TURNS OUT I'M CRAZY (bl)

TOIC Chapter 5

When Lu Zhengfei had just returned to Chen Qianqing’s ward with Liu Huamei, Chen Qianqing was curled up into his blanket, sleeping.

After Lu Yiqin had left, Lu Zhengfei had asked the nurse to change his sheets so the water stains from earlier were all gone. But it was no matter even if they were not there, Chen Qianqing had his own way of making Lu Zhengfei notice.

“Qianqing, wake up, if you keep sleeping you won’t be able to fall asleep at night.” Liu Hua Mei spoke in a gentle tone: “Get up, quickly, mom is here with fish.”

Only then did Chen Qianqing open his eyes groggily. He reached out to rub his eyes and got up from bed.

It was the month of May, so the weather was not too cold. Qianqing did not wear much to begin with, so moving his arms now, he revealed the red marks on them. The surrounding skin was all pale, so the colour contrasted it very strongly.

“Qianqing, what happened to your arm?” Liu Huamei immediately noticed the marks on his arm, and asked: “Did you get scalded by something?”

Chen Qianqing smiled: “It’s nothing, just an accident.”

Hearing this, Lu Zhengfei raised a brow: “When did you burn yourself?” Chen Qianqing had been in bed all day and did not have to touch anything hot, how could he get scalded?

Chen Qianqing shot a glance at Lu Zhengfei, and responded plainly: “I accidentally burned myself when I was drinking water.”

Hearing his cursory answer, Lu Zhengfei had quite obviously revealed a look of displeasure. Since Liu Huamei was here, he did not say anything more.

“Goodness, my dear child, how could you be so clumsy?” Liu Huamei nagged: “Just look at your arm! I’ll bring you over some medicine tonight.”

Chen Qianqing nodded.

Liu Huamei had brought over some steamed crucian carp as well as crucian carp soup, as well as some side dishes. This made Chen Qianqing’s appetite improve, it was rare for him to ever finish anything that had been brought to him.

A boy should be eating his most at his twenties, but Chen Qianqing would eat very little. Seeing this, Lu Zhengfei was unhappy, so seeing how he had eaten most of what his mother had prepared him, he was feeling better.

“Mom, have you eaten?” After finishing his meal, Chen Qianqing wiped his mouth and asked.

“I’ve eaten.” Liu Huamei sat by Chen Qianqing’s side. Seeing that he had finished his meal, her eyes narrowed with joy: “You’re so blessed to have a good friend like Lu Zhengfei, he ordered delivery and we’ve both eaten.”

Hearing this, Chen Qianqing turned to look at Lu Zhengfei. What he got in return was a pair of eyes filled with mirth. Chen Qianqing pretended he never saw that and turned his eyes away as if nothing had happened.

“The doctor said you can be discharged after a few days.” Liu Huamei continued: “But you have to use a wheelchair for some time……You better not let your grades drop.”

Grades? Chen Qianqing has not been to school in three months, but Liu Huamei had thought that her son had only taken a few days of leave instead. Chen Qianqing: “I know mom, don’t worry.”

Seeing that the mother and son pair were having their talk, Lu Zhengfei decided to excuse himself: “Auntie, you should stay and chat with Qianqing, I’ll be going out for a while.” Liu Huamei nodded cheerfully. From her perspective, Lu Zhengfei could not have been a better friend. He was enthusiastic, thoughtful, and caring towards Chen Qianqing. If he was not male, Liu Huamei would have been suspicious about whether he liked Chen Qianqing or not.
