Bai Yichen was drowsy for several days after the operation. He didn't know that during his drowsiness, a little boy came to the hospital more than once to see him, but was always dismissed by Xu Jiangzhe, who looked impatient. He also didn't know that while he was drowsy, a couple had completed all the procedures for his guardianship at lightning speed. In fact, the couple originally wanted to go through the real adoption procedures, but Bai Ziqian was already twelve years old, and if he wanted to adopt him, he had to agree to it. Just in case, they changed to the guardianship procedures that did not require the consent of minors.
So Bai Yichen was only in a coma for a few days, but he had a new guardian. When he woke up completely, he saw Xu Jiangzhe with a face full of surprise.
"Ziqian, are you awake? Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?"
Bai Yichen nodded slowly, watched the other party run out the door, gently closed his eyes, and began to absorb the background information of this world.
The white moonlight he possessed in this world was named Bai Ziqian, twelve years old. Bai Ziqian's parents started from scratch and opened a company with friends. Their performance was booming. The friends who partnered with Bai Ziqian's parents were the parents of Xu Jiangzhe, the protagonist of this world. Bai Ziqian and Xu Jiangzhe grew up together and had a very good relationship. However, when everything was going in the right direction, the family encountered a major chain car accident during a trip due to dense fog. The casualties in the car accident were very serious, and almost all the people in the car accident were killed. Only a little boy was protected very well by his mother and escaped. This little boy was Fang Ruoming, the protagonist of this world.
After learning of Bai Ziqian's death, Xu Jiangzhe was devastated. He almost lost his appetite and became gloomy and unwilling to talk to others. Xu Jiangzhe's parents had no choice but to find him a playmate to improve his situation. They thought about adopting a child, and then they set their eyes on Fang Ruoming, who came from a single-parent family and lost his mother in a car accident.
At this point, the protagonist and the bottom came together.
However, the situation at the beginning was not as optimistic as Xu Jiangzhe's parents thought. When Xu Jiangzhe first knew that Fang Ruoming was the only person who survived the car accident, he became very extreme and even asked Fang Ruoming why it was not him who died.
But Fang Ruoming was grateful for the adoption by Xu Jiangzhe's parents, and always followed Xu Jiangzhe. No matter what unfair treatment he encountered, he never left. He was also very good at his studies. After graduation, he joined the company and became Xu Jiangzhe's right-hand man. After more than 20 years of companionship, the two finally got together.
After receiving the background of this world, Bai Yichen closed his eyes. Fang Ruoming was protected very well by his mother and escaped... It turned out that the little boy was Fang Ruoming, the protagonist of this world.
Just as Bai Yichen was lost in thought, the door of the ward was slammed open again, and then Xu Jiangzhe, who had just left, came back running with sweat all over his face, holding a package of warm and nourishing porridge in his hand.
Bai Yichen drank the porridge under Xu Jiangzhe's attentive action. After he finished drinking, he finally had the mood to care more about himself. The first thing he cared about was, "What's wrong with my legs? Why can't I move?"
When Xu Jiangzhe heard this question, he paused. He looked at the person on the hospital bed with an attitude of wanting to say something but hesitated, as if he was struggling over whether he should tell the cruel truth.
Bai Yichen had lived for so many years, and when he saw Xu Jiangzhe's expression, his heart couldn't help but sink, and he already had an ominous premonition.
Sure enough, under Bai Yichen's gaze, Xu Jiangzhe finally stammered and told the cruel fact that his legs would never be able to move.
After hearing this result, Bai Yichen himself didn't know what he felt. Finally, he used his utmost calmness to ask Xu Jiangzhe for his medical examination report. After reading the report, he fell silent again.
Until he heard an expectant voice saying, "Zi Qian."
"Hmm?" Bai Yichen looked up.
Xu Jiangzhe clenched his hands, seeming a little nervous. He stared closely at the pale but delicate face of the person on the bed and said, "Ziqian, don't worry. I will always take care of you in the future."
Bai Yichen paused and didn't speak immediately. In fact, he was not unfamiliar with Xu Jiangzhe's voice. Although he was drowsy these days, he could occasionally hear some voices in his ears. The voice he heard the most was Xu Jiangzhe's voice.
