Chapter 67 Please Adopt Me
Gu Lin knew that Sheng Ting had wrongly blamed him.
He was also wronged.
"You're not taking this personally, are you?" Gu Lin could be quite serious at times. "If I had known Zhao Jingyi was this kind of person, would I have introduced her to you? I could easily find a few reliable nurses at the hospital, it wouldn't be like this..."
"Sheng Tingwang, we've known each other for so many years. You don't think I did this on purpose, do you?"
"I'm not that abnormal. This was really an accident. Don't give me that attitude..."
Gu Lin explained noisily.
Sheng Tingwang didn't reply at all.
In addition to the man's incessant chatter, Wen Shuyi could also hear the sound of the hospital bed wheels scraping against the ground.
It's so noisy.
She gripped the sheets with her fingertips, trying to sit up.
However, with her eyelids barely open, she couldn't sit up, let alone move her body like a block of cement.
All the checks have been completed.
Gu Lin and Sheng Tingwang then pushed her to the acupuncture department.
They were talking about her illness.
The doctor inserted many needles into her arms, legs, and even head.
Cool, sour, itchy, and bloated.
I feel uncomfortable, not at all.
It was so bright and dazzling. There was a hand above her eyes. She looked out through the slit in her eyes and saw the figure of a man bathed in sunlight.
Wow, that's so high!
His face was not clearly visible, but his silhouette in the sunlight could be seen.
It looks pretty good.
Is he her father?
Or was she her classmate?
It doesn't seem like we're particularly familiar with each other.
"Dr. Guo, I'll have to trouble you again in the future to personally go to Mr. Sheng's house to give Wen Shuyi acupuncture." Gu Lin said.
The old Chinese medicine doctor was very easy to talk to, saying, "That's only right."
Wen Shuyi: ...Wen Shuyi?
Who is Wen Shuyi?
Her name isn't Wen Shuyi.
Her name is Qiao tide.
Her father's name is Qiao Tianhua.
Her mother's name is Zhu Yan.
She also has a younger brother named Qiao Shen.
Who exactly is Wen Shuyi? Did he stab the wrong person?
She wanted to shake her head.
She wanted to speak.
But she couldn't control her body.
"Uh," Wen Shuyi uttered.
That sound.
It's really not that big.
It was drowned out by the voices of a few people discussing the illness.
She was going crazy.
Are all these people deaf?
They mistook the patient for someone else and didn't care.
How can someone like that be a doctor?
"Thank you, doctor."
The conversation finally ended.
The silver needles that had caused Wen Shuyi pain were pulled out one by one.
Two men pushed her out of the clinic and toward the parking lot, preparing to take her home.
"Tingwang, leave Zhao Jingyi's matter to me. Don't worry, I will not show her any favoritism. This kind of person is no longer suitable to work as a nurse. Just like you said, I need to find out why she returned to China. Maybe she has already harmed a lot of people abroad."
Sheng Tingwang hummed in agreement. "I'll take Shuyi back first."
"Be careful on the road."
The car started.
Wen Shuyi: ...Finally, they stopped arguing.
She's so tired.
She needs a good night's sleep to recover her strength.
Wen Shuyi didn't know how long she had slept.
A few hours, or a few days.
She slept so well that she felt refreshed and even had more energy to open her eyes.
But the first feeling upon opening those eyes was not good.
A man was holding a towel and wiping her body.
"Ah..." she screamed.
Although to Sheng Tingwang the voice sounded as sweet as the neighbor's kitten, he still heard it.
I heard it very clearly.
He looked up.
He met her eyes.
Wen Shuyi opened her eyes.
His eyes stung with tears, and his handsome face almost touched hers. "Shuyi, you're awake? Or are you not going to wake up?"
The man was very excited.
Tears were about to splash onto Wen Shuyi's face.
She shrank back with a hint of disgust. "Who...who are you?"
