Really, Really Miss You

Chapter 35

Floured Beef Steamed in a Cup (5)

Only half an hour was needed for her to arrive outside the ground level of Toupai's apartment building.

She had reckoned that Jue Mei needed to work, and if Mo Qingcheng was alone in his room with a high fever that would not break, he would definitely need someone to take care of him. However, now that she had actually arrived here, she started to waver... She looked up towards the twenty-fourth floor, wondering how she would get up there. He should be sleeping now, right? He was fevering and probably not too alert. Would it be okay if she woke him up when he was like this?...

"Little lass, what is the matter?" asked a white-haired old lady carrying two bags stuffed with groceries. She set the bags down by her feet and felt for her key. "Did you forget your key?"

"Huh? No... My boyfriend is sleeping right now, and I..."

I was actually just wondering if I should wake him up to open the door for me...

The old lady smiled and opened the door. "Come in first."

So just like that, she got in through the door. She helped the old lady carry her bags, and to her surprise, it turned out they were both going to the twenty-fourth floor. She recalled that the last time she came, she had sighed over what a nice layout this place had. Each floor only had two units... So, this old lady should be... Toupai's neighbor across the hall?

Only now, while she was carrying these bags of laundry detergent – liquid or powder or something – did she suddenly think about this. The old lady smiled at her, "What a coincidence. Those young fellows across the hall, whose girlfriend are you?"

"I, ah... am..."

Her palms felt as if they were heating up, and she sensed this kindly gaze was looking her over interestedly. What was going on T.T?...... How come it felt like she had just met a parent or guardian and not just a neighbor? Sure enough, most elderly people were extremely cordial and nosy...

"Don't say it. Let me guess."

o(╯□╰)o Respected elder, just don't guess...

"Is it that young doctor? The one who does not really like to talk?"

"Mm..." Doesn't like to talk?

He was a voice actor, a profession that relied on speaking T.T ......

"Doctor's are good. Having a doctor in the house benefits the entire family... Oh, it seems I'm being too much of a realist with what I'm saying. That child is so serious. I took my grandson to the hospital and ran into him once. That was the first time I saw him speak a little bit more. He was scolding two parents. Those two were a young mom and dad, and they had fiery tempers. They were yelling at the nurses, saying their technique was poor, that at other hospitals, they were able to get the scalp IV in one try, but here, they could not even find a vein... They were yelling so loudly they scared my grandson. And they had rolled up their sleeves, all ready to hit the nurses...... Ah... You know, the doctor-patient relations nowadays... The other day I saw on the news..."

The old woman's topic drifted and drifted some more until it was far off from where it had originally been.

Gu Sheng was dying of curiosity over what she had heard and hurriedly pulled her back on topic. "And then? What did he say to them?"

"Oh, right. Your Little Mo, he asked, did the child have the IV in his scalp for four or five days already? Those two parents were not happy to answer, eh, and were still shouting. They said, yes, it had been five days already, and this was the first time they had such a problem. Little Mo then said, it had been so many days already, so the vein itself couldn't handle it anymore. He told them to go and cut some raw potato slices and put it on the insertion site of the needle. That would help the vein heal faster...... I listened very carefully and even tried it on my grandson. It really works..."
