65    Are you an adult

Gan Qing was satisfied with Xu Huaidian's attitude of protecting Gan Nian, and Luo Tianjin also said: "My sister is good at studying and now she has reached 985."

Seeing that both of them were protecting themselves like this, the bad emotions that just now were dispelled.

The relatives were talking and turned to another topic.

After dinner, Gan Nian and Xu Huaishen walked back to the hospital.

He asked, "Are you in a better mood?"

"Yeah, it's much better."

"You don't have to care about what relatives say, they don't know the real you."

Gan Nian raised her lips, and she looked at him, her eyes shining under the sunlight, "In deep heart, am I so good?"

He touched her head and admitted without any implicitly: "Yeah."

Even if some people don’t like her and think she has all kinds of problems, she is like the sun, shining brightly.

——

In the afternoon, after Xu Huaishen left, Gan Nian returned to the hospital.

After dinner in the evening, Luo Jian originally planned to let his two children go home, but Gan Nian said he was fine, so he stayed in the hospital to take care of Li Xiu.

The surgery tomorrow morning requires someone to take care of it at night. Luo Jian will go home and sleep for a while, and come to change shifts later at night.

Gan Qing took the report to see the doctor, and Gan Nian was left in the ward.

She washed an apple and said to Li Xiu: "Grandma, will I peel an apple for you to eat?"

Li Xiu nodded, saw her quietly peeling, and suddenly asked: "That boy was you talking about in the afternoon?"

She knew that she was referring to Xu Huaishen, "Yeah."

She coughed a few times, "How is that boy?"

How old is it?"

"As old as me, we are from the same school."

Li Xiu nodded and felt relieved when she knew it was a student. "You should be careful when talking about friends. There are many people who cheat on girls now, do you know?"

Gan Nian heard that Li Xiu was caring for her, and she was happy. She smiled and cut the apple into pieces and handed it to her mouth: "I understand, grandma, don't worry."

Li Xiu didn't say anything else. In the evening, Luo Jian came to change shifts, but Gan Nian said, "I'll stay and take care of my grandma with my uncle."

Luo Jian is a man after all, and some places are not very convenient.

Seeing that Gan Nian insisted on doing this, Luo Jian also agreed.

At around ten o'clock, Luo Jian asked Gan Nian: "Niannian, I'll drink that little porridge for dinner tonight. Are you hungry now?"

"I'm fine..."

"It's okay, uncle went down to buy some hot midnight snacks, and I just happened to be not full at dinner."

So Luo Jian went downstairs and Gan Nian sat beside the bed, and Li Xiu was already asleep.

She browsed Weibo for a while, and when she looked up, she realized that something was wrong with Li Xiu.

Her face was pale, her eyes were closed, her chest was undulating, and she seemed to have difficulty breathing.

Gan Nian hurried forward and wanted to wake her up: "Grandma, grandma..."

However, Li Xiu never opened her eyes. Gan Nian's heart sank and ran out of the ward: "Doctor--"

The doctor and nurse on duty rushed to start the examination. At this time, Luo Jian came back and was shocked to see that there were so many doctors in the ward.

Gan Nian told him about the situation, and the two were waiting anxiously.

After the examination, the doctor said that it was not serious, but the operation should be performed as soon as possible so that the problem will not worsen.

Gan Nian breathed a sigh of relief, the burden in her heart fell, and the doctor joked: "Don't be too nervous, we are all there if there is any problem."

"Thank you for your hard work, the doctor."

After they left, Luo Jian patted Gan Nian's back and said, "Come on, have some midnight snack."

It was very late at night, and Gan Nian began to feel sleepy. There was an empty bed next to him, so Luo Jian asked Gan Nian to lie down and rest.

At first she said she would let him go to bed, but in the end she couldn't hold on, so she had to sniff for a while.

She recognized the bed, slept quietly, woke up from time to time, and didn't have a good rest for a night.

The next morning, Gan Nian received a call from Xu Huaishen, who said she was in the hospital and he came to find her.

When she appeared in front of him with a dark circle, he hugged her with heartache: "Didn't you sleep well last night?"

She squinted her eyes and nodded.

Gan Qing happened to come and saw them both saying, "I'm deeply impressed, otherwise you can take Niannian to have some breakfast. Niannian, you can go back to rest after breakfast.

Grandma's surgery is over and you come back, it's nothing to do."

"good."

Xu Huaishen drove here, Gan Nian got into the car, sat in the passenger seat and closed his eyes.

Seeing her sleepy look, he couldn't help but smile and helped her to turn her seat back to a comfortable position.

Gan Nian glanced for a while and then vaguely felt the car door being opened, someone was untiing her seat belt, and then picked her up from the seat.

She opened her eyes, and what caught her eye was Xu Huainian's face and the quiet surroundings. She was confused: "Why are you..."

"Be good, close your eyes with peace of mind."

His voice was very soft.

Gan Nian nodded, hooked his neck, and was hugged by him.

He took her home.

He was the only one in the family. He carried her to the guest room, put her on the bed, and covered her with a quilt.

"Um..." She moved, and Xu Huaishen said in her ear: "Sleep well, I won't quarrel at you for now."

He gently kissed her lips and helped her tuck her quilt. He turned on the heater again when he was afraid that she would catch a cold and then left the room.

——

By the time Gan Nian woke up, it was almost twelve o'clock noon. She looked at her phone and didn't expect to have been sleeping for so long.

She sat up and looked at the familiar arrangement in the room and knew that she had arrived at Xu Huaishen's house.

She left the room, called his name, and Xu Huaishen came out of the study.

"Niannian wakes up?

Have you been sleeping full?"

He put his arms around her waist.

She nodded and leaned against him: "I feel much more comfortable, I'm just a little hungry..."

"Sorry, I don't know when you wake up, so I didn't cook, why don't we order takeout?

What do you want to eat?"

He took out his cell phone.

Gan Nian laughed, "I want to eat meat to replenish energy."

"Okay, you can eat whatever you want."

After ordering the takeaway, Xu Huaishen put his phone away, put his hand on her waist, and murmured to her name: "Niannian——"

Her heart trembled and she took the initiative to kiss his lips.

His tongue quickly knocked on her bald teeth, rolling up the clear mint smell, making people focus.

She gasped and pushed him away, "I want to take a shower."

"bath?"

"Well, I was in the hospital last night and felt uncomfortable."

She kissed his chin and said in a pleasing manner: "Would you please kiss me again when you come back?"

"It's not as simple as kissing when I come back."

A shameful clip flashed through Gan Nian's mind, and she quickly turned her face away and pushed him away. He smiled and stopped teasing her: "Okay, I'll take you to get your clothes."

After taking a shower, she put on a dark blue nightgown that Xu Huaishen usually wore, with the faint smell of soap on his body. She came out and the takeaway had arrived.

When Xu Huaishen saw her, he glanced down and noticed her bare feet. He frowned and pulled her to the bedroom: "Let's go, take you to wear socks."

Gan Nian sat on the bed. He took the socks and squatted in front of her, putting her feet on. She was embarrassed: "I'll do it myself..."

"Sit down."

Gan Nian put her feet on his legs. She looked at the seriousness and tenderness between his eyebrows, and her heart was moved: "You said you are good to me like this and you will take care of me as a child."
