Siheyuan: The road to counterattack for the little transparent

Sha Zhu opened his sleepy eyes and met Qin Huairu's infatuated gaze. He rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

Qin Huairu was a little flustered by his actions and quickly turned her head away, trying to hide her undisguised gaze just now.

At that moment, the air seemed to freeze and both of them were at a loss.

There was a flash of panic in Sha Zhu's eyes. He quickly sat up, cleared his throat and said, "Sister Qin, why are you here?"

Qin Huairu was brought back to reality by his voice. She tried to calm herself down and said softly, "I heard that the old man was injured and hospitalized, so I came to see him."

Her voice became lower and lower, and she kept her head down and never raised her face. It was obvious that she was extremely embarrassed that Sha Zhu had caught her staring at him just now.

An old lady was holding a meat bun in her hand and chewing it numbly, but she felt that the food had no taste.

Her injured hand had been treated with medicine, but she still felt pain, causing her to frown slightly.

From time to time, she turned her head to look at Yi Zhonghai lying on the hospital bed, her heart full of worry.

Her husband hasn't woken up yet, and her heart is still hanging, unable to truly calm down.

Although Auntie was aware of the subtle relationship between Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu, she had no time to care about it at the moment.

She only hoped that Yi Zhonghai could open his eyes soon and regain his former spirit. Only in this way could she let go of the heavy stone in her heart.

For a moment, the entire ward was filled with silence except for the sound of an old lady chewing. It seemed as if one could hear a pin drop clearly.

After a long while, Yi Zhonghai finally woke up. The first thing he saw was an old lady sitting at the head of the bed eating a meat bun.

He immediately frowned, thinking that this old woman had made him like this, yet she still had the mind to eat buns here. How infuriating.

Yi Zhonghai's brows furrowed even deeper. He had just woken up, and his voice was still a little hoarse: "You old woman, I'm in this state, and you still have the heart to eat buns."

When the aunt heard Yi Zhonghai's voice, she was stunned at first, and then a look of surprise appeared on her face.

She quickly put down the buns, moved closer to Yi Zhonghai, and said anxiously: "Old Yi, you finally woke up! You don't know how worried I was about you."

"Are you hungry? These are the meat buns Huairu brought us. I've tried them and they're pretty good. Would you like to have one too?"

When Yi Zhonghai heard this, a smile immediately appeared on his pale face: "Huai Ru is here, is Bang Geng here too? Come quickly and show it to Grandpa Yi."

Auntie looked at Yi Zhonghai's anxious look, feeling both relieved and helpless. She said softly:

"Huai Ru has been here for a while, but Bang Geng hasn't come yet. You, you're thinking about Bang Geng as soon as you wake up."

A hint of disappointment flashed across Yi Zhonghai's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and said:

"That's right. Bang Geng has just been discharged from the hospital. He's not fully recovered yet. You should come to the hospital less often. Please give me one of the buns. I'm really hungry."

When Qin Huairu heard this, she realized that Yi Zhonghai was not angry because Banggeng did not come to visit him, so she breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile:

"Uncle, the buns have probably gotten cold after sitting out for a while. Let me find a place to heat them up for you before you eat them."

Then he went to get some boiling water and steamed the buns with the heat before bringing them back to the ward. Seeing this, an old lady quickly took it and handed it to him.

Yi Zhonghai took a bite of the bun and chewed it slowly, with a satisfied look on his face. He said with emotion:

"Huai Ru is really thoughtful. These buns taste really good." The aunt was happy to see Yi Zhonghai eating with relish.

After Yi Zhonghai finished eating the buns, Qin Huairu sat and talked with him for a while. Then, thinking that she had to go back and cook for the children, she said:

"Uncle, aunt, I'll go back first. The family needs someone to stay home, so I have to go back and keep an eye on things."

Not long after she walked out of the ward, Sha Zhu stood up and said that he wanted to go back to cook for his wife Lingzi, so he would not stay with the old man anymore and would visit him sometimes.

So just like that, Qin Huairu and Sha Zhu left the hospital one after another.

Sha Zhu had taken a nap in the hospital and was now in good spirits. He walked towards the courtyard with brisk steps, whistling happily.

A good spirit leads to a good body. Sha Zhu's steps were brisk and powerful, and soon he caught up with Qin Huairu who was walking back slowly.

Qin Huairu was immersed in her own thoughts, walking slowly, when she suddenly heard a whistle. The sound seemed particularly abrupt in the quiet atmosphere.

She was startled, thinking it was some scoundrel, and quickly turned around to look. This time, she saw that it was Sha Zhu, and she was immediately surprised: "Zhu Zi, it turned out to be you."

There was a flash of surprise in Qin Huairu's eyes, as well as a hint of imperceptible complex emotions.

"I was wondering who it was. Why did you come back? You don't want to accompany me anymore?"

When Sha Zhu heard the question, he chuckled, scratched his head and said:

"The uncle is in the hospital with his aunt, so why would he need me? Besides, I have to go back to cook for my wife."

Sha Zhu's tone was full of love and responsibility for Lingzi, and his eyes revealed a happy light that made Qin Huairu envious.

Hearing this, Qin Huairu put away the smile on her face and muttered, "Your wife is so happy. I really envy her."

"Sister Qin, what did you say? I didn't hear it clearly." Qin Huairu lowered her voice deliberately, and Sha Zhu really didn't hear what she said just now.

Qin Huairu was slightly startled, and quickly covered it up: "Nothing, I said you should go back and cook for your wife."

A faint smile appeared on her face again, but it seemed a little forced.

While the two were talking, a man on a bicycle followed them from a distance. This man was none other than Xu Damao.

Xu Damao saw a man and a woman talking and laughing from afar. The most important thing was that the man's back was extremely similar to his archenemy Sha Zhu, so he accelerated and pedaled forward.

When he saw that it was indeed Sha Zhu as he expected, and the woman was Qin Huairu, a sly look flashed in his eyes, and he said in a yin-yang tone:

"Hey, isn't this Shazhu and Qin Huairu? Why are they back together? What's going on?"

Sha Zhu frowned and replied unhappily: "It's none of your business!" Qin Huairu lowered her head and didn't want to pay attention to Xu Damao.

Xu Damao was not willing to give in and continued, "Looking at the two of you, still talking and laughing, there must be something wrong."

"Silly Zhu, don't forget that you have a wife now. You are so close to Qin Huairu, aren't you afraid that your wife will be jealous?"

Sha Zhu glared at Xu Damao and said, "Stop talking nonsense here. We are fine. If you keep talking nonsense, I will tear your stinky mouth apart."

Seeing that Sha Zhu was angry, Xu Damao was afraid that he would do what he said, so he quickly got on his bicycle and rode back to the yard.
