Chapter Index

    Chapter 2 Cheng Xiang, the bachelor whose heart was stolen from the village, serves as a pointer…

    When the pointer reached two o’clock, Cheng Cheng knocked on Wei Zhi’s door on time: “Mr. Wei, get up.”

    No one responded for a long time. Cheng Cheng was a little worried, so he pushed the door open and went in.

    Wei Zhi was already awake, but not fully awake. He was leaning on the bedside with a dazed expression, as if he was still dreaming.

    Seeing Cheng Cheng come in, Wei Zhi showed a standard smile: “Good afternoon.”

    “Good afternoon, Mr. Wei,” Cheng Cheng remembered to do his duty and put the milk he was carrying on the bedside. “Aunt Lan asked me to bring the milk. You can drink it while it’s hot.”

    There was still fatigue on Wei Zhi’s face, and Cheng Cheng guessed that he might have slept stiffly. He might need someone else to help him change his position or turn sideways, but the nurse hadn’t arrived yet.

    Cheng Cheng was completely able to do these things, but he thought Mr. Wei might not be willing, so Cheng Cheng said sensibly: “Does Mr. Wei have any other instructions?”

    The implication is that if nothing happens, I will go down by myself.

    Wei Zhi’s entire body was sore, especially his thighs and calves, which showed signs of cramping.

    The nurse Xiao Lin just sent him a message to arrive late because it was summer vacation. The children were accidentally injured while playing and are now being sent to the hospital.

    Of course Wei Zhi could understand Xiao Lin, but now his whole body was numb and he could only lean on the bedside with all his strength. He had no strength to move himself to the wheelchair.

    He usually doesn’t want to wear diapers and only wears a changing pad. Now he has a vague feeling of urinating, but he can only urinate on the changing pad and stinks the quilt.

    Wei Zhi didn’t hear clearly what Cheng Cheng was saying, as if all this was caused by Xiao Lin, he began to blame Xiao Lin in his heart, and even thought about whether to deduct Xiao Lin’s salary.

    Cheng Cheng looked at Wei Zhi’s increasingly pale face and seemed to understand what he was thinking.

    He lifted Wei Zhi’s quilt and put his thin and strong arms around his waist: “Mr. Wei, I’m sorry.”

    The whole process only took a few seconds, and before Wei Zhi could react, he was moved to a wheelchair.

    Cheng Cheng had already squatted down and started massaging his thighs with skillful techniques and just the right amount of force. It was even more comfortable than Xiao Lin’s.

    “Mr. Wei, your muscles are very tense. I need to help you relax your muscles first, and then you can urinate after a while.”

    Things that Wei Zhi was ashamed to say came out of Cheng Cheng’s mouth easily.

    Wei Zhi’s throat was a little dry: “Xiao Cheng, you don’t have to do this.”

    Cheng Cheng said helplessly: “I’m a grown man, so I can’t let you take care of me in vain. I’m a ready-made caregiver, so I can’t take care of you in vain if I don’t use it.”

    He really couldn’t see Wei Zhi suffering silently alone. He couldn’t help but think of his miserable mother who didn’t live a good life for a few days.

    Even through his pajamas, Cheng Cheng could still feel Wei Zhi’s shriveled muscles. He could imagine what a pair of powerful legs they used to be. Baidu Encyclopedia also said that Wei Zhi was 1.85 meters tall.

    Cheng Cheng’s massage was very detailed, even taking care of the toes.

    Suddenly, Wei Zhi interrupted him: “Xiao Cheng, it’s okay, I… want to pee.”

    Cheng Cheng nodded, helped him straighten his body again, and put on the waist support: “You go to the toilet.”

    Cheng Cheng did not push Wei Zhi to the toilet. He thought that Wei Zhi would rather control the wheelchair to the toilet by himself.

    In the barrier-free toilet, Wei Zhi can move himself to the toilet with his arm strength.

    He finished using the toilet without saying anything and found that Cheng Cheng was no longer there, probably because Aunt Lan had called him there.

    Wei Zhi gently stroked his legs, recalling how focused Cheng Cheng was when he was massaging him. Suddenly, he made fists with both hands and punched his legs hard, causing his weak muscles to tremble wildly.

    Cheng Cheng has started to use the Xindi vacuum cleaner, humming a song and feeling very happy.

    He didn’t know that Wei Zhi’s situation was different from his mother’s. Wei Zhi had subtle sensations and could feel someone kneading his legs, but his brain couldn’t mobilize the nerves to react.

    Nurse Xiaolin is a married beta mother in her thirties. She had just given birth to a baby and had failed interviews everywhere. After being introduced by Wei Zhi’s former manager, she accidentally became Wei Zhi’s nurse.

    Today she sent her son to the hospital again and had to appease her daughter. She was really busy. The child’s father was also working hard, so she had no choice but to inform Wei Zhi of the time change at short notice.

    But just as she hurried to 1102, she received a message from Wei Zhi telling her that she was fired.

    Xiaolin panicked. She needed this salary. She also had a pair of twins to raise and a mortgage and car loan to repay. Her husband’s salary alone was not enough to support the family.

