Interaction rules for sick girls

Volume 3 Hidden Pisces

Prologue Rain

She said goodbye to him with a smile, and her true feelings were drowned out by the noise of the rain.

When she turned around, she had turned back into an expressionless and delicate doll.

At three o'clock in the morning, the huge room was swallowed up by darkness. The only thing that still persisted was the faint light on the monitor.

He remained motionless on the monitor until the early hours of the morning

She stayed outside the monitor until the early morning

A flash of lightning

What is illuminated is her deep love

————The deep gaze from a certain girl

Chapter 226 Returning Home

When Xia Xiu woke up, he was in the hospital. Looking at the blank ceiling, his thoughts also became confused.

Did he just...have a dream?

He shook his head, and the remnants of the dream quickly left his mind and disappeared completely.

There was no one in the ward. Xia Xiu tried to sit up and found that there seemed to be nothing serious. There was just a thick bandage on his left leg, but the feeling had disappeared and there was not much pain.

I tried to stand on the ground and walk a few steps, but I was limping and seemed to have no strength. It seemed that Brother Zixuan didn't use much force.

But it's true, the scalpel is so small that it can't go very deep into the thigh. I don't know if he has received a tetanus shot?

Xia Xiu put on his shoes and did not ring the bell to disturb the nurse's rest, because it was already very late and he did not want to trouble a stranger.

Walking alone in the dark corridor, the green light flickered above his head, calling his soul. Xia Xiu didn't know which ward Xiaoyu was in, so he had no choice but to search room by room.

The wards at night are full of human warmth and coldness. Some wards are filled with laughter and joy. The patients are accompanied by their partners, cared for by their children, and the warmth of their families makes their faces full of bright smiles. But some patients' rooms are lonely and empty. The cold moonlight shines on their curled-up bodies in bed. When a breeze blows, the bodies of those elderly people seem to become more hunched and weak.

How is Xiaoyu doing now?

Are you curled up in bed like those lonely, helpless patients with no one to visit you?

He quickly got the answer and stood at the door looking at the girl lying on the bed. She had a white bandage wrapped around her eyes, her messy hair helplessly floating under the pillow, her face was pale, and the blush at the corners of her eyes seemed to indicate that she had shed some tears.

The girl did not react at all to Xia Xiu's arrival. Instead, a child in the same ward was looking at him with big eyes, as if wondering why Xia Xiu didn't come in.

Xia Xiu smiled bitterly. Yes, Xiaoyu couldn’t see now, and all this was caused by him.

He moved closer, but the sound of his footsteps did not alert the girl until he hugged her, at which point she began to struggle violently, punching and kicking him.

"It's me, Xiaoyu, it's okay, it's okay..."

Xia Xiu's words disappeared in the sound of the girl's movements. He knew that she needed an outlet, someone to blame, otherwise she would collapse.

She has lost so much. The family she had lived with for so long kicked her out of the house, and the biological brother she finally met wanted to attack her. Now her eyes are completely shrouded in darkness. The double damage of psychological and physical damage made her choke with sobs.

"Why...why...it's always like this, you are like this...my brother is like this too...I obviously did nothing wrong...I obviously did nothing..."

Her nails dug deep into his back, leaving bloody marks one after another.

"I clearly... I clearly just want to live a simple life, I clearly just want to be with you... but why do you all treat me like this..."

“Is that wrong?”

She murmured to herself.

"Is there anything wrong..."

Xia Xiu's hug became the last straw that broke the camel's back, and the tears that he had been holding back finally burst out.

The secretion of tears once again moistened the wound that had just been disinfected, but the intense pain made her feel unable to feel anything real. Her world collapsed, and she had nothing left. Except for this broken body, she had nothing. She was a disabled person and could not even take care of herself.

"That's right, Xiaoyu has never been wrong. It's me and this world that are wrong. After all, you didn't do anything, my dear. You just need to recover quietly. Just teach me everything else."

Xia Xiu, contrary to his usual behavior, hugged the girl in front of him who was in desperate need of a sense of security, and held her in his arms. He kept stroking her head and buried her sobs under his chest.

He didn't say too much because he knew his words had no credibility and only actions could reassure people.

Especially when Xiaoyu was at a loss and couldn't see anything, touch and hearing were her only means of understanding information from the outside world.

Gradually, the crying in the room subsided. Xia Xiu thought Xiaoyu had fallen asleep from exhaustion from crying. He was about to put Xiaoyu on the bed to let her have a good rest, but her hands were still tightly grasping his clothes.

"don't want......"

She gritted her teeth, feeling a wave of fear in her heart. Her world was already dark. She couldn't see the words on the textbook clearly, couldn't put on nice makeup in front of the mirror, couldn't know who was standing in front of her, and she couldn't even notice that he had just stood in front of her.

