The girl nodded vigorously and leaned against Chen Lu. "I want to be a kind person in the future."
Chen Lu smiled at her, his eyes full of affection, and said truthfully, "You are what you are, which is why this happened."
Liang Zhirou found it very pleasing, but she didn't say anything more, she just took a deep breath.
After the initial feeling of unreality, what followed was a persistent tension. After all, the waiting process is the most terrifying.
Chen Lu reached out and touched the girl's cheek, then pinched it hard and pulled out a piece of flesh.
"It hurts a little..."
Liang Zhirou kept her eyes tightly closed on that side and said in a wronged tone.
She's so naive; even in this situation, she doesn't know to move away, and instead just keeps crying out in pain.
"It's good that it hurts. Who told you not to come to me when you're in trouble?" Chen Lu forced back the smile that was creeping up his face as he looked at the girl with a stern expression.
"I can only turn to you..." Liang Zhirou pouted slightly. Chen Lu was the only person she could rely on. "I just hesitated for a moment."
"Why? Is it because you're afraid I'll find you a burden?"
The girl gave a soft "hmm"—she had hidden away and cried for an unknown amount of time that afternoon when she heard that Xiao Xunfang needed surgery.
She kept wiping away tears as she opened her phone's contact list and moved her finger to Chen Lu's name, but she couldn't bring herself to make the call.
She repeated this process countless times until her eyes were no longer red and swollen before returning home to cook for her mother.
She knew, of course, that Chen Lu would come to help her immediately, but she still hesitated.
Not daring to trouble others, fearing that requests will be ignored... all these habits have been ingrained in my bones over the years and are not so easy to change.
"I know I was wrong."
Before Chen Lu could continue pinching her, Liang Zhirou quickly whispered, lowered her head slightly, and looked at him with her bright eyes blinking.
No boy could resist this scene, and Chen Lu was no exception.
Chen Lu continued to reach out with his hand that was suspended in mid-air, and helped the girl fix her bangs, then hummed softly, "Good to know."
"Looks like it's necessary to let you know just how amazing your boyfriend is. Wait until the company stabilizes in two months..."
At this moment, a doctor opened the office door, poked half his body out, and asked the two:
Are you Xiao Xunfang's family members?
"right."
Chen Lu stood up and responded in a deep voice, then asked anxiously, "When can the surgery be scheduled?"
"We started making arrangements a couple of days ago, and the surgery can be performed tomorrow." The doctor, wearing square-framed glasses, explained earnestly, "Because this is not a routine surgery, not everyone can do it, so we can't just do it on the spot."
Actually, the fact that the surgery could be scheduled for tomorrow was the result of a number of "force majeure" factors.
Upon hearing Chen Lu's "yes," Liang Zhirou closed her slightly open mouth again, lowered her head, pursed her lips, and quietly moved a little closer to Chen Lu.
As a result, Chen Lu seemed to have eyes in the side of his head, and immediately noticed the girl's movements, and held her hand tightly.
"Okay. So, what are the prospects after the surgery...? Are they optimistic?"
Chen Lu continued to ask in a low voice, "Since Xiao Xunfang was admitted to the hospital in the morning, she has been undergoing all sorts of tests, big and small, and she was busy until the afternoon before she could finally lie down in bed."
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt Liang Zhirou grip his hand much tighter, with a force completely different from usual. Clearly, this simpleton was unaware of it.
Chen Lu squeezed her hand back a little harder, gently rubbing her thumb twice to signal her not to be nervous.
"The surgeon is a leader in our field, and the expected outcome is relatively optimistic." The doctor looked at the report and sighed. "Actually, her condition was quite treatable. If she had undergone surgery from the beginning, she would have had no problem fully recovering her normal functions."
"The most optimistic outcome right now is that I can walk again; running and jumping are very difficult."
On the side that Liang Zhirou couldn't see, Chen Lu finally loosened his tightly clenched fist and chuckled, "Even so, we are very satisfied. Thank you for your hard work."
As long as there's a chance for things to improve, the money will be well spent.
At least I tried.
The doctor nodded and handed the examination report to Chen Lu. "There's nothing else to worry about. Remember, you can't eat or drink anything six to eight hours before the surgery."
He closed the door after he finished speaking, and the other man, who had approached with the report wanting to ask something, could only go back to the side and continue to wait patiently.
This anxious and forlorn expression is all too common in hospitals, which is why Chen Lu hates this place.
Chen Lu held Liang Zhirou's hand, and the two walked side by side toward Xiao Xunfang's ward. The floor in the corridor had obviously just been mopped, and there were still water stains on it. The pungent smell of disinfectant kept filling Chen Lu's nostrils, making him very unhappy.
That way, even if you get very close, you won't be able to smell the fragrance of that silly-looking hair.
"Let's continue talking about what we were just talking about," Chen Lu said, noticing that Liang Zhirou was still a little nervous. He changed the subject.
"In two months, I'll show you just how much money your boyfriend makes."
WeChat mini-games are different from mobile games that come with a license. Those mobile games often generate the most revenue when they first launch, which is why so many anime-themed mobile games have explosive revenue on their first day, but then gradually fade away.
Mini-games on the platform often need one or two months to mature before they experience a surge in popularity.
