"But it's still covered in mud. Plush dolls are not easy to wash. I'll go back and find a way." Ji Ting wiped the dirty mud on the tiger doll, but the stain got bigger and bigger. She immediately wiped the dirt with a guilty conscience. Hide it and pretend nothing happened.
The heavy rain was still falling, and thunder exploded in my ears from time to time, as if it was about to fall on them at any time. Shen Tuchuan stared at Ji Ting fixedly, a trace of bewilderment flashed in his eyes.
"It's too cold, you're not in good health, let's go back to the hospital." Although Ji Ting was wearing a raincoat, most of his body was drenched. The rainwater seeped into his clothes and was evaporated by his body temperature. uncomfortable.
Seeing Shen Tuchuan in a daze, she thought he hadn't recovered from the anger of being kicked out of the house, so she stepped forward to help him. According to Shen Tuchuan's character, Ji Ting thought that he would definitely be pushed away, but he didn't do so, he just asked in a low voice: "Why?"
"What?" The rain was too heavy, Ji Ting couldn't hear clearly, so he squatted down and looked at him, "What did you say?"
Shen Tuchuan looked at her face, and the woman looked into his eyes without a hint of impatience, as if nothing he did would make her angry, but—
"Why? Why did you help me?" He, Shen Tuchuan, considers himself a trash. He has grown up on the street for so many years, and his character is so poor that even his brothers will abandon him for many years. This is the first time this woman sees him. Why? Want to help him like this
Ji Ting didn't expect him to ask such a question suddenly, and she didn't know how to answer for a moment. She couldn't just say that she was bound by the reader's resentment, so she had to help him, right? But she was asked to make up a temporary reason, but she couldn't think of it. Under the pressure of Shen Tuchuan's gaze, she could only say vaguely: "You go to the hospital with me first, and I will tell you later."
The words she delayed for time fell into Shen Tuchuan's ears and meant to trick him into going to the hospital. If it was him in normal times, he would definitely leave without looking back. But this time, after a long silence, he nodded silently.
Hearing that he didn't bother with this problem anymore and wanted to go with her obediently, Ji immediately breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to help him up, but Shen Tuchuan's gaze fell on the crutch in the corner. After a fierce battle, the already dilapidated crutches had been smashed to pieces.
"Let me help you." Ji Ting persuaded in a low voice.
Shen Tuchuan lowered his eyes, somewhat repelling her proposal. Ji Ting sighed: "Just this time, okay, if you continue to shower, you will really get sick."
Shen Tuchuan pursed his lips, his eyes fell on her hand holding the tiger doll, Ji Ting immediately hid behind him: "If you don't follow me, I won't give you this."
Shen Tuchuan's face turned cold, but in the end he didn't say anything, and obediently reached out to her.
Ji Ting laughed, grabbed his hand and wrapped it around his shoulder, put his arm on his shoulder, and supported him to stand up. The 1.85 meter tall man leaned on her body. Although the boy was very thin, he was not light. Ji Ting almost knelt down the moment he stood up.
But she still gritted her teeth and held on, holding his arm on her with her right hand, and wrapping around his lower back with the tiger doll in her left hand, and the two of them staggered in the heavy rain. As for Shen Tuchuan's other luggage, neither of the two said they would take them away, and they let those tattered things soak in the dirty water.
When the two of them arrived at the hospital, half an hour later, the doctor came and scolded them, and re-prescribed medicine for Shen Tuchuan's physical examination. Ji Ting apologized next to him, so he went to the store next to the hospital to pick out two sets of sportswear, put on his own, and brought Shen Tuchuan's set back to the hospital.
At this time, Shen Tuchuan had already put on his hospital gown and lay down. When Ji Ting entered the ward, he was obediently administering the infusion.
"You did a good job, you didn't run away." Ji Ting smiled and sat down beside the hospital bed. When she went out, she deliberately took the tiger cub with her. It's no wonder he didn't want to run away.
The boy glanced at the dirty doll in her hand, and when he looked at her again, he was less hostile, but still indifferent: "You haven't answered me yet, why are you helping me?"
The smile on Ji Ting's face faded instantly, why does this kid have such a good memory, and he still hasn't forgotten about it? She suddenly regretted that she didn't listen to her friends when she was a child and studied writing essays hard, otherwise she wouldn't be able to make up a reason now.
Ji Ting thought for a while, and finally came up with an answer: "Because I like you, you look so cute, I want to help you when I see it."
"..."
"...Really," Ji Ting deceived the children with a sincere face and no psychological barriers, "Actually, I have a very strong heart for the Virgin Mary. The first time I saw you, I wanted to help you, and I will always help you."
Shen Tuchuan glanced at her uncertainly: "Do you think I will believe it?"
"..." Indeed, only the heart of the Virgin is really weak. After thinking about it, she became more sincere, "Well, there is actually one more thing, that is... I fell in love with you at first sight."
The air was silent for three seconds, and Shen Tuchuan was expressionless: "You love me at first sight."
"Yes," Ji Ting thought smoothly, "but don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything, and I won't offend you. I just want to be nice to you. Really, if you don't reject me, I will be very happy." Happy."
