Cheng Yuesheng didn't expect that he didn't get scolded for taking the old man to eat takeout, and he even got a free lunch.
Although the food is home-cooked, the taste is not what ordinary people can make.
Cheng Yuesheng ate with gusto.
"Shengsheng, what's wrong with you? Why are you in the hospital?" After spending the past two days together, Old Man Qin felt that he and Cheng Yuesheng had become very close. Seeing a young girl like her in the hospital, he couldn't help but feel curious about what disease she had.
"It's nothing, just a severe fever that turned into pneumonia." She had heard some information about the original owner from the doctors and nurses in charge of her in the past few days. The original owner was a premature baby and had always been in poor health. She had a very weak constitution and often caught various colds and fevers, but no serious illness. It was just that the condition could easily worsen if not cared for properly, so she was always hospitalized.
"What, the fever turned into pneumonia!" But Old Master Qin felt that this was not an ordinary minor illness. He had been taking care of Qin Heque since he was very young. Once, he had a fever and developed pneumonia. He still remembers that terrifying night.
"You are so careless! How did your family take care of you?" Old Master Qin looked at Cheng Yuesheng with pity. The people who were hospitalized here all had good family conditions. He couldn't understand why they didn't take good care of Cheng Yuesheng and let her have a fever and pneumonia.
"I live alone." The original owner rarely returned home after college and often lived in an apartment near the school, so he didn't pay attention when he had a fever.
"Oh! Then you better be careful next time."
"Okay, I'll pay attention next time." Cheng Yuesheng nodded obediently while eating, but he ate too fast and choked, "Cough cough - cough -"
Indeed, people shouldn't talk while eating.
She covered her mouth and coughed softly, and stopped after a while.
At this time, a bony hand handed over a tissue. It was Qin Heque.
He still had an expressionless and indifferent look. Cheng Yuesheng met his dark eyes. He saw how reckless she was. She suddenly felt very embarrassed. She quickly lowered her eyes, took the tissue, and said shyly, "Thank you."
Qin Heque noticed her shyness. He hadn't expected her to eat so hastily that she even choked. After coughing, her eyes were wet and her cheeks had a bit more color, making her look much more pleasing to the eye than before when she looked pale.
This little episode passed quickly.
This meal was truly incredible. It whetted Cheng Yuesheng's appetite, making it the most filling meal he had ever had since coming to this world. He had no idea it would be so delicious. The Qin family's chefs were truly exceptional, considering they had a very picky old man.
After eating and drinking their fill, the few of them lazily digested their food in the small garden.
Cheng Yuesheng also found it quite amusing to listen to Old Man Qin teasing his grandson. Qin Heque was obviously a steady person, but he was always helpless against his grandfather. He had no way to deal with his own grandfather.
Listening to the two of them talking, Cheng Yuesheng occasionally joined in a few words, and gradually began to feel sleepy.
It was lunchtime, but she was reluctant to leave the warm sunlight and the cozy atmosphere, not wanting to return to the cold hospital room that smelled only of disinfectant. Slowly, in this warm and cozy environment, she closed her eyes, her breathing slowed, and she fell asleep.
Qin Heque was the first to notice that Cheng Yuesheng had fallen asleep. He was talking to his grandfather when he suddenly realized that Cheng Yuesheng had not spoken for a long time.
Turning my head, I saw her delicate little face, slumped against the back of a wooden chair. Without the lively energy she possessed when awake, this face alone made her look like a lifelike doll, beautiful and delicate, yet lifeless.
"Oh, why did this child fall asleep here?" Old Master Qin said in a low voice.
"What should we do? We can't just let her sleep here. What if her condition gets worse?" He noticed his grandson staring at Cheng Yuesheng's sleeping face, so he teased him in a strange way, "Xiao He, quickly take her back to the ward."
Qin Heque curled his lips. He knew that the old man was joking with him and ignored his suggestion.
He pushed Cheng Yuesheng's arm and said, "Miss Cheng, wake up."
Cheng Yuesheng slowly opened his eyes, still sleepy, and his eyes seemed to be filled with mist, like a pool of soft, quiet and clear lake water, which made Qin Heque lose consciousness for a moment.
"Sorry, I fell asleep." She yawned delicately.
"If you feel sleepy, go back to the ward and sleep. Don't fall asleep here. It will be troublesome if you catch a cold again." Old Master Qin warned.
"Well, I understand, Grandpa Qin, I'll go back then."
"Okay, let's go back together!"
Several people went back to the ward together. Old Master Qin even made a sudden decision to send Cheng Yuesheng back, saying that she wanted to get familiar with the route so that he could come visit her next time.
"I'm here. Thank you, Grandpa Qin and Mr. Qin, for sending me back." Cheng Yuesheng stood in front of the door and said goodbye to them.
"Miss Cheng, have a good rest. We'll leave first." Qin Heque said.
"Have a good rest. I'll come play with you tomorrow." Old Master Qin winked mischievously: "Just the two of us. No need for Xiao He! He's too annoying!"
"Grandpa!" Qin Heque was helpless.
Cheng Yuesheng watched their interaction and smiled, then said, "Then I'll close the shop. Grandpa Qin should have a good rest when he goes back."
After sending Cheng Yuesheng off, Qin Heque prepared to go back to his grandfather's ward with him.
"Are you Cheng Yuesheng's family?" a passing nurse asked. "She has been hospitalized so many times, but this is the first time I've seen anyone visit her."
"No, we are fellow patients who just met." Mr. Qin explained.
"So that's how it is. I thought this gentleman was Miss Cheng's family member!" She thought the young Qin Heque was a relative of Cheng Yuesheng. Seeing them talking in front of the ward, she was happy for Cheng Yuesheng, but she didn't expect that it turned out not to be the case.
"Didn't her family come to take care of Shengsheng when she was in the hospital?" asked Old Master Qin. In fact, he didn't want to pry into her privacy, but he felt a little strange after hearing what the nurse said: Cheng Yuesheng is a young girl, beautiful and with a good personality, why didn't her family pay attention to her.
The nurse frowned, seemed a little embarrassed, and said: "Miss Cheng has a weak constitution and is often sick and hospitalized. I have been working in this hospital for several years, and I have never seen her family accompany her to the hospital. She always comes to the hospital for medical treatment by herself." Sometimes she would feel pity when she saw the thin and small Cheng Yuesheng carrying her own luggage and taking her medical records to go through various procedures.
On the way back to Mr. Qin's ward, the old man couldn't help but complain about Cheng Yuesheng's relatives.
"Alas! I don't know what's wrong with her parents!" Old Master Qin felt indignant for her: "Shengsheng is so pitiful. A young girl, even sick, has to do everything by herself."
Qin Heque was walking silently beside him, not knowing what he was thinking.
