Chapter 707 A Fool and a Cripple

"A Ming."

Others couldn't hear what Shen Qing said, but Lu Tingchuan could understand it.

She called him "A Ming"

Shen Qing was as timid as a newly hatched bird, wanting to seek arms for protection, and she found this sense of security in front of Lu Tingchuan.

Shen Qing's condition was not right. Although she was dizzy after waking up, her five senses were gradually recovering, including hearing and vision. How could she mistake him for "Jiang Yiming"?

There is only one explanation, there is something wrong with her brain, and it is not a simple problem.

The doctor noticed something was wrong immediately and took Shen Qing to undergo a series of examinations, mainly on the brain.

During this time, Shen Qing was very scared. She followed Lu Tingchuan with her eyes, reached out to pull him, and cried aggrievedly like a child.

Lu Tingchuan was very worried as he accompanied her for the examination. It would take time for the results to come out.

Shen Qing grabbed Lu Tingchuan's hand and smiled foolishly.

Lu Tingchuan's eyes were slightly hot. He endured it for a long time before he asked Shen Qing with a choked voice: "Shen Qing, do you still remember who I am?"

Shen Qing tilted her head and called out obediently, "A Ming."

Lu Tingchuan closed his eyes, and a tendon near his solar plexus twitched painfully.

He raised his hand and touched Shen Qing's head. Shen Qing couldn't move yet, so he just lay on the bed and let him touch his head.

Several bones in her body were broken. After the anesthesia wore off, the pain came back. She pouted and cried in grievance, "A Ming, it hurts so much..."

Lu Tingchuan called a doctor and gave her an injection of painkiller, but she was still in pain. Pain can break a person's willpower, so Shen Qing fell asleep again after a while of pain.

At this time, the doctor brought the diagnosis results.

Seeing his serious expression, Lu Tingchuan became even more panicked: "How is she?"

The doctor shook his head: "Miss Shen hit her brain when she was in a car accident, and the blood clot suppressed the nerves..."

Lu Tingchuan interrupted him: "Please keep it simple."

Doctor: "To put it simply, Miss Shen is crazy and stupid. She can't remember anything. Now her IQ is probably only that of a one or two-year-old child."

Shen Qing has gone crazy and turned into a fool?

Lu Tingchuan was struck by lightning: "She...can she recover?"

"It's hard to say. The human brain itself is very complex."

Does that mean Shen Qing will be stupid for the rest of his life?

Shen Qing didn't remember anything. She didn't remember Lu Tingchuan who had bullied her, she didn't remember her relatives who were indifferent to her, she didn't remember Su Miao who had helped her, she didn't remember Sister Lin who had prepared a cake for her, she didn't even know who she was. She only remembered a vague name in her mind - "A Ming".

This person is Jiang Yiming.

The doctor suggested: "Mr. Lu, the result of our discussion at the hospital is to let nature take its course and not to irritate Miss Shen. She is emotionally stable now. This kind of disease is actually very difficult to predict. She may be silly today, but may become crazy tomorrow. Not only will she hurt others, but she will also hurt herself. You need to hire a few more people to look after her. In addition, now that Miss Shen has woken up, you should see if your leg needs treatment."

"Wait a little longer..." Lu Tingchuan felt a bitter taste in his throat.

Later, Shen Qing woke up. Her throat was so dry that it hurt, but she still shouted for A Ming until Lu Tingchuan appeared.

She looked at Lu Tingchuan's eyes, which were filled with tiny glimmers of light and infinite nostalgia, but Lu Tingchuan knew that these were not for him, but for Jiang Yiming.

She mistook him for Jiang Yiming.

How ridiculous.

He recalled the first time he met Shen Qing and felt that she was very similar to Shen Zhichu, so he set a trap to make her stay by his side and use her as a substitute for Shen Zhichu.

He even changed Shen Qing's name to Chen Zhichu.

