After Su Xian comforted the old woman, she just sat down on the edge of the bed, and little Yunshu climbed onto her knees, then hugged her neck and hung on her like a sloth.
Su Xian inexplicably thought of Lai Yun and regretted not hugging her tightly at the beginning.
So he gently patted little Yunshu's back and comforted her softly, "You'll just need to stay in the hospital. You'll be well soon. Will our little Yunshu be good? Listen to the nurse and the doctor."
Perhaps some people are born with a predestined fate. From the first time she saw Su Xian, Xiao Yunshu fell in love with this auntie and obeyed her every word. At this time, she nodded her head obediently: "Well, I will be obedient."
Seeing this, the two elders gradually relaxed their nervous hearts.
"Xiao Su, thank you very much. Please take care of her for us here. We will go back to prepare some food and come back. I will cook some of your favorite dishes for you in the evening."
Every time she went to see Xiao Yunshu, she could get a meal. To be honest, Xiao Yunshu's grandmother's cooking skills were quite good. Su Xian was so shameless that when she wanted to eat for free, she would go to Huang Kaifeng's house under the pretext of visiting Xiao Yunshu. Huang Kaifeng, who had a lot of smart cells in his head, had long seen through her "ulterior motives", but never exposed her, and just thought of it as raising an extra pig at home.
Su Xian was not polite: "Don't worry, Auntie, I'm here, nothing will happen."
They were really relieved about Su Xian and felt that this child was a good kid at heart. They didn't know what outsiders said, they only knew that whenever their son was on a business trip or something happened at home, this child would always show up in time to help them solve their problems. It was a pity that their son had talked to them seriously and told them that since he was both a subordinate and a sister, he must not embarrass anyone.
The two elders felt it was a pity from the bottom of their hearts.
Su Xian played with Xiao Yunshu in the ward for a long time. Seeing her eyelids start to droop, she coaxed her to sleep. After a long time, she still couldn't fall asleep. Xiao Yunshu pulled Su Xian's hand and said, "Auntie Su, please go to bed and hold me to sleep. I'm a little scared."
This was the first time the little guy admitted that he was afraid. Su Xian's heart immediately softened into a pool of water. She held the little guy in her arms and hummed a out-of-tune nursery rhyme softly.
Xiao Yunshu suddenly poked her head out from her chest and said, "Aunt Su, you smell so good."
Su Xian kissed her pink cheek and said, "Go to sleep obediently."
Xiao Yunshu asked worriedly, "Will you leave after I wake up?"
"No, Auntie will stay with you until Xiao Yunshu is discharged from the hospital in good health."
Su Xian's assurance brought disappointment to little Yunshu. She sighed like an adult: "Hey, it would be great if you were my mother, but my father said you can only be my aunt."
He chatted with her for a while and finally coaxed the little girl to sleep. Su Xian didn't dare move and could only let her use his arm as a pillow while she slept. She simply took off her shoes and got on the bed, and fell asleep with her outside the quilt.
She was awakened by a dream, which was a common habit in her life. After waking up, she suddenly remembered that she had not called Huang Kaifeng yet, so she gently pulled her arm out from under Xiao Yunshu's neck, shook her numb arm, tiptoed out, and gently closed the door.
All his movements were very gentle, as if he was treating his own child, for fear of disturbing the sleeping little one.
I called Huang Kaifeng, but he was probably busy, so it took a while for him to answer the phone.
"Are you done over there?"
"Well, the doctor said it's nothing serious, and the hospitalization is just for observation."
"No need to rush. You can come back two days later. I will take good care of this place."
"It's okay. Do we need to talk about that?"
"I promise you, I will take care of you as if you were my own daughter. Just settle the matter peacefully and come back."
"Well, bye, be safe."
While they were talking, a group of people in white coats walked past Su Xian and entered Xiao Yunshu's room.
It should be the doctor's rounds.
Su Xian quickly hung up the phone and followed in. Seeing the doctor walking in front, Su Xian understood everything and did not show any surprise.
There was nothing strange about seeing him in the hospital.
Su Xian was standing beside Xiao Yunshu's bed. The little girl just woke up and came over to hold her hand.
"Are you the patient's family member?" Zuo Yueyao asked her as if he was asking a stranger.
"Yes." Su Xian answered, as if he didn't know this person.
"Pay attention to letting the patient rest more and avoid strenuous exercise."
"OK."
"If the patient develops other symptoms, he should contact the doctor on duty immediately."
"OK."
Xiao Yunshu said goodbye to the doctor. Her soft and tender voice made Zuo Yueyao unable to help but come over and touch her little head. Indeed, who can resist such soft and tender voice
Su Xian couldn't see Zuo Yueyao's true expression. Did this man really not want to know her anymore, or was he trying to keep his public and private lives separate
After the group left, Xiao Yunshu whispered to Su Xian, "This doctor uncle is so good."
