Morning Star

Chapter 423 I find you are becoming more and more like one person

Chujiu had a dream. In the dream, she was in a very beautiful place. Flowers were blooming everywhere, and the breeze blew through the sky, and the petals were flying in the air full of spiritual energy.

But she found that she could not move and could only watch the petals flying, and she could not walk freely among them.

In the dim light, a woman appeared in front of her.

She couldn't see the woman's face clearly, but she felt that she was ethereal and very tall.

No, it’s not that she is very big, it’s that I am very small.

Like... a baby?

Just as I was wondering, I saw the woman squatting down. Due to limited vision, I could only see her snow-white chin and a pair of pink lips.

What a beauty!

Just by looking at her chin and mouth you can tell that this woman is a great beauty.

I saw the pink lips gently curled up, vaguely carrying the most gentle love in the world.

"You were created by me, so I should be considered your mother."

Her voice is pleasant to the ears, like the sound of nature.

Chujiu felt happy after hearing that and didn't even think about what she said.

"I'm sorry that I can't watch you grow up." She said to herself.

The white and slender fingers gently stroked her face, so gently, as if afraid of breaking it.

"Wait till you know..."

My vision became increasingly blurry, and the sounds in my ears gradually faded away.

Know? Know what?

You should finish your sentence! What do you know?

Don't just tell half the story!!

The sleeping girl frowned: "Know...what..."

"..."

Chujiu slowly opened his eyes, and before his mind came to its senses, he felt something cool touching his face.

Looking confusedly: "Stars..."

He looked at her quietly with a faint smile on his lips.

After a moment of silence, Chujiu's mind suddenly flashed with the scene he saw when he lost consciousness. He quickly sat up and held his hand.

"Xingxing, how are you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Mo Xinglan rubbed her head and said, "You were the one who was in a coma for three days. Why are you asking me about it?"

"I slept for three days?!" she was shocked.

"No." He paused, feeling that he had strayed from the topic, "I remember you vomited blood and fainted."

"Isn't this good for me?"

He took his hand back: "Are you hungry?"

Chujiu stared at him hesitantly for a moment, then nodded.

Of course I'm hungry after sleeping for three days.

Following Mo Xinglan's instructions, the food was brought in soon.

After three days of coma, the body has gradually recovered.

He got out of bed and put on his shoes in no time.

Mo Xinglan also slowly moved to the edge of the bed and sat down. Just as he was about to bend down to get his shoes, he was stopped by a hand on his shoulder.

Chujiu smiled at him and said, "Xingxing is sitting."

"..."

After hearing what she said, he did nothing else.

Her long eyelashes drooped gently and her lips were tightly pursed, not knowing what she was thinking.

Chujiu put on his shoes and helped him to the table.

Most of the time, Chujiu was eating while Mo Xinglan was watching, occasionally adding more food to her dishes, just because he really had no appetite.

Halfway through the meal, Chujiu finally realized that he had hardly moved his chopsticks, so he stopped eating.

She moved her chair closer to him and asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Is the food not to your liking?"

He pursed his lips and chuckled: "Eat yours."

Then he picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it in her bowl: "Eat your food well and don't worry about me."

"..." Her worry remained unabated.

How could she not be worried about him? He looked much more haggard.

"Didn't you get enough rest during the three days I was in a coma?"

That's right, he must be worried when she fell into a coma.

Mo Xinglan smiled helplessly and tapped her forehead gently: "What are you thinking about? I had a good rest."

Even if he didn't want to rest, he would fall asleep.

"But you..." Chujiu pursed his lips and hesitated for a moment, then put down his chopsticks and held his face with his hands, "You look so haggard."

"..."

He was stunned for a moment, then lowered his eyelashes, sighed and pushed her hand away: "Don't worry, I just couldn't hold on after using my spiritual sense to enter your sea of ​​consciousness. Just rest for a few days and you'll be fine."

He didn't want to tell her, but if he didn't tell her, she would always worry. If he told her, she might blame herself again, but she could guess even if he didn't tell her.

Just as he thought, Chujiu thought about this and did blame himself, but he quickly recovered.

It's already like this, blaming yourself won't change anything.

She looked at the dishes on the table, picked up a piece of soft tofu and put it in his bowl, raised her eyes and smiled at him: "Xingxing, I'll give you some tofu."

Mo Xinglan's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he looked at her deeply, then lowered his eyes to look at the piece of tofu in the bowl. He picked up the tofu with chopsticks and ate it slowly.

She propped up her chin and tilted her head to look at him, with a playful smile in her eyes: "Tofu... is it delicious?"

"...Yeah." He pursed his lips and chuckled.

After getting his answer, the smile on Chujiu's lips gradually became more meaningful.

With a look of anticipation, she looked at him eagerly: "I want to eat too."

After saying that, she blinked at him twice.

Mo Xinglan had a faint smile on his face and picked up a piece of tofu with chopsticks for her.

The ninth day of the lunar month: "..."

Looking at the tofu in the bowl, the smile on her face froze. She pouted, picked up the tofu with chopsticks, put it in her mouth, and bit it into pieces.

This guy knew exactly what she meant, yet he acted like he understood nothing.

