Enchanted (GL)

Chapter 84

Grandma Ji leaned on the hospital bed to watch TV. The family ethics drama that started in 50 episodes, the parents are short and trivial, one episode is a little noisy, two episodes are a big noisy, the elderly can always watch with relish.

Ji Xi returned to the ward after the phone call.

“Xixi,” Grandma Ji turned her attention away from the TV screen, and said to Jixi, “You don’t have to be here to watch me tonight. Go back to sleep.”

“No, I slept during the day.” For the past two days, Ji Xi stayed here at night, and went back to the apartment during the day to rest for a while, leaving her grandma to spend the night at the hospital alone.

“You child, if there is anything I can call a little nurse girl, how can you be able to survive by staying here every day.”

“I have to go to work soon, so I can only ask a carer to take care of you.”

When Grandma Ji heard that she wanted someone to take care of her, “How much does it cost a day? I am much better now and can be discharged from the hospital.”

“The doctor said he would be hospitalized for a few more days.”

Grandma Ji curled her mouth and muttered: “The doctor must want to stay a few more days. How expensive is the hospitalization fee.”

“Chen Xu said the same thing.” Ji Xi took out her assassin, and Grandma Ji believed Chen Xu’s words more than the chief doctor’s words.

Grandma Ji has nothing to say: “Oh.”

“Grandma, my salary is not low, and there are commissions and bonuses. Don’t worry.” Ji Xi knew that she was reluctant and didn’t want to spend more money. In the past two days, every time she went for a checkup, she would quietly pull herself and ask how much it would cost to take the photo.

“This money is definitely not for you to spend, and grandma won’t let you out.” Grandma Ji frowned and insisted: “It’s your own money now that you have money. Don’t be lavish, save and live your life, you know?”

Grandma Ji felt sorry for her granddaughter. This girl had a hard life, and now she has finally recovered.

In fact, Ji Xi quietly gave Ji Nan more money for vocal lessons, but she didn’t tell her grandma. If she told her grandma, grandma would definitely not let Ji Nan go on this path. Ji Xi was willing to do this. If she didn’t have her grandma and sister, maybe she couldn’t make it at all. I still remember when she first went to junior high school, she was very bereaved, and even thought about cutting her wrist and leaving.

“Grandma.” Ji Xi changed the subject, “I have a friend to see you later.”

“What kind of friend?”

“It’s the one I told you before. I take care of me at work…” Ji Xi and Grandma Ji mentioned some things about Qiao Zhiyue. At that time, they were talking about the leadership. Now the situation is different. Besides, the leadership is so strange.

“Well, a female leader who treats you well?” Grandma Ji still has a good memory, remember.

“Well, that’s her. She heard that you were hospitalized and wanted to come and see you.”

“She is so nice.”

Ji Xi smiled. At this moment, I really feel like taking my girlfriend to see his parents. However, no one should dislike Qiao Zhiyu, who is beautiful, has temperament and self-cultivation. With such a girlfriend, Ji Xi sometimes feels like she is dreaming.

Qiao Zhi arrived at the hospital a little late, and went shopping, a fruit basket, and some nutrients to help heal his bones.

Ji Xi saw the figure of Qiao Zhiyu in the promenade. Qiao Zhiyu wore a shirt with a jacket over his arm. It looked like he had hurried over.

“How do you buy so many things?” Ji Xi asked in a low voice, helping Qiao Zhiyu pick it up, looking at the several bags in her hand.

“See the parents.” Qiao Zhiyu also replied in a low voice.

She didn’t seem to care about her family, which gave Ji Xi a sense of peace of mind. But in front of Grandma Ji, she couldn’t introduce Qiao Zhiyu as a girlfriend. The elderly cannot accept it.

Thinking about it, I felt a little wronged by Qiao.

The two walked into the ward side by side.

Ji Xi called out first, “Grandma.”

Grandma Ji turned her head and looked at the door. She was startled. She had thought that the female leader should not be young, but after seeing Qiao Zhiyu, she was so young and beautiful. Looking at it, she was not much older than Ji Xi.

“Grandma, I’m Ji Xi’s friend, come to see you.” Qiao Zhiyu greeted enthusiastically, “I feel better now? Does the leg still hurt?”

Looking at Qiao Zhiyu, Grandma Ji was a little nervous for some reason, “It’s better, it doesn’t hurt anymore. Can you understand me? I can’t speak Mandarin.”

The words are simple and sour, in fact, Rongcheng’s dialect is not much different from Mandarin, so it is easy to understand. The accent is a bit heavy.

“Grandma, I understand. I also lived in Rongcheng when I was a child. But I don’t know how to speak the local dialect now.” Qiao Zhiyu explained carefully.

Hearing Qiao Zhiyu said that he had lived in Rongcheng as a child, Ji Xi became sensitive, and a certain nerve was quickly poked.

“I was very happy when you came to see me. You brought so many things and it was a waste.” Grandma Ji said again, “You are Xixi’s leader. I heard Xixi talk about it. Thank you for taking care of Xixi. .”

leadership? Qiao Zhiyu killed Ji Xi with a calm expression in his eyes. He could not be said to be a girlfriend. He said that a friend is more suitable than a leader.

Ji Xi frowned at Qiaozhi, not knowing how to explain it for a while.

“She mentioned me to you?” Qiao Zhiyu asked with a smile.

“I mentioned it,” Grandma Ji said politely, “Sit down.”

“Grandma, my name is Zhiyu.”

“Yeah.” Grandma Ji smiled and nodded, looking at Qiao Zhiyu, “Same as the people on TV.”

