In the ward, Wen Xu sat by the bed and carefully helped grandma peel apples.

Grandma has woken up in the past two days, and her physical indicators have almost recovered, and her face looks a lot more energetic.She lay quietly on the bed and turned her head to ask Wen Xu.

"Wen Wen, is the operation time tomorrow?"

Wen Xu paused when he peeled the apple, "Well, yes."

Then he continued to comfort grandma and said, "Don't worry, the medical conditions in the city are very good, we have to trust the doctors here. Tomorrow, after a dozen anesthetics, you'll be fine as soon as you open and close your eyes."

Grandma sighed softly, "I haven't seen any big storms and waves in my life? I'm not really worried about this."

"It's just... I want to know, the cost of this operation should be very expensive, right? I still have a lot of savings in the past few years, which should be enough. Wen Wen, you can use it to pay for the medical expenses."

Wen Xu peeled the apple in his hand, smiled and handed it to grandma, "No, it's not much money. You can still apply for medical insurance, so after calculation, I have enough money to pay."

Grandma opened her mouth and was about to say something when she heard a light knock on the door of the ward.

Wen Xu stopped what he was doing, "It should be the nurse who came to check, I'll open the door."

With that said, he raised his foot and walked towards the door.The door of the ward was opened, and Duan Chenyi appeared in front of him.

Wen Xu froze for a moment, "Why did you come to the hospital so late?"

Duan Chenyi has a lot of courses this semester, most of them are professional courses. At the same time, starting this year, his father will let him handle more things in the company, so Wen Xu knows that he has to complete various tasks during this period, will be very busy.Naturally, didn't take the initiative to contact him much.

Duan Chenyi still had the same leisurely smile, and he shook the thermos in his hand towards Wen Xu.

"Grandma is going to have an operation tomorrow, so I stewed some pork rib soup for her."

With that said, Duan Chenyi staggered away from Wen Xu's figure and walked towards the inside of the ward.

The grandma who was still lying on the bed saw Duan Chenyi coming, happily supported the railing beside the bed and wanted to sit up, but in the next second, Duan Chenyi took the lead to help her.

"Hey, be careful, move slowly, don't worry."

Grandma had a cheerful face, "Xiao Duan, long time no see."

"Well, I've been busy recently, so I can't spare time to see you. I haven't seen you for a week, how are you feeling physically?"

Duan Chenyi was talking, but the movements of his hands didn't stop much.He deftly poured the soup in the thermos into the two small bowls he happened to be carrying, and beckoned Wen Xu to drink it with his grandma.

"Your body feels pretty good." Grandma looked at him with a smile, "Xiao Duan, your soup making skill looks pretty good."

Duan Chenyi said modestly: "No, I just learned it by watching the video."

Wen Xu stood aside and took the pork rib soup from Duan Chenyi's hand.He looked down and saw that the soup in the bowl was still steaming, very thick and white in color like milk.The oil stains on the upper layer have been treated well, and the mouthfeel is very refreshing, delicious and not greasy.

During this period of time, he had to deal with many and complicated things. Hospitals, banks, schools, and remedial institutions ran around, and his energy was almost exhausted. He was very tired.

But when he drank the bowl of soup that Duan Chenyi brought, Wen Xu suddenly felt that the pressure that had accumulated in his body for a long time was suddenly relieved, and he became a little more energetic.

He didn't know whether it was because Duan Chenyi was by his side, or the magic power of this bowl of soup. In short, Wen Xu finished the soup silently holding the bowl.

"Thank you." He whispered to Duan Chenyi.

"Thank you?" The emotion in Duan Chenyi's eyes moved slightly, "If you like it, I will spend more time making it for you and grandma in the future."

Wen Xu took out a tissue and wiped his mouth, "No, it's too troublesome..."

After speaking, he took advantage of the opportunity to clean up the leftovers on the table, and took the bowl to the sink to wash.

As for Duan Chenyi, after she settled down with her grandma.He silently followed behind Wen Xu, quietly watching Wen Xu wash the dishes.

Because Wen Xu's mind was a bit messy, he started to think about a lot of things while washing, and only found Duan Chenyi standing behind him after washing.

He was a little startled, and his body shook subconsciously, "Why are you here?"

Duan Chenyi hummed, raised his eyelids and looked at Wen Xu, "When I care about grandma, I also want to care about you, is that okay?"

