Chapter 153 152. Prosthetic Matching
Huaiyu returned to Huacheng Hospital carrying his iconic backpack.

She was already familiar with the way to the private ward. She had a thin body but great energy. When passing by the nurses' station, everyone only needed to see her back to know that Zhou Qian's sister had come again.

but……

She knocked on the door gently, but there was no movement in the ward.

So I had to stand on tiptoe and look through the small window of the ward - damn, short people have such a limited perspective!

Are you taking a break?
Huaiyu thought for a moment and gently turned the doorknob, only to find that the ward was empty. She remembered what Zhou Qian had said about prosthetic fitting in the morning, so she turned around and headed straight to the nurse station:

"Sister," she looked at the two familiar nurses with her big dark eyes, "Where is Brother Zhou Qian?"

The nurse uttered an "ah" and looked a little confused and hesitant. But Huaiyu still looked at her expectantly, with eyes full of trust.

She pursed her lips and said it anyway - there was no rule against saying it, right?
"The new biomaterial adaptation area at the end of the right corridor. He should be doing basic adaptation in there."

"But...sister, this project is not suitable for family members to watch. Why don't you sit and wait for a while? I have some candy here, would you like some?"

After she finished speaking, she opened the drawer and carefully picked out a candy from it. Her eyes were glued to the candy as she handed it to her - after all, candy was that expensive.

But Huaiyu just took it with a grin, then took out a paper bag from the backpack and handed over two yellowish translucent rock candies:
"Sister, I'll treat you to this, too."

what?
She grabbed the hand of the young nurse that was handing her the candy, and then felt a cool touch in her palm. When she came to her senses, Huaiyu had already rewrapped the candy and walked away.

The two nurses looked at each other, and after a while, they quickly stuffed the candy into their mouths: "This one has no wrapper, so you'd better eat it as soon as possible--uh!"

The two of them widened their eyes in confusion: "So sweet! Purely sweet!" It was much better than the plant-extracted soothing sweetener candies she had given them and distributed by the hospital!
And Huaiyu had quietly stepped into the corridor on the right.

There were different clinics on both sides of the corridor. There were people sitting on a row of benches at the door. Some were on IV drips and some were disabled. Everyone looked very negative and tired. Huaiyu felt depressed just by walking through the corridor.

It turned out that she was right to come back to the hospital.

Otherwise, in such an environment, Zhou Qian must be very lonely and pitiful to adapt his prosthesis all alone!

But...why did the nurse say it was not suitable for family members to see?

She frowned and guessed: Could it be that he had to do some basic rehabilitation movements during the adaptation and was afraid that he would look too awkward and embarrass himself in front of his family members?
That shouldn't be the case. Don't rehabilitation training require family members to accompany them and give them confidence?

While he was thinking, he had reached the end of the corridor, and a middle-aged woman suddenly walked out of the ward in front of him, talking to the doctor beside her as she walked, and almost bumped into Huai Yu.

She quickly dodged to the side, but forgot that she was still carrying the backpack, which was against the wall and almost bounced back onto the person.

Fortunately, the other party seemed to be in a good mood. His skin-colored prosthetic feet stepped on the ground, and a pair of hands held her firmly:

"Be careful."

Then he turned to the doctor beside him and said, "I feel it's a good fit, and it's not painful at the moment."

As she spoke, she stomped her feet twice.

The other person had a prosthetic limb attached below the knee. The color of his skin did not look out of place, and there was no noticeable friction from the joints when he walked.

Judging from her movements and coordination, it is obvious that she is very close to normal people. If this is true, then after the prosthesis is installed, she should be able to live like a normal person, right? The doctor also smiled gently: "Yes, the prostheses made in our country today are gentle and have a high adaptability rate. Foreign countries have to rely on us to import them."

"Plus, the data collection in the early stage was very detailed, and you maintained it well. Now it is officially installed. Just walk around slowly for a while and observe it."

The other person's voice was steady, and he sounded trustworthy. The middle-aged woman also looked relieved, and then she continued to move forward without hesitation.

Huaiyu subconsciously took a few more glances and couldn't help wondering what color Zhou Qian chose - I wonder if he likes bright red!

If there was a bright red leg bone, it would be particularly eye-catching in the wilderness, right?

She turned her head and looked at the clinic she had just been in, her eyes full of anticipation.

The doctor walked a few steps forward with the middle-aged woman, left a few words of advice, and then came back.

Seeing Huaiyu standing at the door expectantly, he couldn't help but look her up and down:
"Girl, are you going to come for the matching? Why don't I see the appointment form?"

Curious, he went back to the office and flipped the notebook up and down.

"No more, this is the only one who made an appointment this afternoon..."

He looked at Huaiyu: "Have you registered?"

Huaiyu shook his head and quickly explained: "It's not me, it's my brother who is also doing the matching. The nurse said it's here. But..."

She looked around and saw that this was just an ordinary consulting room.

Outside is the doctor's office, with various measurement models and auxiliary tools on the table and floor.

There is a glass door inside the house. Without going in, you can see a wide area with handrails. There are also several prosthetic limbs of different colors and sizes placed next to it, which I think are for everyone to practice adaptation.

But there was no trace of Zhou Qian.

The doctor flipped through the notebook again, and the blank space at the bottom of the page made him frown in confusion:
"But I only made an appointment with the person just now today? What's the name of your family member?"

Huaiyu was also a little confused, but still answered honestly: "Zhou Qian."

I couldn't help but turn around and look at the sign on the door - it was indeed the right corridor, and it was indeed the prosthetic adaptation area!

Unexpectedly, the doctor's eyes widened instantly: "Your family member is Zhou Qian? That Zhou Qian?"

That... Zhou Qian? Which one?

Huaiyu frowned, and the doctor in front of her looked her up and down, then showed pity in his eyes: "You two brothers and sisters depend on each other for survival. Life must be very difficult, right?"

"I was thinking that the defense army would have good benefits, so life would be a little tight in the future, but not that bad... But I still have to say that your brother is really amazing!"

Huaiyu was even more confused. Just as she was about to ask something, she saw the doctor patting her shoulder gently and turning her around:
"He has given so much to your family, little girl, please take good care of your brother in the future!"

As he spoke, he pushed her towards the door:
"Hey, you've found the wrong clinic. He's in the innermost one - the new biomaterial fusion room."