He could tell that the other person really cared about him, and the concern in his words was genuine.
At this moment, the door was pushed open again, and a couple walked in. When they saw the person waking up on the bed, a flash of surprise flashed across their faces, but soon turned into surprise and concern. They walked over hurriedly, "Ziqian, you're awake, how do you feel? Let auntie take a look."
Bai Yichen let the women surround him and ask him about his well-being, as if they cared about him very much. Although the man next to him stood there and didn't say much, the look he gave him was extremely kind and gentle.
Bai Yichen quickly called up the information of these two people in his mind. Xu Jiangzhe's parents, Xu Weihai and Liu Ling, were also good friends and partners of his deceased parents in this life.
Bai Ziqian should be very familiar with this couple, so Bai Yichen just lowered his head and listened to their earnest advice, until he heard one sentence, "Ziqian, although your parents are gone, you don't have to worry. Uncle and aunt have been your parents' friends for so many years, and they will definitely not ignore you. Your legs are like this now. From now on, uncle and aunt are your parents, and Jiang Zhe is your brother. Our family will take care of you for the rest of your life."
When Bai Yichen heard these decisive words, he couldn't help but look up, and then saw three faces full of expectation.
Xu Weihai seemed to be a little emotional because of his sensational words, and then he said: "Ziqian, you have no other relatives besides your parents, so your uncle has applied to become your guardian. Don't worry, we will take care of you for the rest of your life."
Already a guardian... Bai Yichen paused, savoring the meaning of these words and this excessive enthusiasm, but he couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart. Because according to the information he received, this couple is not a warm-hearted person, and they are even a bit selfish. They adopted the protagonist Fang Ruoming just to let their son get out of the shadow, purely for use. After raising Fang Ruoming for more than ten years, they didn't develop any family affection. After learning about the relationship between Fang Ruoming and their son, they even ruthlessly attacked him. Would such people completely change their attitude just because he is the orphan of a friend
And from what he said, he is now his guardian. During the few days he was comatose, all the formalities had been completed before he woke up. Wasn't all this a little too hasty
However, just as Bai Yichen was thinking carefully, the man named Xu Weihai suddenly changed his tone and spoke in a low and sad voice, "Ziqian, we have been preparing for your parents' funeral. We will go and hold it as soon as you recover a little. Don't worry, your aunt and I will definitely help you hold the funeral properly."
When Bai Yichen heard this, his mind, which was originally thinking carefully, paused for a moment, and then he nodded gently.
Well, in his current physical condition, he couldn't even take care of himself, let alone worry about other things. It was rare for someone to take care of the funeral of his parents in this life. He should wait until his parents in this body were buried safely before considering other things.
Not to mention that Xu Weihai and his wife looked so confident, as if all the formalities had been completed extremely completely. Even if he wanted to remove the guardianship, there was no rush.
…
…
A few days later, Bai Yichen was discharged from the hospital to attend the funeral of his parents in this life. Everything was just as Xu Jiangzhe's parents said, it was handled properly and decently, and there was nothing for him to worry about.
After Bai Yichen saw with his own eyes that everything went smoothly at the funeral of his parents in this life, he felt relieved. Although they were not destined to be together, he occupied their son's body after all, so he also wanted them to go in peace.
At the same time, Bai Yichen saw that Xu Weihai and his wife had been busy with the funeral arrangements these days, and he knew that they had really done their best, so he had been very cooperative afterwards. After all, no matter what their purpose was, he really had to accept their favor for the funeral of his parents in this life. Otherwise, as he couldn't even take care of himself now, it would be almost impossible for him to hold a decent funeral for his parents in this body.
At the same time, after going through the funeral and meeting some people, Bai Yichen also had a vague guess as to why Xu Weihai and his wife were so eager to become his guardians and why their attitude was so attentive. Many people came to the funeral. In addition to the friends and business people of this body's parents, there were also many employees of the company founded by this body's parents and Xu Weihai and his wife. Of course, most of those who came were senior managers who owned original shares.
