Shanshan dreamed that she was floating in the sky, drifting through the white clouds, with the gentle wind gently touching her cheeks, and the pleasant chirping of birds in her ears, everything was so comfortable and pleasant.
She couldn’t help but laugh out loud, shouting loudly at the blue sky and white clouds, “I can fly!”
At this moment, a tender little boy shouted, “Mom, mom, come down and fly with me quickly.”
She looked down and saw a small chubby boy looking up at her enviously, eager to fly with her, waving his arms and shouting for her to come down and fly with him.
She frowned and thought that the boy was too fat to carry, probably causing her to fall too, so she decided to ignore the chubby kid.
But just then, a tall and handsome man appeared next to the little boy. The man’s face was handsome, with outstanding features, and his restrained temperament was particularly attractive. And the key was that the little boy called this man dad.
This made her eyes light up, deciding to come down and take the little boy for a flight. After all, she had to make a good impression, so she swung a long rope from her body and said to the chubby kid, “Come, I’ll take you flying.”
The little boy was overjoyed and immediately climbed up the rope. However, tragically, the little guy was indeed very heavy, and she couldn’t lift him. When the little boy pulled the rope, she couldn’t maintain her balance and fell straight down from the sky, landing directly on the ground. The bones of both arms were cracked, and her head hit the ground, causing severe pain.
Shanshan was awakened by the pain, opening her eyes with a swish.
Yuan Long immediately noticed that she had awakened, rushing over to gently stroke her head, “Baby, are you awake? How do you feel? Does it hurt?”
“Beautiful man?” Shan Shan subconsciously called out.
Yuan Long frowned, his voice tinged with urgency, “Baby, what did you say? Do you know who I am?”
Shan Shan blinked her eyes, finally waking up from confusion, and recognized the person in front of her, “Yuan Long? Husband?”
Yuan Long breathed a sigh of relief, kissing her lips, “Baby, how do you feel now? Does your head hurt?”
Shan Shan finally remembered what had happened before, the car rushing towards her and Dudu, she pushed Dudu away, and then was hit by the car.
At this thought, she immediately shivered, shouting with her hoarse voice, “Where’s Dudu? How is Dudu? Is he okay?”
“He’s fine, he’s fine. Dudu is perfectly fine, don’t worry.” Yuan Long reassured her, pointing to Dudu who was still sleeping soundly beside him, “Look, he’s sleeping soundly.”
Shan Shan looked to the side, confirming that the little guy was okay, before sighing in relief. But as soon as she relaxed, her whole body began to ache, and tears welled up in her eyes as she looked at Yuan Long, “Honey, it hurts so much.”
Yuan Long’s heart was twisted by her words, but he couldn’t alleviate her pain in any way, so he could only hoarsely say in her ear, “I’m sorry, baby, I couldn’t protect you again.”
Shan Shan immediately stopped shouting in pain, blinked her eyes, and laboriously said, “It’s not your fault, it’s the car. By the way, where’s the car? Honey, that person deliberately hit us!”
“Okay, okay, don’t get excited, don’t say so much, I already know. I will handle this matter, you just need to focus on recovering now, okay?” Yuan Long quickly comforted her, using a cotton swab dipped in water to moisten her cracked lips.
Shan Shan finally felt her throat dry as smoke, and said hoarsely, “Honey, I want water.”
“Wait a moment, you can’t drink water now. Let the doctor come and check your condition first.”
Just as he said that, the doctor and two nurses came over to examine Shan Shan’s condition.
The doctor, after examining Shan Shan, said that she was no longer in danger and could be treated and rested properly. The ventilator and monitoring device could be removed.
After the doctor left, Shan Shan realized her current condition, tears streaming down her face as she looked at her arms bound like a mummy, feeling extremely sad, “What kind of life is this! Four years ago, I was hit by a car, broke both legs, lying in bed like a mummy unable to move. Now, I’ve been hit by a car again, and both arms are broken and unable to move. Are both arms complaining that heaven is unfair and need to be broken again? I’m having such a miserable life, none of my limbs are good…”
Yuan Long hurriedly comforted her, “It’s already lucky that only your arms were injured this time. Rest for a few months, and your bones will heal. Don’t worry, just focus on recovering, and everything will be fine soon.”
