"Uncle Huo!"
The niece greeted Huo Jian Sheng with a sweet voice as soon as she saw him.
Huo Jian Sheng responded and waved at his niece, saying, "Come here, Uncle Huo wants to discuss something with you."
"What's the matter?"
Xinyu walked over to Huo Jian Sheng and sat down beside him, tilting her little head and asking.
"Help Uncle Huo with a favor, accompany him to meet someone."
"Who are we going to meet?"
"Uncle Huo's friend. When the time comes, just cooperate with her, okay?"
"Um..."
The niece tilted her head and pondered.
"Uncle Huo will buy you a laptop."
Upon hearing this, Xinyu's face lit up with joy, and she happily agreed, "Okay."
She had been wanting a laptop for a long time and had been pestering her mom to buy one. However, her mom said she was still too young and would buy her one when she started junior high school.
...
Huo Jian Sheng and Xinyu boarded the plane overnight.
During the flight, Huo Jian Sheng explained the purpose and mission of this trip to Xinyu.
Xinyu found it quite exciting and readily agreed.
When the plane landed, it was already 3 a.m.
After calling Li Man, Huo Jian Sheng took a taxi straight to the hospital.
Li Man didn't expect Huo Jian Sheng to arrive so quickly and quickly booked a hotel room for him near the hospital.
After booking the room, she sent Huo Jian Sheng a location.
It was late autumn now, and the nights were especially cold. Li Man waited at the hotel entrance, shivering from the cold.
A taxi stopped in front of Li Man.
Huo Jian Sheng got out of the car with Xinyu.
When Li Man saw her niece, she was momentarily stunned and instantly understood Huo Jian Sheng's intention.
Her daughter didn't come, and although she felt a bit disappointed, this arrangement was also good.
She looked at Huo Jian Sheng, her eyes filled with gratitude.
"Auntie!"
Upon seeing Li Man, Xinyu sweetly called out.
Li Man was instantly petrified.
This address of 'Auntie' made Huo Jian Sheng quite happy, but he didn't expect this niece to be so unconventional. Awkwardly, he said to Li Man, "She's my niece, Xinyu. She doesn't know any better. Please don't mind."
Li Man quickly said, "It's alright, it's alright."
Huo Jian Sheng gently said to Xinyu, "Didn't I ask you to call her Mom? Why are you calling her something else?"
The niece made a face at Huo Jian Sheng and then said to Li Man, "My uncle said for me to call you Mom and act with you."
Li Man quickly said softly, "Yes, would you like that?"
"I'd love to. I promised my uncle." Xinyu replied.
Li Man expressed her gratitude, saying, "Thank you. Your name is Xinyu, right? Thank you, Xinyu. How old are you?"
"I'm eleven."
"That's the same age as my daughter. Auntie also has an eleven-year-old daughter."
"I know, my uncle told me."
"Thank you for agreeing to help me. You must be tired. Go back to your room and rest after breakfast tomorrow morning, okay?"
"Okay!"
Li Man had only booked one room earlier, but after seeing her niece, she got another room.
"After all, Xinyu had grown up, so she couldn't share a room with Huo Jian Sheng.
It was already late, and Li Man didn't chat for long. After making arrangements for them, she returned to the hospital.
...
The next day.
As the sky brightened, Zhang Yan got up.
After brushing her teeth and washing her face, she went to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, and took out the shrimp she had specially bought from the supermarket last night.
Her daughter loved the shrimp dumplings she made since she was little.
She first cooked millet and Chinese yam porridge for Li Liangsheng before starting to knead the dough.
She had a rare good night's sleep last night.
She felt energized.
Since Li Liangsheng was diagnosed with cancer, she hadn't had a good night's sleep.
After preparing breakfast, Zhang Yan took it to the hospital.
Li Liangsheng was awake too. Whether it was an illusion or not, Li Man felt that her father's complexion had improved a lot today."