A sneer flashed in Shen Tuchuan's eyes: "When you saw me today, I was lying in the garbage like a dog, and you said you fell in love with me at first sight?" Did this woman take him for a fool
The corner of Ji Ting's mouth twitched slightly, she really forgot about it.
"What is your purpose?" Shen Tuchuan's face turned completely cold. "I have nothing but a dead life left. What do you want from me? Organs? Blood? Or my life?"
"I really don't plan for anything. Believe it or not, my sincerity is like this." Ji Ting realized that her reasons were too flawed, but at this point, she could only bite her to death and not change her words.
Shen Tuchuan stared at her steadfastly, not believing a word.
Ji Ting didn't care, and showed a gentle smile: "When you were in a coma, I took your ID card to go through the hospitalization procedures. Your name is Shen Tuchuan, right? My name is Ji Ting, and I am six years older than you , twenty-three this year."
"No matter what you want, you won't get it." Shen Tuchuan's voice was hoarse, obviously he didn't believe her words.
"I really don't want anything..." Ji heard that he paused for a moment, "No, my parents are gone, I'm the only one at home, I really want a companion, why don't you come to my house, I'll take care of you .”
The more Ji Ting talked, the more he felt that it was feasible. Fearing that Shen Tuchuan's self-esteem would be frustrated, he explained thoughtfully: "I won't force you to have anything to do with me. We get along like roommates. I will support you until you graduate from college. If you arrive You still don't like me at the time, just work hard and return the money you spent on me, what do you think?"
She was confident that the child would not be tempted by a woman who was six years older than him, so she used this excuse to take him by her side to take care of her, and she would disappear from his life when he got on a normal life path.
Shen Tuchuan paused for a moment, and looked at her with eyes of "I'm afraid you're not crazy". This kind of proposal made it clear that it was only good for him and not bad. But he won't agree, because he doesn't believe that this woman will like him.
Seeing his refusal expression, Ji Ting sighed inwardly, as expected, he was too hasty.
The two chatted for a while, Ji Ting was the one talking most of the time, Shen Tuchuan hardly spoke, but he still quickly showed fatigue. Ji Ting calmed down, and pressed his fingertips on the aching temples. After he fell asleep, he helped him cover the quilt, and took the tiger doll to the bathroom.
She bought soap and Caipiao when she went out today, and now that Shen Tuchuan was asleep, she was free to wash the dolls. The mud on the plush doll was the most difficult to wash, but she was patient enough to rub it carefully with her head down. Soon the most difficult part of the doll was cleaned, and she began to wash other places.
When washing, she only felt that she was a little top-heavy, but she didn't care. After washing, she squeezed the water and went out to find someone to borrow a hair dryer. When a soft and clean little tiger appeared, it was already an hour later, Ji Ting became more and more uncomfortable, so he hurried back to the ward with the doll.
Shen Tuchuan was still sleeping, she put the doll beside his pillow with anticipation, then leaned against the bed and waited for him to wake up. It's just that Shen Tuchuan hadn't woken up yet, so she gave up and limply lay on the bed, her face flushed abnormally.
Before she lost consciousness, she suddenly thought that Shen Tuchuan was asleep now, and he was wearing a loose hospital gown. This is the best time to look at his hips. It's a pity that she fell into a complete coma as soon as she had this thought.
Shen Tuchuan didn't sleep well. He was surrounded by the people he had met in the dream. Everyone was laughing at his overreaching and his waste-like body. Li Tuo stood among these people , looked at him and showed a disdainful smile, as if he didn't care about everything he sacrificed for himself.
He hated it so much that when he wanted to rush up to die with them, there was no one around him for an instant, only the endless darkness constantly devouring his body. He was powerless to resist, and could only let the darkness cover him. Just when he thought he was going to die, he suddenly smelled the smell of laundry. He opened his eyes suddenly, and saw the ceiling with lights on.
It's a hospital ward.
Shen Tuchuan moved his fingertips and touched something warm. He paused for a moment and lowered his eyes, only to see that his fingers were poking Ji Ting's face, making a small dent in her face.
Soft.
He subconsciously poked it again, only to see her abnormally red face, he lowered his eyes, saw his brand new tiger doll, lost his mind for a moment, then took the tiger doll out of bed, leaned on the wall and jumped out . If what this woman said before is true, then he doesn't have to worry about her harming him, and he can have a place to live temporarily.
It's a pity that she was lying. How could someone like a cripple like him.
When he was almost at the door, there was a bang behind him, he paused, and left with the doll. The door of the ward slammed softly, and there was only one person left in the room.
A minute later, the door opened again, and Shen Tuchuan came back with a cold face, leaning on the edge of the bed and dragging Ji Ting on the floor to the bed, it took a long time to drag him up, and he was also covered in sweat.
Shen Tuchuan gasped in displeasure, and after resting, he pressed the beeper and prepared to leave again. However, before he got up this time, Ji Ting grabbed the waistband of his trousers. When he turned his head, he happened to meet Ji Ting's eyes who were in a coma.
Ji Ting looked at him drowsily, and kept repeating a sentence, but the voice was inaudible, Shen Tuchuan frowned, and reluctantly lowered his head to listen. After he lowered his head, Ji Ting was finally able to speak clearly.
What she said was, "Pants are off, show me."
"..."
