Bai Yurou woke up and discovered she was lying on an outrageously large bed.
It was no longer the simple, ordinary hospital bed from the hospital.
This bed was spread with cool, smooth silk sheets, had a silk pillow under her head, and was covered by a light, soft goose-down quilt.
Every inch clung to her skin, like a gentle nest tailor-made just for her.
Bai Yurou then sat up and observed her surroundings, examining the room she was in.
Beside the bed sat a cotton doll of a two-dimensional character.
The surroundings were pink, with walls full of girlish charm.
On the walls hung various photos of Bai Yurou—ones from when she was little participating in a guzheng competition, ones of the family of five traveling in Europe, and graduation photos taken after high school.
At the same time, several posters of beautiful two-dimensional girls were also stuck on the walls.
They were all the two-dimensional characters Bai Yurou had liked the most before the accident.
The room also had a desk, which was covered with various study supplies.
A few books were also placed on the desk.
Beside the desk stood a bookshelf, filled entirely with various two-dimensional acrylic stands and merch.
Bai Yurou knew this was her own room.
Her former self truly lived up to being a veteran otaku.
The entire room was filled with two-dimensional elements.
She remembered that besides the main room, her room also had two smaller rooms.
One was a washroom for washing up, and the other was a walk-in closet for makeup and changing clothes, filled with expensive cosmetics and various brand-name bags and clothes.
So how had she returned to her own room?
She only remembered being discharged from the hospital, then getting into Uncle Zhao’s car with her parents. She had no impression of what happened after that.
As a result, she had actually fallen asleep. When she woke up, she was already back in this familiar yet unfamiliar room of hers.
She discovered that her clothes had also been changed.
She was no longer wearing the hospital gown from the hospital, but a pink-and-white set of pajamas.
It was probably Mom who changed them, Bai Yurou thought.
Bai Yurou got out of bed, put on the little bear slippers that had been specially placed beside the bed, and left the room.
Bai Yurou’s room was on the second floor of the Bai family’s main house.
The Bai family’s main house had a total of three floors and a basement.
The first floor contained the living room, kitchen, study, her parents’ room, and the room of the housekeeper, Mama Wang.
Her father and older brother would sometimes work in the study.
The second floor was the rooms of the three Bai siblings.
The third floor contained various entertainment rooms, such as the recording studio Bai Mo had requested to be set up for her own music creation at home, the gym Bai Sihan used for exercise, the fully equipped but long-unused esports room, and so on.
The basement level contained the home theater and mahjong room, as well as an indoor table tennis table.
In Bai Yurou’s memories, she had never gone to a cinema to watch a movie from childhood to adulthood.
The Bai family could always obtain the latest film sources before the theaters.
Whatever Bai Yurou wanted to watch, she watched in their own home theater.
The atmosphere was not inferior to that of a cinema.
The moment Bai Yurou went downstairs, she saw her father and mother sitting together in the living room watching television.
They were watching a music program that her older sister Bai Mo had recently recorded.
It was the program that had originally allowed Bai Mo to take the championship and incidentally become popular nationwide.
Bai Mo had been invited to become a mentor for the newest season.
The day Bai Yurou was discharged was the day Bai Mo had gone to record that program.
“Rourou is awake. Mom saw you sleeping so soundly in the car that she didn’t wake you. After we got home, she carried you back to your own room and also changed your clothes.”
Zhou Wanting noticed Bai Yurou coming downstairs, stopped watching the program, and stared at her own daughter as she spoke.
Because of her frailty, Bai Yurou’s figure had always been very petite, so even Zhou Wanting could easily carry her treasured daughter away.
“Just in time. Mama Wang is about to finish preparing dinner. Rourou just woke up and can eat right away.”
The Bai family did not have too many servants. They only employed one housekeeper, Mama Wang, who was normally responsible for cooking, cleaning the house, and taking care of the frail third young miss.
Mama Wang’s seniority in the Bai family was also very long.
