I'm afraid I'm not interested in love

Chapter 576 How lucky I am to have such a friend
Her nod made Ye Ju and Su Chengyi slightly stunned.

Neither of them had expected that she would give such a proactive response. Ye Ju had always thought that "not rejecting or resisting" was Xia Yu's most proactive behavior.

Su Chengyi was touched for a moment - it felt a bit like he had fished out a cheap sister from a den of thieves.

The kind that can be bought with a bowl of instant noodles.

This nod was like a permission. Su Chengyi paused for a moment, then stopped hesitating and closed the door.

"Click."

The sound of the door locking.

Su Chengyi walked to the bed, squatted down and picked up the crayon that had rolled to the foot of the bed.

It's grass green, and only a little bit is left. It looks a bit like the kind of chalk that teachers would discard.

But the owner obviously takes good care of it, and holds the pen very gently. Even though there is only a little bit left, the pen body shows no signs of deformation.

Su Chengyi put the crayons in the box beside the bed and looked up at Xia Yu.

In between his actions, she just blinked at him, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Is this box from you?"

Su Chengyi asked.

Ye Ju nodded and said "hmm", then sighed:
"Xia Xia is really well behaved. She uses every box of brushes so cleanly. My little cousin is like a devil. He does evil all day long."

Su Chengyi looked down at his fingers that were stained with some green and rubbed them unconsciously twice.

In fact, it’s just because there are so few things we can get, so we cherish them so much.

Although this ward is a so-called "special ward", it does not have any special privileges except that the management is extremely strict and there is no free time.

The huge room had no decorations and looked pale no matter how you looked at it.

At Xia Yu's age, he should like fancy little gadgets the most.

Su Cheng realized that Miss Chu's luxurious bedroom was filled with all kinds of beautiful things, and Xia Yu's ward might not even be as big as her dressing room.

It seems that Xia Yu’s only entertainment activity is painting.

Su Chengyi looked around. There were blank sheets of drawing paper on the desk and bedside table. Her daily activity was probably drawing - and then moving to another position to draw.

Should I say it is pure or boring?

While Su Chengyi was thinking this, Ye Ju sat down on the edge of the bed and lifted up the covering painting.

"Look what our talented little painter Xia Xia is drawing today!"

Xia Yu obviously didn't expect this man to have such a erratic mindset. He tried to stop him in a panic, but it was too late.

What she was drawing just now was a patch of mottled green, which looked messy at first glance, as if it was just a random doodle.

But when Su Chengyi glanced out the window, he knew that she was painting the camphor tree outside the window.

Under the influence of the great artist Miss Chu, Su Chengyi also appreciated many world famous paintings with her and developed a certain "artistic sensitivity".

It can be seen that Xia Yu has a very high ability to judge colors. Different from Miss Chu's hazy and dreamy style, Xia Yu's paintings are like saplings struggling to grow out of cement, with vigorous vitality that survives from desperate situations.

"What a pretty—green thing?"

Ye Ju stretched out his voice for a long time, and finally uttered this sentence.

Su Chengyi coughed and choked, snatched the painting from her hand and gently put it back where it belonged.

Xia Yu carefully picked up all the unused drawing papers on the bed, folded the rolled edges again, and put them all back into the drawer.

Judging from the amount of drawing paper, she had originally planned to curl up in bed and draw all day.

"Have you eaten yet, Xia Xia?"

Ye Ju lay on his back on the bed and asked with a smile.

She didn't feel restrained at all and felt as comfortable as if she was back home.

Xia Yu nodded and pointed to the disposable lunch boxes in the trash can.

It doesn't look very greasy, probably the most common meal set in the hospital, which includes vegetable porridge, eggs, etc.

Seeing this, Ye Ju clapped her hands and unzipped her schoolbag. The entire bulging bag was filled with gifts for Xia Yu.

She carefully placed the most easily damaged cake on the top layer, but due to the bumpy ride, it still looked a bit off.

Su Chengyi took out the cake. It had a very cute shape, with a cream and strawberry base and the words "Happy Birthday, Xiaoxia" written in rainbow jam Q-version font.

This is the cake made by Lin Zhiwan. She apologized and said that she had never learned how to make desserts, so she didn’t make it very well.

