[Tutor] The Heart of Dwelling Myself

"Grandma Sophia, good morning."

Qianqiu softly opened the door of the ward, opened the curtain skillfully, let the warm sunlight shine in through the glass window, then replaced the water in the vase with fresh water, and quietly sat on the chair beside the hospital bed.

Such days have lasted for nearly half a month, but Grandma Sophia rarely wakes up, most of the time she is asleep.But in order to prevent any accidents from happening, Qianqiu still stayed by Grandma Sophia's side day after day, hoping that she would wake up.

Even if it's just holding that cold and thin hand, at least it can bring a little warmth to Grandma Sofia.

Under Skylark's order, Grandma Sophia was arranged in the best ward and equipped with the top medical staff.But this is not enough, everything depends on Grandma Sophia herself.Once a person gets old, the body's skills will gradually age, and there will be a danger of being swallowed by illness at any time. At this time, the only thing Qianqiu can do is to be her concern and support, and pray that Grandma Sophia will survive this dangerous period as soon as possible.

At the same time, Qianqiu also sees her future self in Grandma Sophia.If it weren't for Ling's existence, maybe decades later, he would be so skinny and lonely lying on the hospital bed.It is impossible for a person to live alone, and those who don't care about the fetters will need a place where they can dock.

"This is the cookie I made today... Although Grandma Sophia, you can't eat it yet, but if you smell the aroma, wake up quickly..."

"Grandma Sophia, I raised Xiaoxue very well. He played very happily with Mixiu, and I also dewormed and bathed him regularly... Please wake up and take a look at him, he misses you very much."

"Our family's Ling and Mr. Skylark like Xiaoxue very much, and Mi Xiu is now eating fat like a little fat man. I will definitely bring it to you next time."

"Grandma Sophia, I'm sorry that I've been away so long suddenly. I read every letter carefully. Why haven't you mentioned that your condition has worsened?..."

"Today's weather is very good. Spring is coming soon, and the outside is starting to warm up... The sprouting of the twigs is really beautiful. Grandma Sophia will work hard like these plants to survive this winter. Wait until you When I wake up, I will tell you everything that happened to me during this period... happy, unhappy... don't you always like to hear these things?"

Qian Qiu lightly held Grandma Sophia's hand, babbling about the story of what happened along the way.The warm sunshine shone on Qianqiu's back, bringing the vitality of early spring.The warm golden softness wrapped around the back, and the slightest bit of chill was no longer a big deal, and the warmth that penetrated into it made the whole ward feel happy and harmonious.

I heard that if you talk to a sleeping patient more often and call her name more often, the patient may try to create a miracle.Qianqiu believed in this, and came here persistently every day to unilaterally talk about family affairs with Grandma Sophia.Say it even if you can't say anything, even if the other party can't hear it, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, she will not give up.

Because Grandma Sophia is the one who treats her tenderly here, and is an existence that once depended on each other.

"Ling is always a careless person. Didn't Grandma Sophia always want to see him? To be honest, he really looks very similar to me, and even I was surprised. But Ling is a child after all, and he is always on the go. , but very lively... and optimistic. To be honest, I envy him that he can be so carefree..."

"Ling also said that he wanted to see you very much, and wanted to talk to you. I think you will like him very much, Grandma Sophia..."

"By the way, Grandma Sophia. This time, I would like to thank Mr. Skylark... If it weren't for him, maybe I wouldn't be able to stay in this ward. I believe the doctors here will cure you soon."

"Have I mentioned Mr. Skylark to you? Speaking of which, he is really a person who cannot be approached... He looks really scary, and he usually looks unsmiling, but he is actually a very gentle person in private. Although He still has a cold look, but the slight changes in his expression can tell that he is a warm-hearted and good person."

"Speaking of which, he is really cute. Even though he is very busy, he still comes to eat at home on time, just like a nine-to-five office worker... Ling also said that he's just here to eat, after all, He even put on a straight-faced look', that poker face is scary... But after thinking about it, it's kind of funny..."

"I also let Ling learn to cook and eat by himself, but the things he made are really hard to call food. The kitchen is still full of burnt smell all the time, and the newly made meals will also be caused by the bottom of the pot. There is a burning smell in the relationship, Mr. Yunque almost got into a fight with Ling with a cold face, hahaha... Don't you think it is very childish?"

