Sweet Rebirth: The Little Healer

Zhao Nuanyue hugged Little Red Carp. Even though she knew Little Red Carp wasn’t afraid of those people, she thought she would go insane if Little Red Carp were ever kidnapped.

Since ancient times, there have been many depraved people involved in human trafficking, causing countless tragedies in the mortal world and tearing families apart. Right then and there, Zhao Nuanyue cursed all human traffickers to a miserable death.

The train continued its journey, CLACKETY-CLACKING through the dark night as Zhao Nuanyue gazed out the window at the sky.

The sky was dotted with stars. It had been ten days since they left Jincheng City. ’What is Hua Yusen doing right now?’

Zhao Nuanyue missed Hua Yusen terribly. She cherished this feeling of happiness and joy, hoping it would last forever.

Zhao Nuanyue wasn’t normally a greedy person, but when it came to this, she was. ’I want Hua Yusen all to myself. I want his love exclusively, without anyone else getting involved.’

Yet she knew the path of life was full of temptations and setbacks. But she believed that as long as they tried hard and were devoted, they could overcome anything.

With these thoughts on her mind, Zhao Nuanyue drifted off to sleep.

When she woke, it was already the next morning.

”Sister, you should get your things ready. The train will be at the station in a little over ten minutes, and we’ll have to get off soon,” Zhao Nuan Yang reminded her. ”By the way, did you send a telegram to Brother-in-law?”

Zhao Nuanyue thought for a moment, then smacked her forehead. ”Oh heavens, how could I have forgotten something so important! We have so much luggage. How are we going to get it all home?”

Seeing his sister’s reaction, Zhao Nuan Yang was taken aback for a moment before saying sheepishly, ”Ah, I thought you’d already told Brother-in-law, so I didn’t send a telegram or even remind you.”

Just as Zhao Nuanyue was frowning, wondering how they would get home, Zhang Hong, who was sitting nearby, cleared his throat and said with a smile, ”I’ve already sent one. Someone should be here to pick us up when we get off the train. Even if Sen doesn’t come himself, he’ll send someone else with a car.”

At his words, Zhao Nuanyue and Zhao Nuan Yang both turned to look at Zhang Hong. As expected of a professional, he was so thorough.

”Oh, you’re so thoughtful. We would have been in real trouble otherwise,” Zhao Nuanyue said gratefully. She was thoroughly impressed by their professionalism; not only were they skilled fighters, but their minds were also incredibly sharp.

Just as Zhang Hong had predicted, when Zhao Nuanyue and the others got off the train, she saw the man she had been longing for day and night standing at the station exit.

Hua Yusen stood out in the crowd, head and shoulders above the rest. His eyes found her the moment she appeared at the exit and never left.

’His Nuanyue is still so beautiful, so perfect. He could spot her in a sea of people with just a single glance.’

Zhao Nuanyue saw Hua Yusen too. She excitedly raised her hand high and waved, then scooped up Little Red Carp and ran toward him.

In that moment, Zhao Nuanyue no longer felt Little Red Carp’s weight. She moved as if on wings, weaving through the crowd to arrive at Hua Yusen’s side.

Seeing his little wife’s impetuous dash, Hua Yusen couldn’t help but break into a smile.

Little Red Carp was getting bigger and was quite a handful now. Hua Yusen quickly took the child from Zhao Nuanyue’s arms.

”Let me hold her. You must be exhausted from looking after a child all this way!” Holding Little Red Carp with one arm, Hua Yusen took Zhao Nuanyue’s hand with his other. ’If they weren’t in such a public place with so many people coming and going, he would pull her into a fierce hug right now.’

”Mm, okay!” Zhao Nuanyue nodded shyly under Hua Yusen’s intense gaze.

Though they couldn’t express their excitement with a more intimate gesture, Zhao Nuanyue got a little mischievous, lightly tickling his palm a few times with her finger.

’Her eyes could pull him in and make him lose himself completely.’ Hua Yusen turned away, tugging on Zhao Nuanyue’s hand. While still holding Little Red Carp, he nodded to Zhao Nuan Yang, Zhang Hong, and Li Wei behind them, then turned to lead the way out.

Nestled in Hua Yusen’s arms, Little Red Carp watched her sister and brother-in-law making eyes at each other, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

”AHEM...” Little Red Carp pouted. ”Making eyes at each other in front of a child... that’s not very appropriate, is it?”

”Huh?” Hua Yusen froze. He glanced down at Little Red Carp, then over at Zhao Nuanyue, whose face had suddenly flushed red.

Zhao Nuanyue was a little embarrassed by Little Red Carp’s comment, but she also knew this was no ordinary child. ’This little brat is doing it on purpose,’ she thought. ’She loves teasing people who are easily flustered.’

”Hmph, you know, the cake at the Friendship Restaurant is delicious!” Instead of scolding or complaining about Little Red Carp, Zhao Nuanyue said something that seemed completely random.

The best way to deal with a veteran foodie like her was to entice her with delicacies.

After hearing her sister’s threat, Little Red Carp immediately covered her eyes with her hands. ”I’m just a little kid! I don’t know anything! I didn’t see a thing!”

Her performance was a classic case of burying her head in the sand, the perfect picture of a guilty person protesting their innocence a little too loudly.

”Haha...” Hua Yusen laughed too, his earlier embarrassment gone. He found the interaction between his wife and Little Red Carp incredibly endearing. He could already imagine their future. ’If we have a daughter as cute as Little Red Carp, I wonder if she’ll be just as impish?’

Zhao Nuan Yang, who had caught up, asked curiously, ”What are you all laughing about?”

”Nothing, just that Xiao Hong here is a lot of fun,” Hua Yusen said with a complimentary tone. ”If I have a daughter in the future, I hope she’s as adorable as Little Red Carp. I’d be too happy to even sleep!”

”Hmph!” Little Red Carp puffed out her chest, looking displeased. ”Little Red Carp is one of a kind! No one can compare to me!”

Little Red Carp’s pride—and a touch of jealousy—surfaced again. She was afraid that if her sister and brother-in-law had their own child, they wouldn’t treat her as well as they did now.
