Su Qian took a hot bath, but still couldn't escape the law of rain and caught a severe cold.
When she walked out of the bathroom, she felt dizzy and her nose was stuffy.
As soon as I changed into clean clothes, there was a knock on the door outside.
She walked out of the bathroom and said, "Come in."
Gong Chen walked in with ginger soup.
"Qianqian, did you go out to find Chenxi last night?"
"Um."
Because she had a cold, she spoke with a nasal voice.
Gong Chen brought the ginger soup to her and said with a worried look: "I told you last night that the police are already looking for Chen Xi. I have also contacted many people and they will help search. You only need to
Waiting for news here."
"Waiting for the news, then how long should I wait?"
Her words left Gong Chen speechless.
"Qianqian, Chenxi will be fine. Don't let your body collapse before you find Chenxi."
"I know."
Although she was heartbroken, she was still rational.
Before finding Chenxi, she had to take care of herself.
"I feel cold just listening to your voice. Drink this ginger soup quickly to get rid of the cold."
She took the ginger soup and drank it.
After drinking, she put the bowl on the table and looked out the window blankly.
"It's been all night, and there's still no news about Chen Xi. Gong Chen, tell me, where will Chen Xi go?"
"I don't know, but Chenxi is smart and Jiren has her own destiny. Maybe she just doesn't want to leave the imperial capital and is looking for a place to hide."
"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have ignored her feelings. Otherwise, she wouldn't have disappeared."
"It's not your fault, you did it for Chen Xi's own good."
Gong Chen looked at her half-dried long hair and asked tentatively: "Qianqian, did you go to find Chenxi alone last night?"
Su Qian nodded dully.
Gong Chen wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he still didn't say them out.
"You haven't slept all night, so take a rest quickly. If there is any news in the morning, I will notify you immediately."
She nodded dully again, as if she were a machine that had lost its soul.
Gong Chen glanced at her and then left the room.
She was lying on the dressing table, staring at her haggard self in the mirror.
She had not slept all night, and she was still sleepless, with only the image of her daughter in her mind.
"Chenxi, where are you?"
…
Dining room.
Su Chenyu was sitting alone at the dining table.
He rested his elbows on the table and stared blankly at the sumptuous breakfast. Ten minutes had passed and he still hadn't touched a bite.
Seeing this, the servant hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong, little one? Is breakfast not to your liking? What do you want to eat? Auntie asked the kitchen to make it for you again."
Su Chenyu jumped off the dining chair and waved his hand.
"Auntie, stop working. My sister is not here and I can't eat."
Gong Chen walked into the restaurant and happened to hear his words.
"Chen Yu, it's not okay for a child to skip breakfast. Come here quickly, Uncle Chen will eat with you."
Su Chenyu reluctantly returned to the dining chair.
Gong Chen brought him some food: "Here, these are your favorites, eat more."
Su Chenyu couldn't refuse, so he had to scoop up the food and put it into his mouth.
The food that I usually like to eat tastes like nothing today, and I couldn't swallow it even after chewing it for dozens of times.
He pushed the bowl aside, looked at Gong Chen and said, "I'm sorry, Uncle Chen, I really have no appetite."
Gong Chen put down the bowl and chopsticks and touched his head.
"You're worried about Chen Xi, right?"
"Chen Xi used to have breakfast with me. I don't know where she is now or whether she is hungry."
Gong Chen comforted him: "Don't worry, Chenxi will find you soon."
Su Chenyu looked depressed: "Uncle Chen, don't lie to me. Chen Xi has been missing all day. If he could have been found, he would have been found long ago."
Gong Chen sighed.
"It's all my fault that Uncle Chen is useless. We still haven't found Chen Xi's whereabouts."
Su Chenyu comforted him in turn: "Uncle Chen, don't blame yourself. It's because I didn't take good care of my sister. It has nothing to do with you."
Gong Chen lowered his head and smiled.
"You little guy is quite responsible."
"What's the use of being responsible, if you can't find the morning sun."
Su Chenyu plucked the food in the bowl and said regretfully: "Yesterday, I should have been shameless and followed Chen Xi into the women's bathroom."
"..."
Gong Chen looked ashamed: "Chen Yu, blame yourself, just go into the women's bathroom and forget it."
He moved the food on the plate to Su Chenyu.
"Okay, you'll have enough energy to wait for Chenxi to come back. Eat more quickly. Uncle Chen will go out to inquire about Chenxi in a while."
Su Chenyu did not refuse anymore. Even though he had no appetite, he quickly took a few bites into his mouth.
After breakfast, Gong Chen went out.
Su Chenyu came upstairs alone and quietly opened Mommy's room.
Su Qian was lying on the bed, looking out the window.
Even when he heard the movement at the door, he never turned his eyes.
"Mommy, why don't you sleep?"
Su Chenyu climbed into bed: "I heard from Uncle Chen that you didn't sleep last night."
"Mommy can't sleep." Su Qian opened her eyes wide.
Su Chenyu heard her mother's voice sound nasal and put her hand on her forehead.
"Mommy, you have a fever!"
She said nonchalantly: "Don't worry, it will be fine in a while."
"That's not possible. Mommy is not smart to begin with. Don't burn out your brain again."
Su Chenyu jumped out of bed and ran out.
A few minutes later, he came in with hot water and medicine.
"Mommy, this is a fever-reducing medicine. Drink it quickly and just have a good sleep."
Su Qian looked at her son's serious expression and sat up.
"Thank you, Chen Yu."
"Mommy, you gave birth to me, why are you still polite to me?"
Su Qian smiled and drank the antipyretic medicine.
Like a little adult, Su Chenyu covered her with a quilt and said, "Mommy, go to sleep quickly. You won't feel uncomfortable when you wake up."
Su Qian lay down.
"Mommy can't sleep until the morning sun comes back."
"Mommy, I'm sorry, I lost Chen Xi."
Su Chenyu said in a dejected tone with self-blame in his tone.
Su Qian's heart ached and she quickly held his little hand: "Chen Yu, you didn't lose Chen Xi. You don't have to blame yourself. This is all Mommy's problem. If Mommy hadn't forced her to leave, Chen Xi wouldn't have disappeared at all.
.”
"Mommy, don't say that, I know you are doing it for our own good."
He put his other hand on the back of Mommy's hand: "Don't worry, Mommy, Chen Xi will find it soon."
This was said with complete assurance.
Su Qian didn't pay attention, she just felt that she was comforting herself.
"Chen Yu, please go out. Mommy wants to stay by herself for a while."
Su Chenyu walked out obediently, and the moment he closed the door, he slipped his head into the crack of the door and said, "Mommy, I'm leaving then. You must have a good rest."
If you listen carefully to this sentence, it has a profound meaning.
But Su Qian's mind was filled with her daughter and she didn't care at all.