But for Sister Lin, who possesses the strongest talent as a chef, any food can be prepared with ease.

Unlike Miss Chu next door, who, despite being taught by three or four top pastry chefs, still faces a huge risk of failure every time.

Eating desserts made by Miss Chu herself is like opening a blind box, giving you a new experience every time.

But it’s different with Lin Zhiwan. Su Chengyi feels that no matter what she makes, everyone will only feel excited and expectant when eating it.

For example, at this moment, after taking out the cream strawberry cake, Ye Ju had already started drooling beside him.

"I've heard about the cooking skills of this 'Zero Bowl' lady. Let me try it, let me try it!!"

Su Chengyi raised his eyebrows when he heard this and asked:

"How do you know that Zero Bowl is her?"

"."

So Ye Ju stared at him speechlessly for a minute as if he was a fool.

"."

Su Chengyi also realized the problem belatedly.

"Lingzhiwan" is actually the homonym of "Lin Zhiwan". He just randomly came up with this ID for Sister Lin.

From this perspective, there is no difference between this and surfing with real name.

"Pretend I didn't ask."

Su Chengyi put the cake on the table beside him.

Although Xia Yu didn't move, his eyes followed the direction of the cake's movement.

After all, she is still a young girl.

Su Chengyi thought about it and said:

"This is a birthday cake made for you by your sister. She can't talk either, but she's very gentle and has great craftsmanship."

Xia Yu listened to him quietly for a while and just blinked.

"We'll eat the cake later~ Next, look at this!!"

Ye Ju took out the gifts from the schoolbag one by one according to the order in which they were stuffed.

“Ding ding ding ding~ This is the gift I bought for you, a super deluxe set of 144-color oil pastels!!!

Hey, I wanted to buy watercolors or something like that, but I think you prefer solid sticks, right? "

Ye Ju said with a smile as she showed the box of oil pastels in her hand.

Although he said this, Ye Ju knew it very well in his heart.

In fact, it is not that I prefer solid sticks, but because if watercolors stain the sheets or tablecloths, it will attract complaints from nurses. Although their complaints are casual and unintentional, and most of the time they think Xia Yu can't understand, Xia Yu not only understands, but I am afraid she will really listen carefully and feel very anxious about it.

She also put the box of watercolors into the drawer, even though she probably also liked watercolor painting.

"The next one——"

Ye Ju handed the oil pastel to Xia Yu and started to introduce the next item, but she was a little stuck because it was not what she had prepared.

"This is a gift from a brother named Xu."

Su Cheng took over the conversation after seeing this.

Yes, he mentioned this matter to his friends before coming.

So these people hit it off and decided to give Xia Yu a birthday present, even though most of them had nothing to do with this matter.

Su Chengyi mentioned that as long as the gift is thoughtful, it doesn’t have to be expensive, so I felt relieved when I opened it.

".Though I don't know why he gave you this."

After saying this, Su Chengyi paused, his tone somewhat helpless.

The gift given by Dacongming was a set of home fitness equipment, including a skipping rope, knee pads and wrist guards, an electronic sports bracelet, and a simple dumbbell.

When Ye Ju saw this thing, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

"Fuck! Who stuffed this thing into my schoolbag? I was wondering why it was so damn heavy!"

As he was talking, Ye Ju suddenly felt a dull pain in his shoulder. He immediately pretended to fall on the bed, beating his chest and stamping his feet.

"This only weighs three kilograms. Don't be so exaggerated."

Su Chengyi weighed the dumbbell and raised his hand to signal Xia Yu to take it and try it.

It turned out that the girl really lacked exercise. The wrists exposed under her nightgown were pale and thin, and looked unnaturally thin. It was very difficult for her to hold the dumbbells.

Perhaps what Dacongming gave this time is quite practical, Su Chengyi thought so and said:

"He said he knew you spent a lot of time in the ward, but you should also take some exercise and get up in the morning to embrace the sun.

Remember to open the curtains, jump rope and do some exercises in the sunshine, and lift some weights if you have time!

Happy birthday, and grow up healthily, girl! "

Su Chengyi tried his best to imitate Dacongming's passionate tone and repeated his message.

Xia Yu lowered her head and rolled twice on the bed with the dumbbells. Just when Su Chengyi thought she didn't like this gift, she suddenly smiled.

