Repaying Gratitude
Xu Momo didn't transmigrate because she didn't die at all.
Her arm was fractured, and there were multiple soft tissue contusions, accompanied by internal bleeding. A warm-hearted doctor who passed by gave her temporary first aid measures, so that her injuries did not worsen. In the end, the doctor even drove her to the nearest hospital.
Fortunately, the surgery was very successful. Two weeks later, Xu Momo was discharged from the hospital, but the cast on her arm could not be removed for the time being.
The driver who caused the accident received the punishment he deserved, and Xu Momo's family also received compensation.
After a month, Xu Momo's cast could finally be removed. She could finally live a miserable life without having to use a wet towel to bathe.
In order to thank the warm-hearted doctor, Xu Momo's parents decided to bring her to thank him. On the weekend afternoon, Xu Momo's parents dragged Xu Momo, who was still in a thick cast on her arm, to the doctor's house according to the address. The two families were actually not far from each other. It only took them five minutes to drive there.
After they got out of the car, Xu Momo's father repeatedly told her to thank him.""The most important thing in life is to know how to repay kindness, understand? We can't let others think that we're ungrateful wolves.”
Xu Momo couldn't help but imagine the scene of her prostrating herself and shouting for her savior.
Well, it probably didn't have to be that exaggerated.
When they arrived at the doctor's house, Mother Xu rang the doorbell. Soon, a man's voice came from inside.""Who is it?"
Mother Xu announced her intentions loudly.
In the blink of an eye, the door opened.
The person who opened the door was the kind Dr. Xu who had saved Xu Momo.
Dr. Xu looked about the same age as Xu Momo's parents. He was tall and thin, with a square face and high nose bridge. He was handsome. He was very enthusiastic. When he saw Xu Momo's family, he smiled and invited them in.
Seeing Xu Momo's father holding the gift box, Doctor Xu immediately shook his head." Sigh, why do you have to spend so much money?"”
"It's not expensive, it's not expensive." Xu Momo's father smiled brightly." You saved our daughter. This little gift is nothing.”
"That's right, that's right." Mother Xu chimed in.
"Alright, don't stand at the door," Doctor Xu said with a smile. Come in and sit."
Then they sat down on the leather sofa in the living room. Doctor Xu poured each of them a cup of hot tea, and then both parties began to chat.
Father Xu was a chatterbox, and Mother Xu was generous and polite. She spoke very appropriately, and the three of them quickly became familiar with each other. However, Xu Momo was a quiet person in front of strangers. She did not inherit the advantages of her parents at all, so she could only hold the hot tea and watch them talk with a silly smile. From time to time, she nodded to show that she was listening.
Doctor Xu suddenly changed the topic to Xu Momo again."Momo is a university student, right?"
"Yes, a university student." Father Xu quickly answered for his daughter." She's studying at University A. She's a sophomore this year.”
"University A?" Doctor Xu's eyes lit up." The University A that's not far from here?”He slapped his thigh." What a coincidence. My son is also studying at University A.”
Father Xu looked even more excited than Doctor Xu."Really? Which year? What major?"
"Why else would you call it a coincidence?" Doctor Xu replied. My son is also a sophomore studying international trade.”
"My daughter studied chemistry," said Mother Xu with a smile.”
"Chemistry? She was really good at chemistry. He didn't expect her to be so smart.”Doctor Xu patted Xu Momo's head lovingly.
Xu Momo remembered that she almost failed her subject in the last semester, and she could only giggle and agree."It's alright, it's alright."
After chatting for a few more minutes, Dr. Xu insisted that they stay for dinner. Father Xu couldn't refuse, so he had to agree. Doctor Xu did not know how to cook, so he ordered takeout from a nearby restaurant.
"My son and I usually eat like this at home. Don't take offense, don't take offense." Doctor Xu said with a smile.
Xu Momo subconsciously thought that the son he was referring to was the boy studying at University A, so she didn't take it to heart.
During dinner, Father Xu and Doctor Xu drank two more bottles of beer. The two of them immediately started chatting and became more and more enthusiastic. Soon, the two of them hit it off at first sight, so close that they wished they could put their arms around each other's shoulders and call each other brothers.
"Actually, I envy you." Doctor Xu said to Father Xu," You have such a docile daughter. I've always wanted a daughter, but she was born with a penis.”
"It's good to have a son too," said Mother Xu with a smile.”
"What's so good about our son?" Doctor Xu shook his head. Insensible and disobedient!" As he spoke, he sighed as if he had thought of something terrible." I have two sons. If they are as obedient as you, I will immediately go to Henan to burn incense and kowtow to my ancestral grave!”
Father Xu burped and said in surprise,"Two sons? I thought you only had one son."
"No, two sons." Doctor Xu sighed." One of them is the one who is studying at University A. He has an elder son. He…"
At the mention of his eldest son, Doctor Xu suddenly stopped talking.
