Always By Your Side Chapter 1.2

The room was about 20 square meters in size, simple and warm decoration, bed, wardrobe, desk, and a beige single sofa, a few pots of spider orchids on the small balcony, may be because of the hot weather or because no one cared for them, their leaves had turned awkward. Everything was the same, exactly as she had left it four years ago… Although she studied in the university for four years, every winter and summer vacation, she will come and talk with her uncle Sheng Hua. But this room… she really didn't enter it in the past four years.

Cheng Yuan Yuan lied on the bed - and said to herself: "Coming back here…I really can't afford it. Hey, I must work hard to make money and reduce the pressure on my mother. And I won't be a burden to Uncle Sheng Hua. It's troublesome. As for Cheng Bai..." At that time, someone knocked three times in rhythm on her door. She asked without opening the door, "Who?"

"I." The young voice with a low tone. It's Cheng Bai.

Cheng Yuan Yuan was in a bit of a rush: "What?"

As a result, the other party opened the door directly, and Yuan Yuan sprang up in amazement: "You, what are you doing?"

He handed her a box of medicine. When she looked at them, she found they were tablets to cure indigestion.

Looking at the person who had just handed her the medicines and left, Cheng Yuan Yuan was speechless.

During dinner, Aunt Zhu, who took care of the Cheng family, made six dishes and one soup. At the dinner table, Cheng Sheng Hua comforted Da Shu Fen with a sorrowful face: "Dear sister, during the time Yuan Yuan's grandmother is in the hospital, you can rest a.s.sured and stay here. The hospital is on my office's way. When I will go to the company, I'll drop you at the hospital every day. There are nurses in the hospital to take care of granny. Don't worry too much."

"Thank you, big brother."

Cheng Yuan Yuan looked at her mother and felt that although she was not embarra.s.sed, she was slightly cramped. She knew in her heart that her mother has always been a person who does not like to bother others. This time, if grandmother didn't have to go to the big hospital in the city for treatment, and their family wouldn't have been unaccompanied in the city, and the economic situation wouldn't have been stretched, she would've never agreed to stay at Uncle Sheng Hua's house. Back in those years, her mother had agreed that she would live with uncle Sheng Hua and attend the middle school in the city.

As Cheng Yuan Yuan was thinking about it, she didn't pay attention to what she was eating and a fishbone got stuck in her throat.

"You! This child! Can't you be careful while eating fish? Try to swallow the rice quickly." Dai Shu Fen anxiously said.

When Cheng Yuan Yuan was just about to move the chopsticks to have some rice, Cheng Bai got up and grabbed her wrist: "It is not advisable to swallow rice. You may accidentally pierce the oesophagus."

As soon as she heard this, she became scared.

Cheng Sheng Hua became worried: "Would you like to go to the hospital?"

Aunt Zhu who was in the kitchen heard the child being stuck on the fishbone, and quickly poured a small bowl of vinegar. Dai Shu Fen took it and handed it to Cheng Yuan Yuan and said, "Take this vinegar and see if it works."

Even before Cheng Bai could say anything, Yuan Yuan took the bowl from Dai Shu Fen and drank a large amount of vinegar. Even still, she cried after drinking it, the fishbone was still stuck in her throat.

Cheng Sheng Hua got up and said, "I will take her to the hospital. I am going in the garage to drive the car out. Cheng Bai, take care of your sister. And dear sister go get the health insurance card."

Cheng Yuan Yuan shook her head reflectively, but Cheng Sheng Hua had already left. She saw that her mother had also walked away, she was helpless, and as for her helplessness the fishbone and Cheng Bai each accounted for half.

Cheng Bai walked to her side, she was sitting and looked up at him with a slight alert. When Cheng Bai's cold fingers gently buckled her chin, she s.h.i.+vered.

"If you don't want to go to the hospital, then let me see."

Yuan Yuan really did not want to go to the hospital, but...

Cheng Bai lifted her chin: "Open your mouth."

She opened her mouth.

Cheng Bai squinted and said: "I can see the fishbone. You'll have to endure it." Looking at him holding a pair of chopsticks in his hand, Yuan Yuan closed her eyes immediately. At this moment, Cheng Bai was so close to her that she could clearly smell the sweet aroma of his body, which felt like the smell of a beautiful flower after rain.

 She thought of the old house in her hometown. Her father had planted a small leaf scorpion in the yard that year. When the late spring and early summer came, the blossom with white petals was overflowing with beauty, and when the rain hit it, it seemed even more refres.h.i.+ng. Suddenly a tingling made her frown, and she felt Cheng Bai's hand.

"All right."

When she opened her eyes, she saw that the chopsticks that he had used to take out the fishbone, were his. He is like a master of medicine, a high-quality student, but does he not understand health and hygiene? She felt awkward and immediately got up and ran to the bathroom at the entrance.

Cheng Bai turned and saw Dai Shu Fen holding a bag on the side of the stairs. After a minute, he said to Dai Shu Fen casually: "She is fine. I will call my dad back."

When Dai Shu Fen heard it, she nodded and said, "Okay."

In the evening, Cheng Yuan Yuan with her mobile was sitting on the sofa in her room. The door of the balcony was open, and the evening breeze came in, bringing the soul coolness.

On WeChat she sent a message to friends in her circle that she was tortured by a fishbone today. In just ten minutes, she got a large piece of "likes".

"Hey, this year, I really can't share my unhappiness with people, because it will only make others sad, and add to their unhappiness."

She recalled Cheng Bai, who had taken out her fishbone, and gave a deep sigh: "I will never touch fish again."

At this time, the sound of a cat came from downstairs, Cheng Bai raised a cat? Cheng Yuan Yuan curiously ran to the balcony and looked at it tentatively: "Fish, fish..."

As a result, the cat who did not know where it should hide that fish became squeaky. This was fun, but when she wanted to say "fish" with interest, the corner of her eyes turned to the balcony next to her's. There was a familiar figure standing there, and she became dumbfounded. She almost bit her tongue in an emergency: "You, haven't you slept yet?"

Cheng Bai faintly said, "I've not lost sight of you, I am willing to go to sleep".

Cheng Yuan Yuan knew that his previous "help" in the fishbone matter was all fake and he was pretending. The word "careful" is really not suitable for Cheng Bai. Cheng Bai, this person, in the eyes of outsiders, he is polite, but for her, he is completely ruthless, and his words are poisonous. Going back into her room Cheng Yuan Yuan became very perplexed, thinking: 'In those days when you can't see me, can't you sleep well every day?'