Appreciation of beauty is indeed universal, and this is what Lai Yun said when he first saw Zuo Yueyao.
Of course, she also admitted that he was very handsome, especially in that white coat that revealed a pair of eyes filled with stars. His body was neither fat nor thin and even his walk carried the aura of a king. Any normal woman would be more or less moved.
Su Xian suddenly felt that something was wrong with him.
Was it the result of her years of abstinence? Or did she want to make some moves, but Zuo Yueyao's official and serious words extinguished her desire
The two elders insisted on staying here to take care of the baby at night. No matter how Su Xian tried to persuade them, it was useless. Finally, the nurse came over and said that only one person could stay. The two elders thought that no one else was more suitable than Su Xian.
So Su Xian stayed in the hospital to accompany Xiao Yunshu at night.
This was the first time Su Xian was alone with Xiao Yunshu. She imitated her memory of her mother and read Xiao Yunshu a bedtime story and told her many interesting things. However, the little girl was not sure whether she was overly excited or because it was the first time she was with a stranger at night. At around eleven o'clock, her mouth pouted and she began to cry.
This was beyond Su Xian's expectations and caught her off guard.
Su Xian had no choice but to hold her in her arms and sat on the accompanying chair beside the bed. Soon, the little one's head drooped on her shoulder. Just as she was about to put her on the bed, she heard the little one whimpering again. Helplessly, she had to hold her back.
This posture was almost like a child's attachment to its mother. Su Xian was very tired, but had no other choice. He also couldn't bear to let the little guy wake up from his dream again.
She didn't know how long she maintained this posture until someone took the child from her hands and put him on the bed. The little guy fell into a sound sleep, completely unaware.
Then she heard the visitor say indifferently: "If you stay in this position for a whole night, you can go directly to the orthopedic department tomorrow."
Su Xian's arms were indeed sore and numb, but when she heard the familiar voice, she felt inexplicably at ease.
For so many days and nights, it was this voice that acted like a tranquilizer whenever she was overwhelmed, relieving her restless mood.
I haven't seen you for seven years, but this feeling is still there.
"Are you on duty today?"
It was rare for her to talk to him so calmly.
"Um."
Zuo Yueyao did not leave. He sat down next to Su Xian, took one of her arms, and gently massaged her. His technique was as skillful as that of a professional masseur.
"You've lost weight." Su Xian didn't know why she said this. Maybe it was because her face, which was indeed a little thin, touched a chord in her heart.
"What is your relationship with her?"
Su Xian was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed: "When you came to check on me in the evening, didn't you ask me if I was her relative?"
She saw a hint of embarrassment flash across his face, and she felt even happier.
"Zuo Yueyao, you didn't switch shifts with someone else and come to ask me this question, did you?"
His expression suddenly became serious, and he looked at her steadily: "What if I say yes?"
Now it was Su Xian's turn to be stunned. Seeing him waiting for her answer seriously, she couldn't bear it: "When I was desperate, it was her father who helped me, taught me how to behave, and taught me everything he knew."
Thinking of the past, his eyes softened: "She taught me everything she knew without asking for anything in return. To me, her father is a boss, a friend, a mentor, and a good brother."
The force suddenly became heavy. Su Xian moved his arm and heard Zuo Yueyao ask in a very low voice: "Why don't you stick to your dream?"
Dream? Su Xian said self-deprecatingly: "When one day you are so poor that you can barely afford to eat, you will realize how cheap this thing is."
Su Xian looked at Zuo Yueyao's profile and said, "Do you know? You live a life that many people dream of but can hardly achieve in their lifetime. So you don't understand how realistic and cruel life is for us poor people. In the end, we find that what we have to stick to is not the dream, but how to live."
Zuo Yueyao didn't say anything for a long time. He just changed his position and sat on the other side of Su Xian. He raised his other arm and continued to rub.
Su Xian didn't stop him. He had good skills and she was enjoying it. It was free, so why not take it!
"Is your boyfriend nice to you?"
Why did they bring this up again? She was just feeling sad when she was brought back to reality!
"Well, it's good, very good." Su Xian's teeth almost bit his tongue.
"That's good."
Su Xian had complicated feelings towards Zuo Yueyao's indifferent reaction. She wanted him to care a little, so that some memories of the good times in the past would still remain in his mind. But she also hoped that he would be heartless and indifferent, so that the two of them could see clearly.
When the nurse came in, she saw Dr. Zuo, whom they were proud of, doing a massage for the patient's family. She was so surprised that her mouth was open for a long time and she didn't know whether she should step in or not.
Zuo Yueyao then let go of Su Xian's hand, lowered his head and said to her: "My number has not changed." Then he left the ward as if nothing had happened.
The nurse quickly finished her ward rounds and actually chased after him.
"Doctor Zuo, do you know the patient's family?"
“I guess so.”
Seeing that Zuo Yueyao actually answered her question, the nurse became bolder: "I see that you seem to be very good to her, you must have a good relationship."