"Care about me?"

Wen Xu took a step back subconsciously, took a towel and wiped the water stains on his hands.

"Caring about me? What do I care about?"

Duan Chenyi didn't answer his words, but instead asked, "Is everything going well?"

"It went well." Wen Xu nodded absently, "Let's go back first, I'm a little worried that grandma is alone in the ward."

"You've lost a lot of weight." Duan Chenyi raised his hand and pinched Wen Xu's already thin face, "Didn't you eat well recently?"

Suddenly feeling the temperature of Duan Chenyi's fingertips on his cheek, Wen Xu shrank his neck, "I ate it."

It's just that he eats a little less and is very irregular.After all, the relatives are still lying on the hospital bed, and I have to go around to raise money, so whoever comes here will not be in the mood to eat well.

Thinking like this, Wen Xu raised his eyes and looked at himself in the mirror.

Because she didn't have a good rest recently, Wen Xu's face with an even skin tone due to his regular work and rest, did not know when dark circles appeared under his eyes, and he seemed to have no energy.

At the same time, he found that his face seemed to have become smaller, and even the line of his jaw became more obvious.

It seems... It is indeed the same as what Duan Chenyi said, she has lost a lot of weight.

Wen Xu sighed softly, and smiled at Duan Chenyi in the mirror.

"It's okay, I'm just a little too tired during this time. When grandma finishes the operation and everything recovers successfully, it will become the same as before."

Hearing Wen Xu's words, Duan Chenyi felt his eyebrows twitch, and felt a little irritable for no reason.

"I... I heard from Chen Chen that you borrowed 30,000 yuan from him?"

Wen Xu froze, "Did he tell you?"

"No." Duan Chenyi shook his head, the emotion in his eyes was tormenting, "I ran to ask him myself."

"Because you didn't want to tell me about medical expenses."

Wen Xu pursed her lips, "Because I don't think these things have anything to do with you, and you shouldn't be involved. So... I didn't discuss it with you."

As soon as these words were finished, the air around the two of them became quiet, which made it difficult for Wen Xu to breathe.

His lips moved slightly, and he continued: "Besides, I have already dealt with the medical expenses, basically there will be no more problems. I don't need to trouble you, besides, your father's companyDon't you have to deal with a lot of things? It's getting late, so go back. "

After finishing speaking, Wen Xu raised his foot and prepared to walk in the direction of the ward.

In the next second, Duan Chenyi raised his hand and grabbed Wen Xu's wrist, with a bit of annoyance in his tone.

"Do you think this matter has nothing to do with me?"

"Wen Xu, to be honest, sometimes I really don't understand what's going on in your mind."

"I always thought that the relationship between me and you has risen to the point where we can help each other and share difficulties together. When I was arrested by the counselor and taken to the office because of the scholarship, didn't you yourselfDid you tell me that?"

"Why can you ask me to come and share with you when something happens to you, and push me out if something happens to you?"

Duan Chenyi's emotions sounded a little excited, but he was still reluctant to have serious words with Wen Xu.

"I also hope that I can have the opportunity to help you, but if you don't tell me, then I will never know what kind of help you need."

When she heard Wen Xu talking on the phone in the corridor, Duan Chenyi suddenly realized that she had never been close to Wen Xu's heart.

Facing the problems that Wen Xu needs to deal with, if he helps more on his own, he is afraid that Wen Xu will think he is annoying, and even more afraid that Wen Xu feels that he seems to be putting pressure on himself on his own initiative.With little or no help, he couldn't bear to let Wen Xu suffer so much by himself.

He hates himself who is worried about gains and losses now, and he is a little powerless about the current situation.

What should say?As if he didn't deserve to say anything.

Originally...these were just Wen Xu's own decisions. He felt that whom to rely on, whom to seek help from, or what consequences he would bear in the future, were actually Wen Xu's own affairs, and he had no right to intervene.

But Duan Chenyi just felt angry for no reason, to various degrees.

Wen Xu stood where he was, looking down at Duan Chenyi's hand that was clutching his wrist at this moment, the turbulent emotions in his eyes were covered by his slender eyelashes.

The two of them stood still like this for a while, and after a while, Wen Xu raised his hand to shake off Duan Chenyi's hand, and with a little effort, he got rid of it.

