Chapter 727: I Don't Want to See Her Pretending to Be Strong
Song Yin and Li Chenxu reached an agreement, so Li Chenxu took Song Yin upstairs. Gu Yeqi stayed downstairs. Although he was also worried about Mu Xiaoyu, he knew that it was inappropriate for a man like him to visit her while she was still unconscious.
"How long was she unconscious?" Song Yin asked Li Chenxu in a low voice as they went upstairs.
“She woke up once last night, and then passed out again.” More than eight hours have passed since then. Li Chenxu was worried that Mu Xiaoyu’s condition was serious and that she should be sent to the hospital.
However, before Song Yin and the others arrived, the doctor had examined Mu Xiaoyu. Aside from the previous injuries, there wasn't anything seriously wrong; she had simply been too frightened, experienced too much emotional turmoil, and was physically weak. The double blow to her body and mind caused her to faint. Even if she slept for another day, it would be normal.
Song Yin breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Li Chenxu's explanation. She was worried that something might have happened to Xiaoyu. When she received Xiaoyu's message, Xiaoyu had already been back for most of the day. Last night, because it was too late, she thought that Li Chenxu had just found the person and must have a lot of things to deal with, so she didn't come over.
By now, most of the day had passed, and the person still hadn't woken up; she was genuinely worried.
Fortunately, nothing happened.
Li Chenxu led Song Yin to the door of Mu Xiaoyu's room. Seemingly afraid of disturbing Mu Xiaoyu who was sleeping inside, Li Chenxu opened the door very quietly.
If Song Yin hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have believed that someone as strong-willed as Li Chenxu could make such a careful move.
Song Yin's opinion of Li Chenxu changed somewhat, but she didn't say it. When the door was half open, her gaze fell on Mu Xiaoyu, who was still asleep inside.
Chen Lan had hit her too hard before. Even though the doctor had treated the injuries on her face, the bruises were still clearly visible.
Seeing that Mu Xiaoyu, who was still unconscious, looked extremely uneasy, Song Yin felt so sorry for her that she almost cried.
If she's already like this, then what about Li Chenxu, who has to stay by Mu Xiaoyu's side all the time and face these things every moment?
Song Yin couldn't bear to watch any longer, so she quickly closed the door. Forcing a smile, she said to Li Chenxu, "Then I'll go back first and won't disturb you anymore... Please take good care of Xiaoyu; she's suffered too much."
As she spoke, Song Yin began to choke up. Afraid that she would lose control of her emotions if she continued like this, Song Yin didn't say goodbye to Li Chenxu after she finished speaking, and hurriedly went downstairs with her mouth covered.
Gu Yeqi was waiting for Song Yin on the stairs. When he saw Song Yin's discomposure, he immediately understood what was going on.
He held Song Yin in his arms, comforting her silently.
"Let's go back; let's not cause them any more trouble here."
Song Yin stayed in Gu Yeqi's arms for a while, and finally spoke to Gu Yeqi. Gu Yeqi always indulged her, and besides, Song Yin was in a bad mood at the moment, so naturally he did whatever she said.
Mu Xiaoyu woke up shortly after Song Yin and the others left. At that time, Li Chenxu was downstairs communicating with the police and was not with Mu Xiaoyu.
Suddenly, Mu Xiaoyu screamed from upstairs. The moment he heard the sound, Li Chenxu ran upstairs without thinking.
When the door opened, Mu Xiaoyu was curled up on the bed, hugging her thin body and crying.
Upon seeing this, Li Chenxu rushed over and hugged Mu Xiaoyu in his arms.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
"Where did you go? Why weren't you here just now!"
Mu Xiaoyu hugged Li Chenxu tightly, feeling utterly insecure, and cried loudly. She didn't want to be like this, but she simply couldn't control herself.
Li Chenxu felt guilty and sad, but even more so, he felt heartache and self-blame.
He hugged Mu Xiaoyu tightly: "It's my fault, it's all my fault. I promise you, I will never leave you again. Don't cry, okay?"
He kept kissing Mu Xiaoyu's hair, her cheeks, and her lips, trying to soothe her emotions.
Fortunately, this had some effect, and Mu Xiaoyu's emotions gradually stabilized.
She nestled obediently in Li Chenxu's arms, clutching his clothes tightly with one hand. Only when she regained some strength did she look up at him.
With Mu Xiaoyu in such a predicament, how could Li Chenxu possibly be in the mood to tidy himself up?
He hadn't shaved for several days, and now the stubble on his chin was quite noticeable; it felt hard and a bit prickly to the touch.
Mu Xiaoyu used to dislike the stubble that appeared on Li Chenxu's chin when he woke up in the morning, but now, seeing Li Chenxu like this, she only felt heartache and pain.
"Brother Chenxu, don't be sad. I'm not in so much pain anymore. I'll be fine soon."
Mu Xiaoyu spoke in a hoarse voice, feeling terrible both mentally and physically. But she didn't want to see Li Chenxu suffer as well; some things are better experienced alone.
However, the more Mu Xiaoyu acted like this, the more heartbroken he felt.
He gently took Mu Xiaoyu's hand and kissed it, then forced a slightly stiff smile and said to her, "I'm fine. You know, my greatest strength is my strong mental fortitude. I'm alright. And Xiaoyu, I'm your man, the one who loves you the most. If you're feeling sad or scared, the person you should confide in or even vent to is me. You don't need to pretend to be strong in front of me. The stronger you pretend to be, the more heartbroken I become, you know?"
Mu Xiaoyu knew, she knew.
She tilted her head back and kissed Li Chenxu's chin, unable to hold back her tears.
"Brother Chenxu, it really hurts. Chen Lan hit me with a stick. They want me to suffer a fate worse than death."
"It's all in the past. Don't worry, I won't let Chen Lan get away with it. I'll make them pay back double what they owe you."
Li Chenxu spoke these words very calmly, but those who knew him knew that the calmer he was at this moment, the more terrifying he was.
"Are you hungry? I'll have someone bring some food up. After you've eaten, you can go see An'an; I brought him back from the hospital too."
"Really!"
When An'an was mentioned, Mu Xiaoyu's eyes lit up immediately, and her eyes became bright with excitement.
Seeing Mu Xiaoyu like this finally brought a smile to Li Chenxu's face. He gently ruffled Mu Xiaoyu's hair and said, "Really, I brought him back. In just a few days, An'an has grown up a lot. You'll definitely think he's very handsome when you see him."
"Of course our child is good-looking; he was already very good-looking before."
