"What surprise?"

Chu Lingze held onto the brim of his hat tightly, for fear that Xu Xiao would pull his hat off by jumping up.

"Hey, don't be moved to tears, thump, thump, thump—!"

Xu Xiao mysteriously pulled out a large pile of brick-like exercise books from his school bag. The books were too heavy for him to move, and they hit the end of the hospital bed with a whooping sound:

"The latest Mathematical Olympiad questions! There are also English workbooks and ancient poetry recitation books, which my mother snatched from the bookstore. I will not forget about such a good thing. Let my mother make a set for you, handsome ?”

"...You just want to copy my answer?"

Chu Lingze saw through Xu Xiao's little plan at a glance, Xu Xiao smiled awkwardly when he heard it, and said,

"How come? I, I want to make progress together with you. You have been in the hospital for almost a month. I'm afraid you will cry when you go back to school and can't keep up."

"I won't cry. And with my parents and my dad giving me extra lessons, I won't be unable to keep up."

"Then what if you are too free, doing more questions can improve your IQ! You, if you lie in bed for a month and only watch cartoons every day, you will be lying stupid!"

"I didn't just watch cartoons. Look, my dad bought me a lot of books."

"Anyway, anyway, you can accept it! If you don't accept my mother's order, you will scold me again,"

Xu Xiao ran over to help Chu Lingze put the pile of exercise books into the drawer beside the bed while talking, "But this is my mother's gift for you, I actually prepared a small thing myself. "

"Isn't it a math problem that you can't figure out the solution to?"

Chu Lingze looked at Xu Xiao suspiciously, Xu Xiao shook his head like a rattle, then put his hand into his bulging little schoolbag,

"Am I that kind of person? Look at this—"

Xu Xiao pulled out a bright yellow hand-knitted woolen hat from his schoolbag, and there was a small sunflower with fluffy green leaves on it.

"You, how do you know you want to give me a hat?"

Chu Lingze said in surprise.

"I...I just know it! You put it on and try it out. I made this with my handicraft teacher. There is only one in the world!"

Xu Xiao rubbed his nose, in fact, he secretly suppressed his fear and asked Shen Yichi in advance, but Shen Yichi's expression was not as scary as before when he heard that he was worried about what gift to give Ozawa.

"You did it yourself?"

Chu Lingze took the hat and touched it. It was very fluffy and soft. Except for the exaggerated sunflower, it was pretty pretty.

"Of course, this is the first time I've made something by myself. Who told you to be my buddy!"

Xu Xiao laughed and said, although the hat was mainly made by the handicraft teacher, he just helped thread it on and weave a small sunflower or something.

"But I see that your daddy and daddy have already given you one. The one they bought for you must be better than mine?"

"Ozawa will cherish the gifts you give me."

Chu Lingze smiled happily, showing his little tiger teeth, and carefully put away the little yellow hat. Xu Xiao pestered him to let him try, but he didn't want Xu Xiao to see his little bald head. No answer.

After he put the little yellow hat away, he looked up again and found that Xu Xiao had moved out of the bed table very consciously, took out his homework and lay beside his bed,

"Then let's do our homework now?"

"...You, you want to be here and write with me?"

"Yes,"

Xu Xiao nodded seriously, "It's convenient for you to ask me if you don't know anything."

"You don't have to go home early?"

"No, no, my mother is very happy to hear that I came to play with you, and my home is not far from here."

"OK then."

Chu Lingze spread out his homework book suspiciously, and at the same time glanced at Xu Xiao's - it really looked like the words crawled out of a chicken's paw, it was unsightly.

If parents were asked to check Xu Xiao's homework, they would probably be so angry that they would be furious, Chu Lingze secretly thought.

Before the two little guys wrote a few words, the door of the ward was pushed open, and several nurses with tool trays came in.

"Little friend Ozawa, it's time for inspection again, how do you feel today?"

"Well, there's nothing wrong with it."

Chu Lingze replied honestly, and at the same time obediently jumped out of bed and let them do the examination.

