Chapter 155 154. So pitiful

After a short sleep, the numbness, itching, soreness and pain in his legs came back again, and Zhou Qian finally opened his eyes.

At this moment, he has returned to the ward. Above his head is the ceiling light that can be seen day and night. He has obviously changed into a new set of hospital gown, which is much drier.

He was in a daze for a while, but seemed to realize something, so he turned his head -

"Xiaoyu?"

On one side of the bed, Huai Yu was sitting there quietly, still holding his big backpack, staring at him without blinking.

Zhou Qian was nervous for a moment: "When did you come?"

Huaiyu said slowly: "I just got here not long ago... Have you installed your prosthetic limbs yet?"

Zhou Qian moved his legs subconsciously. The nerves attached to the ivy on his right leg were extremely sensitive. The slightest movement felt like ants gnawing at his bones. He was caught off guard and even his expression became ferocious.

When he recovered from his breath, he went to see Huai Yu first, only to find that he was rubbing his backpack, as if there was something inside.

Zhou Qian breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "It's installed, but it's not suitable for exposure to light now, so I used a support frame to fix the quilt to cover it. I can't show it to you."

In fact, this was not the reason, but the ivy's suction claws on the hideous flesh were too terrifying, and he just didn't want Huaiyu to see it.

Fortunately, Huaiyu had no intention of looking at it. At this moment, he just happily took a candy from the basket: "Open your mouth, ah——"

As she spoke, she tilted her face up and smiled. Her pale skin was slightly stained red from her eye sockets to her temples and cheekbones, and her eyes were wet. She looked inexplicably pitiful.

Zhou Qian was silent for a moment, but he still opened his mouth obediently, and then a cool piece of candy was stuffed into his mouth.

Cool and sweet.

He was stunned: "Rock sugar?"

Then he couldn't help laughing: "I haven't eaten it for many years."

"Is that so?" Huaiyu hugged the backpack tightly and laughed: "I spent a lot of points in the trading market to buy this little bit...Brother Zhou Qian, I now have 10,000 contribution points!"

The girl said confidently: "Even if you don't work in the future, I can still make you plump and white!"

"I still have vegetable seedlings and seeds. The uncle at the market also gave me a bag of melon seeds. We can grow vegetables and sunflowers together in the future!"

"Ten thousand?" Zhou Qian was obviously stunned. After a moment, he pushed the rock candy in his mouth and said as a matter of course: "Sure enough, your secret is very valuable."

Huaiyu held the backpack, giggling without saying a word.

As he spoke, he looked at the time again: "It's almost 3:30, aren't you going home yet?"

Huaiyu shook her head, her voice soft and obedient: "I want to accompany you more - it's pitiful to have no family members with you when you are getting prosthetic limbs!"

Zhou Qian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and then he sighed: "How can this be pitiful? Many people want to live but don't have the chance. Now that I have a prosthetic limb, I will be almost like a normal person in the future."

"You can go back. I will be able to walk normally tomorrow. I will be discharged from the hospital in three days."

"If you have time, there is no need to go to the hospital every day. You can help me clean up the house."

Huaiyu thought about it and nodded: "Okay then - then I, then I won't come tomorrow."

Zhou Qian nodded: "Well, there's no need to come over. It's too tiring."

After he said this, Huaiyu became dazed again. The ward was so quiet for a while that Zhou Qian felt a little uncomfortable.

After all, the little girl is a chatterbox and always has a lot to say every day, and this atmosphere makes him feel quite uncomfortable.

What's weird...

But soon, Huaiyu picked up the quilt basket and put it on her shoulder, smiling at him:

"Brother Zhou Qian, I'll go back first!"

After the door of the ward was closed, Zhou Qian let go of his hand and sighed with his teeth bared: "Hiss——"

The feeling of nerve sticking is really uncomfortable.

Then he suddenly wondered——

Why did she start to call him "Brother Zhou Qian" in sweet words again? What did she do to make herself guilty?

…

Outside the ward, Huai Yu also slumped his shoulders and stood there blankly. After a long while, he took a deep breath and came to the nurse station:

"Sister, please don't tell my brother that I came early! I will treat you to candy."

The two nurses still remembered the taste of the rock candy. They waved their hands and said, "No, no, this must be very expensive. Keep it for yourself."

"If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. It's not a big deal. Don't worry, we will keep it a secret."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The two looked at her, and at this moment they stretched out their hands to make a zipper motion at her mouth. Then they looked at the little girl's slightly red eyes and nose, and they probably knew what was going on.

After all, there are often people who think they can tolerate the pain of biological materials, but after the adaptation progress reaches 15%, they cry and howl and refuse to regret...

To be honest, Zhou Qian was able to survive successfully. No wonder the doctor just boasted for so long at the nurses' station. Even they thought it was amazing! The little girl came so early, she must have seen the torture. It's good that the brother and sister care about each other.

Huaiyu smiled, his dark eyes full of satisfaction and trust, and replied sweetly:

"Thank you, sister."

The two nurses were so happy that their hearts blossomed. They thought that no wonder Captain Zhou worked so hard. If they had a sister like her, they would probably want to pick the moon for her.

Huaiyu left the hospital briskly and took the return bus. But in Huacheng Hospital, Zhou Qian quickly pressed the pager again.

The nurse came into the room quickly: "Are you feeling unwell?"

Zhou Qian raised his head, his originally dark skin revealed a bloodless paleness, his eyes were full of tortured red bloodshot, and his whole body was filled with fatigue and weakness.

But he looked at the nurse in front of him and asked in a low voice: "Excuse me, have you been at the nurse's station this afternoon?"

Huh? The nurse was confused for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, I'm in charge of the private ward today."

"That... Huaiyu, the thin and pale girl carrying a backpack..."

He described it, but the other party blinked: "I know, your sister! She has been bringing you meals for so many days, we all know each other - what's wrong?"

Zhou Qian paused: "When did she...come to the hospital today?"

The nurse was stunned for a moment, then said, "It's quite late, 2 or 3 o'clock? You came just after entering the ward."

Exhaustion and pain tortured Zhou Qian's nerves. He didn't see the other party's lie at all. Instead, he breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, thank you. I'm fine."

The other party looked at his appearance, thought for a moment and asked, "Shall I ask the doctor to give you some glucose?"

"No need." Zhou Qian shook his head and refused.

He had just tasted it, and it was a rare, pure, sweet taste.

Update 1. I was too exhausted from taking photos at midnight! I will try taking photos during the day tomorrow.
