After answering the phone, Tao Xiling's face turned slightly pale, and there was obviously something wrong with his expression, and his eyebrows twitched from time to time, and his heart also became worried.
The sound insulation of the elderly phone is actually not good, and the listening distance is very close, so she can actually hear the voice on the phone very clearly.
At the beginning, Shi Ting didn't realize that such a thing would happen, she was still thinking... "Xiao Ling" is actually Tao Xiling's mother's nickname for her, it's quite kind.
But then, she heard the following words.
Although I sometimes felt that Tao Xiling's parents were a bit patriarchal, but no matter what, they were the parents who raised Tao Xiling, took care of her food and lodging, and sent her to school.
Tao Xiling's words didn't reveal too many unqualified aspects of her parents, and she didn't have any complaints, so Shi Ting guessed that the relationship between them should be good.
After learning that her father had lost her leg, Tao Xiling must have felt very uncomfortable.
Thinking that Tao Xiling would be heartbroken by this, Shi Ting felt sorry for her.
Seeing Tao Xiling's pale face now, she pursed her lips even more.
Tao Xiling took a deep breath, and then explained to the mother on the phone: "Don't worry, Mom, have you taken Dad to the hospital yet?"
Shi Ting quietly stood aside, staring at Tao Xiling quietly.
A voice came from the other side of the phone: "Send it, your sixth uncle happened to have a car at home, so I asked him to take your dad and me to the hospital, but, but Xiao Ling, the doctor said your dad's leg fell. It’s broken, why do you need to build a steel plate? It’s going to be an operation! Oh, what can I do, for such a big thing as surgery, I, I…”
Speaking to the other side, he began to cry again.
Shi Ting turned his head to the side, his expression slightly moved.
She doesn't know much about this, but... If the situation is serious enough to put a steel plate on it, the fall may be a bit serious.
Hospitalization fees, surgery fees, follow-up treatment and prescriptions, and the cost of installing steel plates... the sum of the zeros and zeros should be very difficult for a family like Tao Xiling.
And if you want the operation to go smoothly and the follow-up recovery to be good, it is best to choose a better choice of steel plate and hospital.But in this way, all expenses may also rise accordingly.
Shi Ting hangs his eyes for a while, and starts to think about how much private money he has in his hand, and whether it is enough to give it to Tao Xiling.
In fact, Shi Ting's family is rich, and helping Tao Xiling's father with surgery is no problem, but Shi Ting doesn't want to use his parents' money for the time being.
After all, she had selfish motives in helping Tao Xiling.
Shi Ting is not a kind person who is willing to help others. The reason why she is willing to help Tao Xiling is because they were friends before. Now, Tao Xiling is someone she likes.
Because of this, Shi Ting even wanted to get the money himself.
Of course, if she didn't have enough money, she would borrow it from her parents, but it wasn't for nothing.
The only question now is...will Tao Xiling want it?
Father's injury is of course the most important thing. Tao Xiling is not a stubborn and pedantic person, so he will not be stubborn on such matters.
Shi Ting pursed her lips, raised her eyes again and looked at Tao Xiling worriedly.
Tao Xiling comforted her mother, "Mom, don't be in a hurry and don't cry. Listen to me, first ask the doctor about the operation and treatment, the cost, and whether my father has been hospitalized? Have you paid the bill? Is the money enough? I used to work as a part-time tutor and still got paid, I'll call you right away."
Mother Tao: "Your Sixth Uncle helped save the money first, and we have to pay it back. Xiaoling, can you, can you ask for leave from school? Why don't you go home for a while?"
Tao Xiling said, "Okay, don't worry, I'll book the tickets now."
Mother Tao cried for a while before hanging up the phone.
When the call was turned off, all the voices were cut off, and the environment suddenly returned to silence, but this kind of silence did not make people calm, but made them more uncomfortable.
Tao Xiling slowly put down the phone, raised his head and subconsciously looked at Shi Ting.
Her complexion has not yet recovered, and her whole state is in stark contrast to just now. With some worry and unconscious expression of helplessness, she looks at it as if she is asking for help in a daze, very similar to that It's the kind of performance that will look at the trusted person at the first time.
Shi Ting's heart ached when she saw her eyes like this, she held Tao Xiling's hand without thinking, "Don't be afraid, don't worry, I will help you, I will help you."
Shi Ting hugged Tao Xiling in his arms and reached out to pat her on the back.
This kind of thing is actually nothing to a family like Shi Ting's, and she doesn't even need to worry about it, just be a hands-off shopkeeper.But it was different for Tao Xiling.
Money is the only thorn in her way.
It's just a simple word, but the experience brought by having money and not having money is completely different. It can even be said...not having money is their biggest dilemma.
Shi Ting took a deep breath, the tip of her nose became red from the cold air, her nose was a little sore, but it was not as bad as her heart.
Shi Ting felt sorry for Tao Xiling, but was also worried about her.
She turned her head and said softly to Tao Xiling: "Don't be stupid, do you know? I know a little bit about your family's situation. If you have any difficulties, just tell me directly. Don't be stubborn, understand? I will definitely help you. I am not afraid of trouble." , I'm afraid you don't want to bother me."
She likes Tao Xiling, so she can accept everything about him, not only Tao Xiling's indulgence, tenderness and love for her, but also the so-called "trouble" brought by the other party's accident at this moment, Shi Ting can also accept it.
What she was most afraid of was that Tao Xiling would not let her help.
The whispers that Shiting heard in her ear gradually brought back Tao Xiling's thoughts. She closed her eyes, reached out and grabbed Shiting's clothes, buried her on the other's shoulder to breathe her temperature, and said in a hoarse voice: "I know, thank you."
Shi Ting patted her, "Thank you, we have such a relationship."
After the two returned, Tao Xiling quickly started booking tickets.
Shi Ting glanced at her situation, "Is there no direct high-speed rail?"
Tao Xiling raised her eyes, then shook her head lightly, "Only the train."
On weekdays, she always travels back and forth by train or bus. They don't even have a high-speed rail station, and Tao Xiling has never taken a high-speed rail.
And even if it's a train, it's not her hometown to go out after arriving at the station, and she needs to transfer to a bus or bus to go to the small town.
The delay in this is not short.
After Tao Xiling explained the situation there, Shi Ting frowned slightly, then reached out and pressed Tao Xiling's cell phone, and said to the other party, "I'll find someone to take us there."
Tao Xiling was startled, and felt a slight movement. She hesitated and asked, "But will this be too troublesome?"
Shi Ting raised his eyebrows, "It's okay, this is nothing troublesome."
Then she took out her cell phone and made a call.
The distance between city D and city A is not bad, and you should be able to get there by taking the high speed in three hours.And it saves the time of waiting in line for the bus to transfer, but it is worth it.
What's more, it's not that there are no cars and no one. Since there are better options, of course we should choose the better one.
After finishing the phone call, Shi Ting said, "Let's pack our things."
Tao Xiling pursed her lips and nodded.
When Tao Xiling saw that Tingting was also packing up her own things, she couldn't help being startled, "You...will you go with me too?"
Shi Ting nodded, "Of course, I don't trust you as a little girl running over, so going with you can be regarded as a care."
Tao Xiling pursed her lips and clenched her fingers slowly, with mixed feelings in her heart.