Everything goes around in circles, and karma will come and go. Now Shen Qing regards him as Jiang Yiming, and he has become Jiang Yiming's substitute.

Time took away Shen Qing's memory, her appearance, and her healthy body. The only thing left was the fool she is now.

Shen Qing's intelligence is at the level of a two-year-old. She speaks very slowly and has difficulty understanding things. When she has nothing to do, she likes to play with her hands and smile silly. She doesn't talk much, and the two words she says most are "A Ming".

She was afraid of strangers and didn't dare to face nurses and doctors. The only person she could get close to was Lu Tingchuan. She slept a lot and felt sleepy from time to time. If she woke up and didn't see Lu Tingchuan, she would cry and make a fuss in bed, crying "A Ming" over and over again.

She was afraid of pain, but it would be even more painful if she couldn't see "A Ming". The IV needle on the back of her hand went astray, bleeding, and she cried in pain.

No one except Lu Tingchuan could coax her. Lu Tingchuan used to be the most impatient one, but now he can hold Shen Qing and coax her for a whole day until she smiles.

He blew on the back of her injured hand and stroked her hair: "Ah Qing, you have to be obedient. You are injured and you can't move around. I won't abandon you, never..."

"I will listen to Ming."

Every time he heard these two words, the smile on Lu Tingchuan's lips would stiffen for a moment.

It doesn’t matter. As long as Shen Qing is alive and well, he is willing to be Jiang Yiming’s substitute.

Shen Qing looked at Lu Tingchuan sitting in the wheelchair, pointed at his feet and asked, "What happened to Ah Ming's legs?"

"I did something wrong and my leg is broken."

"Can it be cured?"

"You'll be a cripple in the future." Lu Tingchuan smiled indifferently.

Shen Qing's current IQ is not enough to understand what "cripple" means. Lu Tingchuan received treatment, but missed the best time for treatment. His leg healed, but he walked with a limp.

Shen Qing saw Lu Tingchuan stand up unsteadily and walk with a limp, which looked a bit ugly and different from the way other people walked. Only then did she understand what it meant to be lame.

Lu Tingchuan has a willpower far beyond that of ordinary people. When doing rehabilitation, he stood up with the help of parallel bars. His knees were painful because of the steel needles piercing them, but he went through the whole process without saying a word. During this time, Shen Qing was watching him from the side. He did not dare to show any pain and was smiling when he looked at Shen Qing.

Shen Qing was sitting in a wheelchair. When she saw Lu Tingchuan finish walking, she clapped her hands foolishly to encourage him.

"A Ming is awesome!"

Lu Tingchuan completed a full set of rehabilitation last night and came to Shen Qing to rub her legs. Shen Qing was seriously injured and had been lying in bed for two months. Now she can slowly get out of bed and sit in a wheelchair, wearing protective gear.

Shen Qing watched Lu Tingchuan massaging her feet, with a silly smile on her face. She asked Lu Tingchuan, "A Ming, does it hurt?"

Lu Tingchuan had become accustomed to this name. In order to avoid irritating Shen Qing, he also instructed everyone around him not to call him by his last name.

"It doesn't hurt."

"I'm afraid of pain."

Shen Qing seemed to have thought of something and showed a timid look. Her injuries were too severe and it was inconvenient for her to turn over, so she had to rely on others. However, it hurt every time she moved a lot. Now she could sit, but later she would have to stand up too. She was afraid of rehabilitation like Lu Tingchuan.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here with you." Lu Tingchuan didn't stop massaging Shen Qing's feet while speaking. "Don't you want to stand up earlier so we can go for a walk outside, eat something delicious, and have some fun?"

"I do!" Shen Qing nodded vigorously.

"Then get treatment."

In fact, it’s pretty good for Shen Qing to be so silly. She forgets the pain and lives in simple happiness. Most importantly, she will not leave him.

One of us is a fool and the other is a cripple. The fool cannot live without the lame man. If the fool wants to leave, the lame man cannot catch up with the fool.
