She had never heard any good news in this place, not about her father, not about her mother, not a single thing.
The red and white lights in the hospital were so dazzling. The IV drips above so many people's heads were like timers, dripping one drop at a time, as if counting down the life of everyone wearing a hospital gown.
Whenever she smells disinfectant in the air, it reminds her of her mother, who looked helpless and asked for directions everywhere, and herself, who followed behind her but couldn't help at all.
And there was that helpless look on Dad's face back then...
Back then, Mom could still walk...
At this point, Chen Lu naturally understood Liang Zhirou's meaning. He slowly extended his right hand, intending to hold the girl's hand, but after thinking about it, he ultimately stroked the girl's head instead.
Feeling Liang Zhirou's soft hair, he said gently, "Eat your food properly later, then get some rest. We'll leave tomorrow."
"I'll leave as soon as you wake up, okay?"
Liang Zhirou did not resist Chen Lu's actions, letting him stroke her like a kitten. In fact, this made her feel much more at ease.
"good."
She answered emphatically, her head unconsciously tilting slightly towards Chen Lu.
The oblivious girl was completely unaware that the feelings Chen Lu had sown in her heart with his gentleness were now sprouting new shoots.
The takeout arrived in less than two minutes.
Chen Lu reluctantly withdrew his hand, opened the door, and took it.
Why don't you deliver this fast when I'm starving...?
Chen Lu smiled and thanked him, but couldn't help but mentally complain.
I haven't had enough of petting him yet. I don't know what's wrong with this silly boy. His hair is so smooth and has a nice fragrance.
It seems to be a special ability of girls to be marinated in shampoo.
He sat down next to the girl with the porridge in his hand and said softly, "Open your mouth."
"I... I want to eat by myself."
"No, you don't want to. The patient should just do what a patient is supposed to do."
Night deepened.
The ward was quiet at night, and there was no one in the corridor except for two nurses on duty at the nurses' station.
Chen Lu only turned on a small lamp, the dim light shining on him, while Liang Zhirou, a little further away, had already fallen asleep.
It wasn't in vain that I carefully fed him bite by bite; this silly boy was tricked into eating quite a lot of food.
Chen Lu looked at the sleeping girl and smiled with satisfaction. Then he continued to look down at his phone. As he smiled, the phone turned off by itself.
Oh no, I came in such a rush I forgot to bring a charger...
He walked slowly to Liang Zhirou's side, poked her cheek, and whispered:
"Can I borrow your phone for a moment? I'll use it to find a place to rent a power bank."
The girl gave a soft hum and groggily rubbed her cheek against Chen Lu's fingers, "Okay."
Chen Lu slowly picked up his phone. "What's your phone password?"
"It's your birthday."