It was natural to be moved. After all, Shi Ting thought of her so much and helped her so much, even if the other party was just an ordinary roommate to her, Tao Xiling was still grateful to her.
But Shi Ting is not just a familiar stranger.
She is also Tao Xiling's favorite, someone who secretly swore to protect and cherish her.
Before she could protect the other party, she was protected by the other party again...
In Tao Xiling's heart, he was more ashamed, probably with some slight embarrassment of being always protected and always causing trouble.
Although sometimes she would not feel that she was troublesome, and the other party had never had negative emotions or complaints, how could Tao Xiling keep at ease and repeat it again and again.
She closed her eyes, exerted a little force on her fingers, and her fingertips turned white.
After a while, Tao Xiling took a deep breath.
"It's okay, you don't have to go with me, I can do it alone."
Shi Ting refused without even thinking about it, "This is the first time you have experienced such a thing, how can you do it? One more person will take care of you. And don't worry, after your father is successfully hospitalized and made an appointment for surgery, I will take care of you." I'm back, I won't stay any longer."
Tao Xiling's eyelashes trembled, "I listen..."
Shi Ting looked up at her, and then directly blocked her words, "Hurry up and clean up, we will go to the counselor to ask for leave later. Be good, don't think too much, I'm the one who's fine."
Tao Xiling closed her eyes, and then came to Shi Ting, pulled the other party in Shi Ting's puzzled eyes, pulled her into his arms and hugged her.
With the palm of his hand extremely restrained, he pressed down on Shi Ting's lower back.
Afterwards, she let go of Shi Ting, and then packed her things.
Shi Ting blinked and touched his waist.
I don't know why, just now she always had the illusion that... Tao Xiling also had hot feelings for her.
But the illusion should be just an illusion, Shi Ting didn't think much about it, and quickly put this matter behind him.
After the two of them packed up their things, they went to ask for leave for their counselors. Shi Ting asked for two days off first, and it was easier for her to ask for leave. For such requests or requests, the counselors basically opened their eyes. Turn a blind eye and give them maximum accommodation.
After all... just, all of them, heck, come in through the back door, and they are still affiliated departments, and the counselors generally don't feel uncomfortable.
But Tao Xiling might have some troubles.
One is because of their counselor himself, and the other is that Tao Xiling may not be able to return for a few days.
When can I have surgery?How long will it take to recuperate after surgery?How long will Tao Xiling take care of her as a daughter?These are currently unknown.
When she heard it, she found that Tao Xiling hadn't asked for leave yet, so she quietly asked for permission and entered the office to intercede for Tao Xiling.
In the end, the counselor still gave a conservative answer, asking Tao Xiling to ask for five days off first, and if her father's condition is not well by then, she will make up a new leave slip.
Shi Ting said at the time that she could come and help Tao Xiling make up the leave slip.
Tao Xiling's eyebrows and eyes twitched slightly, and the fingers hanging below moved, and reached out to touch Shi Ting's arm.
The warm touch flashed by, but it was enough.
Tao Xiling closed her eyes, relying on that touch to comfort herself.
After asking for leave, the two of them set off directly by car.
After sitting in the back seat, Shi Ting took a look at Tao Xiling. The other person's face hadn't recovered until this time. She looked sideways at the scenery flashing by outside the window, her face was still a little pale, she looked like a fragile Like a crystal doll.
Shi Ting pursed her lips, reached over and pulled Tao Xiling's coat.
Tao Xiling turned her head and forced a smile on Shi Ting.
When I heard it, I felt strange and uncomfortable.
She said to Tao Xiling: "Don't worry, everything will be fine in the hospital. I, I have never broken a leg, but I seem to have heard that as long as the operation is done and the injury is recovered quietly, it will be good for you. It's the same as before, don't be afraid."
Tao Xiling's brows and eyes had a soft smile of unknown meaning, "Yeah."
Shi Ting said: "There is still a while, do you want to lie down and squint for a while? Otherwise, I'm afraid you won't be able to have a good rest there."
Tao Xiling shook her head lightly, "No, I... can't sleep."
Of course Shi Ting knew that something happened to her family and Tao Xiling was worried, but she felt that at night, if Tao Xiling had to accompany her to take care of her, she would not be able to sleep well, and Tao Xiling's complexion was so bad that Shi Ting was really worried.
There was worry in her eyes, "But you may not be able to sleep even more when you arrive at the hospital. If you really can't, you can just close your eyes and rest for a while..."
Tao Xiling couldn't resist her, so he curled the corners of his lips lightly, and then closed his eyes as she said.
Tao Xiling slowly leaned his head on the back of the chair, feeling all kinds of emotions in his heart, but he couldn't tell what he was thinking.
Her mind was in a mess at the moment.
Tao Xiling knew she had to calm down, but she couldn't.
She thought that she had grown up and had enough ability to take care of everything on her own, but it was only at this moment that Tao Xiling realized that it was not enough, far from enough.
She still needs to grow up.
The car suddenly bumped.
Tao Xiling's figure was crooked, and then leaned towards Shi Ting's side.
When he caught a glimpse of this situation from the corner of his eye, his original fiddle with the phone stopped suddenly, and he looked sideways at Tao Xiling's situation.
With a little nervousness and unexplainable expectation, she sat stiffly on the spot, straightened her back, and dared not move immediately.
Then, Tao Xiling put a pillow on her shoulder.
Shi Ting blinked frantically, and almost wanted to go to the playground for two laps.But she was still concerned about the current situation, afraid that she would disturb Tao Xiling, so she didn't move anything.
Tao Xiling was not asleep.In fact, she was awake and rational just now, but Tao Xiling was too tired and didn't want to open her eyes.
What's more... If she doesn't open her eyes, she can pretend that she is asleep.
No matter what a sleeping person does, it is justifiable.
With such despicable thoughts, Tao Xiling didn't care about the tilt of his body, and even controlled the direction of the tilt, so that he would listen to the side when he fell.
She closed her eyes, but she was actually very awake.But at this moment, she can only pretend to be in a daze to cover up her little inhuman thoughts.
Tao Xiling knew that it was not good for her to do so, but she continued to do "wrong things" while feeling guilty and self-conscious.
When he really leaned against Shi Ting's shoulder, Tao Xiling felt as if his heart was also leaning against him, and with a slight relief, he relaxed.
Her eyelashes trembled, and when she smelled the fresh fragrance from the clothes, her eyes felt a little hot.
She can only use this method to listen when she gets close.
After waiting for a minute or two, seeing that Tao Xiling hadn't woken up, he slowly relaxed his body and breathed a sigh of relief.
Just... very nervous!After all, it’s the first time that someone I like leans on my shoulders qwq.
At this moment, Shi Ting is not at all afraid that her arm will be numb from the pillow, she only wants to get close to the person she likes.
And... at the moment Tao Xiling might not be feeling well, if she could lay her head on her heart and feel better, then let alone the numbness of her arm, even when her arm was broken, she would feel that she was fine.
At this time, there was no sound in the car, only the slight movement of the vehicle.
Shi Ting sits in the back, next to someone he likes.
She looked at Tao Xiling carefully, and saw the side face of the other party, and the long eyelashes.
Shi Ting paused, but he couldn't hold back after all, and cautiously stretched out his fingertips to touch Tao Xiling's cheek.
