When Meng Xi'er went in, she accidentally woke him up. Meng Zichen opened his sleepy eyes to see Meng Xi'er standing next to his bed, his eyes instantly lit up: "Mommy!"
His voice was soft, laced with sleepiness.
Meng Xi'er sat by his bed, grabbing his hand: "Baby, go back to sleep. Mommy is here."
Meng Zichen leaned his head against Meng Xi'er's shoulder, murmuring softly: "Baby can't sleep anymore. Has mommy been very tired from work lately? You seem to have lost weight."
Mo Sinian told him that his mommy was too busy with work to visit him lately. Despite Meng Zichen sincerely hoped Meng Xi'er could visit while he was hospitalized, he suppressed his desires.
From a young age, he was aware of how much Meng Xi'er had sacrificed for him.
So he tried to be as good as possible, not wanting to cause her any worries.
