Chapter 151 The Little Mermaid
He Zhihuai was absent-minded all the way. The elevator door opened. Dr. Liu walked out a few steps and found that there was no sound behind him. He turned around in surprise.
Found that He Zhihuai was still in the elevator.
"Doctor He?"
He Zhihuai came back to his senses and came out of the elevator.
"What's wrong with you?"
He Zhihuai shook his head slightly, paused and then said: "I have something to go to see Director Wang. You are busy."
"Ah...oh ok."
Dr. Liu watched him leave with a blank look on his face.
"Director Wang!"
In the underground parking lot, Director Wang was stunned, "Zhihuai, do you have a problem with me?"
He Zhihuai stopped, quickly adjusted his breathing, and asked, "Excuse me for two minutes. I want to know about Jiang Qingshi's condition."
"Are you familiar with him?"
Director Wang was confused.
He Zhihuai pursed his lips slightly. He didn't want to lie, so he could only answer tactfully: "He and my brother are very good friends."
"Oh, that's right." Director Wang nodded, "You know it takes a hundred days to break your muscles and bones, let alone such a serious car accident."
"It turned out that he was so strong that his bones hadn't even grown yet, so he was in a hurry to get down and walk. I don't know what he was thinking, but he really didn't feel any pain."
"Fortunately, it was delivered in time. If this continues, his leg will really become useless."
"Is he still in the hospital?"
"Yes, you want to see him?" Director Wang called to the floor, "I just went over to check the room, and he is resting at this time. You can go again tomorrow."
"Okay, thank you."
"Is there anything else?" Director Wang noticed that he still had something to say.
He Zhihuai thought about it and asked: "Will he have any sequelae?"
"It's hard to say. If he keeps disobeying the doctor's advice, I'm afraid he will be unable to live without a wheelchair in his life."
——
On the sofa, Gu Miao was drowsy, holding a bag of potato chips.
As soon as He Zhihuai entered the door, he heard the sound coming from the living room. She was watching a variety show and laughing continuously.
Light and shadow flickered, and he walked in. His eyes fell on the petite figure curled up on the sofa.
She was dozing, covered with a blanket, and moving her head little by little, like a chicken pecking at rice.
You know where the bedroom is, but you still sit here and wait. On the table, she had not touched the dinner he had ordered, it was still warm.
He Zhihuai stood in front of the floor lamp and forgot about the past for a moment. Just looking at her from a distance, all the fatigue was swept away.
An unprecedented peace of mind.
He is used to being alone and has not felt the warmth of home for a long time.
From when I go out to study to when I start working, every time I come home, my eyes are empty.
He has always been alone.
Unexpectedly, one day, someone would be waiting for him to come home.
Until the potato chips in her arms fell to the ground, clatter.
The girl woke up instantly, sat upright suddenly, and looked at the TV screen with dull eyes. It took him a while to realize what he was doing. He raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, then mustered up the energy to bend down and pick up something on the ground.
Her lower body remained motionless on the sofa, and she stretched out her hands to desperately grab the bag of potato chips, almost, just a little bit...
"Be careful, I'm going to fall."
A familiar voice sounded, mixed with a helpless and doting sigh. Before she could raise her head, the figure was already walking in front of her, and the light in front of her eyes dimmed.
She blinked and watched as he squatted down, picked up the potato chips before her, and carefully cleaned up the scattered crumbs next to them.
Immediately afterwards, Gu Miao realized how strange her current posture was.
She rested her hands on the ground, her upper body almost hanging in the air, and her legs seemed to be stuck to the sofa, which was extremely funny. She looked embarrassed and quickly stepped back to try to sit up, but her hands were weak and she was forced to freeze in place.
Just when she was hesitating whether to just climb down, a chuckle came from above her head, followed by a tightening on her waist, and He Zhihuai held her back.
Hearing his laughter, Gu Miao's cheeks grew hot. She pulled up the blanket and refused to look at him, "Second brother, why didn't you say anything when you came back..."
"I thought you were sleeping."
Gu Miao frowned, glanced at him with an angry look, and muttered something in a low voice.
"What?" He Zhihuai didn't hear clearly and leaned closer.
"I——" Looking at the enlarged facial features, Gu Miao paused and subconsciously held her breath.
"I said what I did just now seemed... very strange. And you saw it..."
"How could it be?" He Zhihuai smiled and ruffled her hair, "It looks like a little mermaid stranded on the beach, how could it be strange."
Gu Miao's ears turned red and he hesitated for a long time not knowing how to answer. He suppressed the excitement in his heart and pretended to be reserved.

"Why don't you eat?"
"I'm not very hungry, I just want to wait for my second brother to come back together."
He Zhihuai gently pinched her hot ears and said with a smile: "It's hard work and we are all Miao Miao. Let's go, I will carry you to dinner."
He picked her up from the sofa, and Gu Miao exclaimed, hugging him tightly and wrapping her legs around him.
The person beneath him paused slightly.
The girl's legs were hooked around his waist, so tightly that she could even feel her ribs being squeezed.
But for some reason, I felt no pain at all. It was more of a strange physiological reaction... that quickly swept through the whole body in a short period of time.
He Zhihuai lowered his eyes and looked at her face. The girl hugged his neck tightly and lay on his shoulder, exposing only a section of her white neck.
And the dazzling red mark on his neck.
Almost instantly, He Zhihuai looked away. As if nothing had happened, he carried her to the restaurant and sat down.
During the dinner, He Zhihuai remained silent, only picking up food for her from time to time.
Seeing that she had almost eaten, she got to the point.
"I heard about the engagement party."
He thought that this was probably why Gu Miao came to him.
Judging from her reaction, he guessed correctly.
He Zhihuai smiled at her and calmed her down, "Don't worry, I've already communicated with my aunt. If you don't want to, the engagement will not count."
Gu Miao lowered her head, "Second brother, I came to you just to tell you this."
"Actually, I volunteered."
"..."
There was a soft sound from the other side, and the man put down his chopsticks.
After a short silence, He Zhihuai smiled and said:
"In my opinion, Miaomiao may not like that classmate of the Chi family that much."
"If it were my aunt..."
"No." Gu Miao shook her head.
The curvature of He Zhihuai's lips gradually disappeared, and Gu Miao explained before the lip line evened out.
But after hearing her explanation, He Zhihuai's expression still showed no sign of loosening.
He didn't smile or make any expression. He just looked at her silently, as if he was considering something.
After a long time, he asked in a calm tone: "May I know why it is him?"
Gu Miao was at a loss.
He Zhihuai: "If you just want to get out of trouble by relying on this lifelong method... Miaomiao, your choice is far more than this one."
