In a winter with swirling snowflakes, a pregnant woman with a big belly was rushed to the largest hospital in City T. Her water had broken, and it was time for delivery. However, the pregnant woman looked extremely thin. Pregnancy hadn't made her plump; instead, it had made her even thinner. Her beautiful long hair was a bit dry, and her slender arms were so thin that one could almost see the bones inside. But this didn't affect her beauty at all. On her small oval face, there were a pair of especially clear black eyes.
Due to the pain of childbirth, the face of this beautiful pregnant woman was a bit distorted. It was the middle of winter, but her whole face was soaked in sweat, and she was constantly trembling.
"Make way, make way! There's a pregnant woman!" The nurses in the hospital began to calmly disperse the crowd gathered in the corridor. Then they pushed the hospital bed towards the operating room. On the left side of the bed, a little boy who looked about eight years old was trotting alongside the bed. His little hand was tightly held by the pregnant woman. The grip was so strong that it hurt him a bit, but the little boy just slightly frowned and didn't cry out.
The boy was very good - looking. Although he was only seven years old, one could already tell that he would definitely be a heart - throb when he grew up. Especially on his fair and clean face, a tear mole quietly lay under his left eye, adding a touch of charm to him. But the emotion in his eyes at this moment was far from relaxed. The person on the hospital bed was his loved one. Watching her in such pain while he couldn't do anything to help made him feel really bad.
"Aunt Nuan, you'll be okay," the boy said, holding Su Nuannuan's hand. His bright eyes were full of worry. This pregnant woman named Su Nuannuan was the little bit of warmth he could feel in this family. He liked Aunt Nuan, so he didn't want anything bad to happen to her.
Su Nuannuan's vision was a bit blurred because of the pain. She tried hard to focus her gaze on the little boy. "Xiao Ze..." She tightened her grip on the boy's little hand, as if to comfort him and also to encourage herself. "If, if anything happens to Aunt Nuan... you, you have to help Aunt Nuan take care of, take good care of the baby..."
Little Su Yuze already understood the concept of death. He understood what Su Nuannuan meant by "anything happens," but he didn't want to accept it. "Aunt Nuan."
"Hehe, Xiao Ze... you have to become stronger, so that you won't be as useless as Aunt Nuan," Su Nuannuan smiled. But under the intense pain, her smile was a bit fragmented. After saying this, she was pushed into the operating room, blocking Su Yuze's sight.
"Little Master, the old master is looking for you," a row of black - clothed men stood respectfully behind Su Yuze.
Su Yuze ignored the voice behind him. He just silently waited for the person in the operating room. Seeing this, the black - clothed men behind him looked at each other for a while. Finally, they chose to wait together. After all, the little master was their boss, and they didn't dare to be disrespectful to their boss in any way.
Time passed by second by second. The red light in the operating room was still on and hadn't gone out. But at this moment, a little nurse suddenly ran out, shouting as she ran, "Who is the family member of the patient?"
Su Yuze immediately stepped forward. "I am."
"You..." The nurse was a bit speechless. "Little brother, you're not an adult yet."
Su Yuze's face darkened. "Just tell me."
The little nurse looked around. Besides this little boy, there was only that row of black - clothed men behind him. They looked like they were not easy to deal with. After thinking for a moment, the little nurse decided to tell Su Yuze. "Well, the patient's physical condition is not very good. She's having a difficult labor. We need to arrange a cesarean section for the pregnant woman, but there will be a certain risk. So we need a guarantor to sign!" Obviously, this little brother couldn't be the guarantor.
"Risk?" A flash of anger passed through little Su Yuze's eyes. "No, she can't have anything happen to her!"
"But this is what the patient requested," the little nurse said, looking a bit embarrassed.
Su Yuze frowned. Since this was what Aunt Nuan requested, then... he would respect Aunt Nuan's decision. "I'll sign." At this moment, he was like a mature man, bravely offering to sign and be the guarantor.
"Little brother, this isn't a game..." The little nurse had no immunity to this good - looking little brother. She could only try to persuade him earnestly.
