Chapter 538: Chapter 538
Back in the hospital room, Jing Su noticeably struggled with low spirits.
When Jing Ruo saw it, she felt puzzled.
She moved to the side and asked Bao Jing in a low voice, “What happened? Why did his mood change so abruptly after the trip downstairs?”
Jing Ruo had always been quite attentive to her older brother’s emotions, especially knowing that undergoing such a sudden change in life could definitely affect one’s mood, which, in turn, can have a significant impact on one’s psyche.
Therefore, Jing Ruo was always worried and had even postponed her work to stay by Jing Su’s side, waiting for the international experts to reach a consensus diagnosis. She thought she could only relax and return to work if their opinions were positive.
Although they were not full siblings, Jing Ruo and Jing Su shared a strong bond because they had lived together in the sa city.
That’s why Jing Ruo understood Jing Su very well; she knew he had grown up under Jing Ce’s shadow.
Even though he beca the first to decide to break away from Jing Ce and had severed his ties with him completely, he still turned into a well-established, grounded man who could stand on his own two feet.
But there’s a phrase that, while it may sound a bit contrived, isn’t without rit—many people spend their whole lives healing from their childhood.
Everyone’s character, personality, and values are, one way or another, influenced by their childhood experiences.
Jing Ruo’s own childhood was decent since she didn’t start off living under Jing Ce. She thought her childhood was quite happy, growing up with her maternal grandparents. Although not wealthy, she felt loved and cherished.
Jing Qiao’s childhood wasn’t too bad before their mother passed away.
That’s why she and Jing Ruo both had fairly good temperants and didn’t suffer from any acute sensitivity, inferiority, or loneliness.
Bo Jingshen was doted on by a caring stepfather, so even though he was treated unfairly by his mother, the love he should have gotten from his parents was compensated for by his stepfather.
Despite this compensation, Bo Jingshen’s character still showed deficits due to the absence of maternal love.
Jing Su’s childhood was filled with Jing Ce’s shadow, so even though he had grown into an independent and stable adult, the insecurities, lack of safety, and loneliness that stemd from Jing Ce’s influence constantly lood over him, affecting his actions and decisions.
At tis, it would impact his judgnt and choices.
Jing Su’s ntality was pessimistic and unhealthy.
Jing Ruo had always known this and was also aware that such a state of mind could sotis lead to extre behavior.
So she was very concerned that so unfortunate trigger in her older brother’s life could negatively sway his emotions.
Bo Jingshen said in a low voice, “He ran into Xiao Caizi.”
“Sister Xiaozi?” Jing Ruo expressed surprise. “And that made Brother unhappy? Why? Did Sister Xiaozi ignore him? So he’s upset?”
“How could that be?” Bo Jingshen glanced towards Jing Su, “It’s him ignoring her. She even brought him food, and what did he do? He made her cry, right there, wiping her tears away. He got her all upset, and still took the food she’d made, enjoying the advantage without any remorse. He’s being terrible, just ignore him.”
Jing Ruo couldn’t help but be amused by Bo Jingshen’s words. She tried hard to suppress her smile, cleared her throat, and said, “Don’t talk about Big Brother like that; he’s had it tough, too.”
“Yeah, sure,” Bo Jingshen replied noncommittally, “as long as he doesn’t regret it.”
Jing Ruo said, “Alright, you stay here for a while. I’m going to check on Sister Xiaozi. Sigh, not one of us seems to have it easy, not one—what luck do we siblings have?”
“Don’t start,” Bo Jingshen poked her forehead, “I’m quite content. I have a wife and child, and that’s all I need.”
Jing Ruo covered her forehead, frowning at Bo Jingshen, “Bao Jingshen, do you have any idea if it were any other female celebrity with injections in their forehead, that poke of yours would have ended our sibling relationship right here.”
“If you dare to put that ssy stuff on your face, I’ll imdiately contact Jiang Su and have you banned,” Bo Jingshen also frowned, glaring at her.
Although he detested Jing Ce to the extre, he was still quite protective of his two younger sisters.
Jing Ruo waved her hand, “With my natural beauty, even I fall in love with myself, so there’s no need for that stuff.”
She said it as she walked out the door and went downstairs.
Su Lu was just coming in with Zhao Xiaole, and Jing Ruo even greeted her.
After Su Lu ca in, she asked Bo Jingshen, “Where did Ruoruo go?”
“She went downstairs to get so air; don’t worry about her,” Bo Jingshen said.
Su Lu nodded, then walked over to Jing Su’s side, “Big brother.”
“Hm?” Jing Su seed to finally snap out of his own thoughts, “Xiaolu, what is it?”
“I just heard from your chief physician that their team is going to have a consultation with the experts over there tonight. Don’t worry too much; there won’t be any problems,” Su Lu said gently and soothingly, with a power that comforted the heart.
“Hm, I’m not worried,” Jing Su’s lips curved slightly.
Su Lu looked at the food container in his hand and said, “Shall I open it for you? Yang Accompanying went back to take a shower, I’ll feed you. I saw you didn’t eat much at noon.”
Jing Su seed reluctant, his hand tightly guarding the bag holding the food container.
Hearing Su Lu’s words, he hesitated for a mont before nodding, “Okay.”
Su Lu took the bag from his hands and began to take out and open each of the food containers.
Each container was insulated, so the food inside was still warm.
The dishes inside clearly showed a lot of care in their preparation.
Seeing this, Su Lu couldn’t help but let out a very soft, almost silent sigh.
“What’s wrong?” Jing Su imdiately asked.
Su Lu thought for a mont, then decided not to hide it and said, “The food is prepared…with a lot of care.”
Miss Xiao was really good at taking care of people.
Jing Su couldn’t see. Since the incident, this was the first ti he deeply hated his inability to see, so he could only ask with a hoarse voice, “What does it look like?”
Su Lu put so of the food from the containers into a bowl with a spoon and then added so sauce, stirring it until evenly mixed.
They did not need her to feed him; the person who made the food had already thought everything through thoroughly.
Su Lu handed the spoon and bowl to him, “Try it yourself and you’ll know.”
Jing Su was silent for a mont, then scooped from the container with the spoon. Since he couldn’t see, he blindly scooped and then brought it to his mouth.
It was fish, but all the bones had been removed cleanly, and the fish flesh had been minced into small pieces, along with finely chopped vegetables.
Su Lu said, “She made all the ingredients into small pieces. The sauces were all packed separately; I mixed it with the sauce into the rice. I didn’t taste it, but I think it should be pretty good.”
Jing Su didn’t say anything, but Su Lu saw that his fingers holding the spoon turned white from the force of his grip.
