I Don't Want to Be Turned Into the Female Protagonist by the System Chapter 623 : Little Jiu Yue Has Woken Up
On the night of January 18th, 11 pm, in a luxurious residence next to the outdoor stalls, Lu Ran gently held her precious daughter, who had cried herself to sleep, in her arms.
Seeing Su Qi's eyebrows unconsciously furrowing, Lu Ran felt a pang of heartache.
As she reached out and gently smoothed those furrowed brows, Lu Ran's thoughts slowly drifted back to that autumn 13 years ago.
The autumn of 2012 was a rare cold one.
Because of the chill, Lu Ran, feeling sorry for her parents, took them, along with Su Lujun who was on vacation and 5-year-old Su Qi who hadn't started elentary school yet, to the distant city of Hainan for a holiday.
Unlike Shanghai and Zhe Province, Hainan City had a distinct four-season climate.
Here, all four seasons were sumr, and even during the autumn season, the temperature remained high, making it very suitable for vacationing and recuperation.
Since it was a vacation, they would naturally stay for a short period.
So for convenience, after arriving in Hainan City, Lu Ran rented a three-bedroom, one-living room apartnt.
As it was a rental, there would always be so traces left behind by the previous tenants.
Lu Ran, who loved cleanliness, of course wouldn't allow these traces to remain.
So before moving their luggage into the room, she began a thorough cleaning.
After tidying up the room, just as Lu Ran was about to take so plastic bottles and waste paper shells and such to throw into the garbage bin outside, a crisp, girlish voice rang out...
"Auntie, can you give the bottles to Jiu Yue?"
Hearing the voice, Lu Ran first subconsciously looked ahead, but didn't see anyone.
However, when she lowered her gaze, she quickly spotted the little girl in a white dress who called herself Jiu Yue.
The little girl's white dress was very clean, but perhaps because it had been washed too many tis, so parts had already faded.
Moreover, upon closer inspection, one would find that the clothes weren't particularly well-fitting, seeming a bit small.
Seeing Lu Ran looking at her, the girl beca a bit shy and quickly hid her sowhat thin and small body behind the corner of the wall.
Her two little hands gripped the edge of the wall, and after a good while, she peeked out her little head.
She looked at the garbage bag in Lu Ran's hand with so anticipation.
Seeing such a cute little girl, Lu Ran waved at her and gently asked, "Your na is Little Jiu Yue?"
The little girl lying against the wall corner heard Lu Ran's words and first nodded, but then shook her head and said, "Not Little Jiu Yue, Auntie. My na is just Jiu Yue!"
Hearing the little girl's emphasis and seeing her adorable appearance, Lu Ran, who loved children, especially girls, found it extrely interesting.
After thinking for a mont, she waved at the little girl again and said, "Jiu Yue, co over to Auntie. Auntie not only has plastic bottles here, but also a lot of delicious food!"
Hearing about good things, Jiu Yue, who was at the wall corner, kept twisting her two short little hands together and lowered her little head, looking like she was thinking hard.
Children's heads tend to appear proportionally large when they are young, especially when they lower their heads, giving a very cute impression.
And because Jiu Yue was born thin and small, this action of lowering her head looked even softer and more adorable.
Coupled with her conflicted tugging at her fingers, Lu Ran felt she was simply too much cuter than her own stinky boys.
But just as she thought the sowhat poor Little Jiu Yue would be tempted by the delicious food, she saw the little girl raise her little head the next second and say, "Auntie, Jiu Yue can't take your things. Jiu Yue only wants what you don't want. Jiu Yue is not a beggar, you know!"
Although Little Jiu Yue's words sounded very proper, the saliva at the corner of her mouth revealed her true thoughts.
Seeing Little Jiu Yue's unconvincing appearance, Lu Ran found her incredibly cute.
She subconsciously wanted to go back to the room and take out so good food for the little girl.
But then Lu Ran realized a problem. If she went back inside, what if this shy little girl ran away?
So after so thought, she called Su Qi out and had her chat with Little Jiu Yue.
