Chapter 112 Be Brave
"Mr. Shi, the pain is probably caused by the rainy weather." The doctor finished examining Shen Chutang and gave his conclusion. Looking at Shi Chengyu's still nervous expression, he said, "If you are really worried, you can go to the hospital for another checkup."
Shen Chutang was in so much pain in his arms that she was almost unconscious and shedding tears of grievance.
“But it was fine before, and it was fine even when it snowed in winter.”
Both of Shen Chutang's legs were comminuted fractures. Steel plates and nails were inserted at the beginning. Later he watched those things being taken out of her legs. Shen Chutang was not conscious at that time. She did not cry or shout in pain during the operation, but just watching it made him heartbroken.
The doctor raised his voice and said, "That's a good thing. It means that Miss Shen's legs are slowly regaining sensation. That's a good thing."
Shi Chengyu looked at Shen Chutang's painful expression and asked, "Is there any way to make her feel less pain?"
"Of course there is. You can get a painkiller injection, but pain perception can help Miss Shen's leg recover faster."
"Give me an injection." Shi Chengyu said without hesitation while tidying up Shen Chutang's sweaty hair.
The doctor agreed and quickly asked someone to go out and prepare.
After the injection, Shen Chutang became more awake as the medicine slowly took effect. His legs no longer hurt, but were still a little numb.
"It's all your fault. I was sleeping soundly, but you woke me up." Shen Chutang cried aggrievedly, "You are not allowed to kiss me in the morning anymore."
"Okay, it's my fault. Tangtang can hit me or scold me." Shi Chengyu hugged her with heartache. He said this, but he knew very well that Shen Chutang would never have the heart to hit him hard. What's more, even if she scolded him or beat him, it would not help her relieve the pain.
Shen Chutang no longer felt any pain. Seeing him blaming himself, T suddenly felt a little regretful for being too impulsive just now. He quickly pulled his arm and changed the subject, "I, I'm hungry. I want to eat."
"Auntie has prepared dinner and is waiting for you to wake up and eat." Shi Chengyu massaged her legs and asked, "Do you want to eat in bed or in the living room?"
Shen Chutang thought for a while and said, "Let's go to the living room."
There was a sound of rain outside. Shi Chengyu carried her off the bed and walked towards the living room.
It was a great joy that Shen Chutang's leg could recover. Chen Musheng smiled and said, "The incense in Xiangshan Temple is still effective. Tangtang's leg will definitely get better."
Shen Chutang didn't know yet, and his face looked a little confused.
"The doctor said today that feeling pain means you're recovering and it will be healed soon." Chen Musheng stroked the back of her head.
Shen Chutang understood and immediately laughed, "Really? Will it be healed soon?"
Chen Musheng said, "Yes, the doctor said that if you endure the pain, you will recover faster, but Chengyu felt sorry for you and asked someone to give you painkillers. We are not in a hurry, we will take our time, and it is okay if you can't endure the pain."
"I can bear the pain!" Shen Chutang said hurriedly, "I can bear it. Don't give me the painkiller injection next time."
She even sounded a little anxious and expectant, as if she wasn't the one crying in pain just now.
Chen Musheng was slightly surprised, "This, there's no rush, Tangtang."
Shi Chengyu paused as he served her porridge, "Eat first, Tangtang."
"Honestly, Brother Chengyu, I can bear it!" She looked at Shi Chengyu with sparkling eyes and her voice was very excited.
Even if she could bear it, Shi Chengyu couldn't.
"We'll talk about this next time, Tangtang. Eat your meal first." Shi Chengyu put the porridge at the perfect temperature in front of her. "You didn't get enough rest this morning. Sleep for a while after dinner."
"Okay." Shen Chutang drank a mouthful of porridge, "Where's Dad?"
Chen Musheng: "He went back to the villa to visit your grandfather and relax."
Shen Gengli was a taciturn person to begin with, and he had become even more decadent in recent years. He felt like he had a heavy heart and was always sighing and pretending to be strong, but several times Chen Musheng discovered that he was secretly crying in the middle of the night, and there were cigarette butts all over the floor.
Shen Chutang asked: "Have you told Dad? And Grandpa?"
Chen Musheng: "I told them, I told them, I told them all. It's unreasonable not to inform them about such a big thing."
"Then when can I do rehabilitation? Will rehabilitation help me get better faster?" Shen Chutang asked again. She was curious and couldn't help but want to know.
"You can't stand up yet, take your time." Chen Musheng looked at her anxious expression and comforted her, "It doesn't matter if you wait a few days. Your grandfather has invited an old Chinese doctor to come and see you tomorrow."
"Okay!" Shen Chutang agreed happily. She turned around and saw Shi Chengyu distracted. She pulled his finger and said, "Eat your meal carefully, Brother Chengyu."
Shi Chengyu held her hand back and said with a faint smile, "Got it, just eat yours obediently."
Shen Chutang held his hand and nagged him restlessly, eating and playing at the same time.
After dinner, Shen Chutang inexplicably wanted to bask in the sun, but it was raining today, so Shi Chengyu carried her to the glass greenhouse, and raindrops hit the ceiling with a crackling sound.
Shi Chengyu wanted to get her earplugs, but Shen Chutang shook her head.
"Brother Chengyu, I used to be most afraid of taking medicine, getting injections, and thunder and rain." Shen Chutang sat on his lap, listening to the sound of rain outside, but at this moment he did not feel afraid, "But I know you will be with me, so I am not that afraid."
"Now I have something new to fear." Shen Chutang said slowly, looking intently into his eyes, "I'm afraid that you'll be unhappy, that you'll blame yourself, that you'll hurt yourself."
"Brother Chengyu, I know the road ahead will be difficult and the rehabilitation will be painful, but I'm not afraid. I don't want you to feel guilty because of me anymore. I want to stand up sooner and stand by your side. So let's be brave and work hard together, okay?"
Shi Chengyu's heart softened like a pool of water, and he went over to rub her cheek, "Okay, I'm brave."
Shen Chutang smiled and patted his back. Suddenly, there was a loud thunder outside. She was so scared that she trembled and the smile on her face disappeared.
The person who just said that he was not afraid anymore was now hiding in Shi Chengyu's arms, a little embarrassed, "If, if you kiss me when I am afraid, I will not be afraid anymore."
As soon as she finished speaking, Shi Chengyu pinched her chin, lifted her face and kissed her.
The sound of rain mixed with the fragrance of flowers. The two people embraced each other between the shadows of flowers, and their hearts grew closer.

The recovery process was not easy. Shen Chutang's legs still had no feeling except on rainy days. The Chinese doctor she hired gave her acupuncture and massage every day, from summer to autumn, and then when the weather got colder.
She never cried out in pain, and drank bowl after bowl of the hard-to-swallow Chinese medicine.
In addition to various fairy tales and business books, Shi Chengyu's study also has many new medical books on massage techniques and postoperative rehabilitation.
After several months, Shen Chutang was finally able to lift her legs a little higher. Although it was only a little bit, the results of several months of hard work were enough to make her happy for a long time.
