Lu Lingxi stayed in bed for a few more days. After various complicated examinations, he was finally able to get out of bed freely. The doctor repeatedly said that he was a miracle. It was unbelievable that he recovered so well from such a serious injury. Wang Shuxiu was the happiest to receive the doctor's praise. She changed her usual aggressive attitude and tightly grasped the doctor's hand to thank him continuously, which made the attending doctor, who was not married yet, blush.
After several days of lack of sleep, taking care of Lu Lingxi and working the night shift, Wang Shuxiu looked a little haggard, but this haggardness did not damage her beauty at all, but made her look even more pitiful. As Lu Lingxi's health improved, Wang Shuxiu began to ask Lu Lingxi to tell her about some things in the past, hoping that Lu Lingxi could remember something.
Today she was talking about Lu Lingxi's junior high school life. According to Wang Shuxiu, Lu Lingxi didn't like studying since he was a child. He was okay in elementary school, at least he could pass the exams, but he couldn't keep up after he entered junior high school. He either skipped classes or got into fights every day. He dropped out of school in the second half of the third year of junior high school and never went to school again.
"Do you still remember when you had a fight with your classmates in the second grade of junior high school and the teacher came to your house?"
Lu Lingxi shook his head and lowered his eyes slightly. Every time Wang Shuxiu mentioned the past, he didn't dare to look into her eyes. His eyelashes were very long, and when they were slightly lowered, they seemed to cast a small shadow under his eyes, flickering, just like scratching one's heart.
"Forget it. If you can't remember it, forget it."
Wang Shuxiu skipped the topic immediately after seeing Lu Lingxi's expression. She didn't have to make Lu Lingxi recover his memory, and she even thought it was better for Lu Lingxi the way he was now. If the doctor hadn't said every day that recovering his memory would be more helpful for Lu Lingxi's recovery, she wouldn't have bothered to talk about this.
"Are you hungry?"
Wang Shuxiu's attention quickly shifted to another thing she was passionate about recently, fattening up Lu Lingxi. She always knew that her son was good-looking. After all, he was her son. As long as he looked a little like her, he wouldn't be bad. Not to mention that Lu Lingxi had picked out the advantages of her and that dead man. It was just that Lu Lingxi was too rebellious in the past. He liked things like Gothic, heavy metal, and visual style, which she didn't understand at all. He painted his face so hard that it was hard to tell who he was. She couldn't remember how long it had been since she had seen Lu Lingxi's clean face. This time, Lu Lingxi's personality changed drastically after the accident, and he never painted his face again. Wang Shuxiu looked at Lu Lingxi's fair little face and liked him more and more. The only bad thing was that he was a little too thin. Boys, especially adolescent boys, should be stronger.
"Come, have a chicken drumstick."
Lu Lingxi was helpless. He had just finished lunch and couldn't eat anymore. But before he could say no, Wang Shuxiu thought she had guessed what he was thinking and pinched his face unceremoniously, "You're not eating without washing your hands? You little bastard, you're too particular."
Wang Shuxiu thought it was troublesome to wash hands before eating. The little bastard didn't go out to work and was very dirty. Why should he wash his hands when he lay in bed all day without getting out of bed? But even though she thought so, she couldn't get rid of Lu Lingxi's insistence and was forced to adapt to Lu Lingxi's habits. Wang Xiushu put on Lu Lingxi's shoes in two steps, as if she was going to help him wash his hands.
Lu Lingxi: “…”
He didn't want to go against Wang Shuxiu's kindness, so he touched his stomach and thought, "Never mind, although I'm a little full, I can still eat another chicken leg if I hold it in."
There was no private washroom in the four-person ward, so the only way was to go to the public washroom outside the ward. Lu Lingxi was washing his hands alone, and before he finished, he heard Wang Shuxiu's scolding coming from the door.
"How dare you show up here, you little bastards!"
Lu Lingxi didn't know who Wang Shuxiu was scolding. He took a few quick steps and saw three young men dressed strangely and in tattered clothes standing in a row against the wall at the door of the washroom with their heads lowered. Wang Shuxiu put one hand on her waist and slapped each of them on the head.
