Chapter 861: She Did Not Want To Be A Burden
The string of the kite broke…
The little red fish kite fluttered and fell like a falling meteor.
Su Wan raised her head and saw the falling kite. Her face turned pale, and bean-sized beads of sweat appeared on her bloodless face.
She could not exert any strength with her hands…
Su Wan felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She suddenly remembered doctor Li’s sympathetic words on the day at the God’s Palace.
“Miss Su, you must have felt that you were very tired these days. You often felt that you couldn’t get up and even want to sleep during the day, right?”
“In fact, being tired and lethargic is only your initial condition. You may also feel that your body is weak and your hair is falling out frequently. All the functions of your body will continue to deteriorate and stagnate.”
“According to our observations, most animals that have been hit by the CHK Virus No.3 will take a series of self-harm actions because they can not bear the pain of the virus acting up.”
“So, if your ability to withstand stress isn’t strong, it is highly likely that you will suffer from depression and mental breakdown before your body completely degrades.”
…
However, it was only a short period of time. She had also taken the medicine on time, but why was she still unable to hold the string wheel of a kite…
It clearly did not weigh much!
How could she not be able to hold it!
Su Wan looked terrified.
This was probably what doctor Li had said before. She would feel sleepy from time to time, and her body would not be able to exert much strength. Her hair might even fall out, and she might even be depressed and have organ failure.
“Wan Wan, what’s wrong?”
Jiang Xuecheng did not expect Su Wan to be unable to hold the string wheel of a kite. He could not be bothered to pick up those things and directly stretched out his hand to support Su Wan.
The man’s voice was deep and clear, and there was obvious worry in his dark phoenix eyes.
“Xuecheng, my hand suddenly lost strength just now. I can’t even hold a kite wheel.”
A kite wheel!
How heavy could it be?!
Su Wan tilted her head and looked at Jiang Xuecheng. Her pale face was full of confusion and fear hidden under the confusion. Su Wan did not want Jiang Xuecheng to see it.
Su Wan paused and reached out to grab Jiang Xuecheng’s sleeve tightly.
“Do you think… I won’t be able to hold my chopsticks steadily in the future…”
Would there be such a day?
Would there be?
She would become a complete cripple and lose the ability to take care of herself. She would become a burden for Jiang Xuecheng.
Jiang Xuecheng did not expect Su Wan to have thought of such a long-term situation because of such a detail.
However, Su Wan’s behavior just now was most likely caused by the CHK Virus No.3.
Jiang Xuecheng stared at Su Wan. He reached out his hand, trying to soothe the frown between Su Wan’s brows.
“Wan Wan, don’t think too much. Sometimes, people might be scared not because of their physical condition, but just by thinking about it.”
A thin mist appeared in Su Wan’s eyes.
She was really scared.
She didn’t want to become a useless person who couldn’t take care of herself. She didn’t want to let Jiang Xuecheng forget about food and sleep just to take care of her. She didn’t want to become a woman who was paralyzed in the ward with half of her head bald…
She didn’t want to become a burden to Jiang Xuecheng.
Su Wan turned her head and looked at the kite hanging on the treetops from afar.
Jiang Xuecheng had just teased her that he was the kite in her hands. No matter how high he flew, he would never forget that she was the one who pulled the strings.
However, this scene was like heaven slapping their faces.
The string broke, and the kite fell.
Such a terrifying omen.
Jiang Xuecheng followed Su Wan’s line of sight and also noticed the little red fish kite hanging on the treetops.
His face stiffened for a moment.
What did I just say? Why must I use the kite and the string as an analogy?!
Su Wan was a girl with a delicate mind. In addition to her illness, the doctors said that Su Wan was extremely prone to depression and anxiety.
“Wan Wan, don’t be sad. I’ll go and pick up the kite for you.”
Without waiting for Su Wan to respond, Jiang Xuecheng ran toward the big tree.
He had a strong body, so climbing a tree was no problem for him. Back on Wan Wan Island, Jiang Xuecheng could even climb a coconut tree easily, let alone this kind of tree.
“You…”
Su Wan was stunned. In fact, she also knew that it was not the kite’s problem, but a thorn in her heart.
Would she really be cured from her virus?
Su Wan looked up and saw the sunlight filtered by the leaves, emitting a halo on Jiang Xuecheng’s face. He was handsome, perfect, and simply did not look like a mortal.
Jiang Xuecheng carefully pulled the kite hanging in the leaves. Then, he climbed the branch with one hand and gently shook it at Su Wan.
It was as if he was saying, “Wan Wan, I’ve got the kite.”
Su Wan looked at Jiang Xuecheng’s handsome face from afar and silently cheered herself up.
Su Wan, don’t become the kind of person you look down on the most, okay?
Don’t feel sorry for yourself, okay?!
Back on Earth, Jiang Xuecheng had taught her that weakness was useless.
She had to believe in her own resistance, the relief medicine that Jiang Xuecheng had made for her, and more importantly, she had to believe that they would find a way to cure CHK Virus No.3 sooner or later.
Everything would be fine. She and Jiang Xuecheng would definitely be fine.
Su Wan repeated these words in her heart three times, and her pale expression finally eased a little.
Just as Su Wan looked at Jiang Xuecheng, she suddenly felt someone tugging at her clothes.
Su Wan turned her head around in a daze, and a face with baby fat unexpectedly jumped into her line of sight.
“Big Sister, here you go –”
It was a little girl who looked about nine years old. There was a hint of fear in her eyes, and there was a smile on her chubby face. She looked clean and defenseless.
In her hand was the kite string wheel that Su Wan had just dropped on the ground.
Anyone who saw such a girl would like her.
That timid look made Su Wan’s heart melt into a puddle of water.
But Su Wan felt that she was too shy.
Su Wan smiled slightly and reached out to take the kite wheel. Then, she patted the little girl’s shoulder with her empty hand, trying to show her friendliness.
“Thank you. You’re such a good girl. What’s your name?”
However, the little girl seemed to have been stimulated by something as she hurriedly dodged to the back.
Su Wan was stunned. Did she look like some kind of man-eating monster?!
The little girl probably also realized that her dodging movements were not good. She glanced at Su Wan bashfully and finally slowly walked back.
“Big Sister, my name is Yaya.”
Yaya…
Su Wan smiled slightly and pointed at the children running on the playground.
“Yaya, why don’t you fly a kite with them? Why don’t I teach you how to fly it?”
Yaya hung her head timidly and her voice was as low as a mosquito’s.
“Big Sister, my leg hurts so much. I definitely can’t run. They will despise me.”
Yaya’s words were incoherent. Although flying a kite required running for a while at the beginning, it was fine to stand and fly it later.
Why would she be despised by others?
