Forced into a romantic relationship

Chapter 326 Defective Products

Xiao Xiaoxiao has never liked hospitals since she was a child.

For her, who has been frail and sick since childhood, going to the hospital is basically equivalent to getting an injection. She hates sharp objects and is afraid of pain.

The hospital bed was like a prison, and the hanging needles in the hands were like chains. You couldn't move around when you lay on it, and you had to cover yourself with a thick, stuffy quilt that was so heavy that you couldn't breathe.

She didn't like the smell of disinfectant in the hospital, and she hated the layout of the ward even more, because the windows were always far away. Even if she stretched her neck to the longest, she couldn't see anything outside. She could only use the ability to see and hear Everything you see is imagined with a barren imagination.

The bright sunshine, the flowing clouds, the wind blowing the curtains, the chirping birds, and a group of playful peers - the young she could only imagine such a thin picture, and she could not imagine that she was in such a picture. Underneath, his favorite parents were discussing selling him.

The ward is very small, and the nurse sister will only come when she needs to change the sling bottle. The rest of the time, she is alone with no one to talk to. To pass the time, she can only count how many drops of saline water have fallen into the sling bottle. ——My parents said it was salt water, but at that time she didn’t understand why the salt water couldn’t be mixed and drank at home, but had to be injected into the body with a needle.

As she took more injections, she actually noticed that her parents didn't seem to like her as much as she liked them, and from time to time they would scare her with stories about bad children being sold.

So she has been working hard to be a good child and never get into trouble. When she first started school, she took the first place in the class twice in a row. She posted a lot of little red flowers at home. Most of her peers at this age are still crying around their parents. , and she was already helping to share the housework.

She is really a well-behaved child. Not only does she think so, but her teachers and neighbors also say so. However, her parents don't seem to think so and have never praised her.

Not once.

She knew the reason was that she was often sick, and her illness cost her family money, and their family was not rich.

At that time, she didn't understand that she couldn't control whether she got sick or not. She only remembered that her parents said that this was a punishment from God. She thought that she didn't do well enough, so she stopped playing outside and wore clothes. I have a higher salary than anyone else, and I finish my housework and go to bed earlier than anyone else, but it doesn’t achieve much.

Seeing that the smiles on her parents' faces were getting less and less, when she was about to go to the hospital, she mustered up the courage to say that she didn't want to get any more injections. She was afraid of injections and the pain.

She had never said these words before because she was afraid that her parents would worry.

And she still remembers that after saying this, the eyes of her parents became very scary, and they still took her to the hospital, and then disappeared as usual, and did not appear until a long time after the dialysis injection.

On the way back, she noticed smiles on their faces.

That night, when she got up to go to the bathroom, she finally heard her parents outside the house praising her in a low voice for the first time.

"Xiao Xiao is a good boy."

There was another sentence behind it, but she didn't hear it clearly at the time. It wasn't until a long time later that she suddenly remembered and reacted to it.

"Good children are worth selling for."

……

Xiao Xiaoxiao opened her eyes, her vision was blurry for some reason. She saw the pale ceiling in front of her eyes, and the smell of disinfectant kept entering her nose, telling her that she was still in the disgusting hospital ward.

The effect of the analgesic pump was not as powerful as the doctor said. The pain soon began to bite randomly all over her body like a mad dog, making her gasp for air.

It was obviously not that painful before the treatment...

She complained in her heart, saying that there was no need to be hospitalized. It was a waste of money. If the guy who sent her to the hospital dared to show up again, she would ask him to get her out no matter what.

Xiao Xiaoxiao was thinking this, and then he noticed that the sky had turned completely dark, there were only a few lights on outside the window, and the surroundings were silent, not even a dog barking could be heard.

Although she was used to it, she still felt a little lonely for no reason.

It's better than when I was a kid...at least it was still daytime outside the window at that time.

She murmured in her heart, and suddenly found that the corners of her eyes in the window were wet. She wanted to raise her hand to wipe it, but her hands were completely unresponsive. It seemed that the effect of anesthesia had not worn off.

I really hate hospitals...

But fortunately, no one would come in anyway, and no one could see me crying.

If someone actually comes in and the tears haven't dried yet, it means it just rained and the rain fell on his face.

Xiao Xiaoxiao stared out the window in a daze for a while. The pain all over her body made her sleepless, so she could only pass the time by counting the drops of liquid in the bottle.

