The rich and powerful: The story of the counterattack of the house girl

Chapter 22 Hospital Warmth

at night,
Ling Xi called someone to bring a folded air mattress to Lai Xiaocai's bed, and then separated it with a screen. Although she kept complaining about the poor bed, she still chose to be quiet when it was night. She stayed next to Lai Xiaocai's bed and fell asleep.

Perhaps because human beings are not nocturnal animals, they are especially afraid of the dark. No matter how strong they are during the day, they will unconsciously reveal their vulnerable side when it comes to night. When Lai Xiaocai hugged the quilt and curled up on the bed alone When she was on the right side, all the emotions that had been suppressed during the day suddenly rushed out as if they were unrestrained, making her nose sore, biting her lower lip and sobbing silently.

Covering his head with the sheets, he tried his best to suppress the sound of sobbing. He really wanted to just like this, hiding in a corner, without having to think about everything in the future. .

"Snap" once,
The desk lamp beside the bed was suddenly turned on, and in the next second, a hand suddenly tore off the sheet covering Lai Xiaocai's head.

"Crying in the hospital at night, is it because you want to act in a ghost movie?" Ling Xi's star-like eyes were instantly reflected in her blurred vision.

"You... haven't slept yet..." Lai Xiaocai quickly wiped away the tears and turned her head away.

He frowned slightly, and took out two tissues from the paper box on the bedside and handed them to her: "Listen to you crying, how can I sleep?"

"Yes...I'm sorry..." She obviously wanted to stop her tears, but her emotions were out of control.

Seeing her crying like this, Ling Xi swallowed the words she wanted to blurt out for a while, and her voice became softer: "Don't cry, the operation has just been done, be careful that the wound will open again."

Lai Xiaocai nodded, wiped away her tears with a tissue, covered half of her face with the sheet, and continued to curl up on the bed like a wounded kitten, but she didn't dare to continue to look at him.

Ling Xi sighed helplessly, then got up and dragged the screen next to the bed to the wall, and moved the air mattress she was sleeping on to the side of Lai Xiaocai's bed, and then lay on her back, in the position It was almost so close that Lai Xiaocai happened to be able to touch him as soon as he raised his head and reached out.

"Put your hands here." Ling Xi said to her suddenly.

"Huh?" Lai Xiaocai was stunned for a while.

Seeing how dull she was, he simply stretched out his hand to hold her right hand tightly, met her astonished gaze, and smiled half mischievously: "That's OK." After speaking, he stretched out his hand and turned off the desk lamp. Lose.

In an instant, the room was plunged into darkness again, but what was different from before was that Lai Xiaocai could clearly feel the warm temperature coming from his palm, the even force, the undulating breathing, It was so reassuring, as if I suddenly discovered that I was not alone in the darkness at this moment.

This feeling is somewhat familiar. .It was warm again. .Just like that person. .

"I used to be afraid of the dark when I was alone at home when I was a child..." In the darkness, his gentle voice came from the side, as approachable as if he was telling a story to Lai Xiaocai.

It's rare for a boy to be willing to speak out about his vulnerable side, so she asked curiously, "Then what did you do afterwards?"

"Later?" He thought, "Later, I did various sports to exercise myself, such as horse riding, archery, skiing, swimming, and later, I found that when the body is tired to a certain limit, the heart will not be tired. gone."

"Really?" Lai Xiaocai was taken aback by this sentence, and thought about it seriously.

"Yes." He took it for granted: "Do you want to try my method next time? Extreme sports can force yourself to break through yourself."

Lai Xiaocai hesitated for a moment: "Sounds like sports that cost money, I think running is more suitable for me."

Unexpectedly, he laughed out loud in the dark: "Are you stupid? Why worry about money when I'm here?"

Lai Xiaocai muttered in a low voice: "Your money is not mine..."

This caused him to think for a while, and agreed: "That's true..." Then he changed the subject: "However, many women I have met really hope that my money is theirs, don't you want it? "

Lai Xiaocai replied solemnly: "My mother said that you can't take things that you get for nothing. This is what God wants to exchange with your other things."

"What do you mean?"

"That is to say, there is something to be gained in everything. Success needs to be exchanged with hard work, and feelings need to be exchanged with time. If you don't get anything in exchange, you can get it easily. If you get something for nothing, if you accept it, God will quietly take what you have from you in exchange for equivalent value."

He seemed to be enlightened by what she said, and after a long silence, he replied: "It sounds quite philosophical, but I haven't thought about it much before."

Lai Xiaocai's sobbing finally faded away, and her voice became brighter: "However, there are always exceptions. There is one thing that you get for nothing, but you don't need to exchange it with an equivalent."

This also instantly aroused his curiosity: "Oh? What is it?"

"That's happiness..." Lai Xiaocai's heart was slightly filled with warmth, and she couldn't help smiling: "Sharing happiness with others, you can have happiness for nothing, but you don't need to lose anything..."

yes. .hapiness,
Perhaps when you are unhappy, having someone by your side is the easiest way to overcome difficulties. No matter what difficulties or setbacks you encounter, as long as your relatives and friends are still by your side, you can be happy.

"That's quite reasonable, so let's share our happiness together?" Ling Xi said after a long silence.

Lai Xiaocai also nodded unconsciously in the dark, her nose, which was slightly blocked due to crying, finally became more comfortable: "Okay."

Later, Ling Xi shared with her many of his previous adventures, which really opened Lai Xiaocai's horizons.

It turns out that he is an extreme sports enthusiast who loves to travel. He has experienced all kinds of strange experiences, such as skydiving in the sky, watching the aurora in Antarctica, camping in the tropical rainforest, surfing, rock climbing and so on. , Lai Xiaocai was dumbfounded, and listening to his description, she seemed to have traveled around the world with him, and gradually forgot many troubles.

As for Lai Xiaocai, she shared her most proud dream with him. She told him that she liked watching Hayao Miyazaki's animations since she was a child, and liked such a fairy-tale world since she was a child. She always had all kinds of weird things in her mind. She wants to record them with her own paintbrush. She wants to draw such a positive story and show it to the world.
