After waking up early in the morning, Lin Man and Cheng Yun rode to the hospital from City B. Just as Cheng Yun was on his way, he saw Lin Qingrou and the first thing he said was, "Where did you go? African tribes? "How come I haven't seen him for a few days and made myself look dark and thin?"
Lin Qingrou didn't want him to know about her injuries, so she told him about her trip to the desert. Of course, she intentionally left out the matter of Ye Qingming.
"Desert? If I knew you would have called me, I would have come. " Cheng Yun regretfully said.
Lin Qingrou said curiously, "Why do you guys always say that? If that's the case, then I'll bring you guys with me next time. Remember to give me some money."
Cheng Yun was puzzled. "Who else said that?"
Lin Qingrou looked out the window and replied, "Yuxi, this is the first thing she said when she knew I was going."
When Cheng Yun heard Liu Yuxi's name, he felt a cold breeze blow past his neck, and he couldn't help but shrink back.
"Why are you still so afraid of her?" Lin Qingrou laughed.
Cheng Yun said with disdain, "It's not fear, it's annoyance. That friend of yours is talking too much. I was dumb, so I couldn't avoid him. "
"Then the next time I see her, I'll have to properly pass on your words to her."
Cheng Yun was sitting in front. He turned his head to look at Lin Qingrou and asked, "Yesterday I already heard from my mother about your marriage. Your wedding date is set for next month?"
Lin Qingrou nodded.
Cheng Yun's eyes slowly dimmed as he replied listlessly, "Oh."
Lin Qingrou knew what he was thinking, so she consoled him, "Don't be like this, otherwise I won't be able to get married."
Cheng Yun thought for a moment, then asked, "Then before you get married, do you still want to see uncle?"
Lin Qingrou froze for a moment. The 'uncle' that Cheng Yun had mentioned was her own father. Of course she remembered him. However, she had basically already become sand in the eyes of Quan Wei and Ye Qingzhi. She couldn't afford to make any mistakes.
Therefore, she said perfunctorily, "Yes, I will. I'll go see him sometime when I get back. "
After arriving at the hospital, Cheng Yun and Lin Qingrou followed their usual routine. They first placed a few bags of things into the aunt's room, then went to the garden to look for her.
Sure enough, Cheng Yun immediately saw the familiar back figure sitting by the lake. He first shouted, "Aunt! I've come to see you! "
That back didn't have any reaction as he sat there motionlessly.
Lin Qingrou smiled disappointedly, "I'm still the same as ever. I wonder when aunt will be able to meet someone like this. You've called out to her every time you came here over the years, and she's always answered you this way in silence. "
"Fortunately, she can read and write. I saw her keep a diary! " At this moment, a person suddenly appeared behind Lin Qingrou.
Lin Qingrou turned to look, and immediately said with relief, "Nurse Zheng, you're here too."
Nurse Zheng had been taking care of Aunt the entire time, so she understood Aunt more than anyone else, even more than Cheng Yun's parents.
"I know about keeping a diary, but I've never seen it," she told her. To tell you the truth, I was really taken aback the first time I heard about it. "
Cheng Yun turned around and said, "What do you guys think my aunt would write if she were to write a diary? Every day she just looked at the scenery and read books. Do you even know how to write novels? "
Nurse Zheng shook her head, but she said expectantly, "Although we don't know what she's thinking, it's still a good performance no matter what. At the very least, she had an outlet to vent her anger. Otherwise, she will only get more and more sick. "
Nurse Lin Manshou and Sister Zheng sat on the other side of the table. She asked worriedly, "Do you think you can still treat Aunt's illness? She's been like this since I first came to see her when I was seven. He was silent and expressionless. Joy, anger, sorrow, pain, grief, and sorrow, she is all like that. "
Nurse Zheng looked at her aunt as she said to Lin. "Regarding her illness, I think I'm more worried about her first." Heart knot, must open up the heart knot, can see a little hope. In our common saying, she had shut herself up in a world of her own imagination. Perhaps in her world, there was no one she hated, only happiness and happiness. That's why she chose to avoid reality and not face her family and friends in the real world. "
Looking at the scene of Cheng Yun reading with his aunt, Lin Qingrou repeated in a low voice, "My own world? What would Aunt's world be like? "Will it be so beautiful?"
