  Jiao Chen merely smiled as he gazed ahead. The expression in his twinkling eyes seemed to turn deeper, and his smile slowly vanished.

  Xiaojiao was whining from the back, probably because of her uncomfortable position.

  Her voice seemed to tighten the reins around his heart.

  If only we have a future. How wonderful that would be……

  “Jiao, I really hope you would consider this carefully. At least you will still have a three to five percent chance of survival.”


  Jiao Chen’s head was bowed as he stared at his phone. He looked forlorn and somber.

  Su Yue had just finished her shower, and she walked into the room. At that moment, she spotted Jiao Chen looking rather sadly at his phone.

  She hastened her footsteps towards him. “What happened?” asked Su Yue, in a concerned tone.

  “I’m fine.” Jiao Chen shook his head to dispel her worries. He cast his phone aside before collapsing on the bed.

  Su Yue sat down beside him. She was still rubbing her hair with a towel.

  The light scent of her shampoo assailed his nostrils.

  He couldn’t stop himself from playing with a lock of her hair.

  “I’ll go get the hairdryer to dry my hair.” Su Yue suddenly stood up.

  Jiao Chen stood up as well and said, “I’ll help you.”


  He went to the bathroom and brought the hairdryer out.

  Su Yue sat down on the sofa to wait for Jiao Chen.

  Jiao Chen stood beside Su Yue as he gently ruffled her hair. He placed his fingers through her hair and glided them through the strands.

  He took his time to dry her hair properly. His fingers felt warm, yet his touch was so soft.

  Su Yue had no idea what she had been doing this entire day. She was completely drained.

  She rested her head on Jiao Chen’s lap, and she shut her eyes. The whirring sounds of the hairdryer died down a little.

  Jiao Chen adjusted the speed of the hairdryer.

  Everything was peaceful right now. She had no worries or concerns.

  “Su Yue, are you asleep?”


  “Susu……”


  Su Yue thought that she heard Jiao Chen’s voice in her dreams.

  Was it Jiao Chen?

  He was calling her Susu.

  He sounded sad and helpless, but she was too tired.

  She felt something light and soft brushing against her lips swiftly. It felt surreal.

  When she woke up the next morning, it was a bright and warm day. The skies were blue, with fluffy white clouds. She drew the curtains apart. Everything felt peaceful, just like yesterday.

  Su Yue stretched her arms and body. She turned around to the bed.

  Didn’t Jiaojiao dry her hair yesterday?

  Why was she sleeping on the bed then?

  “Mommy.”


  Xiaojiao woke up at that moment.

  The girl had regained her energy and vitality the moment she woke up. She sat upright the moment she opened her eyes.

  “Go brush your teeth. I’ll prepare your breakfast.”


  Su Yue walked over and carried Xiaojiao. Her pajamas were warm enough for her.

  “Mommy, where is Daddy?”


  They were brushing their teeth together when Xiaojiao suddenly thought of Jiao Chen. She turned to Su Yue as she asked her.

  Because of the other children’s influence on her, Xiaojiao insisted that Su Yue had to sleep with Jiao Chen every night.

  So, Jiao Chen had no choice but to wake up earlier every morning so that Xiaojiao could see him the moment she opened her eyes.

  She had assumed that Mommy and Daddy were both sleeping together. And they were a happy family.

  It would have slipped Su Yue’s mind if Xiaojiao didn’t ask.

  That’s right. Why didn’t Jiao Chen came over this morning?