Friendships between children are always established very quickly. By the ti Lu Ran reappeared at the doorway with so snacks, she saw that the two little ones had already begun innocently chatting.
Because they were close in age, Su Qi and Jiu Yue quickly beca friends.
And every day after that, Little Jiu Yue would co in her little white dress to play with her Brother Su.
Lu Ran and Su Lujun, seeing their little son and the very like-minded Little Jiu Yue happily spending ti together every day, growing closer and closer, it was simply like the childhood sweethearts described in so novels.
After learning that Little Jiu Yue was an orphan, an idea suddenly arose in Lu Ran's mind at this ti.
That was to adopt Little Jiu Yue into their family to be the little wife of her son Su Qi.
This way, firstly, it could fulfill her regret of not having a daughter.
Secondly, it could secure a future wife for her sowhat introverted little son.
After all, how could future daughters-in-law from outside be as reassuring as one she personally raised?
Thinking of this, Lu Ran felt this decision was really wonderful.
Lu Ran was a woman of action, doing what she said.
Later, while Su Qi and Little Jiu Yue were playing, Lu Ran, with an adult's wisdom, easily guided Little Jiu Yue to believe she was Brother Su's little wife, and Su Qi also accepted Little Jiu Yue as his child bride.
With Lu Ran's guidance, the two innocent little ones beca closer and closer.
Everything was developing in a good direction, but the day before Lu Ran decided to go to the orphanage to handle the adoption procedures, an accident occurred.
At an intersection, a sedan wanted to rush through the yellow light.
And at this ti, a small truck that had just arrived from the other side failed to slow down in ti.
With a violent boom of impact, the out-of-control small truck crashed straight towards the two little ones waiting at the traffic light.
Su Qi and Little Jiu Yue were already trembling with fear when the collision occurred. At this mont, the two little ones, seeing the truck driving towards them out of control, could only tremble helplessly in each other's arms.
And in the second before the impact, Little Jiu Yue, from sowhere, mustered up strength and pushed Su Qi away.
When Lu Ran received the hospital's call and hurriedly rushed to the hospital, what she saw were the two little ones lying quietly on the hospital beds.
Because the two were very light in weight and small in size, neither suffered major external injuries, which allowed Lu Ran to breathe a big sigh of relief.
But what she didn't expect was that the girl, Little Jiu Yue, never opened her eyes again because of this accident.
The hospital's diagnosis was: Little Jiu Yue was in a special state of coma, unresponsive to external stimuli.
Putting it this way might be hard for many people to understand.
But to put it more simply, Little Jiu Yue had beco a so-called "vegetative state."
Afterwards, Su Qi, who had already accepted Little Jiu Yue as his little wife, seeing his Jiu Yue sister refusing to wake up, quickly fell into deep self-bla.
Because Su Qi believed that all of this was because he, as the older brother, had failed to protect his sister.
How much ntal resilience could a 5-year-old boy have?
Seeing Jiu Yue not waking up for a long ti, Su Qi quickly developed depression.
For a period after that, whenever anything related to September was ntioned, Su Qi would beco irritable and anxious.
In the end, it was through the counseling of a psychologist that he regained his health.
But because of this, Su Qi completely forgot his mories from when he was 5 years old.
Recalling this past, Lu Ran stroked the few strands of unruly hair on the forehead of her sleeping daughter, seeing Su Qi's sowhat uneasy appearance.
At this mont, Lu Ran was only worried that when her daughter woke up tomorrow and saw the still comatose Little Jiu Yue, would she develop that withdrawn depression again like when she was 5 years old?
Thinking of this, Lu Ran silently prayed in her heart, hoping that Little Jiu Yue in the hospital would wake up soon.
And at this ti, her cell phone suddenly lit up.
For fear of disturbing her daughter who had just fallen asleep, Lu Ran didn't look to see who was calling and just answered.
But as soon as she picked up the phone, she heard the other person say, "Little Jiu Yue, she's awake!"
