Chapter 7

One battle made Lu Lingxi and Wang Shuxiu famous. The whole hospital had heard that there was a mother and son on the third floor of the inpatient department. Even when the doctors came to check, they couldn't help but stare at Wang Shuxiu's ten-centimetre high heels, imagining how much it would hurt to be hit by such a sharp and thin heel.

Through this fight, Wang Shuxiu unexpectedly got closer to the others in the ward.

Sister Tian smiled and joked with her, "Your son was not raised for nothing, he's on his mother's side when it matters."

Wang Shuxiu looked happy, "That's right!"

With the others following suit and joking as well, Wang Shuxiu felt even happier.

Lu Lingxi was a little uncomfortable being the protagonist of their conversation. This experience was very new to him. He could feel Wang Shuxiu's heartfelt pride; she was proud of him. He felt that he hadn't actually done anything but held the waist of the man he should call his father amidst the confusion. Did Wang Shuxiu need to be so happy about such a small thing? Lu Lingxi tilted his head and gazed at Wang Shuxiu's profile. The slight redness in her eyes had dissipated and her smile at this moment was completely sincere.

Noticing Lu Lingxi's gaze, Wang Shuxiu looked back at him quickly and asked nervously, "Do you feel uncomfortable somewhere?"

When Lu Lingxi shook his head, Wang Shuxiu breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but instruct, "Next time you encounter that old bastard, run, don't just stand there and be fooled by him." This was also because Lu Lingxi had lost his memory. If he hadn't lost his memory, Wang Shuxiu wouldn't have worried.

Lu Lingxi digested the words "old bastard" in his mind for a few seconds and nodded obediently. Wang Shuxiu continued to chat with Sister Tian, while Lu Lingxi had nothing to do but pretend to read the newspaper while quietly opening the white panel. The results of the morning's fertilisation came out, and he gained fifty points of plant hearts. Although he didn't do it for the sake of plant hearts, he couldn't help being happy when he saw the words 56/100 (Level 0) displayed at the lower end.

This time Lu Lingxi figured out another rule of the panel. Satisfying the needs of a single plant, he could get one point of plant heart, but with a flower bed of pansies, the panel did not count every single pansy, but a flower bed as a whole, and the whole could get him ten points of plant hearts. Lu Lingxi was responsible for five flower beds in the morning, and the final result was equal to him taking care of the chlorophytum for several months.

Speaking of chlorophytum, Lu Lingxi didn't know if it was his illusion, but he felt that the pot of chlorophytum on the windowsill seemed to have recovered a bit too well. In just a few days, the previously yellow and limp leaves had completely straightened and were as green and shiny as if they had been specially tended to. Yesterday, when the doctor brought a group of nurses to check on him, they even complimented him on how well he was raising the chlorophytum and asked him for advice. Lu Lingxi had never raised flowers and plants before, and he wondered if he was being paranoid. Did the chlorophytum recover so well just from watering, or did it have something to do with the mysterious white panel?

The morning passed quickly and Wang Shuxiu had to get ready for work again in the afternoon. Lu Lingxi looked at the traces of fatigue in the corners of Wang Shuxiu's eyes and hesitantly suggested that he wanted to leave the hospital. As soon as he had been able to get on his feet, he had advised Wang Shuxiu not to come to the hospital so early. His body almost recovered and he was able to take care of himself. Wang Shuxiu did not listen to him at that time but Lu Lingxi still had the intention of being discharged from the hospital. Today, after Lu Yishui had made such a show, Lu Lingxi thought of leaving the hospital early even more. From Lu Yishui's words, he could tell that the family was in a bit of financial distress. Whether it was his hospitalisation or Lu Yishui's gambling money, it was Wang Shuxiu's hard work that earned money. There was no way for Lu Lingxi to justify watching Wang Shuxiu's hard work, so he wanted to do what he could to ease some of her burden.
