Lin Xiao looked in the direction of the sound.
A tall, beautiful young woman with a long, glossy black ponytail and wearing a white lab coat walked in carrying a thermos.
It has to be said.
His pupils also dilated noticeably for a moment.
How should I describe this woman's appearance?
She's probably a carbon copy of the beautiful woman in Stephen Chow's "I'll take care of you" scene.
It's even more so.
So beautiful!
It's an absolute beauty overload.
But it only lasted a moment. Lin Xiao was, after all, a man of the world. He smiled and nodded at Chu Yingying, then looked away and calmly tossed a seedless grape into his mouth.
It's very sweet.
Chu Yingying was clearly surprised to see Lin Xiao in the ward. She was slightly taken aback, but quickly recovered and gave Lin Xiao a cold nod before walking quickly to Old Mrs. Liu's bedside.
Put down the insulated box.
He sat down on a stool nearby.
Grandma Liu's mouth broke into a wide smile as soon as she saw her beloved granddaughter.
But then she deliberately put on a stern face, pouted, and grumbled, "Hmph. Why has it been so long? I'm starving!"
The old lady was deliberately being coquettish; she had already eaten some breakfast that morning.
The shrimp porridge that was delivered now can only be eaten after she finishes her IV drip.
Chu Yingying had already asked Dali, so she naturally knew what the old lady was thinking, and quickly coaxed her:
"Grandma, you're already in stage three diabetes, so you can't eat too much fresh shrimp. It's high in cholesterol and purines, and excessive intake will increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, gout, and complications."
"You also shouldn't eat too much protein, as it will increase the burden on your kidneys."
"To balance the risks of eating shrimp congee, I've added brown rice, oats, barley, and quinoa to lower the glycemic index."
"I also added carrots, spinach, and pumpkin, which made them a bit more troublesome to prepare, and the cooking time was longer."
"The insulated container is ready; you can eat it after your IV drip is finished. It'll be perfect."
Grandma Liu just wanted to hear that her family valued her.
Sure enough, after hearing Chu Yingying's words, his face immediately broke into a smile like a peeled orange, every wrinkle on his face gleaming with a warm glow, and his eyes and brows radiating satisfaction and joy.
Grandma Liu felt comforted, and her cloudy eyes darted around.
He turned to Lin Xiao.
She pointed her thin, bony finger at Lin Xiao and laughed, "Little Lin, today is truly a day of 'coincidence between her father and mother—extremely coincidental!'"
"Didn't I say earlier that I would introduce you to my dear granddaughter? I had you two add each other on WeChat."
"Since we've run into each other today, why don't you two formally introduce yourselves and have a chat?"
Lin Xiao is not a coy person.
Chu Yingying is not one of them either.
The two stood up and looked at each other.
Lin Xiao wiped his hands with a tissue, then offered his hand, his deep, magnetic voice saying:
"Lin Xiao".
Chu Yingying also extended her slender, fair hand and gently grasped Lin Xiao's large, well-defined hand.
"Chu Yingying." Her voice was sweet and gentle.
Lin Xiaotao's eyes flickered slightly. He withdrew his hand and said with a faint smile, "'Separated by a stream, they gaze at each other but cannot speak.' Yingying is a beautiful name."
Chu Yingying was slightly taken aback.
A strange feeling swept through my mind.
His voice sounds so familiar.
How did he suddenly think of this ancient poem?
Could it be that he is...?
Despite her chaotic state of mind, Chu Yingying maintained a pure and charming demeanor, and smiled faintly:
"Lin Xiao is a good name too. It comes from Su Shi's poem 'Ding Feng Bo,' which says, 'Do not listen to the sound of rain pattering through the forest, why not chant and stroll leisurely?'"
etc.
Lin Xuxing?
Could it be him?
Chu Yingying's pupils widened instantly, a hint of fear flashing in her clear, dark eyes.
Lin Xiao had long suspected that the woman he was talking to was Chu Yingying, so when he met her in person, he was extremely relaxed.
But when he heard her recite two lines of Su Dongpo's poem and saw the strange look in her eyes, Lin Xiao felt a slight unease.
Damn it.
Could it be that she recognized me too?
At this time
Chu Yingying and Lin Xiao, two people who had been chatting online for two nights under different identities, were now using different online aliases.
At this moment
The moment their eyes met, their pupils seemed to experience varying degrees of shock.
Lin Xiao may have experienced a magnitude 1 earthquake.
Chu Yingying is like a magnitude 10 earthquake.
Led by Old Mrs. Liu and Tong Chunni, the onlookers, including bodyguard Dali and caregiver Xiao He, stared at them in shock.
Xiao He paused in his act of biting into the kiwi.
The four of them held their breath and stared intently at the two of them.
She wore a cheap, aunt-like smile.
These two are like a match made in heaven, they hit it off immediately!
Why does that look in his eyes seem so drool-worthy?
My goodness, if you didn't know better, you'd think they were filming an idol drama, falling in love at first sight!
Sensing the strange atmosphere in the ward, Lin Xiao snapped back to reality in a second.
He chuckled and said, "Senior Chu is really quick-witted. Not many people can connect these two lines of poetry."
Chu Yingying then came to her senses, her eyes darting away, and said softly, "It's nothing. You were the one who started the poem, so of course I can't back down."
Grandma Liu laughed heartily and said, "Good, good, you two are a match made in heaven. You hit it off so well the moment you met. It's stuffy in the ward, why don't you go for a walk outside?"
Tong Chunni smiled brightly: "Ah Xiao, buy Yingying a cup of milk tea. Don't all little girls love to drink milk tea?"
At this point, they were truly in a dilemma.
Whether to go or not, things will be difficult.
Staying would be awkward.
Going out to talk would be even more awkward.
But after exchanging a glance, the two tacitly chose to go outside.
After all, nobody wants to be stared at like a monkey in a zoo by four people, eight eyes.
The air pressure around Chu Yingying noticeably decreased.
She walked silently ahead without speaking to Lin Xiao.
Looking at Chu Yingying's thick, black ponytail, Lin Xiao became even more certain of his guess.
Chu Yingying was speechless with longing!
Furthermore, Chu Yingying has begun to suspect that he might be Lin Xuxing.
She might even suspect that he knows her identity.
A smile appeared in Lin Xiao's eyes, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
This game has only just begun.
