Because of fear, one wants to escape. Gu Xingyi could understand Ren Xiaoyao's feelings.

But reality doesn't work that way. Can you really avoid facing things just because you're afraid? The consequence of avoidance is just dragging things out, and the result of dragging things out will only get worse and worse!

"Nini... What did the hospital say about this illness? Is there no hope for recovery?"

Gu Xingyi didn't dwell on Ren Xiaoyao's issues any longer and directly asked.

The situation was already like this, so there was no point in continuing to struggle. They could only face it with the greatest effort, no matter the outcome.

"Neurological diseases are very hard to treat. The doctor said that this condition requires ongoing conservative treatment along with daily guidance. As for recovery, we can only hope for a miracle."

"Then there's still hope, and a miracle is hope."

As soon as Ren Xiaoyao finished speaking, Gu Xingyi directly responded. He paused for a moment, then looked up at Gu Xingyi.

He wanted more than anyone for his daughter to get better, but he was also more afraid than anyone of a bad outcome.

But now, he looked at the man in front of him.

His face was serious in a way he'd never seen before, as if he firmly believed that a miracle would eventually come.

This completely affected Ren Xiaoyao's heart, and for the first time, he felt a sense of hope rising in his heart.

So this is the charm of Gu Xingyi!

At this point, Xia Xiyao and Tao Lele had already returned with Xiao Nainai. As soon as they got out of the car, they noticed the awkward atmosphere.

Xia Xiyao looked at Gu Xingyi in confusion. When she saw the heavy expressions on their faces, her almond-shaped eyes were full of concern.

"Papa! Hug!"

It was Xiao Nainai's innocent voice that broke the heavy silence. She climbed off Xia Xiyao and, with her little short legs, ran to Gu Xingyi's side, looking up at him with her small face.

The sweet smile on her face eased the hearts of both Gu Xingyi and Ren Xiaoyao.

"Ah! Papa hug! Nainai! How about we go play with Nini-meimei today?"

Gu Xingyi crouched down, picked up his precious daughter, and gently rubbed her little nose, asking with a doting smile.

"Okay! Nainai wants to play with Nini-meimei!"

"Alright! Xiaoyao-ge, let's go now!"

Gu Xingyi ruffled Xiao Nainai's head and, holding her, spoke to Ren Xiaoyao, then walked over to the others and briefly said something.

Although the others didn't know exactly what had happened, they understood that Gu Xingyi had something to do, so they all nodded in agreement.

So, Gu Xingyi and his family of three followed Ren Xiaoyao's car to his house. On the way, Xia Xiyao also learned about Nini's condition, which made her feel sad.

She never expected that the little girl with such a cute face would be suffering from such a rare illness. It was like an angel that had fallen to Earth, making people feel heartbroken.

The car soon arrived at Ren Xiaoyao's home. The door opened to reveal a small room, barely fifty square meters.

Nini was sitting quietly on the sofa, watching TV. On the screen, Xiao Nainai was singing A Burst of Courage.

Hearing the sound, Nini turned her head and smiled sweetly when she saw Ren Xiaoyao, calling out "Papa." Every time she lost her memory, she would forget, but she would quickly accept Ren Xiaoyao again.

When Gu Xingyi, holding Xiao Nainai's hand, walked in, Nini first shrank behind Ren Xiaoyao in fear, but when she saw Xiao Nainai, her eyes suddenly lit up.

The two little angels locked eyes and smiled. Just then, Nini did something that no one expected.

She suddenly let go of Ren Xiaoyao's hand, quickly ran back to her small room.

When she came out again, she was holding a small cake. She walked up to Xiao Nainai, her face filled with anticipation, and handed the cake to her. Her soft voice rang out.

"I'll treat you to some cake. It's very sweet."

This was the first thing Nainai had said when she first met her.

But even though she had forgotten everything, when she met Xiao Nainai again, the first thing she said was to return the favor and treat Xiao Nainai to cake.

Perhaps, deep in her subconscious, she still remembered that she wanted to let this favorite little jiejie of hers eat such a sweet cake.

At that moment, Ren Xiaoyao turned his face away, his eyes already a little moist.

Gu Xingyi and Xia Xiyao felt like their hearts were suddenly tightened, filled with a deep sense of bitterness.

Xiao Nainai's face lit up with a joyful smile. The little one still didn't understand what had happened, but when she saw Nini handing over the cake, her big eyes became crescent-shaped with happiness.

"Thank you, Nini-meimei, let's eat together."

Seeing Xiao Nainai happily take the cake and pull her hand, Nini's eyes also curved up in a smile.

The two little ones became good friends again, holding hands as they walked over to the little sofa and sat down. The TV was still playing the song "A Burst of Courage" sung by Xiao Nainai.

Nainai took a bite of the cake and then affectionately fed Nini a bite. The room was immediately filled with the joyful laughter of the two little ones.

"Xiaoyao-ge, I don't know if Nini still remembers Nainai, but I know that no matter how many times it takes, she will fall in love with Nainai again, just like she can always quickly accept you. This is hope."

"At least, in her subconscious, there should be fragments of memories!"

Gu Xingyi looked at the two little ones playing together in front of the sofa and said seriously.

Ren Xiaoyao also looked at them and nodded silently, not saying anything.

In front of the sofa, Xiao Nainai had already stood up and was teaching Nini to sing "A Burst of Courage". She was teaching just like Gu Xingyi had taught her back then, carefully guiding her one line at a time.

   "Plant a seed in your heart, da la di da la~
   It can fulfill small wishes, with magical powers~
   ......"

Meanwhile, Nini clapped her hands joyfully, swaying her head in rhythm as she accompanied Xiao Nainai in the song.

In no time, both Xiao Nainai and Nini were singing together. Although Nini was still stumbling over the lyrics, Xiao Nainai patiently waited for her, like a little teacher.

"Xiaoyao-ge, I think we should take Nini to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow. No matter how much it costs, as long as there is even a glimmer of hope, we should continue the treatment. Also, whenever we have time, let's let Nini and Nainai play together. Nainai doesn't have any playmates, and Nini also needs Nainai."

Seeing how naturally close the two little ones were, Gu Xingyi spoke up again.

Ren Xiaoyao opened his mouth, struggling to say anything. The main reason Nini had been receiving conservative treatment was because the medical costs had already exhausted him.

And continued treatment would require astronomical fees.

For an ordinary family, this was an unattainable cost.

"Xiaoyao-ge, Nainai and Nini are so close. I've never seen Nainai like this, so fond of a little child. If possible, we would like to adopt Nini as our goddaughter."

At this point, Xia Xiyao also spoke up. She really liked Nini, and so did Xiao Nainai.

And seeing Ren Xiaoyao's expression and the environment he was living in, she understood what he must be thinking. If she and Gu Xingyi hadn't said this, Ren Xiaoyao, with his personality, would never have sought help on his own.

Hearing Gu Xingyi and Xia Xiyao's words, Ren Xiaoyao looked at Nini, who was happily sitting on the sofa, and finally nodded.

All these years, he had lived with guilt and self-blame. He hated that the heavens treated Nini this way, and he hated his own incompetence in being unable to take better care of her.

But after Xiao Nainai's appearance, and meeting Gu Xingyi and Xia Xiyao, he finally saw hope for the future.