At first, Tao Xiling thought that the touch on her face was an illusion, something she imagined, but then she gradually realized that it seemed to be real.
Because the fingertips became the backs of hands, slowly and carefully sticking to her cheeks, caressing them gently, with love and distress.
Tao Xiling's heart beat heavily.
A person's words, actions, and eyes are all possible to express love.
Tao Xiling wasn't sure if it was because she was thinking too much that caused her feeling to be out of balance, but now that she was lying here with her eyes closed, when she felt Shi Ting's movements, Tao Xiling always had the illusion that the other party liked her too.
It seems that it is not her unrequited love and secret love.
It seemed that Shi Ting also had the same idea as her.
Tao Xiling pinched gently with the fingers hidden in his sleeves, and even his breathing changed.
Will it be so?Or is it all just her own delusion.
At the end of the three-hour drive, they got off at a hospital in the county seat of City D.
Shi Ting helped Tao Xiling take out the suitcase, a little unsure whether she should follow, although she really wanted to help, but anyway, she was an outsider, would it be inappropriate.
Fortunately, Tao Xiling looked back, "Do you... want a piece?"
Tao Xiling also hesitated when asking questions, because she was afraid that her question would confuse Shi Ting, and even more afraid that the other party would find it troublesome, but on the other hand, Tao Xiling felt that Shi Ting might need her to ask.
Shi Shi nodded immediately when he heard the words, "I'll go with you to have a look."
Because she had already made up her mind that she would stay here for a day or two no matter what, Shi Ting told the driver: "You go back first, I might want to live here."
The driver nodded, "Then be careful, call me when you go back."
Shi Ting nodded, "Thanks for your hard work."
The hospital in the small county is not big, but there are many people coming and going, Shi Ting was afraid of getting separated from Tao Xiling, so he held Tao Xiling's hand.
And Tao Xiling called to confirm the location of the hospital bed.
Shi Ting looked at the people coming and going in the hall, smelling the smell of disinfectant on the tip of her nose... To be honest, she didn't like it very much.
But no one likes hospitals.
Except for the birth of a newborn, it is better not to come to the hospital if you can not come to the hospital.Because once it comes, it means sick.
Tao Xiling led Shi Ting away to the ward, she said softly, "Do you feel uncomfortable? If not, you go outside and wait for me first?"
Shi Ting hurriedly said: "No, no, how come." She is not a real little fairy, how could she not be able to adapt to these things.
Hearing this, Tao Xiling slightly bent the corners of her lips, and shook Shi Ting's hand.
After driving all the way, her emotions have been digested a lot, and now she is not as fragile and sad as before.
The two stopped outside the ward.
Shi Ting felt a little confused at this moment, she whispered: "You go in, I, I will sit outside and wait for you."
Tao Xiling didn't struggle or insist, she nodded, "Okay."
After seeing Tao Xiling walk in, Shi Ting sat next to him.
But she didn't stop while sitting, still paying attention to the movement in the ward. After a while, Shi Ting changed her seat, just in time to see the situation in the ward with the door open.
The ward here is a three-person room, and Tao Xiling's father happened to be in the innermost one. From time to time, they could see their situation from here, but they didn't notice it.
There was a woman and a man in front of the hospital bed, probably Tao Xiling's mother and the sixth uncle who sent them here.
Tao Xiling's mother already had a lot of gray hair in her hair, she looked a little tired and old, but she didn't feel weak.
Because there are few people in the room, the voice is not noisy, so they can just hear their voices when they talk.
Mother Tao said, "Little Ling, you're here."
Tao Xiling sat down next to him and looked at his father's condition worriedly, "How is it? What did the doctor say?"
Mother Tao rubbed her tears, "I don't quite understand it, but I guess it's going to be an operation, and I don't understand it, but it sounds like it's painful, and it costs money, my little one." Ling, you, what do you think we should do about this, how can our family have so much money?"
Tao Xiling asked softly, "How much is the total cost, and how much is the difference?"
Mother Tao said, "I didn't ask the specifics, I'm too confused..."
Uncle Liu said: "I asked before, and the operation is not too expensive, it costs several thousand yuan, but the cost of the steel plate and the follow-up medication need to be paid separately, and there is also the hospitalization fee, which is also calculated separately. .”
Mother Tao: "That's right, your sixth uncle paid for the emergency room and hospital expenses today."
Tao Xiling said conveniently, "I'll give it to Sixth Uncle later."
"Don't be in a hurry, Xiaoling, you have to help your mother when you come here, she doesn't understand anything, you have to take care of it."
Tao Xiling nodded, "Don't worry, Sixth Uncle."
Uncle Six didn't stay here any longer and left after a while.
When I heard him coming out of the ward, I quickly pulled a suitcase and put it in front of me to block my guilty conscience.Although...she didn't know why she felt guilty.
From what he just heard, Shi Ting reckoned that Tao Xiling's father's situation shouldn't be very serious, but since this was the first time their family had encountered such an incident, and it was the mainstay of the accident, only Tao Xiling's mother was left. I don't know much, so there is a lot of panic.
But as long as you find a good hospital and keep up with the money, it shouldn't be a big problem.
Shi Ting did the calculations in his mind, then took out his phone and looked at his savings, it should be enough.
Tao Xiling took a glass of water for her mother, "I'll ask the doctor later, Mom, you should rest first."
Mother Tao took the water, "Hey... what to do, your father is down, how can this family live."
Tao Xiling comforted her softly: "Don't worry, I'll find a solution."
Mother Tao paused for a while, and suddenly remembered something, "By the way, I heard from your sixth uncle that we have a new rural cooperative medical system, which seems to be able to reimburse medical expenses? Mom doesn't understand this, so you can ask about it when the time comes." , can save a little bit."
Tao Xiling responded.
Sitting outside, Shi Ting also heard this. She thought about it, and wanted to take out her mobile phone to ask about it, but then she felt that her IQ, what if she couldn't do it?Anyway, she should be able to contact someone at home, so she can directly find someone to help with it.
It's just... to ask my parents for help.
But this is much lower than the difficulty of asking for money.
Holding the phone, Shi Ting silently apologized in her heart, and then sent a WeChat message to ask her mother.
While replying to the message, she paid attention to the movement inside.
Tao Xiling asked, "Where's Xiao Fei?"
Mother Tao: "Ah, he's still in school. Mom was afraid it would delay his studies, so she didn't ask him to come over. Besides, he, a high school kid, can't help much. If he comes, he'll add to the trouble."
Tao Xiling twitched the corners of his lips noncommittally, there was a trace of tiredness in his brows and eyes, and he didn't say anything else.
But Shi Ting was very angry when she heard this outside. At that moment, she even suspected that she had heard it wrong.
What is the reason? ? ?
Xiao Fei, he should be Tao Xiling's younger brother. He also goes to school and asks for leave. Why does the younger brother delay his studies, but not the older sister?Besides, Tao Xiling must have rushed over from City A. Isn't her hard work not worth mentioning?
Of course, maybe Tao Xiling's younger brother was in the critical moment of senior year of high school, maybe Tao Xiling was relatively relaxed when he was in freshman year, but when he was protecting the calf, it seemed that even this was not enough. Isn't this a blatant partiality?
And as a boy, can't you run errands?No matter how steady and mature Tao Xiling was, she was still a girl in school, so how could she be so good?