Lu Lingxi: “…”
Wang Shuxiu acted like a queen. "You little bastards, why don't you ask who I am, Wang Shuxiu? You left Lu Lingxi alone in the hospital when something happened and you ran away. Huh? Run? You dare to come here again now, are you sure I won't punish you?"
The leading boy raised his head guiltily, "Auntie, I..."
This call of "Auntie" stirred up a hornet's nest. Wang Shuxiu raised her eyebrows and sneered, "Auntie?"
The second boy was very smart and immediately changed his words, "Sister, we were wrong."
The third boy looked up and wanted to admit his mistake, but he saw Lu Lingxi. He was used to Lu Lingxi's painted face, and was a little afraid to recognize the current Lu Lingxi, and hesitated whether to say hello.
The other two teenagers followed his gaze and looked over here, and were shocked by Lu Lingxi's appearance.
"Mom." Lu Lingxi stood quietly beside Wang Shuxiu and greeted her. Wang Shuxiu was not used to him calling her mother, and he also wanted to separate himself from his past life. After being mentioned by Wang Shuxiu once, he never called her mother again. After Lu Lingxi greeted Wang Shuxiu, he glanced at the three people standing against the wall. Judging from their age, they should be friends of this body, but their clothes were really too strange.
Lu Lingxi looked unfamiliar. The three teenagers: "..."
Wang Shuxiu compared her son to the other three little bastards and felt that Lu Lingxi's amnesia was not a bad thing. Although she scolded fiercely, she knew that it was the three of them who had helped Lu Lingxi get to the hospital in time, and it was also the three of them who called to inform her, so she let it go after scolding a few times. However, when they wanted to go to the ward, Wang Shuxiu forced them to clean up the colorful and messy hair on their faces in the washroom first.
She has been in the society for many years, and she knows clearly the contempt that occasionally flashes in the eyes of the family members of the ward when they meet her. She doesn't care, but she doesn't want Lu Lingxi to be looked down upon like her. Now that Lu Lingxi has lost her memory, she has finally changed her image as a gangster in the eyes of everyone. She doesn't want to be ruined by these three little bastards. There is no way to dye her hair black, and her face must be washed clean.
Wang Shuxiu supervised them, and the three boys washed their faces again and again helplessly. Before they almost broke their skin, they finally washed away the color on their faces and revealed their original appearance. Ten minutes later, the three of them were brought to Lu Lingxi by Wang Shuxiu with wet and docile hair.
Lu Lingxi: “…”
After washing off the colorful paint on their faces, the three of them all looked very handsome. One of the young men was probably the one who had the best relationship with Lu Lingxi, and he was the first to speak: "I'm sorry, third brother." He had just learned that Lu Lingxi was seriously injured and had lost his memory, and he didn't expect the consequences to be so serious.
The boy who spoke was named Yi Hang, Lu Lingxi's neighbor and the oldest of the four. The boy who had been the smartest before was Zheng Tan, three months older than Lu Lingxi. The remaining boy was Bai Yuan, one month younger than Lu Lingxi. The four of them were classmates in junior high school, and they had played together since they were young. After graduating from junior high school, they dropped out of school together. The four of them were inseparable, so close that they wore the same pants.
Before Lu Lingxi got into trouble, they sent Lu Lingxi to the hospital and notified Wang Shuxiu. She didn't dare to go home these days and has been hiding outside. A few days ago, Yi Hang heard that the people who fought with them that day were arrested. In panic, they discussed going to the hospital to see Lu Lingxi and then going to hide in the surrounding cities. As a result, they were arrested by the police before they arrived at the hospital. They were detained for a few days and released last night. They said that they were fine. After resting for a night, they made an appointment to see Lu Lingxi the next day. Unexpectedly, Lu Lingxi had lost his memory.
Yi Hang looked more guilty as he spoke. Lu Lingxi didn't know what to say. What Yi Hang said was like a story from another world to him. Fighting and being caught by the police was completely beyond his imagination. Although Lu Lingxi had guessed that this body was not peaceful from the appearance of the police to Wang Shuxiu's intermittent narration, he never expected that the original owner of this body would be a gangster.
