"Zhengting, is it because you feel guilty for saying the wrong thing? Or..."
"Mom, sometimes Grandma Lin is very cute, but sometimes it's easy for people to misunderstand when she relays messages."
He only wanted to show that he wasn't interested in Lin Qingyan, but he didn't want Lin Qingyan to hate him or be hurt.
“She’s old and a little mentally unstable. Once we explain it to her, she’ll be fine. I’ve already spoken with Xiao Lin, and once we’re settled in at your uncle’s house, we’ll invite her over to treat your injuries.”
"good."
Lu Zhengting had the driver restart the car and drove to the captain's house.
When Grandma Li saw her grandson arrive at her home in a wheelchair, she couldn't help but wipe away her tears.
"I was hoping every day that nothing bad would happen, I was so afraid, but I still got injured, and so seriously."
Lu Zhengting smiled and comforted her, "Grandma, it's inevitable for people like us to get injured sometimes. It's okay, I'll be fine soon."
"You make it sound so easy. You're not a doctor, how would you know? If you could get better quickly, you would definitely wait until you're fully recovered before coming to Grandma's."
Mother Lu also advised Old Mrs. Li: "Mother, I have already spoken with Xiao Lin, the educated youth, and asked her to treat Zheng Ting's leg. Xiao Lin is so capable, I think she should be able to cure Zheng Ting."
Grandma Li nodded without saying anything.
Because when it comes to treating illnesses, no one can say for sure; we can only take it one step at a time.
However, she still had high hopes for Lin Qingyan. Although the other members of the Li family had heard about Lu Zhengting's injuries before, seeing them with their own eyes made them feel sad for Lu Zhengting, and they only hoped that Lin Qingyan could find a way to cure him.
Lu's mother let Lu Zhengting rest for a while. In the evening, she took two local specialties from Beijing to Lin Qingyan's house.
"Young Lin, I didn't bring anything nice with me. This was bought in Beijing. Please don't mind it, you must accept it."
“Auntie, you’re too kind. You don’t need to bring me anything. Comrade Lu will not only be my patient in the future, but we’ve known each other for so long, and he’s also my friend. He’s helped me a lot. You don’t need to be so polite with me.”
"You really aren't angry with Lin, the educated youth, at all." Mother Lu felt very gratified.
"Auntie, it's just one sentence. I've always thought he was a good person since I met him. How could I have a bad opinion of him because of one ambiguous sentence?"
"Xiao Lin, you are such a generous girl."
Lin Qingyan smiled and said, "Auntie, you're probably overthinking it."
“He’s been resting at his uncle’s house all afternoon. You don’t need to go to the clinic tonight, but you can go see him there. Qinqin and I will pick you up tonight, or you can have Aunt Lin go with you.”
"I'll have my mother-in-law come with me."
"OK."
After dinner, Lin Qingyan was going to take her mother-in-law to the brigade leader's house. Both she and her mother-in-law were skilled in martial arts, so Lin Zhiheng didn't need to come along. Lin Zhiheng had been tired all day, so she told him to rest at home.
The captain's house
Lu Zhengting sat in his wheelchair, feeling uneasy.
To be honest, he really didn't want Lin Qingyan to see his crippled legs, which would be like showing her his ugliest side.
Fortunately, he managed to control his emotions before the mission and did not reveal his feelings for her.
She probably only sees him as an ordinary patient.
Seeing that he seemed lost in thought, Lu's mother said, "Don't worry, I believe that Lin Zhiqing will bring us good results."
Lu Zhengting's hands were still twisting together, revealing his panic. Just wait, she would soon see how useless he was.
Soon, footsteps could be heard in the courtyard. Li Qinqin quickly opened the door, and the visitors were Lin Qingyan and her mother-in-law.
"Sister Qingyan, Mother-in-law, please come in quickly."
Lin Qingyan and her mother-in-law entered the house. Lin Qingyan immediately spotted the tall, imposing man sitting in a wheelchair.
He lowered his head slightly, his hands clasped together and his fingers twisting. Although Lin Qingyan couldn't see his expression, she could tell that he seemed very nervous.
Mother Lu quickly went over to greet them, "Young Lin, you and your aunt are here. Please sit down and rest for a while." She pointed to the stools in the room.
Then she went to pour water and get some treats for Lin Qingyan and her mother-in-law.
Lin Qingyan said politely, "Auntie, you don't need to bother."
While Mrs. Lu was busy with her own things, Grandma Lin saw that Lu Zhengting had his head down, pursed her lips, and said to Lin Qingyan, "Girl, you see, he still doesn't want to see you. He won't even look up at you."
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhengting subconsciously raised his head and looked at Lin Qingyan. He met Lin Qingyan's big, beautiful, watery eyes and found that there seemed to be no disdain in her gaze when she looked at him. He felt a little relieved.
"Comrade Lin, I didn't mean to avoid seeing you. Thank you, thank you for coming to treat my illness."
He awkwardly explained what had happened during the day to Lin Qingyan and thanked her politely but unfamiliarly.
Lin Qingyan noticed his nervousness. He had been looking down earlier and was now stammering, which must be a sign of his inferiority complex.
Thinking of him in the past always gave her a feeling of being energetic, radiant, and incredibly strong, as if nothing could break him.
He's lost his confidence and become completely listless.
She smiled at him and said, "Comrade Lu, don't be too pessimistic. Although you are seriously injured, it doesn't mean you can't be healed. You should take it easy and stay optimistic; it will be very helpful for your recovery."
"Thanks."
Lu Zhengting didn't know if he was encouraged by her or if he was happy to see her smile at him, but he also smiled.
When Lu's mother saw the smile return to her son's face, she was overjoyed.
Since Lu Zhengting was injured and diagnosed with a lifelong disability by doctors, he has been numb every day and has never shown a smile. Now that she sees her son smiling, she feels much better.
She said to Lin Qingyan, "Little Lin, it's only you who can encourage him. No matter how we tried to persuade him before, he always looked gloomy and never seemed happy. Look, he's smiling at you now. He hasn't smiled at me since he got injured."
Lu Zhengting said, "Mom, I'm so glad Comrade Lin was able to cure me. Mom, I'll give you a smile too." He immediately grinned at his mother.
Mrs. Lu waved her hand dismissively: "None of these are from the heart, they don't look good."
"Mom, I mean it from the bottom of my heart."
"I can tell whether you're real or not, so you don't need to pretend in front of me."
Lin Qingyan asked her, "Auntie, Comrade Lu must have had X-rays taken when he was receiving treatment in Beijing, right? Did you bring them with you? If so, could you show them to me?"
"Yes, yes, yes, I brought it over."