She couldn't help but suggest, "Maybe we can find some clues in her diary? Would she put her grievances on it? "
Nurse Zheng shrugged and said matter-of-factly, "Do you think we've never tried this method? At that time we stole a copy of her diary, and it was only from the beginning to the end that she wrote either the date of the day or the weather of the day. "As for the rest, not one more word."
When Cheng Yun heard this, he smiled and said, "That's why I feel that it's better to just forget about it." Currently, his aunt wasn't in any abnormal condition. Maybe she would be happy while immersed in her own beautiful world. If one day she comes back and has to face the reality, then maybe it will actually harm her. "
Lin Man and Nurse Zheng nodded in agreement. Perhaps, letting her live in a beautiful world was the best solution.
Lin Qingrou stood up and walked over to her aunt's side. After that, she crouched down beside her and said, "Aunt, I came here this time to tell you something."
When Cheng Yun saw this, he tactfully stood up and moved to the side, leaving the two of them some space.
"I'm going to be married next month," she told her. Maybe this marriage wasn't what I wanted. But I had to, because that was the only way I could achieve what I really wanted. I know that the Ye Family members are not simple characters, but for my dad, I must do this. Otherwise, how could he be able to rest peacefully in the netherworld? "
The aunt listened to Lin Qingrou's words expressionlessly. From beginning to end, she maintained the same posture with her hands folded on her knees, quietly and gracefully sitting on a chair. It was as if she had never changed in the past ten or so years. Even though her face had begun to wrinkle, it was as if it were a sign of life, not proof of aging.
Lin Manrou thought, maybe Nurse Zheng was right. Aunt was immersed in her own world day after day. There were no disputes or grudges, only peace and harmony. So, when a person only faces perfection every day, how can she become old and haggard?
When Cheng Yun and the others left the hospital, Nurse Zheng escorted them to the entrance of the hospital.
Lin Qingrou said to her, "Please go back quickly. The weather is cold right now, so you shouldn't stand outside for too long."
After so many years of being together, it was as if they had already become family.
Nurse Zheng smiled and nodded. She tightened her clothes around her body, but in the end, she still stood at the intersection and watched them leave.
At this time, Lin Qingrou said to Cheng Yun, "I'll be going straight home later. I won't be eating dinner with you. Are you still busy with your clients every day? "
Cheng Yun nodded his head, "This time it's really going to end soon. I think it'll be next week! Although it's a bit tiring, we still have to pay a lot, so I think it's still pretty good. "
He asked again, "Are you no longer living in your own house?"
"Mm …" He moved to his house half a month ago. " Lin Qingrou said embarrassedly.
Cheng Yun was still worried. He urged again, "If anything happens, you must give me a call! From what I see, you are definitely not his match. You might be bullied by his family if you don't pay attention. "
Lin Qingrou said helplessly, "What are you worried about? What you need to do now is quickly settle your customers, get the money to buy a set of handsome clothes, and wear them to my wedding." "OK?"
Cheng Yun chuckled and nodded, "That's for sure, I won't lose face for you!"
After all, Cheng Yun was the one who had made a sports coat and attended the wedding of his classmates. That was why Lin Qingrou could not believe what he had said. She was afraid that he would be wearing strange clothes on her wedding day.
By the time Lin Qingrou got home, it was already 6 o'clock at night. When she returned home, she saw that the door to Ye Qingming's study was tightly shut, so she thought that he was not at home. Therefore, she simply stretched herself and lazily sat on the sofa. She sized up the living room and kitchen while thinking about what she should do if she didn't have dinner.
After a while, Ye Qingming came out of the study after watching the video. He saw a magazine on her leg and a bag of chips beside her.
"How are you home!?" Lin Qingrou asked in surprise before tossing the chips into the trash can.
Ye Qingming looked at her, then looked at the trash can and explained, "I was watching a video just now and I was wearing my headphones so I didn't know you were back. You didn't see the note I left in the kitchen? "
Lin Qingrou shook her head. She had never been to the kitchen since she came back, so how would she know what he had written?
