The Other Side 553

With much difficulty, Yueyao poked her head out from behind the bouquet. She was panting a little, but she insisted on presenting the bouquet to Little Yichen.2

"Big Brother! Welcome back! Muack!"

Little Yichen was extremely touched. He knew that his mommy and daddy would come to welcome him personally, and so would Youyou. However, he did not expect Yueyao to look forward to his return so much. In the past, Yueyao seemed to despise him. For some reason, she wasn't even very close to him.

Usually, when everyone was around, she'd prefer to have Youyou carry her, followed by Yun Shishi and Mu Yazhe… He was the last. However, it was only now that he realized how precious he was to Yueyao.

Little Yichen extended his hands and took the bouquet from her.

Yueyao blinked and smiled. She had a chubby face and eyes like crescent moons. She seemed to have grown taller and slimmed down a little. He wondered if she had suffered much during his absence.

Knowing what Little Yichen was worried about, she quickly explained, "Yueyao and Youyou were among the fifth batch of patients vaccinated. The doctor said that they've actually recovered, but for the sake of safety, they can only leave after they've been vaccinated."

Little Yichen nodded and said, "Indeed. By the time the fifth batch of vaccines arrive, they'll be more or less stable. The doctor said that if Yueyao had been a little older, she could have been vaccinated earlier. Given her age, we can only arrange for her to be among the fifth batch vaccinated. It's safer that way."

"Uh huh." Little Yichen lifted the blanket and made a move to get out of bed.

His mother immediately stopped him. "Little Yichen, the doctor said that you can't get out of bed yet!"

"It's okay, Mommy." The boy smiled at her. Eventually, she relented and silently stepped aside.

The boy rolled off the bed, and found the floor with his feet. He took a deep breath and held on to the bed to steady himself.

It had been a long time since he got out of bed.

Having spent most of his time lying on the bed for such a long period, he felt that his limbs were about to degenerate. Not only that, he had not exercised for a long time and his various functions had deteriorated. He felt sore all over when he moved.

However, the boy ignored his own body. He opened his arms wide and smiled at Yueyao. "Yueyao, good girl. Give Big Brother a hug!"

When Yueyao saw that he had gotten out of bed, she immediately went up to him and called out in a sweet voice, "Big Brother!"

She was so young, so how could she know anything? When she saw her brother summoning her, she immediately pounced on him without hesitation.

It was just that she had thrown herself at him so passionately that the boy, who was rather weak, immediately fell to his knees.

Yueyao was frightened out of her wits and immediately used all her strength to support him. She held his arm and hugged his waist. She looked at her mother as if she was about to cry. "Mommy… what's going on… Big Brother seems to be…"

Little Yichen immediately consoled her. "It's alright… It's just that my legs are a little weak."

Yun Shishi shot Mu Yazhe with a worried look. The man walked over and gave his son a hand.

"Is it because you haven't gotten out of bed for a long time that it's a little strenuous to stand?"

The boy nodded reluctantly. With his father's help, he finally managed to stand up.

Yueyao supported him from the side and placed his hand on her shoulder. "Big Brother, hold on to me. I won't let you fall!"

Little Yichen was greatly amused, but he was also extremely touched.