Sensing that the atmosphere was a little off, Father Xu quickly filled Doctor Xu's glass with beer.
As Doctor Xu drank, he continued to nag about how his daughter was the best and how considerate she was. It was a pity that his wife passed away early, otherwise…
As he spoke, Doctor Xu's eyes turned red.
After a glass of wine, Father Xu grinned and said,"It's easy to have a daughter! You saved my daughter, so she's your goddaughter from now on.”
- Huh?
Xu Momo, who had been eating with her head lowered, suddenly raised her head.
"Sure, I think so." Doctor Xu said with a smile. Their relationship was good, but this person was also a little drunk.
At this moment, Mother Xu also said," We'll let her come to your house more often in the future. She'll come to visit you every week!”She looked at her daughter." What do you think, Momo?”
Xu Momo had always been an obedient girl, and there was nothing wrong with visiting Doctor Xu. "No problem, of course."”
"Your surname is Xu, and our surname is Xu. It's almost the same!”Father Xu laughed out loud." We're a family!”
Suddenly, there was a loud bang from somewhere. It sounded like something heavy had fallen to the floor.
The smile on Doctor Xu's face immediately disappeared. "I'll be right back."
As he spoke, he stood up and turned to leave.
Xu Momo watched him turn around and leave the restaurant. Soon, there was a knock on the door outside the restaurant, followed by Doctor Xu's voice."Ruirui? What are you doing? I have guests here!"
Ruirui? Xu Momo guessed that the person in the room might be one of Dr. Xu's two sons. But why did he stay in his room and not come out?
"What happened?" Father Xu's gossipy heart burned." Come, let's go and take a look."”
They left the dining room and saw Doctor Xu standing in front of a door. A piece of paper slipped out from the crack in the door. Doctor Xu lowered his head and picked up the paper.
From Xu Momo's direction, she could see the words written on the paper with a red marker: " Please don't be noisy.
Doctor Xu sighed deeply and crumpled the paper into a ball.
"I'm really sorry to make a fool of myself.”Doctor Xu forced a smile." That's my son, Xu Rui. He's probably writing and thinks we're disturbing him by talking too loudly.”
After that, Dr. Xu talked to the Xu parents about his son, Xu Rui. When he talked about his eldest son, Doctor Xu frowned and sighed.
"It's all my fault," Dr. Xu said."Ever since the child's mother passed away, I've been very busy with work. I've been working overtime. When my two sons needed me the most, I wasn't by their side. I thought that it was a good thing for boys to be independent as soon as possible, but I didn't expect things to turn out like this. The eldest son never went out and locked himself in the bedroom every day. The younger son is the other extreme. The school is so close to home, but he doesn't come back even once in a month or two. He probably doesn't even know that I changed the lock. Sigh…"
The Xu parents took turns to comfort Dr. Xu, saying that his son would definitely have a bright future. One of them was an international trade specialist at A University, and the other was a writer. Who wouldn't be envious?
Doctor Xu shook his head and sighed." What writer? He just writes novels online. It's just a hobby."”
Hearing this, Xu Momo's interest was piqued. Without thinking, she asked,"What website?"
Doctor Xu scratched his head." Sigh, I can't remember clearly. I think it's called a river or something.”
"Weihe Literature City!" Xu Momo immediately shouted.
Doctor Xu nodded quickly." That's right, that's right. That was the name. You like reading novels on it too?"
Xu Momo smiled shyly." Actually, I'm also writing something online.”
"Oh? Really?" Doctor Xu's eyes lit up.
"She's like a fish that fishes for three days and dries the net for two days. I know her well.”Mother Xu smiled and said," I've seen what she wrote. She only wrote about 100,000 words a year.”
"Yo, more than 100,000 words?" Doctor Xu asked. Not bad."
"Actually, her mother is also a writer." She writes children's literature."
"No wonder you're from a scholarly family." Doctor Xu exclaimed in surprise.”
Mother Xu smiled and said humbly,"What kind of scholarly family is this? I don't dare to call myself a writer. I only occasionally write fairy tales and submit them. This is just my hobby."
" By the way," Dr. Xu suddenly said to Xu Momo again," Since you're also writing novels on that website, I think you and my son must have something in common."”
A common language?
Xu Momo thought for a moment.
Most of the authors who wrote on Weihe website had read Nightfall, so Xu Rui should have read it too.
Hence, she nodded." Yes, I think so.”
Doctor Xu suddenly looked particularly interested. He said happily,"Then tell me what your pen name is. Then the two of you can communicate online in the future.”
As Doctor Xu spoke, he took out a small brown notebook and planned to write down Xu Momo's pen name.
Xu Momo hesitated. It wasn't that she didn't want to tell Doctor Xu her pen name, but it was just that her pen name…was a little funny. But in the end, she still wrote down the words " Granny Xu " on the notebook, and then she was too embarrassed to return the notebook to Dr. Xu.
