Chapter 36 You are a good person
I was wondering what was going on. It turned out that her grandmother was coming to the hospital.
It scared me!
I couldn't help but ask her, does your grandmother often abuse you at home?
"That's not the case..."
Cheng Xiaoyan was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "But what she did is far more terrible than domestic violence."
"What did she do?" I asked.
"I don't know anything about you, so don't ask... I don't want you to get involved..." Cheng Xiaoyan glanced at me, stood up, and said faintly: "Tonight, you'd better take a day off and don't go back to Building D."
I said, "You asked me to take a leave just because your grandma is coming? I don't understand. Your grandma is not a monster. She can come if she wants."
"You don't understand, you don't understand anything at all!"
Cheng Xiaoyan turned around a little irritably and walked into the building.
I grabbed her and said seriously, "Xiaoyan , I don't know what you are afraid of - tonight, I must come to work in Building D. First, I will be promoted to a regular employee soon, so I must perform better. Second, I want to see how powerful your grandmother is. She can make you so nervous every day that you would rather live in Building D than go back!"
Cheng Xiaoyan was about to say something but was interrupted by me: "Didn't you eat? I just went to the restaurant with Sister Sun and picked up a few dishes. I packed some and brought them back for you."
As I said that, I opened the take-away box and the aroma of vegetables filled my nose.
Cheng Xiaoyan swallowed her saliva. Perhaps because she had been eating boiled cabbage and tofu in Building D for too long, she let go of her reserve at this moment. She didn't bother to be polite with me. She took her bowl and chopsticks, sat on the chair at the door and started eating.
She ate with great relish and soon finished the food in the takeaway box.
I smiled bitterly and asked if I brought too little. I will bring more next time.
"No, it's not a small amount. I just haven't eaten this kind of food for a long time." Cheng Xiaoyan said shyly: "Thank you, Zhiyong, please don't bother me in the future."
"No problem. The food in Building D is really bad. I'll talk to Sister Sun if I get a chance and see if the food can be improved."
Cheng Xiaoyan stopped talking, blinked her eyes, and stared at me blankly.
I asked her what she was looking at, was there something on her face?
She shook her head, a blush creeping up her pretty face, and whispered, "Actually, if you look closely, you look quite decent."
I laughed and said that when you were my desk mate, your catchphrase was - Zhiyong, you're getting uglier every day I don't see you.
"Isn't that to attract your attention?" Cheng Xiaoyan snorted.
"real or fake?"
I said with a smile.
I couldn't help but take a step closer and hugged her gently.
After staying in Building D for a while, Cheng Xiaoyan inevitably had a little smell of disinfectant on her body, but overall, there was still a refreshing fragrance.
Is this a girl's body odor?
My heart beat a little faster.
Cheng Xiaoyan, who was hugged by me, stiffened for a moment, but soon relaxed, except for her face, which turned the color of liver.
She didn't resist and hugged me gently.
"You're different from other people," she said.
"Ah?" I didn't understand.
"The boys I met before, whether they accompanied me to play cards, go to bars, or eat, all had only one purpose, which was to have sex with me...but you are different, you are really nice to me." Cheng Xiaoyan raised her head and looked at me softly.
I didn't expect her to say something like this out of the blue. For a moment, I felt so happy, as if I had been fed with honey. I smiled and said , "Of course it's different. They are just friends for drinking and eating, but I really treat you as a friend."
Cheng Xiaoyan smiled sweetly: "Zhiyong, can you answer a question for me?"
"I do like you," I said.
"I haven't asked yet!" Cheng Xiaoyan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"Don't you just want to ask me if I like you? There's nothing wrong with admitting it. Although I, Tian Zhiyong, have been single for more than 20 years and have zero experience with girls, there are some inner feelings that I don't want to hide, and I don't want to hide them - because sometimes, if I hide them, I may never have the chance to say them out loud in this lifetime!" I looked at Cheng Xiaoyan and said firmly.
Cheng Xiaoyan's eyes were a little moist.
She slowly broke free from my embrace and said, "Zhiyong, you are a good person."
"Is this a rejection?" I smiled bitterly, feeling a little disappointed.
"No, it's not like that... Actually, I like you very much, but I am not qualified to fall in love with anyone right now." Cheng Xiaoyan's face was full of pain.
Tears slid down her pretty cheeks drop by drop.
"Why? Is it because of your illness?" I said excitedly, "You know, I don't care about these, and..."
"This is not a disease!" said Cheng Xiaoyan.
"It's not a disease?" I was shocked and said that the hospital test results are out , it's viral hepatitis B.
Cheng Xiaoyan shook her head and said, "They misdiagnosed me. This is not a disease at all, but a curse."
"curse?"
"Yes, a lifelong curse."
"Xiaoyan, what are you talking about?"
Her words left me increasingly confused.
How did viral hepatitis B become a curse?
"Besides this, I have another reason why I absolutely cannot be with you." Cheng Xiaoyan said woodenly.
"What's the reason?" I asked hurriedly.
"My grandmother."
I'm going crazy!
Grandma again?
Is her grandmother a giant with three heads and six arms?
Why are you so scared?
I frowned and wanted to say something, but Cheng Xiaoyan went back to the ward saying that she was tired.
Looking at her thin back, I clenched my fists and thought to myself that no matter what, I had to see her grandmother's true face tonight.
…
When we returned to the building, we found that televisions were installed in all the wards.
In the past, only two or three wards had televisions, and they were all very old and could only display two or three channels.
Now not only are all the wards equipped, but they are also connected to the Internet set-top boxes. As a result, Building D is finally no longer as deserted as usual.
Many patients sat together watching, and from time to time one could hear their laughter and discussions, just like a family.
When I passed by the door, many patients saw me and got out of bed, expressing their gratitude to me.
They said that thanks to me, they were able to enjoy the few pleasures in the last moments of their lives.
At this moment, I felt very relieved.
It was because I did a good thing, and more importantly, because I saw them, who were always in pain, smile.
The gloomy Building D finally seemed to have regained a bit of life.
Came to Lao He’s ward 108.
I thought this old friend would be ecstatic about installing a TV, but what I didn't expect was that he just stood in front of the window, staring at the gradually darkening sky in a daze.
I walked closer and saw that Lao He's face was pale and there was a hint of anxiety in his eyes .
"Lao He?" I couldn't help but ask.
Lao He glanced at me and muttered to himself, "Something's going to happen! Something's going to happen!"
"What's wrong?"
"Something big is going to happen in Building D tonight!"
