Can’t Take My Eyes Off You

“The needle is still in your body. Don’t move. If the whole needle is stuck, you’ll cry if I can’t take it out!” Jiang Yao threatened the little boy. Then, she noticed Cheng Jinnian’s blushing face. She was happy to see that.

Was the Little Devil so shy?

Jiang Yao found Cheng Jinnian very interesting.

“Sister, you can hit my arm…” Cheng Jinnian hesitated for a few seconds before he said, “Please don’t hit my butt.”

“I’ll do an infusion then.” When Jiang Yao saw how unhappy Cheng Jinnian was, she changed the method.

If the patient were a normal child, Jiang Yao would still give him an injection. However, even though Cheng Jinnian was five years old, he could think independently and had a strong sense of self-awareness. Cheng Jinnian did not want her to do that, and if she still insisted on doing that, Cheng Jinnian would probably rather be in pain than have her give him an injection.

“Okay.” The five-year-old boy secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Jiang Yao looked at the time and removed the silver needles from Cheng Jinnian’s body. She gave him an infusion. There was an anti-inflammatory, soothing, and calming formula in the medicine for some reason. So, after a while, Cheng Jinnian began to relax and feel a little sleepy. However, he had to fight against his physiological reaction. His eyelids continued to fight, and he stared at Jiang Yao with widened eyes.

“If you’re sleepy, then go to sleep. It’ll be fine once you wake up. From now on, you’re not allowed to eat too much. The food in town isn’t very clean. It’s okay to eat some occasionally, but you can’t eat it often, and you can’t eat so many things at once.” When Jiang Yao raised her hand to wipe the sweat off Cheng Jinnian’s forehead, her voice unconsciously became softer. “Go to sleep.”

Cheng Jinnian nodded and slowly closed his eyes. However, a few seconds later, he suddenly opened his eyes and called out to Jiang Yao. “Sister, do you know what my name means?”

“Are you here to show off your intelligence again?” Jiang Yao smiled. “It means a remembrance.”

“Sister, you remember it?” Cheng Jinnian’s small eyes flashed with surprise as he asked again, “Then, sister, do you know who gave me my name?”

Without waiting for Jiang Yao to answer, Cheng Jinnian answered his own question. “It’s Mom! Mom named me! She said that my name is Xiao Nian. She told me that I have a brother, and I also have an older sister. My name is Xiao Nian. She said she hopes that I will remember my older sister, whom I have never met before. Otherwise, when she dies of old age, no one in that world will remember my older sister, who has only been in the world for a few days.”

Jiang Yao’s heart shook violently.

“Sister, it means that Mom hopes that I will remember you. Sister, I’m sorry. I should have recognized you when I saw you, but I didn’t. I even bullied you! Sister, I’m sorry. Mom loves you very much. I came here to look for you, but Mom didn’t know about this. Father and I hid it from Mom and Brother. Mom didn’t want me to disturb you, but I miss you, Sister. I want us to be together as a family.”

The sick boy was no longer as aggressive as when he was feeling well. He lay there and looked at her quietly, speaking from the bottom of his heart in a childish voice.

Before she could answer, Cheng Jinnian could not hold back his sleepiness under the effects of the drugs.. However, before he closed his eyes again, he said softly, “Thank you, Sister.”
