Chapter 6: A Heart That Falls Accidentally 2
Because of Lagude's insistence, my "departure plan" was not implemented in the end. I was not surprised at all about this result. Perhaps I had already thought of his answer when I told him about it.
So, was it because I had already guessed the answer that I was able to leave him without hesitation? This question was too profound, and I didn't dare to think about it any further.
In short, the relationship between Lagude and I gradually became more than friends, but not yet lovers. Lagude no longer confessed his love to me or proposed to me in an exaggerated way like before, but he said ambiguous things to me more frequently, which often made me blush and laugh happily.
I warned him many times not to be too happy, but he said righteously: A happy mood is always helpful for recovery, and I have never heard of a patient not being able to laugh. I was really helpless with him, because the most powerful support for his words was that as his mood got better and better, the doctor happily announced that his health had also improved significantly.
Well, maybe I am the one who knows my body best, so I have to listen to the patient's advice. In the end, this guy is really a perverted logic, and I can only think like this to comfort myself.
However, I soon discovered that compromising with some guys meant they would become more demanding, and Lagoud was a living example.
"It's so boring, Kiki, the hospital is so boring." That day, Lagood was lying on the hospital bed and started complaining as soon as he saw me come in.
"So?" I raised my eyebrows and looked at him. Based on my experience and lessons from the past few days, such complaints often mean some demands that drive me crazy.
"Hehe, how about, Kiki, tell me a joke." Lagood looked at me and said pitifully.
"Tell, tell a joke?" The corners of my mouth twitched. It's amazing that this guy could come up with such a plan? Could it be that this guy had been lying in bed all day thinking about how to torture me?
I glared at him unhappily and was about to refuse, but this guy seemed to have read my mind and started begging while lying on the bed.
"Ah, I'm bored and depressed. I'm in a bad mood. It's not good for recovery. My heart... I feel weaker and weaker."
Black lines slid down my forehead one by one.
This guy really dares to say anything.
I really wanted to ignore this guy, but - seeing the miserable look in his eyes as he looked at me, even though I knew he was mostly acting, I couldn't help but soften my heart in the end.
Alas, this is really a step back, step back! I don’t know when the situation between me and this guy has completely reversed.
I tried very hard to mobilize the limited humor cells in my brain, trying to come up with one or two jokes that could be presented to others, but sadly, I have never been interested in this area, so after thinking for a long time , I just couldn't think of one. In the end, I could only look at Lagood helplessly. Who knew that guy would laugh happily when he saw my sad face because I wanted to make a joke.
"Hahaha, Qiqi, how can you be so honest and cute! You are like this, and I can't bear to bully you anymore." Lagood tapped my nose and said happily.
I tried very hard to control the temperature of my face, and after inhaling and exhaling, I pretended to be cold and asked, "Really? Then, should I thank you for not being so kind?"
"Uh--haha, that's not necessary. No need to be so polite." Seeing that I was "angry", Lagude stopped laughing immediately and put on a sincere expression. "Actually, you don't have to think so painfully. Just use your mobile phone to surf the Internet and ask Baidu. Isn't there anything you can find? There is a saying, "If you have any questions, ask Baidu." It's a waste if you don't use such a powerful thing."
Uh - I swear, I really swear, if it weren't for this guy's poor health, I would pick him up and throw him out of the window.
No matter what I thought, seeing this guy smiling happily, my mood unconsciously improved as well. So I actually followed his suggestion and took out my phone to start searching for jokes on Baidu.
"Here's a funny one!" After searching for a while, I finally found a funny one. I immediately presented it to him like offering a treasure. "Once upon a time, there were two mentally ill patients who finally escaped from a mental hospital. But after they got out of the door, they had to climb over 100 walls to reach the highway. After they climbed over 60 walls together, one of the mentally ill patients asked the other: 'Are you tired, buddy?' The other replied: 'No.' He said: 'Well, if you're not tired, we'll keep climbing.'"
After reading this, I couldn't help but look up at Lagoud. Seeing that he was listening carefully and cooperating, I continued to read with great interest: "When they turned over the 99th wall, the mentally ill patient asked another one: 'Are you tired, brother?' The other one replied: 'I am tired, let's go back!' So they turned back again..."
I finished reading the joke into my phone, and then burst out laughing along with Lagoud.
"What a happy couple," Lagoud concluded.
I ignored him, found the next joke, and continued reading it... Just like that, after I finished telling the 10th joke, it was almost time to go home.
I smiled and said goodbye to Lagude. Lagude seemed reluctant to leave. He thought for a while and said, "Keep telling me jokes tomorrow."
This time, I nodded without hesitation. With Baidu around, telling a joke is not a difficult task.
"Well - I want to watch video jokes tomorrow, no text ones." Lagude continued to request.
Oh, that’s a lot to ask.
"I know." At worst, I can spend some time tomorrow and search on Baidu. I don't believe that I can't find some funny videos.
"And, I--" Seeing that he was not embarrassed, Lagood continued to think about the problem, "I want to eat cake." Seeing a sick little girl passing by with a piece of cake in her hand with a smile on her face, this guy immediately shouted.
"Okay." It's just a piece of cake, isn't it? It's just 10 yuan, simple.