Qiao Zhiyu also reflected the meaning of this sentence.

At this moment, Ji Xi reminded in a low voice: “Praise you for being beautiful.”

Qiao Zhiyu raised his lips.

When Ji Xi saw Grandma Ji’s smile at Qiao Zhiyu, her eyes were narrowed, and she knew that she must have liked it too much. She guessed right, Joe always laughed, how could anyone dislike it.

Qiao Zhiyu saw that the old man liked him, and he was naturally happy, “Grandma, I will wash the fruit for you.”

“Well, Xixi, go and wash some fruit for the leader to eat.”

It was the leader again, Qiao Zhiyu was helpless, how awkward to listen, she poked and glared at Ji Xi.

Ji Xi took the fruit quickly, and said to Qiao Zhi: “I’ll wash some fruit, you accompany grandma.”

The old lady in the bed next door saw that Grandma Ji was always accompanied, that was an envy, and said with a smile: “Oh, there are people who come to accompany you every day and chat, I envy you.”

Grandma Ji is happy and has lived for a long time, and she is satisfied if she is not alone.

Ji Xi was washing fruits at the sink, and the water was rushing. At this time, there was a sound of footsteps in the corridor outside the door, getting closer and closer, and finally stopped at the door. “Grandma, are you better today?”

After hearing the sound, Qiao Zhi turned his head and saw a tall man in a casual jacket approaching. Some familiar, she recognized that it was the old classmate of Ji Xi.

“Come on, why buy fruit again?” Grandma Ji and Chen Xu greeted, obviously more natural than Qiao Zhiyu, just like a family.

After Chen Xu saw Qiao Zhiyu, he recognized it at a glance, “Hello, last time we met at the bus station, you also came to see grandma. By the way, my name is Chen Xu.”

Qiao Zhiyu just smiled: “Hello.”

Ji Xi washed the fruits and found that Chen Xu was talking to Qiao Zhiyu.

“Let me come,” Chen Xu walked to Ji Xi, took the fruit, and said to Grandma Ji who was on the hospital bed, “Grandma, I’ll peel an apple for you.”

Seeing that Chen Xu was so familiar with each other, it was obviously not a temporary visit, Qiao Zhiyu couldn’t help but look at Jixi. Ji Xi still had drops of water hanging on her hand, it was cold, and she noticed that the atmosphere was a bit wrong.

At this moment, the old lady talking to the bed next door said to Grandma Ji: “You are so lucky. Granddaughter and son-in-law are so filial, and come to accompany you every day.”

The ward was suddenly quiet. But Qiao Zhiyu was more sensitive, and the smile on his face faded.

Ji Xi quickly explained to the old lady, “You misunderstood, he is my classmate and works here.”

Chen Xu also echoed: “We are fellow villagers.”

The old lady smiled awkwardly: “Ah, sorry.”

Grandma Ji glanced at Chen Xu, jokingly muttered: “If only you have such a good grandson-in-law.”

“Grandma…” Ji Xi interrupted Grandma Ji anxiously, so that the elderly should not make such a joke. She looked at Qiao Zhiyu again, Qiao Zhiyu’s expression was obviously cold, and she suddenly felt “finished”.

“Ji Xi, I’m on night shift at night. I can help watch grandma. You can go back and rest. See you spending the night in bed for the past two days.” Chen Xu is a warm-hearted person. He was originally an old classmate and a neighbor. Now the old man works with him. Where he was hospitalized, he thought, helping a little is just a matter of hand.

Qiao Zhiyu looked at Ji Xi, the expression on his face became colder, the cold that could freeze to death.

“No.” Ji Xi wanted to sew Chen Xu’s mouth, “You go to work, I’m sorry to delay your time.”

“Everything, they are all friends.” Chen Xu said with a smile.

The atmosphere in the ward changed after Chen Xu arrived, and did not ease up after Chen Xu left. Ji Xi really felt Qiao Zhiyu’s low pressure. In front of grandma, Ji Xi couldn’t say anything.

The two chatted with Grandma Ji for a while, Grandma Ji took a drip, leaned against her, and came up dozing off. Ji Xi helped her pull the quilt and let her sleep without disturbing her.

Qiao Zhiyu sat in front of the hospital bed, still absent-mindedly thinking about things. To be honest, she saw Chen Xu expertly taking care of Grandma Ji here. She was very angry, but suppressed it forcibly without leaving a trace.

Upon seeing this, Ji Xi wanted to take Qiao’s hand and take her out to talk.

Qiao Zhiyu didn’t let Ji Xi hold hands, but stood up directly, motioned with his eyes, and went out.

Ji Xi followed behind Qiao Zhiyu, and when he left the ward, he closed the door easily. There was a row of plastic seats outside the ward, and there was no one. The hospital was indescribably deserted at night.

Just sat down. Ji Xi explained in a low voice to Qiao Zhiyu: “Chen Xu and I are just classmates. His grandpa and my grandma are neighbors. When I was young, my grandma took good care of him, so he took care of my grandma. Don’t get me wrong.”

“I’m not jealous.” Qiao Zhiyu knows Ji Xi’s temperament. Ji Xi will never be with her or play ambiguously with others. She trusts Ji Xi 100%. But she just didn’t understand, why did Ji Xi tell Chen Xu about this, instead of telling her? Why is it that Chen Xu is the one who accompanies Ji Xi to take care of the elderly in the hospital, not her girlfriend…

Qiaozhi was overwhelmed with emotions, but seeing Ji Xi’s tired appearance, she was reluctant to break out. She tried to calmly and said to Ji Xi: “Let’s talk. I feel bad now.”
