Chapter 51 She is gentle and sweet, and he is just
Ling Xiao's eyes were fixed on the ceiling without blinking.
The memories of the past two years were intermittent and hazy, and he didn't believe this was real.
But when he tried to move his body, it felt as if he weighed a thousand pounds. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't budge even a bit. He had no choice but to accept this reality.
Even after waking up, he still couldn't move.
I used to move easily amidst the hail of bullets, and all I thought about every day was to survive or die. But I never expected that one day I would be hanging on to this breath.
He couldn't accept this and wanted to die quickly.
But the soft and sweet voice singing a song in my ears was so beautiful and dreamy.
It was really strange, why did he feel that the person seemed to have become a completely different person.
Even though the original Lin Li had three years of education and knew a few words, his thinking was very narrow and ignorant. Perhaps a person can really change his character completely by escaping death, restraining his arrogance and domineering, and changing from being selfish and vicious to learning to be compassionate and empathetic.
However, insight, learning, and conversation require the accumulation of knowledge...
Suddenly he remembered what Lin Li had said to him in his daze, about a dream, two lives, two worlds...
Lin Li saw that baby Junrui seemed to be asleep. Although his chubby little hands were still moving around, his expression was peaceful and his breathing was cute and obedient.
So Lin Li was so sleepy that his eyelids were fighting, so he moved directly to the bed, used the baby as a pillow, and fell asleep in a second.
There were voices coming from outside the ward door, but Lin Li didn't wake up.
Ling Xiao had his eyes open but immediately closed them again.
He really doesn't want to wake up...
Outside the door, Lin Hua asked the nurse, "Is Sister Liu still here?"
The nurse replied: “He has left.”
Then Lin Hua opened the door and saw that Lin Li and baby Junrui were both asleep, so he tiptoed in.
Looks like lunch will have to wait a while.
But if he went out too late, he wouldn't be able to buy it, so he thought of buying it first, and when the girl woke up, he could ask the nurses to help heat up the meal.
…
evening.
Lin Hua fed Ling Xiao goat's milk, but was depressed to find that Ling Xiao refused to swallow it and always spit it out.
It happens over and over again.
He said to Lin Li in a panic: "Li Li, I feel that Ling Xiao's condition is not right. I will go find a doctor..."
Lin Lu pressed his hand in the air: "Wait, wait, don't worry, second brother, are you saying that he has lost consciousness again and has difficulty swallowing like before? That doesn't prove that there is something wrong with him. Let me take a look..."
Junrui just came back from outside, shouting, "Mom... I'm back... "
Because he was running so fast, his little voice was trembling, which was very nice to hear.
Lin Hua was so scared that he quickly walked over to greet the baby and said, "Junrui, run slower, don't fall..."
There were very few four-wheeled vehicles in hospital compounds at that time, so it was safe for children to play outside.
There were also children of hospital staff who would play in the compound. Lin Li deliberately let Junrui learn to take the initiative to find other children to play with, and he always encouraged him.
Now, Lin Li has come to Ling Xiao's bed and is carefully feeding him goat's milk.
Sure enough, one spoonful of food is fed and one spoonful of food is vomited.
Even a tiny drop of it, the amount that could penetrate like before, now can't penetrate.
It won't be vomited out all at once, but if you feed it too much, it will accumulate and overflow.
Lin Hua held Junrui and stood by, watching. Then he said, "Look, Ling Xiao's condition has really gotten worse again... We must see a doctor..."
Lin Li shook his head.
She put her hand on Ling Xiao's arm and said softly, "Ling Xiao, I know you are in pain. I also know that lying still for two years is a life-threatening thing. But I am very confident in Mu Qing's herbs. Give me some time, just three days. If you cooperate well, I can wake you up in three days, is that okay?"
Then, Lin Li tried hard to concentrate her mental strength. She was afraid that if Ling Xiao's condition was really serious, his inner voice would be very weak, and she would have to try hard to listen again.
But unexpectedly, Ling Xiao's inner voice was very clear: [I have already woken up... but I am still a useless person... I don't want to wake up...]
Lin Li didn't know that Ling Xiao meant that he could open his eyes now. He thought she meant: I have regained consciousness...
"Ah..." Lin Li sighed heavily, still negotiating in a gentle voice, "Ling Xiao, how about I promise you that in three days, I will let you move your arms and you will be able to stand up with my help. Then I will buy you a wheelchair, and you can go out in the wheelchair by yourself. I promise you, give me three days, and cooperate well in these three days, okay?"
Lin Li anxiously used a little force.
Ling Xiao felt that the pair of small hands holding his arms were as gentle as Lin Li's voice.
She is even gentler than Tan Weiwei back then.
This calmed his irritable heart for a moment.
Lin Hua really wanted to tell Lin Li that since Ling Xiao couldn't even swallow, he wouldn't be able to hear what he said.
But he was afraid that saying it out loud would hurt the girl's feelings.
After thinking about it, he decided to go see a doctor secretly.
Then he carried Junrui out.
Lin Li didn't notice that Lin Hua went out.
Her hand slid down and held Ling Xiao's hand.
He said firmly: "Ling Xiao, I know that for a man like you who was once an invincible sharpshooter and a hero who never lost a weight-carrying race, to now be reduced to the point where even taking care of yourself has become a luxury, is really worse than death. But I really promise you that as long as you can get through this, you can still be the good man who climbed up and down the mountain effortlessly and was full of vigor. Isn't this a million times better than dying in depression?"
Ling Xiao was very angry. He was thinking: [Why are you so sure? Is it because of your poor medical skills?]
Lin Li shook his head: "I know my medical skills are not good enough. But the herbs I got are good enough. Now you are more aware. As long as you drink this bowl of goat milk, I will boil some medicine for you to drink. You can taste it again to see if those herbs are very effective."
Ling Xiao was stunned...
Why did he feel clearly that Lin Li could hear what he was thinking?
He didn't believe this was a coincidence. There weren't so many coincidences in the world...
"Come, drink this goat milk first, otherwise it will get cold." Lin Li coaxed softly, "Three days is not a big deal for you, be good and be obedient..."
The last three words made Ling Xiao dizzy.
From childhood to adulthood, even his mother never said these three words to him...
Lin Li thought about it and tried to help Ling Xiao clear his psychological barriers again: "I know that what you can't stand the most is that you always need others to take care of your physical hygiene. But think about it again. Ten years ago, when my second brother had smallpox, you also took care of him without taking off your clothes."
He stretched out his other hand and wiped the stain from the corner of Ling Xiao's lips.
Lin Li moved his face closer and looked carefully at Ling Xiao's eyebrows.
Don’t mention it, this man was just good-looking when I first saw him, but I didn’t find him very memorable.
But maybe it's because I've taken care of him so often in the past few days, so I've developed some feelings for him and now I find him quite attractive.
When he first saw Lin Hua opening his shirt and exposing his skin, Lin Li looked at it as if he was looking at a piece of wood, without feeling anything.
But now seeing Ling Xiao's open collar, revealing his collarbone and the area below his shoulders...
The muscles are not the exaggerated ones, nor are they eight-pack abs, but in Lin Li's opinion, they are just the most tense ones, which are both beautiful and masculine.
He's been lying down for two whole years and is so thin, but his muscles are still there. It's... quite surprising.
The muscles in Ling Xiao's arms are more obvious because his arm strength is the kind that will make people exclaim in amazement.
Of course, since he has strong arms, his chest muscles are also obvious.
