chapter144

Winter goes to spring, time flies.

In April, spring blossoms in Los Angeles and everything recovers.

On Friday, Qiao Yaoyu didn't have classes, so he got up early in the morning and drove to the Second Affiliated Hospital in Los Angeles.

When Qiao Yaoyu came over, he specially bought a large box of cherries.

After Cheng Rao lived here, Qiao Yaoyu would often come over, and the person in charge of taking care of Cheng Rao already knew him.

Qiao Yaoyu wore a sky blue sweatshirt today, he was carrying a cherry in his hand, and when he walked to the door of the room, he happened to meet Cheng Rao's caretaker.

Qiao Yaoyu stopped, glanced inside, and asked her, "How is she doing in the past two days?" ”

"The same old way." The caretaker sighed and said, "There was another fuss last night, and there was no choice but to tie it up with a rope." ”

Hearing her say this, Qiao Yaoyu's face changed: "Didn't I say don't use a rope?" ”

“…… Sorry, I can't help this. She bowed to Qiao Yaoyu, "She was suddenly very excited last night, poking her arm vigorously with a steel ruler, and I also thought about her safety......"

Listening to her words, Qiao Yaoyu squeezed the bag in his hand.

"Have you taken any medicine?" He asked.

"Well, I've already eaten it in the morning, and it's much better now, so you can go in and have a look." The caregiver made a way for Qiao Yaoyu.

Qiao Yaoyu nodded and walked into the ward with cherries.

As soon as I entered, I saw Cheng Rao tied to the bed with a rope.

She was so thin now, her eye sockets were sunken, her face was as white as a ghost, and her hair was messy.

She was thin before, but she still had a little flesh on her legs.

Right now...... The two legs are like chopsticks.

The smallest size of the hospital gown hung on the body, and it was all loose and baggy.

Qiao Yaoyu put the cherry in her hand on the cabinet next to her, then squatted in front of the hospital bed, raised her hand and arranged her hair.

At this moment, Cheng Rao's consciousness seemed to be relatively clear, and after seeing Qiao Yaoyu, she actually smiled.

"You're here." There was excitement in her voice, like a child.

Qiao Yaoyu still can't get used to Cheng Rao's talking like this, probably because her previous attitude has been too cold.

But after that...... That's all she did.

Recalling what happened half a year ago, Qiao Yaoyu's breathing was a little unsmooth-

That day, Cheng Rao learned that the child in her belly was gone, and she was so emotional that she fainted.

When I woke up later, I didn't remember anything, and I was crazy.

Later, the doctor diagnosed her and said that she was a stress reaction caused by an overblow, probably because the memories of the past were too painful, so she forgot about it this time.

At that time, the doctor suggested that she be sent directly to the Second Affiliated Hospital, but Huang Ping refused.

In fact, Qiao Yaoyu can also understand Huang Ping's mentality, how can she bear Cheng Rao's daughter?

Besides, what is the location of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Los Angeles, and who does not know the people in the whole city?

When elementary and junior high school students joke on the street, if they want to scold each other for being crazy, they will say that they will send them to the Second Affiliated Hospital.

That time, Huang Ping did not listen to the doctor's advice, and after staying in the hospital for two days, she took Cheng Rao home.

As a result, after returning home, there was no peace.

Cheng Rao's condition is really serious, and in the first few days after returning home, she would self-harm almost every day without blinking her eyes.

Not only that, but they also drop things and hit people.

She didn't know anyone, and at home, she was like a lonely ghost.

Despite this, Huang Ping still couldn't bear to send her to the Second Affiliated Hospital.

Until one time, on the weekend, when eating at home at noon, Cheng Rao suddenly picked up a fork and pierced the artery in her neck, and blood immediately spurted out.

Qiao Yaoyu was also there at that time, and he couldn't forget that scene in his life.

On the way to the hospital, Huang Ping was trembling with tears.

After that incident, Huang Ping finally followed the doctor's advice and made up her mind to send Cheng Rao to the Second Affiliated Hospital.

Pinching her fingers, she has been here for almost five months.

However, the condition did not improve at all.

Qiao Yaoyu will come over as soon as he has time, and every time he comes over to inquire about the situation, the caretaker in charge of Cheng Rao will be very dignified.

