Hear this life

At the same time, Xiao Taozi's round face also came up. Wen Tingli kissed her sister on the forehead and pretended to get up.

Melissa hurried over and held her down: "Miss Wen, don't move. Doctor Lewis strictly forbids you to get out of bed and walk around this time."

Mrs. Zhou rushed to hug Xiao Taozi in her arms, "Sister is recovering from her injuries, how can she hold her daughter?"

He looked at Wen Tingli with red eyes again: "It's really scary. How could a good studio catch fire? Fortunately, no one is hurt. Thank God."

"Why do you look so bad? Did you get the news last night?"

"That's right! I waited until late at night yesterday but you didn't come back. I was so worried that I couldn't sleep. I wanted to call Miss Huang to ask, but Mr. Kuang called me suddenly. It was Mr. Lu who asked him to call. Mr. Kuang told me about the fire on the set and told me not to worry. This morning he personally drove to pick me and Xiao Taozi up to the Lu Mansion. I guess this was also Mr. Lu's intention. On the one hand, he was afraid that you would miss us, and on the other hand, he was afraid that we would worry because we couldn't see you... Oh, Mr. Lu is so thoughtful and considerate. It's really amazing."

Wen Tingli looked indifferent and didn't respond. Suddenly, she heard footsteps in the corridor and Dr. Louis came in.

“Have you taken your temperature?” Louis asked Melissa as soon as he came in.

Melissa pulled out the thermometer and looked at it: "It's a low-grade fever."

Louis shook his head. "Miss Wen, we have already reminded you that this stage is the most susceptible to colds. You should have stayed in bed and rested in the morning, but you insisted on going upstairs. Now it's bad if you get pneumonia. You'd better be an obedient patient for me in the next few days."

Wen Tingli groaned and said, "From now on, even if you force me to go upstairs, I won't go upstairs. Not only will I not go, I will also ask to be 'discharged' immediately."

Louis was already quite familiar with Wen Tingli, and was basically half-informed about her and Lu Shicheng's breakups and reunions. Hearing this, he couldn't help laughing, but he tactfully didn't ask any more questions.

Someone else happened to come. It was Aunt Liu. She brought two sets of daily necessities and said with a smile, "These towels and cups are all new. Aunt Zhou and Miss can use them without worry. The guest room has been cleaned up. I will take you there later. Please see if you need anything else."

Mrs. Zhou was flattered: "Why are you so polite?"

"That's what Mr. Kuang said," Mrs. Liu said warmly. "Mr. Kuang said that Miss Wen's lungs are still inflamed. According to the doctors, she has not passed the critical period yet. Instead of being jolted on the way to the hospital, it's better for her to stay here and recuperate for a few days. Also, the arsonist has not been caught yet. In order to avoid any more accidents after returning home, it's better for her to stay in the Lu Mansion and recuperate. And in order to make it easier for your family to take care of each other, Mr. Kuang specially asked us to clean up a guest room next door. Nanny Zhou and the young lady can stay in the Lu Mansion without worry. Just tell us what you want."

Mrs. Zhou looked at Wen Tingli at a loss.

Louis said on the side: "As your doctor, I will not approve your 'discharge'. It's freezing outside. If you get caught in a cold wind on the way back, a minor illness may turn into a major one. Besides, Miss Wen should be able to guess--"

If he wants to keep guests, only the owner of Lu Mansion is qualified to do so.

Having said that, leaving would be hard on herself, and Wen Tingli would never be hard on herself. The key point was that she was also worried that the man would cause trouble after she returned, so she pretended to be calm and said, "Well, let me think about it first."

But he only pretended to think for three seconds, then said, "Well, since you are so sincere in wanting to keep us here, thank you for your trouble."

In this way, Xiao Taozi and Zhou Sao naturally settled down in Lu Mansion. Every morning, Zhou Sao would bring Xiao Taozi to take care of Wen Tingli and stay for the whole day.

In addition to Louis, two new internal medicine doctors from Huiqun Hospital were responsible for taking care of Wen Tingli. Surrounded by several medical staff, even an occasional sneeze by Wen Tingli would be closely watched.

Mrs. Liu is specifically responsible for taking care of Wen Tingli's diet. The menu is personally checked by Louis. The dishes are not only light and nutritious, but also varied. Knowing that Wen Tingli loves snacks, the kitchen will make some easily digestible pastries for every meal, which makes Xiao Taozi very happy.