When the count reached the twenty-third time, the ward door opened.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but the light outside the door seems to be brighter than the light in the room.

As soon as this thought flashed through Xiao Xiaoxiao's mind, she saw a figure tiptoeing to her bedside.

"You didn't sleep?"

Even just by listening to the voice, she could tell that this was the guy who sent her to the hospital.

What is this guy doing back?
Xiao Xiaoxiao was about to speak when he suddenly noticed that the other party was staring at his face in a daze. He suddenly realized something and said quickly: "It rained just now, and the rain fell on my face!"

As soon as she opened her mouth, she noticed that her voice was extremely dry, but even so, she still endured the discomfort and finished the entire sentence.

Han Zhou turned to look at the window and said suspiciously, "But the window is closed."

After a pause, he shook his head carelessly and said casually, "The nurse should have come here to help you close it before. It did rain a little when I came here. It's not only cold tonight, but also very windy."

Xiao Xiaoxiao was stunned for two seconds, looked away, and said "hmm" hesitantly.

"It's definitely a bit cold."

The ward became quiet, the whistling wind sounded outside the window, and dead leaves fell and slapped on the window.

After a long silence, Xiao Xiaoxiao was the first to break the silence in the ward: "What are you doing back here?"

"I heard the police tell you about your heroic deeds. On the way back, the more I thought about it, the more I admired you. I also thought that I didn't eat dinner and you probably didn't eat either, so I came back."

Han Zhou put the bag in his hand on the bedside table, turned around to get a glass of hot water, and asked, "Would you like some water?"

Xiao Xiaoxiao's nose moved, smelling the aroma of the food, and wanted to refuse, but in the end he gave a vague "hmm".

Han Zhou poured the hot water back and forth with two paper cups. Seeing that the temperature was almost the same, he walked to the bed. He remembered that the other party seemed unable to sit up, and he couldn't help but hesitate: "Can you drink water while lying down?"

Xiao Xiaoxiao didn't speak, but tried to raise his head with a ferocious expression of "That's all."

Han Zhou twitched the corner of his mouth, stretched out his hand to gently hold the back of the other person's head, and then poured water into her mouth.

"You put...Gulu..."

Xiao Xiaoxiao wanted this guy to take his hand away, but the water had already poured into her mouth, leaving her speechless. When she finished drinking the water, the other person had already taken his hand away, and she was too embarrassed to settle the score again. Able to sulk on one's own.

Han Zhou didn't look at her. He was unpacking the plastic lunch box on the bedside table. The aroma soon filled the entire ward. He asked in a "do you like it or not?" tone: "I bought two portions of porridge. Do you want it?" Want to eat?”

He didn't know why, but he always felt like this had happened somewhere.

Xiao Xiaoxiao glanced at him and didn't answer. He just raised his head hard again with a ferocious expression.

Han Zhou couldn't help but laugh, and couldn't help but think of Gu Zheng, who was also obsessed with face, and said with a smile: "You are very similar to a friend of mine." After saying that, he held the girl's head and fed her porridge with a spoon.

Xiao Xiaoxiao was a little uncomfortable being taken care of like this for the first time, especially when he thought that he had deliberately made trouble with this guy not long ago, so he took the initiative to answer: "What's the difference?"

They are very concerned about face...

Han Zhou sighed inwardly, but the girl had such a bad temper that it was obviously not easy to tell her directly, so he changed his words: "It's all very interesting."

"Oh……"

Xiao Xiaoxiao seriously suspected that this was not what this guy really wanted to say, and said, "I also feel that you look familiar."

It was precisely because of this indescribable familiarity that she had an inexplicable sense of trust in this guy.

Han Zhou was stunned: "What a coincidence? Me too."

"But I definitely haven't seen you." Xiao Xiaoxiao continued.

"why?"

"Because I have a very good memory and people I meet will never forget them."

Han Zhou nodded: "I heard from the police that you provided them with quite a few clues. I believe that the traffickers will be arrested soon."

"I hope the kids are fine."

Xiao Xiao took a sip of the porridge absently. He didn't seem to care much about the fate of the trafficker. He suddenly thought of something and asked hesitantly, "By the way, what's your name?"

"Han Zhou, what about you?"

Even though he had already learned the girl's name from the police, Han Zhou asked again.