………

"Why are you ignoring me?"

When Qiao Yaoyu's thoughts drifted away, Cheng Rao's voice drew his attention back.

Qiao Yaoyu came back to her senses and glanced at Cheng Rao on the bed.

He put those negative emotions aside and smiled at Cheng Rao.

Qiao Yaoyu raised his hand and pinched her face, "How could I ignore you, what did you eat delicious in the morning?" ”

Cheng Rao thought about it carefully and replied to him: "It seems to be Xiaolongbao." ”

"What's the stuffing, is it delicious?" Qiao Yaoyu then asked.

Now, he can only talk to Cheng Rao about this kind of unnutritious topic.

"It's meat." Cheng Rao licked her lips, as if she was reminiscing, "It's delicious~"

Qiao Yaoyu saw that she was quite normal now, so she untied the rope on her body and helped her sit up.

Qiao Yaoyu took a box of cherries next to him, opened it, and took one and sent it to Cheng Rao's mouth: "You taste this." ”

Cheng Rao nodded, opened her mouth obediently and ate it.

She ate in a hurry and swallowed the kernel of the cherry as well.

Qiao Yaoyu watched her swallow, a little helpless: "The nucleus inside can't be eaten." ”

"Uh-oh." Cheng Rao nodded.

Qiao Yaoyu knew very well that although she was nodding her head now, she would forget it next time she ate it.

Qiao Yaoyu sighed, put on disposable gloves, and began to pit the cherries.

After going to the core, Cheng Rao didn't have much trouble eating.

Soon, she ate half a box of cherries.

Qiao Yaoyu was quite relieved to see her eating.

After eating half a box of cherries, Cheng Rao couldn't eat it anymore, and Qiao Yaoyu didn't continue to feed her.

He took off his gloves and threw them into the wastepaper basket next to the bed, and then asked Cheng Rao: "Do you want to go out and bask in the sun for a while?" ”

"Is that okay?" Cheng Rao's eyes were faintly expectant, but she was a little hesitant.

She looked around for a moment and whispered to Qiao Yaoyu, "She will scold me." ”

Cheng Rao said this kind of thing with such an expression and such a tone, and Qiao Yaoyu's heart felt as if she had been caught by something, and she was so uncomfortable.

He had always thought that Cheng Rao was stinky, hard and boring, and a few words could make people speechless, which was not cute at all.

But now, he really misses the previous Cheng Rao.

Her life ...... It shouldn't be like this.

"It's okay, I'll help you scold back." Qiao Yaoyu took a deep breath and suppressed all his negative emotions.

He raised his hand and patted the back of Cheng Rao's head, "Come down and put on your shoes." ”

Cheng Rao said "um", picked up the canvas shoes on the floor and put them on her feet.

Qiao Yaoyu saw that she was quite skilled in putting on her shoes, and finally felt a little relieved.

Fortunately, she can still take care of herself.

After putting on her shoes, Cheng Rao stood up.

Qiao Yaoyu stared at her for a while, then raised his hand to smooth her hair.

She hadn't cut her hair for more than half a year, and now her hair had grown below her shoulders, and she hadn't taken care of it seriously, and it looked very messy.

Qiao Yaoyu smoothed her out, but it was still messy.

He really couldn't stand such a Cheng Rao.

Qiao Yaoyu looked at it for a while, and then asked her, "Do you want to cut your hair?" ”

Hearing him ask, Cheng Rao raised her hand and touched her hair, and then asked him, "What's wrong with my hair?" ”

"It's a little long, do you want to cut it a little shorter?" Qiao Yaoyu asked her for advice.

Cheng Rao touched her hair, as if she was thinking seriously.

It took dozens of seconds before she asked, "Is it okay?" ”

Qiao Yaoyu: "You can do it if you want." ”

Cheng Rao glanced out: "They said I couldn't leave here." ”

"I'll take you, it's okay, it's fine." Qiao Yaoyu patted her head soothingly.

"Really?" Hearing him answer, Cheng Rao's eyes lit up.

"yes, really." Qiao Yaoyu nodded vigorously.

"Then I'm going to cut it." Cheng Rao looked forward to it.