She hummed softly and buried her head in her meal.

Mo Xinglan felt helpless when he saw her angry look.

He sighed and patted her head: "Eat your meal obediently."

“I want to eat tofu.”

She lowered her head and muttered while eating.

Hearing this, Mo Xinglan picked up a piece of tofu for her.

"..."

She glared at the tofu that had just fallen, then put it into her mouth and ate it mixed with rice.

Lunch was spent with one feeding the baby while the other ate the food.

After dinner, he helped Mo Xinglan back to bed.

After helping him lie down slowly, he took off his shoes and climbed up.

She moved her hands and feet around his body and stared at him eagerly.

“I want to eat tofu.”

Mo Xinglan's eyelashes trembled, and he sighed, raised his hand and gently held her face: "Be good, don't make trouble."

Chujiu pursed his lips, lowered his head and replied reluctantly: "...Okay."

After saying that, he moved away.

Pull the quilt over him gently.

……

Chujiu stayed by Mo Xinglan's side during the rest days. Xiao Xiao knew that she would come to Mo's house from time to time to chat and play with her, which often made Mo Xinglan look cold.

Xiao Xiao knew the situation so he knew his limits even when joking so as not to really anger Mo Xinglan.

Although Xiao Xiao has not officially married into the Chu family, she is playful and unrestrained by nature. And there are Chu Wenxuan and Chu Jiu here, so she has been staying at the Chu family for some time. But in recent days, she has been at the Mo family.

"Xiaojiu, don't you feel bored staying here all the time and not going out for a walk?" Xiao Xiao slumped in the chair, looking at the roof, bored.

Chujiu glanced at Mo Xinglan, then looked at her: "It's okay, it's not too boring."

Xiao Xiao sat up straight and pursed his lips in disbelief: "Is this true? This is not like you."

"Really? I think it's fine, and there's nothing fun to do outside anyway."

Chujiu imitated Mo Xinglan's actions and picked among the herbs on the table.

Xiao Xiao turned his head to look at her, then looked at Mo Xinglan beside her, and couldn't help but complain: "I find that you are becoming more and more like one person."

Chujiu paused and looked at her in astonishment: "Didn't I look like a human being before?"

Mo Xinglan stood aside, pursed his lips and smiled softly.

Xiao Xiao raised his hand and waved at her unhappily: "Go away, go away, I mean that your words and actions are becoming more and more like that of another person."

"Oh! You scared me. I thought I wasn't a human being in your eyes before." She patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he asked excitedly: "Who do you think I look like now?"

Xiao Xiao was speechless at her asking questions that seemed to know the answer but were even a bit ostentatious.

He rolled his eyes at her and looked at Mo Xinglan beside her: "Someone annoying."

The ninth day of the lunar month: "..."

Ah this...

She naturally knew who Xiao Xiao was talking about.

Mo Xinglan chuckled: "Someone is really annoying."

"Tsk!" Xiao Xiao said disdainfully.

The ninth day of the lunar month: "..."

She should just shut up. Not speaking is the best option at this moment.

The three of them were silent for a while. Xiao Xiao couldn't stand it anymore, so he looked at Chujiu and returned to the previous topic.

"By the way, Xiaojiu, are you really not going to go out for a walk?"

Chujiu looked at Mo Xinglan and remained silent.

In fact, she didn't feel bored when she was with Mo Xinglan. When she was lazy, she would stare at him stupidly or play with his hair, and time passed quickly. But she had to admit that she really wanted to go out for a walk and buy some food and fun things on the street. Especially the candied haws that Xingxing liked to eat.

If possible, she still wanted to go shopping with him, but he was not fully recovered yet and would get tired after walking for a while, so she did not suggest going out to play.

"Want to go out?"

When Mo Xinglan raised his eyes, he saw her with her head down, distracted and looking unhappy, so he guessed what she was thinking.

Chujiu paused, looked up in surprise, then quickly lowered his head to continue picking, pursed his lips and said, "It's okay, I don't really want to go out."

Xiao Xiao sat aside with a look of disbelief on his face.

Given her understanding of her, how could she not know what she was thinking?

Mo Xinglan sighed softly and put down the herbs in his hand: "Go."

"?!"

Chujiu stared at him in disbelief, seriously wondering if there was something wrong with his ears.

He opened his mouth and said uncertainly: "Where to go?"

"Go wherever you want to go." After a pause, he said, "Don't play too late, just come back early."

"Really? Really?" She was still confused as to why his attitude suddenly changed so much.

"Ah."

Mo Xinglan continued to pick, "I will also need to take a break in a while, you can take this opportunity to go out for a walk."

After he finished speaking, Chujiu hesitated for a moment: "Then I will wait until you have rested before going out."

Mo Xinglan raised his eyes to look at her, shook his head and said, "No, you can come back earlier if you go out earlier."

In her eyes, was he so fragile that he even needed to be watched over when he slept?

Chujiu hesitated for a while, and seeing that Mo Xinglan didn't seem to be teasing her, she tentatively said, "Then... I'm leaving."

"Ah."

“Really?”

"Ah."

"..."

After hesitating for a moment, he turned and looked at Xiao Xiao.