Without his arms, she would be lost like a helpless little broken boat adrift on the sea, unable to tell where her own course was.

Xia Xiu had no choice but to let him hold her. The pleasant scent of the girl entered his nostrils. Perhaps because he couldn't see at the moment, Xiaoyu's clothes were a little messy, with most of her shoulders exposed. He carefully helped her tidy up, smoothing out the wrinkles at the corners of her clothes bit by bit, then put his head on Xiaoyu's soft body and closed his eyes to rest.

The nerves that had been tense for a long time began to relax, the heart that had been blocked began to become clear, and the feeling of being neither up nor down also disappeared, leaving a rare aftertaste after a climax.

"Cough cough!"

The older sister at the side pretended to cough a few times embarrassedly, and looked at the boy with a joking look.

Xia Xiu turned around with an innocent expression and subconsciously protected Xiaoyu behind him. The girl held his hand tightly and refused to let go.

"Oh, I didn't say anything. I don't object to premature love or anything like that. It's just that someone is a scumbag. Maybe one day in the future he will suffer the consequences."

The elder sister chuckled and put the hot water on the ground. She had just gone out to get hot water. A girl like Xiaoyu certainly needed someone to accompany her at all times.

The thick-skinned Xia Xiu naturally would not show any abnormality due to the teasing of the older sister. He looked at the girl who was still a little confused and wanted to talk to Sister Jing alone, but the little devil who had been holding his fingers refused to let go.

"Don't worry, Xiaoyu's eyes are fine. She will be fine in a few weeks at most. But you have to take good care of her in these few weeks, or I'll beat you up."

"Don't worry, I will take good care of Xiaoyu after I take her back," she said.

Xia Xiu said with a smile, and the sad girl felt a warm current flow through her heart after hearing the news that she would be taken back. She held Xia Xiu's hand even tighter, so tight that he had to try hard to hide the pain coming from between his fingers, revealing a smile that was uglier than crying.

Chapter 227 Dependence

It was already the next day when Xia Xiu took the girl home.

Due to her official duties, the elder sister naturally couldn't stay with Xia Xiu for long, so driving them home was already the most she could do.

The girl was still dressed in a hospital gown. Since she had no spare clothes, the sticky feeling on her body made her subconsciously grab the corner of Xia Xiu's clothes in front of her.

Her world was gray and black. Without Xia Xiu holding her hand, the girl didn't even have the courage to take a step forward.

What is the world like for the blind? Xia Xiu once tried to experience it by closing his eyes, but when a person who is used to the light suddenly steps into darkness, he will feel uneasy in everything he does.

She was worried whether there were steps blocking the way ahead, worried whether she would hit her forehead if she walked forward with her head down, and worried that people would rush out from either side and scare her.

Worry about life, worry about studying, worry about everything.

Xiaoyu's situation is relatively lucky. She only needs to experience this kind of life for a few weeks before she can recover. However, those children who become blind for life because of their unscrupulous families will regret it for the rest of their lives.

He once inquired about what happened to Sakura and her family. He heard that after the Eye-Digger was caught, the whole family moved away from the town, probably because they felt guilty.

I hope Sakura can meet someone she can entrust her life to in the future.

Xia Xiu thought so, and then he felt the small hand behind him grabbing his hand restlessly. She probably felt uneasy because she was only grabbing the corner of his clothes.

He smiled, then slowed down his pace and walked leisurely with the girl. Xiaoyu was now much more frank than before. Although the two had not communicated much so far and spent the elder sister's drive in silence, Xia Xiu truly felt her dependence.

After thinking about it, Xia Xiu laughed at himself. Now he was acting as Xiaoyu's eyes. If she didn't rely on him, who else could she rely on?

She brought Lin Xiaoyu across the courtyard and came to the door of the house. Because she couldn't see, the girl always walked in small steps. Sometimes when she encountered a small piece of gravel, she would test it with her foot for a long time, and then face Xia Xiu with a pitiful face. Xia Xiu had no choice but to kick the obstructive stone away.

When he arrived at the door of his home, Xia Xiu remembered something. He was unconscious at Lan Zixuan's place in the evening, and he slept for a whole day and night the next day. He was only discharged from the hospital now. In other words, the child at home had been alone in there for two days.

I haven't cooked for that child for two days. Will he starve to death?

Xia Xiu shook his head, drove this outrageous idea out of his mind, inserted the key, and turned the door.

Xiaoyu, who was very familiar with her home, took off one of her shoes and looked around blankly because she couldn't see. There was a hint of sadness in her confusion.

Xia Xiu smiled, then squatted down and found the pair of dog slippers that Xiaoyu usually liked to wear from the shoe rack. Then he held Xiaoyu's little feet with one hand and put the shoes on her cute little feet.

