she has a baby voice

It took a long time for the red light in the operating room to go off. The tired-looking doctor pulled off his mask and asked them, "Who are the family members of the patient?"

"I am, I am his daughter." Ke Meng hurried forward.

"Your father suffered from gastric cancer. Fortunately, it was discovered early and it has not entered the advanced stage. Judging from the current medical level in our country, as long as he is hospitalized for observation and surgery on time, he can be cured."

The doctor's tone was flat, Ke Meng felt cold all over, and his lips trembled: "Stomach cancer..."

"Don't worry, it can be cured." Just after an operation, the doctor urgently needed to rest without dripping water. He tried his best to appease the emotions of the patient's family members. A slip, "This is the bill for the operation fee, the payment office is on the first floor, and don't forget to go through the hospitalization procedures as soon as possible."

Above is a string of numbers that Ke Meng can hardly imagine.

She held the list and went to the payment office on the first floor. After adding the requirement for hospitalization, the total number was unbelievably high.Ke Meng's face was pale, and he was almost out of breath for a while.

This is only an upfront cost, and more will be needed for future treatment.

Chen Hui shook Ke Meng's trembling fingers distressedly: "I'll help you pay, I have money."

She opened the Alipay app on her mobile phone, and Ke Meng pressed the screen with one hand, her voice was low, but her attitude was firm: "You don't need to pay, I will find a way myself."

Chen Hui looked up, the rejection in Ke Meng's eyes was very clear, the two were so close yet so far away, there seemed to be an invisible barrier between them.

That was a world that Chen Hui had never entered. She always felt that she was the strong one, strong enough to hold up a sky for Ke Meng, and she was proud of it.But when she looked down, she realized that the person she wanted to protect was always standing outside the protective layer, unwilling to set foot in the territory that Chen Hui had created for her.

Whenever Chen Hui felt that her relationship with Ke Meng was getting closer, Ke Meng would always use actions to remind her that her affairs had nothing to do with her.You don't need her to stand out when you are bullied, and you don't need her to solve problems. If you accidentally take advantage of her for a while, you will definitely find ways to return it in another form. The boundaries between each other are so clear that they don't look like lovers at all.

Chen Hui pursed her lower lip: "What can you do? Your family is so poor, how can you get so much money to be hospitalized?"

Ke Meng's face suddenly changed.

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Chen Hui realized something was wrong, and immediately regretted it. Unfortunately, the water that was spilled could not be recovered, let alone it was still boiling water.

"Yes, you are right, my family is poor." Ke Meng smiled instead of anger, nodded, and her fingers slid off the screen of Chen Hui's phone.

That look made Chen Hui flustered, she would rather Ke Meng scold her than see Ke Meng like this.

Chen Hui apologized in a low voice: "I'm sorry."

Ke Meng smirked: "What are you apologizing for? You didn't say a single word wrong."

Chen Hui knew she was wrong, so she shut her mouth and said nothing.

Ke Meng didn't look at Chen Hui, turned around and walked back.Back in the ward, Ke's father hadn't woken up yet, and the nurse stood by the bed. The first thing she did when she saw them coming back was to ask Ke Meng to pay the fee.

There was no nurse to drive them away, so Ke Meng had no choice but to explain that he didn't have cash in hand, and promised to hand it over immediately in a few days, and then escorted his ID card and student card to the hospital, and the hospital reluctantly allowed Father Ke to stay temporarily.

My father's illness must be treated. She will go home tomorrow to see if there is enough money in the passbook... Follow-up expenses are also a problem. I can only compress time and find a few more part-time jobs. If you go to relatives to borrow money, the success rate is not high , since her father's "accident" that time, almost all relatives have alienated them. If it really doesn't work, she can only go for a loan... By the way, she missed work for no reason today, and she will have to ask the store manager for leave later ...

Ke Meng's mood was extremely heavy, but fortunately, his thoughts were still very clear.She bent over and huddled in the back of the chair blankly, thinking about the next plan, her arm was touched by something cool, she lowered her head, and there was a plate of peeled and cut into pieces in her vision. apple.

Chen Hui stared at the apple peel in the trash can: "You haven't eaten all day, I know you don't want to eat, at least eat some fruit, or your body won't be able to take it."

Ke Meng was silent for a while. A few minutes ago, she gave this man a look of disdain, but the other party was still thinking of her all the time.If you think about hurting someone ten thousand times, it still hurts. The pain is real, and the warmth is real.

She stretched out her hand, retracted halfway, and finally picked up an apple and put it in her mouth: "I just said something serious."

"It should be, who told me to talk nonsense." Chen Hui picked up an apple with a toothpick and handed it to Ke Meng's mouth, coaxing her like she used to when eating together, "Ah."

Ke Meng opened her mouth to eat, and also forked a piece to feed Chen Hui, who took a bite.Just like this, you fed me apples one by one, and no one mentioned the payment, and the relationship seemed to return to the previous harmony.

After the sun went down, the effect of the anesthetic finally ended. Father Ke opened his eyes, his consciousness was still a little fuzzy, and he struggled to sit up.

Ke Meng hurriedly stepped forward to support him, took a pillow and put it behind his back, poured another glass of water and handed it to his mouth: "Is there any discomfort?"

Father Ke shook his head, his mind gradually recovered, he remembered what happened before he collapsed, he stopped drinking after a few sips, pushed Ke Meng's hand away and asked her, "What disease do I have?"

