God's Gift

Xiaoou's words made Lu Keming's voice choke. He always felt that this speaking style sounded familiar.

But Lu Keming didn't think much about it. He pursed his lips in silence, then looked at Yu Youyou, and quickly put on a smile as if changing his face. He said to Youyou in a gentle voice:

"Yuyu, have breakfast."

"Okay!" Yu Youyou slid down from the sofa, threw the apple core into the trash can beside her, and skillfully stretched out her hand to let Lu Keming wipe the apple juice off her fingers, while asking Xiaoou:

“Why don’t animals need qualities?”

Xiaoou quickly replied: "For animals, foraging is their nature. They don't have high-level spiritual pursuits like humans. Filling their stomachs is the meaning of their lives."

"Until the most basic food needs are met, order and decorum cannot exist."

"That seems to be the case." Yu Youyou nodded. Except for humans, other animals are not bound by moral etiquette, and all their actions are based on their biological instinct to forage for food.

Yu Youyou raised her eyes and thought for a while, then added: "Then I'm different, I'm a well-educated fish!"

She is no ordinary fish.

She can eat her fill every day and never has to worry about being hungry. As long as she opens her mouth, small fish will come into her mouth on their own. She doesn't have to worry about food needs at all.

So she filled her stomach, which was good fish with quality.

Xiaoou listened to Yu Youyou talking about fish again, but her eyes were a little confused: "Are you delusional? Why do you think you are a fish and you think you can understand what the fish say?"

"What kind of paranoia?" Yu Youyou immediately shook her head, "I don't have it. I just understand it."

Lu Keming had a calm expression. He was not surprised by Yu Youyou's answer. He had already gotten used to the situation.

When he didn't know the situation well before, he often thought that Youyou's way of speaking and acting was nonsense. But even though she talked nonsense every day, no one doubted her human identity. After all, who would have thought that there really was a human who was actually a fish?

Xiaoou, however, had a serious expression on his face. Looking at Yu Youyou's matter-of-fact look, he became even more certain that the person in front of him had delusions, and his condition seemed to be serious.

But she did not have any other thoughts about Youyou, nor was she afraid of Youyou.

On the contrary, Xiaoou hopes that Yu Youyou can stay in this villa for a longer period of time.

After all, Yu Youyou was the only person who was willing to patiently listen to her share about seagulls, and she could also tell her stories that were not recorded in books.

Xiaoou picked at her fingers. After going through a difficult decision, she finally decided to pretend that she hadn't noticed anything. "I know."

"Okay." Yu Youyou nodded, walked a few steps to the dining table and sat down, picked up the bread and took a big bite, and said to Lu Keming with a smile: "It's delicious!"

Lu Keming pulled out a chair and sat beside her. He propped up his head and watched Yu Youyou eat deliciously. His eyes were focused. "As long as it tastes good, that's fine."

His eyes fell on Yu Youyou, and for some reason, he suddenly remembered that Youyou said that she was a well-educated fish.

He curved his eyes and poured a cup of warm milk for Yu Youyou, his mind unconsciously recalling the past with Yu Youyou.

If we talk about quality, is Youyou considered to be a person with good qualities?

Thinking of the funny scenes of her taking bird eggs, catching insects, and bullying small animals, Lu Keming's eyes brightened with a smile and the curve of his mouth deepened.

Probably not.

But why didn’t he realize that Youyou was so cute at that time?

Lu Keming looked at Yu Youyou intently. After a night of satisfaction, his gentle and charming gaze turned into water, and his smile was like ripples on the water, spreading out in circles.

Yu Youyou felt the gazes falling on her becoming increasingly fiery. She stopped eating voraciously, still biting half a piece of bread in her mouth, and looked up at Lu Keming.

Why was Lu Keming looking at her like that?

Yu Youyou blinked her eyes, looked around herself, and suddenly took out the bread she was biting and quickly stuffed it into Lu Keming's mouth, with a clear and bright voice:

"You eat too!"

Lu Keming was still in a daze, his eyes fixed on Youyou's face, but he still subconsciously took the bread handed to him by Youyou with his mouth and took a bite obediently.

The bread bitten by Youyou seemed to become sweeter.

Those beautiful eyes, with a smile on their faces, kept staring at Yu Youyou until she finished her breakfast.

When Yu Youyou stood up and left the table, Lu Keming came back to his senses. He took Yu Youyou's hand, led her to the door of the villa, squeezed her soft palm, and said reluctantly:

"Youyou, today I plan to go to the area near the first ring to investigate the situation."