"I said, give it to me to sign!" Su Yuze looked coldly at the nurse. At such a young age, he had already mastered the art of being cold to perfection.
The little nurse didn't know if she was scared or what. She actually gave the things in her hand to Su Yuze out of the blue. Su Yuze quickly glanced at the "Operation Consent Form" in his hand, and then signed his name at the bottom. When the little nurse took it back and looked, she found that this little boy had really signed. Although the handwriting was a bit immature, it was very beautiful. But the point was, a seven - year - old child was actually acting as a guarantor for a pregnant woman!!
Time passed by second by second. Su Yuze waited patiently at the door. When he saw a doctor wearing a mask come out, he immediately ran over. Looking up with his beautiful little face, he asked, "Doctor, is the baby born?"
The doctor looked into Su Yuze's hopeful eyes and couldn't say a word for a moment. Just then, a nurse walked out holding something. She looked at the doctor, her eyes full of helplessness. The doctor sighed and said to Su Yuze, "The patient's baby... couldn't be saved. It was stuck in the birth canal for too long and was already suffocated when it was taken out. Oh, by the way, it was a girl."
"What about Aunt Nuan?" Su Yuze understood that the thing that was just carried out was Aunt Nuan's baby.
"The patient's condition is very serious. She's having a massive hemorrhage. I'm afraid..."
The doctor didn't finish his sentence. He didn't want to be too straightforward and hurt this little brother. After saying this, he shook his head and left. Su Yuze stood there expressionlessly for a while, and then suddenly ran out. It was snowing heavily outside. Su Yuze looked up sadly at the gray sky. "Aunt Nuan..."
"Little Master," the dedicated black - clothed man behind him immediately held an umbrella for Su Yuze. "Let's go back."
Su Yuze pushed the black - clothed man away violently and roared angrily, "Get out of here!" Why could they be so cold? Wasn't Su Nuannuan also a member of the Su family? Why did Grandpa have to be so heartless? Su Yuze clenched his fists tightly. His small body trembled slightly because of anger.
Just then, a baby's cry came, sounding especially clear in the quiet air. Su Yuze frowned, and then slowly walked towards the sound. Under a pine tree, a little baby was lying alone, crying. The baby was only wearing a thin coat. Her cheeks were already red from the cold, and her cry was hoarse. Su Yuze didn't know what had touched him, but he gently picked up the baby. Because he had no experience, his way of holding the baby was very awkward. "It's a girl..." Su Yuze wrapped the baby's coat tightly. He looked at her carefully. On her chubby little face, a pair of clear big eyes were full of tears. Maybe it was because of the cold, or maybe it was because of hunger. Coincidentally, this baby girl also had a tear mole, but it was under her right eye. With her teary eyes, she looked extremely pitiful.
At this moment, Su Yuze made a decision. He carried the baby girl back to the operating room in the hospital. Su Nuannuan had just woken up. Seeing Su Yuze, she smiled slightly. She was so weak all over that she couldn't sit up. "Xiao Ze, where's the baby?" she asked softly.
Su Yuze handed the baby in his arms to Su Nuannuan. "Here, Aunt Nuan. It's a girl."
Su Nuannuan gently stroked the baby girl's little face. A look of guilt flashed in her eyes. She could feel that her time was running out. Poor child. She was born without her parents. "Xiao Ze, in the future, take good care of her for me, okay?"
"Okay," Su Yuze nodded firmly.
Su Nuannuan smiled with relief. "Su Rou. Her name will be Su Rou from now on..." She touched the baby girl's tear mole. She hoped that this child would become a gentle and charming girl in the future!
"Okay."
"Hehe... thank you." She always thought that Xiao Ze was very mature. She believed that it would be okay to leave the child in his care. She gently closed her eyes, and a teardrop slid down from the corner of her eye. It was guilt towards little Su Rou. But she would never know that this child actually didn't belong to her at all. Of course, she would never know what would happen to this child in the future.