Sometimes I can't bear to hear this.
She couldn't stand others favoring others and ignoring Tao Xiling, and even wanted Tao Xiling to pay for it.
But now it was Tao Xiling's mother who did this, even if Shi Ting was angry again, there was nothing she could do.So she had no choice but to bite her lower lip, angry with herself.
After a while, Tao Xiling came out of the ward.
Shi Ting quickly stood up and greeted her.
Facing Shi Ting, Tao Xiling smiled lightly at the other party, "It's been a long wait, I'll take you out for something to eat."
Shi Ting shook her head, "It's okay, I'm not hungry." She looked at Tao Xiling with some worry, and hesitated to speak.
Tao Xiling said: "It's nothing serious, I'll ask the doctor later." These were the words that Tao Xiling heard to comfort her before, and now they are used by the other party to comfort her.
But that's not what Shi Ting was worried about, but now she couldn't ask what she was worried about... because Shi Ting didn't want to make Tao Xiling sad again.
Even if Tao Xiling didn't show it on the surface.But being treated with such partiality would make anyone feel uncomfortable.
So Shi Ting changed the subject, "By the way, what about medical expenses and surgery expenses?"
Tao Xiling talked about the new rural cooperative medical system.But these are also the first encounters for her. She has been immersed in her studies before, and she didn't care about these.
In fact, Tao Xiling also regretted it a little. If she could care more about these things, she wouldn't be blinded now.
"It's okay, I'll go to more places to ask. Even if you don't understand, just ask more."
Shi Ting walked out with her, and said quietly: "Actually, there are people on my side who have been in contact with the new rural cooperative medical system before. If you don't mind, I will call that uncle to help you go through the formalities? This can also quickly Some."
Tao Xiling raised her eyes and looked over, the emotions in her eyes fluctuated slightly, "Really? Would it be...would it be too troublesome?"
Shi Ting quickly shook his head, "No! He is an acquaintance with our family."
Tao Xiling's eyelashes moved.
In fact, she knows that even acquaintances need favors, but at this moment she has no other choice, after all, she really needs this help.
Tao Xiling pinched his palm and said in a low voice, "Thank you."
Shi Ting quickly shook his head.
When the two of them went out to buy food, Tao Xiling was still a little absent-minded. She couldn't tell whether she was worried about her father's condition or because of what happened in the ward today.
Sometimes I want to ask, but I am afraid that this will touch on Tao Xiling's sad things, but hold back...
Well, she admitted that she felt a little uncomfortable because she couldn't bear Tao Xiling being bullied like this.
Shi Ting said, "You said before that you have a younger brother?"
Tao Xiling came back to her senses and nodded, "Two years younger than me, and I'm a sophomore in high school now."
Shi Ting nodded, and after a while quietly said: "You are two years younger than you, so he is an adult...why doesn't he come here?"
Tao Xiling paused for a moment, then raised her eyes to look at Shi Ting.
When he listened, he froze, almost thinking that his mind had been discovered.
But in fact, she is not afraid of her partiality and resentment being discovered by Tao Xiling, she is just a little guilty that what she "overhears" will be known by Tao Xiling.
But before she could hear anything, Tao Xiling looked away again, her voice was very calm, without showing any other emotions.
"Well, he's busy with his studies and can't make it."
Shi Ting: ...
Damn, she is still so angry when she hears this again! !
So she puffed her cheeks and couldn't help but said, "Then aren't you busy with your studies? Why do you have to take so many days off to work as a nurse?"
She knew that she shouldn't radiate such emotions to Tao Xiling again, but Shi Ting couldn't help it.
She was like a wounded and suffering cub, impatient and impatient, as if only through this method could she relieve her pain.
Tao Xiling didn't seem to expect that Shi Ting would say such a thing, and couldn't help but froze.
"I..." She pursed her lips, looked away, and answered after a while: "It's still different after all."
However, what is different, she did not say.
Shi Ting looked at her, and some didn't know whether to continue talking.
She lowered her head sadly.
Seeing her in such a state, Tao Xiling softened her heart.
She knew that Shi Ting was wronged and wronged for herself, but Tao Xiling no longer had such emotions, and was replaced by calmness and indifference.
But no matter what, seeing Shi Ting defending herself like this made her very happy.
Tao Xiling's eyelids moved, and he could clearly feel his heart beating again and again.
She paused, then said, "I'm not upset or sad about it either, so it's okay."
So you don't need to be sad.
But Shi Ting was not comforted.
In her opinion, Tao Xiling is so good, why should he be wronged like this.And... Shi Ting thought of Tao Xiling's mother who wanted to save money to buy a house for Tao Xiling's younger brother but refused to build a house for Tao Xiling.
So this feeling is more serious.
For some reason, she suddenly felt that her nose was blocked.
The more Shi Ting thought about it, the more wronged she became. This was the first time she was wronged like this, and it was also the first time she felt wronged for someone else.
So Shi Ting simply stopped.
"But I will feel sad." There was a little hoarseness and crying in her voice.
Tao Xiling's eyes widened suddenly, not because of her words to defend herself, but because of her current state.
Tao Xiling, who was originally calm and calm, became a little flustered at the moment. She reached out her hand subconsciously, but stopped in the middle.
"You..." Tao Xiling stumbled.
"It's really okay. I, I don't look away, I just want to. If there is no expectation, there will be no sadness. That's why I can be so calm."
"I'm not afraid that you will think I'm indifferent when I say it. I just think that I should try my best to repay my parents for their upbringing. After that, I won't pay attention to everything about them. It is my responsibility to respect them, but I won't take it as a responsibility from the bottom of my heart. What you have to do to motivate yourself. So I won't be sad, and you too..."
She softened her voice, "Don't be sad, okay?"
"What's more, they are no longer my sustenance in my heart."
If she had put her parents in her heart, she would definitely feel sad and resentful because of their attitude, but it is no longer the case, they are no longer in Tao Xiling's heart.
Now there was another person at the tip of her heart.
A little girl who also loves her, is somewhat delicate and naive, but very cute.
Shi Ting sniffled and looked up at her, "Really?"
Tao Xiling nodded, "Maybe it's like... treating a scumbag?" It was rare for her to make a joke on Shi Ting.
"In my heart, they are my relatives, but they are only relatives. I don't know if you can understand that." Tao Xiling frowned slightly distressed.
Sometimes she seems to understand, "I seem to understand, but, but you are so worried about them, I feel..." So she would feel that Tao Xiling would still be sad about it.
Tao Xiling said softly, "I'm just in a hurry."
"but if……"
She endured it, but after all, she still couldn't bear the emotion in her heart.
Tao Xiling took a step forward, and when he was close, he listened and said in a low voice: "If it were you, I wouldn't just be in a hurry, and I wouldn't just be in a hurry."
The author has something to say: I said that updating on time at six o'clock is like standing fg...
I'm really not punctual. I put it in the manuscript box, but I forgot to set the publication time! ! ! (crazy)
Why do I keep making such low-level mistakes over and over again!hateful!
