Chapter 1410 - 1407: When Will You Teach Me?
The next day, sunlight spilled onto the windowsill, adding a touch of warmth to the desolate hospital room.
"Zi Ruoxi, what are you doing!" Qiao Muyun’s gentle voice echoed from behind.
"Brother Qiao Muyun! You’re here!" Zi Ruoxi replied cheerfully, turning her head. Her masked face appeared slightly unnatural. However, it didn’t affect her good mood as she picked up the small, colorful things she made, held them in her palms, and slowly said, "Look, I made these. How are they, not bad right?"
"Stars?" Qiao Muyun said with some excitement, realizing he had no idea she could make such things.
"Yes. Are they pretty?" Zi Ruoxi inquired.
"Beautiful. My Zi Ruoxi is really skillful, a true designer with hands that can draw and fold, haha, when will you teach me!" Qiao Muyun praised.
"Uh... teach you! Brother Qiao Muyun, why do you want to learn this? I’m just bored and passing the time. Otherwise, without something to do, I would go crazy." Zi Ruoxi laughed with a sigh. Her tone wasn’t heavy at all, rather quite relaxed.
"Me... haha..." Qiao Muyun laughed twice, blinked mysteriously, then picked up a star to examine it closely, leaving Zi Ruoxi looking at him perplexed, wondering what he could possibly find in a star - strange, as if he saw it as a gold diamond.
"Learn to make some and sell them for money! Hehehe..." Qiao Muyun said seriously, without an exaggerated expression on his face.
She nearly fainted on the spot! Zi Ruoxi was truly impressed. In just a few days, her Brother Qiao Muyun had become so playful! The saying "one day apart feels like a complete change" was absolutely true! Oh, it should be revised to "one night apart" perhaps! Seems like they always meet during the day, haha.
"Brother Qiao Muyun, you’ve learned to be practical too! Not bad, not bad, your mind is becoming more business-minded. You’re making progress!" Zi Ruoxi teased enthusiastically, her big eyes full of laughter.
The other person genuinely took on her words with pleasure.
"Thank you to the great designer for the praise! I can’t help it, my mind isn’t great, so I need to learn some skills to make a living! Haha..." Qiao Muyun laughed.
"Hahaha... Hahaha..." Zi Ruoxi was amused by him, laughing hard, clutching her stomach for a while before speaking, "Brother Qiao Muyun, stop teasing me, will you? This is so funny it’ll kill me! Instead of learning this, why not sell flowers? I guarantee you’ll make a fortune on Valentine’s Day, enough to live for a few months."
Selling flowers? This little girl is quite imaginative, asking him, a handsome guy, to sell flowers, imagining himself standing on the road holding a large bouquet of roses, carrying something like a basket, shouting "selling flowers, selling flowers!" with clueless passersby gathered around him, wondering if he’s escaped from some mental hospital.
Consider such embarrassing scenes, and he could bet that Qiao Muyun would be mortified instantly. Is it selling people or selling flowers!
"Alright, better to not go that way, selling stars instead of flowers!" Qiao Muyun replied with a smile, quickly changing the topic, remembering something he had to do later, "Zi Ruoxi, shall we go to the rear garden to see the lake today?"
"Sure!" Zi Ruoxi replied with a radiant smile. Having been stirred up by Qiao Muyun, she felt incredibly pleasant. Moreover, she missed that lake quite a bit.
"It’s the usual routine, wait a minute, okay!" Qiao Muyun gave her a sly smile, then turned around and left the room.
Zi Ruoxi didn’t answer, just smiled. He still treated her like a handicapped person! Haha!
Soon enough, an automatic wheelchair was pushed in, and this time Zi Ruoxi didn’t let Qiao Muyun carry her; she eagerly got on it, sitting gracefully.
Qiao Muyun gave her a smile, pushing the wheelchair out of the room, and heading towards the hospital’s rear garden. While pushing, they didn’t say much; Zi Ruoxi rarely goes outside, engrossed in the scenery, and attracting attention as they went, especially since Zi Ruoxi was wearing a mask. Passersby gave her curious glances she might have found bothersome before, but it seemed she was no longer bothered now. Her mood was more open.
Previously, she had some reservation about her overly beautiful appearance, which was indeed too captivating. Even when she deliberately cut her hair short to resemble a mature sister, it couldn’t hide her seductive charm, causing her considerable trouble. Imagine, if not for her flawless appearance, she might have been happier... But, this face was from her parents, nothing she could do, and now it’s just ruined, reducing her entanglement with romance. Maybe it’s not all bad!
Perhaps due to such unconventional comforting thoughts, Zi Ruoxi wasn’t too tangled up over the disfigurement, unlike many girls who would cry and agonize excessively. Embracing the idea of going with the flow, her mood naturally improved greatly.
At that moment, while Zi Ruoxi wasn’t paying attention, Qiao Muyun’s gaze suddenly darted to a corner, spotting the one he was expecting. He waved, then pointed at the wheelchair, clearly indicating for the person to replace him in pushing her.
Without another word, the person rushed over like a gust of wind, yet approached with light steps, taking over the wheelchair from Qiao Muyun. A single look exchanged between brothers was enough to understand everything. OK! Success hinges on this one move.
......
Sitting in the wheelchair, with someone pushing from behind, this feeling of being served was quite pleasant! The wind gently brushed her cheeks, watching the lush green grass, the elegant willow trees, and the fragrant potted plants, wow, what a sight!
Especially by the lakeside, where the rippling water occasionally accompanied by one or two leisurely boats made it truly picturesque. If she were a painter, she’d certainly wield her brush lavishly; if she were a writer, she’d passionately express herself, but alas, she was neither.
Hehehe, hehe...
Not being a painter or writer didn’t really matter! She could still record this beautiful moment.
Zi Ruoxi took out her phone from her jacket pocket, adjusted it, and silently photographed the scene before her, capturing the scenic beauty completely. At this moment, engrossed in photography, she was entirely unaware of any changes behind her.
"Brother Qiao Muyun, could you push a little forward? I want to capture the boats in the lake ahead." Zi Ruoxi said as she held her phone.
