"Miss Qiao, the swelling on your wrist has gone down. Just rest and recover now, and co back regularly for checkups," the doctor in the hospital room smiled at Qiao Sixiao, and stole a glance at He Hong before continuing,
"But rest is very important for you at this stage. Try to avoid moving your wrist, and pay attention to nutrition in your diet, but also avoid too much oil and salt..."
The doctor carefully went through all the precautions, and Qiao Sixiao was officially discharged from the hospital, since she didn't need surgery anymore and could just recuperate at ho.
Before leaving, the doctor still couldn't help but admonish He Hong:
"The function of her right hand is still very important. Miss Qiao is young, and leaving chronic issues would not be good. Making money should not be rushed."
He Hong didn't say anything, just glanced at her lightly, and then said to Qiao Sixiao:
"I'll take you ho."
...
The two of them were silent the whole way. It wasn't until they got in the elevator that He Hong spoke first:
"There's a cocktail party tonight that I was planning to cancel. I've rescheduled my plans for the next few days to co take care of you."
"No need."
Qiao Sixiao kept her head low,
"You should spend this ti with Hong Dou instead, since he loves you most in the family, and you're only gentle with him. Usually you're so busy, and he always says on video calls that he misses you."
"But..."
"No buts. I just can't move my wrist, it doesn't affect my life at all. If you really want to help , then let recuperate alone. Don't co manage before I'm able to work again."
After Qiao Sixiao finished speaking, the elevator door happened to open. He Hong followed her to the door, but was stopped by Qiao Sixiao.
He Hong didn't step forward, just said to her:
"I don't have any urgent work recently. Just focus on recovering, you can ask Xiao Wang for help if you need anything, or have her move in...nevermind, I know you won't agree..."
Speaking, He Hong glanced into the house, her gaze falling on the fish tank at the entrance,
"Raising fish?"
Qiao Sixiao raised her eyebrows:
"Very strange?"
"Not really..."
He Hong looked further in, but her view was blocked by Qiao Sixiao. She lowered her head again, and saw the four big characters "Daily Improvent."
He Hong was stunned for a mont, and couldn't help but laugh:
"Didn't expect to see these things in your ho..."
"You should go take care of your things, I'm tired."
Qiao Sixiao had already shown impatience on her face.
After He Hong left, she closed the door and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Walking into the living room, she saw that dinner was already laid out neatly on the coffee table.
But the person who cooked was not there. The house was very quiet.
Just now when opening the door, she was on tenterhooks, afraid that person would suddenly pop out and He Hong would interfere in her life again. But it didn't happen.
Qiao Sixiao opened the curtains. No one was on the balcony.
She went to the bedroom. Still no one.
The closet, ho gym, bathroom, all empty.
Finally turning back to the kitchen, she discovered the person busy at work behind the kitchen island.
If you didn't co inside, her location would be a blind spot.
"What are you doing?"
Qiao Sixiao asked her,
"I was looking for you for half a day and you didn't even say anything."
"I heard your mom talking at the door."
Qin Wei replied absentmindedly, then continued looking at the manual in her hand. She turned her head and told Qiao Sixiao,
"I bought a coffee machine."
Qiao Sixiao: "..."
Speechless. This dog buys so many things every day, there are still unopened packages in the storage room.
Qiao Sixiao didn't want to respond to her words, just said:
"Wash your hands, I want to eat."
"Oh, oh, okay..."
Qin Wei pulled her to the kitchen sink, rinsed her hands carelessly, then went back to studying her manual, while asking Qiao Sixiao,
"Do you know how to use this? It seems a bit complicated to ?"
No response. She turned her head to look, and the person had already gone back to the living room to eat.
Ten minutes later Qin Wei ca out with a cup of coffee. Qiao Sixiao had already finished eating, and was sitting there watching a movie. Seeing her co over, Qiao Sixiao pointed at the coffee table:
"Put it here, I'll drink it in a bit..."
"Keep dreaming. I was researching the coffee machine while you didn't help at all. Now you want to enjoy the fruits of labor!"
Qin Wei sat down and drank a couple sips,
"Don't even think about it. No smoking, drinking, coffee or tea until your injury is better. Give up this idea. You can also quit smoking and drinking..."
Qiao Sixiao hurried to correct:
"I drink alcohol, but when did I start smoking?"
"I've seen it before."
Qin Wei blurted out. Then she doubted herself,
"I seem to have this impression, but can't rember clearly. Always think of things that did or didn't happen. Forget it, just pretend I rembered wrong."
She stood up again to unpack packages, and unpacked a gift box. She happily brought it over to show Qiao Sixiao:
"I bought a limited edition bath bomb set! It looks really nice, let open it to show you. How do you open this?"
She looked up at Qiao Sixiao, seeking help.
Qiao Sixiao drank coffee and watched the movie:
"If you have a brain then use your brain first. If you don't have a brain then smash it open directly. Don't always bother ."
...
Using your brain is tiring, but brute force is different. Qin Wei went to the storage room to get a hamr, and opened the exquisite little lock on the gift box with one hit.
Inside were nine high-end dostic brand bath bombs total. Qin Wei chose a "Black Rose," then called Qiao Sixiao to co to the bathroom together to see the bath bomb dissolve.
The bathtub was already filled with water. Under Qiao Sixiao's gaze, Qin Wei placed the bath bomb in the water, then they watched together as the clear water gradually turned into colorful black.
Qiao Sixiao: "..."
Qin Wei: "..."
"Slls pretty good."
Qin Wei tried hard to make up for it.
Qiao Sixiao dipped her fingertips in the black water, shook her hand disdainfully, then got up to leave the bathroom:
"You take your bath. Rember to scrub the tub after, and if you can't scrub it completely clean, replace it for . Not counting shipping and renovation fees, this tub cost 300,000 RMB...
Also, if you can't scrub this tub pillow completely clean, replace this for too!!"
Bathing took ten minutes, scrubbing the tub took two hours.
But the tub pillow really couldn't be scrubbed clean. Qin Wei painfully spent a few hundred RMB to buy her a new one.
...
After her bath, Qiao Sixiao lay on a lounge chair on the balcony, slling the light fragrance of jasmine flowers, looking at the flickering stars in the sky. She had finally fulfilled her little wish.
Suddenly the scent of roses covered the jasmine fragrance.
"Hey Teacher Qiao, want so juice?"
Qin Wei spoke while sitting down next to her, placing a glass of freshly squeezed juice on the table.
Qiao Sixiao waved her hand, then tried to act casual:
"You said I smoke cigarettes...of course you may have just dread it. Can you elaborate on that?"
Qin Wei looked out the window and softly said:
"Can't rember clearly. Just at the mont of speaking, it seed like I recalled sothing, but things from the past are so ssy in my head. Sotis when I rember sothing, it still doesn't feel real..."
Qin Wei lay on the lounge chair and turned to look at Qiao Sixiao,
"It's weird. Sotis I feel like I'm , sotis I feel like I'm not."
"It doesn't matter who you are."
Qiao Sixiao also looked at her, then still looked out the window,
"If you can't rember then don't keep thinking about it. Just let things happen naturally. No matter what, I'm here. It's just..."
"Just what?"
"Can you be a little more rational when happy shopping, instead of only impulsive buying?"
Qiao Sixiao asked her very sincerely.
"?"
"It's not that I'm stingy, but you buy too much stuff. The property manager and security guards look at very wearily now."
Before Qin Wei could reply, her phone rang—