After a few days, even Mrs. Zhou gained weight.

In the past few months, Wen Tingli has had to get up before dawn almost every day, often without even having time to eat breakfast, and has to rush to school or to the set to film.

During the days she spent recuperating at the Lu Mansion, she could wake up naturally after a good sleep without being disturbed.

As soon as I opened my eyes in the morning, I could see the garden outside the gauze curtain. Although the lawn in winter was not as green as in summer, it was still green under the careful care of the Lu family. Through the window screen and the shadows of the trees, I could see pieces of white moving "clouds". Wen Tingli knew that they were pigeons raised by Lu Shicheng. She thought of the things that happened when she first met him. Only when a person is in a very leisurely state of mind will he have time to recall such long-ago details.

Once your mood is relaxed, your body will naturally heal quickly.

These days, Lu Shicheng has been recuperating upstairs.

Wen Tingli never went upstairs to find him again. She secretly drew a line between the first and second floors.

But she knew that news about her would always reach Lu Shicheng's ears.

Yesterday morning she just casually said that she wanted to eat Siamese pomelo, and at noon Kuang Zhilin personally brought a large box to visit her.

The day before yesterday, she just asked Mrs. Liu if she had any toys for children, and in the evening someone brought Xiao Taozi a pile of literacy building blocks.

This is a typical "Lu style", caring and considerate, all in action.

At this point, she was no longer in a hurry to meet Lu Shicheng again. They were both in the Lu Mansion anyway, and they would run into each other sooner or later. By that time, she would be the one with the upper hand psychologically. After all, it was he who tried every means to get her to stay and recuperate, and it was he who took the initiative to bring Xiao Taozi and the others to the Lu Mansion to keep her company.

That afternoon, she fell asleep after taking the medicine.

In a daze, I heard Xiao Taozi talking to someone in the corridor.

At first, Wen Tingli thought she was dreaming, but suddenly she woke up because she realized that Xiao Taozi was calling her, "Mr. Ru."

Wen Tingli's heart skipped a beat and she quickly opened her eyes, only to find that the room was empty. It was also quiet outside, but soon she heard a young man answer, "Hello, Xiao Taozi."

Wen Tingli's mind went blank.

His voice is clear and magnetic, and in this quiet afternoon, it has a soft and touching taste.

Xiao Taozi also seemed to be stunned there. After a brief silence, she screamed happily: "Mr. Ru, speak! Mr. Ru, speak! Sister!"

Wen Tingli panicked and turned her back to the door.

Lu Shicheng seemed to have grabbed Xiao Taozi.

"Shhh."

Wen Tingli's heart was pounding, Xiao Taozi seemed a little confused, but Lu Shicheng quickly changed the subject.

"What are you playing?" "Playing with building blocks!" Xiao Taozi really forgot about going to look for her sister, "Big crab, Mr. Lu, help Xiao Taozi build a big crab."

Then, there was the sound of building blocks scattering all over the floor, and Little Peach jumped excitedly on the marble floor, her little leather shoes making a constant "clacking" sound.

Wen Tingli turned around and stretched her neck to look towards the door. For the first time, she felt that the wall in front of her was particularly annoying. She couldn't see the situation outside, and could only guess from the sounds that Lu Shicheng was playing with building blocks with Xiao Taozi.

Is his pneumonia completely healed? This is the first time he has come downstairs in days.

After a few minutes, I heard Xiao Taozi clapping excitedly.

"All done! Big crab!"

There was the sound of blocks being pushed down again. "Put it together again, Mr. Ru."

Lu Shicheng didn't seem to be impatient at all with Xiao Taozi's request. From time to time, the subtle sound of assembling building blocks could be heard from the corridor floor. The quiet atmosphere made people's hearts unconsciously soften.

Not long after, I heard Little Peach cheering happily: "Big frog! Big frog!"

Suddenly, Lu Shicheng asked, "Where is Mrs. Zhou? Can I take you to find Mrs. Zhou first?"

Wen Tingli's heart was beating like a drum. According to the next development, Lu Shicheng would definitely take advantage of the situation and bring Xiao Taozi to find her.

As she expected, the next second she heard Lu Shicheng picking up the toys on the floor. Xiao Taozi joined in awkwardly: "Xiao Taozi pick them up yourself. Let's go find our sister—"

Wen Tingli continued to turn her face towards the window and close her eyes, pretending to be asleep. As long as he brought Xiao Taozi in to visit her, she would open her eyes and face him at the right time.

