The dark circles under the eyes make the girl look haggard.
Xiao Xiao thought of the girl he saw for the first time. She was wearing exquisite makeup and looked like a cute little princess next to her boyfriend.
...
"Want to come together?"
Xiao Xiao looked in the direction of the hospital.
The girl was stunned.
She blinked.
Then nodded.
...
The girl followed Xiao Xiao and walked towards the hospital.
The closer she got to the hospital, the girl's pace slowed down unconsciously.
Then, she stopped.
Looking down at her toes, the girl took a deep breath.
She raised her eyes.
Not seeing the figure in front of her, she was stunned and panicked for a moment.
Just when she was looking for it-
"Do you like mung bean cake?"
One hand handed over a piece of pastry wrapped in paper.
...
The girl turned her head.
Xiao Xiao's eyebrows are slightly curved.
"Because I came to see an old man."
“So I brought more traditional snacks.”
The girl gives him the feeling that he may not like to eat it very much.
However, eating something delicious when you are depressed is very effective in adjusting your state.
Especially eating some sweet snacks has a great effect.
Although this mung bean cake is not very sweet considering the taste of the elderly.
...
The girl subconsciously took the mung bean cake.
She looked at Xiao Xiao.
Xiao Xiao smiled and nodded.
"Try?"
“I’m still somewhat confident about the taste.”
...
The girl lowered her head and took a bite of the mung bean cake.
Cool.
Melts in your mouth.
The taste is bland at first.
Then a hint of sweetness spreads in the mouth.
The girl couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly.
"......delicious."
...
"As long as you like it."
Xiao Xiao smiled.
The girl took a big bite of the mung bean cake this time.
But it tasted bitter.
She was stunned.
...
"Just wipe it."
Xiao Xiao handed over a tissue.
...
Um?
The girls are still a little confused.
Why give her tissues?
Xiao Xiao sighed and said, "You're crying."
The gentle voice made the girl clearly feel the burning in the corners of her eyes.
She reached out and touched the corners of her eyes.
The wetness on her fingertips made her startled.
Did she really cry?
...
The girl took the tissue.
The paper towel quickly became soaked.
The girl lowers her head.
Shoulders shrugged.
...
"sorry......"
Girls feel embarrassed.
But he couldn't control his tears.
"...I don't want to..."
But the tears just couldn't stop falling.
...
"It doesn't matter."
Xiao Xiao's eyebrows were peaceful.
"Cry."
The natural tone is like saying something taken for granted.
The girl cried "Wow~".
Passers-by cast concerned glances.
If it were on the street, they would think it was a young couple having a conflict.
But this is a hospital.
Isn’t the reason for crying... obvious?
...
well.
Someone sighed.
There are also people who feel the same way.
Although hospitals are places where people save lives and heal the wounded, it is really hard to like them.
If nothing happens, who would want to come to the hospital?
...
"Hiccup~"
The girl hurriedly covered her mouth with her hands.
I cried so much.
They all started to hiccup.
Still in such an unobstructed environment, in front of a stranger.
The girl felt like crying again.
...
"feel better now?"
Xiao Xiao handed over the tissue at the right time.
...
"......Um."
The girl took the tissue with her hand.
Then I found that I still had half-eaten mung bean cake on my hand.
She stuffed the rest of the mung bean cake into her mouth.
The bitter taste makes the mung bean cake lose the sweetness of the first taste.
She frowned.
A vague sound was made.
...
"Give me the paper."
Xiao Xiao took the paper wrapping the mung bean cake in the girl's hand.
He went to the trash can next to him.
By the time he came back, the girls had almost finished cleaning up.
Of course the eyes are red.
But the tear stains on my face were gone.
My mood has also calmed down a lot.
...
The girl opened her mouth.
For a moment I didn't know what to say.
Her eyes were dry and painful.
My brain seemed to be flooded with tears.
It runs very sluggishly.
...
"Do you want to continue?"
Xiao Xiao looked in the direction of the hospital building.
...
"......Um."
The girl nodded vigorously.
Xiao Xiao's words seemed to open up her chat box.
Some words just came out of her mouth.
"I'm a little scared to come here."
"You wanted to say goodbye to me before, right?"
Girls are not stupid.
After the boy rescued her, he wanted to leave when he saw that she was fine.
"But I stopped you."
The girl pursed her lips.
"Because I don't want to go in so soon."
"No matter what it is, I want something that can take me some more time."
"I just talked to you."
...
"...My boyfriend is in the hospital."
The girl slowly exhaled.
"His condition never got better."
"It's so serious that even the doctor can't tell you that he's just physically weak and hasn't had a good rest."
"Even if the inspection report comes out, the result is still the same."
...
"There are many strange diseases in the world."
"I did not expect that......"
The girl clenched her fists and said, "My boyfriend will get a strange disease."
...
"I'm panicking."
"The hospital doesn't have a good plan."
"I don't even know what I can do."
"He always comforts me."
"Say you're fine."
"I just want to sleep a little bit."
...
The girl's voice, already hoarse from crying just now, was choked with sobs.
"His condition goes up and down."
"Yesterday, I called him for a long time, but he didn't wake up."
"I'm scared."
"I know he's scared too."
"He still wants to comfort me."
...
"There's nothing I can do to help him."
"Now I am more and more afraid of seeing him."
"I'm afraid of seeing something bad happen."
"I'm afraid I won't be able to wake him up."
"I don't want him to comfort me either."
"But I can't put on a good front."
"...I'm so useless."
The girl covered her eyes.
The hot liquid flowed down again.
...
"I want to notify his family."
"I don't know what to do on my own."
"But he disagreed."
"He didn't want his family to worry."
"He said he was just a little sleepy."
"It's not a big problem."
...
"......fraud."
The girl wiped her eyes hard.
"He called in sick to the company."
"He was thinking, if his situation never improves, would it be better to resign?"
"But he worked hard for a long time to get into this company."
She still remembered that when he received the personnel notice, he yelled and looked as happy as a child.
He also held her and spun her around several times.
They also went out to have a big meal.
...
"He actually thinks it's bad to bother me all the time to take care of him."
The girl was a little angry.
"He saved me from always coming out to see him during my lunch break."
"It's so tiring going back and forth."
"He is just sleeping anyway, there is nothing to see."
