Old Mrs. Shen came to Shandong Province this time to visit her daughter and son-in-law. She originally planned to come alone, but when she saw her grandson's reluctant look the day before departure, she softened her heart and decided to take him with her. It happened that Xiaojing was in good health recently, so the two of them came by train.
They just arrived yesterday, but Xiaojing caught a cold on the way, so the two of them came to the hospital before they even reached where their son-in-law was stationed.
As Niu Cuihua knew, Xiao Jing still hadn't woken up. Li Mingxi, who was eavesdropping on the situation, was very curious about the little boy. After all, she had never met a real-life Lin Daiyu.
When Old Lady Shen saw that the two had been chatting for so long, she invited Niu Cuihua to bring Xiaoxi to visit her. Niu Cuihua was also very curious about the grandson who was prone to illness as Old Lady Shen mentioned, so she agreed.
The three of them returned to Ward 206 together. Xiao Wei, who was guarding the ward, saw the chief's mother-in-law coming and hurried forward to greet her. Old Mrs. Shen waved her hand and let him go out.
When Niu Cuihua saw that there was a guard following him, she immediately realized that Mrs. Shen’s son-in-law was probably not a soldier. However, she was not a shallow-minded old lady, so she pretended not to see it.
Seeing that Niu Cuihua didn't raise any questions, Old Lady Shen didn't explain much to the guards. She simply told the two to go inside. As soon as they entered the room, Li Mingxi felt an unusually strong energy, so strong it made her dizzy. Curious about the energy, she forced herself to hold on.
Lying on the bed was a little boy in a white shirt. His face was pale from years of illness, and he looked as if he would vanish at any moment. Yet, his beating pulse and weak breathing made you feel that he was still strong and alive.
"Look, this is my grandson. Isn't he handsome?" Old Mrs. Shen glanced at the person on the bed and began to ask Niu Cuihua.
Looking at the little boy who looked like a porcelain doll, Niu Cuihua didn't dare to speak loudly, for fear that her loud voice would scare the child.
Then Li Mingxi heard her grandmother say cautiously, "Yes, he's really handsome. Compared to him, my Xiaoxi is like heaven and earth."
After hearing this, Old Lady Shen directly retorted: "What's the point of being handsome? I actually hope he's a little uglier and just healthy. Not like now. To be honest, sister, I'm afraid that in the future, when my husband and I are gone, there will be no one to take care of him. What will happen then?"
Niu Cuihua also sighed: "Alas, elder sister, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Who can predict what will happen in the future? Maybe one day he will get better."
Old Mrs. Shen: “I hope so!”
Seeing that her grandmother and Old Mrs. Shen were talking happily, Li Mingxi sneaked up to the bedside and wanted to observe him carefully. As soon as she reached the bedside, the little boy's fingers moved.
Li Mingxi didn't notice this; she was only focused on the boy's face. After all, his skin was truly beautiful. Li Mingxi had never seen anyone with skin like this in her previous life. She probably thought movie stars' skin was just like this at best. While Li Mingxi was thinking about all that, the boy lying on the hospital bed woke up.
So when Li Mingxi came back to her senses and continued to look at the little boy, she was caught off guard by a pair of clear eyes as bright as the full moon.
At this moment, a ray of sunlight came in and shone on the little boy's fair skin, making him feel like an angel left in the world.
Li Mingxi was stunned and speechless for a long time. It was not until a cold voice sounded in her ears that she returned to reality.
All I heard was the little boy saying, "Hey, how long are you going to watch?"
Old Lady Shen, who had been paying close attention to this place, actually knew it when Li Mingxi slipped to the bedside, but she didn't say anything to stop the little girl since she didn't do anything. When she heard her grandson talking, she ran to the bedside excitedly.
Before Mrs. Shen even reached the bed, she spoke first, "Xiao Jing, you're awake. Are you feeling unwell?"
"No, grandma, I feel fine now."
Old Mrs. Shen had not expected her grandson to answer her. After all, the child never spoke easily at home. But she really did not expect that her grandson would speak just now. Therefore, Old Mrs. Shen was even more excited about this.
Then, Niu Cuihua and Li Mingxi heard Old Lady Shen shouting in a voice that was completely inconsistent with her image: "Xiao Wei, go call the doctor."
Xiao Wei, who was standing at the door, heard Mrs. Shen's cry and thought something had happened to Xiao Jing. He hurried to the doctor's office and rushed upstairs with Dr. Qin. Dr. Qin was frightened and thought the patient had a sudden illness. But when they went to the ward, they found that it was Huo Jingchen who had woken up.
Doctor Qin immediately felt much more at ease. Without waiting for Mrs. Shen's greeting, he walked straight forward to examine Xiaojing. After a series of examinations, Li Mingxi saw a smile on Doctor Qin's face.
Old Mrs. Shen: "Doctor, how is my grandson?"
Doctor Qin: "It's fine now. I just checked and Xiaojing's physical condition seems to be better than before. Of course, this is just my personal judgment. The specific situation still requires a more detailed examination."
Mrs. Shen's eyes were filled with tears. "Really? Is this true?"
Doctor Qin hurriedly comforted him, "From what I can see now, it should be like this. If it really doesn't work, you can give him another checkup."
When Mrs. Shen heard the doctor's confirmation again, tears immediately flowed out of her eyes.
Seeing this, Niu Cuihua began to persuade her, "Sister, please stop crying. Didn't the doctor say the child is getting better? You're scaring the child by crying."
"Yes, yes, you are right. I can't cry. I have to be happy. The child has finally gotten better. If I cry here, wouldn't it be unlucky?" Old Mrs. Shen said as she wiped away her tears.
Doctor Qin saw that the man had calmed down and said, "The child has just woken up. Make sure he gets more rest." After giving his instructions, Doctor Qin walked out.
Seeing this, Xiao Wei hurried forward and said, "Doctor Qin, let's go. I'll take you there."
Ever since the little boy woke up, Li Mingxi had been observing him out of curiosity. For some reason, the intense energy had disappeared since he woke up. The little boy before her didn't seem like the sickly Lin Daiyu at all, but rather like a mischievous brat.
Huo Jingchen had always known that the little girl next to him was peeking at him, but since he was little, he had seen so many people peeking at him that he didn't care at all and didn't bother to say anything. He usually chose to ignore people he didn't want to talk to, so Li Mingxi just stared at Huo Jingchen in a daze.