Shan Shan sniffled, the more she was comforted, the more sad she felt, unable to help but burst into tears, “How can I not worry? Four years ago, because of the car accident, I became a big fat woman. Now that I’ve finally lost weight to my previous weight and regained my beauty, I’ve been hospitalized again! Oh, now I’ll be fat again, all my previous weight loss efforts will be in vain, sob… my life is so miserable…”
“Good, good, don’t cry.” Yuan Long approached her cautiously, embracing her gently and soothing her, “I promise you won’t gain weight this time. I’ve already told the doctor not to give you any hormone-containing medications. If domestic ones don’t work, we’ll use foreign ones. I won’t let you gain weight due to hormones again, okay?”
Shan Shan’s crying immediately subsided, tears welling up in her eyes as she looked at him, ‘really?”
‘really, can I still deceive you?” Yuan Long gently pinched her nose and continued to coax her, “Besides, you didn’t injure your legs this time, so you’ll be able to move soon. You’ll be able to go downstairs for exercise in the future, which will prevent weight gain. After you’re discharged, you’ll still be as beautiful as you are now, like a beautiful princess.”
Hearing this, Shan Shan felt a bit relieved. Yes, this time she wouldn’t have to lie in bed unable to move. She could get out of bed and move around. Plus, without hormone medication, she wouldn’t gain weight like she did four years ago.
So, her beauty could still be maintained!
With this in mind, her sadness gradually dissipated. Thinking of her beauty, she immediately sniffed and said, “Then, bring me a mirror to see how I look now. I remember when I fell on the ground, I didn’t hit my face. My face should still be beautiful…”
She remembered all this… Yuan Long couldn’t help but smile wryly. Even at this time, she was still thinking about her face, always focused on beauty.
There was no mirror in the ward, so Yuan Long took out his phone, opened the camera, and handed it to her, “Your face is fine, just a few scratches from the fall. They’re just superficial wounds, so they’ve been bandaged. They’ll heal in a few days, and you’ll still be as beautiful as ever.”
“Oh my goodness!” Shan Shan was startled when she looked at her face in the camera, her face covered in gauze, with only her eyes, nose, and mouth visible. She couldn’t see her original appearance at all. She looked completely like a mummy.
She couldn’t help but stammer, “Are these really just superficial wounds? Don’t lie to me!”
Yuan Long: “I absolutely won’t lie to you. You can ask the doctor yourself next time.”
Hearing him say that, Shan Shan breathed a sigh of relief. She hadn’t disfigured herself, which was a relief. Thank goodness, her beauty was preserved.
Seeing her feeling relieved, Yuan Long adjusted the bed slightly and poured a glass of water, inserting a straw for her to drink. She couldn’t move, so she could only drink like this.
Just then, Dudu, who was sleeping on the bed next to them, finally woke up. He rubbed his eyes sleepily, took a while to remember where he was, then quickly climbed out of bed and rushed to Shan Shan’s bed. Seeing that his mom was awake, he immediately burst into tears, rushing to her side. Yuan Long quickly stopped him, “Don’t jump on Mommy, Mommy is injured, be careful.”
Dudu stopped, his arms hanging helplessly, looking pitifully at Shanshan, “Mommy! Mommy, you’re finally awake. Mommy, you scared Dudu!”
Just now, Dudu was sleeping with his back to Shanshan, so she hadn’t seen his face. Now, seeing the bruises on his face, she couldn’t swallow the water anymore and said with a frown, “Pangpang, you’re so ugly now. You can’t even be a little handsome boy.” He had a cute face to begin with, but now he had lost it.
Dudu didn’t mind his mom’s words. Even if his mom said he was ugly, he wouldn’t be angry. Mommy was sick, so he had to take care of her. He touched his own face, sniffing, not sure if he was comforting Mommy or himself, “Mommy, the nurse said my face will be fine soon, and I’ll still be handsome when it’s healed!”
She sighed reluctantly, “Well, you have to take your medicine properly these days and keep your wounds dry. Otherwise, Mommy will be disgusted by how ugly you are. Mommy is so beautiful, it’s embarrassing to be seen with an ugly fat boy.”
Dudu nodded seriously, eager to prove himself, “Mommy, I’ll be handsome soon! Everyone says I’m very cute.”
