C23 Accompany Me Is That Right

"Come here!"

"It's not convenient for you to paint, right?" She prepared to run. "Why don't I come back later!"

"Don't you want to see what I draw?"

Yao Mengqi had no choice but to walk over. His deep gaze also landed on the drawing board. His gaze was gentle. "It is very beautiful, right?"

The woman in the drawing was her!

The woman in the portrait was sleeping soundly on the bed of lace. The corner of her mouth was slightly raised. It was as if she was having a beautiful dream. Her black and soft hair spread out like seaweed, and a few strands of hair fell messily on her chest. Her neck was long and slender, like a beautiful swan, and her skin was smooth and tender.

Her face was fresh, and her skeleton was slender. She was just lying there quietly, and it was enough to arouse the pity of others. She wanted to protect her in her own world, not allowing her to receive even the slightest bit of harm from the outside world.

"This was drawn by you?"

"Do you like it?"

"I like it! But it's a bit too beautiful, not like me!" She didn't think she was ugly, but she wasn't that beautiful either!

" It really doesn't look like you... " Yeh Lingchen stared at the painting with a bit of infatuation in his eyes. He smiled slightly and said, "It's not enough to fully display your beauty!"

Yao Mengqi blushed in embarrassment. She felt very happy being praised by an angelic man. In his eyes, was she really that beautiful?

"Can you leave this painting for me as a memento?"

"Hmm? Of course! This is what you drew!"

" Can I continue to draw you in the future? I can also turn you into a sculpture."

"If you're not sick of it!" Yao Mengqi stuck out her tongue.

"No, in my eyes, you are very beautiful!" His gaze was firm, which made Yao Mengqi shy. She scratched her head, "Don't look at me like that! It is very easy for me to misunderstand!"

She originally only wanted to tease to lighten the atmosphere, but Yeh Lingchen very naturally followed her words. "This is not a misunderstanding. I just like you very much!"

Yao Mengqi automatically categorized this "like" as a liking between friends, or a child's dependence on family. She only responded carelessly, "I also like you very much!"

"Really?" Yeh Lingchen's eyes sparkled, and the corners of his mouth revealed a happy smile. "Then can you come and see me often in the future?"

"I really want to come, but it doesn't seem convenient!"

"Are you worried about my brother?"

"A little!"

"You can rest assured! My brother loves me. As long as I say it, he won't make things difficult for you! Furthermore, I am different from him. When you're with me, you can be very relaxed. You don't need to feel any pressure at all!"

" Accompany me, okay? "

When an angelic man looks at you with the gaze of a child, it is as if you are his entire world. I believe that no one can refuse, and Yao Mengqi is no exception. Without any hesitation, he nods his head vigorously. "Okay! I promise you!"

From that day onwards, Yao Mengqi came to Yeh Lingchen's room on time to visit him every day. There were very few cases recently, so she could not go to school. It was also very happy to have someone to chat with her.

At first, Nanny Heh was unhappy, but probably because Yeh Lingchen had been smiling more recently, she did not deliberately put on a stern face to her and sometimes even let her send food over.

"It's time for supplements!" Yao Mengqi took an exaggerated breath as soon as she entered the room. "What kind of soup is so fragrant!? I really like it!"

Yeh Lingchen was amused by her, "If you want to drink it then drink it!"

"This is for you to recuperate your body. Even if I want to eat it, I can't eat it either!" Yao Mengqi lifted the lid of the bowl and said as she stirred the cold, "As long as you listen to Nanny Heh and drink more soup, your body will recover very quickly!"

The tip of the brush stopped on the painting. Yeh Lingchen lowered his head to look at his legs and shook his head with a bitter smile. "No matter how I adjust my body, I am still a cripple!"

Yao Mengqi's heart tightened. She quickly smiled and changed the topic. "Let me tell you a joke. Drinking soup while listening to jokes can help digestion!"

"Yes! Okay!"

"A rabbit and a turtle that runs very fast, which one will win?"

"Rabbit!"

"Wrong! It's a turtle!"

"Why?"

"Didn't I say so? It's a turtle that runs very fast!"

As soon as the soup entered his mouth, Yeh Lingchen smiled and spat it all out onto his legs. Yao Mengqi quickly used a towel to wipe his legs, but what she touched were two bony sticks.

Yeh Lingchen hurriedly pushed her away, "No need! I'll do it myself!" He held onto the wheelchair and took a few steps back. He anxiously used the blanket to cover his legs.

"I'm sorry, I didn't do it on purpose."

"It's okay." Yeh Lingchen tried his best to cover up his embarrassment, but there was still pain and inferiority in his eyes.

"Did your muscles atrophy?"

Yeh Lingchen lowered his head in pain. He grabbed his numb leg bone. "I will never stand up again! I am a cripple."

That night, Yao Mengqi tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. She could never forget that cold and withered feeling. The moment she imagined how his legs shriveled up, she could not help but feel goosebumps all over her body. Her heart felt as if it had been clogged up by something.

It was almost dawn. She had made up her mind to help Yeh Lingchen pull himself together again.

