Chapter 32: Take Medicine, Then Eat
“…Sigh…”
Having returned to her original position, Lu Zhiyin’s memories were still lingering in the Garden of the Gods from her memories.
She subconsciously wanted to stand up, but to no surprise, she failed, and her body fell heavily to the ground. The pain made her face reality.
Unlike her in the Garden of the Gods, in this world, she was still that disabled person who couldn’t do anything well.
“…”
She wanted to say something, opened her mouth, and in the end, there was only silent silence.
She wanted to complain, she wanted to curse that deity, she wanted to go home, but now she was at Leng Qing Qiu’s house, and these words couldn’t be spoken.
Lu Zhiyin felt very stifled.
Pressing her lips together, Lu Zhiyin endured the pain and tried to climb back onto the sofa by herself. But just as she raised her hand, Leng Qing Qiu walked out of the kitchen.
“Zhiyin?”
A surprised voice sounded.
Leng Qing Qiu held medicine and a cup of hot water in her hands, quietly looking at the white-haired girl who had fallen to the ground in front of the sofa.
The white-haired girl was facing down, half of her body under the coffee table, looking a bit comical and disheveled.
However, Leng Qing Qiu had no intention of mocking her.
She was just wondering why Lu Zhiyin fell. Wasn’t she on the sofa? Did she want to leave here?
Upon thinking this, Leng Qing Qiu’s mood wasn’t very good either. She didn’t know why her mood was bad.
She began to think that her childhood friend might be afraid of her and wanted to escape from her. If this continued, being stabbed in the back might not be far off?
Leng Qing Qiu did not like betrayal.
However, perhaps all of this was just her overthinking.
Holding the medicine and hot water, Leng Qing Qiu came to the coffee table.
She placed the items in her hands on the coffee table, then bent down, helped Lu Zhiyin out from under the coffee table, then held her and placed her back on the sofa.
Without saying anything more, Leng Qing Qiu picked up the fever-reducing medicine, took out a few pills according to the instructions, and then put the pills into Lu Zhiyin’s mouth one by one.
The face of the white-haired girl immediately changed. Her small face was tightly wrinkled, looking very uncomfortable. Leng Qing Qiu naturally knew why, because the medicine was very bitter.
After stuffing the pills, Leng Qing Qiu picked up the hot water and brought the cup to Lu Zhiyin’s mouth, giving her half a cup of hot water.
“Gulp… cough cough… cough…”
Leng Qing Qiu’s actions were not gentle, and Lu Zhiyin was naturally choked. She coughed for a while, and the bitter taste in her mouth was washed away by the hot water, and her expression gradually calmed down.
“Um, thank you, but… actually, I can take the medicine myself…”
Wiping the water stains from the corner of her mouth, Lu Zhiyin said timidly as she looked at Leng Qing Qiu.
The feeling of choking on water was not good. She actually wanted to complain, but she dared not, so in the end, her words turned into thanks.
Her timid appearance made Leng Qing Qiu think she was afraid of her, but her appearance was indeed cute, making Leng Qing Qiu unable to feel any dislike.
Leng Qing Qiu inexplicably thought of Long Qinxin putting a band-aid on Lu Zhiyin this morning. She lifted Lu Zhiyin’s white hair from her forehead, touched the band-aid, and then thought of Lu Zhiyin falling on the ground just now.
“Zhiyin, what were you trying to do just now? Did you want to go out?”
Leng Qing Qiu’s words made Lu Zhiyin freeze.
“Ah… ah?”
She mumbled twice in a daze, cautiously looking at Leng Qing Qiu’s face, unable to see any abnormalities.
“No, I just… had a dream.”
Closing her eyes, when Lu Zhiyin opened them again, Leng Qing Qiu was already sitting beside her.
“What kind of dream?”
Leng Qing Qiu threw out another question.
To be honest, this kind of prying made Lu Zhiyin uncomfortable. She didn’t like being asked like this.
However, considering her current situation, she couldn’t get angry at Leng Qing Qiu, nor could she easily get away with silence.
To quickly win over the female leads… she could only go along with them and not go against them.
This is what Lu Zhiyin thought, after all, she had no dating experience.
“I dreamed that I could stand and walk.”
Pressing her lips together, Lu Zhiyin hid the matter of the deity and only told Leng Qing Qiu that she could walk in her dream.
“…Mm, is that so.”
Looking at Lu Zhiyin, and touching her chin, Leng Qing Qiu had a thoughtful expression.
Indeed, the contrast between walking in a dream and still having disabled legs after waking up would lead to some foolish actions.
Looking at Lu Zhiyin’s legs, Leng Qing Qiu didn’t feel any pity for her. She just felt relieved that Lu Zhiyin didn’t want to leave here.
“Zhiyin, rest for a bit longer. I’ll go make food.”
Without any intention of comforting Lu Zhiyin, Leng Qing Qiu stood up and returned to the kitchen.
“…”
Looking at Leng Qing Qiu’s retreating back, Lu Zhiyin pressed her lips together again.
She hugged her legs, rested her chin on her knees, and curled into a ball.
She was still a bit sleepy after taking the medicine, but she wasn’t planning to sleep.
She started to wonder if she should stay on the sofa all the time. If she wanted to win them over, she definitely couldn’t give people the impression of being lazy and eating without working, right?
Lu Zhiyin wanted to go to the kitchen to help Leng Qing Qiu, but she turned her head, looked at the wheelchair far away at the door, and dismissed the idea.
The white-haired girl, curled into a ball, sat on the sofa, blankly waiting for her childhood friend to come out of the kitchen.
She sat there blankly for a while, about half an hour, and Leng Qing Qiu came out with the food.
Finally, what was presented on the coffee table were a bowl of steamed eggs and two bowls of white rice.
Very simple food, but it was good to have something to eat, wasn’t it?
Lu Zhiyin, who had starved a few times in this world, had long lost her picky eating habit. It was more like she wasn’t picky before.
“Time to eat.”
Leng Qing Qiu sat beside her, handed her a pair of chopsticks, and then first used a spoon to scoop a spoonful of egg into her bowl.
“After eating, I’ll give you a bath, and then you can sleep.”
While mixing the eggs and rice, Leng Qing Qiu mumbled.
She still hadn’t figured out how to bind Lu Zhiyin to herself. She felt that restricting her too much wasn’t good, but seeing her get close to others made her feel a sense of crisis.
There were also shameless methods. She had seen many villains and was familiar with the methods those villains used to coerce girls, but those methods were not suitable for Lu Zhiyin, after all, Lu Zhiyin had done nothing wrong.
She suffered from being too civilized, thinking this, Leng Qing Qiu shook her head.
Beside her, Lu Zhiyin naturally didn’t know what she was thinking. Looking at the food in front of her, she didn’t notice anything unusual about Leng Qing Qiu’s words for a moment.
The girl stretched her body, picked up her chopsticks like Leng Qing Qiu, and mixed the eggs and rice together. The golden eggs and white rice mixed together didn’t look very good, but they tasted unexpectedly delicious.
Lu Zhiyin remembered that she always liked to eat like this at her grandmother’s house when she was a child.
