FSC [QT] Chapter 161.1

“You little brat, you are still pretending to be dead. If you don’t go to school today, you will not recognize me as your grandpa.”

In the intensive care unit of Jiangcheng People’s Hospital, a gray-haired old man picked up a fresh plum on the small table beside the bed and threw it to the boy who was peeling an apple.

“Hiss—”

Su Huaibai was caught off guard and was hit on the head by the plum.

“You are really energetic.”

Su Huaibai pulled the corner of his mouth, picked up the half-peeled apple in his hand, put it in his mouth, and chewed it.

“You unfilial grandson, you promised to peel the apple for me.”

Although the old man lived in the intensive care unit, his tone of voice was full of energy. He didn’t look like a patient at all.

At this moment, he was looking at his grandson beside him who was blowing his nose and glaring at him.

If he hadn’t had leg surgery before and couldn’t get out of bed, he would have taught this kid a lesson.

“It’s just a few skin injuries caused by a few gangsters. You’re so good that you just skipped classes. When I was your age, I was injured in one leg by a shell in the Vietnam War, but I still carried my old leader to evacuate from the bomb area safely and killed many southern soldiers. You look so sissy now. You really don’t look like my grandson. Humph, it seems that I have to throw you into the army for good training during this vacation.”

Not long ago, his grandson fought with a group of gangsters. He suffered from the fact that they outnumbered him. Although he managed to defeat the gangsters in the end, he also suffered some injuries.

However, to Old Mr. Bai, who had been on the battlefield, such injuries were minor ones that could be healed without medication. There was no need to take leave because of such minor injuries.

“Okay, you have said these words so many times. You are the most heroic old man, but you are still lying in a hospital bed.”

Old Mr. Bai had many hidden injuries in his early years. Medical conditions were poor during the war. Once, he was injured by shrapnel. Until now, there are still many ammunition fragments in his body that have not been removed.

Even though the medical level is very advanced now, due to Old Mr. Bai’s age, doctors dare not perform surgery on him easily.

The reason for his hospitalization this time was that shrapnel in Old Mr. Bai’s thigh moved to the vicinity of the leg aorta. Once the shrapnel cut the aorta, it would be more troublesome to deal with.

Therefore, after several discussions, the experts unanimously decided to perform surgery to remove the shrapnel from the old man before the danger occurred.

“Don’t worry, I’ll go back to school in the afternoon.”

Seeing that the old man was about to get up and beat him up regardless of his wounds, Su Huaibai quickly changed his words. He was used to talking back at the old man and had never thought of angering him to death.

“Hmph, you’re smart.”

The old man snorted, finally satisfied, and then pointed to the largest apple in the fruit basket beside him.

“I’m hungry. Peel that apple for me.”

Let him grab his apples, pick the biggest one for him, and cut it to death.

Old people tend to become childish when they get older. Su Huaibai was happy to see such an energetic grandfather. This was probably the reason why he usually quarreled with him.

He finished the apple in his hand in a few strokes, took the big apple that his grandfather had designated, and lowered his head to peel it.

“It’s so ugly!”

After leaving the intensive care unit, Su Huaibai went into the bathroom of the hospital and frowned at himself in the mirror.

The boy in the mirror had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and his facial lines were sharp and distinct. The bruises at the corners of his mouth and the scratches on his brows made him look a little more unruly and sharp. He was not ugly but had a kind of bad charm.

In the past, Su Huaibai would not have cared about such an injury at all, but when he thought about the little love-brained girl sitting next to him who would see his disfigured face, Su Huaibai lost interest in going to school.

Originally, he was thinking about going to school after his injury healed, but now the old man has spoken. So, for the sake of the other party’s health, he can no longer avoid it.

“What trouble. I shouldn’t have saved that kid.”

Looking at himself in the mirror, Su Huaibai scratched his hair irritably, wondering if that little love-brained would fall in love with someone else after seeing his disfigured self.

Reality is not like in TV dramas. Even though he is a martial artist who has undergone rigorous training, he cannot remain unscathed when facing a siege of dozens of people.

Su Huaibai was worried that the little love-brained had watched too many TV dramas and read too many novels, and after seeing the wound on his face, she would think that he was the same type of person as Sheng Chenglin, weak and without any masculinity.

He would have to explain it to that girl then, which was troublesome just thinking about it.

“Forget it.”

Now that things have come to this, there is no way to regret it.

Su Huaibai thought awkwardly that he did not like the little love-brained, so why should he care about the other party’s thoughts?

Moreover, could his charm be covered by these two scars?

Although he thought so in his heart, after leaving the hospital, Su Huaibai ran to a nearby pharmacy to buy two band-aids and put them on the scars on his face.

The color of the band-aids was a little lighter than his original skin color. Two band-aids on his face looked a little abrupt, but Su Huaibai decided that this was more appropriate than letting Xiang Wu see the wounds on his face.
