Fulfill Her This Little Wish

While Xiaowan was taking oxygen, Su Yang looked up at the girl in front of him.

The first time he saw this girl, he had been momentarily stunned, but the situation was urgent then, and he hadn't had time to look closely.

Now that Xiaowan had woken up and the problem was likely not serious, he took this moment to carefully examine the girl before him.

She was wearing a white cotton coat, with slightly wavy black long hair cascading down her shoulders.

She had a slender figure and delicate features—an oval face, willow-leaf eyebrows, and large eyes. Although her facial features weren't quite on par with Meng Qianyu and the others, they weren't far off either. Overall, she gave off a fragile, pitiable feeling.

[Li Muhan meets the binding criteria. Bind?]

—Not now.

After silently replying in his mind, Su Yang looked at Li Muhan.

At that moment, Meng Qianyu and the others also walked over, gathering around Xiaowan, gently patting her back to help her catch her breath.

Su Qingci asked with concern, "Little sister, did you hurt yourself anywhere? Are you in pain anywhere?"

Xiaowan, holding the oxygen bottle, shook her head at Su Qingci.

While the girls were talking to Xiaowan, Su Yang turned to Li Muhan and asked, "Miss, are you this little sister's older sister?"

Hearing Su Yang's question, Li Muhan finally turned her head and nodded hurriedly in response.

"Yes, big brother. I'm sorry, I was too panicked and haven't had a chance to thank you yet. Thank you for helping and saving Xiaowan just now. I really don't know how to repay you, I... I'll kowtow to you."

Before Su Yang could react, Li Muhan actually knelt upright, preparing to bend over and kowtow to him.

Seeing this, Su Yang quickly reached out to support her shoulders. "What are you doing, miss! There's no need for that. It was just a simple act for me. Let's first see how Xiaowan is doing."

Li Muhan looked up at Su Yang. "O-okay, big brother."

The two turned to look at Xiaowan, who was still taking oxygen. Finally, a bit of color had returned to her pale face.

Su Yang gently patted Xiaowan's head and asked softly, "Xiaowan, are you feeling better now? You don't need to speak, just nod or shake your head."

Xiaowan looked at Su Yang and nodded her little head.

"Does your arm hurt?" Su Yang gently squeezed Xiaowan's left and right arms.

Xiaowan shook her head.

"What about your legs?"

Xiaowan shook her head again.

"That's good." Su Yang felt the thick clothes Xiaowan was wearing. It seemed the padding had provided some cushioning.

After everyone had asked about Xiaowan's condition for about two minutes,

Su Yang asked Li Muhan again, "What's your name, miss?"

"Big brother, my name is Li Muhan."

"I'm probably a few years older than you, so I'll call you Muhan."

"Okay, big brother."

"My name is Su Yang. You can call me Brother Yang."

"Mhm, okay, Brother Yang."

"What exactly happened just now?"

Li Muhan looked at Xiaowan, her face full of guilt. "I brought Xiaowan to play in the snow mountains. I bought her an oxygen bottle at the foot of the mountain earlier, but after coming up, her condition wasn't good, and she kept needing oxygen."

"I saw she wasn't doing well and wanted to take her back down, but she's always wanted to see the highest point of the snow mountain, so I..."

"I shouldn't have let her go up. I was holding her hand the whole time, but when we were more than halfway up, the crowd was too dense and we got separated by accident. Then, I guess her oxygen had already run out, and the continuous lack of oxygen plus the exhaustion from climbing the stairs caused her to faint."

"And then you saw what happened. Ultimately, I still have to thank you, Brother Yang, for stepping in to help. Otherwise, I really don't know..."

As Li Muhan spoke to this point, Su Yang interrupted, "It's nothing. Since I happened to see it, of course I had to help."

"But..." Su Yang raised an eyebrow slightly as he looked at Li Muhan, thinking to himself, 'This girl probably didn't tell the whole story. Her hands kept fidgeting with the hem of her clothes the whole time she was talking.'

—System, scan this little girl.

[Chen Xiaowan, Age: 11]

[Height: 140cm]

[Weight: 32kg]

[Constitution: 50]

[Characteristics: Poor Health, Terminal Stomach Cancer]

—What??

Seeing this information, Su Yang thought for a moment and roughly understood why Li Muhan hadn't told the whole story. Anyone would hesitate to casually reveal something like that.

As for why Li Muhan would bring Xiaowan here despite her cancer, there must be her own reasons. Su Yang felt it wasn't his place to pry.

He looked at Li Muhan and continued, "Muhan, after Xiaowan recovers a bit, you should still take her down the mountain first. Get her checked at the hospital. She's not in any condition to keep climbing now."

Tears welled up in Li Muhan's eyes as she nodded.

However, upon hearing this, Xiaowan removed the oxygen bottle and said in a voice still tinged with childishness, "Big brother, I want to go up the mountain."

Su Yang smiled and shook his head. "Xiaowan, you just fell. You might have hurt your bones. You can't climb anymore. How about going back to see a doctor first and coming again next time?"

"That's right, Xiaowan. You're still young. You'll have plenty of chances to come back in the future. Let's go down the mountain and see a doctor first, okay?" Meng Qianyu stroked Xiaowan's cheek and smiled.

Xiaowan shook her head. "No. If I go down now, I might not get another chance to come."

Hearing this, the tears Li Muhan had been holding back finally spilled over, tracing down her fair cheeks. Afraid Su Yang would see, she quickly turned her head to discreetly wipe them away.

Su Yang looked at Xiaowan and smiled. "Xiaowan, be good. You need to go to the hospital to get checked now."

"I'm not in pain, see~" As she spoke, Xiaowan quickly stood up, spreading her arms and smiling.

Li Muhan hurriedly supported her. "Xiaowan, take it easy."

"Let's listen to this big brother, okay? Go down the mountain with your sister first to get checked. If everything's fine, I'll bring you back tomorrow."

Xiaowan shook her head. "No. We need to save money now. The cable car tickets are really expensive. So I want to go up now. Look, sister, we're almost there!" She turned and pointed towards the viewing platform at the summit.

"But..." Li Muhan was about to say something more.

Su Yang had already silently picked up on the key words in Xiaowan's statement. He interjected, "How about this, Xiaowan? I'll carry you up to take a look and snap a photo, and then you go down the mountain with your sister, okay?"

Hearing this, a sweet, obedient smile instantly appeared on Xiaowan's adorable face. "Mhm, okay! Thank you, big brother!"

"You're welcome."

"Brother Yang, this is too much trouble for you. I should just take her down." As she spoke, she took Xiaowan's hand, ready to leave.

Su Yang sighed and said, "It's really no trouble, Muhan. I'll carry her; she won't have to walk herself. It's not far from the summit now. Let's fulfill her little wish."

Li Muhan stopped, turned around, and looked at Su Yang with a complicated expression in her eyes.

Su Yang gave her a nod and a smile. Then, slightly bending, he came to Xiaowan's side and crouched down. "Xiaowan, hop on. I'll carry you."

Xiaowan agreed cheerfully and climbed onto Su Yang's back.

Su Yang hoisted Chen Xiaowan onto his back and looked at Meng Qianyu and the others. "I'll take her up first. You all keep climbing."

"Okay, Brother Su Yang."

Li Muhan quickly stepped forward. "Thank you for the trouble, Brother Yang."

"No trouble at all. It's on my way."