Qiao Yaoyu walked to the wardrobe next to him, opened the cabinet door, took a set of clothes from it and handed it to Cheng Rao.

"You change your clothes."

Cheng Rao took the clothes from Qiao Yaoyu's hand, and she didn't shy away from it, so she took off the hospital gown on her body in front of him.

Qiao Yaoyu's expression was a little unnatural, but he didn't say anything.

She didn't wear anything on it, and after taking it off, Qiao Yaoyu was the first to see her ribs, a particularly obvious row.

The bones in his chest bulged out.

Cheng Rao put on a suspender, and then put a long-sleeved T-shirt on her body.

Then, I went to change my pants again.

After she took off her pants, Qiao Yaoyu saw her two legs, as thin as bamboo poles, and felt that they were about to break after a few steps.

Qiao Yaoyu remembered that in the days when they went to country M for the New Year, Cheng Rao always wore shorts.

At that time, after Qiao Yaoyu saw her legs, he was slightly amazed.

At that time, her legs, thighs were thighs, and calves were calves, and there were all the curvatures and curves that should be.

It's not like now, it's just two bamboo poles.

It's uncomfortable to watch.

After Cheng Rao changed her clothes, Qiao Yaoyu grabbed her wrist and said to her, "Don't change your clothes in front of others in the future, you know?" ”

"But you're none other than you." Cheng Rao blinked her eyes, "Aren't you my brother?" ”

Qiao Yaoyu choked up, "Well, it's okay in front of our family, but not in front of outsiders." ”

Cheng Rao nodded, then thought for a while before saying, "No outsiders came to me." ”

Qiao Yaoyu: "......"

She obviously said this with a smile, but Qiao Yaoyu's heart was so sour.

He adjusted his mood, put his shoulders on Cheng Rao's, and said to her: "Then pay attention, let's go, I'll take you out to play." ”

As soon as the two of them reached the door, they ran into the caretaker.

The caretaker saw Cheng Rao change into civilian clothes, and subconsciously looked at Qiao Yaoyu beside her.

Qiao Yaoyu immediately guessed what she was going to ask, and said directly: "I'll take her out for a while, nothing will happen." ”

“…… I still hope you pay more attention. The caretaker instructed, "Don't let her go to any stimulating places, it will affect her mood." ”

Qiao Yaoyu said "um" and agreed.

After that, he came out with Cheng Rao in his arms.

After entering the elevator, Cheng Rao took the initiative to hold Qiao Yaoyu's arm and said with a smile: "You are so powerful, she doesn't dare to murder you." ”

Qiao Yaoyu lowered her eyes and looked at her and asked, "She has murdered you again in the past two days?" ”

Cheng Rao nodded, a little aggrieved: "She is fierce every day, I can't do anything." ”

Qiao Yaoyu moved her lips, originally wanting to tell her that the caretaker did it for her good.

But after thinking about it, I still held back.

He said to Cheng Rao: "It's okay, what do you want to do, you tell me when I come to you." ”

"Then you have to come often." Cheng Rao nodded.

Qiao Yaoyu smiled and agreed, and in the blink of an eye, the elevator had stopped.

Qiao Yaoyu pulled Cheng Rao out and took her into the car.

After getting into the car, Qiao Yaoyu fastened Cheng Rao's seat belt, and then checked the nearby map.

There is a shopping mall nearby, and there is a place to cut hair.

After checking, Qiao Yaoyu started the car.

**

Twenty minutes later, Qiao Yaoyu took Cheng Rao to the hair salon.

After Cheng Rao sat down on the chair, the hairstylist asked her what kind of hairstyle she wanted, and Cheng Rao couldn't answer at all.

Qiao Yaoyu walked up directly and said to the hairstylist: "It's good to cut it short, just cover the position of the ears." ”

After saying that, he added: "Don't talk to her." ”

The hairstylist was confused, and didn't understand why Qiao Yaoyu said that.

However, the customer is God, and he is what he says.

Qiao Yaoyu was not at ease, so he stood next to him the whole time and did not leave a single step.

Cheng Rao sat obediently on the chair and let the hairstylist fiddle with her hair.

After about half an hour, the cut was finally finished.

Her hair is now shorter than it was before.

However, after cutting her hair, she looked much more energetic.

