Chapter 183 Grandmother
Xu Chi pushed open the door and walked to the bedside.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Madam Jiang and Tu Chaoxi clasping hands, and his eyes flickered slightly.
He looked at Tu Yao again and asked with a smile, "Why are you sitting on the ground?"
He naturally extended his hand as he spoke.
Tu Yao grasped his hand and helped him up. Noticing something, she suddenly leaned closer and stared at the dark circles under his eyes: "Xiao Chi, didn't you sleep well?"
As soon as she finished asking the question, Tu Yao realized that the room seemed a little quiet.
Her eyelids twitched, and she subconsciously turned her head, only to see Tu Chaoxi glaring at her menacingly in front of the hospital bed.
Tu Yao: ...
Tu Yao blinked, turned her head, and looked at Madam Jiang again.
The old lady closed the photo album and sighed helplessly.
She wanted to laugh, but suddenly felt a little indignant.
...Only when the moment came did I realize that I had watched the show too early last time.
...
Outside the ward, there was an inexplicable silence.
Xu Bai couldn't understand it, so he simply took out his phone and glanced at it before discovering a new internal email.
He clicked on it and his eyes widened instantly. It was a new maritime policy proposal submitted by his uncle early that morning.
"No way, Uncle didn't sleep all night, did he...?"
It's 10 a.m. now.
"So he didn't sleep all night and came to see my older sister?!"
Xu Bai couldn't help but mutter, "Is there such a rush? My older sister isn't going to run away..."
Cheng Sangsang immediately looked puzzled: "...You didn't sleep all night?"
So you came looking for Tu Xiaomao?
The next second, she suddenly gasped and tugged hard at Xu Bai!
He whispered, "Hey! You stinky Xu Bai! Do you remember when we were in Crane Village, your uncle called you and hinted that he had someone he liked?"
She stared intently inside. If she remembered correctly, Xu Bai's uncle had been spending every day with Tu Xiaomao lately!
Besides Tu Xiaomao, there was practically no one else!
Xu Bai was taken aback, and humbly asked, "...What is 'like' again?"
Cheng Sangsang: ? ? ?
"Didn't I tell you that back in Crane Village?"
Xu Bai scratched the back of his head: "...I forgot."
Cheng Sangsang: ...
Cheng Sangsang couldn't help but get angry, but seeing that he had traveled a long way with Wolf Fang to care for her, she still patiently replied to him.
"...Never mind, I have a new insight now, so I'll say it again."
She raised her chin with a profound expression. "Listen carefully, when you like someone, besides wanting to possess her entirely, you also suddenly worry about her and suddenly can't wait to see her!"
"No matter how far the journey, no matter how tired he is, he will set off to see me whenever he wants!"
"Do you understand?"
Xu Bai nodded in sudden realization, "Oh... I see..."
"I'm worried about her...I want to see her...no matter how far away..."
He was muttering to himself when he suddenly froze.
etc……
Realizing something, Xu Bai slowly turned his head and looked at the girl beside him.
Cheng Sangsang was smug after she finished speaking. She turned around and sat back down in her original seat. Noticing the gaze on her side, she was taken aback. "You stinky Xu Bai! Why are you looking at me like that!"
"N-nothing..."
Xu Bai slowly and stiffly turned his head back.
The next second, her ears gradually turned red.
Beside her, Cheng Sangsang's aversion to stupidity flared up again, so she simply swallowed back her earlier discovery.
She turned and glared at Xu Bai, knowing that it would be pointless to talk to him anyway!
Being glared at, Xu Bai's ears instantly turned red all the way down to his face...
...
In the ward, Tu Chaoxi preemptively asked, "Tu Xiaomao, you've been busy all morning, are you hungry? What would you like to eat?"
Tu Yao was about to shake her head, but then immediately nodded, "I'll go ask Sang Sang and the others."
After watching Tu Yao leave the ward, Madam Jiang smiled and looked at the young man in front of her: "Xiao Chi, what brings you to see our Xiao Mao?"
Upon seeing this, Lin Yue couldn't help but tug at Nan Ke's sleeve.
This time, he lowered his voice: "...Second Brother, two Milky Ways."
Nan Ke: ...
Xu Chi raised an eyebrow, looked around, and turned to leave.
Madam Jiang & Tu Chaoxi: ...
