Chapter 26
Shi Miaomiao was lying on the bed at this time, still thinking about what happened during the day. She lay on her side, holding the doll tightly in her arms, but her heart was thinking about her and Lian Jian.
Is this considered a reconciliation between her and Lian Jian? But wouldn't it be too easy to forgive him? They are still young, and if she wants to complete the 003 task of getting married and having children, it will take a long time.
Whether other things will happen between her and Lian Jian, whether Lian Jian and she will repeat the same mistakes, and what she will do then, she herself has no answer.
She could only persuade herself that instead of worrying about the future, it would be better to live in the present. At least they were happy now.
The next day, Lian Jian and his parents returned to his grandmother's house, while Shi Miaomiao stayed at home alone.
Originally, Lian Jian's parents wanted Shi Miaomiao to go with them, but Shi Miaomiao declined considering that she and Lian Jian had not formally met their parents. Lian's mother knew what the little girl was thinking and did not force her.
Before going to her grandmother's house, Lian Jian left a message for Shi Miaomiao on her mobile phone: Take good care of yourself at home, I will be back soon.
Shi Miaomiao looked at the message on the phone and replied simply: Don’t worry about me, take good care of your grandma, I will wait for you to come back.
Shi Miaomiao was alone at home. She was bored and wanted to chat with Liu Yueyue and Li Bing'er, but Li Bing'er rarely replied. Shi Miaomiao thought she might have something to do and didn't think much about it.
After Lian Jian and his parents visited his grandmother, the whole family packed their luggage and returned to Pingcheng.
Lian Jian's parents originally wanted Lian Jian to stay in Lincheng to take care of Shi Miaomiao, but Miaomiao felt that it was the first month of the year and Lian Jian should spend more time with his parents. They would have plenty of time together in the future, so they let Lian Jian accompany his parents back to Pingcheng.
Lian Jian knew what Shi Miaomiao was thinking, so he followed his parents back to Pingcheng.
But he never missed a day of asking about my well-being.
Time flies and the winter vacation is gone in a flash.
The first month of the lunar year has not yet passed and the air is still filled with chill, but school has already started.
At Pingcheng High-speed Railway Station, Shi Miaomiao had just gotten off the train. The cold air outside made her shiver uncontrollably. Wearing a pair of red gloves, she blew the hot air from her mouth and touched her cold face, as if this could dispel the cold.
She pulled her suitcase and followed the group out. When she reached the station exit, she saw Lian Jian there.
No wonder Lian Jian asked her on the phone last night when she would arrive at the station. It turned out that he was thinking of picking her up.
Lian Jian saw Shi Miaomiao from a distance. He waved to him, and Shi Miaomiao immediately saw him, who was extremely handsome in the crowd.
She approached, and Lian Jian took the luggage naturally, "Are you hungry?"
Shi Miaomiao touched her stomach and smiled embarrassedly: "I'm a little hungry."
Lian Jian pulled the luggage with one hand and touched her head with the other. He smiled indulgently, "Okay, let's eat first, and then I'll take you back to school."
Shi Miaomiao smiled and nodded, "Okay."
The two found a restaurant near the school gate, and Lian Jian ordered some of Shi Miaomiao's favorite dishes. Shi Miaomiao was tired from the long journey and was indeed hungry.
After dinner, Lian Jian took Shi Miaomiao's luggage and sent her back to the girls' dormitory.
Shi Miaomiao took the luggage from Lian Jian and walked forward a few steps.
"Miaomiao."
Lian Jian called her specifically. Shi Miaomiao turned around and saw Lian Jian's smiling face.
"What's wrong?" Shi Miaomiao asked softly.
Lian Jian slowly approached and gently stroked Shi Miaomiao's forehead, like the whisper of a lover.
"Nothing, I just want to talk to you again." Lian Jian raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
Then he patted Shi Miaomiao on the shoulder and said, "Come in. You've been tired all day. Go to bed early tonight."
Shi Miaomiao nodded and dragged her luggage towards the dormitory.
As soon as Shi Miaomiao arrived at the dormitory, she felt that the atmosphere in the dormitory was particularly depressing.
Liu Yueyue was sitting on her own bed. When she saw Shi Miaomiao coming back, her eyes were full of anticipation. Then she gestured for her to look at Li Bing'er.
Shi Miaomiao looked at Li Bing'er's bed and saw that Li Bing'er was already asleep with the curtains drawn, but Shi Miaomiao could vaguely hear a slight whimper.
She looked at Liu Yueyue with a puzzled look: What's wrong with her?
Liu Yueyue also shook her head and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear: I don’t know. As soon as she came, she packed her things and lay down on the bed without saying a few words. I could only hear her crying.
"Then what should we do now?" Shi Miaomiao asked in a very low voice.
Liu Yueyue still shook her head, and saw that she was holding the luggage in her hand, "Pack your luggage first. It's too late now. We will ask her tomorrow."
Shi Miaomiao thought that asking Bing'er now might not yield any results, so she decided to let her calm down first and then ask her about the details tomorrow. After all, there were still two days before school officially started, so they still had time to resolve the issue.
The next day, as soon as Li Bing'er got up, Shi Miaomiao and Liu Yueyue, who had already gotten up, surrounded her.
Li Bing'er looked listless, nothing like she was before the holiday. She rarely showed her emotions like this.
Shi Miaomiao and Liu Yueyue glanced at each other, and Shi Miaomiao cautiously asked, "Bing'er, are you okay?"
Li Bing'er was still in a depressed mood and shook her head, "It's okay."
Seeing that she was having trouble speaking, Liu Yueyue continued, "Bing'er, you don't look fine. You can tell us anything. If you have any difficulties, tell us and we can solve them together."
