He glanced at her and did not intend to push her away. Instead, he asked softly, “Aren’t you going to drink some water?”
Wen Sheng finally let go of him reluctantly.
He took the cup of water and brought it in front of her.
She reached out to take it. By accident, Xiang Yi caught a glimpse of two distinct purplish-red marks on her wrists. They were probably caused by her being tied up earlier.
When he found her, her hands were tied behind her back and she could not move.
He suddenly did not pass the cup to her, but instead, he went straight to her mouth.
She paused and was a little stunned, but she still went to her mouth and drank the water that he fed her.
“Oh –”
She had just taken a sip when she was scalded to the point that she vomited all over, tears even coming out.
“What’s Wrong?”He thought that something was wrong with her, and his eyes were filled with anxiety.
Shi Nuannuan raised her hand to wipe her mouth. Because she was a little distracted just now, she took a big gulp when she drank it. Only then did she realize that the water was very hot, and she could not even spit it out in time.
“Hot…”she frowned, and her beautiful eyes were full of tears.
Xiang Yi could not help but be startled, and he lowered his head to look at the water in the glass.
Perhaps the quilt was separated from the air, so when he took it, it was only warm, not very hot.
He glanced at her, then brought the water to his mouth and blew it gently.
The way he blew the water gently stunned her for a moment, and she fell into a daze.
“It’s done.”After blowing until it was slightly hot, he raised his eyes and brought the water to her mouth again.
Shi Nuannuan bit her lower lip and then looked at the glass of water. She closed her mouth and drank it all in one gulp, as if it was still not enough.
Xiang Yi was also very clear that after her high fever, her body was the most dehydrated. Moreover, she must have been thirsty for the whole night.
Hence, he poured a glass of water in front of the water dispenser in the morning, blew it cool, and fed it to her.
It was not until she drank two full glasses of water that Shi Nuannuan felt that her throat was much more comfortable.
“Do you want more?”
She shook her head. “There’s no need.”
Only then did he put down the glass of water.
The ward became quiet once again. The two of them looked into each other’s eyes, containing the longing they had for each other for the past few days. However, Xiang Yi could not say it out loud.
After a long silence, he suddenly stood up. “Rest well.”
After saying that, as though he did not need her reply, he turned around and left.
It was not easy for him to be willing to pay attention to her and talk to her. Of course, Shi Nuannuan was not willing to leave just like that!
“Xiang Yi!”
She panicked and did not bother about the injuries on her body. Although she had woken up, her Yuan Qi had not recovered and her body was still weak.
With a plop, Xiang Yi turned around and saw her fall to the ground. He could not help but feel his heart tighten as he turned around and carried her up.
“What are you doing again! ?”
Why was she always like this? She did not know how to cherish herself. She could not get out of bed, so why did she still want to get out of bed! ?
“Don’t go.”She reached out and grabbed a corner of his sleeve like a child.
That aggrieved look broke his heart and melted in an instant.
“Don’t go. You can ask, but why do you have to get out of bed?”He could not help but feel a little angry when he thought of the possibility that her injuries might worsen after she fell.
Shi Nuannuan lowered her eyebrows because most of the time it was subconscious. She would never have thought that she did not have any strength at all.
“I was afraid that you would leave, so I wanted to hold you back.”
“Don’t do this again next time.”His tone softened.
However, she seemed to have grabbed onto something. She raised her eyes and looked at him. “Then next time, as long as I ask, will you stay and not leave?”
He was startled, looking at her black pupil.
