After Rebirth, the Celebrity Daughter is the Medical Expert!

Chapter 768: Chapter 616: Warding Off Evil, Avoiding Misfortune

Ning Youguang fell into deep silence.

After listening to Xia Youqing talk about Xie Yizun’s audition, she had only one feeling: "What someone is good at or not good at, their state really cannot be hidden at all."

In her younger brother, talent and clumsiness coexist in contradiction.

...

After the mother and daughter finished discussing the child, they turned their attention back to each other.

In the end, Xia Youqing took out the clothes she bought for Ning Youguang and, after showing them to her, both expressed satisfaction.

"How do you wash clothes here?"

Seeing the clothes hanging on the balcony outside the hospital room, Xia Youqing thought it’s best to wash the new clothes once before wearing them, especially since her daughter is currently ill, with the weakest immunity.

"Hand wash."

"Is it Wangyue who washed those clothes?"

"No." Ning Youguang answered, "It was Xiao Zhang from Aunt Ming’s family who came over yesterday to help us wash them."

"Are the clothes washing tools on the balcony or in the bathroom? Let me wash your clothes too." After answering, Xia Youqing asked, "Do you have any other clothes that you’ve worn but haven’t washed? I’ll wash them together."

Ning Youguang was momentarily speechless.

She didn’t expect her mom to suddenly say such things.

On a deeper level, she didn’t expect her mom would want to wash her clothes, and by hand no less...

After all, as a lady who had been taken care of by maids since childhood, and a big star who had assistants to carry bags and change shoes after growing up, her mom doesn’t even wash her own clothes.

So —

"Do you know how to hand wash clothes?"

"Do you really think I’m an idiot who can’t take care of myself like your brother?" Xia Youqing, holding the new clothes, said with a hint of annoyance.

"I wouldn’t go that far." Ning Youguang said, "I just wonder if you actually can."

"As for washing clothes, of course I can~" Xia Youqing said with great confidence, "I haven’t hand-washed large items, but I’ve washed lighter clothes."

Having said that, she asked again, "Do you have scissors?"

"No, what do you need scissors for?"

"To cut the tags." Xia Youqing fished out a tag from one of the new clothes, pinching it between her fingers.

"There’s a nail clipper on my keys." Ning Youguang pointed to the cabinet in the hospital room, "In the top cabinet, there’s my bag with my keys."

So Xia Youqing put down the clothes and rummaged through the cabinet for the bag.

After finding the nail clipper, she returned to the pile of new clothes and started cutting off the tags one by one.

This time, the clothes she bought for Ning Youguang were very complete, from inside to outside, including everything from intimate underwear, warm underwear to sweaters for layering, coats, pants, etc.

More thoughtfully, she bought a set of bright red underwear, a very auspicious shade of red.

As nice as it was, it wasn’t a color Ning Youguang often wore.

"I originally wanted to buy the warm underwear in red too." Holding a crimson lace underwear, Xia Youqing glanced at Ning Youguang, then back at the red underwear, "But I thought better of it, afraid you’d find it garish and not wear it."

If not worn, there’s no point in buying it.

The speaker had no particular intention, but the listener took it to heart; a keen observer can notice the subtle and understand the deeper meaning behind words.

Ning Youguang’s gaze shifted from the finely designed, meticulously crafted exquisite red underwear in Xia Youqing’s hand to Xia Youqing herself, who was gently stroking the underwear, her expression soft but tinged with a thin, thin regret.

She sensitively felt her heartbeat slow by a half beat, and at the same time, her vision started to blur a bit.

She didn’t know which nerve in her brain this scene had triggered.

But she knew, at this moment, she couldn’t easily tear her gaze away from Xia Youqing.

"Just having red underwear is enough." In a daze, Ning Youguang heard herself say in a very soft voice.

She knew why her mom bought her red underwear.

She also knew why her mom wanted to buy her red warm underwear.

— To ward off evil, avoid disasters.

"Why is it enough?" The slight regret on Xia Youqing’s face dissipated instantly.

She set down the underwear and happily pulled out a small package from the bag beside her, "Look, I also bought you red socks."

As she opened the bag, Ning Youguang clearly saw a pair of thick red mid-calf socks bearing the logo of some luxury brand.

A golden logo, red socks, luxurious yet simple.

"These socks are really beautiful." She sincerely praised.

"Does my taste ever need affirmation?" Xia Youqing’s voice and expression became lighter, "Yesterday you wouldn’t let me come over, so I went to the mall instead. At least I didn’t do my makeup in vain."

Ning Youguang smiled along, "Did you go to the mall by yourself?"

"Of course." Xia Youqing laughed, "I drove to the Wangfu Central Mall specifically, went early yesterday, so there weren’t many people, and it went smoothly."

"How long did you shop?" Seeing the joy on Xia Youqing’s face, Ning Youguang asked again.

"About half a day, from Yonghe Temple I went there..." She abruptly stopped, as if remembering something, set down the socks and rummaged through her bag, then pulled out a small red paper package and handed it to Ning Youguang, "For you."

"What’s this?" Ning Youguang asked in surprise, looking at the small red paper package Xia Youqing handed over, "Is it a peace charm?"

"It’s a peace charm, requested from Yonghe Temple yesterday." Xia Youqing said, "Mom hopes that in the future, you’ll always be blessed and safe."

"Thank you." Ning Youguang lowered her eyes, extending her palm.

After Xia Youqing placed the small peace charm in her palm, she earnestly looked at it for a while before carefully storing it in her chest pocket.

...

When Shi Wangyue returned to the hospital room, the only sound was the rustling water on the balcony.

Ning Youguang was sitting on the bed, gazing out the window in a daze, her expression peaceful, her eyes soft yet profound.

He sat gently in front of her, quietly watching her without speaking.

Only after she withdrew her gaze from the window and turned it to him did she gently ask, "What are you thinking about?"

Ning Youguang’s clear, gentle gaze landed on his face filled with concern, her voice as light as clouds hanging in the sky, yet distant and open-minded.

She said, "Wangyue, I feel like some extremely subtle, desolate parts of my life have been deeply, deeply nourished, gaining a slight vitality."

Shi Wangyue was at a loss for a moment.

Then, he asked nothing, said nothing.

He merely held her, appearing ethereal, tightly and for a long, long time.