Ye Qingming had no choice but to show the note to her.
"Dinner is in the fridge. Remember to eat after it gets hot."
Lin Qingrou looked at it and finally blushed. "I didn't see it. It won't be like this next time."
Ye Qingming didn't answer. He just took out the dishes from the fridge and heated them one by one in the microwave before placing them on the table.
Seeing Lin Qingrou's unnatural look, Ye Qingming sighed, "If I start working again after a while and no one is home cooking, what will you do? Is it just eating French fries every day? "
Lin Manrou thought for a moment and said, "No, I'll be at work by the time you go to work." At that time, I will have the time to buy food and cook for myself. "
Ye Qingming asked worriedly, "But I don't really believe in your cooking."
Lin Manshou said in dissatisfaction, "Then I've prepared some food, don't eat it."
Ye Qingming smiled and reached out to rub the top of her head before saying, "I was just joking. Of course, whatever you do, I'll eat it."
Lin Qingrou looked at him with satisfaction. "Don't blame me for the accident. I'm only in charge of cooking." As she spoke, she opened the lid in front of her and a wave of hot and humid air mixed with the fragrance of the food rushed towards her. Her face was instantly warm, as if her pores had opened.
Finally, Lin Manrou smelled the fragrance of the dishes and said to Ye Qingming, "Why don't you cook? I definitely won't be able to do what you're doing. Without a comparison, there's no harm done. A second ago, I was quite confident. "
Ye Qingming smiled as he sat beside her. He used a pair of chopsticks to add some food to her bowl and asked, "Where did you go today? Seeing that you're not in a good mood when you return, "
Lin Qingrou took a rubber band from her wrist, tying her hair while saying, "I went to see a friend with my brother, but because she hasn't been feeling too well, she's in a bad mood." What's wrong with his hair? I can't get it back. "
Her injured hand was not strong enough, so it was much more difficult to tie up her hair.
When Ye Qingming saw this, he stood up and took the rubber band from her hand. Then, he carefully gathered the pieces of her hair behind her head and tied them together.
"Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt. Remember not to tie it too tightly, or you will lose your hair. Originally, my hair wasn't much."
"Fortunately, there is too much hair and too much trouble. "Not good."
"Three thousand threads of worry, and the doctor believes this? It's pretty literary. "
"I didn't believe it before, but now I do."
"What do you mean?"
"Alright, the hair problem has been resolved. Have a good meal."
Lin Qingrou came back to reality and asked excitedly, "You're done with it? So fast, it's quite comfortable. " She smiled and touched her hair.
Ye Qingming was afraid that it would be too boring for her to eat alone, so he took out his laptop and placed it on the table with her.
Lin Qingrou looked curiously over her shoulder when he wasn't paying attention.
"Ugh …" She could not help but retch.
"Why are you looking at this from the dining table!? "It's too bad about my appetite …"
Ye Qingming was speechless. He moved the laptop a few centimeters closer to him.
"I already told you not to look, I'm not here to take a look out of curiosity. This is all a video of the operation, and now you're suffering. "
Lin Qingrou was unwilling to accept this, but she could only look dispirited as she sat back in her seat and continued to eat.
Ye Qingming stole a glance at her. Seeing that she was eating the food in her bowl like chewing wax, he could not help but ask, "What's wrong? Was he provoked? "
Lin Manmei put her chopsticks aside with a "pa" sound, then moved her chair next to him and put her hand on the table.
"What?"
"I'll watch it with you!" "I'm not eating anymore."
"Stop fooling around, listen to me. Eat the rice first and then we'll see."
"No, I'll read it with you after I'm done." In case you look down on me for this next time. "
"Alright then, you look good, don't scream."
Thus, at dinner time, the two of them abandoned the matter of eating dinner and sat in front of the computer together, focusing on watching the surgical video. The light from the computer screen flickered with the camera, causing Lin Manshui's face to darken and turn white. She watched for half an hour, not screaming, but often feeling sick in her stomach.
Finally, after three and a half hours of surgery, when Ye Qingming was ready to clean up the table, he realized that Lin Qingrou had fallen asleep on his back with her hand covering half of her face.