Ke Meng put the disposable water cup back on the bedside table, her eyes followed the water cup all the time: "Gastritis."

Chen Hui glanced at Ke Meng, her lips moved, but she still didn't speak in the end.

Father Ke asked her, "Can gastritis cough up blood?"

"Why not? But the doctor said, this is a minor illness, and you will recover after a while."

Father Ke looked at her right and wrong, and suddenly lifted the quilt: "Since it's a minor illness, don't occupy the hospital bed anymore. It's not cheap to stay for a day."

How could this work, Ke Meng hurriedly held him down, coaxing and deceiving him, and then even the patients and nurses in the bed next to him rushed to help Ke Meng, and finally persuaded Ke's father.

Father Ke lay uneasy, always feeling that the red bills were burning every second, and asked after a while: "How long will it take for this disease to recover? How much is it for a day?"

"It will be cured soon, and it won't cost much, so don't worry."

Ke's father asked several times but couldn't get the specific number, so he kept his mouth shut and stopped asking.

It's getting late, Chen Hui has to go home.Today was the first day of Ke's father's hospitalization, Ke Meng was worried, and was going to accompany her to bed tonight, so she sent Chen Hui downstairs.

In the ward, Chen Hui hesitated to speak several times. When she was about to say goodbye to Ke Meng at the entrance of the hospital, she finally found a chance to speak: "The difference between gastric cancer and gastritis is still very big. It won't take long to hide it. You should go back later or not." It's better to be honest with your father."

If you say it straight, according to her father's personality, he would definitely not want to spend money on hospitalization, and he would go home anyway, and only rely on medicine to delay the disease.It's better to just finish the treatment at once without any worries. She is doing it for the good of her father.

Ke Meng nodded absently: "I'll tell him if I have a chance."

Usually such words are empty promises, but because Ke Meng said it, Chen Hui took it seriously.

She showed | a gratified smile, and waved at Ke Meng reluctantly: "Tomorrow I will also help take care of Dad."

She only said the word "father" without adding a prefix, and the meaning suddenly became different.

Ke Meng blushed a little: "Don't talk nonsense, who is your father..."

Chen Hui smiled happily, the corners of her eyes and brows were gentle, and she was a little proud.

Perhaps because of the infection, Ke Meng actually laughed too, but compared to Chen Hui, she smiled a little silly.

Ke Meng was still happy until that moment, and thought that he would continue to be happy with Chen Hui like this, but unfortunately, the four words "balanced and stable" never existed in the relationship.

The next day, Ke Meng got up early in the morning and went back to her country home. Her father had told her where his passbook was and what the password was.At that time, Ke Meng was young and didn't understand his father's real intentions. After listening to Xiaoxiao, he forgot about it. Now that I think about it, my father probably had a sense of crisis at that time, and his body's various functions were gradually declining. He told her the password. It was to prevent him from passing away suddenly one day, and Ke Meng needed money urgently but couldn't get it out.

Ke Meng collected the deposit receipts and passbooks with a complicated expression, took out part of the cash to pay the expenses owed to the hospital, then called the store manager to briefly explain the situation, and asked for two days off.

After finishing all this work, it was almost noon, and when I returned to the ward, there was Chen Hui's backpack at the foot of the bed, but Chen Hui herself had gone somewhere.

Ke Meng looked around, and Ke's father put down the old magazine and waved to her: "Come in, stand there blocking the door to prevent others from entering and exiting."

"Yeah." Ke Mengyi closed the door and walked to his father's bed.An operation made Ke's father seem to have aged ten years overnight. The blue blood vessels under the skin were clearly visible, protruding from under the shriveled forearm, which was terrifyingly ferocious.

Father Ke's eyeballs have become yellow and cloudy due to his age, but his eyes are quite lively, with a shrewd light flickering in them: "How is the part-time job handled? I asked you to resign, have you resigned?"

Ke Meng's heart trembled, the two had quarreled about this matter before, and it was because of this fight that Ke's father was hospitalized, so it was obviously impossible to repeat the old trick.

She didn't speak, protested silently.

Father Ke sighed heavily, and Ke Meng's heart sank. He was about to speak when he suddenly heard his father ask, "You didn't apply for the bursary at all, did you?"

Ke Meng was startled, and his thoughts faithfully reflected on his face, and it was too late to change his expression to cover up.

She thought her father would beat her, but her father just kept looking at her in that position without moving. At that moment, the clarity and disappointment in Father Ke's eyes were so clear, as if a knife was stabbing back and forth in her heart. cut grinding.

Ke Meng opened her mouth: "...Chen Hui told you?"

"It doesn't matter who told me." Father Ke's eyes grew more disappointed, "If I didn't accidentally discover it, would you plan to lie to me for the rest of my life?"

----

Chen Hui rushed to the bathroom with the heat provided by the hospital, poured out the remaining overnight water in it, and then turned on the faucet to fill it up.

On the way back, Chen Hui walked briskly. She came earlier than Ke Meng, and the chat with Ke Meng's father was much more harmonious than expected, leaving a good impression. This can be regarded as meeting the other's parents in advance.

Pushing open the door, the ward was surprisingly quiet, even the noisy boy on the next bed lowered his voice.As usual, everyone was doing their own thing, and their hands were constantly moving, but there was an indescribably weird feeling.

Ke's father's chest rose and fell slightly, and Ke Meng lowered his head, one by one silent.

"Chen Hui," Ke Meng walked over, with an unprecedentedly cold tone, "Let's talk alone."