Facing the apologetic gazes of the three people opposite him, Lu Lingxi shook his head, "It's okay, I forgot about it."
After he said that, Yi Hang and the others were obviously relieved. In order to liven up the atmosphere, Zheng Tan said with a smile: "Third Brother, you can forget other things, but don't forget us brothers when you get rich."
Yi Hang slapped Zheng Tan and said to Lu Lingxi, "Don't listen to Zheng Tan. What's the point of getting rich or not? The third brother, you should take good care of your health."
Lu Lingxi was quite uncomfortable with the name Lao San, but when he thought about it, the other party was a friend of this body. He was Lu Lingxi now, so naturally he should learn to adapt to the life of the original owner.
"I see." Lu Lingxi nodded politely. Although he had tried hard to speak like the others, his years of upbringing had left him with a deep sense of propriety that was almost ingrained in his bones.
Yi Hang and his friends were obviously not used to the current Lu Lingxi. They had originally thought that brothers would be affectionate when they met, but Lu Lingxi didn't remember anything. What was even more strange was that he changed his rude speech and became more elegant. If it were normal, Yi Hang would have slapped Lu Lingxi, "You're just pretending, I'll let you pretend." But facing the current Lu Lingxi, he couldn't slap him no matter how hard he tried.
After an afternoon of whispering, Zheng Tan was the first to scream as soon as they left the hospital.
"I almost suffocated to death this afternoon. Is the third brother possessed by evil spirits? Didn't he despise such well-behaved and quiet people in the past? Look at him now. I have to think twice before I say anything to him, for fear of scaring him."
Yi Hang glared at him in dissatisfaction, "What do you mean by possessed? Don't you know that the third brother has lost his memory?"
"It's strange even if I knew. He has changed so much!"
Bai Yuan muttered, "I think Third Brother is doing well now. Second Brother, don't you like that girl from Fengcheng No. 1 Middle School? She used to look down on us, but now she can push Third Brother to her, no problem at all."
"Get lost! If she really likes the third brother, what's my business?"
Several people walked out of the hospital arm in arm. Lu Lingxi stood in front of the window and watched their backs, with a hint of envy in his eyes. He could feel Yi Hang and his friends' restraint during the afternoon chat. He had been trying to fit in with them, but it seemed unsuccessful. I wonder if Yi Hang and Zheng Tan would think that his personality had become weird, and thus he had lost these friends?
Not long after Yi Hang and his companions left, Wang Shuxiu also rushed to work. Lu Lingxi became a person again, and there was the pot of spider plant in front of him. After watering the spider plant and getting a little plant heart last time, Lu Lingxi asked around the next day and found out that the spider plant was raised by the patient in bed 17. He tentatively told the patient in bed 17 that he wanted to take care of the spider plant. The patient smiled and told him that he had long forgotten that he had such a small thing, and readily gave him the spider plant. After Lu Lingxi carefully tested that no one except him could see the white panel, he would open the panel every day when he was alone to study the spider plant. He soon discovered that he could not get the plant heart every time he watered the spider plant, but only when he watered the spider plant when it needed it. And one time when the spider plant did not need watering, he poured a cup of water, and even got a little bit of it upside down.
This experience made Lu Lingxi realize that taking care of flowers and plants is not as simple as he thought. When he was at the Lu family, he would occasionally go to the garden to watch the flower farmers watering and pruning. He thought it was simple at the time, but when he started to take care of this pot of spider plant himself, he found that even a simple task like watering requires knowledge.
Because of his previous physical condition, the doctor had been restricting Lu Lingxi's behavior, which resulted in him being able to study the white panel only around the spider plant on the windowsill. Now that he could finally move freely, Lu Lingxi decided to find some other plants to look at as soon as possible. I wonder if this panel can only display this spider plant or other plants as well? He thought about it in his mind and soon came up with the idea of the several large-leafed green ivy on the first floor of the inpatient department.
