186. Mom's Scent
Lu Ran looked at Su Qi lying on the hospital bed like Sleeping Beauty.
She was so tranquil and beautiful. Perhaps because she had sat in the car all day and experienced what just happened, she was now sleeping extremely sweetly, even letting out soft snores.
Fufufu…
This was her daughter. Lu Ran only felt that her heart had already melted into a puddle at this moment.
She gently stroked Su Qi’s cheek, soft and bouncy. The only flaw was that it lacked some color and looked a bit more pale.
She didn’t want to know why Su Qi had changed from a boy to a girl, from being her son to her daughter.
She only knew that the current Su Qi was her daughter, a real soft and sweet daughter.
Outside the private hospital room, Su Lujun was longingly peering inside through that small glass window.
At over 50 years old, his eyesight was no longer very clear. From so far away, he couldn’t see Su Qi’s expression at this time at all, only able to see her sleeping while hooked up to an IV!
He also really wanted to go in and see his daughter, just like Lu Ran sitting beside Su Qi. Even if he didn’t touch her, just watching her sleep would be good.
But thinking of that female doctor’s warning, Su Lujun finally chose to visit from outside. He didn’t want to hurt his daughter again.
His sneaky behavior as a middle-aged man was quickly noticed and reported by some family members next door.
The nurse, seeing his sturdy figure, even called security. Su Lujun, watching a large group of people walking towards him, just felt it was very strange!
“What are you sneaking around for?” the security guard asked.
“The injured person inside is my daughter,” Su Lujun answered. This reply was met with looks from the crowd as if he were an idiot.
Su Lujun, seeing everyone’s gazes, also found that this explanation wasn’t quite right, but it was indeed true!
“Call the police, I didn’t expect there to be thieves in the hospital!” an old lady said! The crowd also began to make a racket.
Su Lujun saw that a few people were really taking out their phones to call! But he really didn’t know how to explain at this time.
Just then, he saw Lu Ran walk out of the private room. Glancing at the crowd, she asked a bit angrily, “What’s going on? Shouldn’t the hospital be quiet? What are you making noise about?”
After two or three rounds of arguments, Lu Ran finally learned the whole story. Looking at the embarrassed Su Lujun, she just felt it was a bit funny. When had her husband ever been so aggrieved?
But after laughing for a bit, Lu Ran stopped smiling. After all, Su Lujun was currently in a period of atonement.
Before her daughter forgave him, as the mother, she also had to show a united front to the outside.
“Hurry and go home to get a change of clothes for Su Qi and me,” Lu Ran said.
“Did Little Qi bring clothes?” At the mention of Su Qi, Su Lujun felt a bit guilty, and even his voice became much quieter.
Seeing her husband become so docile, Lu Ran was a bit unable to accept it for a moment.
“If she doesn’t have any, can’t you buy some? How can you be so stingy with your retirement salary?”
Hearing this, Su Lujun’s nose almost went crooked from anger. What do you mean he’s stingy with money? Right now, all he wanted was to buy the best for Su Qi.
He said, “Just getting two pieces of clothing, is that all? Anything else?”
Lu Ran thought for a bit and suddenly remembered an important item: “Oh right, we probably need two packs of sanitary pads too!”
Hearing this, Su Lujun widened his eyes, as if he thought he was having auditory hallucinations.
You want me, a middle-aged man in his 50s, to go buy sanitary pads???
Lu Ran didn’t pay attention to whether Su Lujun heard her or not and turned to walk back into the private room.
The little nurses had already given her a pack of sanitary pads just now, so she actually wasn’t short on them. At this moment, Lu Ran just wanted to test:
Who was more important in Su Lujun’s heart, her or their daughter? After all, she had always asked Su Lujun to buy these things, but half a lifetime had passed and he never succeeded!
Su Lujun, who was currently driving home, still didn’t know that he had walked to a fork in the road where no matter which path he chose, it would be a dead end.
The sleeping Su Qi slowly woke up and heard the system girl’s voice!
“Ding, congratulations to the host for discovering the adventure mission—Training Dad!”
Seeing this name, Su Qi was dumbfounded. What’s the situation, Dad? Training? Thinking of how she was beaten just now, Su Qi subconsciously trembled.
And with this movement, there was actually a warmth down there???
What’s the situation??? The system girl jumped out to explain: “The host has already become a qualified girl. This is something that must be experienced every month. But if the host maintains reasonable eating habits, a lot of it will be alleviated!”
Su Qi covered her aching stomach, curling up into a shrimp.
Isn’t this too painful!
“Host, I already warned you that you can’t walk barefoot on the ground, can’t eat too many yin foods, can’t have such an irregular diet of only eating one meal a day, can’t…”
Hearing the system girl listing things non-stop, Su Qi just wanted to say how would she have known it would be so painful back then?
But the problem now was how to endure it. She asked the system girl, “Is there any way to alleviate the pain?”
The system girl pondered for two seconds, then said, “Yes, and it doesn’t cost money!”
Su Qi always felt that since she let the system girl play games, she had become cuter and cuter, so cute that she wanted to hug her.
Then she heard the system girl imitating her voice saying, “Mommy, it hurts…”
Su Qi widened her eyes. The system girl could actually speak out loud in reality now?
Doesn’t that mean she might take physical form one day?
With this realization, Su Qi felt very excited, but the excitement couldn’t reduce the pain.
She was still a shrimp.
Hearing Su Qi’s soft and sweet voice calling her Mommy, Lu Ran’s whole being perked up.
And that “it hurts” afterwards, wasn’t that just too cute! As expected of her daughter.
Quickly walking to the chair in front of Su Qi, seeing that she had already curled up into a shrimp, she only felt distressed beyond words.
Lu Ran very carefully took out her hand that was hooked up to the IV. Seeing that the needle hadn’t rolled, she breathed a sigh of relief.
She gently said in Su Qi’s ear, “Come, let Mommy rub your tummy, okay? The pain will go away in a bit!”
Su Qi felt a bit embarrassed. She was already so old and still needed Mom to coax her. But she also deeply yearned for the feeling of Mom.
“Mm.” Su Qi’s tiny voice was very clear in this small room. Lu Ran looked at Su Qi deliberately turning her face away and felt that this dishonest appearance was also very cute.
Half an hour later, Su Qi’s IV was finally finished. Lu Ran pressed the nurse call button. Soon, a nurse came.
Su Qi found her very familiar. Wasn’t this Nurse Xiao Rang?
Nurse Xiao Rang, seeing that it was the adorable little Su Qi, was also in a very good mood. She also looked at her resting her head on Lu Ran’s leg and joked, “Now that you have Mom, you’re not scared anymore, right?”
Only then did Su Qi realize that in this half hour, she had actually gotten closer and closer to Mom’s leg bit by bit. A blush appeared on Su Qi’s pale little face.
Nurse Xiao Rang, seeing the thin-skinned Su Qi’s face turn red from embarrassment at her teasing, just felt it was very interesting. If only she had such a shy little sister!
She gently pulled out the needle and reminded, “Don’t rub the needle hole!” (Really don’t rub it!)
Then she walked out of the room. After she left, Lu Ran softly asked, “Little Qi, does your tummy still hurt?”
Actually, Su Qi’s stomach didn’t hurt much anymore at this time. But after thinking about it, she still nodded against her true feelings.
Because she found that she really coveted Mom’s scent at this moment!
