That afternoon, Shen Xingmian rushed home and, without saying a word, started to shave his head. His technique was quite poor. Gu Ying was furious when he saw the result and ignored Shen Xingmian for several days. But now, he seemed to suddenly understand why Xingmian had shaved his head first—it was for Xixi's sake.
Try it out first, so you can be a little more skilled next time.
What Gu Ying thought of, Nan Zhi could easily have thought of as well; she just didn't say it. When Shen Xingmian shaved her head the next day, she understood.
"Brother Xingmian, what illness does Sister Xixi have?"
When Gu Ying returned home, Shen Xingmian went out to see him off. The two stood in the stairwell, and Gu Ying's face darkened. He wasn't stupid; he could see through some things.
Shen Xingmian's expression was also very sad. He remained silent for a long time before glancing at Gu Ying. "Xi Xi's illness is incurable. She probably only has two months left."
With a "boom," Gu Ying felt her mind go blank.
He looked up in disbelief at Shen Xingmian, his lips trembling as he uttered a few words, "You... you lied to me?"
Shen Xingmian's eyes stung with tears. He stared at Gu Ying and said, "I don't intend to hide this from you. I hope you won't give yourself away in front of Xixi."
After saying that, Shen Xingmian turned and walked towards the ward, while Gu Ying slumped down in the corridor, muttering, "How is this possible? Why? Sister Xixi."
He still refused to believe that Mu Xiyue only had two months to live.
She was such a good person, such a good sister, so why is God so unfair?
Gu Ying sat alone on the ground, burying his face in his hands and crying for a long time. When he raised his head again, his eyes were clear.
He wants to be a doctor, he wants to heal people, especially those like Sister Xixi, he wants to spare no effort in healing them.
At that very moment, this young boy resolved to become a doctor who saves lives, which is why Gu Ying became a doctor before inheriting the family business when he grew up.
Nanzhi was completely unaware of all this.
......
Nan Zhi was actually quite happy to have Shen Xingmian come and keep her company every day.
When Wu Ke and Qin Yi came to see him, they happened to run into Shen Xingmian and Gu Ying. Qin Yi's expression was extremely displeased, and he made a few sarcastic remarks.
"Shen Xingmian, what are you doing here?"
To be honest, Qin Yi found it a little funny when he first saw Shen Xingmian's bald head, but he didn't like Shen Xingmian's behavior, so he didn't make fun of him to his face.
At that time, Shen Xingmian ignored Qin Yi and went straight into the ward. He put down his schoolbag as if he knew the way well and went to the bedside to feed Nanzhi.
When Qin Yi and Wu Ke saw this scene, there was nothing they couldn't understand.
When their gaze fell upon Nan Zhi's head, they were also taken aback. Gu Ying, who had run to the coffee table, also had a bald head.
Qin Yi: "......."
Wu Ke: "......."
Is this hairstyle popular lately?
Wu Ke might not understand, but Qin Yi could guess what it meant. At the time, Uncle Mu asked him to help Xi Yue more at school, to observe her more, and to communicate with him promptly if there was anything inappropriate.
Qin Yi is quite righteous, and he's generally a pretty good person.
But this disease is very complicated. He knew that Uncle Mu's child was weak from childhood and was born with a disease that seemed very difficult to treat.
Now that Nanzhi has shaved her head, her complexion looks worse than ever. Although she's smiling, she doesn't look healthy at all.
Having been hospitalized for so long without any improvement, Qin Yi had already prepared for the worst, and felt very heavy-hearted.
"Qin Yi, Wu Ke, please have a seat."
Qin put the fruit in her hand on the table and said with a smile, "Xiyue, are you feeling any better? You look much better."
Nan Zhi smiled and said, "I feel pretty good. Thank you for coming to see me."
Wu Ke waved her hand, "Xi Yue, what are you saying? We're good friends. You're sick, and we can't do anything to help, so we just came to visit you."
Upon hearing this, Nan Zhi's eyes lit up, and she remembered something. "I do have something I need your help with, but I'm actually quite embarrassed."
"It's okay, just tell us. We'll definitely help if we can."
Qin patted his chest and assured him.
Wu Ke nodded, "Xi Yue, just say it."
"Open your mouth."
Shen Xingmian's tone was unyielding, clearly indicating that he was angry. Nanzhi glanced at him; the young man's expression was indifferent, and Nanzhi knew that he was jealous.
A surge of joy rose in her heart, and she opened her mouth to take a bite of food.
Seeing her eat, Shen Xingmian's expression softened. Qin Yi and Wu Ke were somewhat astonished by this scene.
"You should eat too."
This time, Shen Xingmian did not refuse. Instead, she generously took another bite herself, and the two of them used the same spoon.
Seeing this, Qin Yi and Wu Ke were even more astonished.
"You two...do this often?"
Qin Yi asked incredulously.
Nanzhi looked up at him, her eyes crinkling with laughter, "Yes, I forgot to tell you, we're dating."
Qin Yi: "......."
Wu Ke: "......."
What the hell is wrong with this world?
Without a word, they became a couple.
Shen Xingmian's mood suddenly brightened, as if the clouds had parted and the sun was shining; a joyful smile appeared on her lips.
"Congratulations!"
Qin Yi said something with a stiff face.
“Little Grape doesn’t get very good care at home either. Which of you can help me take care of her?”
Nanzhi remembered the important matter and said, "We finally met Qin Yi and Wu Ke, so let's quickly settle Xiao Putao down."
"I can."
The two said in unison.
All I could think about was how I could help Nam Chi, which would naturally be the best thing.
"My family has a cat mom, so of course my family is better."
Wu Ke wasn't going to back down this time. Qin Yi glanced at him, then said to Nan Zhi:
"Little Pomegranate is so lonely by herself. It's perfect that I took Little Grape with me. The two of them can play together and grow up together. Isn't that wonderful?"
"Tch, so you're saying you're not planning to give it back to Xiyue? Once Xiyue is discharged from the hospital, Little Grape will still have to go back to her."
Upon hearing Wu Ke's words, a cryptic glint flashed in Qin Yi's eyes.
Shen Xingmian and Gu Ying, who was doing her homework not far away, both froze, feeling a tightness and pain in their chests.
“They definitely have to pay it back. I told them that during their hospitalization in Nam Gyi, they could grow together.”
Qin Yi reached out and scratched his head, grinning as he spoke.
Nanzhi didn't have many thoughts on her mind; she was just a little regretful that she probably wouldn't be able to raise Little Grape anymore.
"Then let Little Grape keep Little Pomegranate company. It's too pitiful for a cat to be alone."
Since Nanzhi had said that, Wu Ke didn't say anything more, but she still felt that something was wrong, though she couldn't quite put her finger on what it was.