Hit me qwq (lay flat)
In this chapter, Shi Ting finally managed to look like a stinky sister (although I still feel kind, it's very...unable to attack)
Delicious food is expensive, and what I like to eat is also expensive...it's amazing (kimbo)
感谢在2021-08-0200:00:00~2021-08-0400:00:00期间为我投出霸王票或灌溉营养液的小天使哦~
The sound insulation of the elderly phone is actually not good, and the listening distance is very close, so she can actually hear the voice on the phone very clearly.
At the beginning, Shi Ting didn't realize that such a thing would happen, she was still thinking... "Xiao Ling" is actually Tao Xiling's mother's nickname for her, it's quite kind.
But then, she heard the following words.
Although I sometimes felt that Tao Xiling's parents were a bit patriarchal, but no matter what, they were the parents who raised Tao Xiling, took care of her food and lodging, and sent her to school.
Tao Xiling's words didn't reveal too many unqualified aspects of her parents, and she didn't have any complaints, so Shi Ting guessed that the relationship between them should be good.
After learning that her father had lost her leg, Tao Xiling must have felt very uncomfortable.
Thinking that Tao Xiling would be heartbroken by this, Shi Ting felt sorry for her.
Seeing Tao Xiling's pale face now, she pursed her lips even more.
Tao Xiling took a deep breath, and then explained to the mother on the phone: "Don't worry, Mom, have you taken Dad to the hospital yet?"
Shi Ting quietly stood aside, staring at Tao Xiling quietly.
A voice came from the other side of the phone: "Send it, your sixth uncle happened to have a car at home, so I asked him to take your dad and me to the hospital, but, but Xiao Ling, the doctor said your dad's leg fell. It’s broken, why do you need to build a steel plate? It’s going to be an operation! Oh, what can I do, for such a big thing as surgery, I, I…”
Speaking to the other side, he began to cry again.
Shi Ting turned his head to the side, his expression slightly moved.
She doesn't know much about this, but... If the situation is serious enough to put a steel plate on it, the fall may be a bit serious.
Hospitalization fees, surgery fees, follow-up treatment and prescriptions, and the cost of installing steel plates... the sum of the zeros and zeros should be very difficult for a family like Tao Xiling.
And if you want the operation to go smoothly and the follow-up recovery to be good, it is best to choose a better choice of steel plate and hospital.But in this way, all expenses may also rise accordingly.
Shi Ting hangs his eyes for a while, and starts to think about how much private money he has in his hand, and whether it is enough to give it to Tao Xiling.
In fact, Shi Ting's family is rich, and helping Tao Xiling's father with surgery is no problem, but Shi Ting doesn't want to use his parents' money for the time being.
After all, she had selfish motives in helping Tao Xiling.
Shi Ting is not a kind person who is willing to help others. The reason why she is willing to help Tao Xiling is because they were friends before. Now, Tao Xiling is someone she likes.
Because of this, Shi Ting even wanted to get the money himself.
Of course, if she didn't have enough money, she would borrow it from her parents, but it wasn't for nothing.
The only question now is...will Tao Xiling want it?
Father's injury is of course the most important thing. Tao Xiling is not a stubborn and pedantic person, so he will not be stubborn on such matters.
Shi Ting pursed her lips, raised her eyes again and looked at Tao Xiling worriedly.
Tao Xiling comforted her mother, "Mom, don't be in a hurry and don't cry. Listen to me, first ask the doctor about the operation and treatment, the cost, and whether my father has been hospitalized? Have you paid the bill? Is the money enough? I used to work as a part-time tutor and still got paid, I'll call you right away."
Mother Tao: "Your Sixth Uncle helped save the money first, and we have to pay it back. Xiaoling, can you, can you ask for leave from school? Why don't you go home for a while?"
Tao Xiling said, "Okay, don't worry, I'll book the tickets now."
Mother Tao cried for a while before hanging up the phone.
When the call was turned off, all the voices were cut off, and the environment suddenly returned to silence, but this kind of silence did not make people calm, but made them more uncomfortable.
Tao Xiling slowly put down the phone, raised his head and subconsciously looked at Shi Ting.
Her complexion has not yet recovered, and her whole state is in stark contrast to just now. With some worry and unconscious expression of helplessness, she looks at it as if she is asking for help in a daze, very similar to that It's the kind of performance that will look at the trusted person at the first time.
Shi Ting's heart ached when she saw her eyes like this, she held Tao Xiling's hand without thinking, "Don't be afraid, don't worry, I will help you, I will help you."
Shi Ting hugged Tao Xiling in his arms and reached out to pat her on the back.
This kind of thing is actually nothing to a family like Shi Ting's, and she doesn't even need to worry about it, just be a hands-off shopkeeper.But it was different for Tao Xiling.
Money is the only thorn in her way.
It's just a simple word, but the experience brought by having money and not having money is completely different. It can even be said...not having money is their biggest dilemma.
Shi Ting took a deep breath, the tip of her nose became red from the cold air, her nose was a little sore, but it was not as bad as her heart.
Shi Ting felt sorry for Tao Xiling, but was also worried about her.
She turned her head and said softly to Tao Xiling: "Don't be stupid, do you know? I know a little bit about your family's situation. If you have any difficulties, just tell me directly. Don't be stubborn, understand? I will definitely help you. I am not afraid of trouble." , I'm afraid you don't want to bother me."
She likes Tao Xiling, so she can accept everything about him, not only Tao Xiling's indulgence, tenderness and love for her, but also the so-called "trouble" brought by the other party's accident at this moment, Shi Ting can also accept it.
What she was most afraid of was that Tao Xiling would not let her help.
The whispers that Shiting heard in her ear gradually brought back Tao Xiling's thoughts. She closed her eyes, reached out and grabbed Shiting's clothes, buried her on the other's shoulder to breathe her temperature, and said in a hoarse voice: "I know, thank you."
Shi Ting patted her, "Thank you, we have such a relationship."
After the two returned, Tao Xiling quickly started booking tickets.
Shi Ting glanced at her situation, "Is there no direct high-speed rail?"
Tao Xiling raised her eyes, then shook her head lightly, "Only the train."
On weekdays, she always travels back and forth by train or bus. They don't even have a high-speed rail station, and Tao Xiling has never taken a high-speed rail.
And even if it's a train, it's not her hometown to go out after arriving at the station, and she needs to transfer to a bus or bus to go to the small town.
The delay in this is not short.
After Tao Xiling explained the situation there, Shi Ting frowned slightly, then reached out and pressed Tao Xiling's cell phone, and said to the other party, "I'll find someone to take us there."
Tao Xiling was startled, and felt a slight movement. She hesitated and asked, "But will this be too troublesome?"
Shi Ting raised his eyebrows, "It's okay, this is nothing troublesome."
Then she took out her cell phone and made a call.
The distance between city D and city A is not bad, and you should be able to get there by taking the high speed in three hours.And it saves the time of waiting in line for the bus to transfer, but it is worth it.
What's more, it's not that there are no cars and no one. Since there are better options, of course we should choose the better one.
After finishing the phone call, Shi Ting said, "Let's pack our things."
Tao Xiling pursed her lips and nodded.
When Tao Xiling saw that Tingting was also packing up her own things, she couldn't help being startled, "You...will you go with me too?"
Shi Ting nodded, "Of course, I don't trust you as a little girl running over, so going with you can be regarded as a care."
Tao Xiling pursed her lips and clenched her fingers slowly, with mixed feelings in her heart.
