Chapter 18
?? Since living alone, Liu Zhengru, who has no cooking skills at all, hasn't eaten home-cooked meals for a long time.
?? But he has a bad taste. The food in the restaurant is either too salty or too fresh for him. The few restaurants he is used to have long since become boring.
?? He tasted the food cooked by Bai Hui today, and unexpectedly found it to his taste.
?? The most important consideration is Bai Hui.
?? Judging from the current situation, Bai Hui still has many things to hide from him.If Bai Hui didn't tell, he wouldn't take the initiative to interfere, even the best friends would have their own little secrets.
?? But he is clear that Bai Hui cannot be allowed to give up studying because of poverty.
?? With only one semester off, and with such good grades before, it is possible for Bai Hui to catch up with the progress.
??If Bai Hui cooks for him, can he supervise Bai Hui not to work secretly?
??Thinking of letting Bai Hui resign and continuing to work without telling him, Liu Zhengru felt suffocated.
?? But Qi returns to Qi, understanding is still necessary.It was beyond his expectation that Bai Hui could accept his "investment". If he used the investment to send money to Bai Hui at this moment, he would inevitably feel a little uneasy.
??Liu Zhengru thought about it and said, "If you mind..."
"I don't mind!" Bai Hui said hastily.How could he care? It's too late for him to be happy just to cook for Dr. Liu and be able to play a role in Dr. Liu's side, so how could he mind!
??Bai Hui still had some disbelief in his heart: "I just need to cook?"
??Liu Zhengru was stunned, and tentatively asked: "What else are you going to do?"
??Bai Hui straightened his face, and said seriously: "I can do all kinds of housework, Doctor Liu, if you need me, I can do all the housework!"
?? His expression is serious, and his serious attitude makes him look like he is applying for a job.
??Liu Zhengru looked at him, nodded and said, "That's fine, then I'll trouble you."
"No trouble, no trouble!" Bai Hui responded positively, "Then, Doctor Liu, go back first. Are you going to work tomorrow? I'll bring you food."
??Liu Zhengru nodded: "Working."
??Bai Hui opened the car door, jumped out of the car, turned around and put his hands on the door and said with a smile: "Then, Doctor Liu, I'll go back first, you should have a good rest."
"Wait a minute," Liu Zhengru looked down, then reached out and handed something over: "You take this."
??The autumn night was quiet and the moon was as cool as water. Bai Hui looked intently at Dr. Liu's hand. There was a black-shell key lying on the white palm.
??Liu Zhengru said lightly: "This is the key to my house. You can take it back and come back whenever you want."
?? As if a wind was blowing through his heart, causing a slight itchy numbness, Dr. Liu's cold voice echoed in his ears, winding into his heart bit by bit.
??The corners of his mouth raised unconsciously, and Bai Hui heard his own excited and excited voice: "Okay."
?? He bent in and stared at the key for a few seconds before carefully taking it away and putting it in his shirt pocket.
??The cool texture of the metal penetrates into the heart little by little through the thin fabric of the autumn clothes, relieving its restless beating frequency.
??Bai Hui rubbed his fingertips quietly. Doctor Liu's hands seemed to be cool all the time, as if he was always indifferent to other people.
??The chill on his fingertips passed in an instant, and Bai Hui's smile deepened, but he knew that Dr. Liu treated him differently.
"Good night, Doctor Liu."
??Liu Zhengru looked in the rearview mirror, and the camera showed the young man running in the air. The figure of the young man became smaller and smaller until he disappeared around the corner.
??He started the car and drove towards the community, thinking of the smile on Bai Hui's face when he closed the door, the corners of his mouth twitched.
??The youth's unburdened, unconcerned bright smile, in this life, he wants Bai Hui to always have it.
??Ever since Bai Hui promised to deliver meals to Liu Zhengru, Bai Hui arrived at the emergency room on time every time the meal came, and stood at the door of Liu Zhengru's clinic with a lunch box, smiling and waving at him.
?? After Bai Hui delivered the meal, the time was just right, so he ran upstairs to the intensive care unit to see grandma.
??After this period of treatment, Grandma Bai Hui's condition has stabilized a lot, and she can already sit up and eat alone on the hospital bed.
??The elderly look forward to the meal at noon the most every day, and it is also the meal when they are most worried.
?? On the day she was discharged from the hospital, Grandma Bai Hui worriedly ate the soft porridge that Bai Hui fed, and tightly grasped the thick and strong hands of her eldest grandson. Do you have to come over? School starts now, you deliver food to grandma every day, what about your homework?"
??Bai Hui patted grandma's hand: "It's okay, I have to hurry up and study."