Lin Yue couldn't help but add, "But neither of the two Milky Ways can be stopped now."
Madam Jiang was lying in bed receiving an IV drip, while Tu Chaoxi was also covered in injuries.
Nan Ke: ...
Nan Ke sighed helplessly, "Say less."
Lin Yue: "...Oh."
Outside the ward, Xu Chi bumped into Tu Yao, who had just ordered her food and rushed over.
I didn't have a chance to look closely before, but now I notice that the girl's eyes also have an abnormal red tinge.
He asked softly, "...When will the results be available?"
Tu Yao was taken aback. "...Xiao Chi, you already knew before I even told you."
Xu Chi chuckled softly. After meeting Tu Xiaomao, his acceptance of everything had increased to a whole new level.
He can even believe in non-scientific things and can naturally and quickly accept any unexpected situation.
In her case, all the unexpected variables seem to have a logical basis.
"...Will you be happy?"
Tu Yao thought for a moment and then shook her head.
Xu Chi's eyes narrowed.
The next second, I saw her smile. "It's not just happiness, Xiaochi."
"I'm a little scared, a little excited, but mostly... I feel happy."
She said each word carefully and earnestly, "Xiao Chi, I feel happy."
Xu Chi gazed at her silently, without uttering a word.
Tu Yao blinked: "What's wrong?"
Xu Chi lowered his eyes and suddenly smiled.
He seemed to witness a soul that had been suspended in the upper realms from beginning to end, gradually and willingly falling to the ground and into this world.
"...I'll wait with you."
From noon to evening, not a single person left.
They are all waiting for the final result.
Until Mrs. Chiang's cell phone suddenly rang.
The room fell silent instantly.
The old lady suddenly stiffened, and instantly lost her composure.
My fingers trembled slightly as I answered the number.
A few words were spoken on the other end of the phone.
It was visibly clear that Madam Jiang's eyes turned red almost instantly.
"...Okay...Thank you."
After hanging up the phone, she, who was usually sharp-tongued, was speechless for a long time. She just looked up, her eyes half-crying and half-laughing, at the children in front of her.
In an instant, everyone understood what the outcome would be.
"……grandmother."
Tu Chaoxi was the first to awkwardly utter those two words.
Madam Jiang's tears instantly streamed down her face.
Nan Ke picked up a handkerchief from the side. "Let me wipe it off."
He said gently, "...Grandma."
Lin Yue said in a low voice at the same time, "Don't cry, Grandma."
Madam Jiang clenched her handkerchief tightly and nodded repeatedly.
"...Xiao Mao".
She looked at the girl in front of her with a final, hopeful gaze, "Why didn't you call me..."
Tu Yao grinned and said softly, "Grandma."
The moment the two words landed, Madam Jiang pulled her into her arms and lovingly stroked her head.
She thought she had cried all her tears eighteen years ago, and never imagined that after enduring such a great tragedy, such a surprise awaited her today.
Her voice was hoarse: "It's my fault... why didn't I find you sooner?"
"I've made you suffer so much."
Tu Yao tried to grin again, but this time she failed.
She buried her face in the old woman's thin shoulder, tears streaming down her face.
...It tastes different from what the dean's grandmother tastes, but it's the same temperature.
Tu Yao reached out and slowly embraced her, whispering, "...You didn't suffer."
...If the price of suffering is having a loving family today, Tu Yao feels it doesn't seem to matter.
She stood up, took the handkerchief from the old lady's hand, and, with red eyes, slowly wiped away the tears from the corners of her equally red eyes.
"...Don't cry."
Madam Jiang's tears fell even more profusely.
After a long while, she slowly stopped crying, a sharp glint flashing in her eyes.
"...Yes, I shouldn't have cried."
Across from them, Cheng Sangsang, who was watching this scene, was already sobbing uncontrollably, and Xu Bai kept handing her tissues.
Helplessly, he advised, "Miss, please stop crying... Your older sister and the others have stopped crying."
"Don't worry about me, I can't cry yet..."
Just then, Madam Jiang suddenly looked over.
Her voice was hoarse from crying, but the moment she spoke, she exuded an air of authority: "...Miss Cheng."
Cheng Sangsang was stunned, and looked up with a sob in her eyes.
"...I want to ask you some questions about Chuman."