Some of them looked at him with complicated expressions, some looked at Xu Weihai and his wife with indignation, but when facing them, Xu Weihai and his wife smiled at him more kindly, as if they loved him very much.
Bai Yichen suddenly understood that although his parents in this life had passed away, the wealth and property they left behind might be considerable. It was no wonder that this couple, who should be extremely selfish by nature, were so attentive to him.
…
Putting aside the many thoughts in Bai Yichen and everyone else's minds, the person with the simplest mind here should be Xu Jiangzhe. In fact, after knowing that his father really became Ziqian's guardian, Xu Jiangzhe was so happy that he almost went crazy, because this meant that Ziqian would live with him in the future and he could see him anytime and anywhere every day.
He didn't care that Bai Yichen would have to stay in the hospital for a while to recuperate after attending the funeral, and he rushed home to arrange a room for Bai Yichen. After much selection, he finally chose Bai Yichen's room next to his own. Both rooms had a large terrace, and were connected side by side. He could jump from one terrace to another with a slight push of his hand.
Seeing their son's excitement, Mr. and Mrs. Xu Weihai smiled and did not stop him. Instead, they helped to decorate the room. In the end, the supplies in this room were no worse than those in Xu Jiangzhe's room.
After all, everything has just begun, and there are so many eyes watching them in the company. They can't let anyone get hold of any evidence.
No matter what Mr. and Mrs. Xu Weihai's intentions were, Bai Yichen naturally felt very comfortable living in such a house. In addition, Xu Jiangzhe followed him around, fearing that he might be unhappy in some way. Mr. and Mrs. Xu Weihai were also very kind and amiable in front of him, which even occasionally made him have the illusion that maybe this life was not so bad.
Of course, maybe it's just maybe, and the illusion is just an illusion. In this life, just because of his pair of legs, he is destined to have a bad life.
He had just woken up a few days ago, and the aftereffects of the operation had not yet passed. He had too much information to accept, and then there was the funeral of his parents in this life. He was so busy that he had no time to take care of other things. But now that life has settled down, even though he has an extraordinary ability to accept things, he still can't easily adapt to the fact that he has become a paralyzed patient.
He has no sensation from the waist down, and can hardly take care of himself. Even going to the toilet is difficult for him and he needs help from others. He has never imagined this kind of life before.
Not to mention that he is no longer a teenager. He has richer experience and more mature thinking than ordinary people, which makes it even more difficult for him to speak up at times. Before, when he was in the hospital, he could bear the shame and ask for help, but that was in the special environment of the hospital, and there were professional nurses in the hospital who could force himself to ignore these things. After all, there were many people in his situation in the hospital.
But now that he was back to his normal residence, in someone else's home, that sense of shame immediately intensified several times, not to mention that when Mr. and Mrs. Xu Weihai learned that he had recovered well after the operation and no longer needed special care, and that they had a nanny and servants at home, they simply did not hire a nurse. They asked the servants to help him clean and go to the toilet.
These unprofessional people, and the expressions they occasionally revealed, naturally made Bai Yichen feel doubly uncomfortable, so when Xu Jiangzhe came to play with him one day, he brought up the matter. Since the parents of this body left a large inheritance, there was no need for him to humble himself.
"Find a nurse?" Xu Jiangzhe was surprised for a moment after hearing Bai Yichen's words, and then he immediately thought of something, and his face changed, "Why, are they not doing a good job?"
Xu Jiangzhe said this in a somewhat gloomy tone, and Bai Yichen had no doubt that if he said yes, then those people who had taken care of him would be in trouble.
Bai Yichen shook his head. After all, those people were just unprofessional and did not treat him harshly.
Xu Jiangzhe made sure again and again that no one was bullying him before he told his parents about Bai Yichen's request.
Bai Yichen had just been granted custody by Xu Weihai and his wife, and there were many eyes watching them. Moreover, gaining custody did not mean that they had obtained the property. Some things would be much easier with Bai Ziqian's cooperation. So when he heard that it was just a small matter like finding a caregiver, there was naturally nothing he could refuse. The couple quickly ordered someone to go find one.
