Chapter 116 Li Jingshen Carries Chen Zhichu Behind His Back
On the day Shen Zhichu left, many people saw him and stood at the door looking at them. Although Shen Zhichu's mind was confused, he could still distinguish which eyes were kind and which were malicious.
But now the way those people looked at him made her feel very uncomfortable, like a monkey being watched in a zoo.
Shen Zhichu suddenly felt very resistant and quickened her pace. She had a poor appetite and slept poorly recently, and her mind and body were too weak. She was out of breath after walking a few steps.
After getting off the elevator, Shen Zhichu leaned against the wall to catch his breath.
"Can't walk anymore?" Li Jingshen asked.
Shen Zhichu didn't answer, but just stood there without moving.
Li Jingshen thought about it, and finally walked in front of her and squatted down: "Come up, I'll carry you."
He had never tried to carry her on his back, and this time he was thinking of giving it a try. He never thought that Shen Zhichu would lie on him obediently. After all, she now extremely hated his touch.
But he didn't expect that after he squatted for a while, Shen Zhichu suddenly climbed onto his back, and then two slender arms wrapped around his neck.
Li Jingshen couldn't control his heartbeat. Shen Zhichu was very thin, so thin that when he carried her on his back, he couldn't feel that she was the weight of an adult woman.
It doesn't have the softness that a woman should have, it's hard and a bit painful, like carrying a skeleton on your back.
Li Jingshen frowned, carefully stood up and carried her to the next floor.
Many people were looking at them on the road. Li Jingshen felt her trembling and said softly, "Put your face on my back, then others won't be able to see you."
Shen Zhichu obediently buried her face in Li Jingshen's back. She should have forgotten the past, but she was so useless as to think about it again.
She almost greedily sniffed the scent of Li Jingshen, lying on his back, feeling safe, just like she did sixteen years ago.
Does Li Jingshen still remember that he carried her on his back like this a long time ago and used candied haws to coax her, a little crybaby?
Li Jingshen felt a little heat on his back but didn't take it seriously.
He had already completed the hospitalization procedures and could move in directly. The ward was on the fifth floor and was very quiet, just as the doctor had said.
But such silence made people feel dead. At this time, the patients were all resting. Li Jingshen passed by an open ward and glanced inside. He saw a woman with disheveled hair sitting on the ground with her head lowered.
Even though he had strong self-control, he was still shocked by this scene. Imagine if one day Chen Zhichu also became like this... Li Jingshen quickly stopped this unrealistic imagination.
The wards here are unlike other wards. There are guardrails on the windows to prevent patients from jumping off the building. The rooms are very clean and tidy, the quilts are neatly folded, and there is the smell of air freshener all around. Unlike the previous wards filled with disinfectant, this place is more suitable for patients with mental illness to recuperate.
On the first day of Shen Zhichu's arrival, he was very nervous in order to adapt to the new environment. At night, he either had nightmares or stayed awake.
Li Jingshen was used to her condition, so he went to the bathroom and came back to find Shen Zhichu sitting by the bed.
Li Jingshen asked her: "Do you want to go to the bathroom?"
Shen Zhichu shook his head: "No."
"So, you want some water?"
"No."
"Are you hungry?"
"Not hungry."
"Then go to sleep." As soon as Li Jingshen finished speaking, Shen Zhichu obediently got into bed and closed his eyes.
When he woke up the next day, Li Jingshen talked about these things, and Shen Zhichu shook his head to indicate that he didn't remember anything.
The psychologist came to treat Shen Zhichu as usual. His condition was better than before and he no longer had schizophrenia, but he was a little autistic.
"It's very difficult to fully recover. You should spend more time with her, care about her, and give her a new place to rely on."
"…….good."
Two weeks passed in a flash, and Li Jingshen felt increasingly powerless, not even knowing when Shen Zhichu's illness would end.
Unable to fall behind in work, he asked Zhao Qian to deliver the documents that needed to be signed every day to the hospital, and to look after Shen Zhichu while he worked.
Chen Zhichu has to take a lot of medicine every day. In addition to the medicine prescribed by the psychiatrist, Su Miao also prescribed some. The mixture of the two medicines makes up a lot, and he can't stop taking any of them.
However, after taking so many medicines, Shen Zhichu has obviously improved. She is no longer so afraid of his touch. Sometimes she will smile when looking at him, with the corners of her lips turned up and shallow dimples on both sides. She looks well-behaved and cute, but the smile does not reach her eyes. Her eyes are lifeless and only stare at people with a gray look.
At noon, Li Jingshen ordered takeout. He only knew what Shen Zhichu disliked but didn't know what she liked. However, it was better for sick people to eat light food and drink some bone soup.
Just as I was about to place an order, my cell phone rang. It was Xia Mingyue calling.
Li Jingshen answered the call: "Hello?"
Shen Zhichu was sitting next to him, and when he saw Li Jingshen answer the call, he saw the contact displayed on it.
The call was from Xia Mingyue. No one knew what was said on the line, but Li Jingshen's originally tense expression began to relax a little.
"No need to come up, just wait for me downstairs, I'll go down and get it."
After that, he hung up the phone, stood up and said to Shen Zhichu, "Don't wander around here. I'll go downstairs to get some food."
