Watching the cub fall asleep, Yu Xingqiao took a blanket and gently covered him.
The small child was lying on his side and curled up into a ball. Yu Xingqiao seemed to have seen it from a TV show: it said that this sleeping position was a sign of insecurity.
It was truly pitiful and yet cute.
Yu Xingqiao’s eyes softened a lot.
Looking at the little boy’s pink glutinous cheeks, his hand started to itch. However, when he had just reached out his finger, he couldn’t help but withdraw it.
His cub had just fought today and even got bullied by the little fairy, he must be very tired.
It would be better if he didn’t disturb his cub’s sleep tonight.
Thinking about it, it was very strange. Obviously, this was just a game and the cub was only a set of data, but he kept feeling that the cub was a living being with flesh and blood, just in another way of existence.
The cub could be injured to the point of vomiting blood; he could feel tired, hungry, shy, and happy. Even more so, he could feel sad and angry.
All these things that happened to him felt so real as if he was a real lifeform. Unlike any other games, even if the simulation was extremely realistic, there would often be a sense of dissociation.
Yu Xingqiao held his chin in one hand as his eyes lingered on the cub’s sleeping face.
Too good looking, like a piece of art.
He had never seen a person’s face up close like this before.
Since young, he and his closest people have always been separated by a layer of heavy protective clothing. If he wanted to see their whole face, it can only be done through a video.
Having said that, he and his cub actually have a similar relationship. Only through the cold phone screen could they see each other ……
A strong feeling of loneliness rose from the bottom of his heart.
However, it was quickly suppressed by Yu Xingqiao.
At least he could see the cub anytime now ah. If he wanted to see him then he would only need to go online, not having to worry whether he was busy, disturbing him, or taking up his time.

Thinking about this, the youth curled his lips.