The girl's feet were suddenly held by someone and her body trembled involuntarily, but she remembered that there was no one else around and he was the one helping her put on her shoes. Her originally sad cheeks involuntarily turned a little red, making her look a little more lively.

Does he dislike his smelly feet?

She thought so with annoyance.

Xia Xiu didn't know whether Xiaoyu had smelly feet or not. Anyway, there was no evil thought in his eyes. He just pinched the girl's feet instinctively. Only after the latter made a strange sound involuntarily did he stop in disappointment.

In the final analysis, they were all just small episodes. After returning to the familiar home, the warm smell of home made Xiaoyu, whose nerves had been tense, relax a little. However, she could not find her sense of direction and could only feel around randomly until she touched Xia Xiu's big hands and felt at ease.

The girl has now completely turned into a sticky piece of chewing gum, and can follow Xia Xiu with peace of mind.

She is a patient, well, there's nothing that can be done about it.

After changing his shoes, Xia Xiu was walking through the entrance hall with Xiaoyu. Then, he saw a figure standing on the sofa and staring at him, which scared Xia Xiu a little.

It seems that Jiang Chuchu can still take good care of herself. Children who take the initiative to find food are good children. It’s just that the other party looks at her with a strange and resentful look.

Xiaoyu, who had been following Xia Xiu from behind, hit her head suddenly because of his pause, and then covered her nose with one hand, but even so, she did not let go of Xia Xiu's little hand with the other hand.

Jiang Chuchu, who was full of resentment, shrank her neck like a mouse seeing a cat when she saw Lan Qiuyu. The resentment on her face disappeared immediately. She was about to hide in the room at the speed of light, but after observing the situation carefully, she felt something was wrong.

She seems... blind?

She lowered her head and wrote down her doubts on a note. Xia Xiu took a look, nodded, and then took Xiaoyu to sit on the sofa.

"I'll go outside and bring the luggage in. I won't be far away. If you're scared, tell me to come right away."

After giving Xiaoyu such careful instructions, he went to the door and moved some luggage that was originally in Lan Zixuan's house.

Jiang Chuchu frowned in confusion, wondering if the sister in front of her was really blind or just pretending to be blind?

She leaned forward and waved her hand in front of the girl, but found that there was really no response. She tilted her head and thought for a moment, then took out a small hammer from the utility room, which she could easily swing even with her strength.

He stood in front of Xiaoyu, tilted his head again, and then smashed the hammer down with lightning speed, and the sound of breaking wind whistled directly in the air.

But when it was one or two centimeters away from Xiaoyu, it suddenly stopped, leaving Xiaoyu confused and carefully rubbing the familiar yet unfamiliar sofa.

The girl stuck out her tongue, then threw the small hammer away. Chu Chu was so cute and kind, of course she would never do anything to hurt others.

Then he jumped up and down, ready to pounce on Xia Xiu who was still busy outside the door. He looked a thousand times more relaxed than when he first came to this house.

She sent him a lot of messages and called him these two days, but he didn't answer any of them. Didn't he know that he would be worried if she stayed at home alone?

Jiang Chuchu hugged Xia Xiu's waist tightly, hesitated for a long time, and didn't want to move away. After greedily absorbing his yang energy for a long time, she looked up at him with dissatisfaction.

Xia Xiu touched the child's head helplessly and comforted him.

"Thank you for your hard work these past few days. Something happened outside. It's my fault for not contacting you in time."

Up to now, Xia Xiu still walks with a limp, and his injury has not yet fully healed.

"Is everything okay?"

The girl reached out her hand worriedly to touch her injured thigh, but then retracted her hand for fear of hurting the wound.

"It's okay, it's okay. I'm just taking some time off to recuperate."

When the girl heard that Xia Xiu was going to take a leave to accompany her, she danced with joy.

Chapter 228: Scum Cultivator

Of course, Xia Xiu did not ask for leave just for Jiang Chuchu. Xiaoyu was in such a condition that it was impossible for her to stay at home alone. Xia Xiu planned to stay at home for a while to recuperate. Given his situation, if he told his teacher, he would definitely agree.

Isn't it better not to go to school? Besides, Xia Xiu has already been to a school like this once. If it weren't for the diploma, who would be willing to go to that deserted and boring classroom?

Xia Xiu moved Xiaoyu's things one by one into her original room, including the big stuffed doll. Such a big doll would make one feel safe when hugged. In line with the principle of not wasting, he picked it up and regarded it as Brother Zixuan's relic, and would burn it during the Qingming Festival next year.

Turning her head to look at Xiaoyu who was still sitting on the sofa, the girl groped her way to the floor at some point and stretched out her hands to identify items such as tables and chairs.

This is not good, Xia Xiu rushed over quickly. There were large and small teacups, baskets and other items on the table. What if he accidentally swept them and hit his head?
