But after I said it, I felt relieved, as if the burden on my shoulders had been lifted.
Xiao Yuchi originally thought that given Old Lady Ning's personality, she would definitely tell him everything, but unexpectedly, she just paused.
"I've never asked anyone for anything in my life. I just ask you to take good care of her... She's going to school soon."
The rest of Mrs. Ning's words were stuck in her throat, but both of them knew what she meant.
Especially Xiao Yuchi felt even more guilty.
"I will, grandma. Like I said, I will definitely find the best doctor to help Zhihuan recover his arm as best as possible, no matter how long it takes or how much it costs."
There seemed to be tears in the corners of Old Mrs. Ning's eyes. She raised her hand to wipe them, nodded, went into the house, took Li Xueyan's hand and left.
Before leaving, she just told Ning Zhihuan to take good care of herself and to tell Ning Hong if she needed anything or wanted to eat something.
She made it herself and delivered it personally.
Ning Zhihuan raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that Xiao Yuchi had such ability and could actually deal with Old Lady Ning.
What was even more unexpected was that Old Mrs. Ning actually let Ning Hong stay as well.
Ning Hong, who hurried over, felt mixed emotions when she heard what Old Lady Ning said.
I was happy that I could stay with a clear conscience, but I was unhappy that I had to take care of Ning Zhihuan.
It’s a headache just thinking about it.
Ning Zhihuan knew what she was thinking at a glance. He was not interested in her thoughts, but looked at Xiao Yuchi who was standing at the door with curiosity.
She was still very curious about how he had convinced Old Lady Ning.
Old Mrs. Ning was sent away. Before leaving, Ning Zhihuan specifically mentioned the matter of clothes and asked Widow Xu from the neighboring village to go and shout, thinking that she had a loud voice. Chen Zhu only needed to accompany her and teach her the process.
Old Mrs. Ning nodded and said nothing.
Ning Zhihuan keenly noticed that something was wrong with her, but Old Lady Ning was about to leave and she wouldn't stay long.
I guess he's still angry with her.
When she decided to save Xiao Yuchi regardless of her own life, she felt sorry for the love, care and concern that the Ning family had for her.
This time I injured my arm, what about next time?
So she understood Old Mrs. Ning.
She didn't explain anything, because there was nothing to explain. She just called Old Lady Ning sweetly when she was about to go out, and promised that she would get better as soon as possible and go to school early.
Old Mrs. Ning paused, without looking back, and was supported by Li Xueyan as she walked away.
Ning Zhihuan felt indescribable bitterness as she stared at the somewhat staggering figure of Old Lady Ning. Xiao Yuchi walked in naturally with things in his hands, helped her raise the bed, took out the small table, and placed the food on it one by one.
Xiaolongbao, steamed buns, steamed cakes, porridge...they are all relatively light foods, but fortunately they are well fed.
It was at this time that she remembered that she seemed to have not eaten breakfast, and her stomach began to protest.
Ning Zhihuan blushed slightly, and avoided Xiao Yuchi's gaze somewhat embarrassedly.
"Sorry, I'm late." Xiao Yuchi's pleasant voice sounded in his ears, still clear but with a little less coldness.
I don’t know if it was her illusion.
It was indeed very late now, already eleven o'clock, and she thought no one would come to bring her food.
"Thank you." Ning Zhihuan answered briefly and concisely, completely different from her usual chattering self.
Ever since she found out that her hand was injured, she became a completely different person. She became a little dull and quiet, and always liked to stare out the window in a daze by herself.
This is what the nurse told him.
Ning Hong stood at the door, not knowing whether to come in or not. In the end, she decided to sit next to Xiao Yuchi.
"Do you want to go out for a walk today?" Xiao Yuchi asked.
Ning Zhihuan shook his head.
"How about the food? Is it to your liking? I'll ask Uncle An to bring it to you tonight."
Ning Zhihuan nodded, indicating that there was no need to go to so much trouble as long as the food was to his liking.
The questions and answers between the two seemed a bit awkward. Ning Zhihuan didn't resent him. After all, it was his own decision. He just didn't know how to face him.
"You... don't want to see me?" Xiao Yuchi asked cautiously, looking at her with a fear he had never felt before.
Yes, he was afraid.
When he was twelve years old, so many people died in front of him, whether to protect him or to kill him. Rivers of blood flowed. His parents wanted to send him away to protect him. He was confused, but not afraid.
Today, he is a little afraid, afraid that Ning Zhihuan will hate him, although this is reasonable.
Ning Zhihuan didn't say anything. She just felt that she was also in a mess. Although her body was still in the ward, her heart had already followed Old Lady Ning back to the Ning family yard.
She wanted to know the situation at home, how Old Mrs. Ning was doing, whether Ning Qinghua knew the news, and how he would react.
Are they all anxious and worried about themselves?
She also wanted to know about her own hands.
Ning Zhihuan turned his gaze to his hand, which was in a heavy plaster cast and was swollen beyond recognition.
From the shoulder to the wrist, it was all wrapped in plaster, and there was no trace of its original appearance.
She had tried to move her hands these days, but what frightened her was that she seemed to have no feeling.
She didn't want to face it and didn't dare to face it.
The same goes for Xiao Yuchi.
Ning Hong wanted to speak several times, but always stopped herself.
The room was silent, with only the sound of Ning Zhihuan chewing.
In fact, she was full and very hungry, so she couldn't eat too much. However, she didn't want to put down her chopsticks or answer questions, so she repeated the feeding action like a machine, mouthful by mouthful.
If you keep your hands and mouth busy, you don't have to answer those questions.
Xiao Yuchi was also surprisingly patient. He just watched her from the side, without urging her or leaving. It was unknown how much time had passed, until Ning Zhihuan had finished the last steamed bun in her bowl and was forced to stop eating. Only then did she put down her chopsticks.
Xiao Yuchi took the initiative to pack up his things, then sat by the bed and chatted with Ning Zhihuan. He peeled an apple for her, and told Ning Hong a lot of things before leaving.
Before leaving, he turned around and said to Ning Zhihuan, "I'll come back to bring you dinner when I have time tonight."
Taiwan has been very active during this period, and he was caught off guard.
Although everything is going on the right track now, he still has a lot of things to take care of.
He waited for a long time but did not get Ning Zhihuan's answer. It was so long that when he thought Ning Zhihuan would not answer him, she said the first words to him today.
She said, "Don't bother, grandma and second aunt will come and bring the food."