Shanshan rolled her eyes and poked the chubby boy’s fat belly with her only movable toe, “Pangpang, you’re getting too conceited again. Mommy’s getting nauseous from your conceit.”
Dudu laughed heartily when Mommy poked his belly, and the tears on his face disappeared. The little guy returned to his sunny and silly self.
Yuan Long watched them play for a while, his lips slowly curling up.
She always found a way to make the chubby boy happy. With this mother and son, there was joy everywhere.
After playing with the chubby boy for a while, Shanshan waved her hand and said, “Pangpang, you haven’t brushed your teeth or washed your face. You smell bad. Go wash up with Daddy and have breakfast. After eating, bring back something delicious for Mommy to eat.”
Dudu immediately climbed down from the bed and put on his shoes by himself, pulling Yuan Long’s hand to the bathroom to wash up.
After washing up, the father and son went downstairs to buy breakfast and brought it back. Yuan Long set up the table on the hospital bed, and Dudu ate on the side, while he fed Shan Shan with a spoon.
Shan Shan couldn’t move her arms, so she could only open her mouth like a baby bird waiting to be fed. Eating was fine, but whenever she thought about the days to come when she would need help with basic tasks like bathing and using the toilet, she felt ashamed and angry. She didn’t want Yuan Long to help her with the toilet. She still wanted to preserve some dignity…
Unfortunately, Dudu didn’t see his mom’s embarrassment. He just thought his mom looked funny with her mouth open, eagerly waiting to be fed. While Daddy was busy scooping porridge, he also tried to feed Mommy with his small spoon. But he didn’t know how to feed properly, so half of it went into her mouth and the other half dripped onto Shan Shan’s chin and neck, making her all sticky.
Shan Shan glared at him, “Yuan Dudu! I’m going to spank you!”
Dudu put away his spoon, shook his chubby arms, and laughed mischievously, “Mommy, wait until you’re better to spank me. You can’t move your arms now, you know.”
Shanshan thought the chubby boy was getting too confident just because his arms couldn’t move. She immediately turned to Yuan Long and said, “Go, spank him for me!”
Dudu protested, “Mommy, you’re being unfair. Let’s settle this between us, no outside help!”
Seeing the mother and son about to argue in the ward, Yuan Long quickly handed Shanshan a tissue to wipe her chin and neck, putting an end to their battle, “Alright, no more arguing. Let’s eat. Breakfast is getting cold.”
Mother and son obediently resumed eating.
Just then, the door of the ward opened, and Shanshan’s aunt and uncle rushed in, looking worriedly at Shan Shan, “How are you? Are you okay? What did the doctor say?”
Dudu immediately put down his spoon and rushed to her, “Grandaunt!”
She hugged him, looking at the bruises on the little guy’s face, her heart breaking. This mother and son had suffered a lot this time.
After listening to Yuan Long’s explanation about Shan Shan’s condition, Shan Shan’s aunt and uncle were relieved. Holding Dudu, her aunt said, “Your grandfather heard about this and wanted to come over, but we persuaded him not to. He’s too old to be running around in the middle of the night.”
Shan Shan quickly said, “Auntie, please persuade Grandpa not to come. I’m fine here. I’ll call him later. He’s old, and it wouldn’t be good if he fell ill from all the running around.”
“We’ll take care of this matter. You just focus on recovering. Don’t worry about anything else.” She said, and without staying long, she left the hospital with her husband to go to the police station.
She listened to Yuan Long over the phone and knew that this matter wasn’t as simple as a traffic accident. Yuan Long was currently busy taking care of Shan Shan and didn’t have time for other matters, so she came specifically to handle this. They had to catch the culprit as soon as possible. According to the police investigation, the person who hit Shan Shan was indeed Yu Ziqi. She had been following Shan Shan and her son all the way and seized the opportunity to hit them when they were crossing the road. But after hitting them, Yu Ziqi fled the scene, and the police were currently trying to apprehend her.
According to the police, Yu Ziqi had been unilaterally terminated by her economic company, and no other brokerage company was willing to take her on. All her previous activities were canceled, all her roles were replaced, and all her accounts were frozen. Moreover, she owed high-interest loans, which she couldn’t repay due to lack of financial capacity. Now, she was heavily in debt and being chased everywhere by creditors.
The police speculated that because Yu Ziqi had reached a dead end, she was in a state of despair and frustration, which led her to seek revenge against Shanshan.
