It's the students' fault if they are too popular.

Tong Yao was stunned and her nose suddenly felt sore.

"You go ahead, I'll go first." Jiang Wu turned around and pressed the elevator switch.

Tong Yao hurriedly said: "I'll take you there."

"No need. I just brought you up. It's stupid for you to go down and waste time." She seemed to be mocking her daughter's IQ, but Tong Yao didn't feel annoyed at all.

"Teacher Tong, Aunt Jiang?" Another gentle voice suddenly interrupted the conversation between the two.

It’s Ruan Qian.

She was holding an insulated lunch box in her hand, which looked like it had just been washed.

The little girl said again: "Hello, Auntie. Would you like to sit down? I have some apples..."

"Hello." Jiang Wu's voice was cold and hostile. "No, I have something else to do."

The elevator door opened, Jiang Wu went in decisively and pressed the close door button.

"Mom, give it to me when we get home..." Tong Yao was stunned for a moment and then quickly said.

——The door is closed.

"……Call up."

She bit her lip, feeling like something was blocking her heart.

The mother was still strong, but she would give in to her, and her back as she left seemed more lonely than before.

"Teacher Tong..." Ruan Qian called softly.

Tong Yao came back to her senses, turned around, and pinched the little girl's face:

"fine."

everything will become better.

Late at night, Ruan Chen fell asleep, giving the family some time to breathe.

Gu Yiwen was lying on the hospital bed. There was a folding mattress in the ward. Several people were polite to each other and no one was willing to lie down. Finally, Gu Yiwen couldn't resist the two children and lay down. He fell asleep after a few minutes.

Ruan Xiaobei was sitting on a chair outside, sleeping in a crooked position.

"Isn't Teacher Tong going home?" Ruan Qian asked in a low voice, "It's very late, and I have classes tomorrow..."

"I've asked for leave." Tong Yao smiled, "A teacher will help me."

"But... it's late," the little girl pursed her lips, "I am enough here."

"But I want to accompany you." Tong Yao gently lifted the little girl's hair from her forehead, "You didn't comb your hair today."

Ruan Qian lowered her head, turned her head, and took a deep breath.

She wanted Teacher Tong to accompany her.

But she can't be willful.

Since Aunt Jiang doesn't like her, she has to work harder.

So, she shook her head desperately:

"I don't want to accompany you."

"But it's so late, and I'm too lazy to go back." Tong Yao squinted her eyes, "Can you please let me stay for one night?"

Mortals cannot resist the temptation of angels.

The desire from the bottom of her heart was like an ant gnawing at her body. Ruan Qian trembled, and finally could not stand such gentle punishment and succumbed to her own selfishness.

She lay on Tong Yao's legs, and the nightmare-like, painful and sad reality could finally no longer disturb her.

"Teacher Tong," the little girl turned her head and touched Tong Yao's drooping hair with her cheek, "Have you read The Three-Body Problem?"

"Huh? No."

"There is a man named Shi Qiang in The Three-Body Problem. He has leukemia and hibernates for 180 years through technology. After waking up, the doctor cures all his diseases."

Tong Yao's hand paused, and at this moment, she suddenly felt the deep despair and pessimism in her little girl's heart.

"It would be great if Dad could hibernate into the future, a time when curing cancer is as easy as curing a cold," Ruan Qian said softly.

Tong Yao lowered her head, and after a while, she kissed the little girl on the cheek and said firmly:

“Don’t wait until the future.

"We will cure uncle this year."

Chapter 118: The Happiness You Bring Me

late at night.

Gu Yiwen did not sleep well. She was awakened by Ruan Chen's weak groaning, and then she found that her husband was just uncomfortable and had not woken up. She felt relieved, got up, drank some water, and slowly opened the door of the ward.

Ruan Xiaobei was lying sideways on the chair, while his daughter was lying on the legs of her teacher Tong.

"Teacher Tong, why aren't you sleeping yet?" She frowned slightly and asked, "Is it inconvenient for Xiao Qian to sleep on your lap?"

"No, no," Tong Yao lowered her voice, "I usually go to bed late."

Gu Yiwen just thought she didn't have the heart to wake up her own daughter.

She didn't want her daughter to cause trouble to others, even if the other party was her daughter's lover. So, when Tong Yao wanted to stop her but didn't dare to, Gu Yiwen gently patted her daughter. The little girl's body trembled violently, and her head leaned back on Tong Yao's thigh, looking at her mother with hazy eyes.

"mom?"

"Get up." Gu Yiwen said softly, "Doesn't your teacher Tong want to sleep?"

The little girl sat up like a catapult and looked at Tong Yao timidly. Tong Yao smiled at her to reassure her and said:

"Auntie, I'm really not sleepy."

"You should take a nap even if you are not sleepy." Gu Yiwen sighed and glanced at his daughter as if to say, "How come you are so inconsiderate?"

Ruan Qian was ashamed. She was only concerned about sleeping and didn't care about Teacher Tong's feelings.

Tong Yao quickly said, "Auntie, Ruanruan is still growing and needs to sleep more."