??He missed a semester of classes, but he had all the books. When Wang Ye heard that he was going to come back to study, he jumped three feet high excitedly. All kinds of tutorial books were piled up and sent to Bai Hui's home.
??He didn't have to go to work these days, so he kept studying at home.Fortunately, he has a good memory, and he can still remember the knowledge points he learned in the past few years. Although Wang Ye's book is blank, it happens that he can verify the learning results by himself.
??The most important thing is that every time he delivers a meal, Dr. Liu will spot-check his study progress.
"Grandma, after being discharged from the hospital this afternoon, let's go to a nursing home instead of going home?" Bai Hui scooped up a spoonful of pea puree for grandma, and said seemingly unintentionally, "There are special people in the nursing home to take care of me. I will come to see you often. Grandma, you don't have to worry that I can't focus on my studies..."
"Nursing home?" Grandma Bai Hui stopped the spoon he handed over, and said worriedly: "How can I go to a nursing home, there are places where rich people retire and recuperate, Hui, grandma is fine, let's go home. "
??She beckoned to Bai Hui, leaned close to Bai Hui's ear, and said cautiously: "The family still has outstanding debts, how much will it cost to go to the nursing home!"
?? Bai Hui already knew that grandma would say this, and he had already prepared the answer in his heart: "There is an alumnus in the school who saw that I have good grades and work hard, and said that he would subsidize me with a scholarship. Don't worry, grandma, I will deal with the debt. I will find a way, so you can go to the nursing home with peace of mind."
?? Sure enough, Grandma Bai Hui was a little relieved after hearing this, and after a while she was worried again: "Is there a lot of scholarships? I will spend a lot of money to go to the nursing home? Hui, do you have enough money for meals and other things? "
??She looked at Bai Hui up and down, with a distressed look on her face: "Our Huihui has lost weight, and the toffee at home is in the cupboard, and grandma didn't give it to you."
?? Bai Hui smiled: "It's okay, grandma, you can eat first. I'll take you to the nursing home after you leave the hospital this afternoon..."
??Bai Hui ran up and down a few times, and not long after the discharge procedures were completed, a special person from the nursing home came, and pushed the wheelchair to the door of the intensive care unit.
?? There were two people who came, one was wearing a neat suit and holding a document in his hand, and the other was like an auntie who was a nurse. She was slightly fat and looked very amiable.
??As a result, after Grandma Bai Hui, the man in the suit handed the document to Bai Hui: "Mr. Bai, we need you to sign again. Doctor Liu has already paid all the expenses in advance, and you only need to sign the document." Just a letter of consent, you can follow the car to the nursing home later, we adopt single-room facilities, you can tell us if you are dissatisfied."
??Bai Hui took the document and glanced up and down. The numbers that flashed by in the long string of words shocked Bai Hui.
?? He maintained a calm face, but the hand holding the pen was a little tighter, and the fingertips turned white from the force.
?? He signed his name, raised his head and said, "Okay, I will trouble you later."
??Dr. Liu kept telling him that he didn't have much money, and he thought it really wouldn't be too much, but unexpectedly...
??Bai Hui went to the nursing home with the special car of the nursing home. After she had settled her grandma properly, it was already evening.
?? He took the bus back to the edge of Dr. Liu's community, and when he looked up, he could see the well-greened and towering community.
??The sky gradually darkened, and the sky in the distance was gradually dyed red by the setting sun. Bai Hui passed the park next to the community, and walked in there with a thought.
?? He stared at the swings hanging side by side for a moment, and then walked to the swing where Liu Zhengru sat on after a few seconds.
?? He sat on it, shaking his body casually.
??Grandma has been ill for so long, and he is used to taking care of grandma by himself. Now that he doesn't need to take care of her by himself, he feels a little lost in his heart.
??Thinking of the string of zeros he saw when he signed the document, Bai Hui's heart sank a lot.
?? Doctor Liu's kindness to him made him a little at a loss, a little happy and a little panicked.
?? From a very young age, he dared not trust others.But now, he wanted to trust Dr. Liu.
??Maybe in this world...
"Bai Hui," a familiar voice came from above. Bai Hui raised his head and saw Dr. Liu coming with the red lights all over the ground. There was warmth in the white face.
??Liu Zhengru stood still in front of him: "Why are you here alone?"
?? He stretched out his hand towards Bai Hui: "Will you go home with me?"
??Bai Hui's eyes lit up little by little, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he nodded heavily: "Well, I'll go home with you."
??He completed what he just said in his heart, maybe in this world——he can never find someone who treats him so well like Dr. Liu.
