Fang Yusheng and the rest heard these words and their lips twitched.

He was even lonely!

Fang Zicheng really could not stand it anymore. In order to make his brother shut up, he had no choice but to use his trump card. “My wound hurts.”

Fang Zikai fell silent.

His brother said that his wound was painful. At the thought that his brother was injured because he was playful, Fang Zikai was too embarrassed to continue talking. “I’m sorry.” After he apologized, he suddenly shut his mouth and let go of his brother. He retreated and only looked at him from afar.

The ward instantly fell silent.

Qiao Jiusheng carried Fang Taoran from Lisa’s arms. She hugged her sister vertically and let her back lean on her chest. Qiao Jiusheng dragged her sister’s butt with one hand and wrapped her other hand around her sister’s chest. This made it easier for Fang Taoran to size up her brother.

The baby changed drastically every day. Fang Taoran, who was more than three months old, had big, black eyes that were filled with vigor like two black grapes. Her skin was especially fair, the pinkish white. She was very good-looking, and her cheeks were chubby.

Fang Taoran stared at this big brother and smiled until her eyes curved.

Seeing his sister suddenly smile at him, Fang Zicheng was stunned for a moment before smiling faintly at her. Seeing his brother smile, Fang Taoran started to smile again. Fang Zikai watched from the side and felt a little jealous.

He stood up from behind Qiao Jiusheng and stood beside Fang Taoran.

Fang Zikai also smiled at Fang Zicheng. His smile was sly. Fang Zicheng glanced at his brother, chose to ignore him, and looked at his sister.

Fang Zikai was instantly unhappy. “Look at me. Why are you always staring at Ran Ran?” Fang Zikai quickly declared, “I know how to smile too. Brother, I’ll smile for you.”

Fang Zicheng quickly shifted his gaze away from his sister, afraid that his brother would be jealous and smile at him for a long time.

Qiao Jiusheng picked up Fang Taoran’s right hand and placed it on Fang Zicheng’s face.

Fang Zicheng did not dare to move anymore, as if he was afraid of disturbing his sister.

Qiao Jiusheng said to Fang Taoran, “Ran Ran, tell Brother to rest well and cooperate with the doctor’s treatment. Try to be discharged as soon as possible and play with Ran Ran and Little Brother when you get home, okay?”

Fang Taoran could not understand what Qiao Jiusheng was muttering about. She stopped laughing and opened her eyes to look at Fang Zicheng, her legs glaring wildly.

Qiao Jiusheng said these words because she wanted Fang Zicheng to say them.

Fang Zicheng’s gaze landed on Qiao Jiusheng’s face.

In just a few days, Qiao Jiusheng seemed to have lost some weight. She, who used to clamor about losing weight, had really successfully lost weight these few days. Fang Zicheng nodded and said to Qiao Jiusheng, “I will, Mom.”

Qiao Jiusheng’s heart skipped a beat.

She felt extremely relieved and happy to hear Fang Zicheng call her mother again. Qiao Jiusheng bent down and placed her head on Fang Zicheng’s face. She said softly, “Cheng Cheng, you’re back. It’s great.”

Fang Zicheng was still not used to hearing his mother call him Cheng Cheng. His mother always liked to call him Iron Egg. Suddenly, she became serious and emotional. Fang Zicheng felt uncomfortable everywhere.

Fang Zicheng heard Qiao Jiusheng crying.

His expression was calm, and he could not feel his mother’s emotions.

Fang Yusheng also walked over and held Fang Zicheng’s hand. He said, “I’m sorry, Cheng Cheng. Dad was useless and caused you to be injured.”

Fang Zicheng shook his head.

After thinking about it, he said, “It’s not your fault.” He had never blamed Qiao Jiusheng and Fang Yusheng. He was already prepared to die and was lucky to be saved. Fang Zicheng would not blame anyone.

On the contrary, he was grateful.

When Qiao Jiusheng stood up and Fang Yusheng hugged her waist, the group of people in the house calmed down. Fang Zicheng then said, “In the past, I always felt that there was no point in living.”

He really felt that way.

He could not understand feelings. Living was like nothing to him. Just like how people had to drink water every day, orange juice became a seasoning. Nothing would happen if you drank orange juice.

To Fang Zicheng, living was the cup of orange juice. It could be there or not.

However, when he was really about to die, the face of his family flashed across Fang Zicheng’s mind. He did not understand that it was reluctance and love. He just did not want to die. At the thought that if he died, he would never see his family again, and his family would become depressed because of his death, Fang Zicheng urgently wanted to live.

Live on and watch your parents grow old happily every day.

She lived and watched the annoying Fang Zikai grow up crying.

He would live on and grow up with his cute little sister. When she got a boyfriend in the future, he would be there for her.

He still had so many things he could do. He had to live. Only by living could he see his family happy and watch his sister grow up. Fang Zicheng said again, “But from now on, every day, I will live with a grateful heart. In the future, I will never treat living as a casual thing again. Living is a very sacred and precious thing. I will cherish every day I live and cherish everyone around me.”

It was not surprising for an adult to say this. However, everyone was shocked to hear such an infectious sentence from a four-year-old child.

Fang Yusheng looked at Fang Zicheng and suddenly smiled.

“Okay! That’s it!” He was proud of him.

Fang Zicheng saw the joy in his family’s eyes and thought: Oh, so it’s also something that makes his family happy that he’s willing to live well. Then he has to live well in the future.

…

Fang Ping and Liu Yu left China half a month later.

On the day he left, he did not disturb anyone. The family of three brought their luggage and passports and quietly went to the airport. On the way to the airport, Fang Pingjun stared at the scenery outside the window with teary eyes. The things that had once seemed calm to him were now extremely cute and intimate.

At the thought that he was about to leave his hometown and could never return, Fang Pingjun felt troubled. For a moment, he actually wanted to cry. Liu Yu and Fang Yupei did not comfort him because they were also feeling terrible.

When they lived in this country and on this soil, they were always complaining about all kinds of bad things in this country. They scolded the country for being corrupt, the people for being rude, and the food for being unhealthy.

However, they felt reluctant to leave when they were really far away from this yellow soil.

The feeling of parting lingered in their hearts.

The car was very quiet. No one spoke.

They arrived at the airport. When they entered the terminal, Fang Pingjun suddenly said, “Take a photo!”

Liu Yu and Fang Yupei stopped in their tracks at the same time.

The three of them turned around and stared at the sky above Binjiang City. Due to the air pollution, the sky could not be found with blue sky and white clouds. It looked gray. Liu Yu nodded with tears in her eyes and said, “Okay.”
