Shangxin did not say anything but merely left the wheelchair to the assistant following behind them.
She pulled him in another direction inside the hospital.
It was the ward where disabled people were treated.
These people truly depended on wheelchairs to live their everyday lives.
But, not one of them here was wallowing in self-pity, scanning around the whole place, everyone was trying their best to adapt to the new machine so that they could depend on themselves to live a better life.
“Brother Xiaosi, would you think that they are useless just because they’re bound to their wheelchairs?” Shangxin turned to glance at the man beside her.
Tang Yuansi’s slender figure was right at the door.
His slightly watery pupils were filled with a complex look.
The patients before him were disabled because of various reasons, but the positive spirit they had to try their hardest to stand up again with their own effort surpassed plenty of able-bodied people.
How could they possibly be useless?
“Xin’er…”
“No one knows what will happen in the future. Life gives us plenty of obstacles in our way, but as long as we’re living, we have hope. Living confidently and with strength, is not just for yourself, but also for those who love you!”
Shangxin’s finger pointed to the far end of the rehabilitation ward.
There, a young boy was squatting on the ground, helping his girlfriend to tie her shoelaces.
Then, he held onto her, as she had just gotten a prosthetic leg attached, and helped her as she made each step forward.
Despite her being able to walk only a small distance, the two merrily pulled each other into an embrace and the boy’s eyes were brimming with tears as he broke into a wide grin…
From the other’s point of view, this was probably the most common scene in the rehabilitation ward.
But, to them, these few little steps they took meant a new beginning to their lives…
Every life not given up was one that deserved respect!
After coming out of the rehabilitation ward, Tang Yuansi kept extremely silent throughout.
He merely held onto Shangxin’s hand extremely tightly.
Shangxin felt some pain from his grasp but did not express it. She simply stayed by his side quietly, walking back to the place they had just left.
The assistant was still holding onto the wheelchair and waiting for them at that very same place.
Looking at that wheelchair, the first thing that came into Tang Yuansi’s head was the very scene they had witnessed in the rehabilitation ward earlier which had gone straight to his heart.
Nobody knows what will happen tomorrow.
But, they could work hard and not regret the past or fear the future!
Tang Yuansi’s gaze flickered as he released his grip on her hand and went forward to sit in the wheelchair.
After some adjustments, he then tried using the wheelchair.
He paused after he had wheeled himself a distance and turned back to look at Shangxin, who was in a daze not far away. “Shangxin, you’re wheeling me home right?”
“…”
Shangxin looked at the man before her who was smiling, in complete astonishment!
He was sitting in the wheelchair, with his sturdy build squeezed into the confined space, it seemed as if he was rather restricted in his movement but still appeared at ease.
At a corner of the hospital building, sunlight started to stream in.
He basked in the warm glow of the sun, a warm look appearing on his handsome face.
The corners of his lips were curled upwards into a smile.
His gaze towards her was affectionate…
This confident and relaxed side of him was one that she had not seen in a long time.
It seemed as if Shangxin could no longer walk properly, as she took slow, rigid steps towards him.
When she was right before him, she reached out and grabbed onto the handles of his wheelchair.
“Alright, let’s go home!” Without realizing, her voice seemed to have come from the distant skies.
While he had claimed that they were going home, Tang Yuansi did not actually intend to go there. Instead, he took her to an unexpected place!