I don’t know if it’s because I’ve seen too many jokes, but my mood became very good and I readily agreed to this guy’s requests.
"I want it made by you, made by yourself, and it must taste like strawberry," said Lagoud.
With a click, I couldn't keep my smile any longer. "Do you want more, patient?"
"Haha, no, no more." Seeing me gritting my teeth, Lagood smiled happily.
I helplessly discovered that this guy's recent interests were constantly twisting in the direction of tormenting me.
This is really not a good thing.
I glared at him angrily, and walked away angrily while watching his satisfied smile.
Growing up, I seldom went into the kitchen, let alone made cakes. I went to Ganju's house to make cakes because I was afraid that my mother would ask me questions. Ganju was very interested in making snacks, so we got together and studied making cakes with great interest.
According to the guidance of "Baidu", Ganju and I went to the supermarket to buy the ingredients needed for the production, such as eggs, flour, sugar and fresh strawberries. Then we followed the steps and started to make it. Everything went smoothly in the beginning, but when we put it in the oven, problems arose. "Baidu" suggested 10 minutes and 20 minutes respectively. The result of the argument between Ganju and I was - we compromised and baked it for 15 minutes. As a result, the cake was burnt on the outside and raw on the inside. The original shape of Chibi Maruko-chan's head and the strawberry border all turned into black shadows.
Ganju and I stared in silence at the work we had been working on for nearly an hour, and no one was willing to admit that it had anything to do with them.
"What should I do? It's almost the time you and Lagude agreed to make. There's no time to make another one." Tangerine looked at his watch and said frustratedly.
“Even if we make another one, we can’t guarantee that it will be more successful than this one.” I shrugged, completely losing confidence in my cooking skills.
"That's true." Tangerine nodded in agreement. "However, if I make another one, even if I can't guarantee that it will be better looking , at least - I can foresee that it will definitely not be uglier than this one. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really couldn't believe that there was someone in this world who could make Chibi Maruko's strawberry cake so ugly."
After saying that, Tangerine looked at me and we both laughed at the same time.
Although the cake was a failure, it was still the first cake I made by myself, and I thought that the guy in the hospital should be grateful for my sincerity. With that in mind, I shamelessly put the cake in a box and went to the hospital.
"You're 12 minutes and 30 seconds late. How come you're here just now?" As soon as he entered the ward, Lagoud's complaint began, "Qiqi, do you know how hard it was for me to endure these 12 minutes and 30 seconds?"
Uh - I took a look at Lagude's deliberately bitter expression and said unhappily, "It's all for the sake of making a cake for you."
I said as I handed him the box in my hand.
"Cake? Qiqi, you really made a cake for me?" There was an expression of disbelief on Lagood's face at first, and soon it turned into an ecstatic look.
"This cake is made by Qiqi herself. It must be delicious ." As he said this, he opened the cake with great interest.
Uh - I sat aside, expressing my guilty conscience with silence.
3 minutes later.
"Is this a cake?" Lagood stared blankly at something in the cake box. After a long time, he finally asked me in a very hesitant tone.
"Yes," I said. I clearly saw that when I said this word, the corners of Lagoud's mouth twitched almost deformed.
“This is my first time baking a cake. Even if it’s not very successful, at least I’m very sincere. Also, it’s my first time making something, so the commemorative significance alone is enough.” I said loudly, but even I felt that my words fully reflected the philosophy that the louder you speak, the more guilty you feel.
"Yes, this is the first cake Qiqi made."
However, this weird theory actually worked miraculously on Lagoud.
After listening to me, he actually laughed happily, and even had a bit of pride on his face: "This is the first cake Qiqi made for me personally, and it's such a unique cake. It really opened my eyes."
I looked up at Lagood: If this guy's smile at the moment was not very sincere, I would have suspected that his words were actually insulting himself.
"I believe that the cake that Qiqi made for me must taste delicious. I want to eat it all." Lagoud announced happily.
Ah——I opened my mouth and looked at him in astonishment: Tears, Lagoud, you really don’t have to have so much confidence in me, especially when it may cost you your life.
I took one look at the dark cake and had no doubt that anyone who ate it would die instantly.
"Don't eat it-- " I was about to stop Lagood, but this guy had already scooped out a large piece with a spoon and stuffed it directly into his mouth.
Oh dear God! I closed my eyes in fear.
"It's delicious. Really, really delicious." Lagoud's handsome face was distorted. He swallowed the cake hard, then held back his tears, forced a smile and said to me.
I was extremely moved as I watched this guy's reaction. At that moment, I was finally willing to believe that: being able to eat such an ugly cake and still forcing myself to say it was delicious - well, this guy really likes me!
Thinking of this, my heart suddenly became sweet...
"Lagude, you don't have to be like this." This guy didn't say anything cheesy, nor did he have any affectionate expressions or ambiguous actions, but my face turned red again. "Even if it's made by someone you like, if it's not delicious, it's not delicious. You don't have to put up with your mouth and stomach just because of love."
Oh my God, what am I saying, ah... I'm so shy.
I covered my red face and turned away, not daring to look at Lagoud.
"Qiqi!" What I didn't know was that at this moment, Lagood looked up, looked at my back, and murmured my name with a complicated expression.
