"Don't you want to check your head?" Qiao Lubai was still worried. "This is a serious blow. It would be safer to do a CT scan to avoid a concussion."
"I'm not that hypocritical." Mu Qiao let go of Qiao Lubai's hand and shook his head. "I'm fine, Deputy Captain Qiao, don't worry."
"Are you sure?" Qiao Lubai looked suspicious. He felt that Mu Qiao was pretending to be calm.
Mu Qiao nodded very affirmatively, indicating that she was fine.
Qiao Lubai suddenly raised his right hand and touched her forehead.
His sudden action confused Mu Qiao.
He just casually rubbed her forehead gently, as if he was rubbing a rare treasure, so seriously and gently.
His palms were very hot, and the heat flowed from Mu Qiao's forehead to her brain and quickly spread throughout her body.
She suddenly felt dry mouth, hot cheeks, and her heartbeat accelerated...
...
...
She, she is attracted to Qiao Lubai? !
Seeing Mu Qiao's flushed face, Qiao Lubai realized his mistake. He quickly retracted his hand and changed the subject, "Come with me to ward 8066!"
As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand and clasped Mu Qiao's wrist, "We have to be close, because in ward 8066, my grandfather is dying, and his only wish before he dies is to see his grandson's wife."
It turned out to be for filial piety! Mu Qiao understood, she didn't say anything, she just hugged Qiao Lubai's right arm and urged, "Lubai, let's go in and see grandpa!"
Mu Qiao suddenly changed her tone and called him so intimately. Qiao Lubai was still a little uncomfortable with it. However, grandpa must like a girl as straightforward as Mu Qiao.
As expected, Qiao Lubai knew Mu Qiao well. His grandfather really liked Mu Qiao's cheerful and carefree personality. Even though he was exhausted by the disease, the old man kept pestering Mu Qiao to talk to him.
Mu Qiao told the old man many interesting stories and jokes, which made him very happy. He slept soundly that night.
"Thank you, Mu Qiao!" After coming out of grandpa's ward, Qiao Lubai sincerely thanked her.
Mu Qiao smiled calmly, looked at his handsome face which was gradually regaining its spirit, and asked a very personal question, "Deputy Captain Qiao, what kind of girl do you like?"
"Can I not answer?" Qiao Lubai seemed to be deliberately avoiding the question.
Mu Qiao doesn't like to pry into other people's privacy, but Qiao Lubai is the person she likes, and she wants to understand him.
"No!" Mu Qiao refused and insisted, "You must tell me, because I like you and I want to have a goal to work towards."
Qiao Lubai was silent for a long time, and finally said, "Five years ago, I was very absurd. I spent my days in Yishui City, drinking and having fun, and never did anything serious. Later, my father died. When I saw my mother crying and sad, I swore that I would never marry in this life. I was afraid that when I died one day, the person left behind would be as heartbroken as my mother, so..."
At this point, he paused, his eyes dimmed a little, "So I have never liked that girl. Even if a girl confessed to me, I would coldly reject her."
"Captain Qiao is a true hero." Mu Qiao sighed from the bottom of his heart and suddenly changed the subject; "Deputy Captain Qiao, I understand you. In fact, I have never been in a relationship because I don't want to implicate others, and I don't want others to be sad because of me."
Qiao Lubai looked at Mu Qiao with a surprised look.
She actually has such an idea?
Mu Qiao smiled innocently and said, "Deputy Captain Qiao, I suddenly feel that we are a pair of cowards. Under the guise of caring for others, we make ourselves suffer and become older single women and men, causing our families and leaders to worry. We are really selfish, don't you think?"
"Yes!" Qiao Lubai agreed with Mu Qiao, "I am indeed too selfish when it comes to personal issues. I have always been thinking about myself and never thought about my grandfather, mother, or the leaders who care about me."
Mu Qiao pursed his lips, his expression was heavy, and there was a hint of sadness in his tone.
"Like you, I am selfish and extreme in personal matters. Ever since I met your grandfather, an old man in his twilight years who was suffering from a terminal illness, I suddenly realized that life is so short. Be filial and enjoy life while you can, and don't regret it until you lose something."
Mu Qiao said as he walked to Qiao Lubai, staring at him without blinking, and told him loudly and seriously, "Qiao Lubai, I like you. Starting tomorrow, I will pursue you without hesitation. Be prepared to accept it."
After saying that, she ran away without looking back.
Qiao Lubai, who was standing outside the ward, was a little stunned.
Mu Qiao, this tomboy, is so straightforward that it's hard to resist.
Can't a girl be a little more reserved?
Watching her back disappearing around the corner of the corridor, Qiao Lubai's lips curled up slightly, and an undetectable smile flashed across his face.
Mu Qiao ran out of the Second Affiliated Hospital in one breath and got into the car. Only then did she realize that her little face had turned as red as a monkey's butt.
Fortunately, she ran fast just now, so Qiao Lubai didn't see her shy look after her domineering confession.
After a long time, Mu Qiao calmed down from this embarrassing situation. She made a decision, "Tonight, she will not return to the camp. She is going to do something big."
Then, Mu Qiao drove into a high-end residential area in the city.
After parking the car, Mu Qiao took out his cell phone and dialed a number.
"Sister, are you ready with everything I asked you to prepare?"
The other party replied very confidently, "Everything is ready, just waiting for you to build it."
"I'll be there soon!" Mu Qiao hung up the phone and went upstairs happily.
The next morning, Mu Qiao came to Ward 8066. When she arrived, her grandfather had not woken up yet. Qiao Lubai was standing by the window, one hand in a plaster cast and the other in his trouser pocket, looking out the window in silence.
Mu Qiao did not go over to disturb him, but quietly placed the breakfast and soup he brought.
After a long time, Qiao Lubai turned around, but his sight was fixed on an extremely heartwarming scene beside the bed.
"Grandpa, let me blow on it for you and we can drink it slowly." At this moment, Mu Qiao was blowing the chicken soup in the spoon for his grandfather and feeding it to the old man bit by bit.
"My grandson's wife is so considerate." Grandpa praised with a smile. An old man who was plagued by illness showed such a kind smile, which instantly infected Qiao Lubai's mood.
The doctors had given up on grandpa's illness, and Qiao Lubai was originally very desperate, but he didn't expect that Mu Qiao's appearance would make grandpa in a good mood and he even drank a lot of chicken soup.
His mother called him yesterday and was crying. She said that grandpa had not drunk a drop of water or eaten a grain of rice and was afraid that he would not survive. Therefore, he called Mu Qiao to pretend to be his girlfriend. He originally wanted to fulfill the old man's wish, but he got an unexpected reward.
It was Mu Qiao who gave my grandfather hope of life, and he is fighting the disease tenaciously.
Seeing the transformation of his grandfather, Qiao Lubai was grateful to Mu Qiao from the bottom of his heart.
"Grandpa, is the chicken soup I made delicious?" Mu Qiao asked while wiping the old man's mouth, seeking praise. The smile on his face was warm and bright, just like the rising sun in the morning, emitting infinite vitality.
This was the first time that Qiao Lubai saw Mu Qiao's sunny and warm side.