"Well... very good, but postoperative recovery requires a lot of nutrition, you are still a little thin, you still need to eat a nutritious meal."

"Ozawa knows."

"Good boy, let's go first. If you feel uncomfortable, just ring the bell and call your brothers and sisters."

A few nurses left behind a lunch box containing nutritious porridge, and then left in a mighty manner, saying hello to Chu Xian and Shen Yichi who came back early, Shen Yichi saw that Chu Lingze and Xu Xiao got along well He also knew that Xu Xiao was afraid that he would be too scared, so he didn't go in to disturb them.

Xu Xiao helped Chu Lingze lift the lid of the lunch box, and one couldn't help but retched,

"Ooooh... sorry, but what is this! It smells so bad!"

"I just wanted to remind you to pinch your nose..."

Chu Lingze glanced at Xu Xiao in embarrassment. Since he was admitted to the hospital, he had to eat this kind of nutritious paste twice a day on time. Not only did it smell bad, but the taste was also very rough. It was like eating wood residue that tasted like traditional Chinese medicine. scum.

At that time, Chu Xian asked them to change the paste provided by the hospital for the first time. He also said that he could hire a nutritionist for the hospital. Kami Ozawa didn't resist too much, and the matter was finally let go.

"Wow, it's too perverted."

Xu Xiao tied a red scarf to his nose, and carefully handed Chu Lingze a spoon, feeling a little more appreciative of Chu Lingze in his heart—as expected of a good buddy he chose, he can eat this too, awesome!

Chu Lingze pouted, took the spoon and scooped up a big spoon, gritted his teeth and stuffed it into his mouth.

The strong bitter taste and the sour grassy smell instantly filled the mouth. Xu Xiaoguang couldn't help winking when he saw and smelled it. Chu Lingze tightly closed his mouth, for fear that he would be vomited out by the rising smell of medicine.

After one spoonful came the next spoonful. Xu Xiao stood aside and stared at it with wide eyes. Chu Lingze gulped down more than half of it without saying a word.

"Chu Lingze, you... why don't you eat it, or I'll peel an orange for you?"

Chu Lingze just shook his head when he heard the sound,

"Ozawa, Ozawa needs to eat a lot, grow strong, and the surgery will go smoothly, so parents won't worry."

"That, that, then, I will accompany you!"

Xu Xiao gritted his teeth, picked up another small spoon and was about to dig, but was stopped by Chu Lingze,

"But it's not enough for you to eat my amount."

"...That's right, too,"

Xu Xiao scratched his head anxiously, "Then I... well, I will bring you some water."

Chu Lingze nodded, rubbed his eyes, and took three big gulps of the bitter medicine paste, his face wrinkled into a bitter gourd. He took the cup Xu Xiao handed over and drank several gulps before putting it in his mouth. The bitterness was washed away.

Xu Xiao watched his eyes turn red from suffering, and tugged at his sleeve sadly,

"Good brother, I really want to share weal and woe with you, if only I could give birth to this disease for you."

"Then you must cry every day."

Chu Lingze wiped his mouth,

"Come on, keep doing your homework. Don't you still want to tell me about the new knowledge the teacher taught me today?"

"Oh, oh, here we come."

As soon as Xu Xiao heard this, he became energetic. He took out his textbook and started to read to Chu Lingze. Today was the first time he listened carefully and took notes!

Although the fact is that Chu Lingze taught him a lot of homework in turn.

The three weeks have passed. Xu Xiao would come to the hospital to do homework with Chu Lingze almost every day after school. With him as a living treasure, it was rare for Chu Lingze to show any anxiety. Chu Xian thought he was happy Pai, but unexpectedly, on the morning of the operation, Chu Lingze finally couldn't hold back, and gently held his and Shen Yichi's hands,

"Ozawa...Ozawa wants to eat egg custard made by Dad."

"After you finish the operation, can you eat this for the first meal?"

"But I want to eat now..."

Chu Lingze lowered his eyes. He is always more sensitive than his peers. The closer to the day of surgery, the stronger his intuition——

He was afraid that if he didn't eat again, he would lose his chance.
