Chapter 399 Sickness
Seeing his grandson worried every day, lying in bed with his eyes looking out the window in the direction of the Xu family, Grandpa Huo understood what his grandson was thinking.
So when Xu Qingsui got home from school, he ran to Grandpa Xu and told him in front of Xu Qingsui how seriously ill his grandson was.
The two families had a good relationship. When Grandpa Xu heard about it, he wanted to go visit Huo Xilin immediately. Xu Qingsui was very worried when he heard about it, and he kept clamoring to go with his grandfather.
So the grandfather and grandson walked into Huo Xilin's bedroom for the first time.
The moment Huo Xilin saw Xu Qingsui appear, his eyes lit up, but he still maintained his dignity. In his heart, he was even more angry that she had not come to see him for so many days.
So he pretended to be stiff and asked, "Why are you here?"
Xu Qingsui looked at Huo Xilin lying on the bed. His face was pale and listless. He had lost his usual coldness. He ran over and touched his forehead with his little hand. He said with concern, "Brother Huo, I heard from Grandpa Huo that you are sick. Are you feeling bad?"
All the resentment disappeared the moment he heard Xu Qingsui's voice.
Perhaps because of the illness, a person who was originally very strong will become particularly fragile.
Huo Xilin's nose felt a little sour. He had grown up, and apart from his grandfather, few people really cared about him. Even his parents, one ignored his feelings for work, and the other didn't even stay at home for the woman outside. So both of them ignored him, as if they didn't exist as their son.
Now, feeling the care from Xu Qingsui, Huo Xilin felt warm and sad at the same time.
He thought he was a hedgehog and didn't need anyone's care. He could survive on his own in his own world. But it was not until now that he realized that he also needed sunshine and hoped that someone could understand him and care about him.
Huo Xilin wanted to say something, but when he saw the two old men standing at the head of the bed, he could only hold back the words he wanted to say.
Seeing Huo Xilin didn't speak, Xu Qingsui became even more anxious, thinking that Huo Xilin was too sick to even speak, so he immediately said, "The teacher said that if you are sick, you should tell your parents immediately and then go to the doctor. Our children have poor immunity, so you can't delay."
Although Xu Qingsui didn’t understand what immunity was, he believed that what the teacher said could not be wrong.
Moreover, being sick is very uncomfortable and requires injections and medication to get better.
"Brother Huo, have you seen a doctor?" Xu Qingsui leaned over the window, approached Huo Xilin, and asked in a low voice: "Although you are a man, you can't be too strong."
Huo Xilin looked up at his grandfather. Grandpa Huo was a smart man and he immediately understood his grandson's intention.
So he turned to Grandpa Xu and said, "Grandpa Qingsui, let's go out for a cup of tea. The doctor said the child has the flu and needs ventilation. Let him rest first and let the two children talk."
Grandpa Xu also likes Huo Xilin very much. Ever since his granddaughter started playing with him, they no longer have to worry about her schoolwork.
So he readily agreed to Grandpa Huo's proposal.
After the two adults left, Xu Qingsui and Huo Xilin were the only ones left in the room.
Huo Xilin could finally talk to Xu Qingsui without any worries.
He said in a hoarse voice: "I have already seen the doctor."
Xu Qingsui nodded: "That's good. Have you had the injection? Have you taken the medicine? Although the injection is painful and the medicine is bitter, you can't hide. My grandparents will supervise me every time I take the medicine."
Thinking of the bitter taste of the medicine, Xu Qingsui couldn't help but frowned, but compared to taking medicine, what she feared most was the injection.
"I'm not you. I don't need anyone to supervise me." Huo Xilin said somewhat embarrassedly.
In fact, he was also very afraid of injections, and was even a little afraid of blood. He didn't like taking medicine and hated the bitter taste of medicine. Even after swallowing it, the bitter taste would remain in his mouth for a long, long time. So every time after taking medicine, he would secretly put a candy in his mouth, trying to use the sweetness of the candy to suppress the bitterness of the medicine.
Of course, there was no way he could tell Xu Qingsui all this.
"Really?" Xu Qingsui's eyes sparkled, and he looked at Huo Xilin with admiration, unable to help but praise him, "Brother Huo, you are really amazing!"
Huo Xilin couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth slightly: "Why haven't you come to see me these days?"
In the end, he couldn't hold back any longer and asked the questions in his mind.
Xu Qingsui said somewhat disappointedly: "You must have made new friends in the new school. They don't like me anymore and don't want to talk to me, so I went to play with Qin Fang."
Huo Xilin: "..."
"Who said I made a new friend?" Huo Xilin quickly explained, "You are my only new friend, and I don't hate you talking to me."
He was really scared, and Xu Qingsui never came to see him again from then on.
"Really?" Xu Qingsui left happily: "So I'm still your only friend, right?"
Huo Xilin nodded somewhat arrogantly.
This news made Xu Qingsui happy for several days. After school every day, he didn't even have time to put his schoolbag away at home, and the first thing he did was to run to see how Huo Xilin was recovering.
Perhaps because he was in a good mood, his illness improved quickly, and after three or four days, he was completely cured.
There was a library between the kindergarten and the primary school. Huo Xilin said to Xu Qingsui, "Will you wait for me outside the classroom after school every day?"
"Why?" Xu Qingsui was puzzled. The school closing time of elementary school and kindergarten was one hour apart. She wanted to go home early to watch TV. There was a cartoon that came out recently and it was very good.
"I heard from Grandpa that Grandma Xu and Grandpa Xu are very busy recently. They have to find time to pick you up from school. Why don't you come with me from now on? There is a row of chairs in the corridor of our classroom. You can read there."
"But……"
Without waiting for Xu Qingsui to finish, Huo Xilin quickly asked: "What's wrong, don't you want to go home with me? If you go home with me, I can watch cartoons with you."
Let’s watch cartoons together!
The two have known each other for such a long time, and every time she begged Huo Xilin to watch cartoons with her, he would be very disgusted and say that cartoons are for children and he is no longer a child.
But he is only one year older than me.
This time, he actually took the initiative to say that he wanted to watch cartoons with me!
Xu Qingsui immediately nodded happily and agreed: "Okay, then I'll go back and tell my grandparents not to pick me up from school anymore. I'll go home with you!"