"However, I think this kind of life is actually not bad... I never thought that Mr. Skylark, who has always hated the bustle, can bear these sitting at home for meals. Sometimes it feels like a family... If Grandma Sophia wakes up soon, come and taste it Taste my craft! I have grown a lot."

Qianqiu bent down and gently leaned against the bed, put her cheek against Grandma Sophia's hand, yawned and quietly closed her eyes.

Recently, taking care of the family's three meals a day has been mixed with taking care of Grandma Sofia, which made her feel unexpectedly tired, but she felt very happy despite being tired.

The worried mood will become very happy when I walk out of the hospital and return home.Especially when the noisy Ling shut up and ate under the sharp eyes of Mr. Skylark, he would lose the weight all over his body and become relaxed.

Such peaceful days are like returning to the past, even the dream is no longer full of empty illusions, but has become stable.

But how long will this kind of harmonious life last?

"Little Qianqiu..."

The long curly eyelashes moved slightly, and then the pair of wet brown eyes opened.

Qian Qiu felt the fingers she was holding move slightly, and she sat up from the edge of the bed suddenly after making sure that she was not sleepy.The sudden dizziness caused her to support her head quickly, and then looked towards the hospital bed.

Obviously, the voice is still kind and tolerant, but it is full of haggardness and fragility due to illness. The voice rolling through the Adam's apple is like a river that is about to dry up. It is difficult to squeeze out, as if it will be taken away by the breeze at any time.

"Sophia...Grandma?" Qian Qiu rubbed his eyes, and then the back of his hand dragged water from the eye sockets.Wiping the haze from her eyes, she threw herself on the old man, "Are you finally awake?"

The old man slowly stretched out his hand and patted Qianqiu's ups and downs on the back, gentle and generous again and again, full of longing and love just like a real family member.

"I'm back, little Qianqiu."

"Strange, why didn't Mr. Skylark come today?"

Looking at the three dinners on the table, Qianqiu rested her chin in doubt.Mi Xiu and Xiao Xue had already gathered around the table, staring at the steaming meals on the table. Mi Xiu stuck out his limp tongue, saliva dripping, and his dark eyes were full of longing.

"Ah, speaking of this..."

Ling poked at the udon noodles in the bowl, appearing absent-minded for a moment.

With a snap, the chopsticks slipped out of the bowl and fell to the ground, spinning around.

"what happened?"

Before being tortured by Mi Xiu, Qian Qiu quickly picked up the soup-stained chopsticks, put them in front of the sink and rinsed them carefully.

"The guy who always came to grab a meal is gone."

The chopsticks held between his fingers fell into the pool with a brush, and the clanging sound was covered by the rustling water, just like Qianqiu's heart being picked up in an instant.

"Going away?" She picked up the chopsticks as if nothing had happened, and continued to rinse, but her ears were quietly pricked up, waiting for Ling's next sentence.

"Because he has already taken care of things in the past half month, and sister, don't you want to live a normal life? There shouldn't be any trouble now... In short, his task has been completed, probably like this—— It was reported by Brother Caobi. Brother Caobi said that he hoped that we could live better, and you are welcome to come back if you have any difficulties.” Ling scratched his hair in some embarrassment, stared dryly at the udon noodles in the bowl, and prayed His eyes hoped that his sister would hand over a pair of clean chopsticks.

"What's the meaning?"

Shouldn't this be the standard and perfect end?Returning to normal life, focusing on the beauty of every tiny part of life, and living a life comfortably in this way-shouldn’t it be the most anticipated thing at the moment?

But, just leave without saying a word?

Qian Qiu put the chopsticks in Ling's hands, wiped his hands on the apron hastily, ran to the door and opened it.

The door of the next door was open, and it was empty.

Although there was nothing in it originally, Mr. Skylark didn't live here, but he just acted as a neighbor during meal times.But now the empty apartment made Qianqiu's heart tremble.

Just like that... leave without saying a word?

"I said sister...he did leave." Ling walked over and patted Qianqiu on the shoulder.

——Although he didn't say a word when he left, he felt a terrible feeling of taking the wrong medicine.

