Dudu's Diary - Chapter 8: Meeting

CHAPTER 8

Yu Shanshan was taken to the hospital. The doctor diagnosed the fracture in her right leg and said she could not walk normally for a while.

Yu Shanshan simply wanted to cry. What kind of bad luck is this? Why did she have to take part in a kindergarten activity to end up with half a disability?

Dudu watched helplessly as his mother's leg was covered with a white stone by the Doctor-shushu then Nurse-jiejie also gave his mother an injection. His eyes suddenly turned red.

He knew about injections. He would get them whenever he was sick, but he wouldn't get them for a while afterwards -- but his mother was given injections for a long time, and the needle was left stuck in her hands.

Mother must have been seriously ill to get the needle for such a long time.


Dudu felt extremely scared. Will his mother die?

When the little guy thought about this, he couldn't help crying, he ran to the hospital bed, took Yu Shanshan's hand and sobbed: "Mom, are you dying? Whoo-hoo. Mom, don't die. "

Yu Shanshan: "......."

This unlucky child!

Though it was too sad to see him. Yu Shanshan could not dispute with him either. She took off his little hand that kept wiping away his tears, then wiped him clean with a clean paper towel. Only then did he comfort him: "Don't cry, Mom won't die, it's just that mom's leg is broken and she can't walk for the time being."

Dudu was dumbfounded when he heard this. Then he looked at his mother stupidly and then at her legs. It seemed that he was digesting the fact and gradually stopped crying.

Yu Shanshan thought he finally understood, but then this little guy suddenly cried "Wow!" again..

"Mom, are you going to become a cripple? Am I going to drag you in the streets to beg from now on?"

Yu Shanshan: "......."

People in the same ward: "......."

"Pfffft!" All of a sudden, a laughter escaped and broke the silence in the air caused by the little guy's words, which was followed by a barrage of laughter from everyone.

The patients in the next bed and their families are going crazy laughing.

When the laughter was almost over, the man lying in the sickbed smiled and said to Shanshan, "Your son is really so funny! This little guy is really funny." The man's family nodded approvingly, and kept saying it was too funny.

Yu Shanshan could only smile politely and sincerely and acquiesced to their words. In fact, she didn't feel funny at all. She just wanted to give the bad fat man a good spanking.

Why is she's immediately either dead or disabled in this bad fat man's heart? Can't the options be at little better?

Finally, after a good explanation, the little guy finally understood that his mother's not going to die nor be lame, not to mention begging on the street. Her legs would be fine in a few months.

At last, the little fellow was greatly relieved. The tears will never fall again.

Knowing that his mother is all right, Dudu can finally take care of his stomach. His small belly is almost starving.

He had been running and jumping since he had breakfast and then they've spent so much time in the hospital. The food he ate in this morning had already been digested, not to mention that Dudu's still a child. Even Yu Shan was so hungry that her chest was glued to her back.

Although Yu Shanshan can't move her right leg, it's not that she can't go anywhere either. So she requested for a wheelchair from the nurse after the drip. After sitting on it, she took Dudu downstairs to look for food.

Yu Shanshan pushed the wheelchair with one hand and walked with Dudu in the other. Mother and son had just walked not far from the elevator when they saw the elevator door slowly closing.

As soon as Dudu saw the scene, he immediately let go of Shanshan's hand. His small short legs swung back and forth quickly. He ran to the elevator and cried out "Elevator, please wait for us!"

Perhaps the cry of the little fellow had an effect. The elevator that had already been shut down opened again in the next second. There were three people inside. At this time, all three were looking at the little fellow and smiling. Probably they've never seen a child as big as Dudu rushing to an elevator. It's very interesting.

The little guy saw the elevator open, he happily made a YES! gesture, and then hurried back to pick up his mother, who was too slow. He pulled the wheelchair in the direction of the elevator with full riveting and tugging. Yu Shanshan can't stop it even if she wants to.

Don't say that this little guy is not full of meat for nothing. He is quite strong. The little one actually dragged the wheelchair into the elevator.

After entering the elevator, the little fellow immediately bent down and bowed to the people in the elevator with his hands together to express his thanks, "Thank you uncle and aunt for waiting for me and my mother."

Everyone was amused by the little guy's solemn but extraordinarily cute appearance. They all said you're welcome.

After saying thank you, Dudu stood next to the wheelchair. He held his mother's hand and had a serious discussion with with her about what to eat later.

Ji Xian, who was also in the elevator, didn't expect such a coincidence of seeing this cute little guy again so soon. He's getting more and more fond of this lively and lovely little boy in his heart. It would be nice if his family are as lively as this little guy.

His daughters were spoiled by the old members of the family, hence, they were very pampered. They are very coquettish, and they usually have to be carried by the adults when faced with more walking in the streets, let alone expect them to ride the elevator like this little guy and drag their mother to the elevator.

