Watching the sea from the shore

Chapter 88 They are equally brave

Zhan Ping packed her things and went to the airport the next morning. Before boarding the plane, she didn't forget to call Ni Manhua to remind her, for fear that she would stay here and not leave.

Ni Manhua gave her a few perfunctory words and looked helplessly at Lai Hongtu, who was sitting in front of the hospital bed and looking at him blankly.

Zhan Ping went out to find Lai Hongtu last night, and she didn't know what they said specifically. Lai Hongtu was acting strange until this morning.

Lu Guanhai went back last night. After all, Lai Hongtu was taking care of the patient in the ward. It would not be convenient for him to stay overnight.

Lu Guanhai came here early this morning and brought them breakfast.Just now, Lu Guanhai went to the water room to get hot water and poured a glass for Lai Hongtu from a disposable cup: "Drink some water, uncle."

Lai Hongtu waved his hand, said nothing, and just looked at the ground blankly.

Ni Manhua called him: "Uncle, uncle! What are you thinking about? It feels like you have lost your soul."

Lai Hongtu finally came to life. He patted his thigh, pointed at himself and said proudly: "Your uncle, I will be a very powerful scientist in the future."

Ni Manhua didn't know why he was convulsed, or whether calling him too loudly had irritated some of his nerves. Ni Manhua said, "You are also very powerful now."

"I'll be even more powerful in the future! You don't know... Forget it, there's no point in telling you. I'm going back to work, and I want to realize my ideals as soon as possible." Lai Hongtu stood up as he spoke, his face filled with unconcealable excitement. excited.

"Hey uncle..." Ni Manhua originally wanted to ask Lai Hongtu to have a few bites of breakfast, but after thinking about it, he changed his words: "Didn't my mother say that someone should guard me?"

Lai Hongtu pointed to Lu Guanhai: "Isn't he a human? Don't delay uncle's important events. Oh, by the way, your mother will come over to see you in a while, so I'll leave first."

Lai Hongtu patted his butt and made the decision to leave. As soon as Ni Manhua heard that his mother was coming, he subconsciously glanced at Lu Guanhai.

After Lai Hongtu left, Lu Guanhai said, "This is a hospital. Mom wouldn't want to kick me out in public."

Lu Guanhai also knew that Ni Manhua's mother was prejudiced against him in the past, but he only vaguely felt it. It was not until he came to this time and space that he realized that the recognition and acceptance in the past were just an illusion that Ni Manhua worked hard to create for him.

The truth is that Ni Manhua's mother hates him, very much.

Ni Manhua was a little embarrassed when Lu Guanhai saw through all this. She tried to comfort him: "My mother's temper only happened all of a sudden. She doesn't dislike you as much as she seems."

Lu Guanhai smiled, apparently not taking Ni Manhua's words seriously.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Ni Manhua's parents came. Lu Guanhai said hello and they nodded. Ni Manhua's father expressed his gratitude to Lu Guanhai for coming to visit.

Ni Manhua's mother looked around and couldn't find Lai Hongtu, so she asked Ni Manhua, "Where is uncle?"

"I'm back in the lab, saying I want to fight for my ideals."

"That unreliable one, who keeps nagging all day long. He promised me yesterday that he will take good care of you so I can rest assured that he ran away without a trace in just one night."

"Okay, mom, don't talk about uncle. He has such high requirements for the sleeping environment. He spent the night in the nursing bed yesterday, which is already very hard."

Ni Manhua was afraid that Lai Hongtu would be scolded, so he decided to say a few nice words to him.

Ni Manhua's mother sat down beside Ni Manhua's bed and looked at her face: "Won't there be scars? What if there are scars in the future? It's ugly to have scars on a big girl's face."

"No, beauty injections leave no trace after absorption." Ni Manhua took her mother's hand: "Are you okay during the day? Doesn't dad work?"

"Your father will go to the company later, and I will stay with you. Your uncle, who is unreliable, has left. Isn't there someone who can keep an eye on you?"

Ni Manhua hesitated, not knowing how to speak. She wanted to say that Lu Guanhai would always be here, but she was afraid of igniting her mother's anger.

Zhan Ping called again at this time. Ni Manhua picked up the call and heard a lively and excited voice coming from the receiver: "Manman! Manman, let me tell you, I am sleepwalking!"

"Sleepwalking?" As soon as Ni Manhua heard this voice, he knew that it was Xiao Zhanping who was back.Zhan Ping lowered her voice mysteriously: "I feel like I'm sleepwalking! Where do you think I am now? I'm in Beijing! I seemed to eat Beijing roast duck a few days ago, and then I booked a ticket to come here, but on the plane After falling asleep, I always have a strange feeling, I feel... I sleepwalking, because I don't remember many things a few days ago, it seems to have disappeared, but I checked the Internet, online It is said that there is a high probability that it is dementia."

Ni Manhua couldn't hold back her laughter. She said, "You are not sleepwalking or suffering from dementia. You are probably tired from playing games. You might as well go out and relax. Think less and sleep more these days."

