Chapter 23 - I
Yao Wenzhu stood beside them and said with a smile, “You young lovers have something to say, so I won’t bother you here. Qiqi, you take Yizhi around.”
Xie Qi: “…Yeah.”
He looked at Qin Yizhi and said, “Husband, let me take you for a walk.”
When Xie Qi called him “husband” in a normal voice, it sounded more like he was addressing a teacher. There was no hint of charm or intimacy. Most of the time, the tone of one’s voice could inadvertently reveal their thoughts and intentions.
Therefore, Yao Wenzhu’s well wishes at this time seemed more appropriate, as the two might still be awkward.
Xie Qi pushed the wheelchair toward the avenue. Yao Wenzhu stood there smiling and watching them go. Xie Qi looked back at her and saw her standing there with a smile, with an indescribable pitiful look. He couldn’t help but say to Qin Yizhi, “Husband, at your age, you still make your mother worry so much. You should be nicer to her in the future.”
Qin Yizhi didn’t say anything but just reached out to the wheelchair and operated it, and the wheelchair sped forward on its own.
Xie Qi’s hands froze in the air as he stood in place.
Damn it, this was actually an electric wheelchair!
Xie Qi hurriedly chased after Qin Yizhi, fearing that he would bump into someone, but obviously his worries were unnecessary. When someone came toward the wheelchair, Qin Yizhi would also control the wheelchair to dodge, and the whole movement was smooth.
Xie Qi was dumbfounded, but soon became anxious -no, what would he do if something bad happened?
Xie Qi felt a little suffocated just thinking about this. Yao Wenzhu would be angry. He didn’t dare to think too much and ran faster to catch up with Qin Yizhi.
But Xie Qi never knew that an electric wheelchair could move so fast, almost 120 yards. The hospital road was very wide, making it easy for cars to pass, so Qin Yizhi could speed along the road more smoothly.
Xie Qi was breaking out in a cold sweat. Just looking at it made him feel anxious. How dare he drive a wheelchair like a car on the road!!!!
Xie Qi’s whole body was mobilized. He took off his baseball cap and held it in his hands before running toward him.
Fortunately, he was wearing school uniform and loose trousers, so he could chase comfortably Qin Yizhi for hundreds of yards on the wide hospital road. After entering high school, he spent all day studying in the classroom, and his physical condition had deteriorated compared to before. Moreover, his home was very close to the school, so he didn’t get much exercise at all. Although he could move freely but time he almost ran out of breath.
.
Panting, he caught up with Qin Yizhi – not because he caught up quickly, but because Qin Yizhi stepped on the brakes and stopped the wheelchair. Qin Yizhi actually stopped during the process. The wheelchair drifted in a circle, and Qin Yizhi faced Xie Qi.
Xie Qi caught up with him, almost paralyzed. He grabbed the push rail behind the wheelchair, panting, his whole-body red, his eyes wet with tears, and he said breathlessly, “You, you’re very dangerous to drive like this, do you know?”
Qin Yizhi looked at his embarrassed appearance and said in a hoarse but calm voice, “Exercise more.”
After hearing this, Xie Qi was stunned for a moment. After a while, he calmed down and said, “You want me to exercise more? Is that why you’re pushing me around like this?”
Qin Yizhi closed his eyes, adopting a posture of wanting to rest his mind.
Xie Qi remained silent for a moment. His mouth was dry, and his eyes hurt. He reached for eye drops to soothe his dry eyes. Feeling much better, he finally spoke, “It’s too dangerous for you to do this. If you want me to exercise, just tell me. I can run for ten minutes if I wake up early.”
This was to exercise his body and increase his endurance. He had fully grasped the Buddha’s psychology.
Putting on his baseball cap, Xie Qi held the push rail again and said, “I’ll take you back.”
After running around, he was sweating all over, it felt much better indeed.
His health was really deteriorating. He used to be in good shape and worked during winter and summer vacations in junior high school. But he didn’t like working for others, so he often found ways to make money on his own, such as working with Fan Qingyue and Li Siwen. The two of them wholesaled mineral water together, carrying boxes one by one up the mountain. He could carry four boxes of mineral water back and forth four times. At that time, he was tired at most, but his body was in good condition and he could endure.
Now, after running for a while, he felt almost exhausted. It was indeed worrying. It wouldn’t be Qin Yizhi who suddenly died in bed, but him.
Well, just thinking about it made him feel sad, so he might as well stop.
Xie Qi pushed Qin Yizhi back. Yao Wenzhu was no longer there. He wanted to send a message to Yao Wenzhu to ask, but Qin Yizhi said, “Go back.”
Xie Qi’s thoughts were interrupted, and he did not think of sending a message to Yao Wenzhu for a moment. He pushed Qin Yizhi back to the ward without complaint.