It was natural to be moved. After all, Shi Ting thought of her so much and helped her so much, even if the other party was just an ordinary roommate to her, Tao Xiling was still grateful to her.
But Shi Ting is not just a familiar stranger.
She is also Tao Xiling's favorite, someone who secretly swore to protect and cherish her.
Before she could protect the other party, she was protected by the other party again...
In Tao Xiling's heart, he was more ashamed, probably with some slight embarrassment of being always protected and always causing trouble.
Although sometimes she would not feel that she was troublesome, and the other party had never had negative emotions or complaints, how could Tao Xiling keep at ease and repeat it again and again.
She closed her eyes, exerted a little force on her fingers, and her fingertips turned white.
After a while, Tao Xiling took a deep breath.
"It's okay, you don't have to go with me, I can do it alone."
Shi Ting refused without even thinking about it, "This is the first time you have experienced such a thing, how can you do it? One more person will take care of you. And don't worry, after your father is successfully hospitalized and made an appointment for surgery, I will take care of you." I'm back, I won't stay any longer."
Tao Xiling's eyelashes trembled, "I listen..."
Shi Ting looked up at her, and then directly blocked her words, "Hurry up and clean up, we will go to the counselor to ask for leave later. Be good, don't think too much, I'm the one who's fine."
Tao Xiling closed her eyes, and then came to Shi Ting, pulled the other party in Shi Ting's puzzled eyes, pulled her into his arms and hugged her.
With the palm of his hand extremely restrained, he pressed down on Shi Ting's lower back.
Afterwards, she let go of Shi Ting, and then packed her things.
Shi Ting blinked and touched his waist.
I don't know why, just now she always had the illusion that... Tao Xiling also had hot feelings for her.
But the illusion should be just an illusion, Shi Ting didn't think much about it, and quickly put this matter behind him.
After the two of them packed up their things, they went to ask for leave for their counselors. Shi Ting asked for two days off first, and it was easier for her to ask for leave. For such requests or requests, the counselors basically opened their eyes. Turn a blind eye and give them maximum accommodation.
After all... just, all of them, heck, come in through the back door, and they are still affiliated departments, and the counselors generally don't feel uncomfortable.
But Tao Xiling might have some troubles.
One is because of their counselor himself, and the other is that Tao Xiling may not be able to return for a few days.
When can I have surgery?How long will it take to recuperate after surgery?How long will Tao Xiling take care of her as a daughter?These are currently unknown.
When she heard it, she found that Tao Xiling hadn't asked for leave yet, so she quietly asked for permission and entered the office to intercede for Tao Xiling.
In the end, the counselor still gave a conservative answer, asking Tao Xiling to ask for five days off first, and if her father's condition is not well by then, she will make up a new leave slip.
Shi Ting said at the time that she could come and help Tao Xiling make up the leave slip.
Tao Xiling's eyebrows and eyes twitched slightly, and the fingers hanging below moved, and reached out to touch Shi Ting's arm.
The warm touch flashed by, but it was enough.
Tao Xiling closed her eyes, relying on that touch to comfort herself.
After asking for leave, the two of them set off directly by car.
After sitting in the back seat, Shi Ting took a look at Tao Xiling. The other person's face hadn't recovered until this time. She looked sideways at the scenery flashing by outside the window, her face was still a little pale, she looked like a fragile Like a crystal doll.
Shi Ting pursed her lips, reached over and pulled Tao Xiling's coat.
Tao Xiling turned her head and forced a smile on Shi Ting.
When I heard it, I felt strange and uncomfortable.
She said to Tao Xiling: "Don't worry, everything will be fine in the hospital. I, I have never broken a leg, but I seem to have heard that as long as the operation is done and the injury is recovered quietly, it will be good for you. It's the same as before, don't be afraid."
Tao Xiling's brows and eyes had a soft smile of unknown meaning, "Yeah."
Shi Ting said: "There is still a while, do you want to lie down and squint for a while? Otherwise, I'm afraid you won't be able to have a good rest there."
Tao Xiling shook her head lightly, "No, I... can't sleep."
Of course Shi Ting knew that something happened to her family and Tao Xiling was worried, but she felt that at night, if Tao Xiling had to accompany her to take care of her, she would not be able to sleep well, and Tao Xiling's complexion was so bad that Shi Ting was really worried.
There was worry in her eyes, "But you may not be able to sleep even more when you arrive at the hospital. If you really can't, you can just close your eyes and rest for a while..."
Tao Xiling couldn't resist her, so he curled the corners of his lips lightly, and then closed his eyes as she said.
Tao Xiling slowly leaned his head on the back of the chair, feeling all kinds of emotions in his heart, but he couldn't tell what he was thinking.
Her mind was in a mess at the moment.
Tao Xiling knew she had to calm down, but she couldn't.
She thought that she had grown up and had enough ability to take care of everything on her own, but it was only at this moment that Tao Xiling realized that it was not enough, far from enough.
She still needs to grow up.
The car suddenly bumped.
Tao Xiling's figure was crooked, and then leaned towards Shi Ting's side.
When he caught a glimpse of this situation from the corner of his eye, his original fiddle with the phone stopped suddenly, and he looked sideways at Tao Xiling's situation.
With a little nervousness and unexplainable expectation, she sat stiffly on the spot, straightened her back, and dared not move immediately.
Then, Tao Xiling put a pillow on her shoulder.
Shi Ting blinked frantically, and almost wanted to go to the playground for two laps.But she was still concerned about the current situation, afraid that she would disturb Tao Xiling, so she didn't move anything.
Tao Xiling was not asleep.In fact, she was awake and rational just now, but Tao Xiling was too tired and didn't want to open her eyes.
What's more... If she doesn't open her eyes, she can pretend that she is asleep.
No matter what a sleeping person does, it is justifiable.
With such despicable thoughts, Tao Xiling didn't care about the tilt of his body, and even controlled the direction of the tilt, so that he would listen to the side when he fell.
She closed her eyes, but she was actually very awake.But at this moment, she can only pretend to be in a daze to cover up her little inhuman thoughts.
Tao Xiling knew that it was not good for her to do so, but she continued to do "wrong things" while feeling guilty and self-conscious.
When he really leaned against Shi Ting's shoulder, Tao Xiling felt as if his heart was also leaning against him, and with a slight relief, he relaxed.
Her eyelashes trembled, and when she smelled the fresh fragrance from the clothes, her eyes felt a little hot.
She can only use this method to listen when she gets close.
After waiting for a minute or two, seeing that Tao Xiling hadn't woken up, he slowly relaxed his body and breathed a sigh of relief.
Just... very nervous!After all, it’s the first time that someone I like leans on my shoulders qwq.
At this moment, Shi Ting is not at all afraid that her arm will be numb from the pillow, she only wants to get close to the person she likes.
And... at the moment Tao Xiling might not be feeling well, if she could lay her head on her heart and feel better, then let alone the numbness of her arm, even when her arm was broken, she would feel that she was fine.
At this time, there was no sound in the car, only the slight movement of the vehicle.
Shi Ting sits in the back, next to someone he likes.
She looked at Tao Xiling carefully, and saw the side face of the other party, and the long eyelashes.
Shi Ting paused, but he couldn't hold back after all, and cautiously stretched out his fingertips to touch Tao Xiling's cheek.
