Ye Qingqing carefully removed the splint, pinched Lu Mo's leg, and asked Lu Mo how it felt after each pinch.
Does it hurt?
"It doesn't hurt."
"Does it hurt now?"
Lu Mo subconsciously pulled his leg back, looking helplessly at Ye Qingqing's mischievous smile. He was still holding a long silver needle in his hand. How could it not hurt when such a long needle was pierced into the flesh?
He's not made of wood.
"Battalion Commander, you feel pain again!" Tie Dan shouted in surprise. Lin Shufang and the old man were just as happy, with tears welling up in their eyes.
Lin Shufang turned her back and wiped the corner of her eye with a handkerchief.
Lu Mo was filled with emotion. In fact, his legs regained sensation a few days after the surgery, but he didn't say it. He wanted to wait until he could stand up properly before sharing the good news with his family.
His biggest worry wasn't that he wouldn't be able to stand up, but that he would disappoint his grandfather and mother.
"Stand up and take a look!"
Ye Qingqing looked at him encouragingly.
Lu Mo nodded, placed his hands on the armrests of the wheelchair, and slowly stood up. The veins on the back of his hands bulged, and fine beads of sweat appeared on the tip of his nose. Everyone held their breath, staring at him without blinking, their hearts in their throats.
Ye Qingqing was equally nervous, but she didn't show it. She even smiled, because standing for the first time was too important to affect Lu Mo's mood.
"Almost there... Keep going, you can do it!"
Ye Qingqing kept encouraging him, and Tie Dan also shouted, "Battalion Commander, I believe in you!"
"Brother-in-law, I believe you too!" Xiao Tong shouted even louder, looking at Lu Mo with a grin.
Lu Mo pursed his lips and stood up, but his hands were still on the armrests, and his back was slightly hunched. After sitting in a wheelchair for half a year, he suddenly couldn't stand up.
But today he must stand up!
Lu Mo slowly removed his hands from the handrail, his movements were very slow, like a slow-motion scene in a movie. Ye Qingqing involuntarily reached out her hand and stopped beside Lu Mo.
If anything unexpected happens, she can catch him immediately!
Lu Mo glanced at her, shook his head slightly, indicating that he was fine.
He slowly stepped onto the ground, feeling as if it weighed a ton. Finally, he felt the ground and let out a long sigh of relief, a rare smile appearing on his face.
He finally took the first step!
The beginning is always the hardest, and once you start, you'll start again. Lu Mo took a second step, and although it was a little shaky, it was exciting enough. No one dared to make a sound, afraid of disturbing Lu Mo.
One step, two steps, three steps, four steps... Lu Mo walked step by step, sweat dripping from his nose, and his shirt was soaked through.
Lu Mo walked slowly, each step taking great effort, as if he were walking on the moon. After he had walked about twenty steps, Ye Qingqing called him to a stop and pushed her wheelchair over.
"Sit down and rest. You can't get fat in one bite. You have to take it slow, increase it a little bit every day, and proceed step by step!"
Lu Mo wanted to take a few more steps, but Ye Qingqing disagreed and gave him a lecture in a condescending manner. The old man nodded repeatedly.
"Qing is right, it's only the first day, we can't afford to hurt ourselves!"
The old man was very pleased. His eldest grandson being able to stand up again made him extremely happy. Qingya was truly a lucky star for the Lu family!
Lu Mo was quite helpless. No one knew his body better than him. He actually felt that he could walk another ten steps or so!
After sitting in a wheelchair for almost half a year, heaven knows how much he missed the feeling of walking upright on his own!
But he has to obey!
Otherwise, this girl would definitely nag about him all day!