    Xiao Lin still rang the doorbell of 1102.

    Wei Zhi has always been a talkative boss who is polite to others. During the Chinese New Year, she even gave big red envelopes to her two children. Xiao Lin wanted to try again.

    “Nurse Xiao Lin, you came a little late today.” Aunt Lan opened the door. She knew Wei Zhi’s situation and couldn’t help but blame Xiao Lin a little, but seeing her sweating profusely and looking in a hurry, she was too embarrassed to say anything more.

    Before Xiao Lin had time to change his shoes and go upstairs, Wei Zhi took the elevator to the first floor.

    Cheng Cheng saw that Wei Zhi had put on new house pants, and he couldn’t help but imagine how hard it was for him to change pants alone. He had already put Wei Zhi’s face on his mother’s body.

    When Xiao Lin saw Wei Zhi, he lowered his head guiltily, more out of fear of losing his job: “Mr. Wei, please be patient. You also know the situation in my family. How can I raise two children without this job?”

    Wei Zhi’s face was expressionless, just like a boss who treats an employee who made a mistake harshly. He looked a bit fierce, completely different from the gentle man Cheng Cheng saw at noon in the morning.

    “Am I still responsible for raising your child until he is eighteen years old?” Wei Zhi asked back, “Xiao Lin, you still haven’t figured out what happened today. You don’t need to come. I will ask Sister Zhang to help me find another caregiver.”

    Xiao Lin was completely panicked: “Mr. Wei, Sister Zhang told me that you have no spare person to use, and you can’t fire me!”

    Wei Zhi maneuvered the wheelchair closer to Xiao Lin: “Are you threatening me? Xiao Lin.”

    “No, no, Mr. Wei, I came here today to apologize to you and ask you to give me another chance.” Xiao Lin couldn’t help but started to cry. She turned to Aunt Lan and Cheng Cheng, “Both of you, please help me speak.”

    Aunt Lan also has children herself. Although they are already grown, she still brings them into her life, which makes her feel a little distressed.

    “Mr. Wei, why don’t we just forget about it this time? Xiao Lin… it’s really not easy.”

    Xiao Lin nodded sharply and looked at Cheng Cheng, hoping that he could also say something nice.

    Cheng Cheng originally just wanted to stay out of the matter. He met Xiao Lin for the first time today. Although he heard some stories from Aunt Lan about the situation of Xiao Lin’s family, he agreed with Wei Zhi’s approach and knew that people like Wei Zhi who were paralyzed from the waist down could not lack people around them.

    As Wei Zhi’s caregiver, Xiao Lin never put herself in his shoes. She didn’t know how painful Wei Zhi was.

    Everyone said nothing and seemed to be holding their breath to listen to what Cheng Cheng wanted to say.

    Cheng Cheng stood still, clenched his hands with his hands hanging by his side, and said slowly: “Xiao Lin, I also think you should be fired. As a mother, it’s okay for you to think about your children first, but you don’t have a good balance between work and life. You are disturbed by trivial matters every day, and you may not have the energy to balance it.”

    “As a nurse, it is not like an ordinary job. You are the one who is needed. Your momentary inattention may cause physical and mental torture to the patient. I am stupid and can’t say anything nice. I just feel that you don’t have the heart.”

    After Cheng Cheng finished speaking, the living room became quieter. He couldn’t help but look at Wei Zhi, who was lazily leaning on the back of the chair and couldn’t see his expression clearly, but there happened to be a ray of sunlight hitting the side of his face, and he could clearly see the raised eyelashes and the beautiful curve of his eyelids.

    After a long time, Xiaolin’s sobbing gradually stopped. She calmed down a lot and finally said: “Thank you, Mr. Wei, for taking care of me in the past two years…”

    Wei Zhi moved his lips: “Well, you can ask Secretary He to settle this month’s salary.”

    “Goodbye Mr. Wei.” Xiao Lin bowed and left quickly.

    After Xiao Lin left, both Cheng Cheng and Aunt Lan breathed a sigh of relief. The atmosphere just now was really tense, for fear that she would say something disrespectful to Mr. Wei again.

    “Mr. Wei, I haven’t bought the ingredients for dinner yet. It’s too late because Xiao Lin made such a fuss just now. I’m afraid there won’t be any good food left. I’ll leave first.”

    Aunt Lan slapped her head, picked up the shopping basket and went out. Now only Cheng Cheng and Wei Zhi were left in the living room.

    Cheng Cheng was a little embarrassed. He said what he just said in a fit of excitement. He didn’t know if Wei Zhi would think he was heartless or something.

    Wei Zhi pushed the wheelchair into the living room, turned to Cheng Cheng’s side, narrowed his beautiful eyes, and smiled slightly: “Did I just scare you?”

    Cheng Cheng shook his head: “No, I just think what Xiaolin did was wrong.”

    “Oh, it seems you feel the same way.” Wei Zhi teased.

    Cheng Cheng shook his head faster: “No, no, no, I definitely didn’t mean that. You and my mother are different!”