"Okay." Yu Youyou said seriously without any hesitation: "Then go ahead."

"Okay." Lu Keming nodded, "Then you stay in the villa and wait for others to come. Don't worry about me, I will be fine."

"Got it." Yu Youyou was not worried. Anyway, the giant beasts outside would definitely not be able to hurt Lu Keming. She said in a relaxed voice, "Then come back early."

"Yeah." Lu Keming responded, but did not leave immediately. He just continued to hold Yu Youyou's hand. His long eyelashes trembled, and no one knew what he was thinking.

After hesitating for a moment, he quickly leaned over and gave Yu Youyou a kiss on the cheek. Then he said goodbye to Yu Youyou with satisfaction and left the villa happily.

Yu Youyou watched Lu Keming's back as he walked away, raised her hand to touch the place where Lu Keming kissed her, and blinked twice.

After a long while, Yu Youyou turned around as if nothing had happened and skipped towards the house.

Xiaoou had finished his breakfast long ago and was now sitting on a blanket with a pile of books beside him, reading attentively.

When Yu Youyou walked into the villa with a brisk pace and humming a song, Xiaoou's attention was quickly attracted by her. She looked up at Yu Youyou, not understanding why she suddenly became so happy.

But Xiaoou didn't ask anything and soon buried his head in reading again.

Yu Youyou shook her head, sat down next to Xiaoou, and picked up a book: "I want to read a book too."

Xiaoou glanced at Yu Youyou and did not refuse.

But she soon realized that she had made a wrong choice.

Because Yu Youyou was not a person who was content with what she was doing. She would change her posture from time to time when sitting on the wool blanket. She would lose her patience after reading only a few pages of a book and would soon open all the books in the pile.

It would be fine if Yu Youyou read them by herself, but the books Xiaoou read were all about medicine and popular science, and she couldn't understand them, so she kept asking Xiaoou questions like a hundred thousand whys.

“What is a tumor?”

Xiaoou didn't read the book and answered without thinking:

“A tumor is a new organism formed by the proliferation of local tissue cells under the action of various tumorigenic factors.”

"Generally, they can be divided into benign tumors and malignant tumors. Malignant tumors, also known as cancer, grow rapidly and invasively. They can spread to other parts of the body through the blood or lymphatic system and can recur, causing great harm to the body. For example, lung cancer can invade surrounding tissues and may spread to organs such as the liver and brain."

Yu Youyou seemed to understand, but she continued to ask, "Then what is lung cancer?"

Her question was extremely simple to Xiaoou, and the answer came to him immediately:

"Lung cancer is a common malignant tumor that occurs in the lungs. In the early stages, patients have mild symptoms and a relatively high survival rate. In the middle stages, symptoms worsen, and the five-year survival rate is about 5%-30%."

"Patients with advanced lung cancer will experience a variety of serious symptoms, including severe coughing, massive hemoptysis, dyspnea, rapid weight loss, fatigue, body aches, etc. If cancer cells metastasize to the brain, it can cause headaches, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and even impaired consciousness; metastasis to bones can cause bone pain and fractures. The five-year survival rate is low, generally below 5%."

"Ah..." Yu Youyou nodded thoughtfully. It turned out that the disease Su Yun had was called lung cancer.

She was quiet for a while, flipping through the book, and soon asked Xiaoou dozens of questions.

After Yu Youyou asked Xiaoou about lung cancer for the tenth time, Xiaoou stopped answering and opened a book next to him. He skillfully turned to a page and placed it in front of Yu Youyou.

Yu Youyou looked down and found the words "ADHD" clearly written on the page.

Yu Youyou was silent for a few seconds. When Xiaoou thought that Yu Youyou would understand that this was referring to her, Yu Youyou looked up again and asked sincerely: "What is ADHD?"

Xiao Ou was silent for a few seconds. For the first time, she understood why those people were unwilling to listen to her share about Ou Bird.

Her eyes fell on the page and her voice was dull: "Let's do something else."

"Okay!" Yu Youyou immediately put down the book, "Then let's play a game!"

Xiaoou looked elsewhere and asked Yu Youyou: "What game?"

"What should we play?" Yu Youyou lifted her chin and carefully recalled the games she would play when she was still a little fish. Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind: "Let's play house!"

Xiaoou knew this game, a game that other children of her age often played when they got together, but in the past they were unwilling to play with a strange child like her.

She was silent for a moment, then asked, "What role do I play?"

"You must be my daughter." Yu Youyou answered without thinking, and proudly puffed out her chest, saying in a firm tone: "I will be your mother!"
