Orphan girl reborn: Why are you clinging to me?

After a doctor's examination, Chen Chao's body was fine, but he was still a little weak and could go home to rest.

The doctor prescribed some more medicine and discharged Chen Chao from the hospital.

Wang Zhizhou and Lin Luo sent Chen Chao home together.

Chen Chao seemed to be in good condition. He was sitting in the living room on the first floor of his house, eating the breakfast that Lin Luo brought him.

"Lin Luo, the steamed buns made by your mother are so delicious, better than those sold outside."

Chen Chao praised it while eating.

Wang Zhizhou boiled a pot of water in the kitchen, brought it to the living room, and poured a glass for Chen Chao.

"The doctor said you need to drink more water, you know? You need to drink 8 glasses of water today."

Wang Zhizhou had been guarding Chen Chao in the hospital last night. The two were already familiar with each other, and Chen Chao nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

"Okay, Uncle Wang, I will make sure to drink enough water. Thank you for taking care of me these two days. When my mother comes back, I will ask her to treat you to dinner."

Wang Zhizhou waved his hand and didn't care.

"Don't be so polite. Your mother said on the phone that she will be home tonight. You should have a good rest at home. I have something to leave first. If you need anything, call me."

He turned to Lin Luo and asked, "Lin Luo, will you come with me?"

Lin Luo looked at Chen Chao, who was still eating breakfast, and shook his head, "I have to wait a little longer. After Chen Chao has finished his breakfast, I can take my lunch box and go home together."

Wang Zhizhou understood, "Okay, I'll leave first, you go home early."

After Wang Zhizhou left, Lin Luo sat aside and watched Chen Chao gnaw on the steamed buns.

Seeing that he was eating in a hurry, Lin Luo couldn't help but remind him: "Eat slowly and drink some water."

After Chen Chao swallowed his last mouthful of steamed buns, he began to complain to Lin Luo like he was pouring beans.

"I haven't eaten since yesterday. When Uncle Wang sent me to the hospital, I was still in a daze. It was already noon when I woke up. They only gave me water and infusions, and didn't let me eat. They said I was eating. My stomach was broken, my intestines were weak, and my body’s resistance was weak, so I had a high fever. I thought that I didn’t eat anything dirty.”

Lin Luo asked: "What did you eat the night before yesterday?"

Chen Chao replied: "The leftovers my mother left the day before didn't taste very good, so I only ate a little..."

Lin Luo rolled his eyes, "You deserve to be in the hospital."

Chen Chao frowned, with a serious expression on his chubby face, as if he was thinking about the safety of that dinner.

He opened his mouth slightly, wanting to say something, but did not say anything, and began to drink the porridge from the second layer of the lunch box.

After finishing the porridge in one go, Chen Chao wiped his mouth and started again.

"Wow, Lin Luo, how come your mother's white porridge is so delicious? It looks like ordinary white porridge, but it tastes slightly sweet. It's so delicious."

Hearing Chen Chao's praise of Lin Manqing, Lin Luo felt happy, but he said, "You didn't eat anything yesterday, of course everything you eat is delicious now."

Chen Chao expressed doubts, "Is that so?"

"That's it. Have you finished eating? I'm going to take the lunch box and go home." Lin Luo stood up, preparing to pack the lunch box and leave.

Chen Chao watched Lin Luo cover the lunch box and put it into the bag, then suddenly stopped her, "Lin Luo!"

Lin Luo stopped and looked at Chen Chao, waiting for him to continue.

Chen Chao swallowed, "I...I have something to ask you..."

It was the first time that Lin Luo saw him hesitating like this. He thought of the plot in the novel "Father" written by Chen Chao in his previous life when he was in college, and felt a little uneasy. If he asked, would she tell the truth?

"What do you want to ask?"

Chen Chao looked into Lin Luo's eyes with an unprecedented seriousness in his eyes.

"Lin Luo, can you see ghosts?"

"Ah?" Lin Luo was about to deny it.

Chen Chao spoke again: "Don't lie to me, otherwise, we will no longer be friends!"

Lin Luo didn't know what to say. It seemed that the scene in Chen Chao's novel where he saw his father tucking him in was probably not imaginary. He really saw it!

Seeing that Lin Luo remained silent, Chen Chao's heart sank.

"The night before yesterday, who were you talking to in my study? I heard you call 'Uncle Chen'."

"Yesterday morning, you put a T-shirt into my mouth, and I heard you arguing with someone. Who was that person?"

"Speak! Who is that person? Can you see him?"

Chen Chao stood up excitedly. He was fat and half a head taller than Lin Luo, but now his eyes were filled with tears and his face was full of sadness, as if he was about to break down and cry at any time.

Lin Luo stood there, not knowing what to say.

At this time, a figure slowly came down the stairs leading to the second floor.

Chen Maocai looked at his son from a distance, but did not dare to get close.

Lin Luo looked at him for help, wanting to ask him if he wanted to tell Chen Chao, but Chen Maocai just shook his head in pain.

Chen Chao was shocked when he found Lin Luo making an expression in the direction of the stairs.

"He's here, right? What did he say to you?"

Chen Chao looked anxious and pulled Lin Luo's arm to shake it.

"Lin Luo, what did he say? Tell me quickly!"

Lin Luo was hurt by the tug and pulled off Chen Chao's hand, "Chen Chao, calm down!"

Lin Luo was strong and Chen Chao was pushed back a step.

He looked at his empty hands, then looked around the room where no one else could be seen except him and Lin Luo, and finally couldn't help but burst into tears.

He cried loudly and vented his sorrow in the crying, which was heartbreaking.

Lin Luo was already sure that this optimistic and cheerful boy had learned about his father's bad news.

No matter if she cried, at least she wouldn't bury everything in her heart like she did in her previous life. If she kept it in for a long time, problems would arise. The Chen Chao she knew in her previous life had an indifferent and gloomy temperament and didn't care about everything.

Lin Luo didn't speak until Chen Chao's crying became quieter.

"Chen Chao, you saw it too, right? Your father wants to tuck you in."

Chen Chao raised his head and kept wiping his tears with the back of his hand, but he couldn't wipe them away.

Lin Luo took out a napkin from his bag and handed it to him. Chen Chao took it, wiped away his tears and nose with the tissue, and sobbed.

"I, I saw it. When I went to bed the night before yesterday, I felt uncomfortable. My stomach hurt and my head hurt. When I was in a daze, I saw my dad next to my bed. He wanted to give me something. I covered myself with the quilt, but he couldn't touch the quilt or me. I wanted to hold his hand, but I couldn't! My hand actually went right through his body!"

"It was the same thing yesterday morning. I felt so hot and my head felt so heavy. I wanted to wake up but couldn't open my eyes. But I could feel that my dad was beside me. Then I heard your voice. You put on your T-shirt. Put it in my mouth and then say to a guy that he shouldn't touch me, you're talking about my dad, right?"

Lin Luo sighed and looked at Chen Chao. His red eyes were still filled with tears and he was looking at her expectantly.

"Lin Luo, tell me if you still consider me a friend."