If she did not run into him by accident at the beginning, then she would keep a distance from him. However, since the heavens had made them friends, she could not abandon Yeh Lingchen no matter what Yeh Hanxuan would do to her.

The two of them continued to chat as usual, but Yao Mengqi could see that Yeh Lingchen pretended not to care about the matter and deliberately avoided it. The more he acted this way, the more her heart ached. Finally, she could not help but say, "I will push you to the garden for a walk! It's good for your legs to be sunbathing."

Yeh Lingchen froze, and then he shook his head. "No need! I can bask in the sun in my room! Furthermore, my drawing has yet to be completed. "

" You've already drawn for two hours. You need to rest! "

"Next time!"

"How long do you want to escape?"

He lowered his head and did not speak for a long time. He smiled bitterly, and a hoarse and weak voice came from his throat. "What can I do? Can I recover my legs by sunbathing?"

"I know what you mean, but if you continue like this, they will shrink even more." Her heart ached so much that she couldn't continue.

"Just let me live like this. I beg you not to care about me, okay?"

"No! Even if you don't think for yourself, you still have to think for your brother and your family. They all care about you. And I care about you too. " She held his hand tightly, using her firm gaze to convey her faith to him.

"Will you care about me?"

"Yes! I care about you. I do not know what terrible things have happened to you in the past, but suffering is not enough to make you give up on yourself! Leave everything to me."

Yao Mengqi could see that he was very weak and needed people to care about him. But he still pulled his hand back. "You don't understand me. If you get too close to me, you'll regret it. Because I am not an angel, I am a demon. If you stay by my side, you'll get hurt. Perhaps from the start, I should not have begged you to come and see me! I'm too selfish. It's not too late for you to leave!"

" I won't leave! As long as you don't pull yourself together, I will always be by your side! I want to wait until you can face yourself again! " When she said this, she had completely made up her mind.

Yeh Lingchen looked at her, and his gaze became more and more moved. In the end, he nodded slightly. "Since you have chosen to hold my hand, then you must never let go of me. Otherwise, I won't be able to live! "

When Yao Mengqi pushed Yeh Lingchen out of the villa, the servants' eyes revealed a surprised look. Nanny Heh had been waiting by the side and this was the first time she revealed a faint smile at the corner of her mouth.

Yeh Lingchen slowly raised his hand and faced the sunlight. The sunlight fell between his fingers on his face and he faintly smiled in the faint shadow.

He had not felt this kind of feeling for a long time. He had already forgotten when he left the room the last time.

He thought that he had long gotten used to a closed life and that he was only tired and afraid of the outside world. But when he returned to the outside world, he realized how much he loved everything in front of him. Flowers, trees, and fresh air. He breathed greedily. He was like a newborn child who was full of curiosity and desire for everything.

His heart was filled with gratitude towards Yao Mengqi. She said he was an angel, but she was actually his angel. But he absolutely could not hurt her.

"Do you feel better when you're outside?" Yao Mengqi pushed him to walk in the garden. She carefully observed his reaction. She was worried that he would feel any discomfort. But she noticed that the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were smiling. Only then did her tensed heart slowly relax.

"Stop for a moment. I want to chat with you!"

"What do you want to chat about?"

"If the person I'm talking to is you, we can talk about anything."

"Can you take the blanket away and let your legs bask in the sun?" The blanket was too thick, and the light couldn't penetrate it at all. So even if he could occasionally bask in the sun in the room, his muscles would still shrivel up very quickly.

"Alright! But don't be afraid of me, because I'm very ugly..."

"I won't! You're not ugly at all!" Yao Mengqi took a deep breath and held her breath as she slowly lifted the blanket. He was wearing shorts, revealing a section of his shank that was so withered that only bones were left. That scene made her heart jump. But she wasn't afraid. She just felt sorry for him!

"They haven't basked in the sun for a long time..." Yeh Lingchen was much calmer. Since he had decided to walk out of the haze, he had nothing to fear.

Seeing that he could easily say those words, Yao Mengqi finally felt relieved. "In the future, I will always bring you out. You will slowly get better!"

"Okay."

The RV drove through the hollow iron door. The scene in the garden passed through the window. Yeh Hanxuan rarely showed surprise on his face. He could not even believe his eyes. "Old Zhang, stop the car!"

Yao Mengqi and Yeh Lingchen were discussing whether to use chess to play when a voice suddenly came from behind them that could destroy the atmosphere. At least to Yao Mengqi, it sounded very annoying.

"Are you in such a good mood today?"

"Big brother! You're back!" Yeh Lingchen naturally did not know what Yao Mengqi was thinking and welcomed her with a smile.

Yao Mengqi shouted in her heart, Not good! It seems that it is too late for her to escape now! Although she had long known that this day would come, but when it really happened, her heart was a little perturbed. She did not know how Yeh Hanxuan would punish her!

Yeh Hanxuan ignored her and walked in front of Yeh Lingchen. She lowered her noble body and greeted him. When her eyes saw his shrivelled legs, there was a flash of pain in her eyes. She remembered that horrible scene again. She covered his legs with the blanket as if she was running away from him.