    Wei Zhi asked with interest: “Why is it different? She and I are both paralyzed, so what’s the difference?”

    “Of course it’s different. During the first two years of my mother’s paralysis, she was in a state of complete self-destruction. She wouldn’t let anyone get close to her, and she even attempted suicide more than a dozen times. It was only in the third year that she slowly recovered and was willing to communicate with me.”

    Cheng Cheng recalled, “But you are in such good condition. You face life and treatment optimistically and positively. You are simply a good model patient! If the family members of paralyzed patients could see you, they would definitely have greater hope!”

    “Haha,” Wei Zhi said with a smile, “So I am so great in your eyes.”

    “Yeah.” Cheng Cheng realized that he was being teased, and his voice was as light as a mosquito bite.

    Wei Zhi pointed to the sofa: “I have something to tell you. Please sit down first. I’m not used to talking to others with my head raised.”

    Cheng Cheng sat down obediently.

    “I just want to say thank you,” Wei Zhi raised his eyes, “You gave me a good massage before, but now that Xiaolin is gone, I really need to find someone to help me before I can find another caregiver. I don’t know if you are willing, but the salary is the same as Xiaolin’s.”

    So that’s what I wanted to say.

    Who would mind making too much money?

    Cheng Cheng firmly agreed: “Of course there is no problem. In order to take care of my mother, I have both a nursing certificate and a health certificate. Don’t worry, I will get it done properly.”

    Wei Zhi looked at the serious look on his face and was touched for a moment: “There is one more thing. My thirtieth birthday is next week. I hope we can get the marriage certificate before then.”

    “Ah?” Cheng Cheng was a little confused. Wei Zhi’s topic jumped too quickly.

    Wei Zhi said seriously: “If you want a proposal or a wedding, I can do that, but my situation may not allow me to kneel down on one knee.”

    Cheng Cheng became even more panicked and said quickly: “No need to do it. The matter of getting the certificate is stipulated in the contract. I definitely agree. I can do it whenever you are free.”

    Wei Zhi felt that Cheng was like a young sika deer and a little dull, so he was finally willing to let him go: “Then let’s go together this Friday afternoon.”

    “Okay, okay.”

    Cheng Cheng stared blankly at Wei Zhi’s leaving figure, like a bachelor in the village whose heart had been stolen, and thought he was really good-looking.

    It turns out that he really wants to get married before he turns thirty. Would someone like Wei Zhi also take advantage of loopholes to avoid taxes?

    Cheng Cheng couldn’t understand the thinking of rich people, so he continued to clean with the extremely useful and expensive vacuum cleaner, feeling sad in his heart.

    Aunt Lan said that Mr. Wei’s respiratory system was not good, so even if he kept the air purifier on all year round, he still had to clean the dust every day.

    While cleaning, Cheng Cheng silently thought that if he had the money to buy these things, his mother might live a few more years.

    By the way, Wei Zhi said that he was paralyzed because of a virus infecting his brain. Is that encephalitis?

    Cheng Cheng remembered that when his mother was still in the hospital, the old man in the bed across from him seemed to have encephalitis. He was more serious than his mother. He often vomited and fainted. He could see white coats running in and out of his bed every day. He was transferred to the ICU several times.

    Is Wei Zhi like this too?

    Cheng Cheng came up with the idea of ​​knowing more about Wei Zhi’s illness. Now that he was half of Wei Zhi’s caregiver, it was normal for him to know more about it.

    After dragging it up and down, Cheng Cheng leaned on the sofa and searched for “infectious paralysis”. Just as he was reading with interest, a call came in.

    It’s strange, how could it be Pujiang’s number? Several of Cheng Cheng’s friends are from Hetang County, so it could be Secretary He.

    “Hi, hello.”

    “It’s me, Xiaocheng.” Wei Zhi’s gentle voice floated into Chengcheng’s ears.

    How can anyone live in the same house and still make phone calls? What a waste of phone bills.

    Cheng Cheng immediately said: “Mr. Wei, hang up first, I will come to find you.”

    Soon, Cheng Cheng’s footsteps appeared at the door, and he ran up to the second floor as fast as he could, taking only a few seconds.

    Wei Zhi watched Cheng Cheng panting, pointed to the kettle and said, “There is water there, drink some.”

    Cheng Cheng was not polite and drank two cups.

    “Mr. Wei, we are all in the same room. Don’t make phone calls in the future. It’s a waste of money. I can hear you if you shout.”

    Wei Zhi knew that Cheng Chengqiong didn’t argue with him: “Then you save my number first, and we can add WeChat.”

    “Okay.” Cheng Cheng took out the Samsung he bought a few years ago. A small piece of the screen was cracked.

    Wei Zhi spread out his phone for him to scan the code, and glanced at his screen: “Buy a new phone yourself, and I’ll reimburse you.”

    Cheng Cheng said embarrassedly: “Ahem, I’m so embarrassed.”

    That’s not what he was thinking. Oh my god, the boss is so nice. Cheng Cheng is already Boss Wei’s little fanboy.

    The author has something to say:
