I am weak and friendly

Chapter 69 Child, Thank You
In the ward, Qiu Zhaodong and the round-faced nurse had made all the preparations.

They set up a phone stand on the hospital bed, mounted a phone, and pointed it at the elderly man in the bed.

Then I arranged the other medical devices to make the elderly person as comfortable as possible.

Then Qiu Zhaodong cautiously said to the old man on the bed, "Grandpa, look who's here?"

He waved to the door.

Despite having mentally prepared myself while outside.

However, when Tang Yiping actually entered the ward as "the old man's grandson," he was completely dumbfounded.

He suddenly felt a little lost and didn't know what to do.

What if I can't fool the elderly?
What if I make a mistake?
This was the old man's last wish!
Tang Yiping discovered that he was not as calm and strong as he had imagined.

He froze instantly, left only to let the wheelchair roll forward.

Fortunately, there was Lola.

She shouted loudly with a strong voice, "Grandpa, I am your long-lost granddaughter!"

The old man's eyes immediately lit up on the hospital bed.

"Grandpa, these are your grandson and granddaughter," Qiu Zhaodong said quickly. "They've come to see you! Are you happy?"

The old man seemed too excited, and for a moment even the software couldn't recognize what he wanted to say.

"You should have a good talk with them. We won't bother you any longer!" Qiu Zhaodong gave Tang Yiping an encouraging look, glanced at Lux following behind Tang Yiping, hesitated for a moment, but still didn't say anything, and turned to leave the ward.

Don't go... Tang Yiping felt utterly helpless.

Don't you guys have any sense of loyalty?!

Tang Yiping almost cried.

Over there, Lola had already started chatting with the old man.

"Grandpa, are you dying?"

"yes……"

The very first sentence made Tang Yiping want to put his hand to his forehead.

Shut up, Lola, don't kill the conversation right from the start!

"But Grandpa, you're not even a hundred years old yet! How can you die so young? How could you have lived for hundreds more years!"

Lola, who is at least five hundred years old, said so.

"Because...Grandpa is sick."

"Oh! Getting sick means you'll die. I know so many people who have died like that. It's a good way to die, at least better than dying while walking..."

"……yes……"

Tang Yiping felt that this was no longer just a matter of killing the conversation.

"Grandpa, I've heard that after everyone dies, they return to the sea of ​​information and become a wave in it. Is that true?"

"I do not know."

"Grandpa, after you die, go to the Sea of ​​Information and then tell me, okay?"

"Ah good."

"When I die too, I'll go to the Sea of ​​Information and ask you, and you'll tell me the answer then... Wait, will I be able to find out the answer myself by then?"

"I think so."

Foolish Lola...

Tang Yiping felt that the conversation was completely nonsensical, but he clearly saw a smile on the old man's face.

Although he was as withered as a skeleton, his smile was as warm as spring.

Well done, Lola.

On the other side, Lux had already left Tang Yiping's side and moved to the other side of the hospital bed.

Then her gaze fell on the multi-channel infusion pump connected to the old man's body.

“It’s right here,” she whispered to Tang Yiping.

Is the entangled body right here?
On this multi-channel infusion pump?

Lola's gaze froze. She gestured towards the IV pump, then frowned. "Strange, the capture failed?"

At that moment, the system prompted:
—The “weak” [Entangled Entity] feels threatened and hopes to form an alliance with you, who possess the [Friendly Beacon], and is willing to accept your enslavement in order to gain your protection.

When the message popped up, Tang Yiping noticed many strange, thread-like objects on the infusion pump, somewhat like the filaments that float across the retina in cases of floaters.

It exists, yet it is not obvious; it disappears upon closer inspection.

——【Entangled Body】: A tangled mess that's impossible to untangle! Did your neatly combed headphone cord get knotted again? Did your hair wake up in the morning a complete mess that you couldn't comb? That's the culprit! 【Entangled Body】 is often considered a breeding ground for chaos, a self-entangled, self-entangled, and self-locking "weakling". It likes to devour linear order, stirring it into an unbreakable knot, and then proliferate within it.