"I am, I am..." He held the woman's hand tightly, his words incoherent, "Son... Duoduo, come quickly, come here quickly..."
Little Duoduo was brought in by a childcare specialist.
The little one saw that his mother was awake and happily rushed over, "Mommy, you're awake!"
"You...you shouldn't shout like that."
Wen Shuyi was frightened by the unfamiliar child and clutched the blanket tightly in repulsion.
Sheng Tingwang realized that Wen Shu had also lost his memory.
I don't recognize him, nor do I recognize Duoduo.
It's okay, it's good that he's awake.
He turned to the childcare worker and said, "Take Duoduo downstairs to play first."
"Okay, Mr. Sheng."
Only Sheng Tingwang and Wen Shuyi remained in the room.
Wen Shuyi looked at the unfamiliar and tall man with curiosity.
He was a man with striking, handsome features.
He had a high, straight nose and deep-set eyes.
His slightly pursed lips were smiling at her.
It felt as if a spring breeze was blowing, making it impossible to look away.
So lovely.
He's a handsome guy.
"Who...who are you?"
"Let's get acquainted. My name is Lu Ji," Sheng Tingwang said softly, as if he had endless patience. "And you? What's your name?"
"My name is Qiao tide. I don't know you. Why...?" She felt the surroundings were unfamiliar. "...Is this your home?"
I guess so.
Wen Shuyi responded with an "oh".
She remembered the earthquake in Bincheng.
After her family members passed away, she was sent to a welfare institution.
A family wants to adopt her.
Then there was no further news. The people at the orphanage told her to wait, but as she waited, it seemed like she grew up.
"I..." Wen Shuyi had many questions in her mind.
Sheng Tingwang gestured for her to relax, "Come on, let me help you sit up first. You're sick, so take it slow and see if your back can support you."
"oh."
Wen Shu also lacked strength.
I have even less strength in my waist.
But she sat up against the headboard.
Sheng Tingwang was overjoyed. Gu Lin said that Wen Shuyi's waist had recovered better than her brain during her coma.
It really is.
"Can you feel anything in your lower back?"
"It's sour."
"It will get better slowly."
Wen Shuyi looked at the unfamiliar man in front of her and asked, "Are you the one who's going to adopt me?"
Sheng Tingwang: ...Adopt?
Does her memory stop after the earthquake?
Sheng Tingwang felt a severe bloating and sourness in his heart and mouth.
Unable to hold back, her eyes welled up with tears again. "Do you remember how old you are now?"
Wen Shu also shook his head.
She didn't even know how old she was.
She still remembers herself as a child.
But she seems like a big kid now.
Moreover, it is developing very well.
"She should be eighteen by now," she guessed.
"Would you like to be adopted?"
Wen Shuyi shook her head. She didn't want to, but the orphanage couldn't refuse to send her away.
Her eyelashes drooped slightly. "I can't make that decision."
"Then don't think about this for now. Just stay here and get well first, okay?" He raised his hand to stroke her hair, but she pulled away from him in fear.
The way she looked at him was too unfamiliar and distant.
Sheng Tingwang felt terrible.
Fate had already given him such a big surprise, and he was satisfied.
He would personally feed her three meals a day.
He would talk to her about the weather, painting, what he saw and heard on the road, and all sorts of topics that big kids are interested in.
Wen Shuyi did not reject him.
Later, she said to him directly, "Why don't you adopt me? I think you're a pretty good person."
"Aren't you afraid I'll raise you as a child bride?" Sheng Ting asked her with a smirk.
Wen Shuyi stared wide-eyed in surprise. "Don't you have a child? You're so much older than me, old enough to be my father. You wouldn't be interested in a young girl. Besides, I think you're a pretty upright person, you wouldn't have any ulterior motives. I'm still very young. It would be a crime for you to have feelings for me."
Sheng Tingwang: ...
"If I adopt you, what are you going to call me?" he asked, still unwilling to give up.
Wen Shuyi thought for a moment, "Call me..."
