Chapter 795 Uncle Bai, we are dating now
"Let's not talk about it for now. I have something else to do here."
Lu Yuanqiu hung up the phone and slowly walked towards the bedside. He gave Aunt Zhang a look, and when Aunt Zhang understood, she immediately put down the basin and turned to leave the ward.
Bai Songzhe lay on the hospital bed with his head hung, and his words gradually became silent.
But he clutched the blue and white striped quilt tightly with both hands, and the muscles on his arms were tense with excitement.
Lu Yuanqiu walked to the bedside, patted Bai Qingxia on the shoulder, helped her up, and asked her to stay away from Bai Songzhe's bed. At this time, there was a noise outside the ward, and Aunt Zhang came in with a doctor in a white coat.
The doctor took a look at Bai Songzhe's current condition, raised his hand to signal the others to calm down, and whispered, "Wait a moment, let him calm down."
Everyone stood there quietly, listening to Bai Songzhe's breathing gradually change from rapid and heavy to smooth. The doctor saw that the time was right, walked to the end of the bed and stood, calling out his name: "Bai Songzhe!"
Bai Songzhe reacted quickly and raised his head on the hospital bed.
His eyes were red and rimmed with tears.
But it was obvious that he could understand what the doctor said.
Doctor: "Was the name I just called yours?"
Bai Songzhe paused for a moment and nodded.
Doctor: "What's your name?"
"Bai Songzhe."
"What's your wife's name?"
"Luo Ran."
"Where's your daughter?"
"Bai Qingxia."
Bai Songzhe answered fluently, his expression and tone were no different from those of a normal person. Aunt Zhang and Bai Qingxia were crying and laughing at the moment, and were extremely happy.
Doctor: "What's your son's name?"
"Bai Ruoan." Only when Bai Songzhe answered this did his eyes suddenly become sad and his tone became low.
The doctor nodded slightly: "How old are you this year?"
Bai Songzhe: "I..."
He didn't answer for a moment, but instead looked around curiously.
The doctor didn't ask any further questions. Instead, he walked over to Lu Yuanqiu and asked quietly, "Did he suddenly wake up just now? Did he say anything?"
Lu Yuanqiu: "Yes, he called me An An, so he is his son."
Doctor: "That's right. His son's car accident was the trigger for his mental trauma, so his first reaction upon waking up was to be immersed in the emotions of that time. He's not sure how old he is now, but he's just realizing that it might have been a thing of the past. The stories you mentioned a few days ago, the memories of those stories must be slowly filling the gaps in his mind now."
"Look at his eyes, he's observing his surroundings."
It was just as the doctor said. Bai Songzhe was carefully looking at the environment around him and everyone in the ward. He especially paused on Bai Qingxia's face many times, as if he wanted to recognize her but didn't dare to, as if he couldn't imagine the fact that his daughter had suddenly grown up.
The doctor then reminded: "Little girl, talk to your father."
Bai Qingxia immediately wiped her tears and walked towards the bed. She sat beside the bed and smiled at Bai Songzhe: "Dad."
Bai Songzhe looked at his daughter and recognized her without hesitation. Whether it was memories of the past or memories of his madness that flooded into his mind, he grabbed Bai Qingxia's arm and lowered his head to cry again. Seeing this, Bai Qingxia finally couldn't help it and opened her arms to hug her father.
"I'm Xia Xia, Dad, are you really awake this time? I'm Xia Xia..."
Listening to his daughter's crying, Bai Songzhe felt like there was something stuck in his throat, and he just hugged her tightly and cried loudly. It was hard to imagine that a middle-aged man could cry like this. This was probably a manifestation of heartache. He was so heartbroken that the father could not say a word of comfort at this moment, and could only hug his daughter tightly.
Over the years, he had been selfishly having a long and beautiful dream and was unwilling to wake up from it.
In the dream, a family of four lived in a cozy, small house. The wife was virtuous and always had a smile on her face. The son was sensible and thoughtful, thinking of everything for his parents. The daughter was naughty and cute, always plucked his hand and spun around, calling him "Dad, Dad..."
Now the dream is over.
The cozy house is not there.
The virtuous wife is not here.
The sensible son is not here.
All of this has turned gray. When he opened his eyes, the only color he saw was a daughter who had suddenly grown up, hugging him and crying beside his bed.
His daughter was no longer the naughty and cute little girl in his memory. The memories of the past ten years flooded into his mind. What Bai Songzhe saw was a thin body carrying him on its back, and helping him climb out of the dirty and smelly quagmire bit by bit.
The little girl's smile gradually faded.
When she was tired and wronged, she could only hide in the corner and cry, but her crying became weaker every year, because the girl had faced the reality and knew that she was helpless and unlike other children, she would never be comforted by her loved ones.
“Bang!”
Bai Songzhe suddenly slapped himself hard in the face. Bai Qingxia was frightened and quickly reached out to pull him away. Lu Yuanqiu and the doctor also hurried forward.
"Uncle Bai!"
After controlling Bai Songzhe, the middle-aged man lay powerlessly on the bed, looking up in pain again, crying heartbreakingly.
Zhang Ru held her hands in the air, unable to bear watching this scene any longer. She walked out of the ward sadly and leaned against the door.
It was not until the afternoon that Bai Songzhe's emotions stabilized. He lay on his side on the bed, staring blankly at the falling leaves outside the window.
"Dad, drink some water, your lips are too dry."
Hearing a voice from the side, Bai Songzhe turned his head and saw that it was his daughter who handed him a glass of water with a straw thoughtfully inserted in it.
Bai Songzhe supported himself on the bed and sat up, took the cup and drank. There was no smile on his face, but Bai Qingxia's face was full of joy.
"Knock, knock, knock." Lu Yuanqiu knocked on the door and came in carrying a basket of fruit. Bai Songzhe turned his head to look at him. Lu Yuanqiu smiled and called out, "Uncle Bai."
Bai Songzhe nodded hesitantly, looked at him carefully, and said after a moment: "You are... Lu Laosi's son?"
Lu Yuanqiu nodded: "Yes."
"We met when you were a child, but I never thought you would look so much like your grandfather when you grew up, but you will be stronger than your grandfather was back then." Bai Songzhe said.
"Ah..." Lu Yuanqiu glanced at Bai Qingxia and suddenly felt a little restrained. It turned out that the feeling of talking with Bai Songzhe in different states was completely different. The normal Bai Songzhe gave people the feeling of being upright and majestic.
"Uncle Bai is talking about the birthday party, right?"
Bai Songzhe nodded: "Yes, your grandfather dotes on you very much and has done it for you several times."
Bai Qingxia put her hands on her knees and looked back and forth at the two of them with a smile. She liked this scene and atmosphere very much. It seemed that seeing these two men having a normal conversation was something she had always dreamed of. Seeing that her father had finished drinking the water, she immediately took the cup and put it on the table.
Lu Yuanqiu also put the fruit basket on the table. He was about to pull the stool next to him and sit down when he suddenly heard Bai Songzhe speak again: "You two..." As he spoke, he looked at his daughter and then at Lu Yuanqiu.
Lu Yuanqiu silently withdrew his hand from the stool and continued to stand. He couldn't help swallowing his saliva: "Uh, Uncle Bai, we... are dating now."