"Sorry." Wen Xu whispered: "I think this matter is too heavy, and it can't be compared with the level of scholarship."

"And this matter itself has nothing to do with you. I can handle it by myself, so I don't want to drag you down or anything."

After finishing speaking, Wen Xu raised his eyes and smiled at him, "It's getting late, you go back. Grandma...will have surgery tomorrow, I have to take this opportunity to spend more time with her."

In the next second, Wen Xu walked towards the ward without looking back.

Duan Chenyi stood where he was, looking at the background of Wen Xu's departure, feeling annoyed for no reason.He scratched his hair a little irritably, but he still couldn't breathe.

The next evening, grandma was pushed out of the operating room.

The doctor told Wen Xu that the operation was a success. Grandma did not experience any rejection or adverse reactions during the whole operation. If there is no problem, she can stay in the hospital for a while to recuperate, and she can basically be discharged normally.

At this point, Wen Xu's heart, which had been tensed for more than half a month, relaxed a little, giving him enough time to breathe.He knelt down on the nurse's bed a little weakly, and took out his mobile phone to send a message to Chen Chen to announce the good news.

Although Wen Xu still couldn't contact his mother, facing his father who helped him at that time, Wen Xu still called to thank him.

After tossing around like this, Wen Xu's eyes finally stayed on the avatar in the chat box that hadn't sent a message for nearly a week.

Ah... It turns out that I haven't been in touch with Duan Chenyi for so long.

In order to take care of grandma, Wen Xu basically stayed in the hospital during this time, and slept directly in a small bed next to the hospital bed at night.Wen Xu stayed at Duan Chenyi's house for two nights before his grandmother's accident, and never went there.

He held his phone in his arms and hesitated for a while before opening his chat box with Duan Chenyi and sending a sentence: "Grandma's surgery was successful." Go over.

Five minutes later, Wen Xu hadn't waited for Duan Chenyi's reply.

He sighed softly and put the phone away.Then he got up and went to take care of grandma.

Because professionals are needed to guide the nursing after the operation, Wen Xu specially invited a professional nurse to take care of her. In addition, Aunt Li helped to hire the nurse last time. The two cooperated to take care of grandma, and it was not his turn to do anything.

After knowing that everything was normal and that grandma was being taken care of during the night, Wen Xu confidently took the textbook and walked towards the house of the little girl he was to instruct.

Wen Xu called that girl Xiaolu. Compared with Lin Qirui, she has a good personality and is very obedient.But it is a pity that Xiaolu is a bit stubborn in her studies and often makes ineffective efforts, which leads to her low efficiency and her grades have not been able to improve.

Fortunately, there are still three months before the exam time, Wen Xu has made a comprehensive review plan for her, and her study method has been improved a lot after having guidance.

In this way, Wen Xu took care of his grandmother during the day, and set aside three hours at night to make up lessons as a tutor. On weekends, he went to Lin Qirui's home to teach mathematics at 8 o'clock in the morning.After this kind of life was maintained for two weeks, my grandmother's physical condition improved a lot.

Although it is not enough to be discharged from the hospital, it is still possible to get out of bed in a wheelchair to bask in the sun or something.

But one afternoon, when Wen Xu pushed his grandmother to bask in the sun in the park of the hospital, he suddenly heard his grandmother ask.

"Wen Wen, why doesn't that kid named Xiao Duan come to see you recently? Did you guys quarrel?"

Hearing what grandma said, Wen Xu flicked the pages of the book slightly, "Oh, you said him... maybe he's busy recently."

"That's it." Grandma sighed, "That child seems to care about you quite a bit. Yesterday I heard from the nurse auntie that he often hangs around the door of our ward at night."

"And Xiao Duan seems to bring the soup he made every night. I fell asleep a while ago and thought it was the soup made by my aunt. Yesterday they brought a mouthful, and I realized that it was brought by him."

"He seems to come to you every night, but you go out to be a tutor every night, so you may not have met him."

"Recently, this short paragraph doesn't seem to come very often. Didn't you contact him?"

Wen Xu's body froze, and he was in no mood to read the book in his hand.

"You said, Duan Chenyi, he was waiting for me at the door of the ward every night before?"

The author has something to say:

Grandma: want some soup, let's give it an assist.
