On November 7, 1997, in the parallel world No. ZS562, at the Third Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Canglan City, two-year-old Li Mengli stood on tiptoes beside the hospital bed and stared blankly at the baby in her mother's arms for a long time.
"Mengli, what are you thinking about?" Her mother looked at her, "How is it? My sister is cute, isn't she?"
"I also want to be hugged by my mother..." Li Mengli murmured, opening her arms, "Mom will no longer love Mengli after she gives birth to a new child."
"Dad, hug me!" Li Hai picked up Li Mengli and whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, Meng Li. After you have a sister, your parents will have more love, and they will love you even more in the future."
Li Mengli didn't speak. She saw the nurse not far away holding a needle in her hand, and thought, it would be great if the nurse could give her sister an injection - in that case, her mother would have to hold her.
The nurse was about to give the baby in front of her an injection when her body suddenly stiffened, startling the mother next to her.
The mother asked nervously: "Nurse, what's the problem? How many more injections are needed to save my child from childhood dementia?"
The nurse looked around, then looked down at the medicine bottles and syringes in the tray next to her. She replaced the 1 ml syringe in her hand with a 5 ml one, then inserted the needle into the medicine bottle and completely filled the syringe with medicine.
"Don't be nervous. This is not an injection for your child. I'm just going to adjust it." The nurse put the syringe in her pocket and took a few steps towards the door of the ward. Suddenly she stopped as if she remembered something and turned around and shouted, "Yes. Okay, whose child is named Li Mengling?"
"Nurse?" Li Hai raised his hand.
The nurse looked at Li Mengli held by Li Hai and was stunned for a moment, "She has grown so big?"
"Nurse, you really know how to joke. I am holding my sister. Isn't Meng Ling in her mother's arms?" Li Hai looked at the nurse who came over with trust and asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's okay, I'll take her to weigh her."
"Nurse, didn't you weigh yourself before?" Li Mengling's mother asked doubtfully, "Why do you weigh me again?"
The nurse calmly picked up Li Mengling and said, "This time it's a bone weighing, and her body proportions need to be measured, but it's very quick. It'll be done in a few minutes. Don't worry."
"Okay, I'll follow you." Li Hai hugged Li Mengli and followed the nurse. At this time, he didn't want Li Mengling to leave his sight for a moment. It wasn't that he doubted the nurse, but because of his love for his second daughter, he wanted to stay with her. Holding her.
"Hey -" the nurse stood still and just sighed softly, "It's really troublesome. How can I do something to such a young child..."
"What did you say?" Li Hai was confused.
"Forget it, forget it, I have something else to do, let's talk about it tomorrow." The nurse put Li Mengling back into her mother's arms on the hospital bed, turned around and left in a hurry.
Another mother in the hospital bed not far away shouted: "Nurse! What should I do about my child's dementia?"
"It's hopeless!" The nurse ran out of the ward and complained to herself, "I'm so convinced, why do you have to arrange for me to do such a cruel thing?
It’s because I couldn’t do anything, so I chose to use injection drugs. If it was a baby, it would definitely not be able to survive with this dose, no matter what kind of drug it was, right?
But under the noses of her parents, how could I do anything? Still have to wait for the opportunity..."
When she was turning the corner to go downstairs, she suddenly bumped into a woman.
"Oops!" The girl was holding the food she bought with both hands. When she looked up, she saw the nurse staring at her with a frown, "I'm sorry, s--it hurts."
"Li Mengling, how dare you travel here?" The nurse quietly held the syringe in her pocket, but she did not dare to act rashly. Since the other party dared to come, he must be fully prepared.
"Li Mengling? Hehe, nurse, you also think that my niece looks a lot like me, right?" Li Xiaoyu carried the food in one hand with one hand, and rubbed the forehead where he had just been hit with the other hand, smiling. Said, "It's really strange. Logically speaking, the baby hasn't grown yet, but just looking at the eyebrows, it really feels like looking in the mirror."
"Interesting..." The nurse raised the corner of her mouth and took the syringe out of her pocket. "Hold it for me and wait for me here."
"Ah? Oh." Li Xiaoyu took the syringe and saw the nurse running into the ward not far away.
After waiting for about two minutes, the nurse still didn't come out. Li Xiaoyu felt that her arms carrying the food were a little sore. She placed the bag on the unheated radiator next to the wall and planned to go to the ward to see what was going on.
But when she took a step, her whole body suddenly froze.
After a few seconds, a strange smile appeared on her face.
Li Xiaoyu put the syringe in his hand into his pocket, then carried the food and went to the ward where Li Mengling was located.
"elder brother?"
"Give it to me." Li Hai took the food, "Thank you for your hard work, Xiaoyu."
"It's not hard work!" Li Xiaoyu looked at the baby in the woman's arms and said, "Sister-in-law, Meng Ling is asleep. Just have a good rest and let me hold her. I won't make you tired in the future."
"Yes." The woman nodded and handed the sleeping Meng Ling to Li Xiaoyu.
"I want to be hugged by my aunt..." Li Mengli immediately opened her arms to Li Xiaoyu.
"Auntie will hug you later."
Time passed by, Li Mengli was still young after all, and she fell asleep after a while. Li Hai put her on an empty hospital bed and said softly: "Xiaoyu, if you are tired, put Mengling back in the crib." Come on, let me watch her."
Li Xiaoyu glanced at the crib next to the hospital bed and said, "I haven't cared about it enough. This little guy is so cute."
"Yeah..." Li Hai looked at Li Mengli who was sleeping soundly, "I remember when our mother gave birth to you, I also hated you, but so many years have passed... and now you are actually holding me Second daughter, I have never thought of this scene before..."
"Brother, if I do something sorry for you, will you forgive me?"
"Look at what you said, what can you do to apologize to me? Our father left early, and my sister-in-law and I have already agreed not to fight with you about that house."
Li Xiaoyu was silent. She carried Li Mengling to the window, turned her back to Li Hai, looked at the withered yellow leaves floating outside the window, and murmured: "Actually, I don't know whether this is her misfortune or mine. Unlucky."
While speaking, she put one of her hands into her pocket, held the syringe, and sighed: "Hey - I'm in pain too... But I still figured it out.
Just like fallen leaves, they will fall to the ground no matter how long they float.
No matter how long we struggle with this kind of thing, it will be implemented sooner or later.
If she doesn't die, I will die. "
"Xiaoyu! What are you talking about? What about immortality?" Li Hai felt that she was weird, so he stood up and was about to go over. When he saw Li Xiaoyu take out a syringe from his pocket, she quickly bit it off with her teeth. He picked up the plastic cap of the needle and stuck the needle into the skin of the baby's arm.
The sound of crying and howling instantly echoed through the entire ward.
The babies sleeping in the crib woke up one after another, and all started crying.
Before Li Hai rushed over, Li Xiaoyu had already pushed all the medicine in.
"Nurse! Nurse!" Li Hai grabbed Li Mengling and shouted loudly.
Li Xiaoyu, on the other hand, stared at all this blankly, with tears in his eyes.
"It wasn't me! It wasn't me..." Li Xiaoyu looked at the woman with red eyes on the hospital bed and took a few steps back in fright. She murmured tremblingly: "Sister-in-law...sister-in-law, I seem to be possessed. I'm pregnant, it really wasn't me just now..."