At first, Tao Xiling thought that the touch on her face was an illusion, something she imagined, but then she gradually realized that it seemed to be real.
Because the fingertips became the backs of hands, slowly and carefully sticking to her cheeks, caressing them gently, with love and distress.
Tao Xiling's heart beat heavily.
A person's words, actions, and eyes are all possible to express love.
Tao Xiling wasn't sure if it was because she was thinking too much that caused her feeling to be out of balance, but now that she was lying here with her eyes closed, when she felt Shi Ting's movements, Tao Xiling always had the illusion that the other party liked her too.
It seems that it is not her unrequited love and secret love.
It seemed that Shi Ting also had the same idea as her.
Tao Xiling pinched gently with the fingers hidden in his sleeves, and even his breathing changed.
Will it be so?Or is it all just her own delusion.
At the end of the three-hour drive, they got off at a hospital in the county seat of City D.
Shi Ting helped Tao Xiling take out the suitcase, a little unsure whether she should follow, although she really wanted to help, but anyway, she was an outsider, would it be inappropriate.
Fortunately, Tao Xiling looked back, "Do you... want a piece?"
Tao Xiling also hesitated when asking questions, because she was afraid that her question would confuse Shi Ting, and even more afraid that the other party would find it troublesome, but on the other hand, Tao Xiling felt that Shi Ting might need her to ask.
Shi Shi nodded immediately when he heard the words, "I'll go with you to have a look."
Because she had already made up her mind that she would stay here for a day or two no matter what, Shi Ting told the driver: "You go back first, I might want to live here."
The driver nodded, "Then be careful, call me when you go back."
Shi Ting nodded, "Thanks for your hard work."
The hospital in the small county is not big, but there are many people coming and going, Shi Ting was afraid of getting separated from Tao Xiling, so he held Tao Xiling's hand.
And Tao Xiling called to confirm the location of the hospital bed.
Shi Ting looked at the people coming and going in the hall, smelling the smell of disinfectant on the tip of her nose... To be honest, she didn't like it very much.
But no one likes hospitals.
Except for the birth of a newborn, it is better not to come to the hospital if you can not come to the hospital.Because once it comes, it means sick.
Tao Xiling led Shi Ting away to the ward, she said softly, "Do you feel uncomfortable? If not, you go outside and wait for me first?"
Shi Ting hurriedly said: "No, no, how come." She is not a real little fairy, how could she not be able to adapt to these things.
Hearing this, Tao Xiling slightly bent the corners of her lips, and shook Shi Ting's hand.
After driving all the way, her emotions have been digested a lot, and now she is not as fragile and sad as before.
The two stopped outside the ward.
Shi Ting felt a little confused at this moment, she whispered: "You go in, I, I will sit outside and wait for you."
Tao Xiling didn't struggle or insist, she nodded, "Okay."
After seeing Tao Xiling walk in, Shi Ting sat next to him.
But she didn't stop while sitting, still paying attention to the movement in the ward. After a while, Shi Ting changed her seat, just in time to see the situation in the ward with the door open.
The ward here is a three-person room, and Tao Xiling's father happened to be in the innermost one. From time to time, they could see their situation from here, but they didn't notice it.
There was a woman and a man in front of the hospital bed, probably Tao Xiling's mother and the sixth uncle who sent them here.
Tao Xiling's mother already had a lot of gray hair in her hair, she looked a little tired and old, but she didn't feel weak.
Because there are few people in the room, the voice is not noisy, so they can just hear their voices when they talk.
Mother Tao said, "Little Ling, you're here."
Tao Xiling sat down next to him and looked at his father's condition worriedly, "How is it? What did the doctor say?"
Mother Tao rubbed her tears, "I don't quite understand it, but I guess it's going to be an operation, and I don't understand it, but it sounds like it's painful, and it costs money, my little one." Ling, you, what do you think we should do about this, how can our family have so much money?"
Tao Xiling asked softly, "How much is the total cost, and how much is the difference?"
Mother Tao said, "I didn't ask the specifics, I'm too confused..."
Uncle Liu said: "I asked before, and the operation is not too expensive, it costs several thousand yuan, but the cost of the steel plate and the follow-up medication need to be paid separately, and there is also the hospitalization fee, which is also calculated separately. .”
Mother Tao: "That's right, your sixth uncle paid for the emergency room and hospital expenses today."
Tao Xiling said conveniently, "I'll give it to Sixth Uncle later."
"Don't be in a hurry, Xiaoling, you have to help your mother when you come here, she doesn't understand anything, you have to take care of it."
Tao Xiling nodded, "Don't worry, Sixth Uncle."
Uncle Six didn't stay here any longer and left after a while.
When I heard him coming out of the ward, I quickly pulled a suitcase and put it in front of me to block my guilty conscience.Although...she didn't know why she felt guilty.
From what he just heard, Shi Ting reckoned that Tao Xiling's father's situation shouldn't be very serious, but since this was the first time their family had encountered such an incident, and it was the mainstay of the accident, only Tao Xiling's mother was left. I don't know much, so there is a lot of panic.
But as long as you find a good hospital and keep up with the money, it shouldn't be a big problem.
Shi Ting did the calculations in his mind, then took out his phone and looked at his savings, it should be enough.
Tao Xiling took a glass of water for her mother, "I'll ask the doctor later, Mom, you should rest first."
Mother Tao took the water, "Hey... what to do, your father is down, how can this family live."
Tao Xiling comforted her softly: "Don't worry, I'll find a solution."
Mother Tao paused for a while, and suddenly remembered something, "By the way, I heard from your sixth uncle that we have a new rural cooperative medical system, which seems to be able to reimburse medical expenses? Mom doesn't understand this, so you can ask about it when the time comes." , can save a little bit."
Tao Xiling responded.
Sitting outside, Shi Ting also heard this. She thought about it, and wanted to take out her mobile phone to ask about it, but then she felt that her IQ, what if she couldn't do it?Anyway, she should be able to contact someone at home, so she can directly find someone to help with it.
It's just... to ask my parents for help.
But this is much lower than the difficulty of asking for money.
Holding the phone, Shi Ting silently apologized in her heart, and then sent a WeChat message to ask her mother.
While replying to the message, she paid attention to the movement inside.
Tao Xiling asked, "Where's Xiao Fei?"
Mother Tao: "Ah, he's still in school. Mom was afraid it would delay his studies, so she didn't ask him to come over. Besides, he, a high school kid, can't help much. If he comes, he'll add to the trouble."
Tao Xiling twitched the corners of his lips noncommittally, there was a trace of tiredness in his brows and eyes, and he didn't say anything else.
But Shi Ting was very angry when she heard this outside. At that moment, she even suspected that she had heard it wrong.
What is the reason? ? ?
Xiao Fei, he should be Tao Xiling's younger brother. He also goes to school and asks for leave. Why does the younger brother delay his studies, but not the older sister?Besides, Tao Xiling must have rushed over from City A. Isn't her hard work not worth mentioning?
Of course, maybe Tao Xiling's younger brother was in the critical moment of senior year of high school, maybe Tao Xiling was relatively relaxed when he was in freshman year, but when he was protecting the calf, it seemed that even this was not enough. Isn't this a blatant partiality?
And as a boy, can't you run errands?No matter how steady and mature Tao Xiling was, she was still a girl in school, so how could she be so good?