Ling couldn't help shivering, and stretched out his hands to hug his arms.

He saw Qianqiu's head lowered gradually, and thought that his sister would cry, but after a short silence, she turned her head back, with a calm expression on her face.The curve of the mouth was softly raised, obviously warm and gentle, but unexpectedly full of absent-mindedness.

"Let's eat."

“It’s time for us to live on our own too.”

Qianqiu passed Ling's side, hurriedly ran to the dining table and hugged Mixiu's body that was trying to climb onto the seat, complaining that it was still soft and coquettish as before.

"Mixiu! If that's the case, you won't be allowed to eat chicken jerky tomorrow—do you know Xiaoxue?"

But why—?

Ling stared at her sister in a daze as she always scolded the troublesome Mi Xiu gently, but her expression was mixed with a bit of trance.At least at this moment, he could feel the loss in the other party's heart and the countless questions that popped up.

That guy is gone, shouldn't he be happy?

Shouldn't you be proud that no one came to grab food with confidence?

Obviously so annoying.

But when the other party left in a hurry, he couldn't even ask the reason.

The sentence "Why!" only got the expected cold eyes.

……why?

"Grandma Sophia, you're finally awake!"

"Xiao Qianqiu, don't cry... I just woke up, it's not good to cry. The old man still likes to see young people like you laugh."

Qian Qiu quickly wiped away the tears lingering in her eyes, her red nose looks very cute.Her eyes narrowed, and she smiled softly.

Then Qian Qiu seemed to remember what he said before, and quickly grabbed Grandma Sophia's wrist.

"By the way, Grandma Sophia—I still have a lot to say to you—"

……

"Is that so? So little Qianqiu, have you been following that young man named Skylark?"

"Yes, yes. I am very grateful to him. He is a person who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and Grandma Sophia's condition can only be stabilized by his support..."

I don't know if it's because the tears from before have not completely faded away, but Qianqiu's cheeks are slightly stained with a slight blush.She danced and described what happened during this period, like a child who had tasted something new.

Grandma Sophia also looked at her quietly, with a doting arc on her lips.

"Xiao Qianqiu...do you like that Mr. Skylark?"

Qianqiu's waving hand suddenly froze, she froze for a moment, then turned her eyes to Grandma Sophia.

"I like……"

Qian Qiu uttered these words with difficulty, nothing could fool this experienced old man.After uttering this sentence, she shyly looked away at Grandma Sophia's eyes, feeling a burning sensation on her cheek.

"Although I like it, I don't want to say it. I'm afraid that Mr. Hibari won't like it if I like it."

Those clear eyes suddenly looked lost.

Because that person, even if he was standing beside him, would feel as if he was thousands of miles away.I can only look up, longing on the ground, the power that stands in the clouds.

Grandma Sophia cheerfully stretched out her hand and touched Qianqiu's head, smiling peacefully.

"In my opinion, that young man is like Xiao Qianqiu's hero. Although his identity is indeed not suitable for you, I don't want Xiao Qianqiu to take risks. But the important thing about feelings is not Status, status and other external things, but to see your heart."

"How are you going to know if he doesn't like it if you haven't tried it?"

"...Of course, if Xiao Qianqiu doesn't like it, just treat it as an old man talking nonsense."

Qian Qiu was about to say something, but saw Grandma Sophia's complexion suddenly changed, the cheeks covered with ditches also gathered together in pain, and the old and thin body trembled violently.

She hastily pressed the light on the bedside, anxiously waiting for the doctor to arrive.

"Grandma Sophia? Grandma Sophia!"

"No——I still want to be by your side! Otherwise, how can I rest assured!... No matter who it is or what it is, I will always be with Grandma Sophia...!"

"I will stay in Venice forever and not go anywhere!"

"Cough cough...Little Qianqiu...cough cough cough...just because of me..."

"Here is my life, right? So, Grandma Sophia, you must persevere... Look, Xiaoxue is still waiting for you... and I haven't cooked for you yet..."

……

Not going anywhere...?

Hibari, who heard that the patient's condition had changed, stopped slowly.

A trace of bewilderment appeared in those eyes that were overpowering everything.

——Small animals, it really should be better to stay in the peaceful woods forever without any worries?