The hairstylist sorted out the broken hair on Cheng Rao's face, and after that, Cheng Rao stood up.

She walked up to Qiao Yaoyu and asked him, "How are you now?" ”

Qiao Yaoyu glanced at it and nodded, "It's good-looking." ”

………

After paying the money, Qiao Yaoyu took Cheng Rao out.

Cheng Rao's mood is quite calm today, Qiao Yaoyu often comes to see her, and she has already figured out her situation.

When getting along with him, Cheng Rao basically won't get out of control.

Qiao Yaoyu took Cheng Rao to a restaurant and ordered a lot of dishes.

Although Cheng Rao eats three meals a day on time in the hospital, she is still too thin, and Qiao Yaoyu's biggest goal now is to feed Cheng Rao fat.

Cheng Rao sat at the dining table, watching the waiter serve the food, and was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth.

She asked Qiao Yaoyu, "So much?" We can't finish eating. ”

"Then eat hard, you have to eat a little fat." Speaking of which, Qiao Yaoyu sandwiched a piece of ribs for Cheng Rao.

Cheng Rao let out an "oh", nodded, and then ate obediently.

**

After lunch, it was already two o'clock.

Qiao Yaoyu originally wanted to take Cheng Rao to visit other places, but considering Cheng Rao's situation, she was still sent back to the hospital.

At nearly three o'clock, Qiao Yaoyu took Cheng Rao back to the hospital ward.

After coming in, Cheng Rao changed into a hospital gown.

Qiao Yaoyu poured Cheng Rao a glass of water and handed it over, "Drink saliva." ”

Cheng Rao nodded, took it and took a sip.

Then, she looked at Qiao Yaoyu seriously and said to him, "It's good to have a brother like you." ”

Qiao Yaoyu raised her hand and rubbed her hair, her throat a little sore.

In fact, every time he saw Cheng Rao so normal, he would think, Cheng Rao should be fine.

However, reality would slap him in the face every time.

The repeated illness is almost life-threatening.

Qiao Yaoyu just stared at Cheng Rao and didn't speak.

After Cheng Rao finished drinking water, Qiao Yaoyu turned on the TV and watched "One Piece" with Cheng Rao.

Cheng Rao has been watching "One Piece" since she lived here.

………

An afternoon passed peacefully.

At dinner, Huang Ping also came over.

Today, Friday, Huang Ping finished her week's work and hurried to the hospital.

When she pushed the door in, Cheng Rao was biting a steamed bun in her mouth to eat.

After seeing Huang Ping, she didn't have time to swallow what was in her mouth, and called "Mom" indistinctly.

Hearing Cheng Rao's words, Huang Ping almost burst into tears.

- If you have to find out a little bit of Cheng Rao's benefits after going crazy, that's probably it.

After her mental state was abnormal, she began to learn to "coquettish" with her.

Especially during the period when she entered the Second Affiliated Hospital, every time Huang Ping came to visit her, she would take the initiative to call her "Mom", and sometimes tell her aggrievedly that the caretakers here were too fierce and often scolded her.

She has not been a coquettish character since she was a child, and after this time, it can be said that her temperament has changed greatly.

Sometimes, when she thinks of these things, Huang Ping herself doesn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Huang Ping sorted out her emotions, stepped forward and glanced at the dishes in Cheng Rao's lunch box, and then asked her, "Does it taste good?" ”

Cheng Rao nodded, and then asked her, "Mom, do you want to eat?" ”

Huang Ping shook her head: "No, you can eat." ”

After saying this, Huang Ping noticed Cheng Rao's hair.

"When did you cut your hair?" She asked.

Cheng Rao said: "Today, my brother took me to cut it. ”

After hearing Cheng Rao's answer, Huang Ping looked at Qiao Yaoyu who was sitting next to him and asked him, "Didn't you have class today?" ”

Qiao Yaoyu said: "I happened to have no class today, so I came over." ”

Huang Ping whispered "um", "Thank you for your hard work." ”

During the time that Cheng Rao came to the Second Affiliated Hospital, Qiao Yaoyu came to see her almost whenever she had time, and Huang Ping saw all of this.

Qiao Yaoyu smiled at Huang Ping, "It should be." ”

………

Cheng Rao's mental state is very good today, so good that Huang Ping thought she had fully recovered.