Tang Yiping suddenly remembered that the round-faced nurse had said that the infusion pump was particularly prone to getting tangled, and that every time he finally managed to untangle it, it would get tangled again, and it would take him a long time to untangle it.
Could it be the entangled entities causing this? This thing seems like a real nuisance!
But... if this thing is also weak, could it be as magical as the [Stacking Insect], giving it many unique advantages?

However, this is Lux's target, and it wouldn't be right for me to steal Lux's things.

The system prompted again:

—【Tangled organisms】can live in your hair, and although they are a bit short, they find it tolerable.

Hair?

Wait, I have short hair!

Where else could it be... Damn!

You can tolerate it, but I can't!

No, no, no!

Go and go with your Lux!

Tang Yiping chose to refuse very decisively.

Fearing that the [Entangled Body] would entangle him again, Tang Yiping quickly said to Lux:

"Quick, try again!"

Lux pointed, and this time, the Entangled Entity did not ask Tang Yiping for help again.

"Great, it worked!" Lux exclaimed with delight. "Thank you, Mr. Li Ke Boren! I did it! [Entangled Body] has agreed to form a symbiotic contract with me as the master! From now on, we are the symbiotic [Lux Entangled Body]!"

Really? Tang Yiping looked Lux ​​from left to right, and it seemed that something was indeed different.

There was no wind in the ward, but Tang Yiping clearly saw that Lux's long hair moved on its own without any wind, the ends of her hair rose up, and then quietly tangled together.

It's visibly true that Lux's straight long hair has been transformed into slightly voluminous curls.

Another strand of hair had unknowingly climbed onto Lux's shoulder, its tip sticking up like a snake.

Tang Yiping always felt that it was the [Entangled Entity] looking at him with a resentful gaze.

“Mr. Li Ke Boren, [Entangled Body] said you are a scumbag, this is…” Lux asked in confusion, then her eyes widened, “So, you gave up following [Entangled Body] to make way for me?”

"No..." I just don't want to have to unlock it every time I go to the toilet.

It's already so difficult for disabled people to go to the toilet, okay?

Moreover, as anyone who frequently gets caught in this mess knows, it hurts a lot!
“Thank you, I will repay you,” Lux said earnestly. “This is the promise of the Great Tree.”

No need, no need, I should thank you.

Tang Yiping quickly waved his hand.

After this strange visit ended, Tang Yiping watched Lux ​​and Lola leave and returned to the ward.

The old man seemed to have fallen asleep again. Tang Yiping came to his side, gently held his hand, and hoped to help him relieve his pain as much as possible.

A moment later, the old man opened his eyes.

He stared straight at Tang Yiping: "Child, who exactly are you?"

"Ah, I am... I am your grandson..." Tang Yiping said awkwardly.

“Child, I’m just sick, not stupid,” the old man said.

So he saw through it all along?

Tang Yiping felt his face flush red instantly.

"Thank you, good child, thank you for everything you've done for me." The old man looked at Tang Yiping. "I'm about to leave this world. Do you... want my inheritance?"

Yes I do!

Tang Yiping imagined that huge house, that comfortable place to live.

He didn't want to leave; he wanted to stay there.

But this is not his way of dealing with people, nor is it the family education that Master Tang gave him.

Even if he wanted it, Master Tang wouldn't agree.

“Your inheritance should be left to your own grandson. They will definitely come back to see you, they definitely will. One day, they will live in the house you decorated for them, lying on the blue bear's sheets…” Tang Yiping said weakly.

The old man stared at him without saying a word, as if trying to memorize his appearance.

After a long while, the old man said, "Child, go and call my doctor over, then go home."

"You're too young. You shouldn't have seen what happened next..."

"Child, let's go, let's go, let's go home."

"Thank you, child."