And then--

Sure enough, footsteps were heard in the corridor, and it seemed that Lu Shicheng was coming over here with Xiao Taozi.

Every step he took forward was like a gentle tapping on Wen Tingli's heart.

At this time, the door of the next room was suddenly opened, and Mrs. Zhou said in a panic: "Xiao Taozi, Xiao Taozi! Oh, I was scared to death. I just closed my eyes for a while, how could you sneak out? Mr. Lu, are you feeling better? You were playing with Xiao Taozi just now? I'm really sorry, how can I trouble you."

Lu Shicheng said in a polite tone: "It's okay."

Although Mrs. Zhou had heard earlier that Lu Shicheng had recovered from his muteness, she still seemed frightened by Lu Shicheng's voice.

Xiao Taozi's excited voice sounded again. "Mrs. Zhou, listen!"

Mrs. Zhou suddenly came back to her senses: "That's great, Mr. Lu, you - wait, I have taught Xiao Taozi many times, it's Mr. Lu, not Mr. Ru."

I didn't hear Lu Shicheng reply, I only heard Mrs. Zhou timidly say: "Mr. Lu, are you here to visit our young lady? She should be waking up soon."

Then, the footsteps of several people approached this side.

Wen Tingli quickly closed her eyes. Xiao Taozi was the first to run into the room and gently pushed Wen Tingli's shoulder with her little hand, "Sister, sister, wake up quickly."

Wen Tingli could no longer pretend, so she had to pretend that she had just been woken up and turned her head blankly.

"What's wrong?" She rubbed her eyes hypocritically, but when she opened her eyes, she found that only Mrs. Zhou and Xiao Taozi were in the room.

Wen Tingli quickly looked around and confirmed that Lu Shicheng was not in the room. She suddenly forgot to hide her emotions and whispered on the pillow: "Where is he?"

"Who?"

"Mr. Lu."

Mrs. Zhou was now certain that Wen Tingli was just pretending to be asleep. She wanted to laugh, but also said with a bit of regret, "Mr. Lu stood at the door for a while, but he didn't come in."

Wen Tingli's face was full of disbelief.

Mrs. Zhou added, "Mr. Kuang is waiting for Mr. Lu on the steps outside. It looks like they are about to go out."

Wen Tingli hurriedly threw off the quilt and got out of bed, but she heard the sound of a car starting from the porch in front of the garden. She looked out the window and saw Lu Shicheng getting into the car. At this moment, Louis and Melissa came in. Wen Tingli didn't have time to return to bed, and the two sides bumped into each other.

Lewis coughed lightly: “Miss Wen, although there is heating in the room, it is best not to stand at the window, it is easy to catch a cold.”

Mrs. Zhou quickly picked up her coat and put it on Wen Tingli. Wen Tingli looked out the window and said, "It's so cold, are they still going out?"

"Mr. Lu's cough wouldn't go away, so he decided to rest in the special ward of Huiqun Hospital for a few days. There are monitors and oxygen equipment there. Before he left, he told us to continue to take care of Miss Wen, and told Mr. Kuang to stay in the Lu Mansion. Miss Wen just needs to rest and recuperate here. Everything is the same as before."

Excuses! Everything was an excuse! He had been in the corridor for so long just now, and she hadn't heard him cough once.

He just didn't want to give the two of them another chance to get entangled with each other.

In order to avoid her, he actually left the Lu Mansion to her and left himself.

She really wanted to force Lu Shicheng to ask him what he was afraid of? Was he afraid of meeting her? Was he afraid that he would be shaken once he saw her?

There is no one who is more capable of deceiving himself than he is.

Thinking of this, her heart gradually calmed down. She returned to bed and received treatment as usual. In the evening, she took Xiao Taozi and Mrs. Zhou home. Before leaving, she left a very formal thank-you letter without any other words.

She has figured it out these days. Everyone has their own principles in dealing with things, and love is no exception. Lu Shicheng can't get over the hurdle in his heart, and she is unwilling to give up her principles. Since both parties are unwilling to compromise, it is better for them to calm down for a while.

In fact, she didn't have the chance to think about her relationship with Lu Shicheng, because as soon as they got home, Golden Pictures called.
