Chapter 1 Goodbye, Otaku 3
"Baby, come and have an apple. Ah..."
Looking at my mother's eyes shining with hope, and then looking at the apple in front of me that was peeled uglier than a dog's, I turned my head with difficulty and asked my father for help: "Dad, do you want to eat the apple?"
"Wow, little Xixi, do you know how scared your parents were this time? What if something happened to you, how would your mother and I live? Fortunately, you are fine. You don't know that when you were unconscious, the company's largest order was suddenly cancelled by the other party, and several batches of qualified products were suddenly found to have major problems. The loss was heavy! Fortunately, your operation was successful, and just now, the company got a bigger order. Those companies that claimed that there were major problems with their products called to say that it was a false alarm and that they didn't have to pay compensation. The company was saved. Little Xixi, you are our family's mascot and lucky fairy, so you must never scare us like this again." Dad took out a snow-white handkerchief and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, "Little Xixi, eat an apple quickly. Eat more fruits to recover quickly. If you don't get better soon, the company's income will plummet."
I have often heard my parents say these words since I was a child, and I have long been accustomed to them. Since I have always been in good health and have never suffered from a serious illness or a major disaster, I never expected that this illness would cause such a big shock.
Well, for mom and dad...
I silently focused my eyes on this piece of rare apple that my parents had placed infinite hope in. Finally, I opened my mouth and ate it with a fearless attitude.
After seeing that I had eaten a whole plate of apple pieces cut into various strange shapes, my father told me to have a good rest and then went back to the company, while my mother stayed to take care of me.
But taking care of me...
Bang! The plate broke.
Bang! The IV stand was almost knocked over.
"Ding Dong Ding Dong", the cell phone keeps ringing, it's so annoying.
I covered the black lines on my forehead and tried to force a sweet smile and said, "Mom, since the aunts have invited you to play mahjong, don't worry about me. Let Aunt Zhang take care of me."
"Baby, you are in the hospital now. As a mother, how can I not be by your side at such a critical moment? Compared with my baby daughter and mahjong, of course you are more important." The mother said righteously while secretly sending a message.
I smiled even sweeter: "I'm fine now. The doctor said I'll recover quickly. Besides, it's just a minor surgery, there's no need to make a fuss. Mom, you can go and have fun without worry. Just call Aunt Zhang to come."
"Really?" Mom asked uncertainly, blinking her eyes.
I nodded gently: "Really, really."
"Then I'll leave first and bring the cake back later." I finally breathed a sigh of relief when I saw my mother leaving with her pink bag.
"Ouch, it hurts! That Mi Lin is such a pessimist..." I said gritting my teeth, "It was because of him that I had the surgery because he said there was something wrong with my appendix. And, what on earth was he planning... Ouch, hiss..." Because of my excitement, my body suddenly moved and the wound on my stomach was touched. The stinging pain made me lie back in my original position helplessly.
Two days ago, my life almost got turned upside down.
First, I encountered that otaku again without any psychological preparation, then I found out that he was actually in the same class with me, then he started talking nonsense and saying some very vulgar things in front of me, and finally I fainted because of the stomachache.
When I woke up, I found myself lying on a hospital bed, with an IV in my hand and a dull pain in my lower abdomen. My parents were looking at me worriedly.
After their explanation, I realized that I was sent to the hospital after fainting from the pain, where they discovered that I had acute appendicitis. Fortunately, I was sent to the hospital in time for surgery, and I only needed to rest for 5 days to be discharged from the hospital.
After learning about this, I immediately lifted up my clothes and looked at the wound worriedly.
Thank God, thanks to the advanced medical technology, there will be no ugly cuts on my perfect white belly. It is said that as long as I rest well after the stitches are removed, there will be no scars left.
Today is the day to remove the stitches. According to common sense, I should be almost healed, but I still feel a lot of pain. If it hurts more when the stitches are removed later, should I cry out in pain or pretend to be strong and endure the pain to show my good self-restraint?
It’s really hard to choose.
You know, in just two or three days, I have become an important person in the hospital. Every day, there are lovely nurses, handsome doctors and other patients who come to see me. Although they always have various reasons and excuses, I pretend not to know. In fact, I know everything.
Hehe, even if I am tortured by illness and my face is pale, my hair is messy, I am not wearing any makeup and I am wearing a loose hospital gown, I am still the most beautiful.
Therefore, I must never be defeated by the pain and must leave behind an eternal glorious legend!
The more I thought about it, the happier I became. I couldn't help but raise the hand that wasn't receiving the IV. Unexpectedly, at this moment, the door was opened, and several large bouquets of flowers mixed with various fragrances floated in. At the same time, there were also chattering voices that almost deafened my ears.
"Student Huang, we are here to see you."
"Wow, Yaxi didn't come to school, and the sky over the school turned gray!"
"We are all so touched. It turns out that Huang insisted on going to school even when he was sick, and worked so hard for the honor of the class. We are proud of you! Don't worry, even if you are not here, we will work hard to win the first place in the grade, and then use it as a gift to celebrate your recovery and discharge from the hospital."
Seeing that no one seemed to notice my ridiculous action, I immediately pretended to be calm and stretched out my hand to the first person who approached the bed: "Thank you for coming to see me. Xiaowu, the lily in your hand is so beautiful."
Xiao Wu smiled happily after hearing my praise: "I knew you would like it. Because Huang is as elegant and beautiful as a lily, especially the white lily, which seems to bloom just for you. Huang, am I right?"
"Hate it, I'm not as good as you say." I pretended to be surprised and shy, but I didn't agree with it at all in my heart.
Who would like a flower with a strange shape like white lily? I really don't understand why it is called pure, it's not pretty at all! My favorite is actually baby's breath.
However, because baby's breath is just an ordinary flower in the eyes of others and is extremely inconspicuous, I never dared to tell anyone about this.
"By the way, Yaxi, we have avenged you."
This sentence confused me: "What revenge?"
"It was that Mi Rin! He actually used vulgar words like fart and shit in front of you, making you faint. When we asked him what event he wanted to sign up for, he actually said he wanted to take a sick leave and not participate. This kind of person is so hateful, we couldn't let him go, and finally forced him to sign up for the 400-meter relay."
"But his presence is so weak. Before he spoke to you, I didn't even remember his existence in the class."
"I sat in the row right in front of him, but I can't even remember what he looked like. It seems like he's really unremarkable."
After hearing what my classmates said, although I was very happy in my heart, I still had to put on a show : "You can't say that. We are all classmates and we should help each other. He is so unsociable, it must be because of his low self-esteem, so we should be more friendly to him."
"As expected of Huang-san, you are so gentle and kind. You are so magnanimous even to those who have offended you."
My classmates praised me in unison, which made me unhappy at all because they mentioned Mi Lin.
Then I suddenly remembered that the last time he spoke to me, he still seemed expressionless, as if he was not facing a perfect girl, but an ordinary person.
How is this possible? From childhood to adulthood, almost all the opposite sex who have seen me have been attracted to me. Although there are also those who pretend to be calm, there are also subtle nervous movements. Mi Lin is just a lonely country bumpkin, why is he so calm?
Thinking more deeply, an incredible idea came to my mind: Could it be that he has the legendary "face blindness"?
Legend has it that this kind of "face blindness" cannot distinguish human faces at all, let alone distinguish between beauty and ugliness.
Yes, that's right, it must be like that. Otherwise there's no way to explain why this country bumpkin didn't fall for my beauty!
Wait, if that's the case... then didn't he recognize me during the zipper incident last time? And he still had no impression of me when we were in class?
If that's the case, then why do I keep panicking? What a fool I am!