Huang Ping and Qiao Yaoyu stayed until Cheng Rao went to bed before leaving.

The hospital didn't let the family stay overnight, and they couldn't help it.

After coming out of the hospital, Qiao Yaoyu said to Huang Ping: "She is fine today. ”

"Yes......" Huang Ping sighed: "If it can be so good every day, how good it would be." ”

Qiao Yaoyu said: "She will definitely get better, give her some time." ”

After all, after going through so many blows, even a psychologically strong person needs time to heal on their own.

What's more, Cheng Rao herself is not a strong character.

After getting out of the elevator, Huang Ping asked Qiao Yaoyu, "Do you have more classes next week?" ”

Qiao Yaoyu thought for a while and said, "Not much." ”

"Then you can come and see her more next week." Huang Ping sighed lightly, "I have to go to Dijing next week, and I have a partner's daughter getting married, so I can't push it." ”

Qiao Yaoyu knew that Huang Ping worked hard and the business reached a certain scale, and sometimes he couldn't help himself.

"It's okay, you can go without worry, I'll leave it here." Qiao Yaoyu said to Huang Ping, "I'm going to have a public class next week, so it's not a big deal." ”

"Thank you for your hard work." Huang Ping is still very grateful to Qiao Yaoyu.

After all, Cheng Rao is not his biological sister, and it is not easy for him to get along with Cheng Rao like this.

"Auntie, it's okay." Qiao Yaoyu patted her on the shoulder and said, "You and my dad have worked too hard, and I can't share much, so I can only help you take care of Cheng Rao." ”

Speaking of this, Qiao Yaoyu paused before continuing: "I believe that Cheng Rao will definitely be fine." ”

Huang Ping's eyes were sour, and she nodded towards Qiao Yaoyu.

Imperial Palace.

In the blink of an eye, it has been more than half a year since Yu Chi and Wen Jiayu confirmed their relationship.

Wei Zhengsheng was right, after being with Wen Jiayu, his connections in Dijing quickly developed.

Although Wei Chi doesn't like that kind of hypocritical socialization very much, he knows very well in his heart that to this day, some things are indeed involuntary.

On Friday night, after Wei Chi got off work, he went to the government to pick up Wen Jiayu and went back to Wen's house with her for dinner.

Every other week, they'll come over.

Wen Xueqin and Gu Peicen are very satisfied with Wei Chi, Wei Chi's character is more pleasing to the elders, coupled with the background of the Wei family behind him, the two elders are more optimistic about him.

At dinner in the evening, Wen Xueqin and Wei Chi drank two glasses of wine.

Considering that it was not safe for Wei Chi to drive after drinking, Wen Xueqin asked the two of them to live at Wen's house.

Living at home, Wen Jiayu naturally has no opinion.

Wei Chi also knew that Wen Xueqin had good intentions, so he didn't refuse.

At night, he slept in Wen Jiayu's room.

After coming out of the shower, Yu Chi was still a little dizzy and lay directly on the bed.

Wen Jiayu saw that he was not energetic, so he asked, "Did you drink too much?" Next time my dad asks you to drink liquor, you can drink less. ”

"It's fine." Wei Chi waved his hand, "It's good to get some sleep, your dad is in a good mood, it's okay to drink two glasses." ”

"You've got to learn a little bit better."

After being together for more than half a year, Wen Jiayu knew how real Yu Chi was.

He doesn't look like he came from that kind of family at all.

His current status inevitably requires socializing and dinners, and every time he drinks, he actually drinks.

Although the amount of alcohol is good, there is so much liquor in the stomach, no one can stand it.

Wen Jiayu lay beside Wei Chi and said to him: "Don't drink so seriously in the future, if you drink like this, your body will definitely be uncomfortable." ”

"Huh?" Wei Chi asked her, "What do you mean?" ”

"You can drink less." Wen Jiayu said, "You don't have to drink it cup by mouth, just mean it." ”

Wei Chi let out an "oh".

Wen Jiayu said: "When you go to the wedding next week, they will definitely give you a toast, don't drink like this when the time comes, otherwise you will be uncomfortable when you come back." ”

"Okay, got it." Wei Chi should be inherited.