Ah, I still need to train my daughters more in the future.

Ji Xian got off the elevator at the surgery department while still admiring. He headed for the specialist consultation room. Seeing that the door had not been opened yet, he waited outside for a while. After about 20 minutes, the door was opened from the inside and Yuan Long came out.

Ji Xian hurried up and asked, "How is the recovery going? What did the experts say?"

Yuan Long nodded and said faintly, "It's all right, don't worry."

What 'Don't worry'? The bullet narrowly missed his heart! This man is made of iron. He dares to walk around only a month after a serious injury, but on the surface, he is just like a normal person.

He is indeed the king of soldiers.

Incomparable, incomparable.

Knowing he'll just respond he's OK even if he asked further, Ji Xian stopped asking and instead began to talk about the recent funny things he saw. "I'm telling you, what a coincidence, I met that little boy again in the elevator. That is, the little boy I told you was very funny outside the dance training room last time. Do you remember?"

Somehow, Yuan Long remembered the child the first time, and the corners of his mouth smiled unconsciously.

When he saw that he remembered, Ji Xian continued: "I just came down from the upstairs inpatient department and stopped on one of the floors. Originally, the elevator was about to close, but the little guy shouted all the way outside the elevator for the elevator to wait for him. I pressed the elevator again, and the child immediately pulled his mother's wheelchair in. Oh, That strength was not built. His mother was also so heavy but she was easily pulled in by this little turnip head. "

Ji Xian laughed again, and imitated the way the little guy bowed his hands and said: "What's more interesting is that the little fellow bowed his hands to thank us as soon as he entered the elevator. It really softens people's hearts. I don't think this little guy will be an ordinary person. He's a kid with a bright future! "

Yuan Long immediately thought of a tiger-headed child thanking adults and his heart could not help but soften. He suddenly wanted to see the little guy and see him for himself.

Must be cute.

As they spoke, the two men went out of the gate on the first floor. A garden for patients to walk around is right outside the main gate of the hospital. Their car was parked in the parking space outside as well.

Ji Xian's eyes now inadvertently swept the surrounding environment and saw a familiar figure sitting near the flower bed.

This is the cute little guy's mother!

It seems that the mother and son took a stroll in the garden after the meal, and the little boy must have went to play elsewhere.

Ji Xian pointed his chin at the place where Yu Shanshan is, and said to Yuan Long beside him, "Look at the woman in the wheelchair over there, the very fat one. That's the little boy's mother I just told you about. His mother weighs a lot right? But the little one still managed to dragged her. You can't really say he doesn't have a lot of strength"

Yuan Long looked in the direction he was pointing. Sure enough, he saw a woman in a wheelchair bowing her head and playing with her mobile phone.

Just then, the other party suddenly raised her head, as if she was looking for something, and suddenly looked their way.

The eyes of the two met in the air.

The moment he saw the woman's face clearly, Yuan Long's eyes shrank. The sight that was originally intended to be retracted froze instantly.

And Yu Shanshan's mind also went blank at this moment.

******

Perhaps the expressions of the two men were not quite right, or perhaps the they looked at each other a bit too long. Ji Xian now felt something's wrong and patted Yuan Long on the shoulder. "What's wrong with you? Do you know her?"

At Ji Xian's touch, Yuan Long's eyes finally moved. Not far away, Yu Shanshan's not waiting for him to say anything else and quickly turned the wheelchair, she skidded it and ran away without knowing where to go.

Yuan Long's hand hanging on his side unconsciously clasped and his thin lips pursed.

Ji Xian found it more and more strange and asked "Do you really know the little boy's mother? Why didn't I know you knew this person?"

Yuan Long did not answer, but asked in a low voice, "She...has a son?"

Ji Xian nodded. "Yes, I already told you about the funny little boy, and just now that was the little boy's mother. What's the matter? Is there a problem?"

Yuan Long's lips moved, but he did not say anything after all. He turned around and said faintly "Come on, let's go back."

Ji Xian feels like a three-meter high monk whose head you can't rub. However, his affairs with Yuan Long usually only involve military secrets. So since it's not easy for him to ask further, he stopped asking and followed him towards the hospital.

It was just as the two men turned to leave until they were out of sight, that Yu Shanshan, who was hiding behind a thick pillar, finally dared to move. Only after this movement did she realized that her whole body was numb from being motionless for a long time, and now her whole body was aching like she's undergoing acupuncture.

She would have cried loudly in the past, But at the moment, she feels no pain, and her whole mind is on the man who is now far away.

What's he doing here? When did he come back? Why did he come here?

Yu Shanshan's mind was full of paste, and her mood was so complicated that she couldn't describe it for sure.

She didn't know whether she was panicking or excited or happy or even a little scared. But the only thing that was certain was that she didn't want to see him.

She didn't want him to see her like this at all, not at all!
