Chapter 7: Wei Lixuan Disappears 1
The pungent smell of disinfectant filled the white ward. My father, who was full of energy in the morning, now had his eyes closed and lay on the snow-white bed in a blue hospital gown. In the transparent plastic tube, colorless liquid dripped at a constant speed, making a faint, almost inaudible dripping sound.
Wei Xi sat on the bed and looked at her father. The scene seemed to overlap with a certain moment in her memory. But when she tried to recall, she couldn't remember when and where she had seen this scene.
Mom walked in with a silver kettle, and whispered to Weixi, "Xiaoxi, Dad is sick because he is overworked, you don't have to worry too much. I'm sorry that you missed out on studying today, I will take a day off tomorrow to take care of Dad, so you can go to school without any worries."
Wei Xi uttered "hmm" as a response, and then the door was pushed open again, and Error Code 123 walked in.
"Mom, your boss just called home and said that several colleagues have asked for leave and there is a shortage of staff. He asked if you can go to work. I have already agreed on your behalf. Xiaoxi and I will take care of Dad, so you can go to work without worry!" Error code 123 reported the situation to the mother.
The mother shook her head worriedly: "No, you and Xiaoxi are still children, how can you take care of Dad? And Xiaoxi is a student, and going to school is the most important thing."
"It's okay, we're not kids anymore. Mom's job is more important, leave everything to us." Error Code 123 patted his chest and assured her, and said to Wei Xi, "Wei Xi, tell mom that you're okay and you can do it."
Wei Xi was a little hesitant and didn't know how to answer.
She didn't want to stay here to take care of her father, because she always felt that she was a fake and was afraid that her parents would find out the truth. But she didn't want to go to school either, because school was like hell to her.
Just as she was struggling, her father opened his eyes and asked, "Where is this?"
Mom poured a glass of water from the kettle, helped Dad drink it, and then replied: "This is the hospital. You suddenly fainted at the company."
Dad finished drinking the water, blinked and said, "Oh, I remember now, it seems to be true. Hey, what time is it now? Why is Xiaoxi here? Is it after school?"
"Of course not. I called her here. I was scared when I received the call that you were sent to the hospital. I thought something had happened to you, so I immediately notified the school." Mom said nonchalantly, "Isn't that how it's played on TV? Family members should at least see each other for the last time."
Is mom cursing dad?
"Hahaha, Mom, you're so humorous. I like it when you say such sarcastic words." Dad laughed heartily, but suddenly he shivered and his laughter stopped abruptly.
Mom gently covered Dad with a blanket and said, "Since you are sick, don't talk so loudly and get more rest." Then she said to Wei Xi, "I have to go home to get some things now. You stay here and take care of Dad."
Wei Xi nodded reluctantly. After her mother left, her father said with concern, "My illness is not a big deal. Xiao Xi doesn't need to take time off to take care of me. So Xiao Xi should go to school."
Wei Xi thought for a few seconds and chose school over "being exposed".
"Okay, I'll go to school first." Wei Xi picked up his schoolbag and left the ward without looking back.
As soon as she reached the stairs, Error Code 123 chased after her: "Wei Xi, you're going too far."
Wei Xi knew what it was talking about, and said a little unhappily: "How did I go too far? It was clearly Dad who said that he didn't need my care. Besides, I'm a student, and going to school is the most important thing."
"You obviously don't like going to school, and you're skipping classes." Error Code 123 said sharply, "Since you don't want to go to class, why don't you stay and take care of your father? I didn't expect you to be such a cold-blooded person. I misjudged you."
Wei Xi's mouth couldn't help but twitch: "Are you going to say that I'm cold, heartless, and unreasonable next?"
"That's right!" Error Code 123 said righteously.
"Do you think we are acting out an old romance drama?" Mi Xi looked at Error Code 123 as if it was an idiot. "I won't argue with you. I won't stay here anyway. What if I'm found out to be a fake?"
