brought back to life.

The pain in Gu Shiche's eyes intensified. He drew the curtains and hid himself in the darkness...

Mengmeng hurriedly carried Xiao Hei back to her room.

I carefully placed Xiao Hei on the bed.

Her fingers gently stroked Xiao Hei, her eyes glistening with tears, her heart filled with anxiety and self-reproach.

"I'm sorry, Xiao Hei, I'm late..."

She choked up, her voice soft and filled with worry.

She reached out and summoned the spirit butterfly, which fluttered around Xiao Hei, emitting a faint glow.

Mengmeng watched with hope as Lingdie began her treatment.

A few minutes later, Xiao Hei's wound gradually healed and the bleeding stopped.

But Xiao Hei did not resume breathing and remained lying there quietly.

Mengmeng's eyes welled up with tears, "Xiao Hei, why aren't you awake yet..."

Just then, the voice of the little sprite in the space suddenly rang in Mengmeng's mind:

"Mengmeng, the healing effect of the Spirit Butterfly is because it ate the Divine Water and Divine Flower. Compared to using the Divine Water directly, the effect is still somewhat weaker. You can try feeding Xiao Hei the Divine Water."

Mengmeng woke up with a start and quickly summoned a transparent bottle on her wrist, filled with crystal-clear divine water.

She quickly dripped a few drops into Xiao Hei's mouth.

In an instant, Xiao Hei's breathing miraculously returned to normal!
