When Xiao Mei Zhi used her crutches, she lowered her gaze as she got into the house and she turned away from her mother. "How to even use this?" She was a little embarrassed --who would not be? It was her first time trying it.

She take a step to drop those unnecessary thoughts away, "Squeeze the crutches between your upper arms and ribs." She slightly drop her mouth open as her mother told her what to do. That would not be comfortable for her armpit!

"Just follow my instruction and you will be fine after 2 days." Her mother assured her with a suggestion. She squeezed the crutches and her armpit felt the pad. It was not one bit comfortable even her expression instantly pull off a fish lip look.

"Do not give me that look. You are doing great. Just put your weight through your hands not your armpits." Misses Zhi informed her.

She had to admit , while she only tried to feel the crutches on her upper arm , especially the pad on her armpit, it was not already convenient for her to do so and she can imagine that it was not even pleasant to stand and walk everyday with crutches by her side.

Her face was surrounded with disgusts as she bit her lower lip and said, "I manage to got out from the hospital without using those crutches." Misses Zhi took the crutches away from her, "Then let me see if you can handle it, Alone."

She move her stronger foot first, "I can do it!" And she fell on the floor, staring incredulously at her injured foot who was the cause of everything, her hands clenched for non-existent kettlebells. "Takoyaki!" Her last thought as she cursed.

"I did told you that you still require a support." Misses Zhi then placed down the crutches beside Xiao Mei Zhi.

"Stand up by yourself."

Misses Zhi turned away from Xiao Mei Zhi to get things started, she noticed that there were still shattered portions of fragments on the floor of their kitchen and she can not let her daughter clean it due to her current situation.

Xiao Mei Zhi looked at the crutches laying beside her on the floor. She would be glad if her mother help her however, she have doubts about it. It was already healthy for her that her mother left her behind. 'Good', she thought.

"Here's what you need to do, big miss. I will give you enough time to think how crutches work without my instructions since you are trying to be a rock head big miss Zhi." Her mother passed by at her, bringing the trashbag. Misses Zhi did not bother looking at her. Because obviously something was needed to be done without anyone's help.

A few minutes later, her mother just got back and strolled leisurely at her side of the floor. Xiao Mei Zhi was dying to go to her room and get a good rest. She did not want to think about the things she will miss for today. Her class at 6:30 am until 4pm, in addition to her part time at 5pm until 8pm.