“Time flies very quickly ah.”
Yu Xingqiao put the phone down and stretched, but did not quit the game. Therefore, the little fairy’s song was still playing from the speaker.
The nurse lady said, “What song is this? It’s strangely nice to listen to.”
“Right? I also think that it’s nice.”
Yu Xingqiao smiled and said, “This is an NPC singing in the game, I don’t know which voice actor was hired but not only is the dubbing superb, their voice is also particularly beautiful.”
The nurse lady nodded her head and deeply agreed.
Afterwards, she did not continue this topic but dragged Yu Xingqiao to walk around the room to do some exercises and other activities.
“It’s your birthday soon, President Yu is going to hold a party for you and invite everyone to celebrate your birthday.”
Yu Xingqiao was exercising his wrist when he suddenly heard the nurse lady say this.
“He originally wanted to give you a surprise but I think this matter should be told to you first so that you are mentally prepared.”
With the teenager’s glass-like body, a little emotional excitement would burden his fragile organs and such a surprise would probably turn into a shock.
After the doctors understood the situation, they allowed the nurse lady to discuss this with Yu Xingqiao first.
Having listened to the nurse lady’s words, Yu Xingqiao was a little stunned.
“Why did they decide to have a party this year ……”
The nurse lady stopped and touched his face tenderly through her gloves, “Because you’re turning eighteen soon ah. This is a very important birthday in life.”
Yu Xingqiao blinked his eyes.
Because he lived in a sterile room all day, he actually did not have a particularly deep concept of time nor did he feel that being eighteen was any different.
This only meant that he was one step closer to his death, which the doctor had set at twenty years old.
“You tell my father that I don’t want to have this party ……”
Yu Xingqiao drooped his eyelashes. He could actually go out. As long as he was well protected and carried an oxygen tank, he could participate in activities outside.
However… …
The light in the teenager’s eyes diminished and said softly, “I don’t want to appear in front of others dressed like a monster again.”
The nurse lady was stunned.
“Xingqiao… …”
“Time’s up, I’m going to play my game first.” Yu Xingqiao didn’t let her continue. He turned around and climbed back onto the hospital bed.
The teenager who was about to become an adult was still so thin and frail, covered in a white hospital gown causing his clothes to be more loose and baggy.
The nursing lady sighed, having sensed his resistance.
Seeing that the teenager really did not want to talk anymore, she had no choice but to turn around and leave the room.
She took off her protective clothing and was about to go and talk to Yu Xingqiao’s father when she ran into Yu Ting in the corridor.
“Good morning, Mr. Yu.”
She braced herself and smiled faintly. Yu Ting was dressed casually in loose loungewear and was probably going to see Yu Xingqiao.
He nodded his head, looking her up and down, he asked, “Did something happen? You don’t look too good.”
After a moment of hesitation, the nurse lady told him what had just happened.
The more Yu Ting listened, the tighter he furrowed his brow.
“What nonsense!”
He couldn’t help but let out a soft curse and only after he saw the nurse lady freeze did he ease his tone and said, “I’ll talk to the old man about this, just take care of Qiaoqiao.”
The nurse lady paused and nodded, “Okay, Mr. Yu.”
Afterwards, Yu Ting turned around and left.
In the sterile room, Yu Xingqiao was unaware of the conversation between the two adults outside as he climbed onto the hospital bed and continued his game.
The teenager’s lips were pursed tightly, without the pleasure and happiness he had felt earlier.
He sat with his knees bent, one hand hugging his skinny knees and the other tapping on his phone. His black eyes were somewhat disoriented as if he had lost all energy suddenly.
The little fairy was still singing.
Yi yi ya ya, an unfamiliar yet moving language, together with the soft musical sound, had a magical feeling of reassurance to others.
Yu Xingqiao listened quietly for a while.
Suddenly, his line of sight moved.
The game screen still stayed at the angle he left, reflecting the close-up image of the cub in front of him.
The little boy still maintained his previous sleeping position. His long eyelashes dropped slightly, casting a small fan-shaped shadow, covering his pair of ruby-like eyes.
The usually aloof little boy’s expression was no longer taut and his eyebrows had loosened. His glutinous little face together with the cute bunny onesie, his whole appearance was a soft mess.
Suddenly, he closed his little mouth as he leaned on the small pillow and gently rubbed against it.
It was as if (it was) rubbing against his heart.
Gracias por su esfuerzo, Traductor-nim ✨

Mutual comfort, their relationship is so heartwarming. ฅ(´-ω-`)ฅ
Awwwww BUT ALSO is he gonna die soon??? I got a bad feeling about his birthday wuwu
Why so sweet? Ah
Thank you for new chapter!
Thank you for the update ❤️💯
QiaoQiao… 😭😭😭😭😭
And how insensitive can that father be?! If he had truly thought of celebrating his birthday with him, it would’ve been in the ward with their family or something and should’ve thought of how stimulating Xingqiao was no good. 😤
Thanks for the chapter!
I think the father thought of that with good intentions though? The father probably thought that since MC have always been in the hospital, maybe he wants to go out and play even just for a while? Ngl, you made it sounds like the father is irresponsible and doesn’t care about the MC.
I mean, if I have a child who’s sick and could probably die in two years, I’ll think about how I can make them happy. One thing that would first come out of my mind is that maybe my child who’s practically living in the hospital wants to go out and celebrate their birthday just like any other normal kids. Eat cakes, wearing birthday hats, loud music, inviting friends, etc. Who wants to die in hospital bed without even being able to take a single step out of the hospital?
And maybe I understood it wrong, but I think our MC has gone out in that suit and has bad memories of it, hence does not want to do it again.
And I may not have expressed it well, I commend the father for at least thinking of MC and wanting to throw a birthdayparty for him (some novels have family members who completely ignore/abandon their sick child) but maybe he should have talked it over with the wife and elder son before going ahead with the surprise birthdayparty.
The sleeping sweetness is killing me😍😍😍
So sweet… Thanks for the chapter 💕
