“Ugh! I don’t have a boyfriend. I’m just going to attend a friend’s gathering now.” She didn’t want to keep talking with her grandfather, so she simply found an excuse to leave.
“Gathering? Since when do you have friends here?” Shi Le was obviously a little doubtful of his granddaughter’s words.
“Why not? I’ve been here for quite a few years anyway. Why can’t I have any friends?” Shi Nuannuan was displeased. “Alright, I can’t talk any longer. I’m going to be late!”
As soon as she finished speaking, she had already turned around and ran away.
“Remember to come back tonight!”
“I know!”
…
More than 20 minutes later, Shi Nuannuan arrived at the hospital. It was already 7:30 pm.
However, she had been lingering at the door of Xiangyi’s ward and did not enter.
“Nuannuan?”
A voice came from behind the door. Shi Nuannuan looked up at Zhong Shenghao who had suddenly come out of the ward.
“Brother Shenghao, you haven’t gotten off work yet.”
“Yep. Why don’t you go in?”
Shi Nuannuan glanced in the direction of the ward’s door. “Is he awake?”
“Yes.” Zhong Shenghao nodded. He seemed to have figured out the reason she didn’t go in. She was still blaming herself for what happened last time.
“He’s fine now. His wound is recovering well, but…” He paused deliberately.
Shi Nuannuan successfully took the bait and turned anxious. “What?!”
“He hasn’t eaten dinner since he woke up.”
He had been in a coma for many days and had been relying on the drip to maintain his health. Now that he had finally woken up, it was best for him to eat something.
Shi Nuannuan couldn’t help but feel anxious when she heard that.
“I, I’ll go buy it for him!”
After saying that, she had already turned around and left.
As she didn’t know what Xiangyi wanted to eat and had forgotten to ask Zhong Shenghao, Shi Nuannuan decided to just buy a bunch of different kinds of food.
When she returned to the door of the ward, Zhong Shenghao was no longer there.
She glanced at Xiangyi’s ward through the glass window, but he wasn’t there either.
What should she do? Should she go in by herself?
But what if Xiangyi didn’t want to see her?
In the midst of her hesitation, she took out her phone and dialed Zhong Shenghao’s number.
“Hello, Brother Shenghao, where are you?”
“I’ve already gotten off work.” said Zhong Shenghao with a playful look on his face as he sat on the boss’s chair.
He’s already gotten off work?
“I bought dinner.”
“Okay, then hurry up and give it to Xiangyi.”
Did she have to go in alone?
She had clearly decided to come and see Xiangyi, but now that she was here, she was afraid that after Xiangyi wouldn’t want to see her. She was afraid he would look at her indifferently.
“Oh, right. Although he’s awake, he can’t move around. In order to prevent the wound from opening again, remember to feed him.”
Nuannuan’s eyes became wide open. She had to feed him? But… but she had never fed a man before…
“Alright, see ya then.”
Without waiting for Nuannuan to speak, Zhong Shenghao hung up the phone.
With dinner in hand, Shi Nuannuan lingered at the door of the ward for a while. She looked through the glass window and saw Xiangyi sound asleep. Only then did she carefully push the door open and enter.
However, just as she entered, Xiangyi, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes.
She stopped in her tracks and could not help but freeze on the spot.
Xiangyi was also a little surprised to see her. He scanned her body and noticed that the cast on her leg had already been removed, which meant that she had fully recovered.
He saw the food in her hand and spoke first. “You bought it for me?”
