In reality, it wasn’t that he didn’t sleep well; it was that he simply didn’t dare to sleep.
The moment he closed his eyes, all he saw was her smile and her back as she turned and walked away.
He was so afraid that she would not come back.
Seeing Ye Cheng nod, Mu Yunge didn’t doubt it. After all, he was just a half-grown child. It was hard for him not to cry after suffering such a serious injury.
So, Mu Yunge sat down beside the bed and said, “Then go to sleep now. You can’t do without a good rest.”
Hearing this, Ye Cheng looked at her and nodded, then lay down obediently.
But even so, he still didn’t feel sleepy at all.
After Ye Cheng lay down for a moment, Mu Yunge wanted to get up and go to the bathroom.
But at this moment, Ye Cheng suddenly opened his eyes and asked timidly, “Are you leaving?”
Hearing Ye Cheng’s pitiful words, Mu Yunge turned around and smiled at him, “I’m going to the bathroom, not leaving.”
Only then did Ye Cheng hum, his ears reddening.
A few minutes later, Mu Yunge returned.
Seeing that Ye Cheng was still not asleep, she couldn’t help but say softly, “You still can’t sleep, then I’ll tell you a story.”
Ye Cheng’s eyes lit up slightly, and he hummed softly.
So, Mu Yunge told Ye Cheng a fairy tale about a knight who saved a princess from a dragon.
Although it was a story only children would enjoy, Ye Cheng listened with remarkable concentration.
Gradually, Ye Cheng, who hadn’t slept well in a long time, finally closed his eyes and breathed evenly.
After Ye Cheng fell asleep, Mu Yunge tiptoed out of the hospital.
…
For nearly half a month, Mu Yunge shuttled back and forth between school, the hospital, and home.
Lin Ke’er’s friends hadn’t been able to get together with her several times, so after school on Friday, they cornered her in her seat.
“Ke’er, why haven’t you been out playing lately?”
Hearing this, Mu Yunge smiled faintly and replied, “Someone at home is in the hospital, and I’m going to stay with him. We’ll play again after he’s better.”
With that, Mu Yunge stood up, carrying her schoolbag.
After hearing her words, Zhang Qian and the others quickly stepped aside and looked at each other in bewilderment.
They didn’t hear that Ke’er’s parents were in the hospital, did they?
…
Saturday.
The weather was beautiful today, and after two weeks of recuperation, Ye Cheng’s external injuries had mostly healed. Only his bones needed some more time, so Mu Yunge simply discharged him and took him back to Lin’s house.
Aside from the hospital medication, Ye Cheng didn’t need to bring anything, so after getting out of bed, he simply completed the discharge procedures and left.
Lin’s mother had visited him during his hospitalization, and seeing the sixteen-year-old reduced to a mere bag of bones, she felt deeply distressed.
So, knowing Mu Yunge was coming to pick Ye Cheng up, Lin’s mother specifically instructed the kitchen to prepare some nourishing food.
An hour later, the car drove into the Lin family villa.
Looking at the single-family villa in front of him, Ye Cheng couldn’t help but reveal a trace of uneasiness on his face.
Seeing this, Mu Yunge took his hand and said, “Don’t be afraid. This will be your home in the future. Come with me.”
With that, she led Ye Cheng toward the living room.
Watching her fair, tender fingers gripping her scarred palm, Ye Cheng’s heartbeat quickened.
[Ding! Villain’s love points +5. The current love point is 50.]
During the hospitalization, Ye Cheng almost gave Mu Yunge a little love point every day, so Mu Yunge was not surprised to hear the system report.

The author has something to say:
Ye Cheng: Ahhh, holding hands, holding hands, I won’t wash my hands for three days!