After talking to Zhan Ping, Ni Manhua hung up the phone, and her mother asked her, "Who is it?"

"Zhan Ping."

"Zhan Ping, why didn't she come to see you?"

"She went to Beijing, Mom. I also want to go to Beijing in two days to play with her."

"Go again? Didn't you play enough when you were in school?"

"School is about to start. I'll go there early and come back during the winter vacation."

Ni Manhua's mother seems reluctant, but she has never been too strict with Ni Manhua when it comes to play. As long as Ni Manhua's playmates are approved by her, she hopes that Ni Manhua will see more of the world. .

Ni Manhua's mother and father made the only two plastic stools. Lu Guanhai has been standing since they came here. Ni Manhua was worried that he was tired and wanted to ask him to sit on the bed.

At this time, Ni Manhua's mother stood up and took a kettle from the ground to pour her some water. She struggled to lift the kettle while nagging: "Drinking more water in an air-conditioned room will help with skin recovery... ugh …”

When Ni Manhua's mother stood up, Lu Guanhai wanted to help. When she saw her lifting the kettle to almost the same height as the table, the weight of the kettle when it was tilted made her unable to control it. Her wrist sank and she almost let go. Guan Hai hurriedly went up to hold the kettle. He held the bottle with one hand and pressed the mouth of the bottle with the other hand to straighten the bottle to prevent the water from falling on Ni Manhua's hospital bed.

"Lu Guanhai!" Ni Manhua exclaimed. When she saw Lu Guanhai put the boiled water bottle back on the ground, her brows had already twisted into the Chinese character "Sichuan".Ni Manhua was about to get out of bed anxiously, forgetting that the infusion was still in her hand. Ni Manhua's mother finally reacted and pushed her back: "Don't move, the needle is bleeding."

Dad rang the nurse bell, and mom put down Ni Manhua's hand and looked at Lu Guanhai's hand: "How are you, kid? It's all red. You can't cover the mouth of the bottle with your hand. Oops, let the doctor take care of it quickly. .”

The good morning was in a state of panic. Ni Manhua and Lu Guanhai had problems one after another. Ni Manhua's father took Lu Guanhai's hand to the doctor for treatment. Ni Manhua's mother stood by the bed and looked at it. He touched the water stains on the ground, looked at Ni Manhua's restless look, and said sarcastically: "You're a bit of a classmate."

Ni Manhua didn't answer, and her mother said to herself again: "It's a bit of a trick, it's really kind to you, let it go."

Ni Manhua then answered: "Yes, I'm willing to go out of my way, but you still don't like it if I don't have the money."

When Ni Manhua's mother heard this, she lowered her head and looked at her suddenly: "I don't like him if he has no money, and even less if he has no money and doesn't hurt people. You like him, don't you? Actually, I haven't seen him before." I don't know him well, if he can be so open to you for the rest of his life, I will consider it."

Ni Manhua was a little surprised. She didn't expect her mother to change so quickly. It turned out that she was wrong from the beginning. She never let her mother understand Lu Guanhai, nor gave her mother a chance to understand Lu Guanhai. Ni Manhua She always said that she wanted to do it, but she didn't tell her mother what gave her the confidence to do it. Her mother used her own experience to do a risk assessment for her, but she didn't even prepare the assessment options.

Ni Manhua was absent-minded for a moment, and her mother stood up, looked at her and said helplessly: "I'm going back first, and I'll come see you in the afternoon. You young people won't feel comfortable seeing me together."

Ni Manhua nodded slightly. She didn't know what to say. If this was what the real 19-year-old Ni Manhua had experienced, she would definitely be very happy.

After his mother went home and his father went to work, Lu Guanhai just sat there without saying anything after treating the burn.

When Ni Manhua took Lu Guanhai's hand, she felt that Lu Guanhai was a little nervous.Ni Manhua looked at the redness and swelling on Lu Guanhai's hand. Under the new injury, there was an old injury that had become a scar and became more obvious, attracting Ni Manhua's attention.

Ni Manhua brushed the scar between her lips and asked Lu Guanhai: "Did you know? This scar was burned by the 16-year-old Lu Guanhai in this world to protect me."

At that time, Lu Guanhai in front of him had not returned yet.

When Lu Guanhai heard this, he lowered his head and looked at the scar. He seemed quite happy: "I just said why I still have an extra scar after I came back. It seems that I am quite brave at the age of 16."

Ni Manhua nodded. The 16-year-old Lu Guanhai is indeed very brave. It is not surprising that the 16-year-old Lu Guanhai is willing to protect her regardless of danger. What surprised her was that the 28-year-old Lu Guanhai would actually be with her. 16-year-old Lu Guanhai did the same thing.

After experiencing so many ups and downs, Ni Manhua didn't dare to expect him to be as sincere as when they first met.

At this time, someone walked in from outside the door and naturally came to Ni Manhua's bed: "How are you? Are you feeling better?"

Ni Manhua and Lu Guanhai both looked up and saw that it was Su Guzhi. He had his hands in his pockets and pretended to be relaxed, but his eyes could not hide the exhaustion.