"!"

This barely perceptible smile made Su Chengyi stunned.

Sure enough, Dacongming is indeed talented in making people happy.

"Come, sister will help you put on this sports bracelet. Look, just snap it on like this. If you want to charge it, just pull it out like this! Yes, Xia Xia is really smart."

Ye Ju only demonstrated it once, and Xia Yu quickly learned how to use the sports bracelet. She looked at the lit-up dial with some curiosity, and there was a rare gleam in her eyes.

"The next one is from sister Han. She gave me... uh, is this cosmetics?"

Su Chengyi frowned and looked at the incomprehensible Korean words on the outside of the box.

“It’s skin care products!”

Ye Ju took it, took a look, and gave the answer.

"This is a very popular brand recently, and it's very expensive! I only dare to buy trial packs at the counter, and God knows how many times that sarcastic cashier rolled his eyes at me! So what!"

Thinking of what happened that day, Ye Ju curled his lips in annoyance.

“Skin care products make sense.”

Su Chengyi recalled Han Bing's words and repeated:
"Although we are naturally beautiful little girls, winter is coming and our skin will definitely be dry. You can apply it before going to bed at night. The order is essence, lotion, and cream. It's all marked for you!
Happy birthday, little sister, grow up beautifully."

After Su Chengyi finished retelling, he realized that the so-called essences, lotions, creams, etc. are actually skin care products rather than cosmetics.

I remember that when Han Bing said this, his tone was unusually gentle, but Dacongming might never be able to hear it in his lifetime.

It turns out that even Tyrannosaurus has a way of speaking softly, just not to her own Husky.

Before Xia Yu could even figure out how to use the barbell in his hand, a box of skin care products was stuffed into his hand.

After unpacking the package, I found that Han Bing had labeled each bottle.

"1" "2" "3"

She was also careful to use numbers to indicate the order of use.

Following Ye Ju's instructions, Xia Yu unscrewed the bottle cap and smelled it. When he looked up, there seemed to be some surprise in his eyes.

"Right, right? This brand of product smells really good, and it doesn't have any irritating ingredients, so little girls can use it too!"

The tone of Ye Ju's voice was a bit like that of a shopping guide who rolled her eyes at her, and Su Chengyi silently complained in his heart.

After Xia Yu sniffed them one by one, he carefully placed the bottles on the bedside table one by one in order.

"Don't be reluctant to use it. Sister Han Bing said that she will send you a new one later. It would be a waste if the old one expires before the new one arrives."

Su Chengyi said this according to Han Bing's instructions.

As expected, Xia Yu lowered his eyes feeling somewhat guilty, as if his hidden thoughts had been exposed.

As expected, girls understand girls better. Su Cheng thought, if it were him, he would definitely not consider this aspect.

"Then, this is a gift from Brother Mu."

Su Chengyi took out a rectangular object and carefully wrapped it with a layer of kraft paper.

Maybe a book or something like that?
Su Chengyi tried to figure out the style of the wood and opened the outer packaging. He was the only one who didn't have time to say anything.

I didn't expect that there was a box of Mitsubishi pencils inside, used for sketching.

"Wow, Brother Mu and I are thinking the same thing. But he is so powerful, he is from Mitsubishi!"

Ye Ju came over and couldn't help but speak.

It wasn't a surprise. Su Chengyi looked down and found a line of small words written on the kraft paper outside the box.

“Happy birthday, color is good, but no color is also a kind of color.

It’s okay, the sketch looks good too.”

The pinyin is marked on the small characters, which is very meticulous and has the style of Mu Tou.

Su Chengyi lowered his eyes and gave Mu Tou a thumbs up in his heart.

Yes, because of the weird and dark style of Xia Yu's previous sketches, Ye Ju always chose some rainbow colors that looked more positive when giving her gifts, avoiding simple sketching styles.

Perhaps Lin Tong took this into consideration and chose such a gift to tell Xia Yu "it's okay".

After Su Cheng finished reading Lin Tong's message, he looked up and saw Xia Yu holding a pencil case in a daze.

Su Chengyi suddenly felt his heart collapse.

Sometimes I feel that I am really lucky to have such a group of friends.

As the saying goes, how lucky I am to have such a friend.