"Just call me Xiaoxiao." Xiao Xiaoxiao's eyes trembled slightly, he swallowed the porridge in a big mouth, and said with a stern face, "Han Zhou, right? You have to get me out, I don't want to stay in the hospital."

Here it comes again... Han Zhou sighed: "No matter how anxious you are to be discharged from the hospital, you have to wait until your injuries are healed. Don't worry about the medical expenses. I will help you first. The police are already contacting your family. ”

He borrowed money from Lin Anyu not long ago.

"What?" Xiao Xiaoxiao was so shocked that he almost bit off the spoon in one bite, "I didn't say anything, how could they find my family?"

Han Zhou smiled: "You have to believe in the power of the police and take good care of yourself. Your family will come to pick you up soon... Won't you eat?"

Xiao Xiaoxiao did not open his mouth again, but fell into silence with a gloomy face.

"Discharge."

After a few seconds, she said in a gritted tone, "I'm going to be discharged from the hospital now."

Han Zhou was stunned for a moment and noticed that something was wrong with the girl's mood. He tentatively asked, "Can you tell me why?"

Xiao Xiaoxiao did not answer, but said impatiently: "Anyway, I will be discharged from the hospital now."

"In your current state, where can you go even if you are discharged from the hospital?" Han Zhou looked calm. He had determined one thing. This girl didn't seem to want to see her family.

"I can go anywhere, even begging on the street, but I don't want to stay here anymore." Xiao Xiaoxiao wanted to kick this mother-in-law, "Stop talking about it, go and tell the doctor that I am no longer in the hospital. You don’t have to worry about the rest!”

"You have a really bad temper."

Han Zhou sighed and put the bowl on the bedside table.

"So what? I just have a bad temper! I said it first, I won't pay back the treatment fee you paid. It's too late to stop now!"

Xiao Xiaoxiao kept making provocations, "If you don't let me leave the hospital, not only will I not pay back the money when I get better, I will smash your windows and splash paint on your door every day!"

She doesn't think having a bad temper is a bad thing. After all, the greatest value of a good child is that it can be sold at a good price, while a bad child can live more freely.

And as a "defective product", it is not impossible for the buyer to return it - when she was sold for the first time when she was a child, she had such a naive idea, thinking that as long as she behaved, she might return to her parents. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be sold again.

Of course, this is also related to her sickly body.

Although this result was quite ridiculous, she was determined to become a "defective product" and she doesn't feel anything bad about it to this day.

As a "defective product", she knows how to make buyers and sellers feel sick. In the same way, as long as she can make this guy hate herself, she can leave the hospital as she wishes.

However, in the face of her constant provocation, Han Zhou acted quite calmly and said casually: "It's up to you. I'm used to what you said."

Whether it was stones smashing into the windows or paint being thrown on the door, he had seen these methods many times on the group of debt collectors who came to Han Long to collect debts.

What's more, this guy is obviously having fun with his mouth.

Xiao Xiaoxiao was stunned: "What does this mean..."

Does this guy have a miserable life?

Looking at him looking so sick that he can't even eat enough, it seems that this possibility is not impossible...

Han Zhou didn't know what Xiao Xiaoxiao was thinking, so he said indifferently: "It's nothing, he just has a bastard father."

He shook his head, as if he didn't want to say more.

However, Xiao Xiaoxiao became interested and asked: "What bastard father? Please make it clear!"

"Why should I tell you?" Han Zhou wondered.

"I can help you with ideas!"

Han Zhou looked suspicious and looked the girl up and down for a moment: "Is your idea to smash his window?"

"That's so long-winded, hurry up!" Xiao Xiaoxiao urged, "I have experience in this area!"

Han Zhou pretended to be hesitant, looking embarrassed as if he wanted to talk but was embarrassed to speak: "We have just met, so it's not good to tell you what's on my mind like this, isn't it?"

Before Xiao Xiaoxiao could speak, he gritted his teeth and continued, "Except...unless you also tell me the reason why you are so anxious to be discharged!"

Xiao Xiaoxiao was not a fool. How could he not see that this guy was just trying to trick him? His face immediately darkened and he fell into silence.

After a while, she said reluctantly: "Yes, but you have to swear that you will send me out of the hospital after I tell you the reason."

"And...you can't tell the police these things."