Li Bing'er couldn't help it at this time, and suddenly burst into tears. She covered her face with her hands, hunched her back, and was in great pain.
This made Shi Miaomiao and Liu Yueyue very anxious. They moved closer. Shi Miaomiao patted Li Bing'er's back soothingly and asked anxiously, "Bing'er, don't cry. Tell me and Yueyue what wronged you."
"Yes, Bing'er, tell us who bullied you and we will help you get revenge." Liu Yueyue continued.
Li Bing'er remained silent. After a while, her emotions gradually stabilized, and her voice trembled as she said, "My grandfather has lung cancer. The doctor said it's in the late stages, and he may not have much time left."
After she finished speaking, she lowered her head and sobbed, her voice so mournful and pitiful.
Shi Miaomiao and Liu Yueyue were both shocked when they heard the news. They both knew Li Bing'er's growing environment, so they knew that this news was a bolt from the blue for Li Bing'er.
Both of them felt very sorry for her. Li Bing'er was raised by her grandparents, so how could she accept this?
Shi Miaomiao thought about the cost of cancer treatment and asked with concern: "Bing'er, how much is the remaining cost of treatment? Don't hesitate. If it's not enough, we will help you find a way."
Li Bing'er shook her head. "Grandpa and grandma already have minimum living allowances, so they can be reimbursed after their hospital stay. Besides, the doctor said there's no need for further treatment."
Li Bing'er felt even more upset when she said this and started crying again.
Shi Miaomiao and Liu Yueyue didn't know how to comfort her, so they could only stay with her and wait for her to calm down.
"Is your grandfather still in the hospital now?" Shi Miaomiao asked.
Li Bing'er shook her head. "No, Grandpa has taken him home. The doctor said he has to stay in the hospital anyway."
When Shi Miaomiao and Liu Yueyue heard what Li Bing'er said, they knew that her grandfather's illness seemed to be really incurable, otherwise the doctor would not say so.
"Then do you need to take leave to go home and take care of him?" Liu Yueyue asked.
"No, grandpa told me to go to school well and I have to listen to him. This is his expectation of me." Li Bing'er wiped the tears from her face, but her eyes were extremely firm.
Shi Miaomiao and Liu Yueyue also knew what Li Bing'er was thinking. Her grandparents' greatest wish was probably for her to study hard and live a good life. So instead of watching her grandfather's body wither away bit by bit at home, it would be better for her to study hard at school.
Shi Miaomiao took a few pieces of paper and gently wiped Li Bing'er's face. "Bing'er, you have to be strong now. If you have any problems, you can come to me and Yueyue. Don't be alone, okay?"
"Yes, Bing'er, you can come to us if you need any help." Liu Yueyue also nodded affirmatively.
Li Bing'er was moved to tears, "Miaomiao, Yueyue, thank you. For grandpa and grandma, I will be strong."
Li Bing'er made up her mind again.
Seeing Li Bing'er like this, Shi Miaomiao and Liu Yueyue felt relieved. As long as people still have hope in life, they will strive to move forward.
At night, Shi Miaomiao was lying on her bed in the dormitory, still thinking about Li Bing'er. She wondered if she could help, so she called 003 out.
"003, is there no way to cure Bing'er's grandfather's illness?"
003 hadn't communicated with Shi Miaomiao for a long time, and calling it out suddenly scared it a little.
"Master, you scared me." 003 said in a trembling voice, then sighed, "Master, birth, aging, sickness, and death are normal for all things in the world. What's more, I am a good match system. Moreover, humans are born and die. In the end, everyone will die. Just be open-minded."
"I know." Shi Miaomiao was silent for a long time and only said these few words.
She knew it very well, but she just wanted to help this poor girl.
Since 003 can't do it, they should try to take better care of Bing'er in life.
After the spring semester officially started, Li Bing'er was busy with her part-time job, studies, and taking care of the family, and she rarely had any time to play with the two of them.
Shi Miaomiao and Liu Yueyue also knew about this, so they both tried to pay more attention to Li Bing'er's affairs in their lives.
At the same time, they were also thinking about another thing.
That night, Li Bing'er had just returned to the dormitory after finishing her part-time job when she was stopped by the two of them.
"Bing'er, come and sit down. We want to discuss something with you." Shi Miaomiao pushed Li Bing'er to sit down. She and Liu Yueyue looked mysterious, which made Li Bing'er blink her eyes. The long-lost curiosity was aroused.
"What's wrong? What do you two want me to do?" Li Bing'er asked.
"Hey, what am I asking you to do, Bing'er? National Day is coming soon. Do you want to go back to your hometown to see your grandpa?" Shi Miaomiao held Li Bing'er's shoulders with both hands and asked seriously.
Li Bing'er nodded.
"Yes, I'm going back on May Day. What's wrong?" she whispered softly.
Liu Yueyue smiled and patted her shoulder. "Nothing. We just wanted to ask if you could take us with you so we can go back to see your grandfather."
"Of course, we just made a suggestion. If it's not convenient, we can choose not to go." Liu Yueyue looked embarrassed.
Li Bing'er was very excited. "Of course I want you to go. My grandparents and I have always said that my two roommates are very kind to me. They have always wanted to meet you if they had the chance, but unfortunately there has never been a chance!"
"What else is there to say? We will accompany you home on May Day." Shi Miaomiao said happily.
"good."
The three of them decided to accompany Li Bing'er back to her hometown to visit her grandfather on May Day.
After washing up, Shi Miaomiao lay on the bed and thought about communicating this matter with Lian Jian in advance.
