Rebirth: Divine Doctor, Sweet Wife

She looked at the child for some time.

He was a very handsome child. Although he looked very much like Little Xu, he had finer features. Now he was smiling, and with his big, shiny eyes, he looked especially adorable.

But what surprised Gu Qingyao was that she seemed to see… love… in the child’s eyes??!!

She felt as if she had been struck by lightning. How could a four- or five-year-old child be looking at her dotingly?

She must be mistaken!

But when she carefully observed him for a long time, the child did indeed seem to be concerned about her.

“It’s snowing heavily outside! It’s very cold. If you’re afraid of the cold, you can stay in bed and wrap yourself with blankets. I’ll get you a towel to wipe your face, all right?”

Mu Mu spoke earnestly and was clearly eager to please.

Gu Qingyao: “…”

This… shouldn’t a child make a big fuss when he woke up and found himself sleeping next to a stranger?

Why was this child behaving… in such an unexpected manner?

Gu Qingyao hurriedly put on a smile. “No need. It’s already eight o’clock, I should get up. Mu Mu, do you want your older brother? I’ll ask him to get you…”

“No!” Mu Mu replied decisively.

Gu Qingyao: “…”

Had something gone wrong? Why did she feel that something was amiss?

“You… you’re not afraid?”

“You’re so pretty and so gentle. Why should I be afraid?”

Gu Qingyao: “…”

Are you sure you’re just a little child?

Gu Qingyao could not figure out what the child was thinking, but she still needed to get up.

“All right, it’s late now. Let’s hurry and get up.”

Gu Qingyao got out of bed and put on her clothes. Mu Mu sat on the bed, wrapped in blankets, and watched her.

When she had made herself tidy, she brought Mu Mu’s clothes over.

The clothes he had been wearing were too old and stiff and could not keep him warm at all. So she had found him another set of clothes from her interspace.

She had made these for Little Nine previously but had not brought them out yet. Little Nine was about the same age as him. Although they were a bit too big for Mu Mu, it did not matter.

Underneath, he wore a set of undergarments made of very soft cotton, which would keep him warm. This was the first time Mu Mu was wearing such comfortable clothes. He kept stroking them with his small hand and he looked at them for a long time.

After he had put on his undergarments that would keep him warm, she put a woolen sweater on him. Mu Mu had never seen such a thing before, and his amazement deepened.

After he had put on his sweater, she gave him a small cotton vest, and lastly, she put a quilted jacket on over him.

The quilted jacket was made of new cotton wool and was especially warm. It was made of old cloth on the outside, so no one could tell.

For pants, he had cotton-padded trousers with suspenders. The suspenders went beneath the vest but outside the sweater.

Lastly, she put an overall over his clothes. This covered his cotton-padded trousers and his quilted jacket, making it more convenient to change and wash him.

Lastly, she gave him a pair of cotton, lace-up shoes that were unique to those times.

The little fellow stood on the bed, occasionally stroking his clothes. This was the first time he was wearing such nice clothes. He smiled blissfully.

“They’re so warm!”

Everyone liked well-behaved children. Gu Qingyao stroked his head. “You’re such a good boy!”

After they got up, she brought him to brush his teeth and wash his face. She put face cream on his small face. It was moisturizing so that the cold wind would not sting his skin.

Finally, she brought him to look for Jiang Xun.

Jiang Xun had been waiting for a long time. Since Gu Qingyao did not get up, he did not dare to disturb her either. He finally heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Mu Mu.

Jiang Xun thought that Mu Mu would be lethargic after such a serious illness and would cling to him. But in the end, Mu Mu only came over to greet him. Then he became Gu Qingyao’s little shadow. He followed Gu Qingyao wherever she went and completely ignored his older brother…
