Chapter 57: Critical Hit Every Time

Chen Lu silently hung up the phone and looked up at the two girls chatting on the bed.

Liang Zhirou still had no appetite after her IV drip, she only ate some crackers.

Lin Miaomiao was different, she was munching on a bag of potato chips.

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll go now. I’ll come back tomorrow during the day.” Chen Lu stood up from the companion bed and said softly.

“Go, go, go, don’t disturb my and Zhirou’s world for two.” Lin Miaomiao raised her chin, looking quite proud.

Halfway through, she looked at Chen Lu again, her eyes blinking, a little curious, “Why do you look unhappy?”

“Adult matters, kids mind your own business.”

“Cut it out.”

Chen Lu walked to Liang Zhirou and poked her forehead, “Eat something later.”

Seeing the girl nod, he also smiled lightly.

At this time, an extremely 2-dimensional ringtone suddenly rang.

“se-no~”

Chen Lu looked at Lin Miaomiao with disgust, while the latter answered the phone with a calm expression.

“Hello, Mom. What’s up?”

“…”

“Yeah, I’m at school.”

“…”

“What are you saying? You and Dad are here? What are you two doing here?”

Lin Miaomiao was stunned, her mouth not closing for a long time.

Although it was unclear what was being said on the phone, from Lin Miaomiao’s words and expressions, one could guess roughly.

“Why don’t you guys find a hotel to stay for a night? I’ll go out and find you tomorrow during the day, I have something to do…”

“I’m not staying in a hotel with a boy!!”

“You’re leaving tomorrow? Okay, I’ll go over…”

After Lin Miaomiao hung up the phone, she sighed deeply.

She looked up at Chen Lu and Liang Zhirou, dejectedly saying, “My parents came to see me, I can’t go back, they’ll suspect I’m staying in a hotel with a boy.”

“Why did your parents run so far to school to see you? A surprise inspection?” Chen Lu didn’t bother to understand the situation, he first complained.

“What, didn’t I say? My body isn’t feeling well, they probably are worried about me.”

“What’s wrong with you?”

“Go away!”

She cursed at Chen Lu angrily, hugging Liang Zhirou, “I’m sorry, I really didn’t expect it.”

Then she turned her face to look at Chen Lu.

“Zhirou, you must protect yourself. No matter what he says, don’t fall for it, you know? If it doesn’t work, just call the doctor!”

??

Why are you looking at me?

I’m a gentleman, okay?

Before asking if I’m willing to stay here, you’re already guarding against me, is that polite?

Chen Lu’s face was expressionless, speechless in his heart.

Lin Miaomiao suddenly grinned again, showing her canine teeth, “Just kidding, the organization trusts you, you’re in charge tonight.”

Liang Zhirou looked at her and him alternately, completely confused about how these two suddenly completed the handover.

Then she thought about the fact that she had to stay in the ward with Chen Lu all night, and she nervously lowered her head.

This favor is never going to be repaid…

What should I do…

Lin Miaomiao left a big bag of snacks she bought for Chen Lu, and after dawdling for a while, she hurriedly left under the urging of her mother’s second call.

“I’ll say it again! I’m not staying in a hotel with a boy!”

As the door to the ward closed heavily, the room became quiet again.

Chen Lu only now fully realized that he was going to stay here to take care of Liang Zhirou.

Late at night, a man and a woman alone in a room…

So exciting.

Seeing Liang Zhirou nervously lowering her head and pinching her hands, Chen Lu said softly, “Don’t be nervous, I’m a gentleman.”

The girl nodded slightly, “I believe you.”

“But I’m not as easy-going as Lin Miaomiao, if you fall into my hands, don’t think about resisting.”

I don’t know if this silly girl knows that this makes her even more tempting to bully.

She writes the words ‘I’m so stupid, come and deceive me’ on her face every day, it’s worrying.

Looking at Liang Zhirou’s timid appearance, Chen Lu secretly complained in his heart.

“I, I know.” Liang Zhirou replied obediently.

After a while, just as Chen Lu told his roommates that he wouldn’t be back tonight.

“Chen Lu…”

Liang Zhirou called out softly.

Chen Lu looked up and saw the girl’s slightly haggard face, “What’s wrong?”

The girl hesitated for a moment, finally mustering up her courage, “Can we go back?”

“I… I don’t want to stay in the hospital.”

Chen Lu found it strange, it couldn’t be that she didn’t want to stay with him, and she only said it now.

It shouldn’t be, not to say how confident he was in himself, but he dared to say that Liang Zhirou didn’t dislike staying with him.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have fallen asleep so quickly at the pavilion.

He asked curiously, “Why?”

Liang Zhirou lowered her head, her hands tightly clutching the white blanket, and after a long time, she finally spoke, “I hate this place.”

She had never heard any good news in this place, about her father, her mother, none of it.

The red and white lights in the hospital were so dazzling, the IV drips on top of too many people were like timers, ticking one by one, as if counting down the lives of everyone wearing hospital gowns.

Every time she sensed the smell of disinfectant in the air, it would remind her of her mother, who was helpless and asking for directions everywhere, and herself, who couldn’t help at all.

And her father’s helpless sigh…

Mom could still walk back then…

At this point, Chen Lu naturally understood what Liang Zhirou meant, he slowly stretched out his right hand, intending to hold the girl’s hand, but after thinking about it, he finally stroked the girl’s head.

Feeling Liang Zhirou’s soft hair, he said softly, “Eat your meal later, then rest well, we’ll leave tomorrow.”

“We’ll leave as soon as you wake up, okay?”

Liang Zhirou didn’t resist Chen Lu’s actions, she let him stroke her like a kitten, it made her feel more at ease.

“Okay.”

She replied heavily, her head unconsciously leaning a little towards Chen Lu.

The slow girl didn’t realize that the feelings that Chen Lu had sown in her heart with his gentleness had sprouted at this moment, sprouting new buds.

Within two minutes, the takeout arrived.

Chen Lu reluctantly withdrew his hand, opened the door and took it.

When I’m starving to death, why haven’t you delivered so quickly…

Chen Lu smiled and thanked him, secretly complaining in his heart.

I haven’t touched enough, I don’t know what’s wrong with this silly girl, her hair is so soft, and it has a clear fragrance.

Being marinated in shampoo seems to be a special ability of girls.

He held the porridge and sat next to the girl, softly saying, “Open your mouth.”

“I, I want to eat by myself.”

“No, you don’t want to. Patients just do what patients should do.”

Night deepened.

The ward was quiet both inside and outside, there was no one in the corridor, only two nurses on duty at the nurses’ station.

Chen Lu only turned on a small light, the dim light shone on him, Liang Zhirou, who was farther away, had already fallen asleep.

It was not in vain that I fed her little by little, this silly girl finally ate a lot of food after being tricked and deceived.

Chen Lu looked at the sleeping girl and smiled with satisfaction, then continued to look at his phone, laughing and laughing, the phone turned off by itself.

Damn, I came in a hurry and didn’t bring a charger…

He walked slowly to Liang Zhirou’s side, poked her cheek, and whispered:

“Lend me your phone. I’ll use your phone to find a place to rent a power bank.”

The girl hummed softly, rubbing her cheek against Chen Lu’s finger in a daze, “Okay.”

Chen Lu slowly picked up the phone, “What’s your phone password?”

“Your birthday.”