"No need," the little girl whispered, "Teacher Tong, you should also have a good rest."

As we talked, it became a little disgusting and corny.

Gu Yiwen shook his head and turned to go into the ward.

Tong Yao blinked and leaned back in her chair, leaving her round, smooth legs free:

"Continue to sleep?"

Ruan Qian shook her head, knocked her head against the wall, and tilted her head:

"Teacher Tong, please sleep on my lap."

"never."

"Just take a nap."

One was clinging on, the other refused to obey. In the end, the one with dignity was defeated by the one without shame, and Tong Yao blushed and lay on the girl's legs, feeling the soft thighs under the fluffy school uniform pants.

"Teacher Tong, go to sleep if you are tired."

As Ruan Qian spoke, she brushed the hair away from Tong Yao's ears and rubbed her temple with her fingers.

Tong Yao's eyebrows trembled slightly - the massage from the little girl seemed to be quite comfortable.

In the dim corridor, a blue curtain blocked the view. A cough was heard from an unknown ward, and a staggering patient was carrying a kettle and tremblingly going to the water room to get water.

Not every patient has someone to accompany them.

Ruan Qian stared at the thin patient, worried about him. Sometimes she couldn't help but wonder what would happen if she was hospitalized and no one helped take care of her? In addition to the torture of illness, there was a hint of loneliness and sadness.

Time passed by, never stopping. Ruan Qian's legs were a little tired, and she was surprised. She thought that as long as she sat, she wouldn't feel tired even if someone was lying on her legs. But the facts told her that she would feel tired, especially when she didn't dare to move, for fear of disturbing the sleeping beauty.

It turns out that Teacher Tong had endured so much hardship in the past.

"Tired?"

The nursery rhyme suddenly rang out.

Ruan Qian was stunned: "Teacher Tong, are you awake?"

Then, she added, “Not tired.”

Tong Yao stood up, stretched, put her hands behind her head, and untied the green silk scarf on her head - her hair was tied into a simple ponytail during the day, and now it was spread out like willow branches. She tilted her head and smiled gently and charmingly:

"Don't bother you. I can just sleep against the wall. You should also go to bed early."

Ruan Qian was stunned, as if there was a cat's paw scratching her heart, making her feel excited and itchy.

Tong Yao let her long hair fall, and kissed the wall with the back of her head. It was not comfortable to sleep like this, but she could fall asleep as long as she was sleepy enough. She was drowsy, and suddenly someone pulled her body to the side. She opened her eyes and found herself leaning on Ruan Qian's arms. The little girl lowered her head and said:

"Just sleep here with me."

As if with a bit of overbearing meaning, Tong Yao smiled, slowly lay down, and crawled on the little girl's legs.

"Tell me when you're tired," she emphasized.

"I won't be tired." Ruan Qian said.

"How can you not be tired?" Tong Yao pressed down her hair and raised her head, "Don't be stubborn, you are still young, you don't need to think so much, now is not the time for you to take on these responsibilities."

"But I do." The little girl pursed her lips seriously.

"So good?" Tong Yao said with a smile, "Little adult."

"What's good about that?" Ruan Qian bit her lip and said softly, "I haven't done anything for you..."

In this world, she is so weak. Apart from some small concerns, such as bringing dinner and lunch, celebrating birthdays, giving gifts, and letting Teacher Tong sleep more comfortably... other than that, no matter how hard she tries, she cannot give Teacher Tong the conditions that she originally had.

Fairies drink nectar, but mortals can only give them a glass of mineral water.

Her voice was so soft that Tong Yao didn't hear the last sentence.

After encountering so many things, Ruan Qian sometimes couldn’t tell whether she was lucky or unlucky, but she met Teacher Tong, which must be because God had pity on her and sent an angel to save her.

Her angel, her goddess.

"Teacher Tong."

There is a sentence that she has always kept in her heart.

"Hmm?" Tong Yao responded in a half-asleep state.

"Thank you... for giving me happiness." She said softly, "A happiness you would never imagine."

At 3:30 in the morning, Tong Yao was awakened by the shrill ringing of a bell.

"Bed 15 calling..."

Ruan Qian also woke up, but before she could come to her senses, she saw Gu Yiwen hurriedly running out of the ward, tears streaming down her face:

"Doctor, doctor!"

Ruan Qian was frightened and ran into the ward, only to find that Ruan Chen had vomited blood all over the bed.

The sadness of the patients’ families is that no matter how much pain their loved ones are in, they can do nothing but cry.

Ruan Qian cried again. She stood there, wiping away her tears, choking with sobs as she held her father's hand:

"dad……"

The disease has only now revealed to them the cruel side of life.

Tong Yao felt something slipping from the corner of her eyes. She lowered her head and took a deep breath. It was only a little after three o'clock, but she had no choice but to call Jiang Wu:

"Mom... Ruan Xi's father's illness can't be delayed any longer. Can you contact your doctor now..."

She had originally planned to prepare for the transfer to another hospital in a day or two, but now she didn't know how the situation was going to develop, so she could only pin her hopes on better medical conditions.

"Yaoyao, don't be anxious."