Listening to the police, Shan Shan was so angry that she felt like she was going to spew blood. What had she done to deserve this?
She didn’t expose her, blacklist her, or chase her for debts. Why did Yu Ziqi come after her? What’s the use? Why should she take revenge?
Is it wrong not to help her former enemy? Just because she didn’t want to take her in, she deserved to be retaliated against?
Is this person crazy!
If this person appears in front of her now, she will definitely tear her apart!
Shan Shan was only angry at Yu Ziqi’s inexplicable revenge against her, but Yuan Long’s thoughts went deeper. Last time, when Yu Ziqi suddenly found them at the military base begging Shanshan for help, he felt that something was wrong. How did Yu Ziqi know the address of their base? Even Shan Shan’s uncle didn’t know the exact address of their base, and there was no such place on the map. So who told her?
And this time, according to the investigation, Yu Ziqi had fallen into dire straits, with all her accounts frozen and no assets. So how did she get that car?
Furthermore, why did she specifically target Shan Shan for revenge? It wasn’t Shan Shan who caused her downfall, so if she wanted revenge, it shouldn’t be Shan Shan’s turn. Could a person really do something so brainless?
What is the reason behind all this? Are there other people behind it?
It seems that they had to find Yu Ziqi to know the truth behind it.
—
That year, Shanshan spent the New Year in the hospital.
To be precise, the first New Year after the reunion of the family of three was spent in the hospital, and all of Shanshan’s previous plans for the New Year were ruined.
Shanshan sighed and grumbled to Yuan Long, “I had planned to have a good New Year, but everything was ruined.”
Yuan Long comforted her by patting her head, “It’s okay. Look, you, Dudu, and I are all here together. As long as the family is together, it’s a reunion, no matter where we are, right? Other families don’t have our colorful life.”
Shan Shan had no choice but to console herself and treat this as an unforgettable experience.
Yuan Long changed Dudu into the new clothes they bought from shopping and put a new outfit on Shan Shan’s patient gown. He also hung two red lanterns in the ward, adding a festive atmosphere to the room.
He also brought back a few dishes from a restaurant outside. The three of them sat around the hospital bed and had a special New Year’s Eve dinner.
After dinner, Yuan Long took out two red envelopes, one for Dudu and one for Shan Shan, and smiled at them, “Here’s your lucky money.”
Both mother and son’s eyes lit up, eager to open the envelopes to see how much money was inside. Unfortunately, Shan Shan was full of good intentions but lacked the ability to execute them. She couldn’t use her hands at all, so she could only watch helplessly as Dudu opened his envelope and counted the red bills inside.
Dudu exclaimed, counting the money in front of Mommy, “One, two, three…” In the end, the little guy who had learned to count from one to a hundred counted eighteen Grandpa Maos.
Dudu grinned and looked at Mommy’s red envelope, itching to open it, “Mommy, Daddy gave me eighteen Grandpa Maos. How many do you have? Should I help you open it?”
Yu Shanshan glared at Yuan Long, meaning: “You actually gave so much to the chubby kid? He’s already so rich, you should give him less! You wasteful man!”
Yuan Long rubbed his nose, pretending not to see.
“Mom will open it herself, I don’t want you to open it!” Yu Shanshan rejected the chubby kid’s eager anticipation, used her toes to scratch her own red envelope, then felt a bit uneasy because based on her foot feeling just now, this red envelope was thin, it definitely didn’t seem like it was filled with a lot of money, at least not more than three bills.
Giving eighteen bills to her son, and only this much for herself? Not even more than her son?
Yu Shanshan was furious, looking at Yuan Long with fiery eyes.
While Mom was glaring at Dad, Dudu quietly reached out and touched Mom’s red envelope, then found that there was no thickness inside. He knew that the thicker it was, the more money there was, so he immediately exclaimed, “Mom, your red envelope isn’t thick at all, not as thick as mine! Dad loves me more, hahaha…”
Yu Shanshan wished she could shut up this gloating chubby kid’s mouth.
These father and son were too much, actually bullying her, a disabled person, together. After all she had been through, shouldn’t they treat her more gently?
Hmph, she wouldn’t bother with them anymore!
Yu Shanshan leaned back, closed her eyes, and decided to ignore the father and son to protest.
