Chapter 62: The Convexity
When Lin Hua heard that Ling Xiao was leaving, he immediately became like a rooster with its feathers blown off, losing his usual elegance.
He bombarded Ling Xiao with a barrage of words: "Ling Xiao, are you still a human being? Li Li spent so much effort to save you, and now not only are you ungrateful, but you just leave without saying anything?"
Lin Li hurried over to pull Lin Hua back and advised: "Second brother, stop arguing. Ling Xiao is a free individual. We have no right to deprive him of his freedom..."
Then, Lin Lu said to Ling Xiao calmly: "But Ling Xiao, although you are awake now, you still need to continue treatment. If you don't object to me continuing to find medicine for you, then I will continue to help you. Even if you go to someone else's house, I can still visit you. But if you don't need me, then..."
Before Lin Li could finish, Lin Hua jumped up again: "Li Li, why are you so kind? Is it worth it for such a person?"
But he said this, then he changed his mind and decided not to say it too harshly. Now he just wanted to wake Ling Xiao up, but he didn't really want to offend Ling Xiao.
So he threatened Ling Xiao again, "Ling Xiao! As long as you can sober up, I will give you a chance to admit your mistake! Now as long as you admit your mistake, I will still recognize you as my friend! Otherwise..."
Lin Hua was too noisy, and Lin Li couldn't make up his mind.
She concentrated her mental energy to listen to Ling Xiao's inner voice, but Ling Xiao's mind was blank.
I don’t know if he didn’t think about anything or if his thoughts were buried too deep.
Lin Hua didn't wait for Ling Xiao's apology, and even Lin Li was silent, so he became even angrier and scolded Ling Xiao even louder.
"Ling Xiao! I don't know if you have any awareness these days, and whether you have heard the conversation between me and Lili! I think you can listen to some of it! Then did you hear that Lili, who gets a headache when she sees a book, has been reading every day for you!"
The book was brought by Lin Hua.
Although Lin Hua had long lost hope and had never thought about making a name for himself, reading was his habit.
The harder and harder the days were, the more he had to study to keep himself going.
"And Lili even uses books as her pillow when she sleeps! Do you know which book she uses as her pillow?" Lin Hua continued to question.
Lin Li tried hard to recall the book she used as a pillow when sleeping. Could it be that it had any meaning to Ling Xiao?
But she couldn't remember the meaning.
In fact, she sleeps with a book as a pillow, simply because she doesn't want to use a pillow.
But when her second brother asked her, she was too embarrassed to tell the truth, so she said arrogantly: "I envy my second brother for his knowledge. I also want to learn, but I am often lazy. In order to remind myself not to be lazy, I always keep a book with me..."
In reality, she was just hunching over because of her habitual body shape, and she wanted to correct it as quickly as possible.
Lying flat on your back every time you sleep without a pillow and using only a book as a pillow can indeed straighten the bent cervical spine, but it is too violent and risky, so it is not usually recommended.
She was eager to achieve success in this way because it was the fastest way.
She personally believes that she is only 20 years old and her bones are at their healthiest and can still develop. She is flexible and dares to stretch for a long time.
Young people also have better sleep quality. They can continue sleeping even if their bones are corrected while they are asleep, which is much better than when they are awake.
In fact, this is not Lin Li’s original idea. In this era when medicine was underdeveloped, most people used violent correction methods to treat many problems of distorted bone development.
For example, if a child has bow legs, the adults will force the child to hold a straight stick and tie him up when he falls asleep.
Children also have very good sleep quality, so they will continue to sleep even if it is uncomfortable for their bones to be corrected. They will not resist if it is a little uncomfortable like when they are awake.
Lin Li herself knows why she has a hunchback. When she was 16 or 17 years old, other girls at the airport would laugh at her for having a C cup, so in order to cover it up, she didn't dare to straighten her shoulders.
Others have well-developed arms, broad shoulders and thick arms due to years of climbing up and down hills, but their feminine features are not obvious. Even Tan Weiwei, who is gentle and beautiful and is called a fairy, is also petite, with narrow shoulders and thin arms like Lin Li, but she is also an airport girl.
Lin Li herself envied Tan Weiwei's beauty, and then she foolishly envied the airport, where she looked good in tight clothes.
As for Lin Li herself, she always wants to wear loose sweaters, let alone coats, so that her figure will not be highlighted.
So all my clothes are baggy and never fit me.
But Lin Li, who traveled through time, would not feel inferior because of her curvy figure. She required herself to have straight back and waist lines when standing, and to hold her chest high, head up, and stomach in, so that she would feel confident.
So these two days, even if she wore baggy clothes, you could still see her curvy figure. She had the same figure in her previous life, and she was used to her own charm, so she didn't think it was a problem.
She did see that the female nurses with similar body shapes liked to wear tight clothes. Every time she left, other nurses would spit at her and talk about her, calling her a vixen, a slut, or something like that...
But Lin Li couldn't possibly care about these.
Just yesterday she had the chance to go shopping for clothes, and she bought new clothes for Lin Hua and Jun Rui, but she didn't buy herself a set of fitting clothes, but continued to wear baggy clothes because she didn't really like the styles of clothes of this era.
She only bought two meters of floral cotton fabric, hoping to find a tailor to make her a better-looking dress. She would then provide the design herself.
Lin Li was just thinking about how to persuade Lin Hua to stop getting angry, but he heard Lin Hua continue to roar.
She was still mad at Ling Xiao: "Lili has been reading your favorite book these days! It's the treasured edition your grandma gave you. The first edition of the Beijing edition published in July 1959, with the annotations deleted. That book is like your lifeblood, you have memorized it by heart. But that book is not something that Lili, who can only recognize a few words, can understand! Lili usually has a headache reading very simple books, but she has been working hard to study this book! So can you feel now how much Lili cares about you recently!"
Lin Li shuddered.
Oh, she remembered!
He secretly collected a lot of ancient books on the ceiling of his house. On the surface, they were all Lin Hua's books, but in fact, they were all Ling Xiao's.
It was because Lin Hua and Ling Xiao both loved books that they established such a deep friendship.
In the remote countryside, Lin Hua, who loves ancient books, feels extremely lonely.
No one around him would understand him.
Even people around him will reject him.
How could I be willing to let him spend money to buy books?
So later, he suddenly met a kid four years younger than him who also liked ancient books (Ling Xiao, who was eleven or twelve years old at that time). This kid became the only light in his heart, and he naturally wanted to protect Ling Xiao with his life.
When Ling Xiao came, he didn't bring any books with him. It was a year later that he asked Lin Hua to secretly go to the county town.
He wanted Lin Hua to go see his seriously ill grandmother Wu Chenliang on his behalf.
So those ancient books were given to Ling Xiao by his grandmother Wu Chenliang.
Later, Wu Chenliang passed away, and those books became the last remembrance Wu Chenliang left to Ling Xiao.
Among them, there is a set of books divided into two volumes, which is Wu Chenliang's favorite.
It is very likely that these are the two books that Lin Li has been reading these days. She read the first volume first and used the second volume as her pillow at night. She planned to finish the first volume in a few days and then read the second volume, so the first volume would be her pillow.
But Lin Li never dreamed that just reading a book could cause such a big mistake.
Lin Hua would feel that she was studying hard for Ling Xiao, and she would force herself to read even if she didn't understand the book.
There is nothing wrong with her not only understanding it but also enjoying it very much.
But now, she couldn't explain herself at all.