However, finding a caregiver and getting him to work is not something that can be done on the same day, so the servants of the Xu family still helped Bai Yichen clean and do other chores that day.
Xu Jiangzhe didn't know if it was because Bai Yichen mentioned wanting to find a caregiver, and he was afraid that someone had done something to him, but he couldn't say it out loud. So, he used to leave politely when encountering such things, but today he was unwilling to leave and insisted on staying by the side and watching.
Bai Yichen actually didn't want an extra pair of eyes to stare at his embarrassing appearance, but Xu Jiangzhe was stubborn for some reason and refused to leave no matter how much he was persuaded. All the servants of the Xu family were paid by the Xu family, so it was naturally impossible for them to drive their young master away. So Bai Yichen had no choice but to close his eyes, trying his best to ignore Xu Jiangzhe's existence, and let him undress him and wash him every day.
The silk nightgown was untied bit by bit, revealing the snow-white skin underneath. The soft towel was rinsed and wrung out, and then held by a pair of big hands, gently wiping from the neck down, across the chest, around the waist... Because Xu Jiangzhe was watching him, the servant was more careful than usual. He didn't wipe hard, but it might be the temperature of the towel, or it might be that the skin was too delicate, and there were still light pink marks left on the wiped areas.
Bai Yichen had been helped by the servant to turn over and lie face down on the bed, so he did not notice that Xu Jiangzhe's eyes were no longer fixed on the servant's movements, but were rather dazed, staring at every inch of his exposed skin.
It has to be said that Bai Yichen's skin this time was really as white as snow and frost. Even though the servant had tried to be as gentle as possible, there would always be a little pink left on the places where the soft towel had wiped. He could only be forced to be even gentler, for fear that he would be caught by the young master who was watching from the side.
After wiping the upper body, the honest-looking servant breathed a sigh of relief. He helped the person on the bed turn over, then lifted the quilt and removed the clothes there.
Bai Yichen was completely unconscious from the waist down, so he couldn't even do the simplest movement of lifting his legs. The servants wanted to help him wipe his legs, but they could only grab his knee with one hand, lift that leg up, and then use the other hand to wipe it with a towel.
Bai Yichen lay on his back on the bed, his head slightly tilted, not looking in the direction of the two people. He knew what a useless person he was now, and when he thought about this kind of life, where he needed help from others to do everything and had no privacy at all for more than ten years, he couldn't help feeling annoyed.
While Bai Yichen was feeling upset over his broken body, Xu Jiangzhe was looking at the scene in front of him, his heart beating like a drum. At the same time, an inexplicable heat filled his body without him knowing when. However, he was staring at it, not wanting to blink, and at the same time, he felt that the scene in front of him was a bit dazzling, especially the rough, dark hands pinching the thin white legs... It was as if someone had taken something that should have belonged to him without permission.
No, it shouldn't be like this...
Xu Jiangzhe stared at the annoying dark hand, as if driven by some inexplicable idea. He walked to the bedside without knowing when, grabbed the dark wrist with one hand, and covered the smooth and slender calf with the other hand.
The servant who was wiping diligently was suddenly interrupted. He had no idea how Xu Jiangzhe came over. He looked at his young master at a loss, "Young Master?"
Bai Yichen was completely unconscious from the waist down. Not only could he not move, but even his sense of touch and temperature were not very sensitive. So he felt something was wrong when he heard what the servant said. He turned around and saw Xu Jiangzhe had walked up to him at some point, with one hand on his leg.
Being stared at by two pairs of eyes, Xu Jiangzhe suddenly realized what he had done. However, he was reluctant to let go of the smooth touch in his hand. In the end, he chose to follow his inner thoughts and said to the servant, "Let me do it."
"This..." The honest servant opened his eyes wide in astonishment, subconsciously thinking that maybe he had done something wrong just now
However, Xu Jiangzhe had no intention of explaining. Instead, he stood beside the bed, pushed the servant away, picked up the towel and started to wipe Bai Yichen.
The servant felt a little helpless after his job was taken away by his own young master, but he didn't think much about it.
Bai Yichen looked at Xu Jiangzhe's still somewhat childish face, and slowly frowned in his heart.