Sometimes I can't bear to hear this.
She couldn't stand others favoring others and ignoring Tao Xiling, and even wanted Tao Xiling to pay for it.
But now it was Tao Xiling's mother who did this, even if Shi Ting was angry again, there was nothing she could do.So she had no choice but to bite her lower lip, angry with herself.
After a while, Tao Xiling came out of the ward.
Shi Ting quickly stood up and greeted her.
Facing Shi Ting, Tao Xiling smiled lightly at the other party, "It's been a long wait, I'll take you out for something to eat."
Shi Ting shook her head, "It's okay, I'm not hungry." She looked at Tao Xiling with some worry, and hesitated to speak.
Tao Xiling said: "It's nothing serious, I'll ask the doctor later." These were the words that Tao Xiling heard to comfort her before, and now they are used by the other party to comfort her.
But that's not what Shi Ting was worried about, but now she couldn't ask what she was worried about... because Shi Ting didn't want to make Tao Xiling sad again.
Even if Tao Xiling didn't show it on the surface.But being treated with such partiality would make anyone feel uncomfortable.
So Shi Ting changed the subject, "By the way, what about medical expenses and surgery expenses?"
Tao Xiling talked about the new rural cooperative medical system.But these are also the first encounters for her. She has been immersed in her studies before, and she didn't care about these.
In fact, Tao Xiling also regretted it a little. If she could care more about these things, she wouldn't be blinded now.
"It's okay, I'll go to more places to ask. Even if you don't understand, just ask more."
Shi Ting walked out with her, and said quietly: "Actually, there are people on my side who have been in contact with the new rural cooperative medical system before. If you don't mind, I will call that uncle to help you go through the formalities? This can also quickly Some."
Tao Xiling raised her eyes and looked over, the emotions in her eyes fluctuated slightly, "Really? Would it be...would it be too troublesome?"
Shi Ting quickly shook his head, "No! He is an acquaintance with our family."
Tao Xiling's eyelashes moved.
In fact, she knows that even acquaintances need favors, but at this moment she has no other choice, after all, she really needs this help.
Tao Xiling pinched his palm and said in a low voice, "Thank you."
Shi Ting quickly shook his head.
When the two of them went out to buy food, Tao Xiling was still a little absent-minded. She couldn't tell whether she was worried about her father's condition or because of what happened in the ward today.
Sometimes I want to ask, but I am afraid that this will touch on Tao Xiling's sad things, but hold back...
Well, she admitted that she felt a little uncomfortable because she couldn't bear Tao Xiling being bullied like this.
Shi Ting said, "You said before that you have a younger brother?"
Tao Xiling came back to her senses and nodded, "Two years younger than me, and I'm a sophomore in high school now."
Shi Ting nodded, and after a while quietly said: "You are two years younger than you, so he is an adult...why doesn't he come here?"
Tao Xiling paused for a moment, then raised her eyes to look at Shi Ting.
When he listened, he froze, almost thinking that his mind had been discovered.
But in fact, she is not afraid of her partiality and resentment being discovered by Tao Xiling, she is just a little guilty that what she "overhears" will be known by Tao Xiling.
But before she could hear anything, Tao Xiling looked away again, her voice was very calm, without showing any other emotions.
"Well, he's busy with his studies and can't make it."
Shi Ting: ...
Damn, she is still so angry when she hears this again! !
So she puffed her cheeks and couldn't help but said, "Then aren't you busy with your studies? Why do you have to take so many days off to work as a nurse?"
She knew that she shouldn't radiate such emotions to Tao Xiling again, but Shi Ting couldn't help it.
She was like a wounded and suffering cub, impatient and impatient, as if only through this method could she relieve her pain.
Tao Xiling didn't seem to expect that Shi Ting would say such a thing, and couldn't help but froze.
"I..." She pursed her lips, looked away, and answered after a while: "It's still different after all."
However, what is different, she did not say.
Shi Ting looked at her, and some didn't know whether to continue talking.
She lowered her head sadly.
Seeing her in such a state, Tao Xiling softened her heart.
She knew that Shi Ting was wronged and wronged for herself, but Tao Xiling no longer had such emotions, and was replaced by calmness and indifference.
But no matter what, seeing Shi Ting defending herself like this made her very happy.
Tao Xiling's eyelids moved, and he could clearly feel his heart beating again and again.
She paused, then said, "I'm not upset or sad about it either, so it's okay."
So you don't need to be sad.
But Shi Ting was not comforted.
In her opinion, Tao Xiling is so good, why should he be wronged like this.And... Shi Ting thought of Tao Xiling's mother who wanted to save money to buy a house for Tao Xiling's younger brother but refused to build a house for Tao Xiling.
So this feeling is more serious.
For some reason, she suddenly felt that her nose was blocked.
The more Shi Ting thought about it, the more wronged she became. This was the first time she was wronged like this, and it was also the first time she felt wronged for someone else.
So Shi Ting simply stopped.
"But I will feel sad." There was a little hoarseness and crying in her voice.
Tao Xiling's eyes widened suddenly, not because of her words to defend herself, but because of her current state.
Tao Xiling, who was originally calm and calm, became a little flustered at the moment. She reached out her hand subconsciously, but stopped in the middle.
"You..." Tao Xiling stumbled.
"It's really okay. I, I don't look away, I just want to. If there is no expectation, there will be no sadness. That's why I can be so calm."
"I'm not afraid that you will think I'm indifferent when I say it. I just think that I should try my best to repay my parents for their upbringing. After that, I won't pay attention to everything about them. It is my responsibility to respect them, but I won't take it as a responsibility from the bottom of my heart. What you have to do to motivate yourself. So I won't be sad, and you too..."
She softened her voice, "Don't be sad, okay?"
"What's more, they are no longer my sustenance in my heart."
If she had put her parents in her heart, she would definitely feel sad and resentful because of their attitude, but it is no longer the case, they are no longer in Tao Xiling's heart.
Now there was another person at the tip of her heart.
A little girl who also loves her, is somewhat delicate and naive, but very cute.
Shi Ting sniffled and looked up at her, "Really?"
Tao Xiling nodded, "Maybe it's like... treating a scumbag?" It was rare for her to make a joke on Shi Ting.
"In my heart, they are my relatives, but they are only relatives. I don't know if you can understand that." Tao Xiling frowned slightly distressed.
Sometimes she seems to understand, "I seem to understand, but, but you are so worried about them, I feel..." So she would feel that Tao Xiling would still be sad about it.
Tao Xiling said softly, "I'm just in a hurry."
"but if……"
She endured it, but after all, she still couldn't bear the emotion in her heart.
Tao Xiling took a step forward, and when he was close, he listened and said in a low voice: "If it were you, I wouldn't just be in a hurry, and I wouldn't just be in a hurry."
The author has something to say: I said that updating on time at six o'clock is like standing fg...
I'm really not punctual. I put it in the manuscript box, but I forgot to set the publication time! ! ! (crazy)
Why do I keep making such low-level mistakes over and over again!hateful!
Hit me qwq (lay flat)
In this chapter, Shi Ting finally managed to look like a stinky sister (although I still feel kind, it's very...unable to attack)
Delicious food is expensive, and what I like to eat is also expensive...it's amazing (kimbo)