Before Zhou Wanting married into the Bai family, she had always been the housekeeper responsible for taking care of Zhou Wanting, and had later followed Zhou Wanting to the Bai family.
Bai Yuan had started from scratch, so he was not accustomed to employing too many people. Therefore, over so many years, the Bai family had only Mama Wang as a housekeeper.
Just then, Mama Wang carried a pot of chicken soup out from the kitchen and placed it on the dining table.
Mama Wang was in her fifties or sixties. Her graying hair was pinned behind her ears with wire clips.
Her skin was dark yellow and rough, yet a pair of large-knuckled hands covered in hard calluses had been washed completely clean.
“Third Young Miss, you’re awake.”
Mama Wang saw Bai Yurou and revealed a simple, honest smile.
“Just in time. I heard the Third Young Miss was just discharged, so I specially stewed chicken soup for you. Quickly try some and nourish your body.”
Mama Wang was divorced and had no children of her own, so she had always treated the well-behaved and good-looking third young miss Bai Yurou as her own daughter while taking care of her.
“Thank you, Mama Wang.”
Following her former memories, Bai Yurou expressed her gratitude to Mama Wang in a soft tone.
Then she walked over to the dining table, found a chair, and sat down.
On the dining table, besides the chicken soup Mama Wang had just stewed, there were also other abundant dishes.
Steamed sea bass, sweet-and-sour spare ribs, braised large prawns……
For Bai Yurou, who had grown accustomed to light food in the hospital these past few days, this meal was already quite sumptuous.
On the other side, Zhou Wanting and Bai Yuan also stopped watching the program and came to eat.
According to routine, Bai Yurou first took her medicine.
Even after being discharged, she still had to keep taking medicine every day.
Then Zhou Wanting first ladled a bowl of chicken soup for Bai Yurou.
Bai Yurou picked up the soup and sipped it in small mouthfuls.
The broth was rich and golden.
The moment it entered her mouth, the freshness was so intense it felt like her eyebrows were about to melt.
The fragrance of chicken fat mixed with the sweetness of slow stewing over a long fire, warming her all the way from her throat down to her stomach.
As expected of Mama Wang, who had cooked for a wealthy family for many years.
Even the most ordinary chicken soup could be made this delicious.
“Rourou, have another prawn.”
Zhou Wanting spoke as she picked up a prawn with her chopsticks and placed it in Bai Yurou’s bowl.
“Thank you, Mom.”
Bai Yurou continued maintaining her well-behaved daughter persona and thanked her mother.
During this meal, Zhou Wanting picked quite a few dishes for Bai Yurou, and Bai Yurou obediently finished them all.
At least it’s not like in the hospital where Mom personally fed me.
Bai Yurou thought.
On the other side, Bai Yuan had not spoken throughout this meal.
He only quietly watched the interaction between mother and daughter.
“I’m finished eating. I’m going over to Sihan’s side to take a look.”
Bai Yuan finished eating first and said to Zhou Wanting, then stood up to leave.
“Can’t Sihan handle it himself? Does it need you to go over personally?”
Zhou Wanting asked with concern, her gaze unconsciously drifting toward Bai Yurou.
“No. I trust Sihan’s ability, but if I go, it will be completed faster.”
Bai Yuan replied.
“Oh… then take care of your health.”
Zhou Wanting heard her husband’s reply and did not say anything more.
“Rourou, Dad is going to work. Remember to rest early.”
Before leaving, Bai Yuan stroked Bai Yurou’s head and said.
“Mm. Dad, work smoothly.”
Bai Yurou replied.
From listening to her parents’ conversation, it should be that her older brother had some work matters, and her father was not at ease, so he was going to help?
However, for some reason, looking at her parents’ tones and the worried gaze her mother unconsciously directed toward her while chatting, she always felt that the matters her father and older brother were handling had something to do with her.
But since the family members did not want her to know, she would not ask further.
She only needed to be the well-behaved daughter in the eyes of her parents and older siblings. That was enough.
