The Other Side 489

As soon as he finished speaking, Little Yichen could not help giving him a flick on his forehead. "You have the cheek to call him a child. You're a child too, alright? You make yourself sound so old."1

Youyou glared at him and gave him a flick back. "I'm older than him, okay?!"

"Did you say he's the recipient of Uncle Xingzhe's cornea?"

"Uh huh."

Little Yichen was somehow filled with emotions at once.

"What a small world. I heard too, that Uncle Xingzhe donated his cornea to a child. It seemed the child had a congenital corneal defect."

Initially, the twins were indignant at this rascal who was out to kidnap their little sister. However, when they found out that Jing Yang was the child who had received the superstar's cornea, it was hard to continue being indignant. For some reason, they felt as though Gu Xingze had not gone away. It felt as though he was there.

Through the donation of the cornea, it was as though his life had been extended. And Jing Yang was proof that he still existed.

…

In the afternoon, Jing Yang finally woke up.

Jing Qi sat beside him, but her expression was not as loving as before. Instead, it was surprisingly serious.

"You're awake?"

Jing Yang looked at her. It felt like she was interrogating him and the boy felt a little uneasy. "What's the matter, Mom?"

"Answer me honestly."

"Uh huh…"

"Did you sleep through the night last night?"

"Uh…" Jing Yang had never lied, and he didn't like to lie. However, he couldn't possibly admit that he didn't sleep through the night by his mother's side, even if he didn't tell a lie?

Jing Yang clung to the blanket and covered half of his face with it. "Mmm," he said guiltily.

"Mom doesn't like lying kids."

"Mom, I'm not lying…"

"Well, a nurse told me that she was standing on the balcony in the middle of the night and saw you running around the back garden."

Jing Yang was so scared that he burped.

His cover had been blown!

"And…" Jing Qi grabbed the wet hospital gown that Jing Yang had hidden in the bathroom and asked sternly, "What's going on? Why is this hospital gown so wet?"

Every patient had two sets of hospital gowns to rotate through.

Early in the morning, Jing Qi had planned to wash the hospital gown that Jing Yang had changed out of, but she couldn't find it. Eventually, she discovered it in a corner of the bathroom, as if it had been deliberately hidden.

"I…" Jing Yang felt even more guilty now. He hid almost all of his face under the blanket, revealing only a pair of restless eyes.

A mother knows her son best. Jing Qi understood this child. He must be lying, but why? Also, why didn't he sleep through the night and instead went for a run in the backyard?

"Yangyang, answer me honestly. What did you do last night? Did you catch a cold because you went to the backyard to play last night?"

Jing Yang couldn't hide it anymore, so he nodded silently.

"Why?" Jing Qi was angry. "Why weren't you sleeping obediently beside Mommy?"

"Because…" Jing Yang pouted and said sadly, "I want to be sick. I want to be hospitalized."

"…?" Jing Qi was stunned.

She had thought of countless possible answers, but she did not expect this.

What child wants to be hospitalized, what child likes being sick?

Although Jing Yang wasn't afraid of the hospital, it wasn't as though he liked it either.