Doctor Xu glanced at it but did not say anything. He put the notebook back into his pocket and sighed.""To tell you the truth, although my son is a little strange, he has some psychological problems. You saw his condition just now.
Doctor Xu frowned again. He couldn't help but glance at the wall where a photo of a couple was hanging. Dr. Xu's wife was a rare beauty. She had long wavy hair and an oval face. Her skin was fair and she looked especially sweet when she smiled.
"Actually, I haven't had a good talk with Ruirui in years. He has always refused to communicate with me." Doctor Xu picked up his teacup and drank some water. He said hoarsely," I know he's actually very dissatisfied with me. Actually, he moved out once before. I begged him to come back and live with me. I want to communicate with him. However, he had locked himself in his room and refused to go out. He earned his living expenses himself, and he ate takeout and instant noodles in his room. We rarely even had the chance to meet. Therefore, although we live under the same roof, we are even more distant than neighbors.”
Father Xu didn't know what to say to comfort him. Mother Xu asked gently,""Did you see a psychiatrist?"
"I did." Doctor Xu sighed and said," I've only seen him once. I even invited the doctor over. However, it was useless. The second time the doctor came, he didn't even want to talk to us.”
As he spoke, he turned to look at Xu Momo. Xu Momo knew that he wanted to talk to her, so she quickly sat up straight.
"That's why I want someone who's about his age and has the same interests as him to help me communicate with him." I don't have any other requests now. I just want to know more about him. I don't expect him to change anything in a short period of time.”
"No problem. My Momo is the best at communicating with people.”Father Xu said with a smile.
Cough, are you really talking about your coquettish daughter…Xu Momo was speechless. Mother Xu didn't say anything. She probably thought the same.
However, Xu Momo knew that even if they communicated, they would probably leave each other messages on the Internet. She had heard that in Country J, there were some people who didn't even step out of their homes for several years. They couldn't adapt to society, and because of social phobia and other reasons, they completely shut themselves off. Therefore, it was even harder for them to communicate with people in the 3D world. Xu Momo didn't mind communicating with people who liked to write on the Internet, so she agreed without hesitation,""No problem, don't worry."
After that, the two families drank some tea and talked about the trivial things in life for a while. After that, Father Xu stood up and said that it was getting late. It was time for the family to go back.
Before he left, Doctor Xu gave Xu Momo a good reminder to rest and recuperate from now on. Xu Momo quickly nodded in agreement.
" By the way," Dr. Xu said as if he suddenly remembered something." My youngest son's name is Xu Yi, as in elegant Yi." If you encounter any difficulties in school in the future, just look for him.”
Xu Momo was stunned." Xu Yi? Was it Xu Yi, the head of the Student Union's publicity department?”
"Yeah, you know him?" Doctor Xu asked in surprise.
Xu Momo was silent for a moment.”
"That's great." Doctor Xu smiled and said," What a coincidence. You two are both from A University and know each other. How can there be so many coincidences like this in the world? Our two families are really fated. In the future, you should hang out with Yiyi more. As classmates, you should help each other out.”
Of course, Xu Momo knew Xu Yi. He was the famous Prince Charming of A University, the signature of the school's drama troupe, and the champion of the University Student Singing Competition of A City for two consecutive years.
Xu Yi knew Xu Momo too. The reason was that Xu Momo's roommate and best friend, He Xiaofei, was Xu Yi's girlfriend…or more accurately, his ex-girlfriend. Two months ago, He Xiaofei dumped Xu Yi. Many people in A University knew about this gossip.
Therefore, befriending Xu Yi was an impossible task. It was much more difficult than communicating with the otaku Xu Rui.
After leaving the Xu family, Father Xu kept praising Doctor Xu for his kindness and enthusiasm as he drove. Of course, Xu Momo also thought that Doctor Xu was a good person.
" Oh right," Father Xu suddenly said," Why does the name Xu Yi sound so familiar?”
Xu Momo then remembered that she had told her parents about Xu Yi two months ago. At that time, He Xiaofei had just broken up with Xu Yi.
Outside, she was a quiet girl, but at home, she would talk a lot during meals and especially liked to tell her parents about interesting gossip in school. She remembered her saying that Xu Yi was a two-timing scumbag. He was in a relationship with He Xiaofei while flirting with a girl from the student department.
She was still slapping her bowl and chopsticks, her saliva flying everywhere as she said,"In this society, everything is going up in price. Why are scumbags getting more and more cheap? I wonder if he's really his parents 'son-oh, he's definitely, or they wouldn't have raised such a bastard.”
Actually, she was just talking. She thought that her parents did not pay much attention to what she said. However, she did not expect her father to remember Xu Yi's name today.
Hence, Xu Momo said without changing her expression,"Is that so? I never mentioned him."
"Oh, maybe I remembered wrongly."”
After that, Father Xu changed the topic to the recent oil prices and put Xu Yi's matter aside for the time being.
