Chapter 43
A muffled thud was followed by a sharp pain in her hip, so painful that even her brain went numb for a moment, buzzing for a few moments before she reacted to what was happening.
She braced herself and tried to get up, but it hurt too much, and after two tries, she couldn’t get up.
“Mom, mom, mom …… can you hear me?”
“Anyone?”
“Mom ……”
She tried to shout a few times, but her soft voice only echoed in the bathroom, it didn’t even get out.
Thinking about it, she understood that her room was in the far corner, separated by the stairs, Bai Yang and his family of four’s room was at the other end, and the soundproofing of this room was good, so if she didn’t get close, she wouldn’t be able to hear the movement inside.
It was at this time that the cell phone outside rang abruptly.
Her cell phone was placed on the bed when she took a shower and didn’t bring it in, and now she hated to have a mechanical telescopic hand to help her grab the phone over.
Ji Yu was a little anxious, wanted to stand up to answer the phone, but her pelvis was pulling her whole body, she couldn’t use her strength at all, she couldn’t stand up at all, she was trapped here, anxious and clueless, listening to the cell phone ringing over and over again.
The phone rang for about four or five minutes and finally stopped.
Ji Yu bit her lower lip, her hand holding the sink, put her weight on the uninjured foot, endured the pain and slowly stood up, and moved her steps outside with difficulty.
Outside suddenly came a sharp knock on the door, as if someone was calling her name, after a while, someone pushed the door in, and the sharp footsteps stopped at the bathroom door.
Bai Yang knocked on the door and listened with her side ear, “Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu, are you in there? Is there anything wrong?”
Hearing Bai Yang’s voice, Ji Yu’s nose flared up, a hot breath rushed to her heart, her eyes instantly reddened, her voice carrying a few inaudible grievances, “Mom, I’m fine, it’s just that, I fell.”
Bai Yang panicked for a moment, “Where did you fall? Is it serious? Can I come in?”
“Come in.”
Ji Yu sniffled and strained to move his legs.
Bai Yang unscrewed the doorknob and saw Ji Yu standing there in a state of danger and trembling, raising a heart, “Where did you fall? Is it hurt?”
“The buttocks hurt, the feet also hurt.”
Look closely, the girl’s face pale as snow, eyebrows slightly knit due to pain, hair, thin arms with veins to support the wall, a look of falling with the wind.
Bai Yang hurriedly came over to support her, his hand touched her back, “Aigoo, clothes and pants are wet, I’ll get clothes for you to change, don’t catch a cold.”
Bai Yang looks for a set of pajamas for her to change into.
Ji Yu sat on the bed and watched Bai Yang get busy, “Mom, why did you come here? Did you hear me call out to you?”
Bai Yang knows that she’s usually still studying at this time, and usually doesn’t come over to disturb her.
“No, just now Ling Yuan called Zi Hao and said that he made an appointment with you at this time to match the answers with you, but as a result, you didn’t answer after a few calls, so I was afraid that something had happened to you and asked Zi Hao to let me come and take a look. Luckily he reminded me, otherwise mom wouldn’t have known you fell.”
So it was him.
Before they hung up the video, Ling Yuan said he’d call her at eleven to supervise her sleep, he didn’t expect to really call, and the call just now should have been him as well.
Bai Yang brings over the medicinal oil, “Lie down on the bed, I’ll rub it for you, if the pain is bad, just say so, if it’s serious, you’ll have to go to the hospital.”
Ji Yu “hmm” a sound, turn over and lie on his stomach, “just when I fell quite painful, now I feel much better, it should not be serious, do not need to go to the hospital.”
Bai Yang blamed herself, “It’s mom’s negligence, your foot is sprained, it’s inconvenient to take a bath, I should have watched from the side.”
When she said this, Ji Yu was a little embarrassed, “That’s not necessary, I’ve grown up so big, I can wash myself ……”
Bai Yang “giggled” and laughed, her daughter usually acted very sophisticated, but this is like a child, “What’s so shy about it? When you were a child, I also helped you take a bath.”
The words fell, but she felt Ji Yu’s body under her hands stiffen, she realized that she had said the wrong thing, and quickly said, “I’m sorry, mother was talkative.”
JiYu was already very fuzzy about her childhood, Bai Yang divorced Ji Zhao when she was four years old, and after that she hadn’t seen her for more than ten years, there really weren’t many warm memories between them, she just suddenly thought of her dad, Ji Zhao, who was really good to her, and took care of her life in every possible way.
She remembers that when she was in junior high school, there was a time when she sprained her foot, and Chi Zhao followed her every inch of the way, although it was inconvenient to help her take a bath, but for fear that she would have an accident, she also called out to the neighboring aunts to come over to help.
Like now, injured and still left her alone in the room thing in Ji Zhao is impossible to happen.
More than once, Ji Yu consoled herself that her mother was not her mother alone, she was also Liang Zixuan’s mother, Liang Zhongwen’s wife, Liang Zihao’s stepmother, and the mistress of the Liang family, so it was impossible for her to put all of her heart into her.
However, more or less in her heart, she was a bit aggrieved.
Especially when she just fell on the ground and couldn’t shout for anyone, the aggrieved emotion reached its peak.
Later, when she heard Bai Yang come knocking on the door to ask questions, she forgave her in a few moments.
She was easily satisfied with just a little bit of affection from her.
She wasn’t greedy at all.
“It’s okay, I just don’t remember anything from my childhood.”
Bai Yang instantly relaxed again and smiled as she reminisced, “You were only three or four years old then, where do you remember, I still remember that you loved to bathe back then because you could play with the water and splash it all over the place, so naughty.”
“Really?”
“Well, then you can not now so good behavior, I also remember your grandfather has a water pipe, can be a baby, used up to hide in his bed, I do not know how you look for, climbed to his bed even turned out, but also that the mouthpiece of the cigarette to knocked out, to your grandfather’s heartache of the yo ~”
The water pipe Chi Yu knows, now grandfather is still using, often pointing to the gap that this is her most outstanding work.
Bai Yang suddenly remembered that on the day Ji Yu first came here, she had told her daughter to contact her less, which was a bit too much, “Is your grandfather’s health okay?”
Ji Yu nodded, “Fine, still able to take care of himself, otherwise I wouldn’t have agreed to come here.”
Hearing this, the smile on Bai Yang’s face faded a bit, “Little Yu, your Uncle Liang is willing to let you come and live here, and also helped transfer your school registration here, it’s already a big favor, we have to be good, try not to cause him any trouble, got it?”
Ji Yu flopped down on the bed, suddenly a little out of breath, and answered in a muffled voice, “I know, mom, I’m fine, it’s late, you go to bed, I see that you’ve been working hard lately as well, so take an early rest.”
Bai Yang stopped the movement of her hands and asked, “Is it really okay? If it hurts, you have to say so.”
“It’s really fine, I’m going to sleep too.”
Bai Yang checked her feet, tucked her in, packed up the things at hand and got up, “Then mom is leaving, you go to sleep, call me if you don’t feel well.”
“Okay, good night mom.”
“Goodnight.”
Bai Yang helped her turn off the light in the room before walking out.
The room fell into darkness for a long time before a sigh came from the bed.
Sure enough, she still couldn’t hope for too much.
