With Yun Jin and the others arriving, He Tingchuan became incredibly cooperative, doing whatever they asked and being manipulated at will. As long as someone was by his side, he felt much more at ease.
Yun Jin inquired about Doctor He Tingchuan's condition, revealing that he had been injured by poison gas.
It's unclear where the poison gas came from, but it damaged He Tingchuan's eyes, and many others died instantly.
Yun Jin asked, "Is there any possibility that my eyes can recover?"
The doctor looked serious but reassured them, "Let's try treatment first and see how it goes. We'll do everything we can to save the patient, so please don't worry. As long as the patient cooperates with the treatment, there is hope for a full recovery!"
Yun Jin nodded hopefully and went back with Mother He to find He Tingchuan.
Fortunately, he brought Xiao Nian Gao with him. With Xiao Nian Gao around, He Tingchuan had someone to talk to and someone to keep him company. He wouldn't get depressed or have wild thoughts about what he would do after he went blind.
The little rice cake is like a little sun, warming him.
The father and daughter huddled together, talking about something. Little Rice Cake giggled, and He Tingchuan's lips curled into a smile.
Seeing this, Mrs. He said, "Luckily, Nian Gao came along. The fact that he smiled proves that everything is alright."
Yun Jin nodded in agreement.
The two walked over, and He Tingchuan, hearing footsteps, asked, "You're back. What did the doctor say?"
"Rest well, you'll be fine." Yun Jin placed her hands on his shoulders. "Want to go for a walk and get some sun?"
“Okay!” He Tingchuan said without saying a word.
Little Rice Cake held her father's hand and said, "Daddy, be careful when you go down the stairs. Yes, just like that, one step, two steps, and another step. Wow, Daddy is so amazing!"
He Tingchuan: "..."
When the others saw He Tingchuan with his eyes bandaged, they knew he had injured his eyes and automatically made way to avoid bumping into him, allowing the father and daughter to slowly descend the stairs. Yun Jin and He's mother exchanged a glance, a hint of comfort in their eyes.
There was an open space outside the hospital.
Xiao Niangao sat down on a rock in the open space with her father. Yun Jin took a water bottle and gave He Tingchuan and Xiao Niangao water. They also ate some fruit that they hadn't finished on the train.
After peeling, each person gets a piece.
He Tingchuan slowly ate the fruit Yun Jin had given him, leaning against Xiao Niangao in his arms. Yun Jin sat beside him, and he leaned closer to her. With her by his side, He Tingchuan felt a sense of happiness.
They had a simple dinner at the hospital cafeteria that evening. Yun Jin stayed at the hospital with her, while He's mother took Xiao Niangao to the guesthouse to rest.
Little Rice Cake didn't want to go.
Yun Jin said, "The bed for the caregiver is too small to sleep two people. How about this, I'll stay with you tonight, and you can stay with me tomorrow night?"
Little Rice Cake nodded and followed Mother He back to rest.
By the end of the day, Mrs. He was exhausted.
After they left, the couple had a lot more peace and quiet. If there weren't other people in the ward, they would have hugged for a while.
There were no outsiders present, so Yun Jin felt embarrassed, and He Tingchuan didn't want to be watched either. They held hands, their fingers intertwined. Yun Jin stroked his face, not daring to touch the corner of his eye where he had applied medicine.
Smelling the scent on He Tingchuan, Yun Jin frowned: "How long has it been since you last showered?"
He Tingchuan blushed: "One...one week."
Yun Jin: "......"
Ten minutes later, He Tingchuan sat on the stool, embarrassed. He was completely naked, having been stripped naked by Yun Jin. Yun Jin wasn't very good at taking care of patients, but she was good at taking care of He Tingchuan.
Your eyes should not get wet, but your body can.
After Yun Jin wet the person, she began to scrub them by hand. After applying soap and rinsing them clean, she started to scrub again.
While scrubbing himself, he complained, "Ugh, I can scrub earthworms off my body."
"..." He Tingchuan's ears turned red.
"My goodness, you haven't washed yourself for more than a week!"
"..." He Tingchuan's face also turned red.
"I need to scrub you a bit more. Your daughter really loves you; she's so dirty but still likes to stick to you!"
"..." He Tingchuan's lips curled up.
"Don't be shy, we're husband and wife, and I don't mind!" Yun Jin smiled and removed He Tingchuan's hand to keep him out of the way. Why was she being so secretive? It's not like she hadn't seen it before.
"..." He Tingchuan was like a boiled shrimp.
That's not all; after cleaning him up, she even gave him a little something extra.
The two lingered in the shower room for a while. When He Tingchuan came out of the shower room, he looked refreshed and clean, and his beard had been shaved, making him look much more handsome.
Yun Jin carried out the basin, her hands trembling slightly. She admired the bathhouse ladies who scrubbed potatoes every day. Didn't their hands get sore, numb, or hurt?
She gets exhausted after just one rub.
Of course, let's not even mention those perks.
After settling He Tingchuan in, Yun Jin took a hot shower; after two days on the train, she smelled sour and smelly.
By the time they figured it out, the patient next door had fallen asleep and started snoring.
Yun Jin took out her own cot and lay down next to He Tingchuan's bed. He Tingchuan reached out and was hugged and kissed by Yun Jin; "Sleep, I'm right here. Tell me if you need anything."
"My dear wife, you've worked hard." He Tingchuan patted her head.
Yun Jin rubbed her face against his palm: "You need to get better quickly so I won't have to suffer so much, okay?"
He Tingchuan nodded.
This was the most restful night He Tingchuan had slept since his injury; it was so good to have his wife by his side.
The next day, Yun Jin woke up early. While the other people in the ward were moving around and washing up, Yun Jin couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard she tried.
When she woke up and drew back the curtains, He Tingchuan was already awake. Hearing her movement, he said, "It's still early. If you're sleepy, go back to sleep a little longer."
"No, I'm hungry." Yun Jin hadn't eaten much last night, and it wasn't very oily or greasy, so she got hungry quickly.
He Tingchuan listened as she went to wash up, and then she brushed his teeth and washed his face for him. He Tingchuan brushed his teeth himself, but Yun Jin helped him wash his face.
After they finished washing up, Xiao Niangao arrived, brought by He's mother. She also brought a lunchbox, which she had bought at a noodle shop outside: "Nian Gao said you all like pork offal noodles, and it just so happens that they sell them outside."
"Thank you, Mom." Yun Jin took the food, set up a small dining table for He Tingchuan, and asked, "Have you eaten?"
"I've eaten. Little Rice Cake will eat with you." Looking at He Tingchuan, who looked much better today, Mrs. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Yun Jin took the little rice cake over and let her eat with her.
He Tingchuan is blind and has difficulty eating rice noodles, so his mother feeds him.
He Tingchuan was a little embarrassed. His mother said, "When you were little, I fed you. Your wife had to eat by herself and feed Xiao Nian Gao. She didn't have time to feed you. Don't worry, I didn't poison you."
He Tingchuan: "..."
He's honest and simple, and he'll eat whatever you feed him.
Little Rice Cake covered her mouth and laughed, and Yun Jin couldn't help but laugh too.
The mother and daughter struggled to suppress their laughter.
He Tingchuan heard the laughter, turned his head to face them, and if his eyes hadn't been injured, he would definitely have stared at the mother and daughter, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Looking at the mother and daughter laughing foolishly, Mrs. He couldn't help but smile as well.
The person in the next bed looked at this family laughing foolishly, wondering what they were laughing about.
They can still laugh in the hospital, they're so optimistic!
