Chapter 486 Is the boy before me really him?
“No, the money needs to be accounted for clearly. This is for my mother and me, you can’t pay for it.” Ning Chen was very insistent on this point.
"I'll do whatever you say. If you tell me to take it, then I'll take it."
Huo Muxi grinned, her face clearly saying: I'm a fangirl.
The Ning Chen in front of me is so refreshing. It feels like a completely different person. She's much more likable than her previous cold and aloof self.
Huo Muxi never dreamed that one day she could sit and talk with Ning Chen like this, so amicably, without any of those cold words.
“Miss Huo, I’d like to have breakfast with my mother. If it’s convenient, would you please come out? I transferred an extra amount of money earlier, which was for your breakfast. Consider it my treat. Thank you for accompanying me so early in the morning to buy things for my mother.”
Huo Muxi suddenly stopped laughing. "???"
So the money I transferred to her earlier was intentional, to get her away from him and prevent her from staying by his side!
If she had known, she wouldn't have accepted it. It would have been better to just let Ning Chen owe her the money.
"Miss Huo?" Ning Chen was a little embarrassed to say these words. He knew it was wrong to kick someone after they had served their purpose, but he really wanted to have breakfast with his mother alone and didn't want any outsiders present.
"We bought so much, there's no way the two of you can finish it all. More people means more help, so how about..."
"I can finish what I eat, and if I can't, I'll pack it up and give it to the stray cats and dogs outside the hospital. I won't waste anything."
Huo Muxi's lips twitched. Did Ning Chen mean he'd rather give breakfast to stray cats and dogs than give it to her?
As expected, a person's nature will not change. Even if he loses his memory and his mind is damaged, he is still the same Ning Chen.
So, after Ning Yao came out of the washroom, Ning Chen was the only one left in the ward.
"Where is Miss Huo?" Ning Yao looked around the ward curiously, and only asked after confirming that Huo Muxi was really gone.
"She had something to do and left first."
"Mom, come and eat. It's still hot. I've poured you some milk and soy milk. See which one you'd like to have."
Ning Chen casually replied, then raised his hand and beckoned to Ning Yao.
His waving gesture was very gentle, his arm swaying softly, coupled with his innocent smile and the first rays of morning sunlight falling on Ning Chen's eyelashes, his bright and pure eyes...
The more Ning Yao looked at him, the more she felt that she had given birth to a son who was like an angel, radiating a halo.
The mother and son sat in their respective seats and ate breakfast. Ning Yao noticed some food residue around Ning Chen's mouth, and smiled as she picked up a tissue to wipe it away for him. Her eyes were incredibly gentle.
Ning Chen had an impulse to try wolfing down his food. That way, he would get food all over himself, and his mother would take out a tissue and gently but helplessly wipe it off.
In fact, Ning Chen eventually suppressed his childish impulse and let Ning Yao eat breakfast in peace.
At the same time, Ning Chen silently noted down several breakfast items that Ning Yao liked to eat, as if he had a notebook inside his body.
He wanted to record everything his mother liked—what she ate, what she wore, what she used, and everything in between.
On the way back to school, Ning Yao and Ning Chen sat in the back seat of the car. Before driving off, Ning Yao repeatedly told Guan Ying to drive slowly.
It doesn't matter if she's late, but she can't let the shock reopen her son's wound.
So Guan Ying slowed down and drove like a snail to school, and as expected, she was late.
Even after arriving at school, Ning Chen refused to leave and insisted on escorting Ning Yao into the classroom.
Ning Chen is universally acknowledged to be good-looking; you can tell just by looking at his parents' good genes.
Many people stared at Ning Chen and Ning Yao along the way. Ning Yao was obviously used to such gazes, but Ning Chen was different.
He had just been injured, the effects of the medication hadn't worn off, his mind was blank, and his spirit wasn't as strong as before.
Under the watchful eyes of so many people, Ning Chen unconsciously moved closer to Ning Yao, even wanting to hide behind her.
“Mom is an actress, so she will attract a lot of attention. Don’t be afraid.” Ning Yao explained to Ning Chen, reached out and took his hand, holding his fingers tightly in her palm, giving him strength.
"Mmm." Ning Chen obediently responded, then let Ning Yao hold his hand and walk towards the school.
Ning Yao was not afraid of gossip, of course. As long as her son didn't care, everything else was irrelevant.
Now, Ning Chen and Ning Yao are even more lovable than when they were children.
Ning Yao stood outside the classroom building, looking at her son with a loving expression.
Ning Chen now felt to her like her family's black dog had suddenly turned into a Samoyed. Ning Yao had a faint urge to stand on tiptoe and grab her son's head...
Thinking this way, she did just that, standing on tiptoe and quickly reaching out to ruffle her son's hair.
Ning Chen has very good hair quality. Men's hair is generally harder and thicker than women's, and it feels more textured to the touch.
The moment she withdrew her hand, Ning Yao felt a surge of impulse, even wanting to rub it a few more times, preferably for an hour or two.
Who could resist touching her son's head? She simply couldn't put him down!
If it were the old Ning Chen, Ning Yao wouldn't have dared to touch his head, after all, her son's aura was too strong.
At the time, Ning Yao thought that in a few years, Ning Chen would probably catch up with Wen Tingye sooner or later, and might even surpass him.
"Alright, I'm here. I'll have Guan Ying take you back." Ning Yao stopped Ning Chen from going further into the teaching building and instead stopped him in a circular open space not far outside the building.
"I don't want to go back to the hospital for now. Can I wait for you at your place after class?" Ning Chen said softly, unwilling to return to the hospital.
On the one hand, he didn't want his mother to have to rush between school and hospital after class, which would be exhausting.
On the other hand, he felt that the location of the hospital ward had been exposed, and if he went back, he would likely run into Miss Huo again.
He wasn't too happy to see that girl; he felt she was overly clingy, and besides, he didn't know her.
“How can we not go back to the hospital?” Ning Yao became serious. She loved her son, but it was love, not spoiling.
Ning Yao would fulfill Ning Chen's requests as long as they were reasonable, but she would not tolerate unreasonable demands.
"You don't need to change your dressing for the next two days. Lying in the hospital is the same as lying anywhere else," Ning Chen pleaded, her voice incredibly soft.
Ning Yao was still adjusting to the sudden transformation of her young, savage son into a cute puppy, and had little resistance to it.
She thought about it and realized that it was true. If she didn't need to change her dressing or have a medical check-up, it would be quite uncomfortable to just stay in the hospital.
Besides, there's not much to eat at the hospital; takeout and the cafeteria food can never compare to Mr. Bocuse's cooking.
Mr. Bocuse's meals are more nutritionally complete and better for the patients.
Ning Yao pursed her lips and said, "Okay, I'll have Guan Ying take you there. The apartment has everything, books, a computer, and food. Just wait patiently in the apartment. I'll be back around 12:30, and then I can be with you."
“Okay.” Ning Chen originally thought that Ning Yao would not agree to let him stay so easily, but the result was unexpectedly good.
Ning Chen was in a great mood, and the corners of his lips immediately turned up high. His dark bangs fluttered in the wind and gently brushed against his face.
The boy lowered his head slightly, leaned in, and gave Ning Yao a quick kiss on the cheek.
Ning Yao was caught off guard and froze on the spot, a hint of surprise showing in her clear fox eyes.
Not only was Ning Yao surprised by Ning Chen's actions, but Guan Ying, who was standing to the side with a cold face as a background wall, also had her pupils shrink and was completely taken aback.
Is the young man in front of her really the same Young Master Ning she knows?
