Qi Yuyang said, “Isn’t that a good thing? Isn’t that a sign that our uncle is reacting to treatment?”
“I don’t know.” Qiao Qing frowned deeply, “Maybe I’m overthinking it.”
Jun Yexuan exchanged glances with Qi Yusen. The two of them held her by her waist and shoulder.
“Hungry? Let’s go eat.”
“No.” Qiao Qing turned to look at the patient who was now rolled out of the room, “I want to be by his side until he’s awake.”
Jun Yexuan said to Mu Jinghang, “Go order some takeout from Jing Li Xuan.”
Mu Jinghang touched his flat stomach, “Right away.”
“Why wait for takeout when you can eat what I packed?”
A graceful voice arose. Everyone in the room shuddered and looked to the other end of the hall. There, Qi Chengyu walked over with one hand in his pants pocket while his other held onto a food thermos.
“Fifth… fifth brother, why are you here?” Qi Yuyang replied with his tongue-tied.
Qi Chengyu, “You guys strangely left home with our sister for so long, the entire family is restless. If it weren’t for my quick wit and coming here to find you guys first, more people would be here by now.”
Qi Yuyang, “So you know about our uncle?”
Qi Chengyu, “I’m not as dumb as you.”
Qi Yuyang exploded, “Who’s dumb?! I’m your older brother!”
Qi Chengyu said emotionlessly, “You should be sorry for being so stupid at your age.”
“You… I… I…” Qi Yuyang pointed his finger at himself, then back at Qi Chengyu, “You aren’t dumb?! If you aren’t dumb, why did you spoil that adopted white lotus of a b!tch for so long?! You aren’t dumb?!”
Qi Chengyu’s face froze for a second. Then, he ignored the bash and dominatingly pulled Qiao Qing in for a hug.
“Hungry? I made you a lot of food and I’ve brought it over. Let’s go eat in the patient’s room.”
Qi Chengyu’s words made Qi Yuyang and Mu Jinghang swallow their own saliva.
…
Inside the VIP patient room.
Qiao Zibo quietly laid in his bed while Qi Chengyu and Qiao Qing sat by the table.
The moment the thermos opened, the delicious smell of cooked food filled the room.
The men, who were flat from hunger, felt their stomachs rumble.
Qi Chengyu placed all the different compartments of the thermos out on the table and handed Qiao Qing a pair of chopsticks, “Qingqing, eat.”
Qi Yuyang swallowed, “Fifth bro, why did you only cook one portion?”
Qi Chengyu said without any shame in his voice, “I only brought my sister’s portion.”
The brothers, “…”
Jun Yexuan, “…”
Mu Jinghang, “…”
Qiao Qing picked up the chopsticks then placed them back down. Awkwardly, she looked at the few pitiful men.
Qi Chengyu sighed and made a call, “Bring it all in.”
Before long, a group of people dropped off multiple thermoses. When opened, the smell was the same as before.
Qi Yuyang’s eyes brightened. He completely forgot about how he had just been cursed at as he shouted, “Fifth bro, your heart is soft!”
“Not soft towards you,” Qi Chengyu said, “If it weren’t for the fact that my sister is too embarrassed to eat alone, I never would’ve brought yours!”
The men did not try to deny this and started to eat.
Qi Chengyu eyed the man on the bed, “This is our uncle?”
It took Qiao Qing a moment before she nodded and said, “Yes.”
