Hearing a greeting from the door of the ward, Zhao Xuanying, who was feeding Zhang Cuilan, looked back.
When he found out it was Zhu Shushu, he was stunned at first, and then asked a question in surprise.
He is holding a bag of fruit in his hand.
Although he was young, he was self-taught in terms of human nature and sophistication. Since he didn't have much pocket money, he didn't buy anything expensive to visit.
"I heard grandma was hospitalized, so I came over to take a look."
Entering the ward, Zhu Shushu first put the fruit she was carrying on the cabinet, and then stepped forward to take a closer look at Zhang Cuilan's injuries.
After a few days, Zhang Cuilan's condition was no longer as serious as when the accident occurred, but after all, she was already old and her body bones had become fragile. After this time, Zhang Cuilan now seemed to Zhu Shushu to be older than before.
A lot.
During the winter vacation, I often stayed at Zhao Xuanying's house. Although I didn't have many opportunities to get along with Zhang Cuilan, I became familiar with her over time.
Because her grandparents died early, Zhu Shushu was particularly close to Zhang Cuilan.
From the other person, there is always a sense of security that comes from staying with grandparents when I was a child. This is why my cousin insisted on coming to visit after hearing that the other person was hospitalized.
And looking at Zhu Shushu who came specially to visit her, Zhang Cuilan, who was lying on the hospital bed, also managed to squeeze out a smile.
Listening to the other party's inquiries, he would often reply with words like "It's nothing, don't worry."
Although she hired a caregiver, Zhao Xuanying was still afraid that the caregiver wouldn't be able to take good care of her grandma, so she stayed by her side on days off, for fear that she wouldn't be around if something happened again.
After the self-study get out of class on Friday night, she simply rushed to the hospital with some things from home. She didn't sleep much all night, which also caused her complexion to not look so good.
Out of concern, Zhu Shushu took over the job of feeding Zhao Xuanying. After some hard talking, she reluctantly asked Zhao Xuanying to hand over the job to her.
The two changed places.
Zhao Xuanying, who was sitting, stood up, and Zhu Shushu took over. After taking over the rice bowl, she fed Zhang Cuilan, spoonful by spoonful, liquid food on the hospital bed.
Zhao Xuanying on the side took a few glances, and after seeing Zhu Shushu's skillful feeding movements, she felt a little relieved.
Then he asked as if he was a little curious.
"You look very skilled. Have you ever nursed in a hospital before?"
"Well, when my grandfather was hospitalized, my mother and I often came over to take care of him."
"That's it..."
As she said that, Zhao Xuanying didn't notice that there was another person behind her until now.
He turned around and looked at the girl who had not said a word since she entered the house.
She looks a little younger than Zhu Shushu, and her overall height can barely be considered a passing standard. She is half a head shorter than herself, and she looks like she is only 1.5 meters tall.
She has a hairstyle similar to that of her friend Shen Yunli, but the bangs are more obvious. Unlike Shen Yunli's hollow bangs, she has a thick piece covering her forehead, and because her face is not big in the first place.
, which makes her face even smaller.
His appearance... is pretty cute. He is the type of person who can tell at a glance that he is very timid.
Seeing Zhao Xuanying looking at her, the shy girl brought by Zhu Shushu immediately shrank her head. She was not very good at dealing with such situations, and her pressure increased in a very short period of time.
At this time, she was like a machine with a program error, and her eyes didn't know where to look.
In the end, I could only lower my head and make myself as inconspicuous as possible.
"Shu Shu, who is this?"
"Oh, my new friend."
Upon hearing Zhao Xuanying's inquiry, Zhu Shushu, who had already eaten most of the food in the bowl, responded without turning her head.
Then he added.
"She looks cute. I noticed her when she first entered class. She looks like a doll."
"Shu Shu..."
"Okay, okay, no more joking."
Seeing her friend commenting on her like this, the shy girl felt shy. After shouting in a low voice, Zhu Shushu just ignored the topic and laughed.
"Qingqing, she is the sister Yingying I mentioned to you."
"Hello...my name is Zhou Qing."
He said hello nervously, his lowered head secretly raised, and his eyes covered by thick bangs peeked at the figure in front of him.
After hearing the other party's greeting, Zhao Xuanying hurriedly said hello. Looking at the child's behavior in front of her, it reminded her of herself before she met Liu Weicheng.
At that time, she was also a taciturn character in the class. Fortunately, Shen Yunli, who had a cheerful personality, was always by her side, so she slightly improved her style of not daring to talk to strangers.
.
Later, she met Liu Weicheng, which completely separated her from the Zhao Xuanying who used to be nervous when talking to strangers.
Today, Zhao Xuanying can communicate with others without any barriers, and she will not feel nervous or afraid.
To a certain extent, this child is somewhat similar to myself before.
After sizing up the girl in front of him for a while, Zhao Xuanying introduced herself with a smile.
After the conversation ended, he turned his attention to Zhu Shushu and asked her whether she was still adaptable to the new school.
The arrival of the two people made the originally quiet ward a little livelier. Fortunately, there were no other patients in the ward, and Zhang Cuilan was happy to see this scene.
"By the way, where is your brother?"
The topic that was originally being discussed fell into silence following Zhao Xuanying's question.
Zhu Shushu was stunned for a moment when she heard this question, and then recalled the scene she saw when she stayed at her cousin's house.
His face looked a little bad.
"I'm living happily, I'm not ashamed at all, it's so early in the morning..."
"Just what?"
"nothing."
Looking at Zhao Xuanying's curious gaze, Zhu Shushu swallowed back her unspoken words and hurriedly made up a lie to end the topic.
"He is quite busy and said he would come over to see me in the evening."
"That's it...it's okay if you're really busy and can't come."
"It's no use telling me, I'll come over anyway."
"..."
Compared to the two people who had been chatting, Zhou Qing, who was sitting beside him, was watching quietly.
His eyes fell on Zhao Xuanying's face.
When I heard Zhu Shushu describe the other person in class, I had a feeling of déjà vu. Now that I saw her face to face, it was indeed the same as what I had imagined.
The expression on his face slowly became excited.
After noticing that the other person was looking over, he hurriedly lowered his head and did not dare to look at him.
The strange behavior made Zhao Xuanying look twice, but she quickly stopped paying attention and continued to ask if there was anything uncomfortable with Zhu Shushu's new school.
After all, they were transferred from the county town. As an elder sister, she was very worried about the degree of integration of the Zhu sisters into the new school.
The chat continued until there was a knock on the door.