"So what if he's a fake?" Error Code 123 said angrily . "Hasn't Dad treated you well these days? Even if a stranger is sick, you should take care of him out of emotion and reason. Besides, he is your great-great-great-great-grandfather and a relative. It is only natural for him to stay here and take care of him."
Wei Xi said distractedly: "I'm too lazy to tell you, you don't understand."
"What don't you understand? Tell me." Error Code 123 grabbed Wei Xi's shoulders and stopped her from leaving.
The doctors and nurses passing by saw this scene and laughed with their hands covering their mouths, which made Wei Xi feel very embarrassed. She said angrily, "Let me go."
"I won't let go unless you can convince me." Error Code 123 pressed Wei Xi against the wall and slowly lowered his head.
It is much taller than Weixi, and this posture seems to be imprisoning Weixi in its arms.
"Wall-dong"!
This word suddenly popped up in Weixi's mind.
But other girls all met handsome guys, but why was it her turn and her partner was a domestic robot with a funny mouse head?
If I tell this kind of thing to others, I'm afraid no one will believe it.
Just when Wei Xi was daydreaming, he suddenly smelled a faint fragrance.
Wei Xi was very familiar with this scent because it was the favorite perfume of her father and brother. For a long time, Wei Xi fell asleep in this scent.
I haven't smelled this fragrance for a long time, but now I smell it again, and it seems to be coming from Error Code 123.
Wei Xi moved closer to Error Code 123 in surprise until she touched its clothes and the fragrance became stronger.
The floodgates of memory were opened, and many past scenes flashed before his eyes. Wei Xi narrowed his eyes and suddenly looked up: "Where did you get this perfume from...ah!"
"it hurts!"
Wei Xi held her head with both hands and covered her chin with her hands, and they both screamed at the same time.
"It's all your fault!" Wei Xi and Error Code 123 said in unison, "Who told you to raise (lower) your head?"
Wei Xi glared at Error Code 123 angrily and said fiercely: "Get out of the way!"
Error code 123 was frightened by Wei Xi's words and stepped aside obediently. But when it saw Wei Xi rushing down the stairs, it suddenly woke up and shouted, "Hey, where are you going?"
"None of your business!" Wei Xi said unhappily, "I won't be here to take care of him anyway. Aren't you a housekeeping robot? Taking care of patients is your full-time job, so just stay here."
"Hey, wait!"
Wei Xi turned a deaf ear to the shouting coming from behind him and fled from the hospital like a flash.
But if she can't stay in the hospital, go to school, or go home, where can she go?
Wei Xi stood on the side of the road, at a loss as to what to do, when suddenly Mamali's voice was heard.
"Wei Xi, why are you here?"
Wei Xi turned her head and said in surprise: "I just came out of the hospital, but why are you here? School shouldn't be over yet, right?"
Mama Li said happily, "You don't know, school is over early today, Zhang Zhi and Wei Lixuan asked me to go out and play." She raised the snack box in her hand and said, "It just so happens that my mother made some snacks today, so I'll take them over to treat them. Is your father okay?"
"It's okay." Wei Xi didn't want to talk about his father at all. He was worried that Mama Li would continue to ask, so he quickly changed the subject, "Why does your mother often make snacks at home?"
"Hehe, because my mom is a full-time housewife, and her hobby is making snacks. In fact, these snacks were made by my mom and I together, but mine were too ugly, so I kept them at home to eat, and mom's were prettier, so she brought them out for everyone to eat." Mama Li said regretfully, "Is Wei Xi going to the hospital to take care of Dad? I hope you can go to Zhang Zhi's house with me to play."
Wei Xi was worried about having nowhere to go, and when he heard Mama Li say this, he immediately said, "My father doesn't need me to take care of him, so I have time now, and I'm happy to go to Zhang Zhi's house with you."
"Really? That's great, let's go now." Mamali happily pulled Weixi away.
