When Xu Ziyu came out of the bathroom after washing up, he saw Luo Xikui sitting on his hospital bed, looking at him with bloodshot eyes.
His hand, which was turning the wheelchair, stiffened for a moment, and his expression changed slightly.
"Bastard! You big bastard!" Luo Xikui's tears welled up instantly. She got up and rushed to his side, clenching her fists and raining blows on his chest, tears streaming down her face.
Xu Ziyu let her hit him for a while, then grabbed her wrist and coughed a few times: "If you keep hitting him, you'll get internal injuries."
Luo Xikui stopped what she was doing and cried even harder, practically wailing.
Xu Ziyu couldn't stand up, and she didn't squat down, so he couldn't even wipe away her tears.
"Don't cry." Xu Ziyu shook her wrist to persuade her, but she couldn't stop crying.
Finally, he had no choice but to resort to his trump card, letting out a cry of "Ouch!": "My knee..."
Luo Xikui suddenly forgot to cry due to nervousness and quickly squatted down, anxiously asking, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"
Xu Ziyu cupped her face in his hands and smiled, "It's alright."
"You lied to me again! You lied to me again!" Luo Xikui punched his thigh.
Although she was annoyed, she still kept her distance and punched Xu Ziyu's right leg, which was unharmed.
"I'm sorry." Xu Ziyu took her hand, pulled her onto one of his legs, wrapped his arms around her waist, gently touched her soft hand with his cheek, and whispered again, "I'm sorry."
"Xu Ziyu, what do you take me for? In your eyes, I can't even be there for you through this difficult time? Why did you keep it from me?" Luo Xikui sobbed intermittently, accusing him.
"That's not how it is." Xu Ziyu wrapped one arm around her tightly and gently stroked her back with the other, giving a wry smile: "I'm just proud. I like it when you look at me with adoration, as if I'm omnipotent in your eyes. I don't want you to see how useless I am now."
"Are you an idiot?!" Luo Xikui yelled at him. "You're not brain-damaged anymore, how can you be useless? Have you forgotten what I say most often?!"
Xu Ziyu thought for a moment, then suddenly smiled and went to wipe away her tears.
Her most frequent saying is that my Tuantuan relies on his brain, and she always says this with great pride, as if his brain belongs to her.
"Idiot, idiot, idiot!" Luo Xikui returned all the "idiot" she had called her over the years. She had never seen him so stupid, so stubbornly concerned with saving face that he suffered for it.
"Okay, I'm an idiot, I won't cry anymore." Xu Ziyu felt sorry for her. Her eyes had been constantly tearing up lately, and her eyelids were red and swollen, making her look pitiful.
"Who would call themselves stupid?" Luo Xikui retorted, then burst into laughter through her tears.
Xu Ziyu smiled, wiped away the tears on Luo Xikui's face with both hands, and kissed her eyelids.
Luo Xikui hugged Xu Ziyu, buried her head in his shoulder for a while, and said in a hoarse voice, "Don't do this again. If you do it again, I won't talk to you anymore."
"Okay, I promise you." Xu Ziyu patted her back to comfort her.
Luo Xikui sniffed, slowly regaining her senses. She got up from his lap, squatted down in front of him, and asked in a hoarse voice, "How is your knee now? Did you fall and hurt it that day?"
She felt that she had been far too careless as his fiancée. The situation was so dangerous that day, and he had fallen so hard, yet she believed him when he said he was alright.
"The surgery is over, there are no problems. You can start rehabilitation exercises in a few days." Xu Ziyu touched her cheek and said softly, "Don't worry."
"You're not lying to me?" Luo Xikui now had to take his words with a grain of salt.
"I'm not lying to you. You can ask the doctor when he comes later," Xu Ziyu said with a faint smile.
Luo Xikui nodded, seemingly believing but not quite, deciding to trust the doctor's words.
